Caulry 4-13

Garrycastle 2-12

Our second team battled it out against Garrycastle in the park on Tuesday evening last for this Round 6 fixture of the Division 4 ACFL.

The sides exchanged early scores from placed-balls with Garrycastle converting a free before Luke Buckley tapped over a '45' for us. Buckley then kicked the first score from play; this a fine two-pointer on the 8th minute. The sides shared four points then before the end of the first quarter with Adam Donoghue and Neil Clinton adding points (two fisted efforts that were well worked). Aaron Murphy got the first goal of the game then straight from the kickout with Sean Murphy had won under the break. Once again, the game went on a tit-for-tat basis as Garrycastle cancelled out points from Murphy and Buckley. Buckley then widened the gap to ten late in the half with another converted '45' and a goal (this after combining nicely with John Maguire). The opposition made a slight dent in the deficit however, adding a goal late in the half to trail 2-10 to 1-6 at the break. 

Buckley restarted the second half scoring with a point inside the first 30 seconds of throw-in. Garrycastle brought the deficit back to four when they opened up our defence and finished with a goal. The rate of scores then plateaued as Harry Stuart Trainor's and Maguire's points were cancelled out at the other end of the field. Cody Parker struck lucky on the 51st minute when he made his way in from the corner and somehow got a goal that never looked on. Garrycastle, however, weren't deterred by this as they went in search of a goal of their own. They had three shots in a matter of minutes, none of which were successful thanks to two brilliant saves from Cillian Nagle and one courtesy of the woodwork. Eventually, the men in green and red had to settled for a point on the 53rd minute. Stuart Trainor made a brilliant stride forward on the 57th minute and fired for a goal which rebounded back before Liam Malynn's helping hand helped it into the net. Garrycastle added two late points, but ultimately, they chased the deficit throughout as this win sees our lads pick up their fifth brace of points.

Caulry 2-14

Garrycastle 4-13

Our seniors came up short against Garrycastle in the park in Saturday evening last for their penultimate round of the Division 1 ACFL.

Shane Lawless opened the scoring account in style when he fired over a two-pointer inside the opening 60 seconds of throw-in. However, by the end of the 2nd minute, the visitors to the park were in front as they added 1-1 in quick succession. Garrycastle looked dangerous up front by times with Jack Connaughton having to deny them another goal on the 4th minute. Two points (one from a free and one from play) for the opposition preceded our second score of the game; this coming from the boot of Kevin Maguire on the 10th minute after a fine catch at midfield by Stephen Connolly. The sides shared four points then with Shane Lawless and Alan Malynn both taking their points well. A converted two-pointer free by Connaughton put the narrowest of margins between the sides on the 22nd minute. But just as we got in touching distance, Garrycastle took it up a gear and rattled off 1-3 before the interval to lead by seven at the break. 

Garrycastle dealt Caulry a sucker punch straight after the restart when they fired home their third goal of the game. Oisín Shortall drew this back three minutes later after a couple of missed scoring chances for our lads. Sean Murphy’s 34th minute point was cancelled out up the other end of the field. Our lads managed to close the gap somewhat then as Malynn sent over two points which yielded 0-3; he converted a two-pointer free before adding a point from play after the initial effort hit the post. Between these two scores, Luke Buckley was unlucky not to get a goal as a pass into him deflected out and wide. In similar fashion though, just as Caulry got close, Garrycastle pushed on as they added an unanswered 1-1; their goal came on the 44th and their point on the 47th. Between these two scores, Lawless and John Maguire both had shots for goals, but both were saved. The teams shared 0-6 then with Connolly and Malynn on target for Caulry. Malynn struck lucky on the 59th minute as he hit the back of the Garrycastle net but ultimately, the visitors had done enough to secure their win.

Team & Scorers: Jack Connaughton (0-2, 1f, 1 2pt.), Glenn Carolan, Kevin Maguire (0-1), Olan Healy, Neil Clinton, Cormac Murphy, Sean Clinton, Stephen Connolly (0-1), Sean Murphy (0-1), Oisín Shortall (1-0), Harry Stuart Trainor, Shane Lawless (0-3, 1 2pt.), Tiarnán O’Donovan, John Maguire, Alan Malynn (1-6 2 2pt f)

Caulry 4-13

Bunbrosna 1-22

Our third team had to settle for a draw when they made the journey to Bunbrosna on Sunday morning last for their fourth game of the Division 7 ACFL.

Dean Burns opened the scoring account after Liam Malynn sent in a sideline ball which Burns dutifully popped over the bar. Bunbrosna’s no.15 done similar up their end of the field moments later. The Mullins brothers combined well on the 8th minute with Adam finishing off the move with a point from play. Further points from Burns and Malynn stretched the Caulry lead to three. By the 21st minute, the homeside had the gap back to just one after outscoring Caulry 0-3 to 0-1; Jack O’Meara on target for us. However, Caulry went in at the break with their tails up as we added 1-1 before the halftime whistle; Malynn rattled off a goal on the 22nd minute after O’Meara’s initial shot for a point came back off the upright and the same man also added a point on the 29th minute to cap off the first half scores. 

The homeside accounted for the first three points of the second half and trailed by just one by the 33rd minute. Burns put four between the sides then when he rattled the back of the Bunbrosna net after a nice build up of play via Gary Flanagan, Paddy McMahon and Jay Walker. Liam Doyle further stretched our lead then with his point from play (Flanagan and Burns combining nicely under the kickout to set up this score). However, Bunbrosna undone all our hard work within a matter of minutes as they added 0-4, one of these a well taken two-pointer. Doyle added his second point of the game then on the 40th minute to put three between the sides. Within seconds of this score, the gap was back to six after Ciaran Gaynor drove forward from the defence and finished with a goal. A Bunbrosna point preceded Paddy McMahon’s score of the 43rd minute (Doyle helping to set this one up). Our lads conceded 1-1 then which meant it was level pegging heading into the final quarter of the game. The opposition showed great determination to come from behind and by the 51st minute, they were three points ahead thanks to a smattering of well taken points. Nicky Killane fisted over a point then to somewhat settle proceedings. Johnny Buckley added another before Ernie Buckley fired home a goal with seven minutes to spare to edge our lads in front once again. Malynn’s point then stretched the Caulry lead to three. However, the Bunbrosna men weren’t going to lie down just yet as they battled hard and managed to create two successful scoring opportunities to close the gap once again. Rory Mullins doubled the deficit to two with his effort on the 60th minute and it looked as though Caulry might sneak the win. However, it wasn’t to be as Bunbrosna worked the ball down the field and finished the half by converted a pair of frees to salvage themselves a share of the spoils deep into injury time.

Panel & Scorers: Max O’Sullivan, Ciaran Gaynor (1-0), Ciaran Allen, Ernie Buckley (1-0), Rory Mullins (0-1), Dara Shortall, Mark Fitzpatrick, Johnny Buckley (0-1), Adam Mullins (0-1), Liam Malynn (1-3), Jack O’Meara (0-1), Nicky Killane (0-1), Dean Burns (1-2), Patrick Kenny, Jay Walker, Will Buckley, Gary Flanagan , Paddy McMahon (0-1), Liam Doyle (0-2), Paddy McHugh
