Junior C’s made it 2 Championship wins for Oldcastle over the weekend

Oldcastle 0-12 Castletown 2-4
Oldcastle started the brightest in the first round game of the Junior C FC  played in Ballinlough on Sunday (21 May 2017) and opened the scoring through well worked attacks that were converted by corner forward Colin Curran and midfielder Ignas Ramonas.
Castletown however struck the Oldcastle net and raised the white flag on two occasions to give them the edge halfway through the first half but Oldcastle ensured that the game would remain in the balance by scoring four points without reply through half forward Lee Healy, Conor Delaney (2) and a converted free through corner forward Kyle Kavanagh.

HT score 0-6 to 1-2 in favour of Oldcastle.

The second half was equally as battling and finely balanced as the first. Both teams put on brave and resilient performances in true championship fashion and both knew that each score struck was vital in the outcome of the match.

Oldcastle stretched their lead through two further points from Lee Healy and a fine effort from full forward Brian Griffin but were by no means over the line as Castletown had the ball in the Oldcastle net for a second time and struck two points to set up a nervy finish.

Oldcastle nonetheless had the final say when it counted and up stepped Kyle Kavanagh to convert a further two frees and Conor Delaney raised the white flag once more to ensure victory was theirs.

Next up in the Junior Championship for Oldcastle is a test against Simonstown GFC.
