Fe 12 South-East Football
Carrigaline 2 (5-8) V St.Finbarrs (1-2)
Carrigaline 2 travelled to the Barrs last Friday, and with both teams making good use of their full panels played a good game of football. The Carrigaline lads with slightly stronger forwards led from the start, with good work from Conor Cremin and Stephen Ahern. The defence was also strong, where Michael McIntyre and Ciaran O’Reilly played well. A well taken penalty from Stephen Brophy put the game beyond reach, both teams deserve great credit for their efforts.

Fe 12B City Football
Carrigaline1 3-8
White’s Cross 2-1
Last Friday, Carrigaline1 played White’s Cross in the City football league. They finished comfortable winners in the end, but it took them a while to get going. For some reason Carrigaline started the game in a sloppy fashion, making many unforced errors. In a low scoring match, the teams went in at level pegging at the break.
Carrigaline came out with their “A” game in the second half and soon put a flurry of scores on the board. Pauraic Conway, Luke O’Hanlon and Cian O’Flynn all found the net. Some fine points were scored by Chris Allen, Jack Glennon, Gary O’Mahony and Richard Aherne. Others to impress on the night were Martin Molloy, Ciaran Malone and Chris Naughton.

Fe 12B Football
Carrigaline 4-7
Mayfield 3-2
Last Saturday, on a beautiful sunny afternoon, Carrigaline1 took on Mayfield at the City venue . The conditions were perfect for football and both teams produced an entertaining contest that was enjoyed by all. Mayfield started the scoring with a well taken goal, that gave our goalkeeper no chance. Carrigaline responded in the best way possible by playing positive flowing football and putting scores on the board. Pauraic Conway, Alan Cooney, Thomas Kent and Luke O’Hanlon all scored goals in the first half. Carrigline also tagged on 4 points to leave them in a commanding position at the break, on a score line of 4-4 to 1-0.
Mayfield came out firing on all cylinders in the second half and really put it up to Carrigaline with a scoring run of their own. Carrigaline lifted their game in response, and only a fantastic save from the Mayfield’s keeper prevented Carrig from finding the net. Cian O’Flynn and Chris Allen impressed with their stylish play. Morgan and Luke O’Hanlon showed commitment and determination, when it was most needed, with Luke taking many fine scores. Peter Bresnan stuck to his task admirably also and Carrigaline won out in the end with a score line of 4-7 to 3-2.

FÉ 13 City Hurling
Carrigaline 4-3 Na Piarsaigh 7-3
Carrigaline’s under 13’s had their first outing last Wednesday, against Na Piarsaigh in the Fé 13 City Hurling. A trip to Na Piarsaigh always promises to be a tough encounter and this was no exception. The conditions, while windy, were very good and the sun shone throughout making it difficult at times for the players to see the sliothar approaching. Na Piarsaigh opened with a flurry and took early control of the game with 3 well taken scores, 2 goals and a point. However, the Carrigaline lads were up to the task and once they started to play as a team they converted the next 4 scores. Kaelan Spillane scored 1-1 and Wayne Bruton and Oisin Finn added goals of their own. Our lads were playing some great flowing hurling. Just on half time, Na Piarsaigh scored an easy goal and the sides came in level at half time.
The second half began with Na Piarsaigh scoring 1-1 in quick succession. They looked unstoppable. However, the Carrig lads were fighting hard to come back, and after Dyalan O’Keeffe scored a point and Wayne Bruton rattled the Na Piarsaigh net for his second goal, the game was on. Oisin Finn added a marvellous point for Carrigaline and our lads looked like they were back on track. Then against the run of play, Na Piarsaigh scored another easy goal and for some reason our lads heads dropped. Na Piarsaigh took advantage of this lull in the Carrigaline play to add another 2 goals and run out eventual winners by 7-3 to 4-3. This was a great display by our lads for their first outing in the year.

FÉ 14B South East Football
Carrigaline(2) 2-5 Kinsale 1-15
Carrigaline’s Fé 14B footballers played Kinsale in the South East league last Friday. Our lads started the game very promisingly and were playing some fine football. However, Kinsale were very strong, particularly at centre back and mid-field and began to dominate proceedings. At half time the game seemed over with the score line 1-7 to
0-1 for Kinsale. Despite the score line, our young team were playing some magnificent passing football, but were failing with the final pass in front of goal.
The second half saw a mighty spirited performance from this team. Goals by David Drake and Eoin Brennan and points by Stephen Gorman, Wayne Bruton, Shane O’Halloran and Eoin Brennan saw Carrigaline win the second half by 2 points, but overall they lost the game by 7 points.
Oisin Finn played a real captain’s part with an outstanding display of football at full back. He was ably assisted by Eric Callanan and Shane O’Halloran. Ian O’Halloran in goal was a real gem. David Spillane at centre back gave an awesome display of football, while Dylan O’Keeffe and Eoin Brennan played their best football this year in the second half. All of the other players were outstanding and gave their most gutsy performance this year, while playing some magnificent football as well.
Team:
I.O’Halloran, M.Dwane, O.Finn, S.O’Halloran, E.Callanan, D.Spillane, L.O’Regan, S.Conlon, W.Bruton, D.O’Keeffe, D.Drake, S.O’Gorman, E.Brennan, P.McGrath, R.Duggan.
Fe 12B South East
Carrigaline 1 played Kinsale in a keenly contested South-East football match, on Monday last. Carrigaline built up a 4 point lead towards the end of the first half, caught by a late Kinsale goal. Robert O’Shea and Alan Cooney grabbed 2 a piece, with Cian O’Flynn and Luke O’Hanlon, also getting on the scoreboard. The half time score of 0-6 to 1-2 didn’t reflect fully the Carrigaline possession in the first half.
Carrigaline opened the second half with 3 unanswered points, but allowed Kinsale back into it with another goal. The Owenabue side had to dig deep to respond, but weren’t found wanting with Robert O’Shea again coming up trumps, finding some fine scores, ably assisted by Cian O’Flynn, Alan Cooney and Chris Allen. Content to take the scores as they came, Carrigaline managed to put a chink of daylight between themselves and Kinsale, who battled hard to the end. The final score of 0-14 to 2-2 made the Carrig lads work for their victory.
Squad: Stephen O’Flynn, Chris Naughton, Ciaran Malone, Anthony O’Reilly, Chris Allen, Morgan O’Hanlon, Killian McSweeney, Robert O’Shea, Richard Allen, Alan Cooney, Luke O’’Hanlon, Cian O’Flynn, Michael O’Grady, Thomas Kent, Stephen O’Mullane, Diarmuid Hickey, Paudraic Conway, Stephen Caffery, Cormac Conway, Robert Allen, Martin Molloy, Jack Glannon, Peter Bresnan, Gary O’Mahony.
