U12 Division 1 Football Semi Final
Castlemitchell V St Laurence
Castlemitchell U 12’s welcomed St Laurances for their Semi Final of the U12 Division 1 League on Thursday night.
Playing with the Wind In the first half Castlemitchell got the first point of the match from Jack McCabe the Castlemitchell Lads started slowly and conceded a goal early in the first half. On the next attack Castlemitchell responded well with a well taken goal from Jack McCabe. Castlemitchell were taken there points well with fine scores from Jack, Lucas O’Neill, Aaron Hoolahan, Evan Doogue and Dean Hyland but were struggling to keep Laurances out at the other who were clinical on the break to score some well taken goals. Aaron Hoolahan responded with a goal for the ‘Mitchell lads to send the lads in down by 5 at half time which could have been worse were it not for some excellent interventions from Oisin Groarke in goal.
H/T Castlemitchell 2-9 St Laurances 6-2
St Laurance started the second Half strong with the 1st point to extend their lead but to their credit the Castlemitchell lads kept going and with Brian Byrne and Lucas O’Neill driving forward in the second half the Castlemitchell lads reduced the St Laurances lead to 3pts following excellent points from Jack McCabe, Brian Byrne, Aaron Hoolahan and Dean Hyland. The Castlemitchell lads were unlucky not to score a couple of goals in the 2nd half having been thwarted by some excellent last minute defending from St Laurance lads and an excellent save from the Larries keeper who tipped a goal bound shot over the bar. St Laurances finished strongly and scored a breakaway goal to see them over the line and earn a well-deserved win.
FT - Castlemitchell GFC 2-15 St Laurance’s 7-7
Well done to the Castlemitchell Lads who never gave up and can be very proud of their efforts. Great to see Sean Maloney back on a football pitch following a serious knee injury.

Under 12 Semi Final
Milltown 3-12 Castledermot 1-08
Hard luck to our under 12s who lost to Milltown last night in the division 2 semi final in Milltown. The lads played a great game and never gave up. Castledermot opened the scores with a close range free from Cian Murphy, but this was soon equalised by Milltown. A great piece of play from the back with Nathan Parr and Daire Phelan linking up saw a great ball forward to Callum Corrigan in the forwards who made no mistake when he had the goals in sight and got the first goal of the game. A free from Daire Phelan saw us with a 1-02 to 0-01 lead after 10 minutes. Despite creating loads of chances which were well defended by a resilient Milltown defence that was to our last score until the 22nd minute of the half. In this time Milltown scored 2-04. Our goalkeeper Jamie Dooley made some fantastic saves and was finding Castledermot players with every kick out. Donnachadh Kinch in midfield had an outstanding game marking a very strong Milltown midfielder. Daire Phelan at centre half back would definitely have been in contention for man of the match. Nathan Parr at wing back had an excellent game also. Jamie O’Gorman in midfield worked hard throughout and won great ball in midfield. On 22 minutes Daire scored another point from a free which was quickly cancelled out by a Milltown point. Points from Callum and Donnachadh finished the scoring of the first half and we trailed 2-07 to 1-05 at half time. Unfortunately the second half didn’t go our way and again some great defending by Milltown saw us denied time and time again from our attacks. 3 points scored in the second half by Nathan, Evan Kavanagh and Donnachadh were not enough on the day and Milltown went on to win 3-12 to 1-08. The game was played in great spirit and was a credit to both teams for the skill and sportsmanship that was shown. Best of luck to Milltown in the final on Sunday morning when they play Moorefield in Hawkfield.
The Castledermot team was: Jamie Dooley, James Dunne, Jamie Kelly, Nathan Parr, Daire Phelan, Gearoid Proctor, Jamie O’Gorman, Donnachadh Kinch, Jack O’Gorman, Callum Corrigan, Darragh Byrne, Cian Murphy, Cian Holman, Evan Kavanagh, Luke Chattan, Padraig Farrell, Archie Galvin, and TJ O’Shea.

A goal from full forward Cian Holman, put Castledermot a few in front but was soon cancelled out by an Athgarvan goal. A few great saves by keeper Jamie Dooley and a ball cleared off the line by Padraic Farrell kept both teams in the game.
