SFC Semi Final
Caulry
0-6
Coralstown/Kinnegad 1-8
Our seniors bowed out of this year’s championship with a defeat to Coralstown/Kinnegad on Sunday evening last.
Coralstown/Kinnegad were first to open the scoring account after overturning our attack and finishing with a point on the 3rd minute. The opposition then went two points the good with a converted-free. A couple of chances for us went astray before Senan Baker kicked our opening score from a free on the 10th minute. Coralstown/Kinnegad reinstated their two-point lead with a similar free at the other end of the field. Our lads had another chance to draw back the deficit but what should have been a Caulry point was finished over the bar by the opposition on the 15th minute. We were lucky on this occasion though as Kevin Maguire provided a necessary cushion to stop the men in white and red firing home a goal. Baker added another free on the 20th minute. Overall, Coralstown/Kinnegad looked more dangerous up front throughout this half as their no. 14 found a pocket of space in a packed defence and riffled the back of our net. The opposition then followed this up with a point to lead 1-5 to 0-2 at the break.
Early chances for Coralstown/Kinnegad failed to pay dividends in the opening stages of the second half. Instead, it was Conor McCormack who was first to point, this a fine score on the 36th minute from the terrace side of Cusack Park. Coralstown/Kinnegad drew this back moments later, but McCormack was on form as he set over another point, similar to his preceding score. Both sides missed scores before McCormack got his hattrick of points at the end of the third quarter, this from a free. Our lads tried hard throughout the second half but with Coralstown/Kinnegad back in numbers, our forwards struggled to find their shooting boots. The next score of the game came from Damien Dolan after a quickly taken free from McCormack. This left just three points between the sides as the final ten minutes approached. However, Coralstown/Kinnegad remained calm under pressure and picked off a point to widen the gap once again. Jack Connaughton brought off a fine save on the 55th minute. However, our dreams of a county final were soon put to bed when a late Coralstown/Kinnegad point put them five points the good as stoppage time elapsed.
Despite the result, this has been a huge step forward for our club. 77 years since our club were last represented in a senior championship semi-final. The experience of this game will stand to our lads and they’ll come back bigger and better. Well done to the lads and their management team of Shane Curran, Owen Mooney and Padraig Moran for their hard with and commitment during the year!
