Championship Fixtures
Our intermediate ladies make the journey to Athlone on Thursday evening next for their fourth and final group stage game of the championship. The sides met in the league earlier in the year and after a tough battle, our girls came out on top on a scoreline of 4-6 to 1-13. The ladies will be hoping to replicate the result when they take to the field at 7pm in this must win game.
Our minor boys are also out in championship action on Thursday. They make the long journey to Killucan in search of a semi-final spot.
We wish both sides the very best of luck in their games and encourage our supporters to get behind them in numbers.
Ladies IFC Round 3
Caulry 1-8
Loughnavalley 2-9
Our ladies hosted a strong Loughnavalley side in the park on Thursday evening last for their third round of the intermediate championship.
Our girls got off to a magnificent start as they opened the game with 1-1 in quick succession: Kate Stuart Trainor initially kicked a point before Aishling Gaynor hit the back of the net after Leah Quigley got under the opposition’s kickout. Caulry added another point (Aine Gaynor from a free) before Loughnavalley got their opening score on the 12th minute (this a goal after a myriad of missed chances). Our girls kept their lead in tact with Gaynor (a free) and Stuart Trainor (two from play) outscoring Loughnavalley 3:1. The visitors hit a purple patch between the 20th and 21st minutes, adding 1-2 to momentarily take the lead. However, a late point from Quigley saw the sides all square at the half time whistle as the scoreboard read 1-6 to 2-3.
The rate of scoring slowly in the second half with the sides splitting eight points. Loughnavalley kicked the first five of these on the 31st, 35th, 44th and 48th minutes. Karrissa Burns and Quigley both added points then to reduce the gap to three. On the 53rd minute, Gaynor’s shot at goal was saved and she was fouled which resulted in a penalty, which ultimately, we failed to convert. Loughnavalley added another point insurance point deep into injury time to secure themselves the win.
Team & Scorers: Rachel Maguire, Aoife Collins, Amy Murphy, Anna Malone, Ella Corcoran, Ruth Martin, Lauren Claffey, Jasmine Maloney, Megan Clinton, Leah Quigley (0-2), Kate Stuart Trainor (0-3), Aine Gaynor (0-2, 2f), Molly Connaughton, Aishling Gaynor (1-0), Karrissa Burns (0-1)

J2FC Round 2
Caulry 1-17
Tyrrellspass 2-15
Our lads came up short against Tyrrellspass when they hosted the side in the park on Friday evening last.
The sides exchanged early points with Liam Malynn adding two for Caulry. Tyrrellspass went ahead by one momentarily on the 8th minute but three minutes later, it was Caulry who led by four: Adam Donoghue found the back of the net before a two-point free by Malynn gave our lads the advantage. However, this game was full of twists and turns as within a matter of minutes the blue and navy side were back four points the good after a brace of points, including two two-point frees. Olan Healy set Nicky Killane up for a point on the 24th minute. The visitors got a well worked goal then when they caught Caulry on the counter attack and raced down the field. Malynn converted a free to leave our lads trailing by five at the break.
Straight from the restart, the opposition got their second goal of the game to leave our lads chasing an eight point deficit. Mark Fitzpatrick’s point on the 32nd minute was cancelled out up the other end of the field then. A brace of converted frees by Malynn halved the deficit by the 39th minute. Tyrrellspass pulled away again slightly with further pointed-frees as a myriad of long balls in by our lads proved unsuccessful. Donoghue’s point on the 50th minute brought the gap back to four. Healy was fouled up front outside the 30m arc and Malynn split the posts to reduce the gap back to two. Caulry were unlucky then as a wonderful strike by Fitzpatrick rattled back off the post. At this stage, our lads had to settle for a point. Tyrrellspass put two back between the sides once again as the last five minutes of play approached. Points from Donoghue and Liam Doyle left it level pegging then as pressure began to mount. Tyrrellspass received a lifeline then in the form of a free in which their no.10 tapped over to allow them to sneak the win late in the game.
Team & Scorers: Cillian Nagle, Ciaran Gaynor, Johnny Buckley, Luke Hamilton, Rory Mullins, Darren Hynds, Dean Burns, Alan Lynam, Olan Healy, Alan Daly, Liam Malynn (0-12, 5f, 3 2pt.f), Will Buckley, Nicky Killane (0-1), Mark Fitzpatrick (0-2), Adam Donoghue (1-2)

SFC Round 3
Caulry 2-16
Tang 1-13
Our seniors fought back from a six point deficit at the start of the second half to come out on top when they battled it out against Tang in Round 3 of the SFC on Sunday afternoon last.
Scores were slow to come by in the opening minutes of the first half as the sides traded a myriad of wides, with the first score of the game coming after eleven minutes in the form of a Tang free. The opposition had added two more points from play before we got off the mark: doing so on the 18th minute when Conor McCormack converted a two-point free. Tang extended their lead then when a fumble in front of our goal resulted in the ball ending up in the back of the net. The maroon and white side followed this up with a point from play on the 20th minute. McCormack tapped over another free then, but this was cancelled out by a Tang point. It took our lads twenty-seven minutes to register a score from play, this from the boot of Senan Baker. The sides saw out the half by sharing four scores: Tang added a two-point free and point from play while McCormack accounted for our two points (one from a free and one from play). This left the scoreboard reading 1-8 to 0-6 at the halftime whistle.
Tang extended their lead to six as they fisted over the first point of the second half. McCormack’s two-point free reduced the gap back to four. McCormack picked out Luke Buckley then with a super pin-point pass and the later made no mistake in finding the back of the next to leave the narrowest of margins between the sides. Two minutes later, our lads lead by two after McCormack sent over a fantastic two-pointer from play before Buckley split the posts after a Colin Murphy’s shot was saved. The sides shared 0-4 then with Buckley and Baker adding our points. Stephen Connolly put five between the sides on the 49th minute when he raised a green flag (Oisín Shortall was the man who set up this score after intercepting a Tang attack). Tang kicked a free then but Baker replied in style with a fine two-pointer from play. Before the fulltime whistle, the sides shared two placed balls (Tang converted a 45 while McCormack tapped over a routine free) to secure our second brace of points for his year’s campaign.
Team & Scorers: Jack Connaughton, Glenn Carolan, Kevin Maguire, Oisín Shortall, Sean Murphy, Damien Dolan, Eoghan Grennan, Stephen Connolly (1-0), Tadgh Baker, Sean Clinton, Conor McCormack (0-10, 5f, 1 3pt.), Shane Lawless, Luke Buckley (1-2), Alan Malynn, Senan Baker (0-4, 1 2pt.)
Subs: Colin Murphy for Tadgh Baker, Tiarnán O’Donovan for Alan Malynn
