Mulcahy Steel U21 C Football Championship final

 

Castlelyons 3-11  

 

Glenville 2-11

 

Castlelyons claimed the Mulcahy Steel U21 C Football Championship final after a hard fought victory over Glenville in Castlelyons on Friday.
 
 The eventual winners were 2-6 to 1-4 clear at the break, but had to hold off a strong Glenville fightback in the second half. Sam Dennehy and James Buckley were sprung from the bench at the break and made a huge difference in the later period, while Dylan Leetch impressed in midfield for Castlelyons as the teams were tied heading into the final 10 minutes.

 

A well-taken Castlelyons goal nudged the hosts in front, but Glenville reduced the deficit to two going into added time. A leveller would not be found for Glenville though, and Castlelyons prevailed by three to advance to the county section, where they’ll face Kilbrittain. Willie Wing presented the cup to winning captain Oisin Morrison.

 

In the first half Castlelyons had been on top early with Adam Lardner and Ciarán Murphy landing scores, but Glenville took the lead when Shane O’Callaghan dispatched a brilliant goal.
 
 However, Castlelyons would regain the upper hand with two goals before the break to lead by five, and they had the nerve to prevail after a tightly contested second half.

 

Scorers for Castlelyons: S O’Callaghan 1-3 (1 tp), M Rosner 1-2, C Murphy 1-1, A Lardner 0-2, C Sheehan, K Abdelrazik, J Cremin 0-1 each.
 
Scorers for Glenville: J Hennebry 1-3 (1 tp), L Foley (0-1 f), J Buckley (0-1 45) 0-3 each, S O’Callaghan 1-0, M O’Riordan, S Dennehy 0-1 each.
