CORACH RAMBLERS NEWS
The Men’s A side had a long and eventful day today in the first round of the Neil O’Sullivan Cup. The game ended 1-1 with Hermy on target and only 10 players on the pitch. Extra time ended 2-2. Niall Harney’s free kick was saved but Conor was in the right place to tap it in. The drama finally ended with a 9-8 penalty shoot out win with Kieran Furlong saving two along the way. Well done, lads.
Unfortunately the B side ran into a tough Cloughbawn side and were soundly beaten.
The ladies lost 1-0 to Bree Utd in a frustrating game that they should have won well and tightened their grip on the league title.
Fair play to all our underage players who braved some nasty weather on Saturday. Hard luck to the hard working under-14 boys who lost 1-0 to Courtown Hibs. The under-12 boys reversed this scoreline when they won 1-0 v Ferns Utd with a goal from Alex Lambert. Finally, hard luck to the under-12 girls who were beaten 5-0 by the All Blacks.
The club would like to acknowledge the success of some underage players. Congratulations to Laura McCarthy who made the under-13 county panel – Lorcan Breen at Youths level and Shane Carroll and Cillian Cullen, who now have a Leinster final to look forward to with the under-15 county side.
Off the pitch William Cullenton won a trip for two to Old Trafford to watch a game (plus flights/ hotel) in the recent FAI draw and Anna Chatman won €510 in the clubs split-the-pot.
