CWSSL U12Div1 - Mallow Utd 0 Corkbeg 0

A Halloween away trip to table toppers Mallow United was a spooky prospect for the U12 girls but a superb team performance saw them come away with a well deserved point and with a little more luck in front of goal could have easily exited North Cork with all 3.

Faye was rock solid in goal throughout while the defensive line of Ella, Lola Rae and Meabh were expertly marshalled by Aoife limiting the home side to very few chances on the day.

Corkbeg had a number of chances in the first half crafted by the tireless running of Rosie, Orlaith and Anna up top but just couldn’t find a finish to a series of dangerous balls fired into the opposition penalty area.

When a long Mallow through ball did breach the Beg back line, Meabh covered a huge amount of ground to get back and superbly pressure their striker into shooting wide of the post.

The second half saw Saoirse, Layla and Elizabeth wrestle control of the midfield as Corkbeg pushed for an opener with every ball being fiercely contested all over the park.

A number of knocks saw a flurry of substitutions but the girls never stopped pushing for a winner and with seconds left on the clock the best chance of the game fell to the visitors when Saoirse brilliantly drove into the box and squared the ball across the goal which just agonisingly evaded the onrushing Rosie and Layla for what would have been a certain winner.

All 11 girls can be massively proud of that performance which was filled with heart, character and great passing football throughout. Thanks to all who made the long trip to cheer them on all game, fantastic support as usual.

Next up is a home fixture on Saturday 14 November against Macroom.

U-19 League – Corkbeg 0 Avondale 2

Corkbeg were beaten at home by an excellent Avondale side in Whitegate on Saturday morning. It was a close fought game and the lads were competitive, but two second half strikes did the damage for the Blackrock side.

Avondale started the better of the sides and probably should have been a goal up in the opening stages of the game. As the half went on, Corkbeg started to get a foothold & Jamie Walsh went close with a good strike. Both goalkeepers made some routine saves in the opening half and Avondale also had a strike on goal that came back off the post. But it remained 0-0 at half time, with Corkbeg doing well overall to contain an Avondale side who kept possession very well, with both Adam Lewis & Huey Cunningham getting through an amount of work.

Early chances in the second half for both sides. Josh McCarthy had an excellent strike brilliantly saved by the Avondale goalkeeper, while a deflected cross shot by Avondale was well saved by Jago Evans at the other end. But it didn’t take long for the deadlock to be broken as another Avondale cross came off Sam McAllister and found the net.

After that, it remained nip and tuck, but Avondale did have the lions share of the more clear cut chances. Avondales goalkeeper made some fine saves from Jamie Walsh, Jack Mulcahy & Josh McCarthy too, but Jago Evans was in fantastic form in the Corkbeg goal – making brilliant stops from a diving header and especially good when the Avondale striker strode through on goal one on one to keep Corkbeg in the game. Jago was outstanding on the day.

But Avondale had the final word in the final minute when Jago saved well again but the rebound from Sean McNamee found the net despite the best efforts of Ewan Forbes on the goaline. A good performance by the lads overall against a very good Avondale side.

U13 Con Elliot Founders Cup

Carrigaline D v Corkbeg

On a breezy morning in Ballea Park, Carrigaline, the Corkbeg U13 team qualified for the last 32 of the Founders Cup with a solid win according to the score line, but in truth it took our lads a while to get going.

They got off to a great start with excellent close control by Sam McCarthy wide on the right setting up Tom Cahill by the end line to create the opportunity for a crips finish by Adam Coakley. Excellent start , but for the next 18-20 minutes or so our passing wasn’t as accurate, our intensity dropped and the the home team defended well to keep it at 1-0.

We had some shots on target , some shots went wide , there was individual moments of skill here and there , but nothing that would change the score line to reflect our level of possession. However, right on cue, just approaching half time , Adam and Tomas Day opened up the home rearguard down the middle before passing to Jack Dineen to finish confidently to the net. The second goal took some of the ‘edge‘ off the the half time team tallk, ……. but not much !!.

With just the bare 11 players available, the same young men were sent into battle for the second 30 minutes with clear instructions to bring intensity and intent to their game and , to a man, they did just that . Good work by Tom wide on the right, who slipped Adam into position to cross into the box and it was the inform Jack who scored to double his goal tally. Tom was the starting point for the next goal also, as his pass found Sam by the end line . Sam sent in a terriffic ball across the goal mouth which the hard running Issac Logue came in off his wing to get on the end of and drive it to the net . 4-0 up, much better intensity and plenty opportunities being created .

Jack had sent in some terriffic corners from the right in the first half . This time he played it short to Sam and took the return ball , which allowed Jack cross from a different angle , pinging in a great cross for the in rushing Issac to stretch and head to the net . This was quickly followed by a free kick on the left hand edge of the box which Tomas swing in with his right . With a wall and a crowded goal mouth in front of him , the bounce deceived the home keeper , with the ball nestlling in the corner of the next .

For the final goal , Jack went from goal scorer to provider , as he set up Tomas for a shot to the back of the net that completed the scoring . While every one of the lads showed a lot more determination in the second half , including our goalie Justin O’Leary who ended up wide on the right due to a team mates injury, overall it was a performance driven by the work rate of Adam and the skill and clever play of Sam over 60 minutes

So it’s back to the league fixtures next before the lads face Lakewood B at home in the next round .

St Michaels Cup – Cathedral Celtic 1 Corkbeg 3

A fantastic win for the lads on Sunday morning at the Fairfield, with a hard fought 3-1 win over a tough Cathedral Celtic side in the St Michaels Cup. It was a game completely ruined by the gale force wind, as both teams struggled to control the ball and pass the ball around with any degree of accuracy. But you couldn’t deny that Corkbeg deserved their win after a scrappy 90 minutes in testing conditions.

Corkbeg played with the aid of the hurricane in the opening half, but if anything, it hindered their game. Passes and through-balls were often over-hit and people having an early lunch in Dinos down in Blackpool must have wondered if a free football came with every large meal deal.

Corkbeg dominated territory and possession, but Cathedral were very dangerous on the break, with Corey Ryan & Kyle O Callaghan causing problems early on. And it was that combination that gave the Northsiders an early lead – O Callaghans cross-goal shot looked to be heading well off target, but Ryan improvised brilliantly to guide a first time finish to the opposite corner to give Cathedral the lead on seven minutes. And it should have been 2-0 on 20 minutes, as O Callaghan set up Ryan for what looked like an easy finish, but he struck the outside of the post at full stretch.

Despite a few wayward efforts from Jordan Ryan, Jordan Tynan & Alan Hogan, Corkbeg stayed well in the game and Cathedral struggled to get out of their own half – mainly due to the wind. On 34 minutes, the constant pressure paid off. Jordan Ryan floated a fantastic ball to the incoming Jordan Ryan and his firm header cannoned back off the post, but Ryan was quickest to react to the loose ball and fired home to level the game.

It got better for Corkbeg a minute before the break when some outstanding work from Ryan O Regan down the left set up Alan Hogan to apply a back-heeled finish that nestled in the bottom corner to give Corkbeg a half time lead.

Corkbeg knew it would be backs to the wall in the 2nd half, as Cathedral took their turn to have the aid of the typhoon. Kyle O Callaghan had the ball in the Corkbeg net on 55 minutes, but his effort was rightly ruled out for handball. Soon afterwards, Corkbeg looked to be denied a stonewall penalty when Alan Hogan was taken down in the Cathedral area, but referee Paul Bowdren waved play on.

Corkbeg, however, started to get a grip in midfield and both Oisin Worsencroft & Jordan Tynan nullified the threat of Cathedrals Adam Carroll, who was excellent in the opening half. Alan Hogan started to come more into the game too and he was a constant outlet for Corkbeg. Twice Hogan drew decent saves from Cathedral goalkeeper Kristian O Sullivan, while Ryan O Regan shot wide from 20 yards in front of an open goal after Corkbeg capitalised on a mistake at the back.

But Corkbegs defence was outstanding on the day with Tariq Tynan & Josh Deady hardly missing a ball all day long, while both Chris Cotter & Dylan O Neill allowed nothing pass them down the wings. In fact, Cathedral barely had a shot on goal during the entire second half and anything that did come in whistled high and wide of Ray Savages goal.

Cathedrals Eoin O Connell received a second yellow card for a challenge on Savage in the final minute to galvanise the Corkbeg lead. In injury time, one final Cathedral free kick saw their goalkeeper Kristian O Sullivan join their forward line, but Corkbeg counter-attacked. And as O Sullivan backtracked towards his own goal, Oisin Worsencroft bore down on goal and drove a shot through the keepers hands to make the game safe for Corkbeg.

A brilliant win against seriously tough opposition. A scrappy game ruined by the gale force wind, but a great way to advance to the next round of the Div1 cup.
