On Saturday last Caulry travelled to Castletown, Co Meath to take part in a Feile Blitz. Three other teams were involved in the blitz and first up for Caulry were Wicklow team Knockananna. This was a tough opener for the Caulry lads and they were slow to get going, giving the opposition a significant lead, however the Caulry lads eventually got into their rhythm and went in two points behind at the break, 3-04 to 3-02 .Upon resumption both teams upped their game and exchanged some excellent scores but on the final whistle Knockananna edged it by the minimum of margins on a score line of 6-05 to 6-04.

Next up for Caulry was the local team of Castletown. Once again two evenly matched teams went to battle. The first half was a goal fest with Castletown ahead at the break, 5-01 to 4-03. In the second half Caulry tightened up their defence only conceding one point, whilst scoring 2-02 and justly coming out on top at the final whistle.

The final game for Caulry was against Meath team Moynalty. This was a close affair with both teams level at the break, and Caulry only pulling away in the final five minutes with a brace of goals sealing a good win on a score line of 3-05 to 1-06.

This was a great day for the Caulry lads, with all players getting good game time and gelling well together. Caulry are due to play Shandonagh away next Thursday July 4th in the Championship.
