Caulry 1-14

Tubberclair 3-15

Our minor boys were defeated in their opening round of the league when they 

made the journey to Tubberclair on Monday evening last.

Our lads made a promising start to the game and were three points the better of Tubberclair in as many minutes; Brian Doyle opened the scoring straight from throw-in before Lee Corcoran and Luke Quilty both traded points of their own. The home side’s first attack dropped short, but was eventually tapped over the bar by their no. 11 who done a lot of damage throughout the game. Tubberclair added another point from play prior to the first goal chance of the evening; an effort from Doyle which trickled out wide. Aaron Buckley’s 6th minute point momentarily put two between the sides. However, within a matter of minutes, the opposition had overturned the shoreline in their favour with a trio of unanswered points. As Tubberclair found their shooting boots, our lads seemed to lose theirs as our tally of wides grew. We had to wait until the 21st minute for our next score (a fine effort from Buckley), but by this time, Tubberclair had put four between the sides. Our lads settled for the remaining minutes of the half, adding 0-4 (Corcoran with a free, Adrien Lefebure adding two from play and Dean Martin with one) to Tubberclair’s 1-0 to trail by two at the break.

Tubberclair hit the ground running in the second half as they added 1-2 within the resuming six minutes. A fumble in the Tubberclair defence on the 39th minute resulted in Buckley finding the back of the net to make a dent in the deficit. Between the 41st and 55th minutes, the teams shared eight points with Corcoran (three frees) and Gavin McSharry on target for Caulry. Tubberclair rounded off the scoring with 1-1 late in the game to seal their victory on a scoreline of 3-15 to 1-14. 

Team & Scorers: John Paul, Gavin Quilty, Eoin McCormack, Michael McSharry, John McDermott, Daniel Lynam, Tyler Mason, Dean Martin (0-1), Brian Doyle (0-1), Luke Quilty (0-1), Lee Corcoran (0-5, 4f), Adrien Lefebure (0-2), Aaron Buckley (1-2, 1f), Ciaran Dunning, Luke Berry

Caulry 5-12 

Ballynacargy 3-13

Our second team kept up their winning ways when they hosted Ballynacargy on a sunset Carn Park on Tuesday evening last for this Round 3 Division 4 ACFL fixture.

Our lads burst out of the tracks with Shane Lawless scoring a point straight from the throw-in. Ballynacargy weren’t long about following suit with a point of their own on the 3rd minute. The visitors to the park then pounced on the following kick out and fired home a goal to take the lead. The men in yellow and blue added three more points to Caulry’s one (Liam Malynn on target after being on the receiving end of a pass from Adam Donoghue). However, the tides turn against Bal then between the 11th and 20th minutes as a quick scoring blitz yielded Caulry 3-1; Malynn tapped over a free before the trio of goals from Malynn (Cody Parker and Will Buckley setting up this attack), Donoghue (after a fine catch and pass by Neil Clinton) and Kyle Rainey (after Thomas Dunning’s initial effort rebounded back of the crossbar). Ballynacargy drew one of these back then when their sub fired the ball back Cillian Nagle into the top corner of the goal. But this was a short-lived relief as within seconds Lawless booted home Caulry’s fourth goal of the game after running the length of the field. The teams shared five points before the interval with Malynn adding two Caulry points to leave the scoreboard reading 4-5 to 2-7 at the break.

Our lads scuppered a few chances early in the second half as Ballynacargy were first to score with a converted-free. Donoghue restarted the Caulry scoring on the 41st minute, and this was closely followed by a well-taken goal by Malynn after a superb run up the field by David Gaynor. The sides exchanged frees then. The opposition brought it back to a five point game on the 50th when they tapped over a two-pointer free. Clinton’s 52nd minute point then preceded the game’s eighth goal when Ballynacargy managed to raise the green flag at the third point of asking (Johnny Buckley brought off a block initially, before a second attempt rattled off the crossbar). Points from Donoghue and Malynn were cancelled out up the other end of the field. Caulry then saw out the game with Lawless adding a duo of points to seal the 5-12 to 3-13 win.

Team & Scorers: Cillian Nagle, David Gaynor, Johnny Buckley, Alan Lynam, Cody Parker, Neil Clinton (0-1), Alan Daly, John Maguire, Shane Lawless (1-3), Ben Kenny, Thomas Dunning, Will Buckley, Kyle Rainey (1-0), Liam Malynn (2-6, 3f), Adam Donoghue (1-2)

Caulry 2-9

Maryland 4-14

Our third team suffered a defeat at the hands of Maryland on Thursday evening last when they hosted the men in blue and white for Round 3 of this year’s Division 7 ACFL.

Maryland were helped into an early lead after a breakdown in our defence resulted in a goal. The opposition added a free then before widening the gap further with 2-2 in quick succession. Nicky Killane opened our scoring account on the 15th minute with a two-pointer free. The visitors went on to out score Caulry on a 3:1 ratio with Gary Flanagan in target to leave us trailing at the halftime whistle. 

Maryland resumed the second half scoring with a fine two-pointer on the 32nd minute. David Gaynor gave Caulry a bit of hope when he fired home a goal then (this coming after a fine catch at midfield from Johnny Buckley). A converted-free from Flanagan further reduced the gap. However, Maryland weren’t long about rallying again as they rattled off 1-3 in quick succession. Our lads took charge of the last quarter as we out scored the men in blue and white 1-4 to 0-2; Brendan McCormack, Killane and Liam Doyle added the points while Philip Flanagan took his goal well on the 53rd minute. Ultimately, Maryland has the damage done in the earlier stages of the game as they ran out comfortable winners.

Team & Scorers: Ruiari Casey, Ciaran Allen, Ciaran Gaynor, Sylvester Coughlan, Jay Walker, Ernie Buckley, David Gaynor (1-0), Rory Mullins, Brendan McCormack (0-1), James Daly, Mark Fitzpatrick, James Carey, Nicky Killane (0-4, 3f, 1 2pt.), Gary Flanagan (0-2, 1f), Paddy McHugh

Caulry 3-11

Athlone 0-14

Our seniors picked up their second brace of points when they made the journey to Páirc Chiaráin on a sunny Sunday morning last.

Athlone hit the ground running with a point straight from the throw-in. The homeside then tapped over a free before Caulry got going, doing so in style when John Maguire rattled the back of the Athlone net after a fine ball in by Shane Lawless. Lawless was the play maker again for our second score; this time he was fouled and Alan Malynn dutifully converting the ensuing free. By the 10th minute, Caulry had built up a healthy five-point lead after Malynn fired home our second goal of the game (having won a ball in from Stephen Connolly). The opposition drew two back then with a well-taken two-pointer on the 17th minute. Athlone began taking their scores better at this stage in the game as the sides shared 0-4 with Connolly and Lawless on target. On the 28th minute, it looked as though there was a goal on for Athlone when their no. 11 strode forward. However, Damien Dolan skilfully intervened and turned the ball over. What should have been an Athlone goal resulted in Caulry’s hattrick after Harry Stuart Trainor pocketed this three-pointer to leave the scoreboard reading 3-3 to 0-6 at the break. 

Lawless restarted the second half scoring with a superb two-pointer (Sean Murphy, Luke Buckley and Stuart Trainor all giving a hand in setting up this score). By the 40th minute, it looked like the game was over as further scores from Malynn and Lawless saw our lead stretched to ten; Athlone’s only score during this period coming from a free. Between the 48th and 55th minutes, Athlone got a bit of pep in their step as they brought the deficit back to four; two two-pointers, from a free and from play, and two singular points from play slicing the deficit. Connolly momentarily broke the opposition’s momentum with his 58th minute point. Before the full-time whistle, the sides traded a score apiece; Athlone’s midfielder firing over a point from play and Jack Connaughton converting a two-pointer free to seal Caulry’s win on a scoreline of 3-11 to 0-14.

Team & Scorers: Jack Connaughton (0-2, 1 2pt., 1f), Glen Carolan, Sean Murphy, Olan Healy, Eoghan Grennan, Damien Dolan, Sean Clinton, Stephen Connolly (0-2), Colin Murphy, Shane Lawless (0-4, 1 2pt.), Harry Stuart Trainor (1-0), Cody Parker, Luke Buckley, John Maguire (1-0), Alan Malynn (1-3, 1f)

Subs: Neil Clinton for Colin Murphy, Thomas Dunning for Damien Dolan, Alan Lynam for Luke Buckley
