U16 Championship Division 1

Caulry 3-10

Millmore Gaels 0-13

Fresh from their recent league success, Caulry welcomed Millmore Gaels to our grounds on Monday last. On a drizzly breezy evening it was the visitors aided by the breeze, who were first to open the scoring. However, the greater teamwork of the home side which was evident throughout, produced a flowing move resulting in our first goal. The teams continued to trade points in a tit for tat first half. However, another superbly executed goal by Adam Donoghue, gave Caulry a six point lead going into the break, 2-7 to 0-7.

The Ballymore-Milltown combination outfit sought about quickly establishing their supremacy on the changeover with a succession of points. With their lead whittled down to a single point, the men in red needed to respond. Not for the first time this year it was Sean Fox who led the charge. Sean’s ability to win primary possession, win turnovers in addition to surging runs allowed him to take over the game in a crucial period for his team. This led to the creation of an unanswered 1-2 and effectively sealed the contest for his team and an important opening round victory. While not overall our best display of the year, there were nevertheless fine performances throughout the field. Once again, James Clavin’s ability to keep a clean sheet was a major difference, with a number of low shots and secure high fielding crucial to the win. Jack Sheehan, Eoin Shortall, Zach Nolan were solid, with Adam Mullins and Dylan Lowry outstanding defensively, and with Darren Browne surged forward on numerous occasions to set up attacks. Colin Murphy and Neil Clinton, once again showed their county credentials in addition to scoring two monstrous points. Thomas Dunning again led the attack with vision, while Liam Doyle’s ability to move around the various positions to good effect is a lethal weapon for his team. His expertly timed flicked goal also showed great awareness. Adam Donoghue’s scoring prowess, and his lightening speed once again proved too much for the opposition, with Glenn Carolan, Paddy McHugh, Daniel Buckley and Ciaran Geoghegan also making important contributions. Next up for Caulry in this four team group, is Lilliput Gaels away.
