Annascaul matched the Cork side for most of the hour and the issue was in doubt right to the end as Annascaul battled bravely against the increasing odds.
Annascaul introduced Sean Fox Farrell for Kieran ODriscoll at half-time but Carbery were not going to let this one slip away from them, and the West Cork side got the perfect tonic when wing back and captain John McCarthy pointed a free.
Annascaul will be disappointed at losing but they contributed to a magnificent hours entertainment and they can look forward to a great season ahead where they could well challenge for honours in Division One of the County League and in the West Kerry championship.
