Ibrickane’s take spoils in derby

Kilmurry Ibrickane 2-6 – St Joseph’s Miltown 0-7 at Hennessy Memorial Park, Miltown

KILMURRY Ibrickane’s unbeaten run in this year’s Cusack Cup continued with this local derby victory on Sunday morning as goals by Noel Downes and Stephen Moloney steered them to a deserved five-point victory over a Miltown side, playing their second game inside 48 hours.

The main business of Miltown’s hectic weekend was championship on Friday – proof, not that anyone needed it, came when their matchwinner from their meeting with Doora-Barefield, Dessie Molohan was marked absent.

He was missed, as were the likes of Eoin Curtin and Darragh McMahon as a much-changed St Joseph’s succumbed to a Kilmurry side playing well within themselves to record their fifth successive league win.

Miltown started well with the wind and three Kevin Keavey points inside the first 13 minutes had them in control, but their early advantage was wiped out by a 1-1 Kilmurry blast by the 19th minute.

Stephen Moloney opened their account with a point in the 18th minute, while a minute later a great run from deep by Paul O’Connor carved open the Miltown defence before Noel Downes clinically finished to the net beyond Niall Quinn to put Kilmurry 1-1 to 0-3 clear.

It was the winning of the game really, even though closing Miltown points from Gary Egan and Micheál Malone in response to an Ian McInerney free in the 21st minute, left the side deadlocked at the interval.

It was because of the wind advantage that Kilmurry eventually drove home in the second half. They opened the scoring through a Noel Downes effort from play in the 35th minute, only for Miltown to hit back with points from Gary Egan and Kevin Keavey by the 45th minute.

However, Miltown failed to raise another flag and a brilliant Seamus Lynch point in the 47th minute levelled the sides, before Ian McInerney put the winners ahead with another free in the 50th minute.

Then they killed off the game in the 54th minute when Downes cut through the Miltown rearguard to tee up Stephen Moloney for his matchwinning goal.

Dillon shows the way for the Magpies

Doonbeg 2-10 – Liscannor 0-07 at Liscannor

DOONBEG were already assured of the semi-final berth before making the journey up the N67 for this 2010 county final re-match against Liscannor, but there was still no letting up as they comfortably claimed their fifth win of the campaign.

Liscannor were without their midfield talisman Brian Considine because of a broken nose, while the Magpies fielded 12 of the side that started the championship opener the previous weekend against Lissycasey.

In truth they had the points wrapped up by half-time as they stormed into a 1-7 to 0-3 interval lead – David Tubridy showing the way with points, while Paul Dillon further staked his claim for a permanent starting spot with a goal that helped open up that seven-point gap.

Liscannor looked to the half-forward line for scores, with Niall Considine chipping in with two points over the hour, while Alan Clohessy hit five. However, any hope of retrieving the situation in the second half was killed off by a David Tubridy goal as the Magpies eased to a nine-point victory.

The defeat keeps Liscannor in relegation trouble ahead of their final game this weekend against Kilmurry Ibrickane. However, victory could still catapult them to safety and into a semifinal at the semi-final. That’s the thin line they’re walking on.

Molohan brings points to Miltown

St Joseph’s Miltown 1-7 – St Joseph’s Doora-Barefield 1-4 at St Michael ’s Park, Kilmihil

IT was emotional for Doora-Barefield players after the death of their team-mate Niall White, but honouring his memory and contribution to football in The Parish by way of a victory wasn’t to be on Friday night as Miltown ground their way to the two points in this battle of the two St Josephs’.

The Josephs’ from Doora-Barefield were left to rue what could have been – they hit seven very bad wides when playing against the wind in a first half they dominated for periods, a profligacy they paid a high price for at the game’s end.

Meanwhile, in celebrating a winning start to their 2011 campaign the Miltown St Joseph’s were left to praise the left boot of Dessie Molohan – the one that ignited their challenge in the first half with a brilliant 18th minute goal; the one that thumped over three points in the second half, with the final one from play in the 59th minute finally killing off the limited DooraBarefield challenge.

If you haven’t guessed already, this was a turgid, low-quality affair, one that was only illuminated by Molohan’s goal that came eight minutes after Aidan O’Connor had marked his first senior championship game in eight years (he played with Éire Óg in the 2003 campaign) with a tenth minute goal when he latched onto a David O’Brien centre and lashed to the net from five yards.

It should have been the spark for Doora-Barefield to drive home their early supremacy that was built on Mark Hallinan’s aerial ability in midfield and an impressive defensive unit in which Kevin Dilleen and Sean Flynn were outstanding.

However, the Doora-Barefield forwards were lamentable and a point via a 22nd minute free from O’Connor was all they had to show for their labours as Miltown amazingly found themselves 1-2 to 1-1 up at the break.

A Gordon Kelly burst from centre back helped tee up Molohan’s goal that he drilled to the net from a very tight angle, while Micheál Malone, who grew into the game made a burst in the 23rd minute and landed a fine point.

Those scores and the way they came about were a portent of things to come, because on the turnover it was Miltown who showed the greater resolve – Gordon Kelly carried from deep, they dominated midfield, while sub John Meade made a telling contribution as they forged 1-4 to 1-1 clear by the 35th minute thanks to points from Gearóid Curtin and a Dessie Molohan free.

After points by Cathal Duggan (2) and Aidan O’Connor had DooraBarefield level by the 45th minute it Dessie Molohan who showed the way for Miltown when drilling a 45 in the wind and over the bar in the 47th minute.

Miltown never looked back; Barefield waited too long to bring on subs in the forwards and paid the price when captain Eoin Curtin and Molohan closed out the game with points from play.

Reversal of fortunes for storming Gaels

Shannon Gaels 1-13 – Clondegad 0-15 at Labasheeda

SHANNON Gaels showed that there’s life after a championship defeat, bouncing back from their reverse against Cratloe the previous weekend to gather two precious league points in their fight against relegation.

It was all down to their inside line in which John Paul O’Neill and Michael Coughlan contributed 110 between them as the Gaels just edged this entertaining encounter that ebbed and flowed as much as the nearby Shannon Estuary.

It was O’Neill’s goal seven minutes into the second half that kick-started the Gaels’ strong second half showing, coming at time when Clondegad had kicked on from their 0-7 to 0-6 interval lead with points from Paudge McMahon (2) and Gary Brennan to lead by four points.

However, O’Neill’s strike, coupled with his brace by points by the 39th minute as he gave his marker Paddy O’Connell a torrid time of it, teed up a fight to the death in which the Gaels’ greater experience held sway.

It was close all the way through – points by Michael Coughlan (2), John Paul O’Neill and Shane Tubridy to replies by Gary Brennan (2) and Paudge McMahon left the Gaels 0-4 to 0-3 ahead by the 15th minute.

Clondeged forged 0-7 to 0-5 clear by the 22nd minute thanks to three more McMahon points and another from Brennan, with O’Neill and Coughlan keeping them within their sights with points before the break to leave the minimum between the sides.

With John Paul O’Neill moved to full-forward in the second half it turned into a battle between the two last lines of the attack – Brennan and McMahon leading the Clondegad charge early on before the complexion of the game changed radically after O’Neill’s goal.

Clondegad did bounce back with a four-point blast via Brennan, Kenneth Kelly and Paudge McMahon by the 48th minute to lead by 0-14 to 1-8, but the closing ten minutes were dominated by the Gaels when their final resurgence was flagged by a Francis Cleary point when he thundered up the field from corner-back.

It was followed by points from John Paul O’Neill, Michael Coughlan to level matters by the 54th minutes before Sean Reynolds hit the lead score in the 57th minute. From there the Gaels were not to be denied as another John Paul O’Neill point edged them two ahead before Paudge McMahon eighth of the day left the minimum between the sides at the end at the end.

Lissycasey take it by one point

AN INTRIGUING game for more than one reason on Saturday evening. Firstly, due to their intense rivalry that peaked in the 2006 and ‘07 county finals; the fact that Lissycasey legend Martin Daly is the current manager of Éire Óg while the reverse was true of Barry Keating while there was also the small matter of Éire Óg needing the victory to secure their semi-final place while Lissycasey required the points just to stay alive in the division after a disappointing start.

True to form, it turned out to be an inch tight contest that see-sawed in both directions before Lissycasey snatched it with a late brace of points.

The Townies had the better of the opening half’s exchanges to hold a 0-7 to 0-5 advantage but the second half livened up considerably with Lissycasey mounting a full recovery through a Martin Moran penalty. Éire Óg’s reply was also through the penalty spot from captain Stephen Hickey and it looked to have been enough to take all the points when holding a 1-11 to 1-10 lead with time almost up.

There was enough time to mount one final rally though and a late brace completed by Francis Hayes’ winner could yet be a pivotal score in Lissycasey’s season.

Kennedy ‘Trapped’

A LOT of people forget that way back when things were rotten, that it was a junior team that showed the way for Clare hurling, winning a Munster final three days after the seniors were pummelled by Tipperary in their final, then going on to win the All-Ireland in Croke Park.

Still, being intermediate manager is a tough station – the seniors are the flagship team, the minors and the under 21 have a higher profile; the juniors are left to pick up the crumbs.

That’s what manager Kevin Kennedy must have thought many times over the past few months as he tried to piece together a panel of players to try and win a first Munster title in grade for 16 years.

“It was frustrating,” he says. “Very frustrating. I’m like Trappatoni. I’m depending on clubs to release players. There are players who don’t want to play for their county. Isn’t that great?

“There were number of players that I asked and they just weren’t interested. Then there were the clubs. Club managers wouldn’t release players for training. It’s practically impossible to prepare a team. What we did was gathered a group of players who were interested and we really pushed it for the last few weeks after the first two rounds of the club championship were over,” adds.

It was the arrival of Niall Gilligan and Tony Carmody into the squad that gave things a huge lift. “It gave lads a huge lift,” says Kennedy, “and now the players we have now are interested and very committed. Whether we’re good enough remains to be seen, because Cork are supposed to be very good.

“There is no doubt about it but there is a team in Clare that could be got together to win a Munster and All-Ireland title in this grade. Two or three years ago we had a good team and we were in a semi-final against Limerick. Ciaran Carey played for Limerick and was the difference between the sides. That’s why I invited the two lads in.”

With Gilligan and Carmody up front, the blend between youth and experience is provided by the younger brigade of Martin Duggan, Ivor Whyte and the precociously talented Daire Keane.

“I would have liked to have got more young fellas,” says Kennendy. “A few under 21s but the problem is that the under 21 management are not interested in having young fellas moving from one panel to the next.

“There are two or three fellas who would on the team, who are under 21 but didn’t join me. I can do nothing about that.

“We played two challenge matches against Galway and Limerick and were impressive in putting up big scores, but unfortunately we were conceding goals.

“That’s a worry, but I think we have the forwards this year to make a difference,” adds the 1997 All-Ireland winning manager.

Amalgamation hold off Tulla rally to take title

Crusheen/Tubber 6-9 – Tulla 5-2 at Cusack Park, Ennis

AN ELEVEN goal thriller that was swung Crusheen/Tubber’s way by a power packed display of hurling laced with accuracy and skill in Clare headquarters. The winners who were the better side overall delivered the crucial scores early in the game and with a solid defensive display held out despite a spirited late rally from the Tulla boys.

Crusheen/Tubber who won the Under 12D in 2009, demonstrated the steady progress made by leading from start to finish to capture their latest crown. First half goal from Breffni Horner (2), John Fawl and Colin Waters saw the north Clare amalgamation lead by an impressive 4-6 to 0-0 at the break with Tulla unable to pass the dominant Crusheen half back line and midfield led ably by Ronan Monahan.

Tulla, who would have been hopeful of a resurgence aided by the wind for the second half, saw their progress halted further by three delightful moments of skill by Ross Hayes as he bagged 1-2 minutes into the new half. He rounded off the end of the third quarter with his second goal as Crusheen went 26 points clear.

The loudest cheer of the year was reserved for Tulla’s Aaron O’Halloran when he found the net for their very first score after 50 minutes. To their credit they dominated the last ten minutes adding 4-2 without reply through Sean McNamara (2-0), Aaron O Halloran (0-2), Owen Shanahan (1-0) and Matthew Culloo (1-0) but admirable as the recovery proved to be, the title’s destination was already decided. Best for the winners were Gavin O’Brien, Brian McDonagh, Ronan Monahan,Stephen O’Halloran, Colin Waters, Ross Hayes and John Fawl. Tulla had solid displays from Conor Dinan, Brian Fahy, Sean McNamara, Aaron O’Halloran, Matthew Culloo, Darragh Murphy and Thor Ligtvoet.

McInerney boots Cratloe home to victory

Cratloe 2-11 – Shannon Gaels 2-09 at Cusack Park, Ennis

CRATLOE were forced to dig deep to take all two points from a tense and compelling encounter with Shannon Gaels on Saturday.

Michael Coughlan’s 60th minute free looked to have rescued a share of the spoils for the Gaels but Cratloe came again.

Last season’s quarter-finalists forced a free a minute into injury time. The ever-reliable Cathal McInerney converted his eighth placed ball of the evening before Sean Collins slotted over the insurance point a minute later.

It was hard luck on the Gaels who had done enough to earn at least a point.

Carefully guarding possession, they defended with purpose and concentration to restrict Cratloe to just three points from play. John Neylon, Michael O’Donoghue and Michael Coughlan were instrumental throughout while at full-forward John Paul O’Neill caused Barry Duggan plenty of worrying moments before the Clare full-back was withdrawn through injury in the second half.

Still there was greater movement and menace about Cratloe, particularly when Padraic Collins and McInerney had the ball in their hands. And when possession was paramount in those tense final minutes, Conor Ryan manfully stepped up with a couple of important takes in midfield.

Cratloe made the brighter start, edging 0-3 to 0-1 ahead by the tenth minute before some loose defending by both full-back lines allowed for a flurry of goals.

McInerney bisected two Gaels jerseys to find Padraic Collins who drove low to the net in the 14th minute. Seconds later, a weak Cratloe clearance was hacked back towards goal by John Paul O’Neill where Noel Kennedy was left with an easy finish. Cratloe went one better in the 17th minute when Sean Collins’ high ball evaded Tomás Madigan and fell to McInerney who made no mistake from close range. That left Cratloe 2-3 to 1-1 ahead but the Gaels slowly but surely reeled them in. The hard working Coughlan kicked two frees before Cathal O’Neill’s foray forward from corner-back was rewarded with a point. Another Coughlan free levelled the game but McInerney hit back with another placed ball to give Cratloe a slender 2-4 to 1-6 lead at half time. The second half would be an even closer affair. After another McInerney free, John Paul O’Neill applied a goal scoring finish to a well-worked Gaels attack. Coughlan and McInerney continued their private place kicking duel before Cratloe sneaked 2-9 to 2-7 ahead in the 57th minute. Coughlan tied the game again with two more frees, the second of which had its roots in a mighty catch from Kennedy. A draw looked on the cards but Cratloe had other ideas and take their first big step towards reaching the business end of the championship once more.

Gilligan fires ‘Bridge boys to win

Sixmilebridge 0-14 – Inagh/Kilnamona 1-07 at Inagh

REIGNING CLARE Cup champions Sixmilebridge bounced back from last Wednesday’s loss to Crusheen with a four-point victory over Inagh/ Kilnamona on Monday afternoon.

In a closely contested first half, the ‘Bridge were ahead 0-7 to 0-6 at the interval. Early points from Jamie Shanahan and Niall Gilligan saw them two clear after five minutes before Tomás Kelly got Inagh/Kilnamona off the mark two minutes later with a fine effort.

Former Clare senior Gilligan fired over a good score in the tenth minute before two Ger Arthur placed balls levelled matters after the first quarter. The home side were dealt a blow by this stage with full-back Brian Glynn forced to retire due to injury.

Sixmilebridge hit a purple patch sending over the games next three scores courtesy of Tommy Morey and Niall Gilligan (2) to extend their lead to three after 25 minutes as Robert Conlon entered the action for the injured Barry O’Connor.

Entering the final five minutes of the half, Ger Arthur and David O’Connor traded scores before two more Arthur efforts in first half added time narrowed the gap to one at the break.

On the resumption, Sixmilebridge did exactly what they did in the first half, by sending over the first two scores. These scores arrived thanks to David O’Connor and a long range John Fennessy free as they stretched the lead to three.

In a second half that was marred by persistent rain, it took the home team until the end of the first quarter to register a score with Arthur again the marksman. Indeed, up to this point both sides were guilty of failing to covert a few scoreable chances.

The games next score fell to Niall Gilligan who fired over a free in the 45th minute before moments later the hard working Tommy Morey increased the ‘Bridge lead to four.

Just as it appeared that the visitors were going to kick on from here and collect the two points, the combination were given a lifeline when they goaled to put just the minimum between the sides. This goal came about after Cathal Lafferty fielded a long clearance from David Hegarty on the fourteen-yard line and had only one thing on his mind as he turned and headed straight for goal before kicking the sliotar to the net.

With only a solitary point separating the sides the next score was going to be crucial in deciding this tie and unfortunately for the home team it fell to the ‘Bridge as Danny Morey fired over in the 57th minute. Sixmilebridge motored on from here with Gilligan and Morey closing out the games scoring as Inagh-Kilnamona tried in vain for another goal in injury time.

14-man Newmarket ease to victory

Newmarket-on-Fergus 2-22 – Whitegate 2-08 at Newmarket-on-Fergus

NEWMARKET moved back to the summit of Division 1 after a comfortable victory over relegation strugglers Whitegate on Monday afternoon. Both were understrength and without county seniors but it was the home side who were sharper and more clinical throughout, building up a seven point lead by the break before finishing the job on the turnover.

Tommy Griffin was the first half’s standout forward with three points on their way to a 0-11 to 0-04 half-time advantage, with Padraig Kilmartin and Enda Barrett also instrumental in keeping the east Clare side out at the other end.

Whitegate did manage to grab two goals through Ian Fahy and Stephen Malone in the second period while Newmarket were reduced to 14 following the dismissal of substitute Martin Murphy at the turn of the final quarter. However it still failed to trouble the home side who had a brace of goals of their own through Martin O’Hanlon and Anthony Kilmartin to ease up to victory and maintain their impressive unbeaten record of seven unbeaten competitive games.
