A-team were at home to Moyne yesterday in the first round of the Leinster junior cup and had a hard earned 5-4 victory after extra time.
Corach’s B team hosted Castledockrell on Sunday in the afternoon kickoff. The boys continued their 100% start to the season with an incredible 10-2 victory. There will surely be tougher days ahead but these men are definitely a force to be reckoned with.
Corach Ladies got back to business with a 5-1 away win. Sarah Eustace, Shannon McDonald and Sinéad O’Connor put us 3-0 up before a dodgy peno in the 59th minute of the first half saw the half time score at 3-1. Geraldine Curtis and Claire Eustace ensured the win in the second half.
Under-13s got their season off to a 4-3 loss today to Cloughbawn. Goals from Cillian Cullen (2) and Alex Power (1)
Under-15s got their season off to a good start this afternoon at home v Ballymurn Celtic. Goals from Dylan Murphy, Joe Devlin (2) and Ben Smith sealed a 4-2 win with standout performances from Cathal Cummins, Cody Meyler and Micheál Dundon. These boys have a lot more in the tank and if they continue to work hard could be serious contenders this season.
