Carrigaline utd A 0 Bandon 2
After a prolonged break the "A" were back in action with two games in four days. Bandon were the visitors for this evening kick off & from the start put a lot of
pressure on the Carrigaline back four. They however found the Carrigaline rear guard in fine form & had to work hard to break them down. Bandon fired in
some long range shots but keeper Kealan Daly was equal to the task. Carrigaline worked hard and gradually began to give there visitors something to think
about when Sam Healy raced through the Bandon defense only to have his goal bound blocked for a corner.This rallied the home team & Carrigaline began to win the midfield battle as there confidence grew. However after 20 minutes Bandon making a quick break away beat the offside trap to fire in a low rasping shot which Kealan Daly saved superbly but Bandon were quickest to the rebound to score. Bandon put further pressure on the home and almost scored a second but for great clearance off the line by full back Luke Williams.
The second half started and the play was fairly even until Bandon got a second midway through the half. Carriagline showed great character and began to dominate game with forwards Michael McGrath and Josh Cooney gave Bandon a hard time. Despite Carrigaline being camped in the Bandon half for the
last fifteen minutes they could not break down a strong and determined Bandon defence and were unlucky to have a penalty appeal turned down with five
minutes remaining when the Bandon keeper and Michael McGrath clashed. It wasn't to be Carrigaline's day but it was not for a lack of trying.
Carriagline Squad: Kealan Daly,Luke Williams,James Lester,John Maxwell,Stephen Holden,Blake O'Connor,David O'Hara (capt),Anthony Boyle,Arron McCarthy,Scott Fitzpatrick,Daniel Canty,Josh Cooney,Brien Noonan,Michael McGrath,Sam Healy,Sam Fitzgibbon.
Best for Carrigaline Sam Healy, Luke Williams & John Maxwell

one down after two minutes when swift play let the Castleview forwards through to score.Carrigaline found it hard to come to terms with the speed of the Catleview forwards and were three down after 20 minutes .Jack Howard and Sam Fitzgibbon began to control the midfield with tigerish tackles which broke down the Castleview attacks and setting up the home team forwards of Ethan Mcauliffe and Ricky Power who slowly began to trouble the visitors defence and went close on a couple of ocasions.
After the interval the home team dominated the entire second half the defence marshelled superbly by Stephen Holden who also cleared off the line to stop a certain goal. As Carrigaline pushed forward they were award a penalty with 10 minutes remaining when Michael Mcgrath was fouled when straight through on goal.
Jack Howard placed the ball low in the corner to reward the home team for their efforts.Carrigaline could improve any further on the scoreline and unfortunatly the poor start was to be their downfall, but once again great character was shown by these young lads who are improving with each game.

Carrigaline united "A" 0 Riverstown 2
Carrigaline & Riverstown kept up with the festive season as both teams helped produce a feast of football which would have been a credit to any league.From the kick off both teams got onto their stride playing free flowing football with great passing moves and plenty of attacking play. Both teams were evenly matched with debut boy Jack Howard playing great football and tormenting the Riverstown defence with great link up play with Josh Cooney on the wing.Sam Healy played well in midfield surging forward to cause problems for the Riverstown defence but credit to Riverstown their defence stood firm.From a throw in on the left Rivestown played the ball to the opposite flank & caught the Carrigaline defence (who up to that point were very solid) flatfooted to score low in the corner after 19 minutes.Carrigaline got straight back into the game and spent the rest of the half in Riverstown's half of the pitch.
Three corners in sucession meant desperate defending by Riverstown and Carrigaline were denied three times when somehow Riverstown managed to get blocks in to deny Carrigaline an equaliser before the break.Carrigaline were confident of achieving a result at half time and the second half produced more exciting football.Carrigaline's defence played very well mainly with Luke Johnson in the centre cutting out many through balls and Luke Williams who had a very busy morning shutting up shop on the right.With ten minutes remaing Riverstown's striker using his superior strenght and height to break through the home defence to score the visitors second.Again Carrigline rallied and finished the stronger and skipper David O'Hara shot narrowly wide in the closing minutes. Carrigaline were unlucky not to get something out of this game and by the Riverstown's manager's own words this was their toughest game so far this season.Best for Carrigaline were Luke Williams and Jack Howard. Match squad ; Kealan Daly, Luke Williams,Luke Johnson,Brien Noonan,Scott Fitzpatrick,Josh Cooney,David O'Hara (capt), Sam Healy,Gearoid O'Donovan,John Maxwell,Jack Howard,James Lester,Sean Mullane,Aaron McCarthy,Daniel Canty,Stephen Holden. | |

Carrigaline Utd. "A" 0 Greenwood 4
On Sunday 25th Nov the"A" Team played host to Greenwood at Ballea Park, Carrigaline got off to be a bad start when hesitation in the defence allowed Greenwood to go one up courtesy of an own goal after 7 mins.This gave Greenwood a boost which Carrigaline slowly came to grips with however Greenwood added two more before the break. A few changes at half time helped Carrigaline to get into the game more with strong defending from Luke Johnson & Stephen Holden & great goalkeeping once again from Kealan Daly. Carrigaline grew in confidence and some good play down the wings by Scott Fitzpatrick & Josh Cooney to feed strikers Luke Williams & Michael McGrath who were unlucky on their breaks not to get the bounce of the ball which allowed Greenwood's defenders to get to cover.Greenwood got a fourth midway through the second half but Carrigaline kept playing right to the final whistle. Although another defeat, this Carrigaline team who are playing in a very tough division are showing great promise and are determined to get there first win. Carrigaline's man of the match Stephen Holden.

Avondale Utd. 3 Carrigaline Utd. "A" 0
Carrigaline "A" team travelled to Beaumount recently to take on Avondale. The home team took the lead on 5 minutes when the Avondale striker turned sharply and sent a low drive to the bottom corner of the net. Carrigaline faced an barrage of pressure from the home team for the next 10 minutes but with goalkeeper and man of the match Kealan Daly in superb form Carrigaline worked their way into this game and caused Avondale a few problems and with a bit of luck might have gone in at the break on level terms. Carrigaline made 3 changes at half time and these players took up where their teamates left off with fine inter passing movements broke through Avondale's defence on a couple of occasions but it was not to be their day.Avon dale regained the upper hand & had to work hard to score twice before the final whistle.This was fine performance from a Carrigaline team who have had tough time so far but the signs are very promising for the future.All 16 players played superbly and can feel proud of the effort and good football they produced on the day.

Cork Schoolboys League
Carrigaline United A 0.
Rockmount 6.
The Division 1 outfit under the guidance of Tom Noonan and Steve Williams also went under by the same scoreline to city rivals Rockmount. Carrigaline were under the cosh from the off but fought stoutly nonetheless. Dogged defending by Keelan Daly, Sean Mullane and Brian Noonan kept the Rockmount attack at bay for the first quarter of the game. However three quick goals 15 minutes before the interval had the Mayfield team in front. The Carrig net-minder, Stephen Holden, was unlucky to be lobbed on a couple of occasions but also made some great saves. David O'Hara and Daniel Canty turned in good performances in midfield and Gearóid O'Donovan impressed down the left. Rory O'Herlihy displayed some great dribbling skills up front along with Josh Cooney. This was a gutsy performance from this team and to their credit they battled all the way to the final whistle.
Squad: Stephen Holden, Luke Williams, Brían Noonan, Keelan Daly, Rory O'Herlihy, Josh Cooney, Sam Healy, Scott Fitzpatrick, Daniel Canty, David O'Hara, Séan Mullane, Ethan McAuliffe, Gearóid O'Donovan.
