Battling Performance in the opening round of the Div 6 FL

admin — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 21:20:50 +0000

Oldcastle 1-19 Donaghmore/Ashbourne 4-07

A battling performance from the lads this evening (20/03/2026) in Millbrook saw them take the points in this opening round of the Div 6 Football League. It may be at the high cost of the loss of Ryan Kevin to injury, and we all send Ryan our best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Kyle Kavanagh opened the scoring for Oldcastle, followed by another from Keith Connell, and yet another from Conor McHugh, playing outfield, and loving it! More points from the three lads saw Oldcastle build a seven point lead, but Donaghamore/Ashbourne finally got going, blasting in two points and two goals in a matter of five minutes, to go ahead! Michael’s kickout found Conor Delaney, on to Lee Healy, to Brian Hetheron, Ciaran Connell and Ryan Halpin, over to Lloyd Colleran, back to Tom Lynch, to Eoin Smith, on to Conor McHugh and back to Eoin for the equalising point! Don/Ash added one more before the break, to leave it Oldcastle 0-09, Donaghamore/Ashbourne 2-04 at the break.

A super point from Keith Connell opened the second half. Joe Lynch was back for Oldcastle after a long absence to injury, and bagged himself a lovely point. A few points and a goal from the opposition were enough to keep the pressure on though, and they went three points up. Shane Boylan stepped up and converted a free from a mauling given to Conor Delaney, to narrow the gap. Donaghamore/Ashbourne kept the pressure up, a couple of chances back off the post, and some great defending from Ciaran Connell to save Oldcastle hopes. A nicely worked ball all the way upfield soon after found Shane Boylan, a super little chip into the waiting Eoin Smith, he blasted her for the goal but she rebounded, but he was fast enough to get there again and this time there was no denying the goal! Now the lads were a point ahead, and kept motoring, another point from Keith was followed by another point for Shane, after another mauling on Conor Delaney!

Donaghamore/Ashbourne never gave up, and the next five minutes saw them attack time and again, three great pieces of play and three scoring attempts, but wide every time, a testament to the hard work from the Oldcastle defence. They finally broke through however, nearly a melee of attempts in front of goal, before they finally breached the wall and put her to the back of the net once again! 1-16 to 4-07 now, level again! Shane Boylan took a fine point from play, and with the next piece of play Kyle Kavanagh was looking dangerous for Oldcastle but was swung round and upended for his attempts; Keith Connell converting the free. A goal would win it for Donaghamore/Ashbourne and they swept downfield again in a last ditch attempt, but the Oldcastle defence rallied and a super save from Rian Mulvanny repelled them: the ball came back in the right direction, a great run upfield from Tom Lynch, the ball delivered in to Keith Connell, having a super match, and sent over the bar for the final score of a great match, to give the lads a three point win!

Oldcastle: Michael Galligan, Lloyd Colleran, Conor Hetherton, Cillian Connell, Ciaran Connell, Tom Lynch, Lee Healy, Conor Delaney, Ryan Halpin, Brian Hetherton, Keith Connell (0-09), Eoin Smith (1-01), Kyle Kavanagh (0-02), Conor McHugh (0-03), Ryan Kevin. Subs: Joe Lynch (0-01), Shane Boylan (0-03), Rian Mulvanny, Joe Usher, Mossy Flood.

A Superb Performance in Rathkenny

admin — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 21:11:51 +0000

Oldcastle 2-13 Rathkenny 0-06

The pitch looked super in Rathkenny today (21 Mar 2026), the sun shone and it was like summer! Rathkennny started the better, and had three points on the scoreboard before our lads woke up, but when they did, they did! It was emphatic today, Rory Crawley first on the scoreboard, letting the Rathkenny cousins know that we were here for one reason only! Colin Hawdon added on another soon after, but Rathkenny were still dangerous, Conor McHugh having to pull off a super save soon after.

A super high catch from Ryan Halpin, a great match last night and another today; fed on to the speedy Shane Boylan, to Pearse, to Lee Healy, over to Dylan Garrigan and back to Pearse, positioned perfectly to slot her over. Level now, power on, Ronan Maguire, to Shane Boylan on a great run, to Paddy Rahill, to Rory and Oran Mulvanny, on via Colin Hawdon and over to Ryan Halpin for a lovely score. Ryan Halpin and Oran Mulvanny were dominant over the midfield, Rathkenny finding it hard to get even their own kickouts, while Tom Lynch was making great runs. A super dispossess by Oran O’Reilly soon after secured the ball for another Oldcastle attack, nearly at the scoring end when Rathkenny won it back again but another great dispossess, this time from Lee Healy, ball secured, turn and score!

More points from Ryan and Pearse followed, Rathkenny were rattled now, and while they were attacking, everything was going wide. Super defensive work from Cian McPartland, Dylan and Oran, helped by Darren Hawdon who was everywhere, had them on the run. The last ten minutes of this half were superb from Oldcastle, a lovely point from Shane, who soon after was closing in on goal, but seeing Colin Hawdon in a better position he made a great pass and Colin secured the goal! A sideline ball from Paddy Rahill found Lee Healy perfectly, and over the bar for the final score of the half, leaving it Oldcastle 1-09, Rathkenny 0-03 at the break.

The Rathkenny lads were facing an uphill battle in the second half, literally as well as figuratively, with the pitch on a fair auld slope. A Cian McPartland clearance made it all the way to the other end of the pitch, and over the bar thanks to Dylan Garrigan. Another super block from Cian secured the next ball, upfield via Lee, to Darren Hawdon and Colin, back to Darren, back to Colin, to Lee again and finally to Colin once more, before ending up in the back of the net! Rathkenny took a point, but it was Ronan Maguire with the next for Oldcastle. Another for Rathkenny thanks to a free, then a long period where neither team did much. Pearse Sheridan was next on the scoreboard with a converted free. One more score from Rathkenny, but fittingly the last score was for Oldcastle: Colin Hawdon looking dangerous once again in a scoring position, taken out of it, free awarded, Pearse converted. That left the final score Oldcastle 2-13, Rathkenny 0-06, and a feeling of optimism after a great weekend of wins, and a superb performance there this evening!

Oldcastle: Conor McHugh, Cian McPartland, Dylan Garrigan (0-01), Oran O’Reilly, Rory Crawley (0-01), Ronan Maguire (0-01), Tom Lynch, Oran Mulvanny, Ryan Halpin (0-02), Darren Hawdon, Colin Hawdon (2-01), Pearse Sheridan (0-04), Shane Boylan (0-01), Paddy Rahill, Lee Healy (0-02). Subs: Steven Lawless, Conor Delaney, Keith Connell, Rian Mulvanny, Conor Hetherton, CJ Healy, Ciaran Connell.

A good start to the year for the lads

Oldcastle 2-17 Navan O’Mahony’s 1-14

A good start to the year for the lads in their first game in the Corn na Boinne in Millbrook this evening (24/02/2026), with a solid win over Navan O’Mahony’s. The pitch held up well despite all the recent rain, and it was CJ Healy who got things started with a goal within a minute! Cormac Fagan added a point, but NOMs came back with a two-pointer, followed by two more points to level it, before another two-pointer for the lead. Cormac added a point for Oldcastle, but NOMs added two more of their own to stay ahead. A Keith Connell intercept found Shane Boylan, who passed her on to Cormac Fagan in a great position, his powerful shot was saved by the goalie but came back to Garrett O’Reilly who fired her straight back in and this time she hit the back of the net, to level it again.

O’Mahony’s took a point, before Cian McPartland was instrumental in Oldcastle’s next score with plenty of work to get the ball in to Captain Pearse Sheridan, who put her over the bar, level again. A good run from Rory Crawley saw him pass to Garrett for the next, and Oldcastle were unlucky not to get a goal soon after that. O’Mahony’s scored once more, and when the half-time whistle blew it was on a level pegging of Oldcastle 2-04, Navan O’Mahonys 0-10.

Keith Connell’s point was the first of the second half, with a super Dylan Garrigan run getting the ball to Garrett for the next. Oran Mulvanny was now on the pitch, and his strength and height in the middle of the field helped Oldcastle: a super catch from him was fed on to Lee Healy, still a long way out but super accurate for a lovely two-pointer. O’Mahony’s finally added on a point of their own, but Lee came back at them with another for Oldcastle, but the Navan lads finally found the net with a goal, before adding on a point to level this match once again. A Rory Crawley free after a great run got the ball to Keith, on to the flying Dylan Garrigan who was also fouled, Pearse stepped up and sailed her over, another lovely two-pointer. Oldcastle took possession of the game from here: more points from Lee and Pearse, and the final score from the battling Ronan Maguire, saw the fulltime score Oldcastle 2-17, Navan O’Mahony’s 1-12.

The next round of the CnB sees Walterstown come to Millbrook on Wednesday March 4th at 8pm.

Oldcastle: Rian Mulvanny, Sean Maxwell, Dylan Garrigan, Oran O’Reilly, Lee Healy (0-04 inc 1x2P), Cian McPartland, Rory Crawley, Conor Delaney, Pearse Sheridan (0-07 (inc 2x2P), Shane Boylan, Ryan Kevin, Keith Connell (0-01), Garrett O’Reilly (1-02), CJ Healy (1-00), Cormac Fagan (0-02). Subs: Oran Mulvanny, Robbie Smith, Mikey Timmins, Ronan Maguire (0-01), Darren Hawdon, Ryan Halpin, Eoin Smith, Tom Lynch, Ciaran Connell, Brian Hetherton.

U19’s booked a final date with Gaeil Colmcille on this Friday

Oldcastle 2-14 Skryne 0-08

A wet and windy Millbrook was the venue for last night‘s (22/11/2025) U19 Div. 2 semi-final between Oldcastle and Skryne. With conditions hampering the quality of football on display, both teams were slow to get a foothold in the game. Oldcastle chose to play with the wind at their back in the first half. Early scores from Mark Halpin, Ryan Halpin and Paul Hennessy gave Oldcastle the upper hand but Skryne kept in touch with two free kicks of their own. However Oldcastle would finish stronger with a streak of five unanswered points to close out the half.

Skryne struggled to take advantage of the wind in the second half, whereas Oldcastle seemed to find another gear. The crucial scores were two goals coming midway through the second half. The first was a penalty expertly dispatched by Pat Crawley. Then Mikey Timmons made an immediate impact off the bench with a poacher’s finish for the second goal. Some excellent game management from Oldcastle ensured Skryne could not mount a comeback.

They have now booked themselves a final date with Gaeil Colmcille on Friday, 28 November in Dunganny at 8.00pm

Oldcastle: Hayden Cullen, Jack Smith, Thomas Sheridan, Kyle McEnroe, Eoin O’Connell, Rory Crawley, Tom Lynch, Ryan Halpin (0-02), Paul Hennessy (0-02), Alex Smith (0-01), Shane Boylan (0-02), Jack Packenham, Mark Halpin (0-05), Pat Crawley (1-02), James Gibney

Subs: Mikey Timmons (1-00), Matt Lynch, Sean Garrigan, Callum Keating, Jack Nulty, Jack Hand, Ollie Hjert.

2 wins from 2 in the championship

admin — Fri, 15 Aug 2025 13:13:05 +0000

Oldcastle 4-18 Curraha 0-12

The lads made it 2 wins from 2 in a sunny Pairc Tailteann on Thursday evening (14/8/2025). It was Curraha who opened the scoring of the IFC Rd.2 game in the 2nd minute but this was cancelled out by a Paddy Rahill score after some great work by Tom Lynch. Curraha added another before Paul Hennessy caught the ball in the middle of the park and played it to Rory Crawley who tapped it over.

Steven Lawless was getting involved in a lot of the play and went on several trips into the other half. Lee Healy added another after a pin point cross field ball from Paddy Rahill split the defence in half. Curraha were awarded a free after the ball was touched on the ground and their reward was a converted 2 pointer. By this stage Oldcastle could have had three goals but the opening major came in the 18th minute when Oran Mulvanny charged forward and fired to the net. After all the chances we hadn’t to wait too long for the 2nd goal as Lee Healy danced around the keeper to finish to the net. Paddy Rahill left the field due to injury and was replaced by Garrett O’Reilly.

At stages of the first half the play was very stop and go as the Curraha physio made several trips on to the field to treat injuries. Curraha added 2 points before Oran Mulvanney won the high ball in midfield. After some good play the ball found it way back to Oran who tapped it over off his left. With the hooter not in action this evening, all eyes were on the referee when yet another goal chance went a begging before Garrett O’Reilly fired over with the last kick of the 1st half to leave the half time score Oldcastle 2-06 Curraha 0-8.

Paul Hennessy opened the scoring in the 2nd half before the ever reliable Steven Lawless joined Paddy Rahill on the injury bench and was replaced by Cian McPartland. James Cooke and Pat Crawley combined well before Pat was hauled to the ground. The ref awarded the free and Pearse Sheridan made no mistake splitting the posts. Curraha who lost their 1st game v Longwood were battling hard to keep their championship hopes alive but when Jason Scully raced through the defence to fire Oldcastle’s third goal, the gap was starting to grow on the scoreboard.

For the second time in the game full back Dylan Garrigan found himself in the opposition’s penalty box but the ball just wouldn’t go into the net. Pat Crawley who had worked very hard during the game was replaced by Ryan Halpin who was making his championship debut. Curraha were still looking dangerous, but any chance of a comeback ended when Jason Scully found the net for his second goal! The score of the match came late on as Paul Hennessy found himself outside the arc and made no mistake with a fine two-pointer off his left foot. As darkness fell around Pairc Tailteann, Lee Healy finished the scoring with a point in injury time.

The attention now turns to Longwood in the final round.

Oldcastle: Conor McHugh, Thomas Sheridan, Dylan Garrigan, Oran O’Reilly, Rory Crawley(0-02), Paddy Rahill (0-01), Steven Lawless, Paul Hennessy (0-04), Oran Mulvanny(1-01), Tom Lynch, Jason Scully (2-00), Lee Healy (1-03), Pat Crawley, Pearse Sheridan (0-04), Colin Hawdon.

Oldcastle win First Round

Oldcastle 0-22 Drumbaragh 1-15

There was a great Oldcastle support in HQ for the lads today, and a lovely afternoon for football it was. The first half of the IFC (Rd.1) got underway with a Drumbaragh point, but Oldcastle soon got off the mark: Oran O’Reilly securing a Drumbaragh kickout, on to Jason Scully, to Pat Crawley, on to Tom Lynch, over to Paul Hennessey and back to Jason Scully who sailed over a lovey two-pointer. A fine score next from Oran Mulvanny, who was instrumental in the next score also, his running catch fed in to Garrett O’Reilly who was in his favoured kicking position, and he sailed her between the posts. Drumbaragh converted a free; Conor McHugh getting the kickout to Rory Crawley, on via Thomas Sheridan, to Paddy Rahill, to Jason Scully who had to hightail it to the corner and sidestep three tackles as the went, over to Tom Lynch, to Pat Crawley, he spotted Paul Hennessey in a better position and chipped her in to him: Paul scored. Drumbaragh came back with a good attack and what looked like a certain goal, but super defence work from Dylan Garrigan saved the day. Oldcastle had the lion’s share of the possession, but weren’t really getting the return on it, with some wide shots too. Paddy Rahill got a good punch at the ball to bring her down to Pearse Sheridan, who fed a lovely pass on to Paul Hennessey on a run; he scored once more. Drumbaragh kept pushing, and Thomas Sheridan was working hard in defence to keep them out.

A great long ball in from Dylan Garrigan found Pearse Sheridan, and he was in hard luck not to get a goal from it, rattling the back of the net, but from the side, centimetres out. It went back for a free, which Pearse converted. Drumbaragh added on a free of their own soon after, and within a couple of minutes were awarded another, brought up! The gap was now down to two. Jason Scully brought down a high kickout, on to Pat, back to Jason and in to Lee Healy for a point. Drumbaragh attacked again, but great work from Rory Crawley dispossessed their man, on to Oran Mulvanny on a run, on again to Pearse and finally to the younger Crawley, Pat, who put her between the posts.

A lovely, well-worked score from Oldcastle next, Paul Hennessey on to Rory Crawley, back to Paul and on to Oran Mulvanny, to Lee Healy, back to Oran, back to Rory, to Paddy Rahill, back to Lee, on via Steven Lawless, back to Paddy, to Oran again, to Pearse Sheridan, back to Rory and finally in to Tom Lynch for a good solid point. A lovely Paul Hennessey long ball in to Lee soon after, on then to Pearse, and he put it between the posts while under pressure, another nice score, and extending the gap to six. However, Drumbaragh were awarded a free from way out just before the hooter blew, and they converted for the two-points, to give themselves a strategically timed boost and leave the half-time score Oldcastle 0-11, Drumbaragh 0-07.

Into the second -half, and Oldcastle had the perfect start: a super catch from Oran Mulanny, on to Jason Scully, in to Paul Hennessey and between the posts, all within fifteen seconds of the restart! Another from Pearse Sheridan, with a Thomas Sheridan intercept ending up as a Pat Crawley point for three in a row. Tom Lynch added the next for Oldcastle, and it was great to see Colin Hawdon come on soon after, on his return to play after injury. The next opposition kickout was taken down by Dylan Garrigan, who was having a good match, on via the equally hardworking Jason Scully, and in to a man who covered every inch of the pitch, weaving over and back, up and down, without stop; Steven Lawless, a great catch and a fine point for Steven. An eight-point lead had opened by now with ten minutes played, but a lull then, a full seven minutes before the next score: Oran O’Reilly getting the ball on to Darren Hawdon, to Tom Lynch, Dylan Garrigan, on to Pearse Sheridan and Paul Hennessey, to Conor Delaney and finally Pat Crawley who put her between the posts for his third point of his Championship Debut.

Nine points up now with 17 minutes gone and it was looking good, but Drumbaragh finally woke up and started the fight-back: a well-worked piece of play resulting in a goal! They attacked again, a free awarded and dropped in right in front of Conor McHugh’s goal once again, and a literal melee went on for a minute: at least three goal chances attempted and stopped before, finally, the ball was driven out and back up the right direction, Oldcastle hearts in mouth, before a sigh of relief! Rory Crawley added on a score for Oldcastle, but Drumbaragh came again, a good attack resulting in a two-pointer, and reducing the gap still further.

A temporary sub on for Oran Mulvanny after he suffered a ferocious bang to both sides of the head, and lull for a few minutes, but Drumbaragh were on the rampage again in the 25th minute, and added on yet another two-pointer, to leave it a three point game, but worse was to come with the next kick of the ball: Drumbaragh once again, and this time a point scored, now it was a two-point game! Mother of Jesus, we should be out the door the Oldcastle folk were thinking.

But the lads rallied and regrouped, put the heads down and fought back: a Colin Hawdon point in the 27th minute steadying the ship. Brother Darren caught the Drumbaragh kickout, on via Dylan Garrigan, to Cian McPartland, back to Dylan and in to the young Shane Boylan who took a tremendous shot and sailed her stratospherically over the bar! A four-point gap once more, but like the bunny boiler in Fatal Attraction, Drumbaragh came back at us again, a free awarded outside the D, and sent over for another two pointer…we were back in dangerous territory, with 28 minutes on the clock. Oldcastle had a goal chance, it didn’t work out, but the ball back for a mark, and Colin Hawdon sailed her over once again, a three point gap and a minute to go, and with that, the lads kept their composure and kept possession, the ball to Paul Hennessey who put her over the bar for the final score of the game, with the clock reading 29.50, and when the hooter went it was on a final score of Oldcastle 0-22, Drumbaragh 1-15.

Not pretty, but entertaining, heart-stopping at times, but the right winners in the end, and a super spread of scoring, with scores from twelve different players from the twenty who played. Our next Intermediate Championship outing is against Curraha on Thursday 14th in Pairc Tailteann at 7.30pm.
