J2FC Final
Caulry 0-9
St. Mary’s Rochfortbridge 0-7
Our second team were crowned Junior 2 Football Champions after a hard-fought win over St. Mary’s Rochfortbridge in dire conditions in The Downs on Saturday afternoon last.
The swirling wind and persistent rain favoured neither side throughout the game as the first attempt of a score went wide (this from St. Mary’s). Alan Lynam opened the scoring account then after five minutes following a patient build up of play. St. Mary’s got off the mark three minutes later as they worked a point from a free. Roan Sweeney was next up to take a score, stepping just inside the 40m arc and sending over a fine point from play. Our lads owned the majority of the following possession, although we failed to put it on the scoreboard due to the worsening weather conditions. The next score of the game came on the 17th minute when the Rochfortbridge side levelled the match once again. A myriad of scoring chances went astray for our lads as St. Mary’s took the lead for the first time in the game on the 27th minute when they converted a free. This was short-lived though as a superb long-range effort from Liam Malynn curled over the bar as this two-point score reinstated our lead. Aaron Muphy, who travelled the field throughout the game, dispossessed St. Mary’s in attack as Alan Daly finished off this move with a point from play to give our lads a two-point advantage at the break.
Our lads doubled the margins almost immediately after the restart when Thomas Dunning raised our second orange flag of the game. St. Mary’s kicked consecutive points on the 38th and 44th minutes to bring the gap back to two. During this period of the game, our lads had the chance to put the game to bed with two goal opportunities which ultimately went wide. Dean Burns done well when introduced as he kicked a vital point on the 51st minute to keep the scoreboard ticking over (the build-up of this score can be accredited to good combined teamwork by Dunning and Malynn). St. Mary’s always kept in touching distance as a short-range free left just two points between the sides once again. Despite struggling to get scores on the board, our lads were at time the better side and when their backs were to the wall, they dug deep and sought out the necessary scores. One such score coming on the 57th minute from the boot of Dunning (this time Daniel Lynam and Malynn were the key instigators of this move). The Rochfortbridge side had a short period of dominance in the closing stages of the game, but our defence held strong as the opposition got just one score away ensuring our lads came away with the win.
A massive congratulations to the team and their management of Philip Rainey, Adam Donoghue, Mark Fitzpatrick, James Hickey and Conor Muldoon.

Girls Minor Championship Semi Final
Caulry 5-11
Loughnavalley 1-9
Our minor girls secured themselves a county final spot when they defeated Loughnavalley in blustery conditions in the park on Sunday morning last.
Playing with the strong breeze at their backs in the first half, our girls found scores a lot easier to come by as they racked up an impressive tally of 2-6 in the opening quarter: Kelly Lynam was the goal scorer on both occasions while Erin O’Faolain, Karrissa Burns, Lynam and Grace Shortall took their points well. It took the visitors the first quarter to come to terms with the weather conditions, but when they did, they did so in style as an unanswered 1-5 brought them right back into the contest. Points from Lynam and Amelia Nally before half time stretched our lead to six.
Playing against the breeze in the second half didn’t phase our girls one bit as Shortall and Ellie Buckley fired home two goals straight from the restart. Both defences persevered throughout the second half and as a result, the rate of scoring slowed. Seven points was added in total in the second half, with just two of these for Caulry (Lynam, a free and Aoife McDermott from play). A late goal from McDermott sealed the win and sends our girls into the county final next weekend. Fixture TBC on our social media.
