U17 League
Caulry
1-8
Tubberclair 5-9
Our U17s were defeated by a strong Tubberclair side in their latest league fixture.
The visitors to the park burst out of the tracks and had an impressive tally of 3-1 notched up before our lads got going. It was Aaron Murphy who kicked our first score of the game 25 minutes in. Lee Corcoran followed with a free minutes later. Simon O’Grady then gave Caulry a more respectable looking score when he riffled the back of the Tubberclair net after combining with Corcoran. The last score of the half came from the boot of Dean Martin as this saw Caulry trail 3-1 to 1-3 at the break.
Both sides exchanged a wide early in the second half before Tubberclair reopened the scoring account with a point on the 32nd minute. Our lads were responsible for the next four scoring chances, only two of which we managed to convert. These from Martin, a pointed-mark and Corcoran, a pointed-free. Another Corcoran free was sandwiched between similar scores for the Tubberclair lads. The visitors were much more clinical up front, adding 2-4 to our 0-2 in the closing minutes of the game to run out comfortable winners.

Division 2 ACFL
Caulry
0-14
Tubberclair 0-12
Caulry and Tubberclair served up an entertaining battle on Saturday evening last when the sides met for their latest Division 2 ACFL fixture.
The sides were on par with one another early on, exchanging similar scores. Tubberclair opened the scoring account with a pointed-free, before Conor McCormack levelled the game in similar fashion on the 3rd minute. The Tubberclair centre-half forward then added a point from play, before our no. 11 added his second of the game. Our lads applied pressure on the short Tubberclair kickout and this set Colin Murphy up for a point on the 8th minute. Scores from Shane Lawless and Oisín Shortall had tripled our lead by the 12th minute. Our lads had a chance to extend this lead, but failed to do so as a passage of direct play enabled the homeside to draw one back. Similar to the opening minutes of the game, the teams matched one another for scores. A Tubberclair free was cancelled out at the other end of the field by McCormack, before Tiarnán O’Donovan’s score from play was negated after the opposition worked the ball from a free. However, Lawless managed to reinstate our three-point lead late in the half as he kicked scores either side of the homeside’s last point to see the scoreboard read 0-9 to 0-6 at the break.
Tubberclair burst out of the tracks in the second half, kicking two scores to reduce the gap to one. A trio of chances went astray for Caulry as our opening point of the half came from a McCormack free on the 37th minute. Both sides were guilty of missing scores during the following minutes. A point from Murphy preceded a couplet of Tubberclair points to give our lads a one-point lead heading into the final quarter. Scores at this point in the game were slow to come by as the tally of wides for either side grew. Cillian Nagle done well when put under pressure on the 50th minute. McCormack, who was involved in a lot of play throughout, fielded the ball well as he set Murphy up for a score on the 55th minute. Tubberclair kept in touching distance with another free, but the Caulry lads dug deep as scores from Damien Dolan and Murphy ensured our lads ran out winners with two points to spare.
Team & Scorers: Cillian Nagle, Olan Healy, Tom Cloonan, Eoin Shortall, Tadgh Baker, Damien Dolan (0-1), Harry Stuart Trainor, Sean Murphy, Sean Fox, Tiarnán O’Donovan (0-1), Conor McCormack (0-4, 3f), Shane Lawless (0-3), Oisín Shortall (0-1), Colin Murphy (0-4), Alan Malynn

Division 4 ACFL
Caulry
1-12
The Downs 1-10
Our juniors overcame The Downs in the closing stages of their Round 7 Division 4 ACFL game on Sunday morning last in the park.
Both sides were slow to settle, missing numerous chances. The Downs then got the opening score on the 4th minute, but this was followed almost immediately by a point from Liam Malynn at the other end of the field. Despite having a lot of the possession, our lads failed to push on only adding only two points from the boots of Mark Fitzpatrick and Paul Hogan. The Downs sent a dangerous ball in towards the Caulry goal on the 12th minute. Harry Hughes done well to diffuse this threat, knocking the ball out for a ‘45’ which enabled the opposition to draw one back. Hughes then got a score of this own on the 15th minute. However, this was closely followed by two unanswered points for the men in black and amber to level the game. A good passage of play through Paul Hogan and Shane Lawless was finished over the bar by Brian Carroll. Once again, the opposition sauntered down the field and tapped over the equaliser. The game continued on this tit-for-tat basis with The Downs closely following every Caulry move. Scores from Malynn and Hughes eventually widened the gap to two. But, no sooner had this two-point extension happened when the scoreline was completely overturned as The Downs raced straight down the field and riffled the back of the Caulry net. Paul Hogan added the last score of the half to level the game at the interval.
A very different second half was in store as The Downs dominated much of the play and accounted for all the scores for the majority of the half. They began by edging in front on the 33rd minute with a point from play. Ciaran Allen and Ruiari Casey brought off a double save on the 45th minute as the visitors worked the ball for a score from the resulting ‘45’. The Downs had extended their lead to four by the time our lads got motoring. The Caulry forwards waited until the final 10 minutes to get going, but when they did, they done so in style. Two frees from Liam Malynn reduced the gap to two going into stoppage time. Pressure was on as Caulry sent ball after ball into the forward-line but to no avail. Eventually substitute Conor Hynes struck lucky when was on the receiving end of a pass from Hughes and he booted the ball over the bar to reduce the gap to one. Our lads pounced on the following kickout and Malynn launched a dangerous ball into our full forward line. A fouled was committed and a penalty was awarded. Malynn took to the stage and he riffled the ball in low and left to edge Caulry in front just in the nick of time as the ref signalled for fulltime.
Team & Scorers: Ruiari Casey, Ciaran Allen, Darren Hynds, Brendan McCormack, Alan Daly, Neil Clinton, Harry Hughes (0-2), Alan Fitzpatrick, Brian Carroll (0-1), Will Buckley, Shane Lawless, Nicky Killane, Paul Hogan (0-2), Mark Fitzpatrick (0-1), Liam Malynn (1-5, 3f)
Subs: Hugh Allen for Shane Lawless, Oisín Shortall for Will Buckley, Conor Hynes (0-1) for Nicky Killan
