Templenoe 0-12, Glenflesk 2-05

Templenoe claimed two more league points with a close fought victory over Glenflesk in the 3^rd round of the county league, played on a dry Templenoe pitch with little or no breeze.

Both teams struggled in the opening exchanges, and it took 6 minutes for the first score from Gavin Crowley of Templenoe from play. The home team kicked on from this and were leading on a score to Templenoe 0-04, Glenflesk 0-00 after 15 minutes. The Templenoe scores coming from Killian Spillane and Teddy Doyle.

Dara Roche opened the Glenflesk scoring with a free, but this was quickly cancelled out by a Killian Spillane point. Glenflesk did have their chances in this period, but had racked up a number of wides. Josh Crowley extended the Templenoe advantage with a well taken point, but Glenflesk followed this with a point from a Lee O’Donoghue placed ball.

Anthony Sheehan pulled off a great save to keep his net intact on the 20^th minute, and in the following minutes Lee O’Donoghue pointed two more frees. A great passage of play saw a Teddy Doyle point attempt hit the upright and the move switch down the field for Glenflesk to force another great save from Anthony Sheehan. Lee O’Donoghue pointed the last score of the half, leaving the score on 30 minutes, Templenoe 0-06, Glenflesk 0-04

Teddy Doyle started the 2^nd half scoring with a free, but the game changed on the 36^th minute when Lee O’Donoghue got his palm to a pass near the Templenoe goal, and the ball trickled over the line. Evan Horan pointed soon after for Glenflesk to take the lead

Templenoe who were behind for the first time in the match, pressed for scores, and kicked two wides and hit the crossbar before Dara Roche further increased the pressure by adding another goal for the visitors.

Templenoe were reduced to 14 men soon afterwards when Joey Sheehan got a 2^nd yellow, and with 15 minutes to go were trailing on a scoreline of Templenoe 0-07, Glenflesk 2-05. It took until the 50^th minute for a Teddy Doyle free to calm Templenoe’s nerves, but the final 10 minutes saw Templenoe claw their way back into the game.

Glenflesk Midfielder Eoin O’Donoghue was dismissed with a black card and a Teddy Doyle free followed by a 45 reduced the deficit to a point. The home team continued to press, and on the 60^th minute Killian Spillane scored a great equalizing point after a very patient Templenoe attack. The following kick out was again won by Templenoe which resulted in a free about 50 metres from the goal. Teddy Doyle stepped up and pointed with the last kick to see Templenoe victorious on a score of Templenoe 0-12, Glenflesk 2-05.

Templenoe 3-14, St Pats Blennerville 4-05

Templenoe advanced to the 2^nd round of the Castleisland Co-Op County Junior Football Championship in a very high scoring match played in a sun drenched Templenoe GAA Grounds.

St Pats opened the scoring with a pointed free from full forward Kieran Hurley. Templenoe responded quickly, and had points from the boot of Killian Spillane and Teddy Doyle, but this was cancelled out by another Kieran Hurley point.

Kieran Hurley put the away side ahead with a good point from play, and on the 13^th minute, Gary Savage scored the visitors first goal. St Pats won the next kick out and the subsequent long ball into the square resulted in a penalty. Kieran Hurley dispatched to ball low and left to extend St Pats advantage. On the 15 minute mark, the score was Templenoe 0-02, St Pats 2-03.

Both teams exchanged points, and Templenoe missed a glorious chance when Killian Spillane spun his man and passed to his brother Adrian but the shot missed the target. They were not denied a few minutes later, and Killian Spillane got Templenoe’s first goal.

Teddy Doyle got two points in a row with the 2^nd point resulting from a free where Teddy was hauled down. The ref issued a black card to St Pat’s midfielder Michael O’Sullivan.

Killian Spillane added to the scoring, and soon after, great work from Daniel O’Neill found Stephen O’Sullivan in space. The corner forward attacked the goal at pace and crossed the ball to Danny Cahalane who got Templenoe’s 2^nd goal. This was late in the 1^st half, but the scoring was not done. Another St Pats high ball from a sideline saw Kieran Hurley fouled in the square, and this time he scored the penalty to the right of Anthony Sheehan.

The half time score in an exciting 1^st half was Templenoe 2-06, St Pats 3-04 but it was a costly half for the visitors as they lost David O’Callaghan and Liam Poff to injury as well as the black card.

Templenoe had the slight advantage of the breeze in the 2^nd half, and got the first two points from Cian Hallissey and Stephen O’Sullivan. Liam O’Sullivan missed a point opportunity for St Pats, and soon after a Templenoe point attempt rebounding off the crossbar fell into Gavin Crowley’s hands who finished it to the net.

This left the score on the 40^th minute, Templenoe 3-08, St Pat’s 3-04, but again St Pat’s responded with a goal when Kieran Hurley got his hand to a high ball and flicked it home.

John Spillane scored a very good point on the run, which was cancelled out by another Kieran Hurley point. This proved to be the last score by St Pats, and Templenoe pushed on to score the last five points of the match. The pick of these scores came from Gavin Crowley, pointing a 40 meter kick out by the right sideline.

Templenoe advanced to the next round of the County Junior Football Championship, winning on a scoreline of Templenoe 3-14, St Pats Blennerville 4-05.

Templenoe Scorers: Killian Spillane 1-04, Gavin Crowley 1-01, Teddy Doyle 0-03, Stephen O’Sullivan 0-03, Danny Cahalane 1-00, Cian Hallissey 0-02, John Spillane 0-01

Glenbeigh / Glencar B 4-05, Templenoe B 1-14

The Templenoe B team finally got their season underway with an away fixture to Glenbeigh / Glencar on Friday evening. Conditions were ideal for football, with a dry pitch and a very mild breeze.

Templenoe had the better of the exchanges in the first half, but had to overcome the concession of an early goal scored by the Glenbeigh / Glencar full forward. Through a dominant display from the visitor’s midfield, Templenoe picked off a series of points throughout the half, and the half time whistle saw a scoreline of Glenbeigh / Glencar 1-02, Templenoe 0-08. Danny Cahalane scored the pick of the points in the first half.

Templenoe continued to dominate for the opening period of the second half, and a scoring cameo from Martin Reilly, who notched 1-01 in the space of a minute, seemed to set the visitors up for a comfortable victory.

Coming into the last ten minutes Templenoe were still in control, but the concession of three goals to Glenbeigh / Glencar in this period saw the home team pull off a very unlikely draw.

Templenoe Team:

Tommy Granville, Jonathan Egan, Kieran O’Neill, Mike Jones, John Rice, Joey Sheehan, Kieran McCarthy, Shane Cremin, Donal Casey, Martin Reilly, John Moriarity, Padraig O’Sullivan, Patrick Palmer, Danny Cahalane, Noel O’Sullivan.

Templenoe 1-18, Na Gaeil 1-02

Following on from last week’s win over St Pats, Templenoe were again playing at home. This time against Na Gaeil in the second round of the Castleisland Co-Op County Junior Football Championship. And again like the previous week the match was played in splendid weather with a slight breeze blowing across the field.

Templenoe got off to a quick start and after five minutes had already notched up 1-02 on the scoreboard. The goal scored by Killian Spillane after he fetched a long pass from Teddy Doyle. Kieran O’Donovan scored a good long range point for the visitors, but Templenoe followed with two frees from Killian Spillane and Teddy Doyle.

Darragh Carmody pointed Na Gaeil’s second score with a free, in a period where the visitors were playing some good football but were kicking some poor wides.

Templenoe extended their advantage when a good long ball from Sean Sheehan found Adrian Spillane who slipped a pass to Teddy Doyle for a very well worked point. On the 22^nd minute the scoreline read Templenoe 1-05, Na Gaeil 0-02.

In the final five minutes of the half, Killian Spillane kicked three great points in a row, and again followed with the last point of the half to leave Templenoe in control on a scoreline of Templenoe 1-09, Na Gaeil 0-02.

The second half continued much like the first half, and on the 45^th minute, Templenoe led on a scoreline of Templenoe 1-14, Na Gaeil 0-02. The pick of the scores was a left legged point from Cian Hallissey from distance, but during this period Na Gaeil continued to enjoy good possession, but their shooting left them down.

The corner forward for Na Gaeil, Mike Griffin, shot a goal, but their following few attacks yielded no more scores. Templenoe chipped in with a few more points and advanced to the semi-final of the County Senior Football Championship on a score of Templenoe 1-18, Na Gaeil 1-02.

Templenoe Scorers: Killian Spillane 1-07, Teddy Doyle 0-02, Shane Cremin 0-02, Adrian Spillane 1-02, Cian Hallissey 0-01, Stephen O’Sullivan 0-01, John Spillane 0-01, Josh Holland 0-01, John Rice 0-01

Templenoe 5-14, Spa 4-04

Goals were the order of the day, and on a pleasant Saturday evening, we were treated to nine of them as Templenoe played host to Spa in round 5 of the Senior County Football League.

Both teams struggled in front of the posts in the opening tem minutes, kicking numerous wides. Danny Cahalane opened Templenoe’s scoring with a point, but Spa quickly responded with their first goal of the match from wing back Shane Cronin. Soon after a long ball was well caught by Adrian Spillane who was subsequently hauled down in the square. Brian Crowley dispatched the resulting penalty to put Templenoe ahead.

On the fifteenth minute, the visitors wing back, Shane Lynch received a black card, and the next attack yielded a point for Templenoe through Patrick Clifford who was operating out of the centre back position. Aidan Fleming who was the black card replacement kicked a good point on the run to leave the score Templenoe 1-02, Spa 1-01.

Spa were getting the better of the exchanges around midfield, and were unlucky not to score a goal when they rattled the crossbar from an opportunity straight in front of the posts. Soon after Spa did get their second goal when Cormac Cronin sped in from the left hand side and finished to the net. Spa quickly followed this up with a point from midfielder Andrew Garnett.

Templenoe fought back well for the last ten minutes of the half, and scored their second goal through Josh Holland. After a few missed opportunities, Templenoe pointed three more times from Josh Holland, Sean Sheehan and Patrick Clifford to leave the half time score, Templenoe 2-06, Spa 2-03.

Spa’s first attack of the second half nearly ended in a goal only for a great diving block from Gavin Crowley. They continued to press for the first few minutes, but did not produce a score. Shane Cremin scored a lovely point from the right hand side with Templenoe’s first attack of the half. Templenoe kicked a few poor wides, but stretched their lead when Cian Hallissey caught the ball in midfield, played a one-two and finished the ball to the net. Very quickly afterwards, a poorly placed pass in the Spa defence ended with Brian Crowley scoring Templenoe’s fourth goal.

Templenoe were now leading on a score of 4-07 to 2-03 and Cian Hallissey continued his good form with a point from play that tipped the crossbar on the way over. With plenty of time left, Spa scored their third goal when Liam Kearney punched a dropping free to the net. The visitors continued to push for goals and passed up on some good point taking opportunities. Templenoe were far more economical with their chances, and scored points from John Rice, Cian Hallissey and Danny Cahalane.

With ten minutes to go, another high ball caused Templenoe problems, and Cormac Cronin punched to the net for his second goal of the match. This proved to be Spa’s last score of the match. Teddy Doyle took the ball on from the 45 meter line, brushed past two defenders to score a great individual goal. Templenoe closed out the match with points from Josh Holland, Martin Reilly, John Rice and Danny Cahalane to emerge comfortable winners on a score of Templenoe 5-14, Spa 4-04

Templenoe Scorers: Brian Crowley 2-00, Cian Hallissey 1-02, Josh Holland 1-02, Danny Cahalane 0-03, Teddy Doyle 1-00, Patrick Clifford 0-02, John Rice 0-02, Shane Cremin 0-01, Sean Sheehan 0-01, Martin Reilly 0-01
