GOLF CLASSIC: Huge well done and thank you to all the teams who participated in the first part of our Golf Classic in Castletroy Golf Club on Friday. Due to Storm Ellen our Golf Classic had to be split into two afternoons rather than completing it in the one day like years previous.

JUNIOR A HURLING: Our Juniors travelled back to Patrickswell last Sunday morning for a challenge match - missing a few regulars, it was still great to see 20+ players togged off. First half, we hit a few wides early on, but got into our groove entering the second quarter, 0-9 to 0-5 up at the water break and 0-12 to 0-7 up at half time.

Patrickswell blitzed us at the start of the second half, scoring 7 unanswered points to lead us by a point with only 4 mins gone. Leading in to the second water break, we hit a few bad wides, but were up by one, 0-16 to 0-15. Patrickswell won the last quarter, outscoring us 1-6 to 0-3, their goal coming in the 28th min, to take the win 1-21 to 0-19. Good run out though, 21 players getting a run, ahead of Championship 2020's return on September 6 against Doon.

Team - C Hickey (M Moloney, HT), S Whelan ( E Balfry, 59'), Da Murnane, D McNamara (J Heelan, 43'), N Tierney, G Murphy (0-1, 1f), A Nelligan, A Power (0-2), E Nelligan, Js Enright (0-2), B Hourigan (0-6), Jk Enright (0-1) (Di Murnane, HT), K Wixted (0-6, 5f)), P Tiernan (S Kenny, 46'), J Kennedy (0-1) (B Kennedy, HT). Subs: J Ryan, P Ryan.

MINOR HURLING: This was a game that, for long periods, looked a bridge too far for us, but in the end, our lads came within a few scores of sneaking it. Knockaderry dominated the first half, playing a standard of hurling that wouldn't look out of place a few divisions above us.

At half time, they led 1-15 to 0-05 and we knew it would take a huge effort to pull this back. But serious credit due to our lads, they never let the heads drop and within 2 mins of the second half, Jack McElligott had rattled the net. That seemed to spur Knockaderry on though and they rattled our net twice within 60 seconds, to see them ahead 3-17 to 1-06. At the water break, with 14 left to play, they had a 16 point lead, but our lads really played out of their skin in the last quarter, out-scoring Knockaderry 3-6 to 0-3 (2 more goals from Jack & 1 from Jake Kennedy). At the final whistle, Knockaderry had a 4 point win, 3-22 to 4-15. For a number of our players, that was their last game at minor level. All at the club would like to thank them for their commitment to Caherline GAA over the years and we wish them well in the adult grades.

Team - H Murnane, N Connaughton, C McGrath, S O'Dwyer, S McAnulty, Di Murnane, P O'Dea, J Kennedy (1-8, 6f, 1 ‘65), J Carroll (0-2), K O'Dea, M O'Connor, C Martin (0-4, 1f), C Enright, J McElligott (3-0), A McNamara. Subs: S McGrath, P Ryan (0-1, 1f).

U14 HURLING: Our U14's did themselves proud against a strong Ballybricken Fedamore side last Wednesday evening in Caherelly. The scoreline is a bit unfair to them, given the effort they all put in, but the key now is to train well ahead of our next outing at home to Knockainey on August 26. Final score, Caherline 1- 4 Ballybricken Fedamore 3-8.

Team: T Carroll, C O'Connor, T Spencer, C Partridge, M Boland, S McElligott (0-1, 1f), A Murnane, R Hehir, R Moloney, F Horgan, J Boland (0-2, 2f), C Casey (0-1), P McCarthy, J Gavin, E Martin. Subs: S Tiernan, O Heelan, J Kiely (1-0).

U12 HURLING: Good game of hurling back in Patrickswell last Thursday evening, in wet and windy conditions. We played 9 a-side due to low numbers on the opposition side, plenty of room for the lads to roam as a result. Well played lads, final score Caherline 3-6 Patrickswell 2-9.

Panel: S O'Dwyer, O Heelan, S Casey, A Ryan, R Moloney, Jm Kiely, M Boland, E Martin (2-6), R Mannion, P Power, C O'Dwyer (1-0), M Koyce, C Tiernan, M Hourigan, C Ryan.

U10 HURLING: Our U10's travelled back to Cappamore last Friday evening for the first round of this year's competition. Panel - Noel, William, Aaron, Richie, Philip, Oisin, Emmet, Daire, Rhys M, Rhys L, Danny, Emily, Ava, Niamh & Lily.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL: We played Oola in the first round of the junior championship on Tuesday night. A lively first half with good football played by both teams, a John Griffin goal had us in front at half time 1-7 to 0-7. Oola started the second half well and took their chances with a close range goal and a penalty. However our boys never gave up and battled to the end with keeper Tom Myles pulling off some great saves. Goals from Rory Conaghan and Darragh O’Keeffe left us all square when referee John Scully blew the final whistle. Final score Oola 2-12 to 3-9 Fedamore.

The junior footballers played the second round of their football championship on Sunday night with Knockane the opponents behind closed doors in Fedamore. With our Treasurer starting corner forward and our PRO starting full forward both social media updates and our weekly lotto draw were on hold for a few hours as on field matters took precedence. Knockane, beaten county finalists last year started brightly playing some very attractive football. A fortunate goal for the men in green and white and scores from Craig McNamara ensured we were two points up at half time. A fast paced 2nd half ensured that both teams used their bench effectively. A deft Hugh O’Donnell point kept the scoreboard ticking over for us. We had a two point lead heading towards stoppage time but credit to Knockane for drawing level with some well taken scores. Wides followed for both teams and it took a last minute point from Darragh O’Keeffe to leave us in a winning position after referee Mark Murphy's final whistle. Final score Fedamore 1-9 to 0-11 Knockane. Team from Tom Myles, John Bourke, Eoin Enright, G reg Power, Tom Keogh, Conor O’Keeffe, Colin Haigney, Paul Treacy, Darragh O’Keeffe, Craig McNamara, Seaghan Gleeson, Rory Conaghan, Eoghan Hurley, Padraig Kelleher, Hugh O’Donnell, Eoin McCormack, Tom Shinney, Mike Shinney, John Griffin, Dinny Cronin, Joe Powell, Damien Keehan.

MUNGRET ST PAULS

U16 HURLING: We had both our teams out on Monday August 17. Our Division 1 team traveled to Doon where they came up against a slightly stronger side with Doon seeing them off with a 2 goal win. Mungret St. Pauls had a good start going in at half time with a one point lead but it was Doon that broke through a tight Mungret St. Pauls defence to win  2-16 to 0-16. Our U16 Division 3 team traveled to the Bog garden to play Croagh, Kilfinny, Rathkeale. This is Mungret St. Pauls second team in this age group so know they would be up against bigger opposition, not letting this bother them they pulled together and worked at their score while holding back Croagh, Kilfinny, Rathkeale from scoring more. Final score Mungret St Pauls 1-4 Croagh, Kilfinny, Rathkeale 4-14.

JUNIOR B HURLING: Mungret St. Pauls 1-10 Ballybrown 1-10. We settled in well into the match we were 4 points up on Ballybrowns 3 by the first quarter. A powerful strike from a 20 yard line saw the sliotar being tipped into the back of the Ballybrown net. The half time score was Mungret St. Pauls 1-9 Ballybrown 1-6. The second half was more Ballybrowns game as it ended up coming down to endurance. Ballybrown had leveled the score by the second water break making Mungret St. Pauls dig deep to bring themselves to holding Ballybrown back from trying to hit the net a second time and getting the ball into the forwards to do some damage. There was only one more point for each side before the final whistle to bring the drama to a stop with both teams on the same score. Team; Darragh O'Grady, Donal Browne, Johnny Kenny, Brian Mullane, Padraig McGuinness, Killian Stockill (0-4, 4frees), Patrick Dwane, Mikey Drane, Mark Patterson, Mark Boyle, Aaron Hickey (1-2), Tim Lehane (0-3), Mikey Barrons, Denis O'Connor (0-1), Thiago Silva, John Roche, David Keogh, Joe Browne. Management; Niall Long, Donie Browne, John McKeogh, John Moriarty.

MINOR CAMOGIE: Mungret St. Pauls 2-8 Blackrock Effin 9-8. This was the Plate Final on Wednesday August 19 with Mungret St. Pauls lucky to host it against a very strong Blackrock Effin team who became deserving winners in the end. Mungret St. Pauls started out strong keeping the ball with their forwards and midfield they had 4 points up before Blackrock Effin emerged and started to dominate. Blackrock Effin began with a goal but did not leave it at that, they put a lot of pressure on our players as they continued to hail the sliotar at the goal posts going 3-5 up before Mungret St. Pauls clocked up another two points. Going into half time Blackrock Effin added another 2-1 to their tally. Mungret St. Pauls reset the pitch and prepared for another battle, both sides hit the net within minutes of each other and also scored a point each. A point for Mungret St. Pauls was replied with the Blackrock Effin team having to work harder to get their scores but they managed another 3 goals and a point. Mungret St. Pauls kept on trying to get their scores but the Blackrock Effin backs seemed to know what our players were doing and kept blocking them down. Not giving up, one of the many runs up the pitch and pasted some of the Blackrock Effin players the ball was seen flying through the air and past the goalie, this unfortunately was the last score of the game as Blackrock Effin were presented with the plaque. Well done to our players who never gave up and worked very hard. Team; Amy O'Halloran, Jenny Lynch, Sophie O'Brien, Molly MacMahon, Fiona Meehan, Eimear O'Keeffe, Aisling McGuinness, Ailbhe Larkin (0-2, 2 frees), Fiona O'Brien, Aoife Morrissey (2-4), Tara Neilan, Bronagh Byrne, Aine Joyce, Jenny Ryan (0-1), Amy Connolly, Alannah McDonagh, Caoimhe Holmes, Ciara Brennan, Ciara Flahive Ella Mason, Ellie Mulqueen, Emma Fitzgerald, Niamh Browne, Zoe Page. Management Mike Lynch, Sinead Hickey, John MacMahon, Dermot Morrissey, Brian O'Halloran

PREMIER MINOR HURLING: Mungret St. Pauls 1-16 Ballybrown 2-19. Mungret St. Pauls got home advantage on Friday August 21 and with the sun shining the stage was set. Mungret St. Pauls started out with a strong first half performance, the first 3 minutes saw Mungret St. Pauls score 3 points. It took another 3 minutes before Ballybrown opened their score with 2 points from frees. At the first water break Mungret St. Pauls had added to their lead with another 3 points to Ballybrowns two. Straight back to the game and Mungret St. Pauls expanded by another 2 points. Ballybrown were never going to sit back and they finished out the half stronger with five unanswered points and taking the lead. Mungret St. Pauls 0-8 Ballybrown 0-9. Mungret St. Pauls regained the lead in the opening minutes of the second half but not for long as Ballybrown struck back with a goal and 3 points, it was this score that Mungret St. Pauls chased for the rest of the game and were unsuccessful in their attempt to over power Ballybrown enough to to regain the lead. Mungret St. Pauls kept the pressure on the Ballybrown defense with many attempts just barely staying out of the goal. Mungret St. Pauls took what score they could from frees while the Ballybrown midfield were placing scores on the run. There were a few more exchanges of scores on both sides and with time running out there was a bit of urgency in the Mungret St. Pauls players seeking a goal to help the score along they eventually managed to squeeze the ball past the goalie. It was Ballybrown that was last to score and take the game. This result left Mungret St. Pauls in second place in the group and in a quarter final while Ballybrown go straight into the Semi Final stage.

PATRICKSWELL

U21 FINAL: The U-21 hurlers suffered a narrow defeat against Doon in the Premier Championship County Final. The final was level at 0-11 each at half time. The second half was extremely intense and keenly contested. Doon surged ahead by 0-14 to 0-11 by the 35th minute as Patrickswell struggled to score. However, Damien Gillane's men recorded four points from Jason Gillane (0-3) and Patrick Kirby during a sixteen-minute spell in which Doon failed to raise a flag. The clock ticked to 55 minutes and Patrickswell were 0-15 to 0-14 ahead. The match was destined for a dramatic conclusion as the two sides were virtually inseparable. Unfortunately, Doon found a higher gear and they claimed three straight points to edge ahead at 0-18 to 0-16 in the 62nd minute. Doon weathered the late storm and ran out 0-18 to 0-17 winners. Hard luck to the players and management.

MINOR HURLERS: The Minor hurlers ended their Championship campaign with a loss at home to Doon. Patrick Kirby got Patrickswell off the mark in the first minute; however Doon plundered 1-6 without reply in eight minutes. Patrick Kirby's second point of the match was a brief respite as Doon accumulated 1-3 in another ten-minute spell. In the 22nd minute, Doon led by 2-9 to 0-2. Patrick Kirby's third point was met with three consecutive points to establish a 2-12 to 0-3 buffer. Eoin Harmon and John Kirby put their names on the scoresheet before half-time although Doon scored four points in the same period. The half-time score was 2-16 to 0-5. The second half witnessed a comeback by John Murphy's boys. Doon claimed the first point of the half, but Patrick Kirby and Sam McNamara responded with points.

Doon re-emerged to score four points in six minutes, sandwiched around a point from Niall Kerins. The score was 2-22 to 0-11 when Eoin Harmon embarked on a spell of four points in seven minutes. As the match reached injury time, Doon led by 2-23 to 0-15. Cian O'Gorman notched a point and Josh Carey scored a superb goal by kicking the sliotar into the roof of the net.

PALLASGREEN

INTERMEDIATE FOOTBALL: The Intermediate football team made the journey to the Bog Garden in Rathkeale last Saturday evening to face Gerald Griffins in their first outing of 2020. A poor start led to a goal and two points inside five minutes for the westerners and this laid the foundation for their victory on a 2-13 to 1-3 scoreline. The scoreline flattered the Gerald Griffins outfit as Pallas had supremacy in a majority of aspects of the game but couldn’t convert good scoring opportunities. Pallas battled their way into the game with a goal from a Seamus Mulcahy penalty after Colm McMahon was taken down in the box. Kevin Barry pointed to leave the minimum between the sides after thirteen minutes. Griffins added three more points before the water break and led by 1-5 to 1-2. Pallas were playing catch up and at the break were trailing by 1-2 to 1-7. The second period and facing the elements it was going to be a tough ask, and this what it proved to be. Gerald Griffins added three more points before scoring their second goal to lead by 2-10 to 1-2 and left a mountain to climb. Sub Diarmuid Hayes scored Pallas only second half score a point but the game was beyond reach and Gerald Griffins with their tails up ran out winners by 2-13 to 1-3. 

LADIES FOOTBALL: The Junior Ladies football will play Croom in the Championship in Pallas thus Sunday at 3pm.

LOTTO: No winner Monday August 17 draw; Numbers drawn; 16, 20, 21, 24. Lucky Dip Winners: James Buckley, Christine Heelan, Liz O’Connor, Gerry O’Donnell, Jane Greene. €100 voucher winner for Pallas Bar & Bistro; Stacia Murphy.
