U-10 Challenge Match Sunday 28th April 2013
Thomas Davis Corrinshego 2-8 Whitecross 4-2
Thomas Davis Corrinshego U-10’s had their first outing of the year when they drew with a competitive Whitecross team at Corrinshego on Sunday. Played in bright sunshine Corrinshego were on top from the start through Dean Bradley and Ronan Casey who performed heroics at midfield.
With Ciaran Higgins working hard in the forwards, Corrinshego were always in contention. Special mention to Jarlath Jennings who played a ‘stormer’ at center-halt back and prevented many a Whitecross attack. When switched to corner back Danny Sheilds had an influential impact on the game. Other to impress were Michael Mallon who started in goals, Holly Loye and Lucy Brown who never gave up. This was an encouraging start for our young cubs, especially Ronan Casey who finished the game with 1-4. Corrinshego would like to thank Henry McCloy who refereed the game.
Corrinshego: Michael Mallon, Jarlath Jennings, Adam Travers, Caoimhe Mallon, Ronan Casey, Dean Bradley, Lucy Mallon, Michael Mallon, Holly Loye, Danny Shields, Liam O’Brien, Ciaran Higgins, Sub: Shea Mallon

Corrinshego v Clady Emmetts
This second league match of the season for corrinshego u14s was without doubt the most difficult of the season so far for the young team but also the most rewarding. This was an old fashioned game of football where the team had to dig in and fight for this most deserving of wins and that's exactly what they did.
Goal chances were at a premium in the first half and the team had to rely on the point scoring of Ryan Gray and Adam Loughran who both slotted over three points a piece.
It was a rare feeling for the corrinshego team to be behind at half time as the they trailed off 2-2 to 0-6 at the break. However after the break and finally plugging the gaps at the back the team responded with true grit and restricted Clady to a measly 1-2 in the second half, while the boys scored 2-2 from play. It was captain Niall McShane getting another goal in successive weeks that eventually brought the team back into the game and Conor Jennings scoring the point of the game after a fine second half from centre half back that sealed the win.
No doubt there are sterner tests ahead but this was an important win and one which will definitely breed confidence for the season ahead. Well done boys!

The Under 16’s got a harsh lesson in their first home game against Belleek Emmetts (Dorsey & Belleek) at St.Pauls school pitch last Thursday night. The game started fairly evenly with both sides exchanging points from frees & play. Lee Courtney was exerting his influence at half forward continually running at their defence winning numerous frees but our shooting let us down on most of these opportunities. With 20 minutes played we had our noses in front 0-04 to 0-03 but the visitors got in for goal from a wayward pass & despite the gallant effort from Ronan McMahon in goals it somehow squeezed into the corner. We replied immediately with a point from Declan loye but with the half almost up another misdirected pass fell to a Belleek man who left it 2-04 to 0-05 in their favour at the break.
We immediately reduced the deficit from a point from Lee Courtney on the restart. The lads battled hard to get a foothold in the game with both sides going hard at it but we couldn’t translate the possession to scores with numerous wides whereas the visitors keep the scoreboard ticking keeping their 2 goal cushion intact. The visitors finished the game with 2 further majors both coming from defensive mistakes as we pushed hard going forward but on the night we can have no complaints as the Belleek Emmetts side were worthy winners. Lee Courtney & Declan Loye were outstanding for Thomas Davis with Keyonis Crozier putting in a decent shift but it wasn’t definitely an off night for the majority off the team. With a few lads to come back to the squad next week we know we can do a lot better in the championship next week

Under 18 Football / Peil Faoi 18
Monday night saw the minor team playing their first fixture at home. Played in blustery conditions in Whitecross the lads took on the unbeaten Ballymacnab team. The lads started the quicker playing with a strong wind the first two points coming from Phelim Finnegan, this was quickly followed up with a point from Charlie Magill followed by two brilliant long range points from midfielder Jordan King. Ballymacnab scored their first two points of the game from two free kicks but the boys were on top all over the field with Ballymacnab playing a long ball game into a big physical number 14. Some super play from from the half backs linking with the midfielders set up another few points from the boot of Sean Thompson, Phelim Finnegan and the speedy Jordan King to leave the boys in front by 7 points then a quick ball into Decky Loye who lost his marker was unlucky hitting the post with his low shot to the corner. Halftime score 0-10 till 0-3.
With the wind at Ballymacnabs back the second half was always going to be backs against the wall and had the boys registered enough scores in the first half. The away team started the quicker with two points within the first 3 mins of play this was quickly followed by a 45 which took a deflection leaving goalkeeper David Hankin with no chance this was a big blow to the lads conceding 1-2 within five mins of the restart. With all the momentum with the visitors it was great defensive displays from Deaglen Jennings, Jammie Fields and Callan Connelly to stop the visitors scoring for the next ten mins. It took until 15 mins into the second half until we scored our first point coming from the boot of Charlie Magill, this gave the lads a timely boost and another one from Phelim Finnegan ( six points on the night ) to halt Ballymacnabs surge.Once again the away team started to get on top as the lads struggled to retain possession. With 10 mins to go a point from Mark McAteer and Decky Loye left us four in front with Ballymacnab giving everything, with a few frees the scores were level for the first time and time was up score at the final whistle 0-14 1-11. Despite the conditions some super football was played and a draw was a fair result on the night. Starting his first game Micheal McGrory had a good steady performance Niall Canning and Conor Loye put in solid displays. Next up is an away game tonight against Crossmaglen, come out and give these young lads some support.
Training continuing every Monday 7.30pm at the Club Grounds. New members welcome. Contact Tony Loye 07810883454.

Thomas Davis Corrinshego 0-16 Ponytzpass O’Hanlon’s 1-3
Thomas Davis Corrinshego kept their unbeaten record intact but more importantly had their first win of the year. This was a very comprehensive victory over a team which were unbeaten and were leading the division before the start of play. With a midfield partnership of Ronie O’ Reilly and Ryan Mc Williams Corrinshego were on top at mid field from the start, and in the opening minute Liam Quinn was unlucky not to score. On 3 minutes Ronan O’Reilly scored an inspirational opening score. This was Ronan’s first outing since his long lat-off through injury. On 6 mins, Corrinshego doubled their total when Cathal Trainor scored a good point from out on the right. Aided by a very strong breeze Corrinshego scored again through Steven Trainor , from a pin-point pass from the ever improving Adrian McCourt.. On 19mins the industrious work by the Corrinshego forwards was evident when S. Trainor and Cathal Trainor interchanged with the ball, before releasing A. McCourt to score Corrinshego fourth point of the day to leave the score 0-4 to no score. O’ Hanlon’s responded with a fine point through Sean Mor Morgan to reduce the deficit. On 18mins R. McWilliams scored a point after been set up by Conor Loye. Corrinshego kept pressing and Liam Quinn scored another point after a battling performance by J. Dinsmore sent him clear. Two minutes later on 19mins L. Quinn added to both his and the Thomas Davis’ tally when he converted a 21m free after John McIlroy was hauled down by an O’Hanlon defender. On 23 mins Cathal Trainor kept the score board ticking over with a nice point to leave the score 0-8 to 0-1. Two minutes later L. Quinn pointed a free after he himself had his jersey pulled by O’Hanlon’s number 5 Ronan O’ Cinneide. On 28mins Corrinshego scored their tenth point of the half, through S. Trainor after good work by R. Mcwilliams. Corrinshego finished the half with another point through L.Quinn from a free. Half –time score Thomas Davis Corrinshego 0-11 O’Hanlon’s 0-1
On the resumption Corrinshego replaced R. O’Reilly with D. Lenaghan at midfield and began were they left off. Although playing into a strong wind Corrinshego quickly scored on 32mins from a fisted point from David Murphy after been set up by the lively Deaghlan Jennings who was making his Corrinshego senior debut. O’ Hanlon’s responded with two points to leave the scoreline 0-12 to 0-3 in favour of the men in maroon and white. On 36 mins L. Quinn scored another point. Moments later R. Mc Williams increased the lead further with a long range point. Sean Thompson replaced Stephen Trainor at C.H.F. and James Dinsmore scored another point. O’Hanlon’s kept plugging away and scored a goal to reduce the deficit. Gerry O’Reilly replaced J. McIlroy and Paddy Smith replaced L.Quinn on 52 mins and David Murphy finished the scoring with a pointed free to leave the score 0-16 to 1-3 in favour of Corrinshego. On 56 mins Nathan Burns made his Corrinshego debut when he replaced the injured D. Jennings. There were many positives from this game, especially the work of both R. Mc Loughlin and M. McAteer in defence and the encouraging display from debutant D. Jennings. Next up for Corrinshego is Phelim Brady’s on Friday evening.
