Caulry 1-13

The Downs 2-11

Our lads came up short against The Downs in their second round clash of the Division 1 ACFL on Saturday afternoon last in their second round park.

Despite owning most of the possession in the opening minutes of play, our lads failed to notch up any scores. Rather, it was The Downs who got off the mark after eight minutes with a fisted-point. Another Caulry attack failed to paid dividends then as the opposition were much more clinical up front with their corner forward rattling home their first of the afternoon’s goals. Caulry patched together some nice football between the 11th and 13th minutes which saw Alan Daly and Luke Buckley adding a duo of points. The sides then shared a tally of 0-4 (both our ours came from converted-frees courtesy of Alan Malynn). Just before the half- time whistle, the visitors tapped over a free of their own to leave the scoreboard reading 1-4 to 0-4 at the interval. 

The second half proved to be a very entertaining half hour of football. Caulry had a quick resurgence in the resuming minutes of the half and had the teams on par by the 35th minute after adding 1-1 to The Downs’ 0-1: Shane Lawless was instrumental in both of Caulry scores as he added a point before claiming the resulting kick out alongside Tom Cloonan to set Sean Murphy up for a three-pointer on the 35th minute. The Downs momentarily put Caulry on the back foot again when they fired over a two-pointer. However, a duo of points from Lawless and Malynn reinstated the draw. During this period of play, a myriad of Caulry shots on goal were blocked down and denied thanks to the Trojan work of The Downs defence. Rather, Caulry had to be patient up front and settle for points when they cropped up as scores from Malynn (one from play and one a free) and Tiarnán O’Donovan gave Caulry a dangerous three point lead by the 50th minute. However, this was short lived as the opposition, who were nipping at our heels throughout the game, turned the deficit on its head when they accounted for an unanswered 1-4 within the space of seven minutes. The last few minutes of play became scatty as the pressure from both defences forced wides. The final score of the game came from the boot of O’Donovan but this wasn’t enough for Caulry as once again, our lads saw themselves run out narrow losers.

Caulry 3-11

Tyrrellspass 2-13

Our lads escaped with a narrow win over Tyrrellspass on Sunday afternoon last when they hosted the blue and navy side in the park for this Division 4 ACFL fixture.

Caulry made a promising start to proceedings with Ben Kenny firing over a point within 35 seconds of the throw-in. Tyrrellspass weren’t long about finding their feet either and they done so in style on the 2nd minute with a well taken goal from play. Luke Buckley and Adam Donoghue were next to put their names on the scoresheet. By the 8th minute, Caulry led by three when Buckley fired home a goal after a good intercept from Cormac Murphy outfield. With the breeze at his back, Shane Lawless booted over a fine long-range effort then. However, Tyrrellspass brilliantly worked the following kickout and finished with a goal up their end of the field. It was Caulry who finished the half strong, tagging on an unanswered 2-5 to lead by eleven at the interval.

A very different second half was in store as Tyrrellspass chipped away at the deficit bit by bit. They began their retaliation with a smattering of points after the restart: three converted-frees, one of which a two pointer, and a point from play had narrowed the gap to six by the 40th minute. Lawless made a fantastic stride forward on the 42nd minute, but to no avail as his shot was blocked. Rather, we had to wait for Buckley to finish with a point for our next score. Liam Malynn converted a free then which turned out to be our last score of the game as the final quarter of play began. During this period, the tenacious Tyrrellspass side dug deep and rattled off score after score after score. In total, they added 0-10 from a combination of points from play, frees and two-pointers, but ultimately, ran out of time as Caulry were relieved to win by the narrowest of margins. 

Team & Scorers: Cillian Nagle, Ciaran Allen, Luke Hamilton, Cormac Murphy, Glen Carolan, Neil Clinton, David Gaynor, Alan Lynam, Shane Lawless (0-1), Will Buckley, Luke Buckley (2-3), Ben Kenny (0-1), Aaron Murphy (1-2), Liam Malynn (0-3, 3f), Adam Donoghue (0-1)
