Minor Championship

Caulry 3-8

Rosemount/Castledaly 1-15

Caulry and Rosemount/Castledaly served up an exciting encounter in the local park on Friday evening last where just one point separated the well-matched sides on a scoreline of 1-15 to 3-8.

The opposition hit the ground running with two points-from-play. A pointed-free from Conor McCormack got our lads off the mark on the 9^th minute. Jack Bradbury Hughes levelled the game as he tapped over another fine free. However, the Rosemount/Castledaly boys worked hard , scoring an unanswered four points by the quarter-hour mark. Our defence held strong with Charlie Parker and Darren Hynds valiant in their endeavours as point from Bradbury Hughes and Cialan Dollard narrowed the deficit. Caulry went in front on the 29^th minute after a superb pass from Parker found Dollard who rattled the back of the opposition’s net to leave Caulry leading 1-4 to 0-6 at the interval.

On the resumption, two quick frees from McCormack left three points the margin. However, this lead was short-lived as the opposition tapped over three unanswered points. Lee Guinan Malone and Kevin O’Flaherty defended well as a good pass from Emmet Nally enabled Bradbury Hughes to hit the back of the Rosemount net on the 39^th minute. The opposition dug deep and began to dominate proceedings, scoring 0-5 in quick succession. McCormack added to the scoring tally to reduce the deficit to just one point by the 50^th minute. Rosemount/Castledaly then hit the back of the Caulry net. However, our lads worked tirelessly as some good combined teamwork from McCormack and Nally saw Matthew Nally send the ball to the back of the opposition’s net. The teams traded scores late in the half, with Emmet Nally on target, to leave Caulry trailing by the narrowest of margins at the fulltime whistle. With this defeat, our lads finish second in their group, qualifying for a quarter-final in the coming weeks.

Junior Championship

Caulry 1-5

Rosemount 1-14

In very poor, slippery conditions on Sunday evening last, our junior side bowed out of this year’s JFC with a nine-point defeat to Rosemount.

Caulry were first off the mark with a pointed-free from Alan Carroll. Rosemount soon found their feet with two quick scores. A good pass from Jack Connaughton found Alan Carroll who rattled the opposition’s net on the 12^th minute. However, the Rosemount lads worked hard and scored 1-4 in quick succession. Some superb defending from Keith McMenamin and Pat Buckley enabled Carroll to narrow the deficit. The teams traded scores late in the half with Michael Carroll on target for Caulry to leave the scoreboard reading 1-7 to 1-3 at the halftime whistle.

After the break, our lads seemed to sit back as the opposition began to dominate proceedings. The Rosemount lads tapped over a brace of points to build up a commanding lead of 1-10 to 1-3 by the 37^th minute. Cillian Nagle brought off a good save in goals as the rebound was tapped over the bar on the 48^th minute. Charlie Parker and Eoin Donohoe played patches of fine football while substitute Jay Walker worked well when introduced. Caulry’s first score of the second half came on the 58^th minute as Stephen Brookes kicked a fine point-from-play. Brookes slotted over another point late in the half. Ultimately, the Rosemount lads proved to be the hungrier side on the evening and ran out winners on a scoreline of 1-14 to 1-5.
