Under 14’s Progress in Feile
The under 14’s followed up their success over Sarsfields in the Hurling with an easy win over Macroom in the Football competition at Carrigaline on Sunday last. In a game in which the full panel made an important contribution Carrig were never in danger and an avalanche of first-half scores put the game well out of Macroom’s reach.
In that first period Michael Lynch, Robert O Shea, Cillian McSweeney, Jamie Kind, Dylan O Brien, Michael O Grady and David Drinan all got in on the scoring act while the Carrig defence was rarely troubled by the visitors attack.

Under 11 Football
Bishopstown 3-7 Carrigaline 5-10
On Saturday last Carrig travelled to Bishopstown to take on the home side in the City league and following a great game came out on top on a 5-10 to 3-7 scoreline.
As both teams had 19 players it was agreed with Bishopstown to play 19-a-side. This worked well and it meant that all players played a full game. Carrigaline played with the breeze in the first half and dominated completely leading on a score of 4-9 to 1-0 at half-time. Bishopstwon picked up in the second half and it was much more evenly contested. Players to stand out for Carrigaline were Matthew O Reilly, Brian Coakley, Darragh Buckley and Kieran Kavanagh

Courcey Rvs 5-6 Carrigaline 2-5
They followed up on Sunday morning with a trip to Ballinspittle to take on Courcey Rovers in the SE Under 12 C league, but lost out on a 5-6 to 2-5 scoreline. They trailed 5-3 to 1-1 at the interval but made a brave second-half comeback.
The side was somewhat depleted with only 16 players present. However they gave a very good account of themselves against a physically stronger Courceys side. Carrigaline played against the breeze in the first half and fell behind as Courceys scored a number of goals. The half-time score was Courceys 5-3 Carrigaline 1-1. Carrigaline battled well in the second half and gave a much better account of themselves scoring 1-4, with a great goal from Mattew O’ Reilly.

Under 12 Football
They took on Ballinhassig on Saturday last in a SE league game at Carrigaline and after a great game lost narrowly by four points.
City Under 13 Hurling
Eire Og 3-6 Carrigaline 3-6
This was a thrilling game throughout with Eire Og snatching a draw in the dying seconds with an equalising goal. Carrig’s goalscorers were Anthony O Donnell, David O Donovan and Kevin Harrington. David Healy, making his debut in goal, had an excellent game. Others to shine in a great team performance were Robert Foster, Darren Murphy David Canty and captain, Jamie Depuis.
The under 13’s also took on Crosshaven in the SE under-14 C football league but lost out to a stronger side on a 2-7 to 8-6 scoreline.
Under 15 Football
Ballygarvan 1-3 Carrigaline 2-12
The under 15’s travelled to Ballygarvan on Wednesday last to take on the home side in the SE Under 16 C league and came away with a well-merited victory.
Ballygarvan came out of the blocks quicker and scored two early points. Carrigaline were a bit off the pace in the early stages but Podge Conway, D Hickey and S Caffery pulled them out of their slumber. The half time score of 1.2 to 1.5 reflected the even nature of the contest. Carrig didn’t repeat their mistake of the first half and started better in the second period, although they were a bit wasteful in front of goal in the early stages. With C Malone and C Keating providing a fine foundation at the back Carrig wrestled control of the game from Ballygarvan. S Caffery’s tigerish play in the second period was a feature of the game as was the point taking ability of Gazza O Mahony. Doc O Callaghan was always a danger around the goal and Carrig ran out comfortable winners in the end.
Under 16 Football
Two victories were recorded during the past week, over Nemo in the City league and over Ballinhassig in the SE league.
Nemo 1-7 Carrigaline 0-15
Carrigaline travelled to Trabeg to take on Nemo on Tuesday April 10th.Carrig gave a brilliant display of football in the first half and led by six points at half-time. Following the sending-off of a Carrigaline player early in the second half Nemo began to force the pace. Their attacks were repulsed by an outstanding defence in which goalkeeper, Sean Mellett and the half-back trio of David Spillane, Cian Barry and Chris Allen were superb. Kaelan Spillane, Eoin Kavanagh and Oisin Finn were excellent all through in a great team display.
Carrigaline 4-12 Ballinhassig 0-4
On the following evening Ballinhassig were the visitors in the SE league. David Drake gave a brilliant performance in this game to maintain Carrig’s unbeaten record in the Carrigdhoun league. There were also some outstanding displays from a number of the younger players on the team. Corner-forwards Anthony O Reilly and Killian O Mahony gave the Ballinhassig full-back line a torrid time and took some fine scores over the hour.
