Carbery Rangers junior D team played Muintir Bhaire in the championship on Friday evening last and had to settle for second best in a close encounter with only a couple of points separating them at the final whistle. Ross were slow to settle and conceded 3 points Before Geoff Wycherley found the net after a fine passing movement that started in the last line of defense. Ross goalie Conor Ryan made a brilliant save before Geoff was on hand to kick Rangers into the lead for the first time. The lead was short lived as Muintir Bhaire scored a goal and a point before the break and had a 3 point lead at the interval. David Creedon narrowed the gap soloing thru for a fine point. Philip Moor had two pointed frees while Muintir Bhaire had two points from play. Nicolas Peters and Geoff scored one each to tie up the game entering the final minutes. And with play switching from end to end it was Muintir Bhaire who raised the flag for the last 2 points to give them a 1-8 to 1-6 victory.  Team Conor Ryan, Donal Santry, Padraig O’Donovan, James Cussen, Michael Walsh, Gerard Flavin, Brendan Canty, David Creedon, Ivan Jennings, Barry O’Hea, Nicolas Peters, Shane Goggin, John Fitzpatrick, Geoff Wycherley, Philip Moore.
