Rathcline are through to the Senior Football Championship quarter-finals for the first time in 14 years following their comprehensive victory over Carrickedmond in the Group 2 Round 5 clash at Páirc Chiarán, Newtowncashel on Friday night last.
Rathcline . . . 1-11 Carrickedmond . . . 0-8
Rathcline were comfortable as soon as Iarla O’Sullivan punched the ball to the net inside the first quarter. Carrickedmond could never bridge the gap that the 3-pointer created and the stop-start nature of the second half didn’t support a comeback.
Six points ahead at the break (1-8 to 0-5), the Lanesboro side consolidated their tight grip on the match and can now look forward to a last eight showdown against Longford Slashers in a couple of weeks time.
