On Saturday evening, Division 2 League champions took on local rivals Sean O’Mahony’s in the Senior Championship semi final. The Gaels were aiming to go one better than their last semi final appearance two years ago and make a senior final for the first time in over 20 years while the Sean where looking to appear in successive finals following their defeat in last years final to St Patrick’s.

The O’Mahony’s started better of the two teams and following an opening wide from number 15, 4 successive points for the point road team put them into an early lead. At the other end of the field, the Gaels were struggling to make an impact on the scoreboard before Gerard McSorley and Sean McCann got the Rampart team off the mark with 2 successive points. The first real goal threat arrived for the O’Mahony’s when a free from Conor Finnegan dropped short and slipped through McCann’s hands and hit the crossbar before dropping into the Gaels square where it was cleared by David McComish. Gaels suffered a blow at this stage with midfielder James Stewart having to retire due to an injury to his shoulder following a heavy collision. Finnegan meanwhile made no mistake with his next effort but Jason Clarke opened his account for the evening through a free of his own. Full forward Conor Crawley rose highest to punch a dangerous dropping ball over the bar to re-open the O’Mahony’s 3 point lead before another Finnegan free left the Point Road side 4 ahead. Clarke reduced the deficit through his second free to leave the scores at 0-7 to 0-4 in favour of the Division 1 side. The Gaels while only 3 behind at the break, hit 5 wides and dropped 5 short in the opening period compared to their opponents who scored 7 out of 10 efforts in the same period.

The second half saw McCann and the dangerous Ben McLaughlin exchange opening scores of the half before Stephen Kilcoyne scored his first to put 4 in it on 45 minutes. Gaels substitute Eanna McArdle pointed for the Gaels on before McLaughlin again scored to leave 4 in it with 9 minutes left. A race of points from McArdle and Derek Crilly lifted the Gaels hopes and brought the game back to a 2 point match with 3 minutes left. The Gaels were trying their hardest to break down a stubborn O’Mahony’s defence but couldn’t muster the goal chance they craved. 2 quick points for Sean’s from Finnegan and Stephen Fisher finally broke the Gaels hearts as they fell to 4 behind with only 1 minute left. The Gaels kept pushing forward and the industrious Shane Rice pointed to leave a goal in it but the O’Mahony’s won the resultant kick-out and with that, Stephen Murphy brought a hard fought game to an end. The O’Mahony’s continue their quest for a first senior championship in two weeks tome while the Gaels will be left ruing a series of wides and dropped shots which made the difference in the end, only scoring 10 out of 28 efforts. In comparison to their opponents who scored 12 out of 20 efforts, their could be no complaints from the Ramparts side.

Gaels: Paul Burke, Eamonn Kenny, David McComish, Jamie Faulkner, Peter McGinnity, Derek Crilly (0-1), David Moloney, James Stewart, Sean McCann (0-2), Niall Hearty, Gerard McSorley (0-1), Shane Rice (0-1), Errol Boyle, Sean Fee, Jason Clarke (0-2)

SFC Quarter Final V Blues

On Thursday night, Dundalk Gaels took on perennial Championship opponents the Newtown Blues, Louth’s most successful club, in a re-fixed Quarter Final of the Senior Championship. A minute’s silence was observed by all in attendance in respect of the recent death of Marian McGinn, mother of Blues captain Hugh and physio Vicki.
The Gael’s started brightest and the opening 3 scores of the game came from the Dundalk men. Jason Clarkes two points were separated by one from team captain Derek Crilly. The Blues at this stage had hit 3 wides before they finally got off the mark with one apiece from Conor Brannigan and Kieran Downey. David Moloney responded for the Gaels before 2 points from the Drogheda men in quick succession levelled the game for the first time with 16 minutes gone in the first half. The first real goal scare came following a Gerard McSorley effort which dropped short and was tipped by the Blues keeper towards the back post before the Blues defence gathered the ball ahead of the onrushing Errol Boyle. The Blues went ahead through Downey before Crilly’s second of the half brought the Gaels level again. A period of dominance for the last 10 minutes then began for the favourites who scored 4 points in succession the final point being an own point by Jamie Faulkner who fisted the ball over the bar following a long ball in by the Blues midfield. This period also saw the first yellow cards of the game produced with one a piece to either side. The Blues went in ahead at half time by 4 and were the more efficient in front of goals having not missed an effort since their 3rd wide early on with 8 consecutive successful scores along with Faulkner’s effort.
From the restart the Blues won the throw in and launched a dangerous ball into the Gaels square which veteran goalkeeper Paul Burke did well to gather. The opening score of the second half came via the boot of Clarke following a booming 45 before Colm Judge quickly responded for the Blues. McSorley finally got off the mark with his first successful effort of the game followed by a Sean Fee point to leave the Gaels behind by 2 with 10 minutes of the second half gone. The decisive score came in the 40th minute and it came via the inspirational captain Derek Crilly. Following some good work on the wing by the Gaels, the experienced David McComish launched a dangerous ball into the Blues goalmouth which was expertly punched to the net by Crilly. For the first time since mid-way through the first half, the underdogs had taken the lead, once which they fought tooth and nail to keep. The Blues responded through substitute Ross Nally and a flurry of substitutions on either side ensured the high tempo remained throughout. With the game now level entering the final 5, Gaels sub Kevin McArdle put Ramparts men ahead by one before Moloney added his second of the match to give the Gaels a 2 point cushion. The Blues continued to press and saw a late effort go into the side netting before they received one last free on the Gaels 45. A high ball into the square eventually went wide and this was followed by the sound of referee Brian Brady’s whistle to put the Gaels through to the semi-final for the second time in 3 years.
This was an enthralling encounter from start to finish and both sides played their part in a tremendous occasion. The Gaels now look forward to a championship meeting with local rivals and last year’s finalists, the Sean O’Mahony’s in what promises to be tense and tight affair.
Gaels: Paul Burke, Eamonn Kenny, David McComish, Jamie Faulkner, Peter McGinnity, David Moloney (0-2), Oisin Murray, James Stewart, Derek Crilly (1-2), Niall Hearty, Gerard McSorley (0-1), Sean Murray, Errol Boyle, Sean Fee (0-1), Jason Clarke (0-3)
Subs: Shane Rice, Sean McCann, Eanna McArdle, Kevin McArdle, Gary Shevlin, Chris Sweeney

Peter Norton, who died on August 29th, served on the club’s committee for a number of years, filling the role of treasurer for a period. He also helped in the running of underage teams. Peter was diligent in carrying out his duties as committeeman. When the lotto was introduced in the mid-1990s he played a pivotal role in its smooth running, and up until the onset of illness two years ago, he sold a book each week among family and friends. He was an occasional supporter of club teams. Born on the Long Avenue, Peter lived in the nearby Dunmor estate. His main sporting interest in recent years was greyhound racing, following a tradition begun by his father, Benny, many years ago. He could often be seen pounding the roads with one or two of his charges, and in partnership with his good friend, Seamus O’Hanlon, from Dowdallshill, enjoyed lots of good fortune, winning a succession of races at Dundalk and Shelbourne Park. Peter is survived by his wife, Antoinette (nee Callan, Kilsaran), sons, Darren and Alan, daughter, Kim, grandchildren, brothers and sisters, and other relatives and friends, to whom the club extends its sympathy. Remains were taken from his home on Tuesday, September 1st, to St Patrick’s Cathedral for Requiem Mass, and from there to Kilsaran Cemetery for burial. Club members formed a guard of honour, and the coffin was draped in the blue-and-white. A vote of sympathy with Peter’s family was passed at a committee meeting.

The Dundalk Gaels would like to offer its sincere condolences to the Mc Ginn family on the death of Marian McGinn.

Great U9 blitz in Gers over the weekend.

Please publish and let me know if you need anything else. Copy below and images attached.

“Geraldines ran a very successful under 9 boys blitz yesterday. This was the first time we had hosted a competitive blitz and thankfully the sun was shining on an immaculate McGeough Park.
The Geraldines fielded 2 teams, as did St.Peter’s Lurgan. Navan O’Mahonys, Kilkerley Emmets, St Patricks, Lordship and St Josephs, Dromiskin all entered one team each. After 3 group matches the teams entered into cup and shield competitions.
Geraldines put up a brave fight against St peters in the shield semi final but were beaten. Jake Logan scored a superb point and there were strong performances from Evan Hoey Rogers and Evyn O’Callaghan. Under 8’s Sean McKenna and Odhran Mac Shane put in very impressive performances.
Kilkerley defeated the other St Peters side in the other semi and Kilkerley went on to win the shield competition.
In the cup semi finals Geraldines and a very impressive Navan OMahoneys side had a very close fought match and the Geraldines came out on top after a sensational goal from Cian Spaight. The other semi final was also close with St.Pats eventually coming out on top against a very strong Joe’s team.
The final between the Pats and Gers was an extremely competitive game and the Pats edged home by 2 points after a very strong 2nd half.
All the Geraldines player played their part throughout with Cian Spaight giving his usual tireless ‘Duracell battery’ performance. Shane Mullaney gave a string of big performances and Cillian Lynch had an outstanding day despite injuring his thumb early on. Eoin Rodgers came to life in the final scoring 2 lovely points and Shay Neary and Cormac Broe won ball after ball and distributing it superbly and Jamie Soraghan impressed at half forward.
Michael O’Brien from the Joes won the free kick competition after a shoot out with youngTadhg Fitzgerald from Kilkerley while the penalty kick competition also came down to a sudden death shoot out between Conal Wilson and Oisin Haughey both from St Peters. Oisin finally eventually came out on top of this battle of the Lurgan sharp shooters.
After all the presentations were made everone enjoyed the chicken curry and rice provided in the clubrooms.
Big thank you to all the teams, coaches and parents for a super day. Also thanks to the man with the Megaphone, Brian Cafferty who helped the whole day run smoothly and to the 4 referees Nicky Mackin,Fionnuala Cafferty, Liam Cafferty and John Carr.
And finally congratulations to Kilkerley and the Pats on taking home the silverware ”

Senior Hurling League Final
St Fechins 2-11
Pearse Óg 0-9

St Fechins took home the Senior Hurling League title for the second time on Thursday night in Darver. The fixture was a repeat of last years championship final and having met in the league only two weeks ago, it’s fair to say the teams are on familiar terms. St Fechins reversed the result of the most recent fixture helped in part by a first half exhibition in scoring from Paul Mathews.

Although a Shane Callan free put Pearse Óg on the board after a minute, it was St Fechins who had the stronger opening. Paul Mathews opened his account with two points in two minutes, quickly followed by scores from Vincent Hynes and David Stephenson. After eight minutes Mathews bounced a shot past Pearse Óg ‘keeper Kevin Brady. A minute later he rose highest and with a glorious flick sent the sliotar to the back of the net once again. Seaghan Conneely looked like he could have added a third goal but opted for a point, following it up minutes later with a second. A number of tactical changes for Pearse Óg meant they tightened up in defence and they pulled back three points before half time. A final point from Paul Mathews saw the sides go in at the break with St Fechins leading by 2-7 to 0-4.

St Fechins began the second half with a free from Paddy McCormack but could not keep up their prolific scoring rate. Pearse Óg, determined to play their way back into the game, upped their intensity in attack. However their attempts to burst through St Fechins defence were rebuffed by the excellent Robert Moynagh and Oisín Byrne among others. Points from Vincent Hynes, Michael Ryan and a final free from David Stephenson cancelled out scores from Pearse Óg. St Fechins captains Paddy McCormack and Cormac McAuley accepted the cup from county chairman Des Halpenny to the cheers of St Fechins supporters. Celebrations however will be short lived as the Senior Hurling Championship returns next week where St Fechins will attempt to defend their title.

St Fechins:
Stephen Hackett, Cormac McAuley, Darren McDonnell, Robert Moynagh, Oisín Byrne, Cathal Ryan, Micháel Byrne, Donal Ryan, Paddy McCormack, David Stephenson, Vincent Hynes, Conor Mathews, Michael Ryan, Seaghan Conneely, Paul Matthews
Subs: Niall Devlin, Liam Ryan, Ross Berkery, Sean McConnell, Brian Stephenson

Scorers:
Paul Matthews 2-3
David Stephenson 0-2 (0-1f)
Vincent Hynes 0-2
Michael Ryan 0-1
Paddy McCormack 0-1 (0-1f)
Seaghan Conneely 0-2

Division 1 League Round 11
St Fechins 0-13
Naomh Mairtin 3-12

St Fechins travelled to Monasterboice needing a win to guarantee Division 1 football next year. However a defeat leaves them in a playoff against St Josephs. Playing with the wind in the first half a good start was essential, instead two Mairtins goals within the first two minutes rocked them. In fairness they fought back well and kicked nine points in a row through Ronan Holcroft, Niall Devlin and Eoghan Duffy. The Mairtins finished the half stronger and kicked four unanswered points to leave it 2-4 0-9 to the Monasterboice outfit at half time.

The second half saw the return to action of Colm O’Neill after a long layoff. Two J.P. Rooney points were followed by a Brian Berill goal and four further Mairtins points meant the game was over as a contest. The Fechins fought to the end but couldn’t eat into the Mairtins lead. Three Holdcroft frees were followed by a Colm O’Neill point to finish the scoring. St Fechins will now have to regroup and hope to get their injured players back for the championship and league play-off.

St Fechins:
Mark Savage, Sean McConnell, Tom Burke, Niall Carolan, Donal Ryan, David Collier, Leo McGrane, Ryan Sheridan, Paul Matthews, Joe Corrigan, Eoghan Duffy 0-2, Niall Devlin 0-2, Ronan Holcroft 0-8, Danny Burnell, Harry McArdle

Subs: Colm O’Neill 0-1 for David Collier, Brendan Fanning for Niall Carolan

Division 2 report

On Saturday evening, the final round of the Division 2 League was completed and there was excitement and tension right up until the final whistle in the Ramparts. The home side, Dundalk Gaels were beginning the evening joint top of Division 2 along with local rivals Clan na Gael and St Brides. As it stood, the Gaels were third due to the superior score difference of the other two sides with the Brides in particular well clear of both Dundalk sides. The most likely chance for the Gaels to gain automatic promotion to Division 1 would be for the Clans to not win and the Gaels to win. In this scenario, the Gaels would pip the Brides on head to head as they had beaten them earlier this season in Knockbridge. As the evening progressed such a result was unlikely but the Gaels kept to the task ahead of them and put local rivals Na Piarsaigh to the sword. Na Piarsaigh needed a win to ensure that they avoided the relegation play-off so it was never going to be an easy task for the home side.

The Gaels got off to a blistering start with early goals for Sean McCann and Niall Hearty meant they opened up a 2-2 to 0-0 lead after the opening 10 minutes. The away side however lifted their game and 4 successive points meant they stayed in touch as the Gaels began to squander chances at the other end. County star our Gerard McSorley was causing trouble for the Rock Road men with his pace and he ended the first half with 3 points to his name. Also in the score sheet in the first half for the Gaels were captain Derek Crilly and McCann along with a long range effort from young wing back Oisin Murray which bounced over the bar having evaded everyone around the 14 metre line of the away sides goal. At half time, the home side led on a scoreline of 2-6 to 0-5. At this stage in proceedings, the Gaels still stood in third place as both their table topping opponents were winning their respective matches at half time as well.

The second half was a nervous affair as the Gaels players, unaware of the scores in the other matches continued to attack and try to make a dent in the Brides substantial score difference. A goal by captain Derek Crilly following a dropped ball in the Na Piarsaigh square meant the Gaels opened up a large and unassailable lead. The away side to their credit kept on attacking and it required a late last gasp dive from Gaels veteran custodian Paul Burke to keep the green flag down for the away team. The tension on the Gaels sideline was building and as word came through of a penalty to the Irelanders in the game against the Clans, the home fans leaped with joy as they news filtered through that it was converted. As the 2 teams in the Ramparts continued playing, the news from the Clans was that the Irelanders and the Clans had played out a draw as the Gaels emptied their bench and were rewarded in the form of points from Eanna McArdle, Chris Sweeney and Gary Shevlin. When the final whistle finally was blown, there were joyous scenes as the Gaels players realised they had completed a remarkable achievement and bounced straight back up following their disappointment of relegation last year.

A fantastic turnaround by this group of players and the management team who after losing heavily in the first league game of the season, went on to remain undefeated for the rest of the league campaign. Their attentions now turn to the Senior Championship Quarter Final against perennial Championship opponents, Newtown Blues. With a league trophy already secured, there is reason to believe that this group are eyeing up a potential double after some narrow misses in the last few years.

Team: Paul Burke, David McComish, Jamie Faulkner, Eamonn Kenny, Oisin Murray (0-1), Derek Crilly (1-1), Peter McGnnity, David Moloney (0-1), Sean McCann (1-1), Niall Hearty (1-0), Gerard McSorley (0-4), Shane Rice, Oisin Murray, Errol Boyle, Jason Clarke (0-1)

Subs: Eanna McArdle (0-1), Chris Sweeney (0-1), Gary Shevlin (0-1), Adrian Rafferty

U8 Croke Park

On August 23rd the Cooley Kickhams U8 squad took their place on the hallowed turf of Croke Park.

All boarded the bus at St Marys hall on what was a very damp day and headed off full of excitement and antiscipation.

On arrival we were shown to our dressing room to get ready and warm up.

We then waited in the tunnel til we were called on to the pitch.

All the players took they positions on the pitch ready for the kick off.

Cooley faced a very competent team from Co. Kildare called Ballymore Eustace.

Cooley played really well showing lots of skill and determination in what was a very close encounter.

On the final whistle the teams made their way to the podium in the Hogan stand and everyone got to lift a small replica of the Sam Maguire cup.

This was the highlight of the day for many.

At 12 O’ clock began the stadium tour which was an added extra on the day.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed this getting an insight in to the behind the scenes events at GAA headquarters.

A memorable day was had by all and a huge thank you to everyone involved in making this happen.

Here’s to many more memorable days out in Croke park for this great club…..

Naomh Fionnbarra Ladies team were beaten by a stronger St. Fechins team in the second round of the Intermediate Championship on Sunday 21st August. The final score 8-8 to 1-6. St. Fechins won the toss and got the advantage of the strong wind in the first half. The score board read 3-3 for St. Fechins before Naomh Fionnbarra ladies found the target with a Jeni Devlin point. Ashley Callaghan took a hard hit in the goal mouth to deny another goal chance. Good work by Roisin Osbourne and Leanne Sharkey helped the Fionnbarra ladies get the ball up the field creating many scoring chances. Maria Butterly replaced the injured Ashley Callaghan and Leanne Sharkey took up the keeper position. Marianne Hullen took a great free to add a second point but Saint Fechins continued to increase the lead with the half time score line of 5-6 to 0-2.

A more spirited Naomh Fionnbarra team were helped by the wind in the second half. A solo run by Ciara McMahon earned her a free which was converted by Laura Sharkey. Jeni Devlin jumped high to win a kickout setting Marianne up for a point. Sarah McGrane was introduced for Vikki Carrie. Jeni and Marianne combined efforts again to get a super goal but St. Fechins replied with the same. Leah Cassidy carried the ball from wing back and Marianne scored another point. Leanne was left with no choice but to bring down the St. Fechins full forward giving away a penalty which St. Fechins scored. Seaghna Campbell replaced Alison Gorham in corner forward. Laura Sharkey scored the last point after Ciara McMahon took the ball from midfield. Katie McGee was introduced for Laura Sharkey. St. Fechins finished strong putting an end to the Naomh Fionnbarra come back. This game brings an end to the 2016 season.

Naomh Fionnbarra G.F.C.

Played in windy conditions Naomh Fionnbarra played Stabannon Parnells in the Semi Final of the Division 2/3 League Play Off at John Markey Park, Ballygassan on Saturday evening. The Stabannon men made light of their lower league status and had the brighter start. They scored 2 of the first 3 points of the game with the Finbarrs point coming from a well struck Conor Osborne effort. The Barrs then got a lucky break as Conor Osborne drilled a low shot to the back of the Stabannon net after there was confusion in their back line following a Bernard Osborne free. Back came Stabannon and they scored the next 2 points to regain the lead. Bernard Osborne replied for the Togher men, who were playing nervously, with a good point on the turn from the left. Parnells replied with another point while Andy McCann finished the scoring for the half with a lovely point from the right wing. Half time score: Naomh Fionnbarra 1-3(6) Stabannon Parnells 0-6(6).

The Barrs made a good start to the second half and in fact tehy dominated the 3rd quarter of the game scoring 8 points without reply from a number of scorers and of high quality. This haul included 3 good points from wing back Pádraig Butterly from the left wing as he drove forward from the Barrs back line. Bernard Osborne tacked on 2 points, 1 from a free and 1 from play while Pádraic Murphy made sure all of the full forward line got on the scoresheet with a nice point with his right boot after a good turnover in the Stabannon defence. Óisín McGee got in on the act with a very good point from the right wing while Conor Osborne added a good point to his first half tally. The Finbarrs were dominant in midfield in this period and the defence had little to do but remained solid.

At this stage it looked ominous for the Stabannon men, but they eventually got off the mark in the second half with a point. This left the score at 1-11 to 0-7 with about 15 minutes remaining. The game began to get scrappy as Stabannon got on top and Darren McConnon received his marching orders after receiving a second yellow card. Parnells then broke through the Togher back line and one of their forwards was dragge.d down. The referee immediately blew for a penalty which was dispatched top the back of the Finbarrs net. With the deficit reduced to 4 Stabannon could see a chink of light at the end of the tunnel and the Barrs became slightly nervous. Patrick McGrane received a black card during this period also. The Togher men squandered a couple of good scoring chances, however Bernard Osborne finally lifted the siege with a well taken free from 21m. Naomh Fionnbarra lived to fight another day and are through to the Division 2/3 League Play Off Final v Roche Emmets in a repeat of last years Junior Championship Final. Final score: Naomh Fionnbarra 1-12(15) Stabannon Parnells 1-7(10).

Naomh Fionnbarra scorers: Conor Osborne 1-2, Bernard Osborne 0-4(2f), Pádraig Butterly 0-3, Óisín McGee 0-1, Andy McCann 0-1, and Pádraic Murphy 0-1.

Naomh Fionnbarra Team: Daithi Woods, Hugh McGrane, Patrick McGrane, Brendan Simms; Bryan Sharkey, Colin McGrane, Pádraig Butterly; Hugh Osborne, Darren McConnon; Máirtín Murphy, Óisín McGee, Conor Osborne; Pádraic Murphy, Andy McCann, Bernard Osborne.

The club would like to express our deepest sympathy to the family of Mary McArdle Annagassan who passed away recently. May she Rest In Peace.

The club would also like to express our deepest sympathy to the family of Peter Hoey, Knockbridge who passed away recently. Peter was a stalwart gaa man and held many positions at County Board level over the years, in his position as honery president he was attending Co. Board meetings until very recently, not only attending but contributing as well despite his age. He was also a Trojan worker for the now defunct Supporters club. But it was for his great love of camogie that he was well known in this area, as when Louth won the All-Ireland championship in 1982 with a team made up from the two kingpins of camogie in the county, St. Anne’s & Kilkerly, Peter was one of the management team who worked hard to make it all possible. He was ever present at our dinner dances which were an annual thing for GAA clubs back in the sixty’s & Seventy’s when St Anne’s used to make a show of the Finbarrs with their presentations of Senior Leagues & Championships. May he Rest In Peace.

Played in sunny conditions Naomh Fionnbarra played St. Brides in the 11th Round of the Division 2 League at Páirc An Chuinnigh, Kinockbridge on Saturday evening. Playing with the breeze in the first half the Brides went in at the break with a 0-6 to 0-1 half time lead.

The Barrs hoped to reverse that trend in the second half however it was the Knockbridge men who upped it a few gears in the seocnd half and ran out convincing 2-13(19 to 1-4(7) winners.

Naomh Fionnbarra scorers: Andy McCann 1-0, Bernard Osborne 0-2, Óisín McGee 0-1 & Jack Butterly 0-1.

Division 3 football league.
Roche Emmets 1-17, Dowdallshill 1-6.
Dowdallshill went down to high flying Roche in this round 10 league game played in Roche on Friday night.
The home side are on a great run of form where they have been hitting over 20 points a game and had a 26 point win over Glen Emmets in the Sheild final on Tuesday, so they were expected to overcome Gary Corfigans side who were missing a number of regulars.
The home side started on the front foot with the opening 3 points, but the hill lads drew level with a goal from Chris McMahon who was a thorn in the home defence all night, and with a bit of luck he could have had a first half hatrick. Noel Finnegan and a fine Daniel Kerr effort from out near the sideline completed the visitors scoring in the first half as Roche kicked some fine scores to lead by 0-12 to 1-2 at half time.
The second half saw Dowdallshill battle right to the end and got some good scores from Paul Gill, Paul Flynn and Aidan McCabe.
Best for the Hill were; John Kerr in goal, Paul Flynn, Chris McMahon and Gerry McShane who rolled back the years to with a great game at midfield.
Dowdallshill team and scorers; John Kerr; Vincent McKevitt, Damien Fanning, Emmet o Brien; Noel Finnegan (0-1), Paul Flynn (0-1), Jack McGailey; Gerry McShane, Vincent Roe; Paul Delaney, Robert Arthurs, Paul Gill(0-1); Daniel Kerr (0-1), Chris McMahon (1-0), Aidan McCabe (0-2). Sub Gary Corrigan.

St Finbarrs & St Annes Club Notes July

Played in sunny conditions Naomh Fionnbarra played Na Piarsaigh in the 2nd Round of the Intermediate Championhip at Pairc Bríd, Dowdallshill on Saturday evening. The Dundalk men made the brighter start and scored a goal by Mark Larkin after 3 minutes as the ball was fumbled into the Finbarrs net. The Barrs got off the mark via a fisted point by Darren McConnon as the ball was played across the square a minute later. Larkin replied for Na Piarsaigh, however the Finbarrs started to take control and popped over the next 3 points from play to tie the scores. The first by Máirtín Murphy which almost resulted in a goal as it barely scraped over the bar and 2 from Bernard Osborne from play, the first a brilliant long range effort after a neat turn. Larkin was causing the Barrs defence problems at the other end and he scored again for the Dundalk men to re take the lead. This prompted a switch in the Finbarrs defence as Hugh McGrane took over marking duties on the dangerman.

The Togher men clicked into top gear at this stage and started to dominate around the middle. Andy McCann equalised the scores on 14 minutes with a well taken point from the right wing. Some vital turnovers in the Finbarrs defence by Óisín McGee and Paddy McGrane led to scores as did some good combination play. Bernard Osborne struck 3 in a row as he continued his good form. 2 from placed balls, 1 of which was tight to the left hand sideline and 1 from open play, leaving the Barrs 0-8 to 1-2 ahead. Back came Na Piarsaigh and who else but that man Larkin got on the scoreboard with 3 points in a row to level the scores for the 3rd time. In what was an up and down half the Barrs scored twice more with good points from Pádraig Butterly and Osborne again. Half time score: Naomh Fionnbarra 0-10(10) Na Piarsaigh 1-5(8).

The Barrs drew first blood at the start of the second half with a Conor Osborne point after 2 minutes to increase their lead to 4 and it looked ominous for the Dundalk men. They had other ideas however, and between the 36the and 47th minute of the half they struck for 1-5 without reply as they took control. They targeted the Barrs talismanic midfielder John Doyle and made it difficult for the Togher men to get out of their half. In fairness, the Finbarrs contributed to their malaise as they lacked incision and played laterally and got bottled up in the centre of the field. Point scorers for Na Piarsaigh were Joe Woods, Mark Larkin, Alan McCartney, Paul Mallon and Ciaran Murphy, while Larkin bagged the goal after a lucky break where the loose ball spun into his path. This left the score at 2-10 to 0-11 with 13 minutes remaining and the Barrs looked to be in trouble.

Eventually the Finbarrs awoke from their slumber as substitute Jack Butterly scored a point on 49 minutes after 17 minutes without a score. Brothers Hugh and Conor Osborne upped the anti with good points of their own to reduce the deficit to 2 points. At this stage Andy McCann and Darren McConnon were brought out to the middle of the field where they won some good possession and helped the team gain momentum. Time was running out however as there were only 5 minutes left in the game. A point by Darren McConnon left 1 point between the teams. It was Na Piarsaigh now who were under pressure and they could not get the ball to stick in their forward line as the Togher defence repelled their counter attacks. Another sub Pádraic Murphy slotted over the equalising score from 30 metres with a couple of minutes to go. A draw was enough to put the Barrs through however they went for the win and the ball was worked to Óisín McGee who calmly lofted the ball over the bar and regain the lead. In the build up the Na Piarsaigh full back was sent off for an altercation with Bernard Osborne. With their next attack Na Piarsaigh went for broke but were halted by Andy McCann who received a black card. From the resulting free kick the ball was sent high into the Barrs square and was scrambled clear while Na Piarsaigh’s claim for a penalty fell on deaf ears. The referee blew the final whistle and Naomh Fionnbarra were through to the Quarter Finals by the narrowest of margins. Final score: Naomh Fionnbarra 0-17(17) Na Piarsaigh 2-10(16).

Naomh Fionnbarra scorers: Bernard Osborne 0-6(2f), Darren McConnon 0-2, Conor Osborne 0-2, Óisín McGee 0-1, Máirtín Murphy 0-1, Andy McCann 0-1, Jack Butterly 0-1, Hugh Osborne 0-1, Pádraig Butterly 0-1 and Pádraic Murphy 0-1.

Naomh Fionnbarra Team: Allan Matthews, Hugh McGrane, Patrick McGrane, Bryan Sharkey; Chris McGlynn, Colin McGrane, Pádraig Butterly; Hugh Osborne, John Doyle; Máirtín Murphy, Óisín McGee, Conor Osborne; Andy McCann, Darren McConnon, Bernard Osborne. Subs: Jack Butterly for Máirtín Murphy, Pádraig Murphy for Chris McGlynn, Nicholas Butterly for Bernard Osborne(inj), Shane Fanning for Andy McCann(BC).

Played in sunny, breezy conditions Naomh Fionnbarra played St. Mochtas in the 1st Round of the Intermediate Championhip at Stabannon on Saturday evening. The Barrs made the brighter start and had a 1-1 to 0-3 lead after the first quarter the point coming from Óisín McGee after a good long ball by Conor Osborne and the goal by Darren McConnon who had a fisted effort saved and he then flicked the rebound into the net. The Mochtas were keeping in touch with all 3 points from placed balls by Declan Byrne. The Barrs replied with a couple of well taken frees of their own from Bernard Osborne and points from play by Bryan Sharkey and Máirtín Murphy. Three more points from the Mochs finished the half. Half time score: Naomh Fionnbarra 1-4(7) St. Mochtas 0-6(6).

The Barrs further stretched their advantage with 2 quick fire goals in the first quarter of the second half. The goals coming from a lovely effort from Conor Osborne after a great move and the other coming from Darren McConnon who had moved to midfield to good effect. The gave the Barrs a comfortable 7 point lead and they looked to stretch it further after a great move swept down the field and John Doyle popped the ball to Pádraig Butterly who burst through the Mochtas cover at pace. His powerful shot was saved by the Louth village keeper onto the bar and McConnon was unlucky not to flick the ball to the net for his hat trick. This gave the Mochtas a new lease of life and they reponded when Declan Byrne flicked the ball into the net after a long ball into the square. A low kick out was gathered by the Mochtas attack and they ran at the Fnbarrs defence to score another goal to reduce the lead to 1. The Louth village men were right in the middle of their purple patch and they scored another 2 points over the next 10 minutes. But for some good defending from the McGranes, Hugh, Colin and Patrick along with Hugh Osborne the Mochs could have been further ahead. The Togher men showed good character to come back again as Doyle and McConnon regained a grip at midfield. Another osborne free levelled matters and a well taken point from Conor Osborne but the Barrs ahed once again entering the final stages. Unfortunately it was not to be and the Mochtas scored too points in the closing stages to win a very tigh game. Final score: Naomh Fionnbarra 3-6(15) St. Mochtas 2-10(16)

Naomh Fionnbarra scorers: Darren McConnon 2-0, Conor Osborne 1-1, Bernard Osborne 0-3(3f), Óisín McGee 0-1 & Máirtín Murphy 0-1.

FT Blues 0-12 to Gets 3-12.

HT Blues 0-08 to Gers 0-04.

Scorers : Mc Eneaney 1-02, Trainor 1-01, Hamill 1-05, Rogers 0-01, C Hoey 0-02, Sean Thornton 0-01, .

Subs : Kevin Pepper from Tiarnan Hand, Stephen Reidy for Ryan Trainor, PaddybGeoghegan for Paddy Hoey. Jack Traynor for Michael Rogers

Hamill opens with a fine point from play after Mc Eneaney took the diagonal pass from C Hoey but then two Gers wides with Paddy Hoey followed by brother Conal.

Blues player Judge hits first wide for home side before he hits one between the sticks wth a free to make it 1 each.

Gers get a free which Hamill converts but Blues equalise a minute later from play to equal at 2 each. Judge then puts Blues one ahead.

Great defending by Hand and Thornton and Judge misses free.

Gers guilty of giving the ball away in defence but make amends when Blues go on attack but Blues then convert free to put them 2 ahead.

Great defending by Neacy, back up the field with McEneaney on the end of a great move and a pooint for Gers. After 15minutes Blues 0-04 Gers 0-03.

Judge puts Blues two and then 3 clear before Hamill pulls one back for Visitors.

Gers giving the ball away in attack and Blues go back down the field with the home side capitalising with a point to make it a 3 point game.

Gers guilty of poor ball handling in their attack and Blues winning most of the breaks in the middle of the field.

Judge puts 4 between the sides to finish the half 0-08 to Gers 0-04.

*******

First 10 minutes of 2nd half was very poor from both sides with a flurry of wides, fouls and poor ball handling before two goals in two minutes turned the Gers 4 point deficit into a two point lead and the game came alive. First GOAL by Hamill after long pass from McEneaney then a GOAL by McEneaney to put Gers 2 ahead. 0-08 to 2-04

Gers go three ahead before Blues pull it back to 2 point game with a converted free to make score 0-09 to 2-05. Mc Eneaney then gets a fine point for Gers and after 45 minutes Blues are 0-9 to Gers 2-06.

Blues then get a point to reduce Gers lead to 2 points with less than 15 minutes to go but a C Hoey point makes it a 3 point game before Hamill then makes it 4.

Blues reduce it, again, to a 3 point game 0-11 to 2-08 and then Blues with another good point to make it a two point game with just over 10 minutes to go. C Hoey, in fine form, then extends Gers lead with point from his left boot, Gers by 3.

Great fielding by Reidy, a string of passes with Trainor on end of a fisted Goal and one of the best moves of the match. Gers lead by 6 before Trainor is on the board again to put 7 points between the sides. Score now is Blues 0-12 to Gers 3-10. Sean Thornton then puts 8 in it before corner forward Dara Hamill with final point for Gers and the game.

Game of two halves as Gers light up the game with goals in second half and both teams exchange points before Gers third goal means no come back from the homeside. First half was not the best from both sides but they both meant business in second half which made for a very entertaining display of football and a reminder that Championship is not far away. Final score Newtown Blues 0-12 to Geraldines 3-12.

Dundalk Gaels 3-13 Roche Emmets 0-1
Dundalk Gaels u12 welcomed their Roche Emmet’s counterparts to the ramparts on a lovely Friday evening for round 7 of the u12 league. From the offset the Gaels team took the upper hand resulting in some lovely interplay which would have seen more scores but for the resolute defending of the Roche rear guard especially their keeper who made some outstanding saves. Eventually the pressure paid off with some fine scores registered courtesy of Ciaran Walsh and Liam O’Connor, their hard working half forward line. It was the turn of full forward Ryan Coleman to add further to that tally and although the Gaels were well on top Roche always looked dangerous when they counter attacked. This meant the Gaels defence had to be on their toes but with the half back line of Daniel Brogan and Cian Walsh impressive in their reading of the game and their interventions supported impressively by the full back line of Jack Mullen and James Haughey winning plenty of ball their keeper Preston Keating was well protected. This left the score at half time 3-4 to 0-1 in favour of the home team. The second half again saw the Gaels take up where they left off with everyone to a man fighting for every ball and making it difficult for the Roche team to make any gains. In fairness to Roche they never gave up and consistently threatened the Gaels goal and but for a bit more rub of the green would have had more scores on the board. The Gaels midfield of Conal O’Callaghan and Oran Mulligan were relentless in work rate, Robert Kilgallon excelled in his vision and distribution with Oisin Woods winning plenty of possession and using it well. Conor Weir up forward and Patrick Curley in defence adding further to the teams efforts when they were introduced but altogether a strong and skillful all round team performance by the home team. Roche for their part had plenty of fine footballers on display and could have had a lot more on the score board if chances were taken. A great game played in the right spirit by both teams.
Gaels Team: Preston Keating, James Haughey, Jack Mullen, James Haughey, Daniel Brogan, Robert Kilgallon, Conal O’Callaghan (0-1), Oran Mulligan (0-1), Oisin Woods, Ciaran Walsh (1-2), Liam O’Connor (1-6), Ryan Coleman (1-2), Conor Weir (0-1), Patrick Curley

Gaels travelled to Ardee to face the Marys in the final round of the Division 1 Minor League on Monday night.

The Gaels started the game very brightly and learned the lessons from the poor first half the previous week against the Martins. Liam Lynch and Christopher Sweeney got the Gaels off to a great start with well taken points. The Marys responded with a point of their own. The Gaels were the best team throughout the half and put the Marys defence under constant pressure. The Gaels won three frees which were converted by Lynch and Sweeney (2) but the Gaels could have scored more had they a bit more composure in front of the goals. The Marys responded with three points of their own, two from frees to leave the score Gaels 0-5, Marys 0-4 at half time.

The Gaels continued where they left off in the second half but showed much more composure in front of goals and scored ten points in all in the second half in a dominant display. Paul McCrave scored a nice free from top of the right, Liam Lynch finished off two great moves with well taken points. Sean McGuire who had a great second half scored a good point and Jordan Keating scored an inspirational point from midfield. The real star of the show from a scoring perspective was Christopher Sweeney who landed five points in the second half to bring his personal tally for the match to an impressive 8 points. The Marys struggled to score in the second half but had one great goal effort come off the bar and converted three points to bring their final tally to 7 points.

These two teams will meet against in the minor championship but for now Gaels were happy on the night to get a well-deserved win following a disappointing run of results in the league.

It was an excellent team performance by the Gaels on the night with all players contributing well but there were some excellent performances from brothers Tommy and Timmy Olowokere, Cian Kelly, Conor Morgan, Ciaran Carter, Liam Lynch and Christopher Sweeney.

On Sunday evening in the first of a senior championship double header, Division 2 rivals Dundalk Gaels and O’Raghallaighs clashed in Dunleer. With the Gaels having overcome a deficit of 8 points in their first game last week against St Mary’s to salvage a draw, tonight’s game had everything to play for. The Gaels had one enforced change from last week with Sean Murray coming in for the suspended county star Gerard McSorley. On a great evening for football, the Gaels took control of the game from the very start.

A high ball into the full forward line saw veteran Errol Boyle pluck the ball from the sky before turning and making no mistake from 6 yards out to give the Gaels the best possible start with a green flag. O’Raghallaighs responded through a Barry Flanagan pointed free before the seasoned Peter McGinnity saw his goal bound effort from 20 metres out tipped over the bar. Boyle followed up with a point from play to give the Gaels a 1-2 to 0-1 lead. Then the Sean Murray show began, first he pointed from play before raising the Dundalk team’s second green flag. to open up a sizeable lead for the blue and white hoops. The Drogheda side responded well with Moore hitting 3 consecutive frees before Murray hit 2 more from play either side of a the O’Raghallaighs first point from play. The Gaels went in ahead at the break on a scoreline of 2-5 to 0-5.

The second half began with a fine effort from full back Jamie Faulkner before this was cancelled out by another Moore free. Jason Clarke opened his account with his first point of the game which was cancelled out again by Eoin Moore. Sean McCann sent over a fine effort for the Ramparts side before Boyle added his second point from play to leave it 2-9 to 0-7 in favour of the Gaels. Clarke and Moore exchanged points before Barry Flannagan pointed the Drogheda men’s last score of the game from a free to leave it 2-10 to 0-9. A fantastic effort from captain Derek Crilly from a 45 and a huge score from last weeks supersub Kevin McArdle saw the Gaels run out 2-12 to 0-9 winners.

The Gaels must now play the waiting game to see where they finish in the group after next weeks match between the Marys and O’Raghallaighs and then see how the match between the O’Connells and the Newtown Blues finishes to determine who they will face in the quarter final stage of the Senior Championship.

Senior Chsmpionship Report
On Sunday afternoon, Division 2 challengers took on St Mary’s Ardee in a repeat of the 2014 quarter final in Group 1 of the Senior Championship. Dundalk Gaels entered the game as underdogs as the Ardee men’s recent run of form in Division 1 saw them take the favourites tag. The game was a tale of two halves and after the first half St Marys were indeed good value for their favourites tag.

The game started with a wind blowing towards the Gaels goal. The Division 1 men were the brightest to start and two early points put them ahead. The Gaels responded with a point of their own from caption Derek Crilly before the games first goal arrived. Some hesitancy in the Gaels defence presented an opportunity to the Mary’s number 10 and he dribbled the ball along the ground before finishing past the hapless Paul Burke in goals. The Gaels responded well and continued to register white flags to keep themselves in touching distance of the favourites, who lost their influential number 11 to a black card following an off the ball trip on Crilly. The Gaels suffered a hammer blow just before half time though as the Ardee men raised another green flag. A high ball into the Gaels defence was dropped and it landed at the feet of the Mary’s number 18 who made no mistake inside the 14 yard line to give the Mary’s a 7 point lead at half time. The scoreline read 2-6 to 0-5 in favour of the Division 1 side at the turnaround.

The Gaels came out the second half a different side and three successive points inside the first 5 minutes showed that they would not roll over. Crilly, David McComish and Gerard McSorley all pointed to bring the Gaels right back into this championship encounter and banish the lapse before halt time which led to the Mary’s second goal. A fascinating encounter further exploded when midfielder Sean McCann received a black card from referee Donal Brady and shortly after this, both Gerard McSorley and the Mary’s number 12 received their marching orders following an off-the-ball incident. With the game in the melting pot, and the Gaels emptying their bench, one switch proved vital. It was the introduction of Kevin McArdle. Shortly after arriving on the pitch he pointed from play to bring the Gaels within a score of the Mary’s before following a mazy run, he belted an unstoppable left foot effort in the the bottom right corner of the Ardee net to bring the game back to a draw. A further point from the Gaels put then one ahead going into injury time. The Mary’s however were offered an opportunity to redeem themselves when Brady adjudged the Gaels defence to have fouled the Mary’s number 15. The Mary’s man took it himself and following the kickout, Brady blew for the full time whistle to bring an end to this pulsating encounter between two very evenly matched sides.

While the first half belonged to the Mary’s, there is no doubt the second half was the Dundalk team’s. Their battling qualities shone through in the face of adversity and a 7 point deficit. They now turn their attention to Sunday and a 6pm encounter with fellow Division 2 side O’Raghallaighs. A win will put the Dundalk side through to the quarter finals while anything else will mean their fate will in the hands of the final group game between the Rats and the Mary’s.

Gaels: P Burke, D McComish (0-1), J Faulkner, E Kenny, D Moloney (0-1), P McGinnity, O Murray, S McCann (0-1), J Stewart, D Crilly (0-3), G McSorley (0-1), S Rice (0-1), E Boyle, S Fee (0-2), J Clarke (0-3)

Div4
On Sunday morning, Dundalk Gaels travelled to Haggardstown to take on the Geraldines in a fascinating encounter which provided a feast of football at its finest. The game had 7 goals, black cards and was played in a fierce but enjoyable tempo throughout. It was a credit to both teams and their clubs.

The opening half was the quieter of the 2 but still produced 3 goals. The Ger’s started brightest and rattled off a few early points before the Gaels really got going. A high ball into the home square caused panick and confusion and Gaels full forward Stephen Murphy rose highest to thump the ball to the back of the Gers net to bring the Gaels back into the game. At the other end a great save from Brian Gaffney ensured the Gaels didn’t drift far behind. A further Mikey Burke goal for the Gaels was cancelled out at the other end as the home side finally breathed the Gaels rearguard. Both sides traded scores for the rest of the half and at half time the Gaels went in behind by one point.

The Gaels suffered the loss of the lively Liam Lynch at the break but he was replaced by the experienced Eanna McArdle. The second half was a lively affair and produced 4 goals, 3 for the home side and 1 for the Dundalk men. The Gaels goal came via the fist of Murphy again who leaped highest to rattle the Gers net. At the other end the Gers second goal came after the initial effort was well saved by Gaffney but the rebound fell kindly to an onrushing attacker. The Gaels kept piling forward and McArdle hit the post with his effort having beaten the keeper. At the other end the loudest cheer of the day came following a deft touch by a Gers substitute diverting a shot beyond the helpless Gaffney into the net. The Gaels suffered a second blow as Murphy was black carded late in the second half.

The final score was in favour of the home side with the Geraldines scoring 4-12 against the Gaels 3-8. The game itself was a great advert for Gaelic and played with a competitive edge, it was a joy to behold for all the spectators at the game. The Gaels now turn their attention to bottom placed Wolfe Tones in their last Division 4 encounter of the season.

Ladies Division 2 League Final

St Fechins 4-10
St Kevins 2-15

St Fechins claimed the Division 2 title with a single point victory over St Kevins in a fantastic game. Having won all their games in the league it was fitting that St Fechins lifted the cup. St Fechins opened the scoring with a Louise McCullough point but in a low scoring half they were able to add three goals, a brace from Rachel Kinch and another from Céire Nolan following an excellent pass from Hayley McDonnell. St Kevins kept in touch with points from the excellent Paula Murray and a goal just before half time to leave the score at 3-1 to 1-5.

The second half saw the Kevins start at a blistering pace. A goal and three points in a matter of minutes shocked St Fechins. Slowly they clawed their way back into the game. An excellent Sara Moore point was followed by another from the hard working Catherine McGlew. As the teams exchanged points, the heat and the excitement rose. In a half that saw twenty one scores, the lead changes hands many times. Trailing by a point with five minutes left, a high ball driven into the Kevins square was finished to the net by Hayley McDonnell. St Kevins replied with three points in the dying minutes but an injury time score from Hazel Hauhgney insured the win. Proud captain Sarah Sharkey received the cup to the great jubilation of the winners supporters.

St Fechins:

Senior Hurling League
St Fechins 3-16
Knockbridge HC 2-10
St. Fechins hurlers recorded their first ever win away to Knockbridge in Round 3 of the Senior Hurling League. Played in blistering heat, the Fechins got off to a perfect start and led by five points to one after 15 minutes through fine scores from Seaghan Conneely, Michael Ryan, and David Stephenson, while Gavin Kane posed the main threat at the opposite end of the field.
Knockbridge struggled to compete with the Termonfeckin men around the middle of the field and further points from Conneely, Ryan, Barry Devlin, Micheal Byrne and the hard working Conor Mathews saw St. Fechins open up a seven point lead, 0-11 to 0-4.
Knockbridge however showed their resilience and scored a crucial goal on the stroke of half-time to keep themselves firmly in contention. Gavin Kerrigan raced through the heart of the Fechins defence and fired to the back of the net from 20 yards.
Playing against a noteworthy breeze in the second half, St. Fechins managed to find the Knockbridge net on three occasions. Great work from Conneely sent substitute Ross Berkery through on goal, and he finished with aplomb. Berkery was fouled inside the Knockbridge box minutes later. Stephen Hackett elected to take the point from the resulting penalty.
Minutes later, Michael Ryan slalomed through the Knockbridge defence and poked home from close range. By the time Ryan dispatched his second goal from close range, St. Fechin’s led by 3-15 to 1-9, and the game was effectively over as a contest.
To their credit, Knockbridge battled gamely to the finish and were rewarded when Paul Dunne smashed how a thunderous effort, leaving goalkeeper Hackett with no chance.
St. Fechins ran out 3-16 to 2-10 winners, and will be in high spirits going into Thursday’s clash with table toppers Pearse Óg. A win would guarantee them a place in the final. Knockbridge’s league campaign has ended and they now must wait until the next round of the championship against Moninne for competive action.

Ladies Division 2 League Semi Final – 10th July in Beaulieu

St Fechins 2-9
Glyde Rangers 1-6

St Fechins ladies maintained their 100% record in the league when making it six wins on the trot at home to Glyde Rangers in the semi final of Division 2 on Sunday morning in what was a fantastic game of football. The Fechins had already been confirmed as playing Division 1 senior football next year but were in search of some silverware to finish out the league.

Played in warm but windy conditions the Fechins playing their first game in seven weeks started very tentatively and the visitors with the advantage of the wind in the first half tore into it from the off. Glyde hit the first three points before Louise Mc Cullough got the first score for Fechins after a good through ball by Grace Healy. Glyde driven forward by Louth player Michelle Mc Mahon soon pressed home their advantage when hitting home a goal and two points before Roisin Kavanagh took a good pass from Clodagh Ryan and responded with a great point to leave the half time score 1-5 to 2 points.

The Fechins re-grouped at half time and with the introduction of three subs, Rachael Kinch, Hazel Haughney and Hayley Mc Donnell, came out firing in the second half. Despite this Glyde actually increased their lead to seven in the second minute of the half but that was a good as it got and amazingly were held scoreless for the remainder of the game. The Fechins were soon on top in all sectors with Orla Brennan, Anna Redmond, Grace Haughney and Katie Flynn now dominating the Glyde attack and Céire Nolan (player of the match) driving forward from midfield the majority of the second half was domiciled in the Fechins forward line and the pressure soon told. Catherine Mc Glew tapped over a free and this was soon followed by a brilliant Rachael Kinch goal. Mc Cullough then added another goal to level the match when tapping in from close range after Liz Sheridan forced a mistake from the Glyde defence and soon followed with the lead point.

At this stage it seemed that Fechins would coast to victory but in a rare foray up the field Glyde were denied a certain goal when Ellen Brodigan (who had replaced the injured Caoimhe Mc Quillan in the first half) made a brilliant save and the danger was cleared by the ever alert captain Sarah Sharkey. Again the Fechins responded knocking over five points in a row with two for Mc Glew, two for Hazel Haughney and one for Becky Howell to set up a final date with St Kevins next Sunday 17th

St Fechins:

Scorers:
Louise Mc Cullough 1-2, Catherine Mc Glew 0-3(2F),Rachael Kinch 1-0,

Senior Hurling Championship Round 1

St Fechins 5-19
Naomh Moninne 0-10

St Fechins got their defence of the Louth Senior Hurling Championship off to an ideal start with a resounding victory over Naomh Moninne. A block down in the Moninne half back line by Fechins centre forward Vincent Hynes inside the first minute set the tone for the night, and the defending champions attacking intent showed in the second minute when Seaghan Conneely put the sliotar past Moninne ‘keeper Niall Cafferkey for his sides first goal. By the time Diarmaid Murphy put Moninne on the scoresheet with a free after eighteen minutes, St Fechins had registered 2-8. Their second goal came from a penalty when Paul Mathews was pulled down inside the large rectangle and was finished to the net by Paddy Lynch. Moninne enjoyed a spell of possession in which they scored three points. However two goals from Paul Mathews were followed by some excellent long range points from Vincent Hynes and Paddy McCormack to leave the half time score reading 4-9 to 0-5.

The second half followed much the same pattern as the first. A second Paddy Lynch goal was followed by three David Stephenson points. With outstanding defenders in Robert Moynagh, Cormac McAuley and the Byrne and Ryan brothers, St Fechins had the platform to set up lots of scoring opportunities. The Dundalk side tried to the end but were outclassed by a stronger Termonfeckin team.

Division 1 League Round 10
St Fechins 1-10
Kilkerley Emmets 0-9

St Fechins got back to winning ways with a well deserved four point victory over Kilkerley Emmets. Bevan Duffy provided the platform for the home side with a powerful display at midfield. Ronan Holcroft was also in sparkling form and tapped over two points before the visitors equalised. A long range effort from Bevan Duffy quickly restored the locals lead. Shane Lennon was always a threat and brought the scores level before Ryan Sheridan kicked the Fechins only point from a free. A low scoring first half saw St Fechins go in four points to three ahead at the break.

Playing with the aid of a breeze the Fechins dominated the second half. A brilliant Joe Corrigan point from an almost impossible angle was followed by another from the hard working Eoghan Duffy. The Kilkerley men fought their way back into the match with three points from play. For the next ten minutes the home team piled on the pressure and scored a goal and four points without reply. The goal, a penalty, was drilled into the roof of the net by Holcroft. The points, all from play, came from Holcroft, Ryan Sheridan and two from Paul Matthews. With 7 points between the teams, the Termonfeckin men looked to be pulling away, but Kilkerley never gave up and three late points brought the margin back to four.

Dowdallshill AC & GC Club Notes June

Division 3 Football league.
Dowdallshill 3-9, Naomh Malachi 2-8.
Dowdallshill recorded their second league victory of the season on Friday night when they defeated the men from Shelagh to move clear of the bottom of the table and almost assure them of avoiding the relagation play off.
In what was a good team performance, the lads let at the interval by 1-6 to 1-5 thanks to a late first half penalty from top scorer Noel Finnegan.
The visitors replied with an early second half goal to go ahead but the Hill lads responded and two goals mid way through the half from Jack McGailey and Ciaran Sheridan give them the lead and they held on to claim the 2 valuable points.
Dowdallshill team and scorers; Gary Corrigan; Emmet o Brien, Vincent Roe, Ridwan Bodunrin; Sean Duffy, Paul Flynn, Jack McGailey (1-1); Gerry McShane (0-1), Eamonn Duffy; Noel Finnegan (1-3), Robert Arthurs (0-1), Paul Gill (0-2); Paul Donaghy, Paul Delaney, Ciaran Sheridan (1-0).

Played in sunny conditions excellent for football, Naomh Fionnbarra B played St. Marys Ardee B in the round 8 of the Division 4 League at Pairc Mhuire, Ardee on Friday evening. The Barrs made the brighter start with the first score via a well struck long range free from Hugh Osborne. The Marys responded and took control with the next 4 points from play. The Barrs were battling bravely and were rewarded with a very good point from play by Hugh Osborne after a move running the length of the field from Shane O’Briens kick out. The Marys then took complete control and scored 1-5 from play without reply to take a commanding lead. Once a again it was Hugh Osborne who responded with a long range free after some good build up play by the Togher forwards. The Ardee men kicked the final score of the half, a point from play. Half time score: Naomh Fionnbarra B 0-3(3) St. Marys Ardee B 1-10(13).

Maybe it was the break in play, the magic water at half time, the team talk or just a bit of stubborn resistance but as the cliché goes this was definately a game of two halves. The Barrs scored first after the interval with a point from play by Chris McGlynn from the left wing to reduce the deficit to 9. The Marys in fairness continued from where they left and scored 2 more points from play, increasing their lead to 11 and things began to look ominous for the Barrs. However, the Finbarrs showed a bit of grit and character to respond with a point off the post from Pádraig Murphy. The Mary’s responded again to keep the lead at 11 points. Another good point from play from Murphy finished a move running the length of the field involving Brendan Simms, Michael McGrane, Colin McGrane, Hugh McGrane and Andy McCann as the Barrs finally started to kick into gear. Conor Osborne struck a quick fire point from the ground over the bar. The Finbarrs upped the tempo and Hugh Osborne lobbed a shot over the Marys keeper into the back of the net after a good ball in from Andy McCann. Some good defending by the Togher men repelled the attacks of the Ardee men and Hugh Osborne tapped over a 14m free after a good break up the field.

At this stage the Marys lead was reduced to 5 and the come back of the year was most definitely on. In fairness, the Marys were not lying down without a fight and scored a point from play to increase their lead once again. Back again came the Barrs and not to be outdone by his brother Conor Osborne sold an audacious dummy and scored a screamer of a goal, in off the post, from 21 metres, to put the game firmly in the melting pot. Once again the Marys broke up the field and Shane O’Brien made a great save, which was followed up by melée involving many of the players after which one of the Marys subs was sent off. Unfortunately, the Ardee men scored the next point from play to increase the lead to 4. Good interpaly between the Osbornes Conor and Hugh led to a point from Conor to reduce the lead to 3 once again. However, its was too little too late as the Mary’s tagged on one final point from a free and the Barrs were to rue a poor first half display. All players must be commended on the battling performance especially those who played when injured. Final score: Naomh Fionnbarra B 2-9(15) St. Marys Ardee B 1-16(19)

Naomh Fionnbarra scorers: Hugh Osborne 1-4(3f), Conor Osborne 1-2, Pádraig Murphy 0-2, Chris McGlynn 0-1.

Played in sunny conditions excellent for football Naomh Fionnbarra played Clogherhead Dreadnots in the first round of the Paddy Sheelan Shield at John Markey Park, Ballygassan on Tuesday evening. The Barrs made the brighter start as a good break up the field led to a foul on Conor Osborne. His cousin Bernard tapped over the resulting free after 4 minutes. The Dreadnots replied with a well struck 45 metre kick and then with a free to take the lead. Chris McGlynn scored the first point from play to level the scores on 13 minutes after patient build up play by the Finbarrs forwards. The Barrs were playing some decent football at this stage but were lacking in the final third as they kicked numerous wides. Clogher scored next, their first from play after 18 minutes and followed this up 4 minutes laterwith another from play. Pádraig Murphy got in on the scoring act after a good break from midfield to reduce the deficit back to 1. It was the Clogherhead men who were wasteful at this stage missing a good few chances as they were under serious pressure from the Barrs defence. However, they did score 2 points at the end of the half which sandwiched a Finbarrs single. This was scored by fleet footed centre half Hugh Osborne after a lovely flowing move through the Dreadnots defence. Half time score: Naomh Fionnbarra 0-4(4) Dreadnots 0-6(6).

The Dreadnots scored first after the interval with a point from play to increase their lead to 3. Bothe sides then missed a number of chances. The signs were worrying for the Togher men but the players had other ideas as Máirtín Murphy lurked with intent and buried a goal to level the scores after a Bernard Osborne point attempt rebounded off the post on 37 minutes. This was the catalyst that saw the Barrs score 2-8 without reply. Osborne himself then fisted over a point after a long ball through the centre by his brother Stuart. Óisín McGee then got in on the act with a well struck long range point after some good defensive work and a turnover by the Finbarrs rearguard. Another Pádraig Murphy point from play followed, this time from a tight angle in the left corner. A Bernard Osborne free on 44 minutes increased the lead further.

The Barrs were flying at this stage and that man again Máirtín Murphy bagged another 3 pointer with a superb finish to the bottom left hand corner of the Clogherhead net, his 6th in 5 games. Hugh Osborne scored his second this time from a tight angle with the aid of the post. Bearnard Osborne boomed over a 45m kick to increase the lead to 9. Pádraig Murphy then kicked his 3rd from play after 50 minutes and the Barrs were home and dry. Óisín McGee finished off the scoring for the Togher outfit with another good point from play 5 minutes later. The game petered out to its final conclusion as the Dreadnots grabbed a consolation point towards the end. The Barrs were impressive all over the field in what was a very satisfactory win. Final score: Naomh Fionnbarra 2-12(18) Clogherhead Dreadnots0-8(8)

Naomh Fionnbarra scorers: Máirtín Murphy 2-0, Bernard Osborne 0-4, Pádraig Murphy 0-3, Óisín McGee 0-2, Hugh Osborne 0-2.

Played in sunny conditions, excellent for football Naomh Fionnbarra B suffered defeat to Naomh Mairtin 1-10(13) to 0-10(10) in the Division 4 League Round 6 on Friday 3rd June. The Barrs started brightly with 2 good points from play by Pádraig Murphy one from the right wing and the other from the left. The Martins replied with 3 points in a row, 2 from frees. Back came the Finbarrs with points from Pádraig Murphy, free and Peter Markey from play after an outrageous dummy. The game was being played at a good pace and the Jocks made good inroads with 4 points in a row taking a 3 point lead. In this period some good defence from the Barrs back line kept the Monasterboice men further at bay. Hugh Osborne struck with a lovely point from his left foot after a move running the length of the pitch. The next attack saw a rasping shot from Pádraig Murphy tipped onto the bar and over for a point to reduce the lead to 1. Both sides swapped scores coming up to the end of the game with the Finbarrs score coming from Conor Osborne to end a lively half. Half time score Naomh Fionnbarra 0-7(7) Naomh Mairtin 0-8(8).

The Togher men started the second half brightly with a good long range score from Máirtín Murphy to level the scores. With the game now in the melting pot the Monasterboice men struck decisively with a goal and a point in quick succession. Scores were much harder to come by in this half and the Jocks struck again for the last time to increase their lead t 5. In fairness, to the Togher men they came back with a good point from Patrick McGrane after he made a good run down the left wing. This was followed up by a long range effort by Colin McGrane which was allowed to bounce over the bar. Both sides battled hard towards the end of the game with both sides missing chances. Final score Naomh Fionnbarra 0-10(10) Naomh Mairtin 1-10(13).

Div 2 League
On Saturday evening, Dundalk Gaels travelled to the Gaelic Grounds in Drogheda to take on the O’Raghallaighs. With both teams having being relegated last year from Division 1 and also drawn together in the group stages of the senior championship it promised to be an enthralling affair. The Gaels started brightest and opened up an early lead with half back David Moloney contributing with 2 early scores from play. With the home side playing a a very defensive formation, the Gaels probed for weaknesses and following some great inter-play, Derek Crilly broke through the home sides rear-guard and placed his shot in the bottom corner of the net to give the Gaels a commanding lead of 1-5 to no score. The home side would eventually get off the mark before half time with a brace of points. The Gaels continued to show their scoring prowess before the break and went in at half time on a lead of 1-8 to 0-2.

The Gaels now had the wind in the second half, and they continued where they left off in the first half to ensure the scoreboard kept ticking over. While not as high scoring as the first half, there was some entertaining football from both sides. The home side were in need of goals to try and close the deficit but they were unable to threaten the Gaels goals. At the other end, both Sean Fee and Gerard McSorley were denied when one on one by with the Rats goalie. Gaels did rattle the net in the second half but unfortunately for them it came via an attempted hand pass so it was ruled out. The final scoreline was 1-14 to 0-4 in favour of the Dundalk side. With both sides due to meet again shortly in the group stages of the Championship, they will both have learned alot from this encounter. The Gaels now turn their attentions to local rivals Dundalk Young Irelanders who they play on Friday night and they continue to push for promotion back to Division 1.

Gaels hosted St Pats in round 5 of the Division 1 Minor League on Monday night in a very competitive and enjoyable match.
Gaels started the game brightly against a stiff breeze and got the game off to a great start with a point in the first minute from Liam Lynch and this was followed by points from Mark Hannah, Conor Nicholson and Sean McGuire. Pats then got off the mark with three points of their own. Gaels extended their lead with another point from Mark Hannah but then Pats struck on the counter attack to score a goal and take a one point lead. In the lead up to half time the game was well balanced with Pats scoring three more points and Gaels responded with two well taken frees from Paul McCrave leaving the half time score Gaels 0-7, Pats 1-6.
The Gaels started the 2nd half well and scored and early point from half back Conor Nicholson and a free from Liam Lynch. Liam Lynch then scored two more points as momentum moved in the Gaels favour. However Pats responded with a point of their own to close the gap to the minimum and then followed up with their second goal of the game to open up a two point lead. Gaels reacted well to this set back and scored three points without reply from Sean McGuire, a Liam Lynch free and another Lynch point from play. Gaels were ahead again by a point at this stage 0-14 to 2-07. Pats responded with a point to bring the teams level. Gaels defending let them down again with a 3rd goal of the match conceded and Pats went into a three point lead. Gaels responded with two points from Sean McGuire and Liam Lynch but couldn’t get the vital score needed to get something out of the game. The Pats finished one point winners on a score of Gaels 0-16, Pats 3-08. Gaels will rue the missed chances they created in the second half particularly several goal opportunities but they battled hard and kept going until the end in a keenly contested match.

PSC Semi

Cooley Game On Tuesday evening, Dundalk Gaels travelled to Father McEvoy Park to take on Cooley Kickhams in the semi final of the Sheelan Cup. On a warm evening, both sides provided an entertaining affair which was fiercely contested as both sides looked to reach the first final of the year.

The Gaels got off to the worst possible start with a penalty being conceded inside the first minute of the game. The Gaels keeper, Paul Burke was however equal to the task at hand and pulled off a fine save to give his side a boost. The home side pushed on after this however and opened up a 1-4 to no score lead in the opening quarter. The goal coming via the boot of number 5 after he ghosted in at the back post untracked and blasted the ball to the roof of the net. The Gaels finally got off the mark with Derek Crilly and Sean McCann each pointing in the first half while corner forward Errol Boyle raised a green flag for the away side after beating his man in the corner and slotting his shot under the on-rushing Cooley net minder.The home side had a great chance to score their second goal of the half but Burke again denied them with a brave stop. Cooley had one further score in the half to leave the score in their favour of 1-5 to 1-2 at the break.

Cooley started the second half brightly and following a point from their midfielder they were unlucky to it the post following a well worked move down the left and when played across the goal, number 31 could only palm the ball off the post when the goal was wide open. They didnt however have to wait long until they got their second goal. Cooleys centre forward raised their second green flag when through on the Gaels goals. Sean Fee and Sean McCann continued to chip away at the home sides lead and Stephen Sharkey was denied by a fine stop from the Cooley keeper when he was through on goal. Cooley began to pick the Gaels off as the away side looked for that vital goal that they needed to bring them back within a score of the north Louth side. Burke was again on hand to make a brave stop from Cooley’s number 24 before McCann got the final point of the game as the referee blew it up for full time. The final score was 2-10 to 1-7. The home side move onto the semi final of the Sheelan Cup while the away side will now turn their focus back to the League and Championship.

Gaels: Paul Burke, Conor Morgan, Jamie Faulkner, James Lynch, Andrew Coleman, Eamonn Kenny, Adrian Rafferty, Derek Crilly (0-1), Sean McCann (0-4), Niall Hearty, Shane Rice, Stephen Sharkey, Stephen Murphy, Sean Fee (0-2f), Errol Boyle (1-0)

On Friday evening, Dundalk Gaels travelled down the Echo Road to take on local rivals, Clan na Gael in a Division 4 League encounter. This local derby had it all, goals galore, a red cards and chances for both sides to win right up until the final whistle!

The Gaels started brightest in the game and following a well taken goal by Stephen Sharkey they led by a couple of points midway through the first half. The Clans though came back at the Gaels and the Ramparts men had goalkeeper John Burlingham to thank for ensuring the green and golds didnt register a green flag in the first half. The remainder of the first half was a tight affair and the Gaels went in ahead at half time by 2 points on a score of 1-7 to 0-8.

It was the second half when the game really burst into life though. The Clans scored two quick goals in succession to put themselves ahead. Shortly after this the game was delayed for a period of time as one of their goalscorers, number 12, had to be stretchered off following an accidental collision near the Gaels 13 metre line. With the Gaels pushing forward to try and pull a goal back, the Clans struck another green flag to open up a sizeable lead. Yet again the Gaels continued to push but their hopes were given a major blow when midfielder Conor Morgan was sent off for a second bookable offence following an off the ball incident in the Clans square. The 14 men however raised their game and substitute Ronan Shields struck a goal for the away side to bring the game back to a one score affair. With the final whistle in sight, Stephen Sharkey had an opportunity right at the death to level proceedings following a great run. However, he dragged his shot wide of the far post with the keeper beaten. Not long afterwards, the referee blew the final whistle and the home side held on against the 14 men for a hard fought victory. The final score was Clans 3-13 Gaels 2-13.

Gaels: John Burlingham, Nicholas O’Callaghan, James Lynch, Shane Dorr, Adrian Rafferty (0-1), Gary Shevlin (0-1), Shane Rice (0-1), Niall Hearty (0-2), Conor Morgan, Dylan Martin (0-3), Paul McCarve (0-3), Stephen Sharkey (1-2), Matthew Agnew, Aaron Culligan, Jonathon Minnock

Subs: Ronan Shields (1-0)

Ardee Game
On Friday evening, Dundalk Gaels played host to St Marys of Ardee in a close and intriguing Division 4 encounter on the Ramparts. The opening quarter started well but began to turn bad for the home side. 2 disappointing goals were conceded which put the home side on the backfoot for the rest of the match. However, they were thrown a lifeline when a St Marys player was given a straight red card for an off the ball incident. The Gaels kept themselves in touch until half time and after the break 2 goals from the home side meant that the game was going to go down to the wire. The first goal came after some great interplay from the Gaels forwards, Stephen Sharkey rifled the back of the net. The second came via the penalty spot and the boot of midfielder Niall Hearty. He made no mistake and gave the Mary’s keeper no chance as he placed the ball to the keepers left. Unforunately for the Gaels, they never could quite reel in the heavy half time deficit and the Marys kept taking their scores at the other end to take a valuable 2 points in the race for the top 4 in Division 4. The Gaels now turn their attention to the next round against local rivals Clan na Gael next week.

On Wednesday evening, Dundalk Gaels took on the Westerns in the penultimate round of the Division 6 League. The Gaels were looking to take their first points off the season while the Westerns were looking to move towards the top 4 with a victory.

The away side got off the the best possible start when a high ball played in came off the crossbar and landed knidly into the full forwards arms and he gave Gaels goalkeeper no chance from inside the square. The Westerns built on this goal and added a few points before the home side made an impression on the scoreboard. The first goal came following some great work by Mikey Burke in the full forward line who dispossed the full back and took the ball around the keeper to raise a green flag for the home side. Shortly afterwards the second goal of the game for the home side came after some more good work by Burke and Adrian Rafferty made sure when he blasted the ball to the back of the net to leave the minimum in it, 1-5 to 2-1. Both sides continued to trade scores with some great efforts from Stephen Murphy and Dylan Martin ensuring that the Gaels stayed in touch at the half time whistle. At the whistle, the away side led 1-10 to 2-4.

The second half continued in the same vain as the first with both sides scoring impressively. The Westerns began to pull away from the home side following a spate of points midway through the second half but as the Gaels emptied their bench they created numerous opportunities but unfortunately for the home side they went for goal when taking a point may have been the better option. As the Gaels continued to press the away side began to pick them off on the break and opened up a 2 score lead. The Gaelshowever continued with their attacking style and their pressure did result in a variety of points scorers in the last 10 minutes. The goal they desperately needed never arrived and the Westerns ended up as victors on a scoreline of 1-20 to 2-10.

The Gaels played some very impressive football at times and all across the pitch they had performers who didnt deserve to lose. The Gaels now turn their attention to their last league game against Lann Leire before they look towards the Junior 2B Championship.

On Saturday evening, Dundalk Gaels travelled to the Gaelic Grounds in Drogheda to take on the O’Raghallaighs in a Division 6 league fixture.

The Gaels started brightly and opened the scoring with the opening 2 points from play. After 10 minutes, both sides were level at 0-3 apiece. The O’Raghallaighs began to take control of the res tof the half and caused the away side some problems with their fitness and scoring prowess. The Gaels however had chances too but were unable to put anything else on the scoreboard for the rest of the half apart from 1 more point. The home side scored 2 quick goals before the end of the half to go in at the break ahead on a scoreline of 2-9 to 0-4.

The second half was a very open affair with both sides playing good attacking football at times. The away side created numerous chances in front of the home sides goals but unfortuantely were never able to raise the green flag they badly needed. Alot of their best football came from running off the shoulder and their never say die attitude ensured the home side didnt have it all their own way.

The final score of 2-14 to 0-6 ensured the home side won but the scoreline didnt reflect the competitive nature of this Division 6 encounter.

PSC Quarter final
On Tuesday evening, in very warm conditions, the Dundalk Gaels entertained Division 1 team St Fechins in the Paddy Sheelan Cup Quarter Final.

The away side opened the scoring with their no 14 splitting the posts. This was however followed up by a number of wides by the away side while the home side began to settle. The main talking point of the first half was a goal from corner forward Sean Fee who reacted quickest when a Jason Clarke free came off the upright. Fee rose highest to punch the ball to back of the next to give the Gaels the upper hand in a tight first half. Further points from Clarke, Kevin McArdle, Derek Crilly and birthday boy Sean McCann meant the Gaels went in ahead on a scoreline of 1-4 to 0-6 at the break.

The second half was a close encounter with a lot of action around the middle third. The home side weren’t able to pull away with the Fechins keeping in touch via the free taking expertise of their number 8. As the game entered the last 10 minutes, the Gaels finally broke the away sides resolve. Firstly an excellently taken goal by Stephen Murphy who made no mistake from the edge of the square was quickly followed by another Murphy goal following a goal-mouth scramble. Stephen Sharkey fired home the Gaels 4th goal of the game before the referee called a halt to the proceedings.

The final scoreline of 4-7 to 0-9 didn’t reflect the competitive nature of the game in which both sides played open and entertaining football while the middle sectors of both sides provided some excellent exhibitions of high fielding.

Gaels: Stephen McLoughlin (0-2), Conor Morgan, Jamie Faulkner, Eamonn Kenny, David Connolly, Peter McGinnity, Adrian Rafferty, Derek Crilly (0-1), Sean McCann (0-1), Niall Hearty (0-1), Kevin McArdle (0-1), Sean Fee (1-0), Stephen Murphy (2-0), Jason Clarke (0-1)

Na Piarsaigh 1-15 Dundalk Gaels 1-5

On Monday evening, Dundalk Gaels Junior 2 team travelled to the Rock Road to take on local rivals and Division 6 high-flyers Na Piarsaigh. On a great night for football, played in perfect conditions, it was the visitors who started brighter. Corner forward Andrew Matthews rose highest to punch the ball to net to give the Gaels a great start. Both sides traded scores for the rest of the half with the home side gradually coming back into the game before taking the lead before half time. Half time arrived following a serious injury to a Na Piarsaigh player and the Gaels would like to wish him a speedy recovery.

On a hot evening, Na Piarsaigh began to use their bench to full effect and these fresh legs resulted in the home side opening up a sizeable lead. The Gaels however showed great heart and determination and never gave up. The continued to press and looked for goals to get themselves back into the game. Unfortunately they couldn’t fully capitalise on their opportunities while at the other end some good defending and strong saves from Conor McGahon in goals kept the game competitive. The final scoreline was in favour of the home side but the Gaels acquitted themselves very well against a strong home side.

Dundalk Gaels 2-6 Annaghaminnon Rovers 2-15

On Friday evening, Dundalk Gaels welcomed another of the high-flying Division 6 teams, Annaghminnon Rovers to the Ramparts for their second tough game in a week. The home side dominated the opening 10 minutes and created chance after chance but could only register 1 point for all their efforts. At the other end, the next 10 minutes saw the Stonetown men score 4 points and showed a deadly accuracy which they maintained throughout the contest. Gaels however rallied and following Mikey Burke being pulled down in the square, Brian McCabe made no mistake from the resulting penalty. Both teams scored a few more points each to go in at the break level on a scoreline of 1-4 to 0-7.

The second half followed a similar pattern to the Gaels game earlier in the week. A large bench was to benefit the away side as the fresh legs on a warm night re-energised Rovers. ” quick goals midway through the second half began to put day-light between the two sides in the favour of the visitors but once again the Gaels came back strongly and created numerous chances to get back into the game. Burke made the most of one of these with an effort rifling the top corner of the net to keep the Gaels hopes alive. While they could never claw back the deficit that was opened, the Gaels koet playing until the end and at times played some very entertaining direct football which caused their opponents many problems in their backline.

Division 1 League Round 9
Mattock Rangers 2-11
St Fechins 1-11

Mattock Rangers proved too strong for St Fechins in this Saturday evening game in Collon. Veteran Christy Grimes was the difference between the teams. He accounted for six of his side’s points and was the catalyst behind most of their attacks. Playing with the breeze the visitors opened the scoring through Paul King after the Mattock ‘keeper had saved a shot from Joe Corrigan. Grimes equalised before two points from Ronan Holcroft and a single from Ryan Sheridan stretched the Fechins lead. Collon replied with two points, then fisted home a goal after hesitancy in the Fechins defence. The visitors fought back and scored four points in four minutes, frees from Holcroft, Ryan Sheridan and two excellent long range points from Joe Corrigan, to go two up. Grimes truck again either side of half time to draw level before Paul King restored the Fechins lead. A goal and four points from the Collon men in the next seven minutes sealed their victory. Even though Paul Mathews pulled a goal back and Corrigan scored two more outstanding points from play, St Fechins were chasing the game. A 45’ from Grimesand a further Collon point finished the scoring. The home sides ability to take their opportunities was the difference between the teams. A series of excellent saves by Fechins keeper Mark Savage could only delay the final result

Paddy Sheelan Cup Quarter Final
Dundalk Gaels 4-7
St Fechins 0-9

St Fechins travelled to Dundalk on a sunny Tuesday night to face the Gaels. St Fechins started brightly with a point from John McGlew inside the first minute. These were followed up by two more from Eoghan Duffy. However St Fechins were rocked at the midpoint of the half by a series of scores from the Gaels. Kevin McArdle got them off the mark with a point, and when a free came back off the post Sean Fee fisted it to the net, Sean McCann finished off the Gaels busy few minutes with a point of his own. St Fechins fought back and narrowed the gap with three points from Ryan Sheridan before half time, but two more points from the Gaels kept them in front at half time by 1-4 to 0-6.

The Gaels had a bright start to the second half, scoring two points in two minutes, but two more Sheridan points kept St Fechins in touch. A goal chance for St Fechins Joe Corrigan could have had a huge impact on the game but the shot went inches wide. The sides traded points again with Duffy for St Fechins and Hearty for the Gaels each knocking scores over. The momentum changed in the final five minutes of the match. A high ball into the Fechins square from Derek
Crilly was fisted home by Stephen Murphy. Minutes later after a Fechins attack broke down, a counter-attack from the Gaels resulted in a second for Murphy. While in the final minute of play substitute Stephen Sharkey hit his sides fourth goal of the night.

Division 1 League Round 8
St Fechins 1-5
Newtown Blues 1-18

Buoyed by their away victory to St Pats last week, St Fechins welcomed Newtown Blues to Beaulieu in the hope of repeating the drubbing they gave the Drogheda team last year. Alas, for the locals it was a sharp, fit and slick Blues outfit that outplayed the Termonfeckin men from start to finish. By the time Ronan Holcroft kicked his first point in the eighteenth minute the Blues already had six on the board, thanks in most part to Colm Judge and Hugh McGinn. It didn’t help the locals cause when Niall McCabe went off injured midway through the half. Tom Burke raided from defence and sent over a great point to narrow the gap, but the Blues replied with three of their own. With half time approaching, Holcroft cut through the Blues defence only to be dragged to the ground in the square. The Fechins man cooly slotted the penalty to Blues net to leave the half time score reading 0-9 to 1-2.

Whatever hope the Fechins supporters had of a comeback was short-lived when Judge and McGinn tapped over two frees to extend their lead to six. The Blues were to kick four further points from play before Ronan Holcroft got his first of three points in the second half. By the time the Blues got their goal in injury time the game as a contest was well over.

St Fechins:
Mark Savage, Donal Ryan, David Collier, Niall Carolan, Tom Burke 0-1, Niall McCabe, Gerry Campbell, Bevan Duffy, Ryan Sheridan, Brian Devlin, Eoghan Duffy, Paul King, Danny Burnell, Harry McArdle, Ronan Holcroft 1-4

Subs: Paddy McCormack for N. McCabe, Harry McCarthy for D. Burnell

FT Geraldines 1-14 to St Patrick’s 1-07

HT Geraldines 1-05 to St Patrick’s 0-03

Darrin Kearney, Tiarnan Hand, Jams Craven, Ryan Trainor, Josh Arrowsmith, Nicky Mackin, Paul Clarke, Matt Corcoran, Shaun Callan, Shane O’Hanlon, Conall Hoey, Michael Rogers, Dara Hamill, Jim Mc Eneaney, Glen Trainor.

Scorers : G Trainor 1-02, Arrowsmith 0-01, McEneaney 0-04, Hamill 0-02, C Hoey 0-03, Rogers 0-01, O’Hanlon 0-01,

Subs : Gareth Neacy for James Craven, Sean Thornton for Josh Arrowsmith, Paddy Hoey for Nicky Mackin

Yellow cards : Arrowsmith and Hoey.

In a lovely sunny evening in Lordship Pats have the first wide of the game after quick 45 in 1st minute. For the other side Conall Hoey opens the scoring for Gers and the game with a combination of McEneaney Rogers and finally off the boot of Hoey in the 3rd minute.

Great defending by Craven before Hamill doubles Gers lead with Hamill free but McEneaney is unlucky as his shot hits the post. Great defending again by Craven but McEneaney misses point from free and Pats go back up the field to open their account with point from play.

Gers are defending well and Callan with wide for Gers in 13th but a poor kick out from Pats and a strong Hamill challenge results in Gers GOAL after well placed shot by Glen Trainor.

After 15 minutes Gers lead 1-02 to 0-01

Arrowsmith is on the score board for Gers with fine point from play in 17th minute from outside of the right boot but Pats hit straight back with a point from a free and another from a free in 25th minute.

Great defending by Gers and Clarke, straight up the field from Arroswmith to Hamill to Trainor who shoots for goal but settles for a point. McEneaney adds another point from a free to take his tally to 2 on the night in 28th minute. Gers go in after the first half leading by five but it could have been more.

HT Gers 1-05 to St Pats 0-03

Corner forward Glen Trainor opens the second half with a point in 31st minute. Pats reply with a point from free in 34th minute and follow that with a fine point from play in 35th followed by GOAL a minute later. During this purple patch Pats make it a one point game. It is Ray Finnegan and his runs making all the difference for the home side.

Rogers doubles the lead again for the visitors with a fisted point in 41st minute but again Pats hit back with a point from play in 45th minute. After 45 mins only 1 point between the sides 1-7 to 1-6.

In fairness to the Gers the rally again and McEneaney doubles Gers lead again a minute later before great defending by Conal Hoey leads to a super point from play by Hamill with just 12 minutes to go. McEneaney then puts 4 between the sides. O’Hanlon makes sure he is on the scoreboard with point from play in 53rd.

Conall Hoey then puts Gers 6 clear with 5 minutes to go after great support play by Paul Clarke. Corner forward Hamill gets on the end of a long range and arguably point of the half before Pats with point from play at full time. There is time for just one more score from 40 yards man Conal Hoey with point from play 1 minute into injury time and that it is the final kick of the game.

Final score is 1-14 to 1-7 and Gers have another good result away from home.

Division 1 League Round 7
St Patricks GFC 0-12
St Fechins GAA 2-8

St Fechins travelled to Lordship with the knowing they had their two county men, Ronan Holcroft and Bevan Duffy, available for the first time this year. This proved vital as they contributed 1-7 between them. It was Holcroft who opened the scoring after a minute. The Pats however, slowly started to dominate proceedings. Points from Karl Rice, Paddy Keenan, Ray Finnegan and Daniel O’Connor saw them sail into a five points to one lead. Two great saves by Mark Savage kept the Fechins in the game. A Fechins attack saw Bevan Duffy shrug off two defenders and plant the ball into the Pats net. Two minutes later Paul King put over a point from forty metres to level the game. It was nip and tuck from then until half time. Paddy Keenan kicked three close in frees, but the visitors struck back with two long range points from play from Duffy and Holcroft to leave the minimum between the teams at half time, 0-8 to 1-4.

Paddy Keenan and Daniel Rice extended the Pats lead early in the second half but these were quickly cancelled out by Holcroft. Conor Grogan and Daniel O’Connor extended the lead to three points with ten minutes to go. Things did not look to good for the visitors as they had also lost Colm O’Neill and Niall Devlin to injury. But great credit must go to the Fechins for not throwing in the towel. A free from Holcroft late in the game left two between the sides. From the kickout Ronan Holcroft gained possession on the left wing and sent over a fantastic point to reduce the deficit to one point. In injury time Bevan Duffy kicked a high ball into the Pats square, full forward Jamie King soared highest and cooly punched the ball into the Pats net. As the Fechins supporters celebrated, the Pats launched their last attack. A final brilliant save by Mark Savage denied the Pats and ensured two very valuable points for St Fechins.

Division 3 football league.
Dowdallshill 2-4, Lannleire 0-18.
Lannleire retained their place at the top of the league when they inflicted a 8 point defeat on their hosts in St Bridgets Park on Saturday evening.
The home side began brightly against the breeze, with corner forward Aidan McCabe finding the net inside the opening 3 mins but the visitors soon got back on terms and lead by 1 at half time, 0-6 to 1-2. The Hill points coming from McCabe and Noel Finnegan.
Aidan McCabe repeated the dose with an early goal 5 mins into the second half but unfortunately for his side the visitors had already kicked 4 points by then.
From then to the end it was mostly Lannleire and they kicked some good points to take their total to an impressive 18 over the hour. The Dowdallers second half points came from a Noel Finnegan free and a fisted effort by sub Chris McMahon.
Dowdallshill team and scorers; Gary Corrigan; Ridwan Bodunrin, Vincent Roe, Peter Begley; Emmet o Brien, Paul Flynn, Sean Duffy; Stephen Hoey, Eamonn Duffy; Noel Finnegan (0-2), Sean McGuinness, Dermot Smith; Aidan McCabe(2-1), Anthony Quinn, Darren Rogers.

The weekend of 20th May 2016 proved to be a great success for Cooley Kickhams were a bumper filled of events took place. On Friday 20th May it all kicked off with our annual Cooley Coast Run 10k and 5k were over 400 runners and walkers competed. A huge thank you to our Coast Run committee, all the competitors and the marshals for making the Coast Run another great success. It was great to see such a great turn out and your help in making it a safe and enjoyable event in challenging conditions is very much appreciated. Once again huge thanks to our main sponsors Open Hydro for their continued support.

On Saturday 21st May Fr McEvoy park was the place to be when the Convoy to Cooley with Nathan Carter took place in our specially built marquee. At 4pm over 100 lorries and trucks, old and new assembled at Ballymac and headed for Cooley with Nathan Carters own lorry leading the Convoy. What a sight it was when they all arrived in Cooley honking their horns in convoy, it truly was an amazing scene. Once the lorries were parked up for the night it was down to the main event of the evening, Nathan Carter live in the marquee. It really was an amazing sight, red carpet greeted those in attendance, big screens both inside and outside ensured that everyone had the perfect view. Gravity School of dancing took the floor shortly after 8pm and put on a superb show. With the crowds coming in there droves Matt Leavy took to the stage and had the crowd buzzing. Then shortly after 10pm the moment finally arrived when Irelands number one country singer Nathan Carter took to the stage in Cooley much to the delight of the crowd in attendance. Hits like Long Time Gone, to the beautiful Caledonia and of course Wagon Wheel had the young and old singing and dancing all night long. Cooley Kickhams would like to thank all those that helped in any way possible in making this the great success it was. To all those that acted as stewards on the night, to the bar staff who worked so tirelessly, to the girls that collected the tickets and to the local Red Cross who were present on the night we say a big thank you. Cooley Kickhams would also like to thank Peter Hanlon for his time and effort in making this the success it was, without him this wouldn’t be possible. A huge thank you to Derek McGarrity who managed our bar superbly all week end.

The truck show continued on Sunday where all lorries old and new parked up for display. Everyone had there lorry in immaculate condition with lorries coming from near and far. Once the judging was completed it was time to move back into the marquee where Marty Mone, who arrived by helicopter had both young and old jiving all evening. The truck show proved to a great success. Cooley Kickhams would like to thank the main organizers Brendan Sheelan and Peter Hanlon for their time and effort in making this possible.

Convoy to Cooley 2016 most certainly was a massive success for Cooley Kickhams. We would like to thank everyone that turned up over the week end and hope you all had a great time. Convoy to Cooley 2017 ???????

St Mochtas Club Notes May 21st

Division 2 league

St.Mochtas V Clans
13th May

Final score- St. Mochtas 2-10 Clans 1-13

Fergus English; Liam Lawlor, David Lennon, Donal Gernon; Gareth O’ Reilly, Darren Mc Mahon, Cormac Callan; Shane Mc Mahon, Declan Byrne (1-07, 5″f); Liam Mc Grenaghan, Danny Kindlon (0-01), Ultan Larney (0-01); Nigel Farrell (1-00),Eamon O’Neil, Barry Mullholland.

Subs- Gavin Breen for Ultan Larney, Brendan Duff for Nigel Farrell, Tommy Kindlon for Donal Gernon.

Conor Noonan opened the game with a pointed free for the Clans. Decky respond with one from play but the clans slotted over another two frees. Decky found the posts again with a free. A point from play from Ultan Larney helped to equalise the teams at 3 points each with 24 minutes gone. From here the Mochtas pushed on the Clans defence and hit the back of the net. The clans also had a goal chance, hoping to level the sides again, only for it to soar over the bar. The teams both traded points from here and entered the dressing room on a scoreline of St. Mochtas 1-06 Clans 0-05.

A long ball from Darren Mc Mahon found the hands of Nigel Farrell, he turned and buried it into the top right and gave the Louth Village side a 5point lead with the opening score of the second half. Robbie Curran was the first of the Clans side to score and followed quickly with another free. Another Byrne point maintained the lead, as the Clans slotted over one more. Fergus English pulled off a safe stopping a penalty, but the deflection was slotted in to narrow the gap to 2 points. Two frees from Byrne stretched the gap back to 4. This was short lived as another 3 points from the Clans meant a kick of the ball could finish the game at a draw. Robbie Curran stepped up to the plate and put over another Clans free to do exactly that. Darren Mc Mahon scored a superb point from near the sideline on the left, but it wasn’t enough as Curran scored another free and the final whistle blew.

Naomh Fionnbarra G.F.C.

Played in breezy, sunny conditions Naomh Fionnbarra played Hunterstown Rovers in the seventh round of the Division 2 League at John Markey Park, Ballygassan on Saturday evening. Hunterstown with the breeze at their backs made the brighter start with a point after a period of dominance where they missed a few opportunities. The Barrs were struggling to gain a decent foothold in the game until a vital interception from Máirtín Murphy led to a breakway move that was decisively finished to the net by Murphy himself, his 3rd in as many games. This gave the Finbarrs some momentum as they scored via the boot of Óisín McGee. Hunterstown fought back and scored a 4 points of their own to regain the lead. The Barrs were often over elaborating in attack and sometimes took too much out of the ball as these advances fizzled out. This was epitimoised in the middle of the half where some of the forwards tried to work a goal which didn’t come off and Rovers broke down the field to score a good point from long range. The Togher men did keep in touch with another point from play from McGee and a Bernard Osborne free. Hunterstown responded with a couple of points of their own to leave the half time score: Naomh Fionnbarra 1-3(6) Hunterstown Rovers 0-8(8).

The second half began in similar fashion to the first with the sides trading scores, the Finbarrs points coming from the Osborne brothers Stuart, with an excellent long range point and Bernard, from a free. The Togher backs were coming to grips with the Huntertsown attack as men were putting their bodies on the line. This was evident where the very reliable keeper Shane O’Brien was beaten for once but who else only Bryan Sharkey deflected the shot over the bar with his head! Another Osborne, this time Hugh scored a good point from play from the right wing to reduce the lead to 1. Hunterstown replied with a free and once again Osborne nailed a long range free to leave it still, a one point game. The Finbarrs took the game by the scruff at this stage as they began to dominate the middle third. This was reflected on the scoreboard with another excellent Stuart Osborne long range point to level the game. The Barrs were fighting hard and a Hunterstown attack was broken up by Pádraig Butterly who started a move down the left wing which involved some neat interplay between Conor Lenihan and Pádraig Murphy resulting in a fisted point by Lenihan to give the Barrs the lead at a vital stage. The game was put beyond doubt by Bernard Osborne was a brilliant free from the sideline on the left wing to leave the final score: Naomh Fionnbarra 1-10(13) Hunterstown Rovers 0-11(11)

Naomh Fionnbarra scorers: Bernard Osborne 0-4, Máirtín Murphy 1-0, Stuart Osborne 0-2, Óisín McGee0-2, Hugh Osborne 0-1 & Conor Lenihan 0-1.

On Saturday evening Dundalk Gaels travelled to Dromiskin to take on St Josephs in Round 5 of the Division 2 league. With both teams harbouring promotion aspirations it promised to be a tight affair.

The opening half started with both sides trading early points but the major turning point of the game came half way through the first half when the St Josephs corner back was sent off for striking Gaels centre half Derek Crilly. At this stage the Dundalk men began to take the upper hand with Anthony McSorley and Jason Clarke both industrious in the forward line for the Gaels. At the other end keeper John Burlingham had to be alert to stop a certain goal when left one on one with the Joes corner forward. The Gaels went in at half time ahead on a scoreline of 0-7 to 0-4.

The 14 men of Dromiskin never let their heads drop and continued to trouble the Gaels in the second half but were left to rue some costly efforts dropping short. With 2 points in the game, McSorley was fouled inside the square and the Gaels midfielder Sean McCann stepped up to take the resulting penalty. McCann made no mistake from the spot and put the ball high and over the bar the open up a 3 point cushion for the Gaels. The Gaels maintained their 3 point cushion and saw out the game to extend their unbeaten run to 4 games in the league.

The game was a well fought match and both sides contributed to an entertaining encounter and displayed good open football at times while also showing great defensive resolve when needed.

Gaels: John Burluingham, Eamonn Kenny, Jamie Faulkner, David Connolly, Oisin Murray, Derek Crilly (0-2), Peter McGinnity, Dean Hoey, Sean McCann (0-2), Gerard Fee, Jason Clarke (0-5), Shane Rice, Anthony McSorley (0-3), Stephen Murphy, Stephen Sharkey

Subs: Chris Sweeney, Sean Fee, Sean Murray

On Sunday morning, Dundalk Gaels travelled away to play the John Mitchels in Division 6 of the Louth adult leagues.

The Mitchels scored a goal within the opening minutes which gave them a great start. The Gaels however began to play their way into the game and scored 3 successive points including two great efforts from John Sharkey and Padraig Kearney to bring the game back to a draw. The Mitchels, playing with a slight wind began to make better use of their possession and soon opened up a lead following 5 successive unanswered points. The Gaels didnt let their head drop but were unable to make any headway on the scoreboard. The Gaels then conceded 2 soft goals before a controversial penalty was given to the home side which resulted in their 4th goal of the half.

The second half started similar to the end of the first half and the difficult conditions resulted in a further goal for the home side. The Gaels were beginning to cause trouble in their opponents half with their direct running style but unfortunately for them, they lacked compuse in front of the goals and could only muster one point from numerous goal chances that they created. At the other end, two further fortuitous goals meant the Gaels were never going to reel in the home side. The final score didnt reflect the competiveness of the match.

The Gaels will now turn their attentions to their next game at home following 2 difficult away matches.

Gaels: Cormac Kearney, Stephen McSorley, Conor McCann, Sean McArdle, Ian McSorley, Adam Brannigan, Daire Shields, David Connolly, Shane Dorr, John Sharkey, Gerard Lawless, Padraig Kearney, Danny Watters
On Saturday evening, Dundalk Gaels entertained St Patricks in the third round of the Division 4 league. The Gaels were hoping to get back to winning ways following a loss against Naomh Finnbarrs the previous week.

The Gaels started strongly and took up the early running with some well taken scores through a variety of players. The Gaels went in at half team ahead thanks to a goal from the boot of Stephen Sharkey.

The Gaels continued their good form in the second half and opened up a sizeable lead. The Pats to their credit kept trying and it took two good saves from net minder John Burlingham to keep the Lordship side out.

Overall it was an entertaining encounter with both sides playing good football at different times throughout the game.

The Gaels had strong performances all across the pitch including Oisin Murray, Anthony McSorley, Paul McCrave, Stephen Sharkey and Ciaran Carter

St Fechins Club Notes May

Division 1 League Round 6
Geraldines 4-12
St Fechins 3-4

A goal by the Gers Glen Trainor in the first minute set the scene for this Division 1 clash played in Haggardstown. Trainor bagged his second goal shortly after and a third goal by Conall Hoey in the tenth minute left the Fechins reeling. A point by Danny Burnell was followed by a converted penalty from Jamie King for the visitors. The Gers piled on the pressure and kicked five more points including two 45’s from Michael Rogers before half time. At half time the score was 3-6 to 1-1.

The Fechins, shorn of many regulars, regrouped at the beginning of the second half. Two Burnell points were followed by an Eoghan Duffy goal. Gers keeper Darren Kearney made three excellent stops and his outfield players tapped over three points to maintain their advantage. Jamie King knocked over a free and a minute later rattled the Gers net to leave just six points in it. But that was as close as St Fechins would get. Gareth Neacy goaled and Josh Arrowsmith pointed to deny any chance of a comeback. Shaun Callan finished the Gers scoring with his third point of the night.

St Fechins: Mark Savage, Donal Ryan, David Collier, Niall Carolan, Paddy McCormack, Brian Devlin, Harry McArdle, Ryan Sheridan, Paul King, Harry McCarthy, Colm O’Neill, Padraig O’Donoghue, Eoghan Duffy, Jamie King, Danny Burnell
Subs: Brendan Fanning for P. McCormack

Scorers:
Jamie King 2-1 (1-1f)
Eoghan Duffy 1-0
Danny Burnell 0-3 (0-2f)

Division 1 League
St Fechins 3-12
O’Connells 2-15

This was a rip roaring encounter played in ideal conditions in Pairc Naomh Feichin. The Fechins were first out of the blocks and and had three points on the board in five minutes. The O’Connells replied with two of their own before goals by Jamie King and Danny Burnell gave the locals an eight point lead . Points by C.Doyle and N Conlon narrowed the gap but two excellent points from play by Paul King and Brian Devlin saw the Fechins lead by eight points at halftime.
As the second half got under way D.Burnell and Ryan Sheridan popped over two more points and it looked like there was going to be only one winner. Even when S.Reynolds punched a goal after five minutes the Fechins resorted their eight point lead with a Sheridan point. Devlin and Conlon exchanged points before the O’Connells fightback began. In a six minute spell they scored 1-4, C. Doyle with the goal and Robert Quigley with the points. A Niall Carolan goal restored the Fechins lead to four but Quigley banged over three to keep the pressure on. J.King got a brace but Reynolds, Quigley,and Conlon brought it back to a minimum. It was Quigley who equalised two minutes in injury time. A great game for the neutral but both sides will see it as a game they could have won.

St Mochta’s Club Notes May

St.Mochtas V DYI
7th May Pairc Mochta
Referee: Jonathan Conlon

DYI were unlucky not to score a goal with their second attack of the game, a great save by Fergus English deflected it over the bar. Two Mochtas frees from Eamon O’Neil left it 2 a piece with 6minutes gone. Two frees for the town side have them a two point lead, with Johnny Breen slotting over another one from play to increase it to 3. Another 4 points from play and a free meant it was DYI’s half and they went into the dressing room with a 6point lead. Shane Mc Mahon was the only one of the Louth Village men to score from play.

Half time: St. Mochtas 0-04 DYI 0-10

Both sides started the second half with pointed frees. Jordan O’ Donoghue got a straight red and the Young Irelanders were down to 14 men. They scored another 2points but were denied another goal, English pulling off another great save. A goal found its way to the back of the net after a fumble due to a Liam Kindlon shot. This and a Farrell point narrowed the gap to 4. Danny Kindlon slotted another one and Liam Kindlon pointed a free to narrow it to 2 with 5minutes left to go. This is the way it stayed with neither side scoring again.

Final score- St. Mochtas 1-10 DYI 0-15

The Plunketts replied with a point of their own but were wayward with a few other chances after good pressure from the Finbarrs backs. Wing back Bryan Sharkey scored an excellent point from the right wing after some patient recycling of the ball. Bernard Osborne then scored a well taken point from play, to which the Plunketts replied with a point of their own. Another Jack Butterly point and Osborne free had the Barrs ahead by 5 but sdisaster struck as the Plunketts were awarded a penalty, which was duly depatched to the back of the net. the final socre of the half was a nicely judged Pádraig Butterly point from the left wing.

The Barrs made the brighter start to the second half with a goal in response to a Plunketts single after an excellent run by Jack Butterly who laid it on a plate for Máirtín Murphy to score. Even with plenty of possession the Finbarrs started to struggle for scores and the Plunketts slowly ate into their 5 point lead with a couple more points. A miss hit shot from one of the Plunketts forwards Stephen Keeley was fumbled by goal keeper Shane O’Brien and the rebound was smashed into the back of the net to level the game. The Plunketts followed this up with a point to take a 1 point lead. The Togher lads to their credit got back up the field and replied via another Osborne free, to tie the game. Try as they might the Togher men could not score again as a number of balls were dropped short into the Plunketts square and a couple of good goal chances were missed including a fisted effort that came off the crossbar with Andy McCann’s first touch. The Plunketts managed to close out the game with a couple of points. Final score: Naomh Fionnbarra 1-9(12) Oliver Plunketts 2-8(14).

The Clans finished the half stronger with a coupl of points to lead by 2. Half time score: Naomh Fionnbarra 0-3(3) Clan na Gael 0-5(5).

Both sides made a poor start to the second half kicking numerous wides as neither side looked like they wanted to win the game. The Clans eventually grabbed the game by the scruff and scored 4 points in a row to take a commanding 6 point lead. The Finbarrs were lethargic up to this however they got off the mark for the second half with another McGee free. This seemed to give the team some life as Máirtin Murphy scored another point. He followed this up with a goal after a good move down the right wing. The Togher men were back in the game and the Clans held only a slender 1 point lead. The Clans replied almost instantly with a free to increase the lead to 2 and try as they might the Barrs could not score the goal that they needed. The Clans broke down the field at the end of the game to score the final point of the game. Final score: Naomh Fionnbarra 1-5(8) Clan na Gael 0-11(11).

Naomh Fionnbarra scorers: Máirtín Murphy 1-3, Óisin McGee 0-2.

Pearse Og Club Notes April

Underage Games:

Our under 8’s were in Darver last Saturday for an exhibition game at half time in the Lory Meagher

Cup match between Louth and Sligo. The boys and girls showed great effort and skill in their display

with many remarking afterwards it was better than the senior game.

On Wednesday night all roads lead back to Darver as our under 12’s competed in the Louth Coaching

and Games blitz. With an under 8 football blitz on at the same time there were over 400 kids in

attendance on a great night for underage GAA in the county.

The hurling blitz consisted of 4 teams, St.Feichins, St Kevins , Naomh Moninne and ourselves,. The

first round we played against St. Feichins, in an excellent game there was great play from both teams

with some wonderfully taken scores throughout the pick of the bunch coming from Tiarnan Myles

who blasted to the top corner after great work from Ronan Reid and Aidan O’Brien further out the

field.

After the first game the kids were taken to a quick skill instruction session delivered by current

Louth manager Dee McCarthy and our very own senior county players Gerard Smyth and Gary O

Brien. The boss were put through their paces on the importance of the basics and doing the simply

things well and a few of the lads caught the eye of the county manager during the evening.

Our second game was the town derby against Naomh Moninne and it was a classic encounter with no

quarter given with Fionnan McGurk scoring a great point off a solo run only for the referee to call it

back to inform him there was no soloing allowed. Moninnes free taker was on top form slotting over

a free nice frees before Aidan O Brien answered with a free of his own which he smashed to the net

from 30 yards (even though he was told to knock it over the bar). Good work from the Reid brother

Ronan and Seamus lead to several scores for the forward line of Ryan Boland and Tiarnan Myles who

were causing havoc all night. In true Ryan fashion he even argued with the referee for giving a score

for Ryan.

The final game was against St Kevins and the Louth manager had a close up view of the boys in

action as he reffed the game. He was no Kevin Brady but he did a good job and the boys turned

around a 2 goal deficit at half time to end up the victors, again Ryan and Tiarnan got great scores and

Aidan was everywhere but a special mention must go to Nathan Browne who not only got his first

score for the club but it was a great strike off his so called weaker side that put the boys in front and

they never looked back.

Well done to all involved in the evening and a special thanks to Tonys Pizzeria for the sponsorship of

the new kit that had the boys the best looking team there on the night were 40 clubs from Louth

were represented.

Underage training has been moved this week to Sunday morning at 11-12 in DKIT pitches. Entry can

Played on a windy evening making it tough for football Naomh Fionnbarra played Dundalk Gaels in the fourth round of the Division 2 League at Dundalk Gaels pitch on Tuesday evening. The Gaels made a brighter start to the game when playing into the elements they scored an early goal. The Barrs too a wee while to get going however they got on the scoreboard via a nice Jack Butterly point. They followed this up with 2 more points a long range effort from John Doyle and a point from the left wing by Pádraig Butterly. The Gaels sscored a point of their own in reply to hold a 1 point lead. A long ball by Óisín McGee into full forward Darren McConnon paid dividends when the caught cleanly and turned and fired a low shot into the bottom corner of the Gaels net, giving the Finbarrs the lead for the first time. Stout defending was the order of the day at the other end as the Togher backs repelled the attacks from the Dundalk men with Osbornes, the McGranes and Conor Lenihan to the fore. Both sides traded scores at the end of the first half, the Finbarrs point coming from a well struck Stuart Osborne long range effort. At the end of the half the Gaels full forward was very lucky not to receive his marching orders for a strike to corner back Hugh McGrane. Half time score: Naomh Fionnbarra 1-4(7) Dundalk Gaels 1-2(4).

The Dundalk men made the better start to the second half with a quick point straight from the throw in to reduce the lead to a single point. This was a setback for the Barrs however they scored the next via a Benrard Osborne free. Jack Butterly followed this up with an overhead kicked point to give the Finbarrs a 3 point lead. The Gaels to their credit came back and scored 3 points in a row the first 2 being good long range points and the third from a free to level the game. At this stage against the elements the Barrs were under severe pressure to keep the Dundalk men at bay. The lads kept their composure and after some patient build up play of over 15 passes Stuart Osborne made the incisive run through the Gaels defence and kicked a ball into the square where is was fisted over the bar by Darren McConnon, giving the Togher men a one point lead going into the final stages of the game. After an extraordinary long period of injury time the referee gave the Gaels a close in free for an alleged lift ball by one of the Finbarrs backs, which was a very dubious call. The Gaels equalised from the free to share the spoils. Final score: Naomh Fionnbarra 1-7(10) Dundalk Gaels 1-7(10).

Naomh Fionnbarra scorers: Darren McConnon 1-1, Jack Butterly 0-2, Bernard Osborne 0-1, John Doyle 0-1, Pádraig Butterly 0-1 & Stuart Osborne 0-1.

Dundalk Gaels Club Notes April

Div 2
On Tuesday evening, the fourth round of Division 2 took place on the Ramparts, with the Gaels looking to build on their previous 2 wins with a home game against Naomh Finnbarra, who had lost their first three league games of the year.
Playing against a strong wind in the first half, the Gaels made better start. A point each from Jason Clarke and Sean Murray seemed to settle the Gaels before Clarke added a wonderful goal following some good play by the Gaels forwards. However, the wind was soon to become a factor as the Finnbarrs started to use it to their advantage. Their goal in the first half came following a long ball into the full forward line and the Finnbarrs number 14 made no mistake following a good catch as he gave Gaels keeper Paul Burke no chance to put the Barrs ahead for the firs time in the game. The points in the first half for the away side came from number 8, 11, 12 and 15 as they went in ahead at half time on a scoreline of 1-4 to 1-2.
The Gaels came out determined in the second half and an early point from Sean McCann seemed to be the perfect remedy to a slow first half for the Dundalk men. However, they were never able to fully capitalise on the wind and the second half was a very tight affair although Clarke did add two more scores during the half along with a great effort from half back Oisin Murray. The Barrs number 15 kicked 2 more points along with a solitary score from the nunber 10 which put the Barrs ahead in the dying minutes of the game. The Gaels to their credit never gave up and they came back up the field looking for the equalising point. And they were presented with a great opportunity as 2 Finnbarrs defenders fouled the ball on the ground to give Clarke a chance to draw the game level. He made no mistake and the levelled the game at 1-7 apiece. The referee blew the whistle following the kickout to bring to a close a tight game and both sides shared the spoils.
Gaels: Paul Burke, Eamon Kenny, Jamie Faulkner, David McComish, Oisin Murray (0-1), Derek Crilly, Peter McGinnity, Sean McCann (0-1), James Stewart, Gerard Fee, Gerard McSorley, Shane Rice, Sean Murray(0-1), Errol Boyle, Jason Clarke (1-4)

Gaels minors took on St Kevins / Glyde in round 3 of the minor league on Monday night in the ramparts. Kevins started the game well and created all of the early chances which they failed to convert. They got a great opportunity to get themselves off the mark when they were awarded a penalty after five minutes but a great save from Kaylem Gorham and another from the follow up denied Kevins. Kevins were able to create another goal chance soon afterwards and they made no mistake on this occasion to take an early lead. They followed this with a couple of quick points. Gaels got off the mark with a free from Paul McCrave and well taken point from Jordan Keating. Kevins had the better of the exchanges leading up to half time and led by 2-6 to 0-4 at that stage with Gaels scores coming from Paul McCrave who added to his early free with two more well taken frees.

The Gaels started the second half well and created some good early chances but they failed to convert them and Kevins responded by taking a few early chances to increase their lead. The Gaels battled hard throughout the 2nd half but were unable to close the gap and Kevins continued to take the chances they created and finished up well deserved winners on a final score of 2-12 to 0-8. Gaels second half scorers were Paul McCrave with 2 frees, Conor Morgan from a 45 and Conor Nicolson.

Best for the Gaels on a disappointing night were full back line of Stephen Rylands, Ronan O’Callaghan and Cian Kelly who battled hard all night. Paul McCrave and Conor Nicholson also performed well.

Div6
On Thursday evening, Dundalk Gaels travelled to Tallanstown to take on Glyde Rangers in the second round of the Division 6 League. On a wonderful evening for football both sides contributed to an entertaining match. While the scoreline favoured the home side there were many positives for the Dundalk men.

The game started in lightening fashion and after the Gaels missed the first opportunity of the match, at the other end, former Louth star David Devaney was adjudged to have been fouled inside the 14 metre line and the referee pointed to the penalty spot. The Glyde penalty taker made no mistake from the dead ball. The Gaels then began to find their rhythm and over the course of the first half, they began to dominate the middle third and caused alot of trouble when running directly at their opponents. They pulled it back to a one point game but a quick thinking goal from a Gaels kick-out opened up a sizeable lead for the home side who then followed up with their third goal of the game when the ball was punched in at the back post. The Gaels continued to create chances but were unable to make the most of their opportunities and went in behind on a scoreline of 3-4 to 0-6.

The second half was another open affair and both sides playing good attacking football. Both sides also made changes and unfortunately for the visiting side they were unabe to close the gap in the second half. They did score a goal via the boot of Brian McCabe following a mix up between the Tallanstown goalie and full back. Another goal chance was well saved by the home keeper and some troubling balls into the square by the Dundalk side did cause consternation in the Glyde defence but to no end product. With the Gaels chasing the game, they were always vunerable to counter attacks and Glyde kept the scoreboard ticking over throughout the half. In the end the scoreline of 3-11 to 1-8 wasn’t a fair relfection on the efforts of the Ramparts men.

However, as mentioned, many positives to take from the game, particularly the half backs, midfield and half forwards who constantly caused their opponents trouble. Full back Pat also Crilly did well on former county player David Devaney who was a focal point of the attack for the home side. Conor Richardson and John Sharkey also contributed fine points each from distance in the first half.

Gaels: C McGahon, S Dorr, P Crilly, R Shields, A Brannigan, N Hand, C Richardson, B McCabe, J Needham, J Sharkey, M Burke, D Martin, S Traynor, S Derry, A Matthews

Subs: P Fisher, P Kearney, D Watters

U12
The under 12 Gaels had another hard fought victory over a strong and determined Cooley team in the ramparts on Friday evening last. The Gaels started strong and with the aid of the breeze went into a 6 point lead , with scores from Ryan Coleman, Preston Keating and Liam O’Connor. Cooley then scored a good goal and added a couple of points. In the second half the Gaels withstood a lot of pressure from Cooley and ended up winning the match. Best for Gaels in the second half Oran Mulligan, Chris Clarke, Oisin Woods and Oisin Coleman and Luke Conlon in goals did very well.

Dundalk Gaels MAtch Report

Hunterstown 1-9 Dundalk Gaels 2-8

On Tuesday evening, Dundalk Gaels travelled to the Louth Centre of Excellence, Darver, to take on Hunterstown Rovers in Round 3 of the Division 2 League.

The Gaels started brightly and Gerard McSorley opened the scoring with 2 points before Hunterstown replied with their opening point. The game then exploded into life when rampaging midfielder Dean Hoey rattled the back of the Rovers net with a rasping effort after a lung bursting run from midfield. The Gaels began to gain the upper hand a burst of 1-1 from full forward put the Gaels into a commanding lead. Both scores were carbon copies of each other with Boyle punching the ball over the bar for the first before punching the ball to the net for Dundalk sides second goal of the game. With McSorley adding another 2 points the Gaels were leading 2-5 to 0-5 just before half time. However, Hunterstown were thrown a lifeline when, a free on the 21m line was moved forward and the resultant free from the 14m line was taken quickly in which Hunterstown sharpshooter Ryan Burns fired the ball into the top corner of the Gaels goal. The referee blew the whistle to draw an end to an enthralling first half, the Gaels leading by one goal on a scoreline of 2-5 to 1-5.

Hunterstown began the second half with a strong breeze to their backs. However, they were unable to make the most of this and could never draw level with the Senior Championship side. While the deficit was reduced to the minimum, the levelling point was never scored. The second period failed to live up to the excitement of the first half but it was a tense end to a close match. McSorley added another 3 points to his tally, the final point being pick of the bunch. With only a point in it, he left 3 defenders for dead before slotting over to open up a 2 point lead again. Hunterstown had chances to draw level and potentially steal the 2 points but were unable to convert 3 late frees.

The final score was to read in favour of the Dundalk men, 2-8 to 1-9. With two wins in a row, the Gaels appear to have bounced back from their dismal opening display against the Clans and now concentrate their efforts on Naomh Finbarr on the 26th April.

Team: J Burlingham, J Lynch, J Faulkner, D McComish, O Murray, D Crilly, P McGinnity, D Hoey, J Stewart, G Fee, G McSorley (0-7), S Rice, S Murray, E Boyle (1-1), S Sharkey

Naomh Fionnbarra Club Notes 14th April

Played on a sunny evening with very mucky underfoot conditions making it a tough for football Naomh Fionnbarra played Dundalk Young Irelands in the third round of the Division 2 League at John Markey Park, Ballygassan on Wednesday evening. Naomh Fionnbarra suffered another tough defeat to make it 3 on the bounce. Both sides traded scores at the start of the game, the Finbarrs point coming from a Bernard Osborne free. The Young Irelands replied with a 3 of frees of their own to take a 3 point lead. Andy McCann then scored a lovely point from play from wide on the right wing and once again the Irelanders replied with a point. A goal from Darren McConnon lifted the siege as he scrambled the ball to the net from close range. Dean Maguire who had scored all of the Young Irelands frees had the last say of the half with another one from close range after the referee brought the ball froward for dissent. Half time score: Naomh Fionnbarra 1-2(5) Dundalk Young Irelands 0-6(6).

The Dundalk men made the better start to the second half with a quick point followed by a goal scored from close range after the ball came back off the Finbarrs crossbar. This was a major setback for the Barrs however they scored the next via another Benrard Osborne free. The game was picking up in pace even though the underfoot conditions were getting worse and both sides swaped scores, the Finbarrs effort coming from the boot of Óisin McGee on the right wing. At this stage Stuart Osborne was unlucky not to hit the back of the next as he dragged his low shot narrowly wide from close range.

Another Irelanders point was once again followed by a scrambled goal of their own as they took what seemed to be a commanding 8 point lead. Back came the Barrs however as Osborne lobbed over another free. Nicholas Butterly was also unlucky not to score a goal after the ball was palmed down to him by Darren McConnon and his shot from point blank range was saved by the Irelanders goalkeeper. The resulting 45m kick in by Bernard Osborne was fisted over the bar by Óisín McGee. Bernard Osborne did find the net soon after as he finishd the ball to the net after the ball was played across the Young Irelands goal. At this stage the momentum was with the Togher men and they were driving forward hard however mistakes by were stunting their progress. A long ball into the Irelanders square was palmed down by McConnon to Stuart Osborne who hooked over a point with his left foot. At this stage the Barrs had reduced the Young Irelnads lead to 2 points and were pushing hard for further scores. In the final minute Hugh Osborne drove forward through the Irelanders defence and blasted a shot off the post which was palmed to safety by the DYI goalkeeper. With the last throw of the dice Stuart lobbed in the resulting 45m kick into the square nut the Dundalk men stood strong and kept the ball out. Final score: Naomh Fionnbarra 2-7(13) Dundalk Young Irelands 2-9(15).

Naomh Fionnbarra scorers: Bernard Osborne 1-4, Darren McConnon 1-0, Óisín McGee 0-2, Andy McCann 0-1 & Stuart Osborne 0-1.

Division 1 League – Round 1
St Fechins 0-10
Dreadnots 2-8

A four point victory for Dreadnots over neighbours St Fechins in front of a large crowd in Pairc Naomh Feichín left their supporters happy. Ryan Sheridan pointed a 45 to open the scoring for the Fechins. The Dreadnots repled with points from county players Anthony Williams, James Califf and Padraic Smith. Jamie King and Fergal McGuigan then exchanged points before Padriac Smith rattled the locals net for the Dreadnots first goal of the night. When man of the match James Califf scored his first free in the 25th minute, things looked ominous for the Fechins. However a great James Devereaux point was quickly followed by more from Jamie King and Ryan Sheridan to leave the score 1-5 to 0-5 at half time.

Niall Devlin opened the scoring in the second half with a point to reduce the Dreadnots lead to two. A quick break out of the Dreadnots defence set up Fergal McGuigan who cooly blasted past Darren O’Neill. Two frees from Danny Burnell and one from Ryan Sheridan made it a two point game again. The home crowd were now in good voice and when sub Ciarán Cuningham recieved a second yellow in the 22nd minute, things seemed to be looking good for St Fechins.

But it was the visitors who finished the stronger with frees from James Califf (2) and Padraic Smith. Jamie King put over his third point of the night for the home team, but it was not enough. The ability of the Dreadnots to score goals and convert frees was really the difference between the teams.

St Fechins travelled to Dundalk on Sunday to play Sean O’Mahonys hoping to get their forst points of the season. However this was not to be.

Ryan Sheridan kicked a free to open the second half scoring for the visitors but the Dundalk team used the wind to good effect. A second goal put the game beyond reach. Even though the O’Mahonys keeper pulled off three great saves, including a penalty save, the Fechins never looked like salvaging anything from this game.

St Mochtas GFC Club Notes 12th April

Ferguson English; David Lennon, Liam Lawlor, Barry Murphy; Donal Gernon, Darren Mc Mahon, Cormac Callan; Shane Mc Mahon, Declan Byrne (0-08 6f); Liam Mc Grenaghan, Gareth O’Reilly, Ultan Larney (0-01); Eamon O’Neill, Nigel Farrell, Barry Mullholland (0-01).

Final score- St. Brides 2-14 St. Mochtas 0-10

The Brides opened the scoring with two points laying down the marker for the game. Ultan Larney was the first to find the post for the Louth Village side. Knock bridge responded with a goal coming from the fist of Paddy Reilly due to a short 45. Decky Byrne helped St.Mochtas find their feet with a free and a score from play narrowing the gap to 2 again. Gavin Breen was brought in with 20 minutes gone in the first half with the hope St. Mochtas could open up the Brides defence a bit more. Unfortunately the Mochtas only registered one more score before the break and this came again from the boot of Decky Byrne. Half time St. Brides 1-07 St. Mochtas 0-04.

Decky opened the second half with two unanswered frees. Barry Mullholland was the only one to get a score from play for the Louth Village side in the second half. A Michael Keane goal for the Brides in the dieing minutes was the nail in the coffin.

Subs- Gavin Breen for Liam Mc Grenaghan

Match Report
Played in very windy conditions making it a tough afternoon for football Naomh Fionnbarra played O’Raghallaigh’s in the second round of the Division 2 League at Gaelic Grounds, Drogheda on Saturday
evening. With the elements at their backs the Drogheda men had a good start to the game and took an early lead with a some well taken points. The Finbarrs men responded with a point of their own from Bernard Osborne from a free after Jack Butterly centred a short 45m kick and one of the O’Raghallaigh’s backs played the ball on the ground. O’Raghallaigh’s scored a few more points of their own as well as a goal from Barry Flanagan after a Ben Rogan shot dropped short and was played across the goal by Craig McEntaggart where Flanagan palmed to the empty net. Half time score: Naomh Fionnbarra 0-1(1) O’Raghallaigh’s 1-6(9).

With the wind now at their backs the Finbarrs made a better start to the second half as they gradually chipped away the the half time deficit. The Toghr men scored 7 points by a combination of Bernard Osborne 0-4 (3 of them frees), Jack Butterly 0-2 and Oisin McGee 0-1 which was a well taken long range point. Both Osborne and Butterly were unlucky not to find the net with volleys that both blazed over the bar. In between O’Raghallaigh’s responeded with 3 points of their own to keep the Barrs at bay and were only 4 points ahead going into the final quarter. In fairness to the Drogheda men they finished strongly and showed good fitness to score 4 points when playing into the wind. The Finbarrs scored another point in reply by Bernard Osborne to slightly reduce the gap but it was too little too late. Final score: Naomh Fionnbarra 0-9(9) O’Raghallaighs 1-13(16).

Naomh Fionnbarra scorers: Bernard Osborne 0-5, Jack Butterly 0-2, Óisín McGee 0-1.

Kind Regards,

Nicholas Butterly P.R.O.
Played in very wet conditions making it a tough evening for football Naomh Fionnbarra played Glyde Rangers in the first round of the Division 2 League at John Markey Park on Saturday evening. With the elements at their backs the Togher men had a good start to the game and took an early lead with a well taken long range point by midfielder Darren McConnon from wide on the left wing. This was followed up by Andy McCann with a well taken point. The Tallanstown men settled soon after and reponded with a point of their own after a good run and point from one of their midfielders. McCann replied with another before Glyde responded with a fisted goal by wing forward Aaron Devlin who beat the Barrs keeper Shane O’Brien to the ball after a cross into the Finbarrs square.

The Finbarrs responded immediately with a well worked move down the right wing involving Hugh & Conor Osborne who laid off to wing back Nicholas Butterly who ran through and kicked a well taken point. The Barrs began to dominate the game after this and were guilty of over elaboration where direct ball into the full forward line may have reaped dividends. Another sublime McCann point, this time from an acute angle in the right corner regained the lead for the Togher men. Tallanstown scored another point from a free to tie things up again. The Barrs had the final say of the half as McCann clipped over his fourth point from close range after being set up by Jack Butterly. With a one point half time lead the Finbarrs may have regretted missing some socreable chances with 5 or 6 wides. Half time score: Naomh Fionnbarra 0-6(6) Glyde Ranger 1-2(5).

Glyde Rangers made a brilliant start to the seond half as one of their midfielders races through from the throw in to score the equalising point. The Tallanstown men followed this up with a short range free as the regained a one point lead. The Togher men battled hard but were finding it tough against the elements and were blown up for over carrying on a number of occasions. Glyde opened a 2 point lead after scoring another point as they started to turn the screw. The Barrs fought back and an Óisín McGee point reduced the lead to 1. Once again Tallanstown replied with a point to increase their lead to 2 again as both sides battled hard in the mucky conditions. Mistakes were aplenty as both teams tried to drive on.

A point attempt from Óisín McGee dropped short to the Glyde goal keeper who failed to gather cleanly after good pressure from Stuart Osborne. The ball spilled loose to Conor Osborne who drilled the ball into the net. This gave the Barrs a one point lead as the game headed into the last 10 minutes. The Tallanstown men fought back and kicked an equaliser shortly afterwards. Stuart Osborne then stroked over a 20m free after substitute Shane Fanning bravely won a free infront of the Tallanstown goal. In a frantic end to the game Glyde rangers scored the last 2 points to secure a hard fought win. Final score: Naomh Fionnbarra 1-8(11) Glyde Rangers 1-9(12).

Naomh Fionnbarra scorers: Andy McCann 0-4, Conor Osborne 1-0, Darren McConnon 0-1, Nicholas Butterly 0-1, Óisín McGee 0-1, and Stuart Osborne 0-1.

Dowdallshill AC&FC Club Notes 6th April

Westerns 4-7 Dowdallshill 0-12.
14 man Westerns picked up the first 2 points of the league on Saturday evening when they had a 7 point victory over the the visitors on a wet and heavy pitch in Reaghstown.
From a Dowdallshill point of view, the concession of 3 first half goals (two of which came from countyman Tommy Durnin), when playing with the aid of the breeze left them with a mountain to climb, but as they fought back they were handed a lifeline when Trevor Baylon was given a straight red card 10 minutes from half time for an off the ball incident.
The Hill lads kicked some excellent points in that first half with Noel Finnegan, Anthony Quinn, Eamonn Duffy, Stephen Hoey all on target along with evergreen Damien Fanning who was unlucky when his fisted effort just went over the bar. This left the half time score 3-3 to 0-8 in favour of the home team.

St Mochta’s Club Notes 6th April

St. Mochtas 1-10
Na Pearsaigh 3-04

Fergus English; Liam lawlor, Barry Mullholland, David Lennon; Donal Gernon, Darren Mc Mahon (0-01), Shane Mc Mahon (0-01); Gareth O’Reilly, Decky Byrne (0-04, 3f) ; Brendan Duff, Eamon O’Neill (0-02) , Phily Englishby; Danny Kindlon, Nigel Farrell (0-02), Ultan Larney (1-00).

Shane Mc Mahon got the first score of the game for the Louth Village side. Celebration was short lived though with a slippy goal finding its way to the net after 10mins and meant they led by 2. Ultan Larney was quick to reply, also finding the net to put the home side ahead by 1. A mix up in the Mochtas back line saw them punished with the Na Pearsaigh forwards finding the net again. This left it 2-01 to 1-03 with 5 minutes to go in the first half. Another well worked play saw a goal for the town side and the teams ended half time on a score line of 3-01 to 1-03.

Na Pearsaigh opened with the first point of the second half. Two points from Eamon O’Neil and three frees from Decky Byrne saw the Louth Village side close it to a draw in the first 5 minutes. Na Pearsaigh were reduced to 14 men soon after with the Mochtas side hoping that would be their chance to push on. They only managed to stretch the lead to 1 before Na Pearsaigh drew the game and went ahead again. Nigel Farrell drew the game with the last kick of the game.

Subs- Emlyn Clerkin for Liam Lawlor, Liam Mc Grenaghan for Danny Kindlon.

Knockbridge 1-10 Pearse Óg 0-06
The junior team travelled to Knockbridge on Good Friday to play in the 2nd Round of the Louth Special Hurling League. In dry conditions Pearse Óg played the first half with the wind and their back and lead by 0-04 to 0-03 at half time with point coming from the every green Gerry Hoey and a spectacular sideline cut from midfielder Brian McCabe. The second half the boys struggled playing on the big pitch with only 12 a side and also into the strong breeze proved too much as the boys waned in the dying minutes to end up on the wrong side of a 1-10 to 0-06 scoreboard, it was superb to see so many line out for the first game of the year and with a bit of work on the training field it promises to be a good year for the club.

Táin League
St Fechins 1-14 Pearse Óg 1-05
The senior team took to the field on Easter Monday to face last year’s County Champions St Fechins in the 1st round of the Ulster Táin League.

With a lot of players who’d lined out in the Junior games just 3 days earlier and not much done so far the boys fitness told as St Fechins managed to pull away in the second half and come away with a 1-14 to 1-05 win.

Dundalk Gaels Club Notes 6th April

On Tuesday evening, Dundalk Gaels began life in Division 2 with a local derby against Clan na Gael down the Echo Road. The opening minutes lived up to a typical derby match with 2 penalties inside the first five minutes. The first was for the Clans who inside the first minute, had their full forward fouled inside the area and the a penalty was given to the home side. With no scores on the board, the Clans man rattled the crossbar and as the ball came down it was put out for a 45. From the resultant placed kick, the ball dropped into the square where the Clans full forward reacted sharpest and punched the ball to the net to open the scoring. The Gaels replied immediately and a long ball into the Clans full back line was gathered by Gaels full forward Stephen Murphy who was dragged to ground and the referee immediately pointed to the spot for a penalty for the away side. County player Gerard McSorley made no mistake with his penalty as he put the keeper the wrong way. Five minutes in and it was a goal apiece. The remainder of the half didnt live up to the opening minutes with the Clans gradually gaining the upper hand across the pitch. The Gaels only managed two further scores for the rest of the first half, a free from McSorley and a point from play from Eanna McArdle. The Gaels suffered two losses in the the first half with Niall Hearty and Andrew Coleman both having to leave the game as a result of knocks received. At half time the Clans led on a scoreline of 1-5 to 1-2 having played against the wind in the first half.

The Gaels came out fired up for the second half, determined to make amends for their first half showing. They worked 3 scoreable frees in the opening five minutes but were unable to convert any of them. These misses proved costly as the Clans proved to be much more clinical in front of their opponents goals. The home side kept the scoreboard ticking over and eventually opened up a 9 point lead, 1-11 to 1-2. The difference could have been even greater in favour of the home side only for Gaels keeper John Burlingham making himself big and denying a sure goal with a point blank save. The Gaels were wasteful in the second half and their only score came with the last kick of the game via the boot of McSorley with a free.

The game finished 1-11 to 1-3 to the home side. The Gaels will now want to re-group and turn their attention to Sunday’smatch against the Oliver Plunketts where they will attempt to claim their first points of the season.

Team: John Burlingham, Eamonn Kenny, Jamie Faulkner, Andrew Coleman, Niall Hearty, Derek Crilly, Adrian Rafferty, Gerry Fee, James Stewart, Errol Boyle, Eanna McArdle(0-1), Shane Rice, Sean Murray, Gerard McSorley(1-2, 1-0p,0-2f), Stephen Murphy

Under heavy conditions the Gaels under 12 team got the year off to a great start with a hard earned victory over Naomh Martin. The end score was not a real reflection on the competitive nature of the game .The Gaels only pulled away in the last few minutes of the second half.
Best for Gaels on the night ,Christopher Clarke ,Conall O’Callaghan , Oran Mulligan ,Oisin Coleman , Liam O’Connor and Ryan Coleman

Under 14 St Marys 6-12 Gaels 4-7

DundalkGaels Under 14’s kicked off their league campaign away to St Marys in Ardee on Wednesday evening.The Gaels travelled to Ardee with a smaller squad than they had hope and were minus a dozen of their squad. Despite the young team that they fielded the Gaels give a good account of themselves. Having started the game very well and going toe to toe with the hosts in the opening exchanges it was only in the latter stages that the home team began to open up a lead before half time. The Gaels regrouped at half time and a few positional changes steadied the ship and the Gaels gradually worked their way back into the game and a much improved second half display made for a very competitive second half and a lot of encouraging signs for the upcoming games. In Liam McStravick in the forwards and Nathan Hearty in the half back line the Dundalk team had their best performers. Ben Walsh and Dylan McKeown were also very much to the fore and Conor Boyle very good in goals.

Team: Conor Boyle , Can Mulligan , Tom Watkins, Nathan Hearty,Ben Walsh, Ronan Hearty, Ruairi O Connor,Gabriel Aybuo, Robbie Duffy, Jamie Lee,Dylan McKeown, Conor Smith,Liam McStravick.

A fiercely contested first round match in the Minor Division 1 league took place in the Ramparts on Tuesday evening. Gaels started the game well and had the best of the early exchanges and scored 1-2 with a goal from Conor Nicholson and two points from Christopher Sweeney. Blues got a soft goal to get them off the mark and followed up with three swift points. Liam Lynch and Ciaran Carter pulled back 2 points for the Gaels. Blues finished the 1st half the stronger team by taking their chances and scoring another goal just before half time to make it Gaels 1-4, Blues 2-5 at half time.

Gaels got the 2nd half off to a great start with a second goal from full forward Conor Nicholson, a point from substitute John O’Hare and goal from Liam Lynch. The Blues responded with a series of points both from play and from frees. Gaels finished the game the stronger team but will rue a number of missed chances which included a number of goal chances, an easy free and a missed penalty.

Christopher Sweeney finished off the Gaels scores with 2 points but the Blues were more efficient in taking their chances and finished out as narrow winners on a final score of Gaels 3-7 and Blues 2-12.

It was a very enjoyable match played in the right manner with great skills and determination being shown by both teams. The Gaels half back line performed very well on the night with excellent performances by Conor Conroy, Conor Morgan and Paul McCrave. In the forwards Conor Nicholson, Christopher Sweeney and Liam Lynch were the pick.

St Fechins Club Notes 30th March

Táin League Division 2A Round 1
St Fechins 1-14
Pearse Óg 1-6
St Fechins Senior Hurlers began their 2016 Táin League campaign with a hard fought win over local rivals Pearse Óg in a blustery Páirc Naomh Feichín on Easter Monday. A strong start saw St Fechins surge into the lead with points from Michael Ryan, Paddy Lynch and Paddy McCormack leaving them 3 points to 1 up after ten minutes. A Shane Callan goal from a penalty brought Pearse Óg back into the game but a free from Paddy Lynch and a superb save from Stephen Hackett kept St Fechins in the game. During a period of dominance Pearse Óg were unable to make their possession count on the scoreboard, with only one point amid a number of wides. St Fechins fought back at the end of the half and a points from Paddy Lynch, Michéal Byrne and from Michael Ryan left them two up at the break.
The second half began both teams upping the intensity in attack. Pearse Óg struck first with a point, quickly cancelled out by two Paddy Lynch points. Again Pearse Óg attacked putting three more points on the board before the turning point midway through the half which saw a second important save from Stephen Hackett. In the final fifteen minutes the fitness of the home team shone through as they outscored the visitors by five points to nil, with scores coming from Michael Ryan, Paddy McCormack and Paddy Lynch. In the final moments a shot from Paddy Lynch struck the post and rebounded to the onrushing Paddy McCormack who finished into the net.
It was a welcome win for St Fechins after disappointment in the Leinster League against Naas on Saturday. They continue their Táin League campaign with an away fixture against Ballela next Sunday.

Report
With a strong breeze on their backs Ardee opened the score in the 1st minute with a point followed by a Goal in the 4th and another point in the 7th. 1-02 to no score.
Gers were guilty of giving the ball away a lot when they did all the hard work gaining possession and it was not until 14th minute that midfielder Shaun Callan ( other contender for Gers MoM ) opened the score for The Haggardsown side.
15 minutes into the Paddy Sheelan Cup quarter final and the Ardee men were firmly in control with the score 1-02 to 0-01
Gers Niall Craven popped up with a well worked point to put a goal between the sides. In the 22nd minute the point of the first half and perhaps the game came from a long range point by Paddy Hoey who thumped it over the bar catching the wind perfectly.
Just two minutes later Ardee put 3 points between the sides with score now 1-03 to 0-03. They extended that lead to 4 with a free in 27th minute. And again in 28th minute with score now at 1-05 to 0-03.
A Hamill point before half time finished the score at 1-05 to 0-04.
1-05 to 0-04 HT.
When the sides came out again in the second half Gers were still guilty of giving too much ball away and it was the Ardee men who were on the board with another free in the 32nd minute. 1-06 to Gers 0-04
Four minutes into the second half Glen Trainor got his first of the match and a minute later Shaun Callan rattled the back of the net with a well worked goal. There was now only a point in it and Gers had the strong breeze on their back.1-05 to 1-06
It was nip and tuck for the next 10 minutes with Ardee and Gers wides and a yellow card for Josh Arrowsmith.
It was the old reliable Darren Clarke who extended St Marys lead to 3 points and when Hamill paired one back for the homeside it was Clarke again who scored with a free.
With 12 minutes left on the clock Ardee were leading by 3 points and extended that to 4 and then a super long range point from Darren Clarke to make it 1-06 to 1-11 with 10 minutes to go. It was the Marys Men who rallied after The Gers goal and not the Gers as expected.
Gers were trying to stay in touch with a point from Conal Hoey but a second goal from Ardee with just 8 minutes to go looked like the writing was on the wall.
1-07 to 2-11
However, one of Gers contenders for Man of The Match and corner back Paul Clarke was on the end of a good move from Gers with a good goal.
With the sore at 2-07 to 2-11 there was 4 in it with 5 to go.
Ardee hit a goal chance wide in 57th as Gers had a Callan point from free with 2 to go.
2-08 to 2-11
Josh Arrowsmith got a black card for back chat to referee.
Ardee got the final point of the game to finish the score 2-08 to 2-12.
It was an entertaining game in Haggardstown on a blustery and cold evening and neither side will have any complaints about the score.

Our Intermediate team had a good 2-7(13) to 0-10(10) win over Dundalk Young Irelands in the Paddy Sheelan Cup Round 3on Tuesday night at Páirc Éire Óg, Dundalk.

Hard luck to the Naomh Fionnbarra ladies who were narrowly beaten on Wednesday night by Naomh Mairtin in the first game of the league. The girls started slow with Naomh Mairtin going 1-2 ahead but we responded well with a goal from Laura Sharkey. Points were added by Leanne Sharkey, Grainne Carrie and Marianne Hullen leaving just a 2 point deficit at the break. Great scores from Ciara Mc Mahon, Laura Sharkey, Marianne Hullen and Jenni Devlin brought the game back to a draw but Naomh Mairtin finished on top, the final score was 2-12(18) to 1-11(14).
The ladies were also beaten at their next game v St. Kevin’s 5-15(30) to 4-4(12) on Easter Sunday morning at John Markey Park, Ballygassan. Shane and Cormac were delighted with a full squad of 26 ladies on a cold, blustery Easter Sunday morning but unfortunately The Kevin’s were not as organised arriving in Ballygassan with only 12 players. A poor decision by the referee forced the management to select only 12 players despite nearly having enough players for two teams! Ashley Callaghan started in goal, Emma Torris (captain), Maria Butterly and Shauna Markey made up to full back line, Ellen Butterly and Leah Cassidy were the half backs, with the Devlin sisters Niamh and Jeni in the middle, Marianne Hullen and Ciara McMahon were the half forwards, with Laura Sharkey and Leanne Sharkey as full forwards.
The Kevin’s started well with a point straight away but the on form Laura Sharkey responded with 2 goals in quick succession. Niamh Devlin injured her ankle and Denise Moynagh stepped into mid field. Laura found the target again scoring a point. The Kevin’s got two quick goals despite Ashley making several good saves. A combination of blocks from Jeni and Leah set Laura up for another great point. The strong wind did the Finbarr ladies no favours and allowed the Kevin’s to get on top.

The second half was a different story with the Finbarr ladies benefitting from the wind. A great dispossession by Leanne set Laura up for a shot on goal but she rattled the woodwork and super sub Roisin Osbourne was waiting for the rebound and found the back of the net. Excellent fielding by Marianne built up for a point by Leanne. The Kevin’s stamped down their dominance by scoring another goal and 2 points. The last goal of the game was set up by Jeni as she passed the ball into Laura who hit the target increasing her tally to 3-3 for the day. A disappointing result for Naomh Fionnbarra ladies but there were some great performance’s to build on for the next league game. Keep up the good work girls, training recommences on Wednesday night in Ballygassan at 7:45.

Congratulations to Emma Torris who was chosen as captain for 2016. The club would also like to wish ladies player Deirbhile Osborne a speedy recovery from her recent injury.

The results are in after week 6 of the club’s Last Man Standing Competition for the National Football League. We are now heading for the final round of the league section and of the 30 entries that made it through to the 6th round 24 are through to the 7th round. Hard luck to the 6 people who have been eliminated. Cork and Cavan were the 2 teams that got everyone through while Galway, Derry and Roscommon let down the unlucky 6. The Final round of group games in the League resume next Sunday 3rd April. Best of luck to those left standing as things begin to heat up.

Naomh Fionnbarra G.F.C. & St. Anne’s Camogie Club Strictly At the Movies takes place on April 9th 2016 at 8pm in the Tommy Leddy Theatre Drogheda. With less than 2 weeks to go to the Naomh Fionnbarra and St Annes Strictly goes to the Movies, tickets are now on general sale from this weekend and demand for tickets is expected to be high.

Ladies Division 2 League – 26th March in Tallanstown

Glyde Rangers 0-5

St Fechins 3-11

St Fechins ladies followed up their opening round victory with a comprehensive win away to Glyde Rangers in Tallanstown on Sunday morning. Played in cold and windy conditions the Fechins despite playing into the wind took the initiative from the start and blitzed their opponents early on .Grace Healy on her debut in the league kick started the scoring with an excellent point and this was followed by 2 superb points from Liz Sheridan & Louise McCullough after being set up by attacking half backs Orla Brennan and Hayley McDonnell.

Glyde then had a period of pressure and soon had a couple of scores on the board and were only kept at bay by some superb goal keeping by Caoimhe McQuillan and tigerish defending by the full back line of Katie Flynn, Jenny Mulrey and Anna Redmond.

Fechins however soon took the game by the scruff of the neck and playing with great confidence and flair. The away team then hit Glyde with 3 quick fire goals to all but end the contest. Firstly Hazel Haughney finished a great move to the net after great work from Roisin Kavanagh (Player of the Match) and this was soon followed by a goal from a free by Sharon McDermott and a thunderbolt from Sheridan after being played through by a great Sara Moore pass. Glyde responded with 2 points from frees but further points were added by Haughney and Mc Dermott to leave the half time score 3-6 to 0-4 .

The second half was a much more cagey affair as Glyde scored first and dug in to prevent the Fechins from running up a big score. Captain, Pamela Campbell again dictated the play from centre half and she played Mc Dermott through for her second point and this was soon followed by number 3 after great play by midfielder Becky Howell.

The Fechins management then freshened things up and made good use of their bench with Ellen Brodigan knocking over 2 great points when introduced and Paula Branigan and Grace Haughney also contributing handsomely.

It was left to the evergreen Sheridan to complete the scoring and to top score on the day with McDermott who unfortunately seemed to suffer a bad knee injury in the last seconds of the game and she is wished a speedy recovery.

Sheelan Cup
Group B Round 2
St Fechins 1-9
Oliver Plunketts 0-6

St. Fechins got their second win of the season with a six point win over Oliver Plunketts in Páirc Naomh Feichín. Played in ideal conditions this was a much tighter affair than the final score indicates. Trevor Walsh got a brace of points for the Plunketts to open the scoring. Playing with a light breeze the locals drew level with points from Harry McCarthy and Ryan Sheridan. Two pointed frees from Danny Burnell stretched their lead and a well taken point from Niall Devlin saw the Fechins go in five points to two ahead at half time. The Plunketts struck straight from the throw in with another Walsh point. Taking advantage of the strengthening wind, the Drogheda team put the Fechins under severe pressure. This culminated in the concession of a number of frees. Cian Matthews converted three to put the Plunketts a point up mid way through the half.The game was in the balance and could have gone either way. It was then that Ryan Sheridan came into his own and kicked two great points. Paul King followed up with an excellent point for the winners to drive home their advantage. Danny Burnell tapped over a free with two minutes to go. With time nearly up, Brian Devlin put the result beyond doubt when he rattled the Plunketts net. With two wins from two St. Fechins look forward to playing neighbours Naomh Mairtin in the final group game.

St Fechins:
Darren O’Neill, Harry McArdle, David Collier, Derek Younger, Gerard Campbell, Niall McCabe, Conor Haughney, Ryan Sheridan , Harry McCarthy, David Hughes, Paul King, Tom Burke, Danny Burnell, Colm O’Neill, Niall Devlin.

Leinster Hurling League – Division 3 – Round 1
St Fechins (Louth) 3-13
St OIiver Plunketts Eoghan Ruadh (Dublin) 0-9

St Fechins senior hurlers continued their run of form from 2015 with a win in their opening game of the season against Oliver Plunketts Eoghan Ruadh from Dublin, in the Leinster Hurling League. Niall Devlin got St Fechins off to an ideal start with goal in the fourth minute. Plunketts replied with three points in quick succession to draw level. The home team then enjoyed a period of dominance with scores from Michael Ryan and Cathal Ryan, followed by a brace from Brian Stephenson. In the twenty-first minute a puck-out from Stephen Hackett was caught by county man Seaghan Conneely who drove at the Plunketts defence, a deft handpass left Barry Devlin with the goal at his mercy, and he duly obliged to put St Fechins seven ahead. Three pin point frees from Plunketts Diarmud McGrath in the lead up to half time kept his side in the game leaving it 2-4 to 0-6 at the break.

Cathal Ryan began the second half with a long range free, followed quickly by another from brother Michael. A high ball into the square was plucked from the sky by Seaghan Conneely who kicked the sliotar to the back of the net. An attacking spell followed from the Plunketts but St Fechins defence, marshalled by captain Darren McDonnell, were impenetrable, only allowing two scores from play in the entire game. The home side’s superior fitness and team play saw them stretch out their lead, outscoring the opposition six points to one in the last ten minutes.

St Fechins now go on to face Delvin away in the second round of the competition next weekend.

St Fechins:

Sheelan Cup

On Sunday morning, Dundalk Gaels travelled to Clogherhead to take on the Dreadnots in the 2nd group game of the Sheelan Cup. In great conditions for football, the Gaels, who made one change from their mid-week victory against the Sean O’Mahony’s, opened brightly with centre forward Anthony McSorley scoring 2 points from play in the opening few minutes. The home side responded with one from play before Sean Murray re-opened the 2 poont gap with his first point from play. The only goal of the game came courtesy of a high ball into the square which the Nots full forward rose highest and flicked the ball into the top corner of Paul Burke’s net. The Gaels however responded well to this set back and outscored their opponents 0-3 to 0-1 in the second quarter of the match to lead 0-6 to 1-2 at half time. The Gaels points came via the boot of Errol Boyle and Murray while Jason Clarke added his first of the match from a dead ball.

The start of the second half was a close affair before the away side began to kick on and take control of the scoreboard. 7 different players scored for the Gaels in the second half, all from play bar one. Full forward Stephen Murphy continued his rich vein of form adding a point from play, while Clarke added his second from another dead ball. Corner back David McComish also pointed from play while centre half Derek Crilly added two in a row. Murray scored his third and final point of the game before substitutes Aaron Culligan and Chris Sweeney closed the game out with their own points. The home side’s solitary score of the second half came from a free kick. The only downside of the game for the away side being a black card for veteran Andrew Coleman in the second half.

The Gael now have won their first two games of the Sheelan Cup and will travel to the Gaelic Grounds for their final group game against the O’Raghallaighs, with their eyes firmly on securing a place in the knock-out stages of this competition.

Gaels: P Burke, D McComish (0-1), E Kenny, A Coleman, A Rafferty, D Crilly (0-2), S Rice, P McGinnity, E Boyle (0-1), G Fee, A McSorley (0-2), C McArdle, S Murray (0-3), S Murphy (0-1), J Clarke (0-2f) Subs: C Sweeney (0-1), D Hoey, A Culligan (0-1), S Sharkey

Sheelan Cup
Played in sunny and dry conditions, excellent for football Naomh Fionnbarra played Newtown Blues in the second round of the Paddy Sheelan Cup at Newfoundwell, Drogheda on Sunday. The Drogheda men started the game better and took an early lead as the Finbarrs found their feet and grew into the game. This did not take long however as the Togher lads found their rhythm and got their running game going. An early point settled the team which came from the lively Stuart Osborne who knocked over a well struck 45m kick. Darren McConnon also got in on the act and hooked over a point as he provided a good target man as full forward.

Over the course of the half the Barrs confidence grew as they got to grips with the game. Another point from Osborne and a well struck long range point from midfielder Kieran Lenehan kept the scoreboard ticking as the Blues struggled at the other end and relied on frees. The launch of a lot of attacks came from the Finbarrs half back line who were solid throughout. Máirtín Murphy was rewarded for his hard work up and down the wing with a well taken point. Towards the end of the half the Togher men really clicked into gear as Osborne kicked another score, corner back Bryan Sharkey finished with aplomb after a well worked move that went the length of the field and Pádraig Butterly volleyed with venom over the bar with the goal at his mercy after being set up by Stuart Osborne. Overall the Finbarrs were on top but were wasteful at times and could have been further ahead. Half time score: Naomh Fionnbarra 0-8(8) Newtown Blues 0-3(3).

The second half started on the same vein as the Togher men scored directly from the throw in after Pádraig Butterly scored a lovely point after being set up by Conor Osborne and Darren McConnon. The Blues to their credit never stopped and showed their battling qualities as they came back into the game and had the Barrs under pressure for large parts of the second half as they gradually ground their way back into the game.

Conor Osborne did temporarily lift the siege with a vital score from play. When the Finbarrs did break forward on other occasions poor option taking when in possession and poor shooting could have proved costly as a number of goal chances were squandered. Even so when under pressure at the back the Togher men had a good full back line who stood firm in front of goalkeeper Shane O’Brien who was rock solid under a number of awkward high balls throughout the game. Overall the Naomh Fionnbarra were full value for their 1 point victory. Final score: Naomh Fionnbarra 0-10(10) Newtown Blues 0-9(9).

Naomh Fionnbarra scorers: Stuart Osborne 0-3, Pádraig Butterly 0-2, Máirtín Murphy 0-1, Bryan Sharkey 0-1, Kieran Lenehan 0-1, Darren McConnon 0-1 and Conor Osborne 0-1.

Naomh Fionnbarra Team: Shane O’Brien, Bryan Sharkey, Colin McGrane, Patrick McGrane, Nicholas Butterly, Conor Lenehan, Hugh Osborne, John Doyle, Kieran Lenehan, Pádraig Butterly, Óisín McGee, Máirtín Murphy, Stuart Osborne, Darren McConnon, Conor Osborne.

However, Hunterstown took the lead for the first time when a great Glen Mathews pass fell into the arms of Paul Carrie who quickly converted it to a goal & got his first point a minute later. Hunterstown stepped up a gear & took a further lead with mid-fielder Brendan Lennon scoring his 1st point in the 10th minute & getting Hunterstown 2nd goal in the 21st minute.

Hunterstown Rovers scorers: Alan Landy (0-01), Paul Carrie (1-01) & Brendan Lennon (1-01).

Kilkerly got the better start to the 2nd half scoring 2 consecutive points, bringing the match to a draw for the first time. David Finn made a great run from the half-back line yp to the forward line to get Hunterstown’s 3rd goal of the match. But once again Kilkerly retaliated with 1-02 of their own & taking the lead once again. Brendan Lennon got his 2nd point of the match in the 49th minute to reduce the deficit. Kilkerly once again cancelled that out with a point of their own. It was once again centre-half back David Finn who gave Hunterstown the lead with his 2nd goal of the match, quickly followed by a Tony McKenna point, giving Hunterstown a 2 point lead in the dying stages of the match. Hunterstown did everything that they could to hold onto the lead, but 2 last minute points from Kilkerly resulted in a draw match.

Geraldines GFC Club Notes 1 Feb

Here is a picture of our Chairman, Stephen Thornton, hosting Kevin O’Riordan in his charity Kick for Kolkata with details below. https://www.gofundme.com/mgx2b8pm

Kevin was also a college colleague of our own Senior player Tiernan Hand.

“My name is Kevin O’Riordan and I am a primary teacher from Templemore Tipperary.

In 2014 I volunteered with the HOPE Foundation in Kolkata(formerly Calcutta) India, where I taught the street children of Kolkata, and provided workshops for their local teachers. Suffice to say my PE Curriculum involved hurleys, sliothars, and gaelic football aplenty.

This year I am continuing the HOPE Foundations fundraising efforts with a truly ambitious plan. I want to kick a point in every GAA club pitch and county grounds in Ireland – all 1616 clubs and 32 county grounds – in a project entitled ‘Kick For Kolkata’. I will kick the final point on All Ireland Club Final day 17th March in Croke Park.

The core values of the HOPE Foundation align perfectly with those of the GAA, particularly when it comes to their work in creating a sense of community, encouraging teamwork to overcome difficult problems, and promoting a culture of volunteering that sees an increasing number of Irish students travel to Kolkata every year.

As I visit each club I take pictures of each club facilities and upload them on the official fundraiser page www.facebook.com/kickforkolkata and on the twitter page @kickforkolkata. To date I have kicked a point in Tipperary, Kilkenny, Carlow, Sligo, Wicklow, Clare, Leitirm, Cavan, Monaghan, Meath, Longford, Westmeath, Roscommon, Offaly, Laois, Kildare, Waterford, Cork, Kerry. which is 934 clubs completed!!!! ”

Fair dues to him and we are honoured to play our part.
