WEEKLY ROUND UP BOYS WE 14th April

U-16 and U-10 cups for Gortboy

 

U-16 cup final

Kilmallock had an easier than expected win in this competition on Saturday afternoon last. Charleville shaded the early exchanges with

Darren Butler and Jack Houghton getting in shots at goal but Shane Feane, Kilmallock's reliable keeper, was equal to them. Killian Hayes was

the in-form striker for the hosts and pounced for the opener on 20 minutes and doubled this lead on 30 minutes. Chris Kenny the Charleville custodian saved

well and advanced smartly to keep his team's hopes alive and after the resumption Darren Butler was taken down and converted the penalty

himself. But if this was the signal to reignite the flame for Charleville, it was Kilmallock that responded better and Killian Hayes completed his hattrick with

a fine strike from outside the box. And the Hoops continued to be resourceful, ever willing to stroke the ball about and retain possession with Ed

Valatka's left wing deliveries of the usual high standard, Chris Walsh, Robbie Hanley and Barry Nash were dominating midfield and Evan Mulcahy

was authoritative at the back. Charleville defended deep which made it easier for Kilmallock; Dylan Lee and Darren Butler were industrious for Charleville

and Terence Buckley has had a fine season and Diarmuid Buckley did well when introduced. But Killian Hayes' goal scoring exploits were the platform

for victory and Killian merited the man of the match accolade. League secretary presented the Ned Sheahan cup to the winning captain.

U-10 cup final

These games are meant to be non-competitive but they tend to attract large, vociferous crowds and on Wednesday at Elton the quality of

football, determination and commitment belied this tender age and was top class. Both number sevens were outstanding and both were on the

scoreboard; Enda Sheedy for Kilmallock is a powerful carrier of the ball and his counterpart Michael McElligott is a formidable tackler. Joshua Dineen

opened the scoring for Galbally and had an excellent game; Keeper Jordan Dineen, Ber Carey and Robert Samson were superb also for Galbally. Kevin

Sheedy kept goals well for Kilmallock and saved the vital penalty; TJ Hanley is a top defender, Colm Hayes, Cathal Clery and Killian Noonan

played blinders for the Hoops but every player on the field can be proud of their performances in striving for honours for their respective clubs and

the only pity was that there had to be any losers especially through a penalty shoot-out which brings both delight and dismay in equal quantities.

U-10 plate final

This game was the curtain raiser to the cup final and was eagerly contested and the football was a joy to behold. Bally's Oisin Browne was first

to be on target and Sean Moloney was very impressive for the bally boys. Mike Gleeson broke the deadlock early in the second half and gave a man

of the match performance throughout for Cappamore. Paddy McMahon made it 2 - 0 before Shane O Donoghue converted a spot kick to put the

final passages of play on a knife edge. But Celtic were not to be denied and were worthy winners.

U-13 cup final

Charleville duly completed the double at this age group and were well ahead of their rivals in the league and had to emerge from the tough side of

the cup draw to reach this final while Rathkeale were pleased to have reached the decider by an easier route. Rathkeale conceded after 5 minutes and

had the opportunity to level from the spot shortly after but Dale Ahern saved the penalty and with that the Sky Blues wilted and never got back into

this game. There were doubles for Brian Buckley and David Jones for Charleville, Peter Demjanovic hit a brace having been sprung from the bench in

what became a goal bonanza. Tony Curtin and Jesse Smith with a neat header, also hit the rigging and Jack Callaghan walloped home a dipping 30 yard

shot for the goal of the game. Travis O Reilly and Luke Jones tried hardest to stem the tide in Rathkeale's defense and Brian Keating and Eoin Kelly were enterprising

in the Sky Blue attack. Captain Timmy Hawe was presented with the cup by league secretary Tim Fitzgerald.

U-11 cup final

; Croom Utd 4 Herbertstown 2

 

This Croom side carried the torch for the club this year and completed the double also and Jonathon Hayes has many bright prospects for the future,

brimming with flamboyant talent and delivering a season to remember. AJ Moloney left footed in the opener after 12 minutes. 5 minutes later a Cian Fitzgerald

volley was cleared off the line and Jason Lawlor knocked in the rebound to give Croom a 2 - 0 lead. However, Herbertstown's star player Tyrique McNamara netted

before the break and it was all to play for. But Cian Fitzgerald volleyed home from a Leon Kirrane cross and AJ Moloney put the issue beyond doubt with 10 minutes

remaining. There were penalties missed at both ends but Croom are worthy cup and league winners. Captain Tim Lyons accepted the cup on behalf of his team.

Croom; Tim Lyons, Nathan Bennett, Eoin O Shea, Leon Kirrane, Jamie Greaves, AJ Moloney, Cian Fitzgerald, Josh Shinners, Jason Lawlor, Mark

Renoff Burchill, Tarken Dubeic, Tristian Sheerin, Scott Roche and Eric Cregan.

 

U-13 Division 1

Rathkeale led this competition before losing their final game to this opposition last week. Knocklong prevailed at Kilmallock in a well contested play-off by

the odd goal in five. Eoin Kelly struck a fine goal for Rathkeale after 3 minutes, Dylan Corbett levelled within 2 minutes. Brian Keating restored Rathkeale's

advantage blasting home a free kick on 10 minutes. Dylan Corbett also converted a free kick and in the second half Owensie Sheahan was the Knocklong

saviour in the second half netting the all important winner. Dean Moore, Darragh Keogh, Jack Houlihan, Bradley McNabb and

Killian Lyons sparkled for Knocklong. Rathkeale's brightest were Aaron Hogan, Brian Keating, Andrew Meade, Eoin Kelly and Jack Fahey.

WEEKLY ROUND UP BOYS W/E 31-03-12

Herbertstown win U-14's premier league

 

Herbertstown 4 Kilmllock Utd 1

Herbertstown U-14s claimed the premier league in style by overcomming nearest rivals Kilmallock 4 - 1 in a teak tough encounter in Herbertstown on Tuesday evening. The game was played at an incredible tempo from start to finish. A through ball set up David Hannon after 10 minutes and left him one on one with the keeper who appeared to handle outside the box and Dylan Walsh saved the resultant free kick. Herbertstown took the  lead after 20 minutes

through a volley from Conor O Grady. Paudie Sheedy levelled from the edge of the box and claim parity at half time. Herbertstown proved their pedigree in the second half with Conor O Grady and Patrick McDonagh gaining dominance in midfield and wingers Muiris Rowesome and Kevin Laffan raiding down the flanks. Conor O Grady released David Hannon with a trademark pass and the lethal striker's lob skinned the crossbar. Then Kevin Laffan went on a mazy run to link with Daniel Hurley whose pin point delivery was drilled home by the inrushing David Hannon. Herbertstown were in the ascendency now and Andrew Vance swung over a left wing free and David Hannon rose highest to power a header in to the top corner. Shortly after Patrick Mc Donagh weaved through to release David Hannon whose fine effort rebounded from a post and Ryan Mawdsley burst out of defense to create another opportunity for David Hannon to unleash a shot and once again an upright intervened. The home keeper Harry Ryan and defenders Fionn Murphy, Matthew O Dea and Andrew Vance were not seriously tested in the second half as the 'Town wrapped up another title with this domestic win and nationals cups very much on the radar

Anthony Barrett was starman for Kilmallock and Mikey Donegan was impressive at centre back and Josh Cahill and Ben Quirke have served this campaign with distinction

 

Galbally are U-14 division 1 champions

Galbally played their final game on Tuesday night against Meanus but were already 5 points clear of their opponents so the title was already in the bag and they duly won this game to preserve their 100% record. This venue with the backdrop of the Galtee mountains at sunset is impressive and the club can be proud of their facilities, 2 full sized pitches, an all weather pitch and clubhouse and is a monument to what can be achieved in a small rural community. And victory on the field is important also and was greeted with great celebrations. Three of their squad are vying for a place on the Kennedy cup squad and Nathan O Byrne is as honest as they come and battled bravely when Meanus wrested control in the second half. James Donovan worked

hard for his 2 goals which brings his season total to 27 and is an accomplished striker, Patrick O Donoghue was commanding at the back and Michael Burke displayed much potential in an embattled midfield. But Meanus gave as good as the got and left winger Patsy Punch netted for parity in an even first half. Ian Di Capitani brought the score to 3 - 2 with 20 minutes remaining and Meanus piled forward and were most unlucky when a John Bateman shot canoned off the left post and Patsy Punch well placed shot rebounded from the right post. Since the league was already won some complacency was inevitable but Eoghan Cummins was full of running and Darren Richardson, Jason Shannon, Darragh Burke are also names for the future for Galbally. Eamon Hogan presented Patrick O Donoghue with the cup on behalf of the league and Patrick called forward his players for their medals. Manager Pat O Byrne was ecstatic with his troops and their achievements Meanus; Thomas Connolly, Ian Di Capitani, Cian Moloney, John Bateman, Michael Bateman, Aidan Meade, Patsy Punch, Mikie Moloney, Mark Shanahan, Ryan Brady and Thomas Quigley. Champions; Thomas Condon, Philip O Sullivan, Patrick O Donoghue, Darren Richardson, Jason Shannon, Michael Burke, Nathan O Byrne, Darragh Burke, James Donovan, Fionn O Leary, Alex Finnan, Anthony Cormack, Eoghan Cummins and Colin Keating
