Division 1 ACFL Round 1
Caulry 2-12
Coralstown/Kinnegad 1-17
Our lads came up short against Coralstown/Kinnegad when they hosted the side in the park for their opening round of the Division 1 ACFL on Saturday afternoon last.
Both sides were slow to settle into proceedings, exchanging early wides. The opposition then opened the scoring account on the 4th minute with a point from play. Playing with a strong breeze at their backs, Coralstown/Kinnegad tagged on scores a lot easier than Caulry in this opening half as by the quarter hour mark, they had notched up an unanswered seven points. A point from Aaron Murphy got our lads off the mark on the 17th minute. Our lads had further chances to score, none of which were successful. Rather, it was the opposition who tore down the field and fired home a goal with five minutes of the first half to play. Before the interval, the sides shared a tally of four points; Luke Buckley and Shane Lawless kicking points either side of a well-taken two-pointer for the visitors to leave them leading 1-9 to 0-3 at the break.
It looked as though the opposition were going to run away with the game throughout the third quarter of play as they added four scores to our two; both of Caulry’s scores were converted-frees by Alan Malynn. Caulry’s hopes were reignited on the 46th minute when we were awarded a penalty, which Malynn dutifully converted to bring the deficit back to eight. Coralstown/Kinnegad momentarily stretched their lead to nine with a point from play on the 51st minute. However, within the space of a couple of minutes, this deficit was almost halved thanks to the new two-point rule after Lawless and Stephen Connolly sent over two fine shots. The opposition’s next score was cancelled out by another fine point from Lawless. Just as the 60th minute elapsed, Alan Malynn put the narrowest of margins between the sides when he fired home a second goal (this time having availed of a pass from his brother Liam). Some people on the sideline were left perplexed by the next sequence of play as the referee signalled a 20m free against Caulry due to our defence momentarily disregarding the 3v3 rule. The opposition made no mistake on this occasion and converted the free to double the deficit. The man in the middle let one more passage of play to materialise which resulted in a Caulry free; Alan Malynn blasted this in towards the goal line, but ultimately, it paid no dividends as Coralstown/Kinnegad will be relieved to have escaped with the win.
