U15 Football League Final

Clane 1:7 Raheens 1:6

 

The curtain finally came down on Clane’s year on the GAA field today and what a finale to reach with the U15 footballers claiming the honours in this close and often intense battle with Raheens.  The Caragh based club would have set out as favourites having won all their round robin series of games but the mantle of underdog seemed to inspire the men in white.  The strength in depth of the Clane side was severely tested with a number of withdrawals in the week leading up to the final.  It was a huge task to expect a positive result without players like Ciaran Quinn, Michael O’Reilly and Kenneth Forrest.  Added to that was the loss of key midfielder Thomas Cribbin some weeks back with a serious hand injury.

 

Half-time team talk

Half-time team talk

On a very crisp December morning, in the wonderfully presented playing field at Raheens, it was the men in Saffron and Blue who set the scoreboard in motion.  The first point came from a 13m free by Barry Winters after Darragh Callaghan dived to cut out what could have been a certain goal.  Clane’s response was rapid with one of the scores of the game coming within a minute.  A long clearance from Darragh Callaghan was superbly fielded in the middle of the park by Sean Christanseen who transferred inside to Sean O’Rourke.  He turned and fired straight over from 30m.  From the resultant kick out, Paddy McKenna won the ball out on the right wing and dispatched it straight back over the black spot. 

 DSC_0762

With Clane in the ascendancy, it looked like a decent score could be put up and when Killian Patchell took a pass from Paddy McKenna, the fleet footed youngster raced away to make it 0:4 to 0:1 from 30m.  A quick breakaway downfield from Raheens caught several defenders out of position and Clane were lucky when Dylan Hannon opted to fire over with the goal at his mercy.  In the 14th minute, a fine passage of play ended when Killian Patchell broke clear and released to Kyle Judge on the edge of the square.  Judge turned and blasted to the back of the net.  Raheens kept in touch and even though they only added two more points in the remainder of the half, they had become stronger, especially in the half back line, which cut the supply to Clane’s inside forwards.  Clane held the advantage at the break 1:4 to 0:4 after Paddy McKenna slotted a late free following a foul on Kyle Judge.

 

That winning feeling

That winning feeling

On the resumption, Clane were first out of the blocks and a move instigated by Finn Moore, continued at pace through Darren O’Meara and Sean O’Rourke to Daire McLoughlin for a wonderful score.  Shortly afterwards, Raheens were awarded a free 40m from goal which was driven in by Barry Winders, the ball broke for David Malone, he slammed his effort off the crossbar and it rebounded to safety.  Minutes later Raheens came close when a strike by Jonathan Hanbury which ended up in the side netting.

 DSC_0765

Sean O’Rourke relieved the pressure when he slotted over following a foul on Mark Tutty 25m from goal.  Once more, the upright denied Hanbury as Clane were forced to defend bravely.  When Sean O’Rourke narrowly missed after a great build up at the three-quarter mark and Winders subsequently closed the gap for Raheens, an epic finish was about to unfold.  First of all, Killian Patchell converted from close in to leave Clane 1:7 to 0:4 in front.  An injury to Clane’s full back, Darragh Callaghan forced a reshuffle with Peter McCreevey going to the edge of the square and Cathal O’Brien being introduced.  With Raheens now surging forward it was only a matter of time before Mark O’Shea was taking the ball out of his net from from a Jonathan Hanbury effort having first saved superbly at the feet of in-rushing Thomas Flannagan.  The tension began to get to the players and in a three-minute spell Raheens were reduced to 13 following red cards to Dean Campbell and Hanbury.  Winders then pointed to leave the minimum between the sides with three minutes remaining.  Raheens continued to pile on the pressure and while Clane’s defence held firm, they still had to face a 45m free three minutes into stoppage time which sailed to the left and wide.  When the final whistle sounded, celebrations could begin in earnest with Clane prevailing 1:7 to 1:6.

    DSC_0763

It took a real team effort with Darragh Callaghan and Peter McCreevey leading a great performance from the six defenders.  Killian Patchell, Paddy McKenna and Sean O’Rourke led the charge up front.  However, man of the match performance came from captain Sean Christanseen who was outstanding throughout especially in those last 15 minutes when strong defence was required.  These are the days that make men out of boys!  Congratulations to the team managers Pat Judge, John Christanseen and mentors Frank Cribbin, Joe Malone and Mick O Rourke.

Clane on RTE TV TOAST

November 8th, 2009
Rachel Mulqueen, Brian Healy, Oisin McKenna

Rachel Mulqueen, Brian Healy, Oisin McKenna

A bunch of young, talented and (extremely) intelligent Clane GAA members ranging from 9 – 12 years have recently been taking part in an RTE quiz show called TOAST. They successfully negotiated the first round beating a very strong Malahide girls U14 Basketball team in an extremely competitive show. The team made up of Brian Healy (Captain) , Rachel Mulqueen and Oisin McKenna and supported magnificently by their friends and teamates started a little bit slowly in the first round but then settled down and slowly ate into Malahide’s lead. Going into the final pivotal ‘Rapid Relay’ bike round where large numbers of points can be picked up they were behind 19 points to 26 which translated to 190 metres Vs 260 metres before embarking on the bike round. However some magnificent answering and energetic cycling meant that Clane GAA overturned the lead and when the metres were tallied up Clane squeaked through on the bikes by a margin of 70 metres, Clane – 810 metres Vs Malahide – 740 metres. An ecstatic Clane GAA immediately dusted themselves off looking forward to the quarter Final where they will come up against a fellow GAA team from Glengariff in Cork. This (quarter final) show will be going out on Network 2 on Saturday morning the 14th Nov at 10.00. How did Clane GAA do?? It was another extremely close contest but you’ll have to tune in to see how it finished….

In the second half Clane came out strong and quickly scored 4 more points – James McCreevey (0-1), Danny Egan (0-2), Niall O’Brien (0-1).  Clane introduced 2 subs Warren Beale for Craig Gartland and Conor Murphy for Ryan McGrath.  Conor Murphy immediately scored a point on his first touch of the ball.  Clane were 3 points in front up to the last ten minutes when the pulled further away to win 1-13 to Confey’s 0-8.

Celbridge defeat Clane in Camogie Senior Championship

August 30th, 2009

Referee: Alan LaGrue

Venue: Clane

Time: 06.45pm

In what was to be a very exciting match, Celbridge knocked Clane out of the Camogie Senior Championship 4-04 to 1-06.

Celbridge got off to a good start when Susie O’Carroll pounced on a loose ball and stuck it in the back of the net. Clane responded in the most emphatic fashion with Christine O’Reilly setting up a great goal for Paula Malcomson, but they had little time to celebrate as Susie O’Carroll took the ball and struck it over the bar. Clane did not have time to fight back as the ball landed in the Celbridge forward line and Laurie McDermott hit it low into the back of the net, giving Celbridge a four point lead. Paula Malcomson responded with a well aimed point, narrowing the gap. Susie O’Carroll scored another two goals before the half-time whistle, when the scoreline read 4-01 to 1-01.

Clane dominated the 2nd half of the match. Yvonne Lyons – who came on for Deirdre Grace – scored a great point from play, followed by another point from Ciara Smullen and a well struck long range point from Lisa O’Connor. Celbridge answered with three points from Susie O’Carroll widening the gap between the teams to eight points. Ciara Smullen scored two more points from frees. Clane, who fought hard through the whole match, were the better team; but missed many goal chances, making Celbridge the victors on the day.
