Monday, 14 February 2022 15:12

They'll play Meath or Derry in the final four.

Offaly 6-27

Carlow 0-2

Having overcome Kildare in their opening match of this year’s Championship, the Offaly Minor Camogie team took on Carlow in the second round of the Tesco All Ireland Minor B Championship on Sunday in Kilcormac.

The pitch was in good condition considering the heavy rain that fell the previous night but was still very soft under foot.

From the throw in the Offaly girls worked the ball up the field in series of rapid passes to finish off with a goal by Roisin Kinsella. This was an early indication of what was to come and with 10 minutes gone the scoreline read 3-4 to Carlow’s sole point and even at this early stage the game seemed over as a contest.
