The
senior team were defeated twice over the Easter weekend by Calry on
both occasions. On Good Friday Corran Park was the venue for the Benson
Cup
Final.
Castleconnor played
with the wind in the first half and started brightly earning a well
deserved 3 point lead before Calry began to show with a few
scores in quick succession. It was nip and tuck until a high ball into
the westerner's goalmouth resulted in the ball being placed in the
Castleconnor net just before the halftime whistle sounded. Calry led at
the interval 1-5 v 0-6. In the second half the
Calry men pushed on with another number of unanswered points and we
struggled to keep with them. Another goal from the North Sligo outfit
sealed the deal even though Michael Langan's introduction sparked life
into the team. A late rally and good spells of play
followed but this wasnt converted on the score board. There was a long
break in play due to a Niall Judge injury. Final score after 83 minutes
on the clock was 2-13 v 0-10. This resulted in the first loss of the
year for the team and it showed the level we
need to be at to escape the intermediate ranks.
