Caulry 3-13

St. Mary’s Rochfortbridge 3-13

Our Division 4 ACFL team grappled back from a seven-point deficit to secure a draw when they hosted St. Mary’s of Rochfortbridge on Tuesday evening last.

The visitors opened the scoring account with a couple of points within the first two minutes. However, Caulry turned the scoreline on its head minutes later; Liam Malynn first pocketed a goal having booted in the ball from the 45m line and Oisín Shortall finished with a point on the 4th minute after Shane Lawless laid off the ball. St. Mary’s soon knocked the wind out of our sails as they worked the ball straight down the field and finished with a goal of their own. A point then on the 14th minute reinstated the opposition’s lead. Lawless found Colin Murphy with a pass, setting him up for the next point of the game. Malynn and Sean Murphy both added scores before the opposition levelled proceedings once again on the 20th minute. Caulry let their guard slip momentarily then as St. Mary’s pounced on the following kickout and fired home a goal. They then backed this up with another unanswered 1-1 to lead by seven heading into the last five minute of play. Scores from Colin Murphy and Darren Hynds were cancelled out at the other end of the field prior to the halftime whistle, leaving Caulry with all the work to do in the second half. 

The sides shared four points in the early stages of this half with Malynn and Alan Fitzpatrick on target for Caulry. Our lads then began to take charge of proceedings, launching a tirade of scores which yielded 1-3. Olan Healy’s fisted effort on the 37th minute seemed to get Caulry going. John Maguire then added a point before Mark Fitzpatrick chipped the keeper and reduce the gap to just one as the final quarter elapsed. Healy then struck lucky again with the equalising point. St. Mary’s dented our progress with their point on the 46th minute, but Caulry’s confidence was up; Colin Murphy claimed the following kickout and found Malynn with a pass who made no mistake in finding the back of the St. Mary’s net once again. The opposition kicked two vital frees on the 50th and 57th minutes to marginally lead in the dying stages of the game. But credit to the Caulry lads, they dug out scores with Sean Murphy and Alan Lynam overturning the scoreline once again. The referee gave St. Mary’s one more chance to attack, and that they did with their efforts resulting in a foul and a last-ditch chance to secure a draw; they’re free-taker dutifully converted as both sides were satisfied with the draw after an evenly matched contest.

Caulry 0-9

Castledaly 0-9

A similar fate was in store for our Division 2 ACFL lads when they made the journey to Castledaly on Sunday morning last for this Round 7 fixture.

Our lads owned most of the possession in the opening stages of the game; Tiarnán O’Donovan opened the scoring account within the first 60 seconds before Alan Malynn converted a ‘45’ on the 6th minute to give Caulry an early lead. Castledaly’s first score of the game came from a free on the 8th minute. They followed this score up with a well-taken long-range point from their no. 8 to level the game. Our lads edged in front once again after a catch from Stephen Connolly at midfield set Ben Moran up for a point. Both sides were wasteful up front with the next score of the game not coming until the 24th minute; this from a converted-free by Malynn. Castledaly kept in touching distance as they immediately followed with a point of their own. Malynn was enabled to add another, this time from play thanks to Harry Stuart Trainor winning a kickout. But in similar fashion, Castledaly replied with a point of their own to leave the scoreboard reading 0-5 to 0-4 to Caulry at the break. 

The second half mirrored the first half in that nine scores were converted, with Castledaly benefitting marginally. Despite Connolly adding a fine point for Caulry inside the resuming minute of the second half, our lads failed to push on. Rather, Castledaly responded with two points of their own, both courtesy of their no. 13. The next score of the game came from the boot of Connolly when he converted a free on the 40th minute. This lacklustre tempo continued right up until the final few minutes of the game. A trio of Castledaly points between the 52nd and 55th minutes injected a bit of excitement in the game as Caulry found themselves behind for the first time in the game. Our lads struggled to take scores against the packed yellow and green defence with just two chances being converted; both from frees courtesy of Jack Connaughton and Liam Malynn. Both sides had very lat chances to see if one team could prevail but ultimately nothing separated the sides as the scoreline read 0-9 apiece at fulltime. 

Team & Scorers: Jack Connaughton (0-1, 1f), Darren Hynds, Tom Cloonan, Sean O’Neill, Damien Dolan, Eoghan Grennan, Harry Stuart Trainor, Stephen Connolly (0-2, 1f), Sean Clinton, Sean Murphy, Colin Murphy, Tiarnán O’Donovan (0-1), Alan Malynn (0-3, 2f), Ben Moran (0-1), John Maguire

Subs: Alan Lynam for Damien Dolan, Oisín Shortall for Sean Murphy, Glen Carolan for Alan Malynn, Liam Malynn (0-1, 1f) for Colin Murphy
