Despite a good first half display away to St Johns at Corrigan Park last Thursday when we trailed by three points we couldn’t maintain the intensity of our play in the second half . St Johns took advantage of the strong wind and powered away for the win. We had good performances in the back line from C Gallagher, N Hughes and C Slane who worked tirelessly. D Wilson put in a good shift as did T McLaughlin and P McParland. Our next game is at home to St Brigids at the Falls Park on Thursday with a 6.15 pm throw in.

A whirlwind start to this game saw us lead 1-2 to no score with Sean McGovern kicking the two points and Ciaran O’Riordan getting the goal but the Cargin response was immediate as they kicked 1-1 to leave a point between the sides.  However, that was to be their only scores of the half as we made it difficult for them to get scoring opportunities while tagging on a further three points from Liam McGivern, Sean McGovern and Collie O,Riordan to send us in at half time leading 1-5 to 1-1.

The senior hurlers failed to put in a performance against Glenravel in this recent away encounter. Despite Glenravel having a man dismissed early on we couldn’t take advantage of the extra man. At half time we trailed 0-8  to 1-3 and were well in the game but in the second half we could only muster a single point which was never going to be enough to trouble Glenravel. It was one of those days which we want to put behind us.

To date the U16 footballers have played two games in the league, away to Gortnamona and at home to Lamh Dearg. We played well against Gortnamona but despite battling very hard all over the pitch they proved to be too strong on the night running out winners 4-16 to 0-10. However, the pleasing aspect of the game was that we had six different scorers, P McParland 0-4, D Wilson 0-2, C Moreland, J Haughey, C Park and A Slane 0-1 each.

Our second game against Lamh Dearg was a much improved performance, with the main feature of our game being the intensity of our tackling which ensured that Lamh Dearg had to work very hard for their scores. At half time we had a comfortable lead 2-5 to 0-1 with P Craig getting both goals and A Slane kicking 0-3 and D Wilson adding 0-2.

Two early Portglenone goals set them on the road to a six point victory in this senior football fixture. Before we got going they had kicked 2-3 and we were very much on the backfoot. However a Collie O’Riordan goal followed by a Ryan Rooney point got us on the scoreboard as we looked to get a foothold in the game. Portglenone responded with two points before we had our best spell of the game. Paul Dynes hit the back of the net and Liam McGivern kicked a fine point to reduce the margin to three. All the good work was undone with another Portglenone goal and they quickly tagged on three further points to have a commanding lead 3-8 to 2-2 at half time.

The senior footballers made it two wins in a week when beating O’Donnell’s by a single point at Boucher Road on Wednesday night.  When we analysis the game it is hard to believe that we only won by the single point. We had numerous goal opportunities which we failed to take and we conceded too many frees in scoreable positions and as a result we put ourselves under pressure. However, credit were credit is due as we fought to the end to ensure we got the victory.
