(St Malachy's GAC Castlewellan Club Notes for week-ending September 15th
Last week proved o be a bad week for good results
right across the board with all Castlewellan
teams. Our U14’s had a poor finish to
their league campaign when they were beaten
by Kilcoo at St Malachy’s Park last Monday
evening No such luck either for our minor hurlers
also beaten in the league by Laitroim and our
U12 camogs bowed out of the Championship on
Friday also beaten by a more experienced Laitriom
side. To crown it all our senior ladies were
beaten in the senior ladies championship by
a much superior Brynsford side. Our girls started
off very well with Lisa Morgan running rampage
through the Ford defence scoring 3 points in
quick succession and Paula Clelland and Kitty
Keown also adding to the tally before Noleen
O’Higgins found the net following a superb
pass from Lisa. However it wasn’t all
one way traffic in this first half as Bryansford
answered Castlewellan’s scoring point
for point as well as registering at least six
wides and a number of near misses for goal,
and at the end of the first half it was the
Castlewellan goal that separated both sides
on a score line of 1.06 to 0.7 for the town.
However the second half was to tell a different
story with Bryansford completely dominating
the game in every sector of the field and scoring
2 goals and 14 points while Castlewellan could
only manage 5 points leaving the ford decisive
winners in this semi-final clash. Bryansford
will now face Clonduff in the Championship final
and we wish our Bryansford neighbours all the
best in the final. Good luck to our senior footballers
who travel to Dublin this week-end to defend
their Kilmacud Sevens All-Ireland title.
