CARBERY RANGERS 1-13
CILL NA MARTRA 0-6
CARBERY RANGERS will play Cork Credit Unions Division 1 county league football once again next year following an impressive victory at home to Cill na Martra on Friday night.
Missing a host of regulars, Seamus Hayes’ team kept their Gaeltacht opponents to a single point in the second period and ran out deserving winners.
1-3 from Paul Hodnett and 0-7 from Darragh Hayes ensured Rangers got the win they needed to stay up in their final league outing.
Rangers knew they had to avoid defeat to secure their Division 1 status for 2024, and did just that, turning their 0-7 to 0-5 lead at the interval into a ten-point winning margin.
Valley Rovers and Kiskeam are the two teams relegated to Division 2.
