The Tralee outfit were trailing by four points after 40 minutes but Gearóid White — who finished with 1-4 — and Nick Lacey provided crucial goals to help steer Marc Ó Sé’s side to victory.
Carroll hit the net for a second time in the 64th minute as Tralee CBS stamped their ticket to the decider.

But it was Mullingar’s Coláiste Mhuire who prevailed as substitute Pádraig Monaghan scored a crucial goal in extra-time to help secure a five-point victory.
