Our U11 and U12
footballers welcomed Castlehaven to Wolfe
Tone Park
on Friday evening last for two challenge games. The teams were divided into
mainly U11 and U12 teams for the matches.
The U12 game was
a competitive affair with Bantry just ahead at half time, 3-05 to 3-04. The
goals had come courtesy of Ciaran Thornton, Ayrton Doyle and Kevin Clifford
with Shane Crowley among the point scorers. Castlehaven took the initiative
and scored three unanswered points after the restart but Blues got back into
the game with great defending by Greg Cotter, Jack O’Brien and Ted Wiseman. In
the end the visitors ran out winners by 4-14 to 4-09 but it was an enjoyable
and exciting evening for all as it usually is when these clubs meet.
Team: Daniel
Downey, Charlie Lavin, Greg Cotter, Matthew Harley, Jack O’Brien, Ted Wiseman,
Shane Crowley, Ayrton Doyle, Ciaran Thornton, Kevin Clifford.
The other game
was a nine-a-side with lots of scores and great play from both teams.
Castlehaven just shaded it but the Bantry lads kept going to the end and did
themselves proud.
Team: Timmy Keohane,
Barry O’Shea, Ollie O’Shea, Keelan Lynch, Aiden O’Sullivan, Alex O’Donoghue,
Stephen Keane, David Keane, Stephen Murnane.
