Caulry 3-13

Tyrrellspass 3-16

Our U20s bowed out of this year’s championship at the quarter final stages when they battled it out against Tyrrellspass in Shandonagh on Saturday last.

The first score of the game came via a converted ‘45’ from Andrew Stuart Trainor. Tyrrellspass sent over the levelling score via a free on the 9th minute. The opposition then nose in front with the first score from play of the game. Stuart Trainor accounted for our second score, this from a mark on the 12th minute. The sides were evenly matched for much of this half, trading another duo of points. A 20th minute goal from Tadgh Baker injected a bit of excitement into the game (both the goal scorer and midfielder Harry Stuart Trainor combing nicely to set up this important score). Caulry then pounced on the following kickout with Tiarnán O’Donovan finishing off this play with a point. The opposition briefly intercepted this period of Caulry dominance with a point of their own on the 21st minute, however, three further points from Oisín Shortall and Andrew Stuart Trainor stretched our lead. Tyrrellspass kicked the last score of the half to see them trail 1-7 to 0-5 at the break. 

It looked as though our lads might run away with the game in the early stages of the second half as Shortall fired home a goal before Stuart Trainor added another pointed-free. However, the opposition weren’t going to lie down and surrender as a trio of Tyrrellspass points slashed the deficit. The tide began to turn quickly against Caulry as an altercation reduced both sides to 14 players, with one of our key forwards leaving the field. We suffered a double blow then as the lads in blue and navy worked the ball up the field and rattled the back of the Caulry net, leaving just three points between the sides. Our next score came via Lee Corcoran on the 48th minute after a patient build up. However, Tyrrellspass remained calm and collected as the Caulry lads seemed to buckle under the pressure with another player retreating to the dugout. The opposition picked their scores well as four unanswered points meant Caulry would have the undesirable fate of playing extra time with two men down.

Tyrrellspass nosed in front as they kicked the first score of extra time. However, the scoreline was shortly overturned when O’Donovan, like a man on a mission, headed straight for goal and rattled the back of the Tyrrellspass net. We owned much of the following possession, but failed to take our scoring chances, including one goal opportunity. Unlike ourselves, Tyrrellspass were more clinical up front and pocketed a goal of their own on the 5th minute from a long-distance kick. Dean Burns’ point momentarily brought the game back to level, but by the halftime whistle, Tyrrellspass had reinstated their two-point lead. 

The sides exchanged points in the early stages of the second passage of extra time. However, by the halfway mark, Tyrrellspass were as good as home and hosed when they added 1-1 in quick succession. Our lads drew two points back, but ultimately, Tyrrellspass had done enough to secure their semi-final spot. Hard luck to the lads and their management.
