U16 Championship
Caulry 2-9
Shandonagh
4-4
Caulry travelled to Shandonagh on Monday week last for the opening round
of this year’s Under 16 championship. On a beautiful summer’s evening, both
sides had chances in the early exchanges, before the home side pointed. A well
worked passing movement from our lads, saw Thomas Dunning swivel to equalise.
With Glenn Carolan back to his best form at full back and well flanked by
corner men, Colm Shortall and Luke Hamilton, we repelled the opposition.
Unfortunately for us we failed to make our attacks stick, and turn over off
some cheap possession put us under a period of sustained pressure, where we
conceded an unanswered 3-3. Our depleted forces suffered further when Rory
Mullins suffered an injury and, was forced to swap places with goalkeeper,
James Clavin. As the half worn on, Luke Buckley proving was a good fulcrum in
attack, with good support from Adam Donoghue and Shane Hynes, Luke eventually
crashed the ball to the net. Luke and Adam followed up with two points, and
suddenly the half time deficit did not look so daunting, 3-4 to 1-3.
On the changeover, Thomas Dunning and Adam Donoghue took control of the
midfield area with high fetching and defence bursting runs. With the attaching
support of half backs, Ciaran Gaynor, Zach Nolan and the outstanding, Daniel
Buckley we completely dominated the second half. A great finish from keeper
turned poacher, James Clavin added momentum. Luke Buckley was continuing to
prove a thorn in the home, and with Alan Malynn and Leroy Coughlan growing into
the contest, it only looked a matter of time, despite conceding a breakaway
goal against the run of play. A similar type point for the home side left two
points in it with clock in red. A final assault resulted in a twenty metre free
in.
Referee, Barry Kelly issued last play call. Adam Donoghue sent a powerful
shot crashing off the crossbar and the final whistle sounded much to the
delight of the home side and dejection of the Caulry lads.

U14 Championship
Caulry 1-11
Shandonagh
5-11
Our U14 boys
suffered a second defeat in their championship campaign on Thursday evening
last when they played host to Shandonagh.
Our boys
started the game well with Senan Baker opening the scoring tally after a superb
pass from James Buckley. Shandonagh drew level on the 6th minute
after a good save from Ruairi Casey meant they had to settle for a point. The
Caulry lads worked well as Alan Malynn and Shane Lawless kicked the next two
scores of the game. A pointed-free for the opposition kept them in touch by the
quarter-hour mark. Alan Lynam defended well as a point from Paul Hogan left
just two points the margins. However, Shandonagh battled hard and took the lead
after a well-taken goal on the 18th minute. Sean Murphy and Tom
Cloonan defended well as Casey brought off another good save. The teams traded
scores with Malynn tapping over another pointed-free. Some good combined
teamwork from Malynn and Cloonan enabled Hogan to rattle the back of the
opposition’s net just before halftime to leave Caulry leading 1-5 to 1-4 at the
break.
The
Shandonagh boys raced out of the tracks in the second half with a quick goal to
put their noes in front. Malynn pointed to reduce the deficit. However,
Shandonagh pushed on kicking a range of points. Despite some good work from
Oisin Shortall and Shane Lawless, our boys struggled to register a score in the
second half. A goal for Shandonagh on the 42nd minute left six
points between the sides. The game then went on a point-for-point basis with
Andrew Stuart Trainor and Malynn on target. The Shandonagh boys proved too
strong for our lads as they scored an unanswered 2-2 in quick succession. James
Buckley and Shandonagh pointed late in the half which left Caulry trailing 5-11
to 1-11 at the fulltime whistle.

Senior Championship Round 1
Caulry 0-15
The Downs
1-13
Caulry went
down by the narrowest of margins on Saturday evening last in their opening game
of this year’s SFC in Cusack Park.
Despite the
poor, slippery conditions, our lads raced out of the tracks with a point from
Emmet Nally after some good work from John Maguire and Damien Dolan. The Downs
missed an early goal opportunity and drew level on the 3rd minute
with a fine point of their own. A fisted effort from Gary Flanagan put Caulry’s
noses in front by the 5th minute. Our lads were unlucky up front,
missing some shots on goal as Nally pointed to leave two points between the
sides. Alan Fitzpatrick fielded well as Harry Hughes sent over a fine point on
the 13th minute. Despite some good defending from Sean Clinton and
Eoin Fox, The Downs pointed on the quarter-hour mark to reduce the deficit.
Flanagan was denied a goal on the 18th minute as a fine point for
the opposition left just one point the margin. The game went on a
point-for-point basis with Conor McCormack and Andy O’Sullivan on target for
Caulry. Cillian Nagle brought off a good save in goals as a late point from
Damien Dolan left Caulry leading 0-7 to 0-5 at the interval.
Our lads got
off to a great start early in the second half with a superb point from Dolan
inside the opening 20 seconds. However, The Downs responded well with a quick
score of their own. Nally pointed to stretch Caulry’s lead as O’Sullivan was
unlucky to miss another shot on goal. A fine point from Robbie Hickey left four
points between the sides. Our lads began to push on as O’Sullivan tapped over
another pointed-free. Declan Donohoe defended well as some trojan efforts from
Nally found Hughes who registered his second point of the game. The Maguire
brothers combined well as the ball was brilliantly worked up the field and
tapped over the bar by Hickey on the 39th minute. Another fine score
from Hughes left Caulry leading by eight points with a long 20 minutes to be
played. The Downs drew one back on the 41st minute as our lads
seemed to sit back and let the opposition back into the game. The all-important
score of the match came on the 44th minute as The Downs rattled the
back of the Caulry net to leave just four points between the sides. The Downs
men fought hard, kicking four unanswered points to draw level on the 54th
minute. McCormack slotted over a pointed-free to edge Caulry in front. However,
The Downs showed a never-say-die attitude as they dug deep, kicking two late
points. Ultimately, our lads played patches of fine football and were unlucky
to be edged out on a scoreline of 1-13 to 0-15.
