Caelin Rooney Rep of Ireland

Results:

Ireland 1 Poland 2

Ireland 3 Poland 1

Following his International Call Up in November, Caelin travelled to Rock Celtic F.C grounds in Co.Louth to pull on the Green shirt for the first time in an official capacity and following the first games defeat Caelin made his debut starting the game on the right of midfield playing as a winger.

Poland would go on to win this game 2-1 but two nights later Caelin enjoyed the taste of victory in an Irish Shirt for the first time on as Republic Of Ireland U15 beat Poland 3-1 with Caelin playing the second half and having a very impressive game.

With Poland leading 0-1 at the break Caelin entered the fray and helped his side overturn that deficit and go on to win 3-1.

So after the two games on the Tuesday and Thursday Caelin has two official Caps to his name and no one can ever take that away from him or his Club Clashmore Ramblers .

We are Delighted to say we have an International Player from our League and we hope Caelin can inspire many more to wear the Green of Ireland as the future looks bright with some fine players currently playing with our various Development Squads.

This is the first game for both teams in this competition

Clashmore Ramblers started far quicker than Castlebridge and quickly went into the lead. Clashmore went further ahead before Castlebridge's, until recently goalie, Shane Hussey latched onto a neat through ball to reduce the deficit. Castlebridge were then awarded a penalty which Jack Reals coolly put away low into the corner. Clashmore again took the lead just before halftime making it 2-3 at the break. The second half was a tense affair. Oisín Cronin scored a lovely goal rounding the keeper before slotting it home. Castlebridge looked the stronger team at this point, but Clashmore scored with about ten minutes remaining to take a game that could easily have gone either way.

Final score: Castlebridge Celtic 3 - 4 Clashmore Rangers

In a hard fought game Castlebridge just edged out a win by a one goal margin.

On a night perfect for good football we were served up a feast of exciting action. There were nice passing moves from both sides and plenty of frantic goal mouth action. The sides were level 0-0 at half time. Early in the second half a period of sustained Castlebridge pressure lead to Rhian Lenehan scoring with a crisp low shot into the corner.

Final score a 1-0 victory for Catlebridge.

It was a nice warm but breezy afternoon in conna for this U12 premier league encounter. As we entered this match, Valley and Mogeely sit side by side mid table so it was always going to be a close one.

Mogeely started the brighter and had plenty of the possession in the first half. They had a number of half chances but had one good chance just before half time when the Mogeely centre forward was put through and had just the keeper to beat but Dan Turley in goals for Valley made a wonderful save to his right hand side to deny Mogeely. Valley had one good chance in the first half but Tymek pulled the ball wide from the right hand side.

Valley started the second half a bit brighter and were counter attacking well. This paid off when Tristan Clancy put a lovely ball through to Cillian Hickey who beat one player and finished well to put Valley ahead. Mogeely piled on the pressure and laid siege to the Valley goal for the last 15 minutes of the game but Valley were dogged in defence with Charlie Leahy, Brian O'Sullivan and Mark Kearney playing well. Mogeely had more of the possession right throughout the game and played some lovely football with Alex McSweeney showing brightly in midfield and deserved something from the game. Final score: Valley 1-0 Mogeely.

Mogeely were back to winning ways last Saturday morning when they welcomed Kilworth to Railway Park, Mogeely.

Mogeely started with a number of players in new positions and a couple of new players from the U11's to fill in due to a few absentees, between entrance exams and illnesses of who we wish a speedy recovery.

The team started with Matt in goal, Evan, Andrew S. and Cian B. along the last line of defense. Oliver, Ciaran and Alex were across the middle of the park and Alan & Aaron were heading the attack.

Mogeely couldn't have asked for a better start when within the 1st minute Evan & Oli worked a lovely passage of play up the wing with Oli putting the ball into the box and Ciaran "Van Persie" came flying in with a diving header to slam the ball into the goal.

Mogeely enjoyed much of the possession throughout the game and any chance that fell to the Kilworth side was calmly dealt with by the defense line who were well on top. Tadhg, Ben & Mark were introduced during the half and provided fresh options on the wing and upfront.

Mogeely's lead doubled when Alex fired in a dinger of a corner and Ben was at hand to finish from close range to make it 2 nil going into the half.

Alex was to increase Mogeely's lead once more in the second half when he finished a fantastic shot to top corner of the goal giving the Kilworth keeper no chance.

Mogeely Team:

Matt Sweetnam, Evan Connolly, Cian Brennan. Oliver Prokulski, Ciaran Murphy, Alex McSweeney, Alan Nowak, Aaron Flanagan, Tadhg Cooney, Mark O'Mahony & Ben Cooney.

Lismore 3 Valley 3

Lismore lead 2-0 at half time through a Ty Corcoran brace. Valley came back early in the 2nd half to level it through a brace from Dan Turley before an amazing last 90 seconds - Lismore regained the lead through Hugo Quann and straight from the kick off Valley scored when Fionn McCready shot from the half way line and looped the ball over the keeper.

Ballymac 0 Lismore 4

Understrength Ballymac put it up to high flying Lismore today but eventually losing out in the end. The hosts hit the post and had two fine shots well saved by the lismore keeper when the game was still in the balance. This was a good tough game and lismore were deserved winners in the end.

Lismore lead 2-0 at halftime with goals from Shane Bennett, Bennett wrapped up his hattrick mid way through the 2nd half before Aodhan Hickey got a well deserved goal near the end.

Scorers Shane Bennett 3 Aodhan Hickey 1

Ballymac FC travelled to Brideview for an 11am kick off and took all 3 points on offer with a comfortable 5-0 victory.

Goals from James Power, Alan McGrath, Adam Guiry, Seamie Wall and Jake Dwyer saw Ballymac close the gap to the league leaders Kilworth , and with this the still to be contested all is to play for and any number of teams can still win the league .

First outing of the season for both Teams in this U16 league match. It was a lively first half with chances at both ends. Some good saves from the Castlebridge keeper in particular.

The second half saw Valley start to dominate proceedings and an excellent left footed strike by winger Jack Murphy gave Valley the lead. Valley kept the pressure on and scored a brace from Jake O'Brien in quick succession. A beautiful through ball from Cathal Collins was nicely converted by forward Cillian Fitzpatrick and then Tom Hartnett finished a lovely move for the fifth goal. Castlebridge continued to push for a goal and were unlucky not to score towards the end.

Well done to referee Clive Good who had an excellent game.
