Caulry Saga (4) Under-16 LGF Championship Replay: Mullingar Shamrocks 0-5 Caulry 1-9.

On Monday night our mini-series with Caulry concluded for 2018 when our Under-16 LGF team was eliminated from the championship on a 1-9 to 0-5 scoreline. Conditions were difficult for football with a strong wind blowing in the D'Alton Park direction. The Shamrocks girls played against this wind in the first half and seemed to be ideally placed at the interval with the score reading 0-6 to 0-2 in favour of Caulry. That this was the situation was due to some superb defending by our fullback line in particular with Nellie, Sadhbh and Aoibheann outstanding and defending superbly several dangerous situations. Chloe Flood-McCormack was also a safe goalkeeper. Our two points were scored by Jenna Kelly and Chloe Smullen. Shamrocks were the first to score in the second half when Chloe Smullen pointed after a great Annemarie O'Reilly pass but a Caulry rocket of a goal from Ruth Martin was a severe setback (1-6 to 0-4). Inspired by a great performance from midfielder Jasmine Maloney, Caulry dominated from that point. Chloe Smullen pointed and a great solo run by Chloe ended with a superb save by the Caulry goalkeeper when a goal might have inspired a comeback (A similar run by Chloe in the first half also ended with a great save). Small margins make the difference and overall Caulry were worthy winners on the night. Jenna Kelly pointed a free to complete the Shamrocks total in this grade for 2018. Well done to all the girls who worked so hard on the night and played some great football in the process and who were very unlucky not to land the victory down in Caulry. Mullingar Shamrocks: Chloe Flood-McCormack, Nelly Nwokiewu, Sadhbh O'Brien, Aoibheann Regan, Annemarie O'Reilly, Máread Newman, Eve Hynes, Susanna Buckley and Laura Culkin, Jenna Kelly (0-2), Allison Bane, Jasmine Haugh, Ruth Keane, Katie Kelly, Chloe Smullen (0-3), Fathiya Abdelrahic, Órla Neville, Mia Gilligan, Abby Smith.
