TANG 1 - 9 GARRYCASTLE 0 - 8

Garrycastle Junior B side played their re-arranged fixture last Thursday evening and went down to their first defeat of the league against a skilful and determined Tang team. Tang had a point in their very first attack and were soon 2 points to the good with a well taken point from the left. Tang stretched the lead to 3 points in the 10th minute as Garrycastle found it difficult to get a foothold in the game. The first Garrycastle score did not come until the 12th minute, when Conor Cosgrove shot over a point. Robbie Shine then got his side’s second point with a smartly taken score. Tang responded with another point from a promising attack before Padraig Cosgrove struck a good point from the right wing. The Tang goalkeeper made an excellent save from Paul Donovan at the expense of a 45. However, Conor Cosgrove’s attempt at a point from the 45 sailed wide. The same player had a point from play to put the sides’ level in the 25th minute. Noel Galvin then chipped in with a point after he won a throw-in near the 20 meter line to put Garrycastle into the lead for the first time in the game as half time approached. However, Tang responded well and had an equaliser on the stroke of half time to leave the side on 0-5 each at the break.

Garrycastle started the second half in blistering fashion and had two points within the first 4 minutes. The first came from the boot of Robbie Shine and the second from Conor Cosgrove. However, Tang refused to yield and responded with two points within a minute to level matters again. Justin McAteer put Garrycastle ahead again in the 37th minute but that was to prove to be his side’s last score. Tang upped their game and drew level with a free in the 41st minute. Tang took the lead in the 48th minute and a tight finish looked on the cards. A goal for Tang in the 56th minute put them 4 points to the good. Garrycastle tried everything to pull the lead back but came up against a determined Tang defence and could not get the required scores.

Garrycastle will be disappointed to have surrendered their 100% record in this division but can have no complaints on the night. There were good displays from Alan Fox on his return to action after a long period out with injury. He was well assisted by Anthony Larkin and Sean Brennan. Brian Carty and Conor Cosgrove were most prominent in attack in what was a disappointing performance overall from the Garrycastle forward division.

GARRYCASTLE: Stephen McGuire, Gary Mullery, John Murphy, Alan Fox, Sean Brennan, Anthony Larkin, Neil Rattigan, Justin McAteer, Noel Galvin (0-1), Padraig Cosgrove (0-1), Conor Cosgrove (0-3), Brian Carty, Peadar Mulvihill (0-1), Robbie Shine (0-1) and Paul Donovan.

ALL COUNTY LEAGUE Division 7A (4 June 2010)

GARRYCASTLE 4 – 16 MOATE ALL WHITES 0 – 8

Garrycastle Junior B side maintained their 100% record in Division 7A when they made the trip to Moate last Friday evening to take on the home side, who before this game also had a perfect record in the division.

While the scoreline reflects that Garrycastle dominated the proceedings, it does not do justice to a Moate side who gave as good as they got in the opening 20 minutes and were it not for some poor shooting would have been a lot closer at the end. Garrycastle hit the front in the very first minute when Conor Cosgrove hit over a point from play. Moate responded with a point straight away. Conor Cosgrove restored the Garrycastle lead with a point from play only for Moate equalise immediately. Moate hit the front in the 9th minute with a point from a free. An equaliser came for Garrycastle when David McHugh fisted a point in the 13th minute. Moate regained the lead a minute later with yet another point from play, only for Garrycastle to equalise when Noel Galvin converted a free. Moate hit the front again in the 17th minute with a point from play. However, the game took a decisive turn in Garrycastle’s favour in the next attack. Good approach play put David McHugh in the clear and he remained composed to place his shot beyond the goalkeeper for a Garrycastle goal. From that point on the Garrycastle midfield duo of Noel Galvin and Rory McGowan took almost complete control. A point from a Noel Galvin free put his side into a 3 point lead. A second Garrycastle goal arrived in the 24th minute, when Conor Cosgrove got behind the Moate defence and dispatched his shot to the net. A wonderful point from Padraig Cosgrove from the right wing and some 45 meters from goal pushed Garrycastle further ahead and Conor Cosgrove hit yet another point as half time approached. Moate did have the last say on the scoreboard with a point in the 3rd minute of injury tome to leave it 2-7 to 0-6 in Garrycastle’s favour at the break.

Moate started strongly on the resumption but a couple of good opportunities for points were wasted because of poor shooting. Garrycastle had a point from Adam Kennedy. Brian Carty replaced the injured Colman Gantley in the 3rd minute of the second half and was immediately into action and hit over a good point. Conor Cosgrove converted a 45 meter kick and David McHugh had a point to stretch the lead. Another pointed free from Conor Cosgrove put his side 12 points up as Garrycastle dominated throughout the field. Moate had a point from a free in the 45th minute but any faint hope of a recovery was banished a couple of minutes later when Adam Kennedy shot his side’s third goal. Another goal, this time from substitute Paul Mulvihill, only went to emphasise Garrycastle’s dominance. Moate had a point from a free as the game entered its last 10 minutes. However, Garrycastle continued to press forward and points from Rory McGowan, Peadar Mulvihill, Noel Galvin from a free and a second Rory McGowan point were added to the score. On Referee, Declan Nugent’s final whistle, the visitors lead by 4-16 to 0-8.

This was an excellent team performance from Garrycastle who after an initial period took complete control and were worthy winners. There were excellent displays throughout but the contributions of Padraig Donoghue, Sean Brennan, Rory McGowan, Conor Cosgrove and David McHugh deserve special praise.

GARRYCASTLE: John McCrossan, Padraig Donoghue, John Murphy, Gary Mullery, Neil Rattigan, Anthony Larkin, Sean Brennan, Noel Galvin (0-3, 3f), Rory McGowan (0-2), Padraig Cosgrove (0-1), Conor Cosgrove (1-5, 2f, 1 45m), Colman Gantley, Peadar Mulvihill (0-1), Adam Kennedy (1-1) and David McHugh (1-2).

GARRYCASTLE 6-13 BALLINAGORE 1-5

Garrycastle Junior B side continued their fine form with a comprehensive win over the visitors in sunny Garrycastle last Saturday evening. Garrycastle dominated throughout and were never in any danger as they sprinted into an 8 point lead within the first 10 minutes of the game. First half gaols from Conor Cosgrove (2), Justin McAteer and Conor Harrington sent Garrycastle into a half time lead of 4-5 to 1-1 for the visitors.

Garrycastle continued to dominate in the second period; however, to their credit Ballinagore never gave up trying and played much better in the second half. Further goals from Conor Cosgrove and Sean Brennan just went to cement their side’s domination.

GARRYCASTLE 2 - 13 ST JOSEPHS 1 – 5

Garrycastle’s Junior B side got their league campaign off to a winning start last Thursday evening against St Josephs. The game was switched to Streamstown as the Garrycastle pitch was unplayable following the recent wet spell.

Garrycastle made a bright start and registered their first point in the very first minute when Paul Donovan was on the end of a good build up to slot over the score. However, they were rocked back immediately when St Joseph’s first attack saw them get behind the Garrycastle defence and find the back of the net. A close in free was converted by Robbie Shine in Garrycastle’s next attack, but St Josephs restored their 2 point advantage when they converted a free in the 5th minute. Robbie then had a point from open play and Garrycastle were level in the 12th minute thanks to a good point from Noel Galvin. Garrycastle had the upper hand in midfield and this provided a good supply to the forwards. A Garrycastle goal in the 21st minute put them into the lead again as Conor Cosgrove was on hand to blast a shot to the net following good approach play. Another point from Paul Donovan put his side further ahead but this was cancelled out with a St Joseph’s point from play. Garrycastle were guilty of some poor misses at this stage and a number of opportunities were sent wide or possession lost due to over elaboration. A pointed free from Paul Donovan put Garrycastle into a 4 point lead but St Joseph’s reduced the margin to 3 right on the break with a close-in free to leave the score 1-6 to 1-3 in Garrycastle’s favour at the break.

Garrycastle came out in determined fashion at the start of the second half and Conor Cosgrove got his and Garrycastle’s second goal within 3 minutes. A pointed free from the same player enhanced their lead with just 5 minutes of the half gone. At this stage Garrycastle enjoyed almost total domination and reeled off a succession of scores from Brian Carty, Neil Rattigan, Robbie Shine, Paul Donovan and another Robbie Shine free to establish a commanding lead. The lead would have been even greater were it not for some fine goalkeeping from St Joseph’s Ciaran Seery. St Josephs rallied at this stage ad had two well taken points from pay in the 46th and 49th minutes. However, Garrycastle were to get the final score, a pointed free from Conor Cosgrove, with about 7 minutes remaining. The final whistle saw Garrycastle lead by 2-13 to1-5.

This was good performance from this Garrycastle Junior B side playing their first game together. They can look forward to greater challenges ahead but if the players show this level of commitment and skill in their remaining games they can challenge for league honours. There were solid defensive performances from Conor Harrington, Padraig Donoghue, Anthony Larkin and Neil Rattigan. Noel Galvin commanded midfield and was well assisted by Michael O’Donoghue. There was some good play in the forward division, particularly from Padraig Cosgrove, Conor Cosgrove, Robbie Shine and Paul Donovan.

GARRYCASTLE: Stephen McGuire, IanTurley, Anthony Duignan, Conor Harrington, Padraig Donoghue, Anthony Larkin, Neil Rattigan (0-1), Michael O’Donoghue, Noel Galvin (0-1), Conor Cosgrove (2-2, 0-2f), Padraig Cosgrove,, Brian Carty (0-1), Paul Mulvihill, Robbie Shine (0-4, 2f) and Paul Donovan (0-4, 1f).
