Carlow condemned already promoted Wexford to a 2-14 to 1-7 defeat this afternoon for their fourth win in Division 4.
Once again the visitors opted to field a weakened team with their sights set on a league final meeting against Westmeath next Saturday and that suited the Barrowsiders to pick up the points at Newatch Cullen Park.
Jamie Clarke registered two second-half goals for the home side against a Model outfit which were reduced to 14 just after the break.
In Mullingar, Westmeath took a different approach than their fellow promotion winners and dished out a 3-26 to 1-9 hammering to London.
The Lake County had plenty of damage done in the first-half, leading by 3-19 to 0-3, before the Exiles went on and quadrupled their tally.
