All roads lead to TEG Cusack Park on Saturday evening next to see our senior team take to the field for their first game of this year’s championship. The opposition on the evening will be provided by Tyrrellspass. The sides last met in last year’s competition in Round 2 which saw our lads prevail on a score line of 1-15 to 1-12. This game kicks off at 5:15pm and should be an entertaining battle as both sides will be hoping to get their campaigns off to a winning start. All supporters are asked to get behind the lads on the evening. We wish them and their management team of Pat Flanagan, Joe Quinn and Kevin Connaughton the very best of luck.

Our juniors also start their championship campaign on the preceding Friday evening when they host Killucan in the park at 7:30pm. All support is greatly appreciated.

 

Caulry 1-11

The Downs 1-11

Caulry and The Downs served up an entertaining hour of football when the sides clashed in the park on Thursday evening last for the first round of the minor championship.

It was our lads who started the game best and were 0-4 to 0-1 up by the 12th minute; The Downs opened the scoring account before Simon O’Grady added our first point on the 3rd minute. Lee Corcoran then put Caulry in front when he converted a ‘45’ which resulted from Aaron Murphy’s goal effort being sent out wide. Murphy then put his name on the scoresheet with a converted-free before Corcoran added his second and Caulry’s fourth. The Downs always kept in touching distance, however, with a duo of points bringing the gap back to one. Murphy accounted for the next score of the game, again from a placed ball. The opposition put pressure on the Caulry defence throughout, and one such effort nearly ended up in the goal but our netminder John Paul done well to stop this shot. What could have been a goal for The Downs, ended up a Caulry point after the ball was worked nicely up the field via Kyle Byrne. The opposition brought the gap back to two then with a converted-free. Caulry were wasteful up front in the later stages of the half only adding one point to leave the scoreboard reading 0-7 to 0-4 at halftime.

The opposition were like greyhounds out of the tracks in the resuming minutes of the second half, but thankfully from a Caulry point of view their accuracy up front left much to be desired as they only converted 0-2 from what could have been 2-2. The Caulry lads seemed to be asleep for much of the third quarter with David Gaynor registering our only point on the 42nd minute. Another point for The Downs saw just one point separating the sides as the final quarter approached. Points from Corcoran and Aaron Hanevy momentarily stretched the lead back to three, but The Downs were on a mission as they worked the ball down the field and fired home a goal. This seemed to be the spark that reignited Caulry’s fire as our lads responded in style with Corcoran rattling the back of the opposition’s net within the same minute to reinstate our three-point. The visitors had another goal chance from the following kickout, but on this occasion, they had to settle for a point. The Downs boys were hungry for the win and two further well-taken points saw it level pegging with just two minutes left on the clock. Caulry, again will rue our missed chances with one effort falling wide, and another falling short. This second chance gave the opposition a chance to attack once again which resulted in a free which was dutifully tapped over to nose The Downs in front. Caulry had to dig deep and with pressure mounting, a foul was committed on Kyle Rainey, giving our free taker a chance to level the game; Murphy showed good composure on this occasion as it tapped the ball over the bar as the referee signalled for fulltime and the sides settled for a share of the spoils.
