Jekyll and Hyde Performance nearly delivers the points for Carraig.

by | Jul 18, 2018 | Club News, Match Reports |

East Cork JHL Division 3 Result: Carraig na bhFear 2-19 Sarsfields 2-21 Riverstown, July 17. A first half performance that lacked aggression, belief and simple honesty of effort from the Carraig Junior Hurlers was replaced by a totally different display in the second half that nearly won the points on offer in this Round 3 game of the East Cork Junior Hurling League. Carraig trailed by 10 points at half time, fifteen points to five and it could have been worse. An overworked defensive unit in which D O Driscoll and T Sheehan were to the fore front, just about kept Carraig in the game at half time. Sarsfields were scoring points for fun at times with little pressure being exerted on their defenders or players in the middle third. On the resumption of the second half, Carraig gradually ate into the Sars lead. R Spillane, S Farrell and P O’Sullivan hit a number of good points and the lead was down to 4 points with 8 minutes left to play, 0-19 to 0-15. In a welter of excitement, both teams plundered two goals each in a four minute period. Carraig managed to level the game with a few classy points from the two O Sullivans in the full forward line and it was 2-19 apiece heading into injury time. Sars rallied and went two in front in the blink of an eye, yet Carraig fought back and were extremely unlucky not to goal again as a blistering shot hit the crossbar from P O’Sullivan. Carraig forced a number of late 21 yard frees but could not breach the...

Carraig bow out of East Cork Football Championship

by | Jul 16, 2018 | Club News, Match Reports |

East Cork Junior A Football Championship Semi Final Carraig na bhFear 0-15 Fr O Neills 2-10. Midleton, Sunday July 15.   The time read 27 minutes into the second half; three minutes left with four minutes injury time to play. Carraig na bhFear were leading an unremarkable game so far, by five points, and were in control. O Neills were hanging on by Carraig’s coat tails for the majority of the game, but one sensed without a dramatic turnaround, this was heading for a Carraig na bhFear win and a first East Cork Final appearance in ten years……and then it happened. In a six minute spell, Fr O Neills pilfered 2 goals and a point to Carraigs solitary point and our dreams were shattered. The look of shock and dumbfoundedness spoke volumes from the faces of the Carraig team, mentors and supporters as the Referee blew for full time. Fr O Neills celebrated giddily, unsure themselves how they did it but still delighted to be heading for a final. The slow torturous walk into the dressing rooms for the Carraig players and management was reminiscent of that fateful day for Limerick at Croke Park in ’94. This hurt. The game was played to a sparse gathering at Pairc Mainistir na Corann and the lack of atmosphere lead to a surreal quality at times. Both teams started tentatively, acclimatizing to the hard ground, bare grass and wide expanses of a true hurling paddock. Tar eis do dheag noimead, do bhi na foirne ar chomhscor, dha chuilin ar dha thaobh. Ach do thosaigh Carraig ag obair go dian dibhirceach I lar...
