Carrick RFC Semi-final goes to replay <\/strong>(S. Weaver)<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Carrick RFC put in a classic performance today during the eagerly-awaited semi-final against Corinthians RFC. \u00a0Despite missing some key players through injury, the Carrick team put in a sterling performance against their Galway opponents, resulting in an 10-10 draw.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the league final in their sights, both teams came out fighting, with neither side prepared to concede a point. \u00a0Although both Carrick and Corinthians had a first-half shot at the posts after being awarded penalties, neither team was able to turn this into points and the score line remained at nil all. More than 30 minutes of play had passed before either side managed to put any points up on the board, but it was Carrick who took a hard won try, with Noel McDermott crossing the line to put the team 5-0 up. \u00a0A conversion by Eddie Weaver took Carrick into half-time with a 7-0 lead.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With difficult pitch conditions, Carrick found it difficult to hold Corinthians at bay during the second half of play, and conceded a penalty which gave their opponents the chance to narrow the margin to 7-3. \u00a0Despite most of the play being in their own half for the remainder of the match, Carrick defended their line well against a strong Corinthians pack. \u00a0With only two minutes of play remaining, and still recovering from a costly yellow card, Carrick conceded a try, giving Corinthians a one point lead.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Corinthians went on to convert, increasing their lead to 10-7, and with only seconds left on the clock, Carrick managed to get the ball down to the Corinthians half for a last minute attempt to pull the score back in their favour. \u00a0Some scrappy play and poor discipline by Corinthians led to a penalty for Carrick, and with a chance to equalise, Carrick chose to take a shot at the posts. \u00a0With a place in the final still to play for, Carrick were under serious pressure, but the team showed their mettle and fly-half Weaver secured the points, giving a full-time score of 10-10.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The league rules now dictate a replay at Corinthians to decide which team will go forward to the league final which is scheduled to take place at the showground in Galway at the beginning of May.<\/p>\n
