It was with great sorrow and regret that we learned of the untimely passing of Caulry stalwart Ger Muldoon recently. Ger was a very proud Caulry man and leaves behind him a legacy much to be desired. Ger started out playing football with our club at underage level and his adult playing career lasted over thirteen years, debuting in 1970. When he finished playing, Ger was always more than happy to help off the field as served on various committees. He will be remembered for his work and contributions as chairman of our club in which he served in for an impressive 9 years from 1995 to 2003. Ger continued to be a loyal Caulry supporter throughout his life, following our team all around the county, and we extend our deepest sympathies to the Muldoon family, Carn Park at this time.

Congratulations to all the lucky winners and a massive thank you to all who supported our draw.

Caulry 2-9

Athlone 1-6

Our U16s made the short journey to Athlone on Monday evening last for their first game of this year’s championship.

The homeside were first off the mark with a point from their midfielder on the 4th minute. Hugo McGowan then levelled the game when he tapped over a free after John Paul was fouled. Caulry then took the lead with points from Gavin McSharry and Darragh Belton (both Paul and Rhys Mason playing important roles in these set-ups). Athlone drew one back on the 13th minute, but it was Caulry who found the posts easier with points from McGowan, Mason and McSharry giving Caulry a three-point lead at the break.

The opposition got off to a glorious start in the second half was they walked the ball into the back of the Caulry net within the resuming 20 seconds of play. The sides then shared 0-4 with McGowan adding both Caulry points. The turning point came on the 43rd minute when Mason fired home a goal after a patch of good, combined teamwork to reinstate our three-point lead. Paul then added a point, but this was equalised at the other end of the field. Athlone’s deficit was doubled on the 52nd minute when Aaron Buckley struck lucky. A lull then fell on play as the game had to be abandoned on the 54th minute due to an injury in our camp. We wish Fionn a speedy recovery, alongside the Athlone player who picked up an injury earlier in the game.

Team & Scorers: Sam Hatton, Tom Madden, Gavin Quilty, Fionn Murphy, Kevin O’Brien, John McDermott, Tristan Dolan, John Paul (0-1), Rhys Mason (1-1), Hugo McGowan (0-4, 1f), Gavin McSharry (0-2), Luke Berry, Darragh Belton (0-1), Aaron Buckley (1-0), Darragh Martin

Caulry 0-8

Tubberclair 5-18

Our minors suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Tubberclair when the sides met in Round 2 of this year’s championship on Thursday last.

The homeside were first to open the scoring account with a point on the 1st minute. Aaron Murphy levelled down our end of the field with a free. The same man put Caulry in front then with another pointed-free. However, Tubberclair weren’t long about settling into proceedings as they added an unanswered four points before the end of this quarter. Murphy accounted for the next two Caulry scores, again both from frees with fouls on Kyle Rainey who worked tirelessly throughout the game. But the homeside were at a different pace as they worked the following kickout for a goal, and then followed this up with another fine point. Dean Martin registered our first score from play on the 20th minute when he settled for a point after Simon O’Grady’s goal was well blocked down. Tubberclair proceeded to outscore Caulry 1-1 to 0-1 then before the halftime whistle, giving our lads a mountainous task for the second half. 

Now with the breeze on their backs, Tubberclair rattled off points left, right and centre, stretching the already daunting deficit. Lee Corcoran and Luke Nolan drew two of the opposition’s scores back in the second half but there was always only ever going to be one result as Tubberclair ran out comfortable winners.

Team & Scorers: John Paul, Dara Shortall, Cormac Murphy, Kyle Byrne, Daniel Lynam, Dean Martin (0-1), Eoin McCormack, David Gaynor, Brian Doyle, Cody Parker, Aaron Murphy (0-5, 5f), Dean Burns, Simon O’Grady, Lee Corcoran (0-1, 1f), Kyle Rainey

Subs: Aaron Hanevy for Daniel Lynam, Cian Malone for Dean Burns, Sean Donnelly for Dara Shortall, Luke Nolan for Simon O’Grady, Conor Devaney for Kyle Rainey 

Caulry 0-9

Athlone 0-12

Our seniors suffered their second defeat in as many rounds when they made the short journey to play Athlone in Moate on Sunday evening last. 

Despite going in with the lead at the break, Athlone left much to be desired in terms of scoring throughout the half; one such example opening the game on the 1st minute when their centre-forward’s effort went wide. The opposition then kicked the first score of the match from a converted ‘45’. A quadruple of wides followed (one of these from the boot of a Caulry player, Senan Baker) before Athlone’s no. 13 split the posts on the 8th minute. Again, the men in blue and white wasted chances. Tadgh Baker then opened Caulry’s account on the 11th minute, but this was closely followed by a duo of Athlone points. Scores were slow to come by in the second quarter as both sides missed chances. The opposition’s midfield worked tirelessly and utilised Caulry’s kickout to their advantage on the 26th minute adding another couple of points. Damien Dolan’s late effort punctuated the half as Athlone retreated to the dressing rooms with a four-point advantage at the interval.

Our lads made a good start to the second half accounting for the first two scores; Senan Baker rounded off a patient move on the 32nd minute before Malynn tapped over a routine free to slice the deficit in two. Athlone’s first attack came on the 34th minute, but this effort proved futile as a fisted-goal was over ruled. They had to waited until the 37th minute for their opening score of the half, this a well taken point from play. Caulry hit a slight purple patch between the 40th and 47th minutes with four unanswered points; Malynn kickstarted the revolution having won the kickout and finished with a fine point. Scores from Baker and Malynn then preceded a point from Stephen Connolly to give our lads the lead for the first time in the game. However, we failed to push on from this point and Athlone kept cool under the mounting pressure. They secured the equaliser on the 49th minute before picking their scores well on the 55th, 57th and 59th minutes to reinstate their lead. Emmet Nally’s score on the 60th minute brought the game back to a one-score contest and kept the dwindling Caulry dreams alive, but ultimately, Athlone were able to hold strong and ran out winners with three points to spare. 

Team & Scorers: Jack Connaughton, Darren Hynds, Tom Cloonan, Damien Dolan (0-1), Harry Stuart Trainor, Sean Clinton, Tadgh Baker (0-1), Stephen Connolly (0-1), Senan Baker (0-2), Eoghan Grennan, Sean Doyle, Olan Healy, Conor McCormack, Alan Malynn (0-3, 1f), John Maguire
