Kildare GAA: Sarsfields pull away late on

Sarsfields proved too strong for a very game Carbury side in the final game at Cedral St Conleth's Park, this afternoon in the Joe Mallon Motors SFC preliminary round.

In the end there was nine points separating side, somewhat harsh on Carbury it has to be said.

The Newbridge led at the break 0-10 to 0-6 but Carbury were still well in touch up to the 50 minute when a Karl Hartley goal put a bit of daylight between them.

Two exceptional displays in this one. Daragh Ryan who scored 1-6 from half-back for the winners while Eoin Cully had a great game, hitting seven points in total, all from play.

Final score: Sarsfields 2-16 Carbury 0-13.

Scorers: Sarsfields, Daragh Ryan 1-6 ( 1 two-pointer), Ben Loakman 0-5 (2 frees), Karl Hartley 1-1, Jake Loakman 0-3 (3 frees), Shea Ryan 0-1.

Carbury, Eoin Cully 0-7, Jack Smyth 0-2 (two-pointer), Wayne Cummins 0-2 (two-pointer free), Jack Cully 0-1 (free), Ben Kearney 0-1.
