Rockcorry GAA Reserve Team
On Wednesday 26th May we travelled to Pearse Park to contest the first round of the Crawley Cup, Reserve Championship against Ballybay. On a lovely evening for football, Ballybay opened the scoring in the first minute when they notched over a free kick. We had an opportunity shortly afterwards but Mark McGuirk’s free kick attempt drifted slightly wide. Ballybay doubled their lead, in the 5th minute, when they hit over a fine score from play. Mark McGuirk was fouled in the 7th minute and Colin Quinn took the free-kick quickly to Anthony Tate but his attempt fell short and the Ballybay keeper cleared his line. Ballybay missed opportunities in the 9th and 10th minute to stretch their lead, kicking wide on both occasions. With exactly eleven minutes elapsed we eventually got on the scoreboard, when Keelan Clerkin scored a fabulous point after collecting a pass from Barry Patterson but Ballybay quickly cancelled this out when they slotted over a neat point from play a minute later.
Keelan Clerkin collects the ball from Barry Patterson to score our first point.
In the 15th minute, Cathal Sheridan picked up a yellow card when he fouled his opponent on the forty-five metre line and the Ballybay free-taker kicked the resulting free kick wide. Barry Patterson was unlucky, in the 16th minute, when his shot came back off the woodwork and a shot at the uprights from Anthony Tate, shortly afterwards, was off target. A couple of minutes later, Anthony Tate was in the thick of the action again and when he was brought down approximately twenty-five metres from goals, Colin Quinn elected to take the free quickly by playing a one-two with Anthony but his attempt went wide. Ballybay increased their lead in the 21st minute with another fine point from play to leave the score 0-4 to 0-1.
Barry Patterson battles with his midfield opponent
At this point we raised our performance by a couple of notches and the next three minutes we slotted over three unanswered points. The first score came from Barry Patterson, when he sailed the ball right between the posts, after collecting a pass from Liam Connolly. Keelan Clerkin hit the second with a wonderful strike and Anthony Tate made it three points in a row when he received a pass from Mark McGuirk to draw the side’s level on 0-4 apiece.
Anthony Tate hits over our fourth point to draw the sides level.
Ballybay missed a scoring opportunity in the 25th minute and moments later we nearly raised the green flag when Conor McGeough’s effort from an acute angle, went wide by a whisker. Colin Quinn fired over a point, just on the stroke of half time, after fine interplay between Anthony Tate and Ryan Sharkey, to leave the score at the interval Ballybay 0-4 Rockcorry 0-5.
On the restart, Keelan Clerkin increased our advantage, twenty seconds after the throw-up, when he completed an excellent move that involved Barry Patterson to put us two points up. However, Ballybay closed the gap two minutes later when they pointed from a free-kick and they drew level in the 4th minute when they were awarded another free-kick on the twenty metre line. We regained the lead, a couple of minutes later, when the youthful Barry Patterson, who worked tirelessly throughout the game, notched over his second point to leave the score 0-6 to 0-7. The turning point of the game came in the 12th minute, when Cathal Sheridan picked up his second yellow card that saw him get his marching orders. In fairness, it was more of a clumsy challenge and in many people’s eyes he was harshly penalised!
Shane Wynne challenges his opponent (take it easy Shane!!!)
Mark McGuirk kicked wide in the 14th minute, but he made amends a minute later when he was hauled down approximately twenty-five metres from goals and he duly converted the free-kick to open up a two point advantage. Ballybay responded swiftly with two quick-fire points, in the 16th and 17th minute, to make it all square with both teams having 0-8 apiece. It was still anyone’s game at this stage but Ballybay then pushed on and went two points clear when they scored from a free kick, in the 21st minute, and a minute later they notched over a fine score from play.
Liam Connolly wins possession ahead of his midfield opponent
The lads continued to battle on but unfortunately are attacks yielded no tangible rewards. However, we did manage to close the gap to a mere point when Mark McGuirk tapped over a free-kick, in the 23rd minute, after Barry Patterson was brought down. At this stage the game looked set to go down right to the wire but Ballybay, with the numerical advantage, edged further ahead when they hit over a point from play in the 25th minute and with only two minutes of normal time remaining Ballybay sealed the deal when they scored the goal to leave the final score Ballybay 1-11 Rockcorry 0-9.
Colin Quinn comes under pressure from his marker.
On reflection, this was always going to be an uphill battle as Ballybay are currently sitting top of the division 3 reserve league. While we lost the game it was a very encouraging outing as we certainly put it up to a more vastly experienced and stronger Ballybay side that gradually broke down our resistance and they now progress to the next round of the competition and we wish them the best luck. Nevertheless, the work-rate from the players was impressive throughout and the dismissal of Cathal Sheridan to a second yellow early in the second half was a severe blow and off course the absence of Martin Carroll with a hand injury was also a major factor. If we can maintain that level of performance for the league campaign we have every reason to be confident and push for a top four position. Well done lads and keep up the good work.

Club Notes 25th May 2010
Streamline Coaches Intermediate Football League
You could almost hear the theme tune from “The Great Escape” echoing around Pairc Naomh Mhuire last Wednesday (19th May) as our senior team got out of jail with a late strike from Liam Connolly, one minute into injury time, to seal the win on a score-line Rockcorry 1-11 Inniskeen 1-10. The first twenty minutes of the game we totally controlled as we played some wonderful free flowing football, that was a joy to watch, and we totally overwhelmed Inniskeen and at one stage we had built up a commanding seven point lead and at the interval the scoreboard read Rockcorry 1-6 Inniskeen 0-4. However, during the second half our play became scrappy with poor passing, over elaboration, some dreadful shooting and we conceded too many needless frees, all of which gave Inniskeen a lifeline and allowed them back into the game. With both teams having 1-10 apiece going into the final couple of minutes it could off been anybody’s game but when Liam Connolly collected a pass from Barry Patterson he kept his cool under severe pressure and kicked a glorious point to earn the two league points. While our second half performance will be a cause for concern we can be delighted with the win and that’s what it’s all about! Whether you win by a single point or ten points you get the same! Check out www.rockcorrygaa.ie for a full match report of the Rockcorry v Inniskeen game.

Rockcorry 1-11 Inniskeen 1-10
Streamline Coaches Intermediate Football League, Round 8 – Wednesday 19th May
Late Connolly Strike Seals the Win for Rock
Team: Jamie Smith, Colin Reilly, Niall McKeown, Garry Calvert, Keith Daly, Johnny Reilly, Stephen McGuirk 0-3, Barry Patterson, Liam Connolly 0-1, Keelan Clerkin 0-1, Martin Carroll 0-1, Noel Carroll 0-1, Mark McGuirk 1-1, Paul McKeown 0-2, Dwayne Rooney 0-1.
Subs: Damien Matthews for Keelan Clerkin
We maintained our good start to this year’s Streamline Coaches intermediate football league, on Wednesday 19th May, when we overcame a determined Inniskeen side that pushed us all the way in what was, at times, an exciting and tough encounter. A late strike from Liam Connolly one minute into stoppage time was enough to secure the two league points and a sixth successive win.
While we missed a couple of early chances, Paul McKeown registered our first score in the 3rd minute after he collected a pass from Keith Daly and slotted over a neat point. Keelan Clerkin extended our lead a couple of minutes later when he split the uprights with a fine strike. Martin Carroll brushed aside a heavy tackle, in front of the dugouts, and he off loaded to Noel Carroll who passed into Mark McGuirk who was hauled down on the twenty-one metre line and Dwayne Rooney converted the free-kick. Noel Carroll completed a great move, in the 8th minute, when he fired over a terrific point after he collected a pass from Dwayne Rooney. At this stage of the game we were totally dominant and could off really put Inniskeen to the sword but a number of passes went astray and the opportunities lost. Paul McKeown then increased our advantage when he notched over a superb point, from the right wing, to open up a five point lead 0-5 to 0-0.
Inniskeen eventually opened their account in the 10th minute when they were awarded a free kick, approximately twenty-five metres out, after Colin Reilly was adjudged to foul his opponent, and they tapped the ball over the bar. A minute later they were on the attack again but on this occasion a pass directed to the corner forward was too strong and went over the end-line. Shortly afterwards we were awarded a sideline ball but under the new playing rules we were penalised for crossing the line and the resulting throw-up was won by Inniskeen, however sterling defending by Niall McKeown prevented the Inniskeen attacker from having a free shot and his attempt drifted wide. We widened the gap even more in the 14th minute when Mark McGuirk finished off arguably the best score of the game that began with Keith Daly in defence and he directed a measured pass to Stephen McGuirk who found Paul McKeown and he set-up Mark McGuirk who initially looked liked being bottled up but the impressive young forward created half a yard and blasted an unstoppable shot to bulge the back of the net.
A minute later, Mark McGuirk was in the thick of action again but his effort on this occasion fell short and into the hands of the Inniskeen goalie and they counterattacked at pace and it took some wholehearted defending by Niall McKeown and Garry Calvert to keep them out. However, in the 18th minute, Inniskeen did manage to close the gap when they kicked a neat from play. A couple of minutes later Stephen McGuirk sailed over a magnificent point after his brother Mark was brought down along the side line. Inniskeen pulled one point back when they notched over another fine point from play a couple of minutes later. A scoreless five minute period followed, during which both teams were guilty of some terrible football and the last score of the first half came a minute into injury time when Inniskeen were awarded a free kick on the twenty-one metre line which they duly converted and the scoreboard at the break showed Rockcorry 1-6 Inniskeen 0-4.
Whatever was said at half time worked for Inniskeen as they emerged from the dressing-rooms a transformed side as they began brightly and closed the gap to four points when they scored after only twenty seconds of play. In the 5th minute, Stephen McGuirk showed his accuracy once again with another inspirational point from a free kick to bring our lead back to five point advantage.
However, a minute later we conceded the goal when Inniskeen won the kick-out and utilised route one football with a long high ball into our goalmouth that wrong-footed Niall McKeown and the Inniskeen full forward found himself one-on-one with our goal-keeper and he made no mistake in rattling the back of the net. All of a sudden, Inniskeen were only two points in arrears with the scoreboard reading Rockcorry 1-7 Inniskeen 1-5. Shortly afterwards Inniskeen missed an opportunity to close the gap but they managed to reduce the deficit to a single point when they were awarded a free-kick on the twenty-one metre line after Garry Calvert was deemed to foul his opponent. At this stage we were experiencing a mini crisis and we needed a quick response and the introduction of Damien Matthews for Keelan Clerkin was just the tonic. He slotted into his usual full-back position that allowed Niall McKeown the freedom to roam out-field and he instantly made an impact when he made a surging solo run towards the goals and he found Paul McKeown who provided the perfect pass into Mark McGuirk and he sent the ball over the bar for a classy point.
Inniskeen stayed in touch after Damien Matthews fouled his opponent along the sideline and the resulting kick was lobbed high into our goalmouth area and Colin Reilly fouled his opponent near the large square and the Inniskeen free taker had a simple free-kick to close the gap. In the 12th minute, Noel Carroll was brought down approximately thirty metres from goals, but Dwayne Rooney’s effort drifted to the right of the upright and Keith Daly was able to keep the ball in play and he found the unmarked Stephen McGuirk whose attempt at the target went narrowly wide. A couple of minutes later, an effective clearance out of defence by Keith Daly initiated another attack and when Mark McGuirk was hauled down on the thirteen metre line, Stephen was on hand to convert the free-kick. In the 20th minute, Niall McKeown, Paul McKeown and Stephen McGuirk all combined brilliantly to set up Martin Carroll who whipped over a marvellous score to increase our advantage to three points 1-10 to 1-7.
Inniskeen suddenly seized the game by the scuff of the neck and knocked over three points without reply in the space of six minutes. The game was now delicately poised with both sides having 1-10 apiece and the game could off gone any way! The momentum was now clearly with Inniskeen as we looked vulnerable, but they failed to take advantage and spurned a wonderful opportunity to take the lead, in the 29th minute, as their effort drifted to the left and wide. As the game reached the closing stages, serious questions were now being asked about our mental strength and our capability, but just as the they did against Currin, the lads stormed back with a display of grit and determination and when Liam Connolly collected the ball, a minute into injury time, he kept his cool under severe pressure, and fired over a glorious point to put us back in front. However, the game wasn’t over yet and we were soon on the back foot as Inniskeen launched another long high ball into the danger zone but this time Johnny Reilly did very well to hold onto possession, after fielding spectacularly, and seconds later the final whistle blew to the delight and relief of everyone.
Looking back on our performance I have no doubt that our team management will be wondering how we went from cruise control to near panic stations towards the end of the match! The first twenty minutes we controlled the game, we were irresistible as we played some wonderful free flowing football that totally overwhelmed Inniskeen and at one stage we had built up a commanding seven point lead. However, during the second half there were occasions, when we were guilty of some awful football. Our play became scrappy with poor passing, over elaboration, some dreadful shooting, illegal hand passes and we conceded some needless frees, all of which gave Inniskeen a lifeline and allowed them back into the game.
While some of players will be disappointed with their individual performances you can’t always play well all of the time and you’re never going to control the game for the full sixty minutes, but once you win, who cares? “A win is a win” as they say, and we achieved that goal, we won the game and that’s all that really matters! Ask any manager or player and they would settle for a one point win any day. It just makes it very nerve racking and nail biting to watch from the sideline!
On a final note, can all players make themselves familiar with the new playing rules and make corrections to their style of hand-pass as a number of illegal hand passes certainly caused frustration during the game. Well done lads and keep up the good work.

Streamline Coaches Intermediate Football League
Our senior team continued their winning ways with a hard fought but richly deserved victory over a determined Currin team last Sunday evening on a score-line Currin 1-10 Rockcorry 2-11. While it may not off been vintage football, I have to say that every player gave their best and worked hard for each other. However, there were times during the game when we squandered a lot of opportunities and wasted a lot of possession. Improvements in this and a number of other areas will need to be achieved before we face Currin, in a couple of weeks, in the preliminary round of the Intermediate championship. Check out www.rockcorrygaa.ie for a full match report and action photographs of the Currin v Rockcorry game.
