Saturday 11 March 2023 Burrin Road, Carlow (New Oak Boys)
New Oak dominated this encounter against a strong Crettyard side on a difficult surface on the Burrin Road.

A brilliant left footed cross from a corner by Keelan Brennan was met superbly by the head of Daniel Custerson to make it 1-0 to the hosts.

H/T score 1-0 to the home side.
The second half started in the same vein as the first but with Crettard having whatever wind advantage there was.

Throughout the second half, there were a number of crunching tackles made by both sides but all within the spirit of the game.
