DOUGLAS GAA UNDERAGE
U –14 “A” County Football Final
Douglas 2-9 Nemo 1-5
Nemo were first to settle in this match and went in front with an
early point. Douglas replied with a fine point from Brian O’Donovan.
Terry O’Connell and Jason Martin O’Sullivan began to
dominate mid-field and this led to Douglas leading at half-time
by 2-7 to 1-3. While Nemo battled hard in the second Half the
desire to win by every Douglas player made sure this was a
memorable victory. From Shane McCarthy in goal, right up to Colm
O’Sullivan at full forward every player was a star on the
day. Praise must be given to the mentors who struck with the team
through the lean times and finally got their reward.
U – 15 Hurling League semi-Final Douglas 2-5 na Piarsaig 5-12
Douglas came up against a very skillful and hungry na Piarsaig
team who were strong all over the field as well as having some
fantastic individuals and led 2-8 to 0-2 at half time. Douglas
came out in the second half determined not to let themselves down
and scored 1-2 in the early minutes, Stephen Moylan scored the
goal from an almost impossible angle. Douglas fought hard but a
few more goals for na Piarsaig give them a big win.
U – 12 Football League Semi-Final Douglas (2) 6-4 Barrs 3-2
The first half was a close affair and but for some great
goalkeeping by Kieran Woods, Douglas could have been behind at
half time. In the second half the Douglas forwards got their act
together to book their place in the final. Matthew O’Callaghan
was outstanding at mid-field and finished a great performance
with a fine point. Paul O’Driscoll also played- well after
returning from injury. Good Luck! in the final.

the early stages of the second half and went into a six point
lead . Douglas dug deep and scored three fine points but the
whistle came too soon. Mark Collins work rate was again inspiring

DOUGLAS CREDUT UNION STREET LEAGUES
By Garry White.
FRIDAY 8TH NOVEMBER.
Hordes of children and parents packed the gym hall last Friday
where a marvellous footballing evening ensued. This week the U-9
and U-10 children are in my thoughts as skill and entertainment
were high on the agenda. In the U-9 section, Rebel duo Caolan
Mulrooney and Sinead Kearney ran the show for Cork, while James O
Mahoney was steadfast in his efforts for Down. The Dubs had their
heroes in Eoin Harris and Robert Lehane. Laois Colossus Michael
Holland had another fine night, while Stephen Cleary and Matthew
Grogan worked hard for Offaly. In completing the U-9 report, we
had Ian Lucey in Premier form for Tipp.
Next up were the U-10 children who enhanced the evening further.
Magnificent tackling and long range point scoring was very much
in evidence. Special plaudits must go to Derry's Stephen Collins
and Robert O Donovan, while Galway had Herculean efforts from
Brian Hickey and Johnnie Lingwood.
DOUGLAS HALL LADIES
Under 18’s
Douglas Hall went out to face on of their hardest competitors in
this years season last Sunday. Douglas Hall traveled to Wilton.
From kick of its only far to say that Wilton dominated the game,
winning a lot of the play in midfield, it just looked like it
wasn’t going to the Hall’s day. That definitely ran
throw more minds than one when Douglas Hall left Wilton get an
easy goal in the opening minutes. Second half starting and so did
the Douglas Hall girls. From goalkeeper Trish to the forward line
Donna and Elaine, Douglas Hall started the second half a new team.
Battling to win every ball that came their way. Making beautiful
passes but front but nothing seemed to be paying off. Finally
Douglas Hall got the break they deserved with a late goal from
Donna O’Leary. Douglas Hall played as a team in the second
half and it paid of. One all draw was a far enough result as the
end of the day.

DOUGLAS GAA SENIOR SECTION
Report by Pat Harrington
DOUGLAS DEFEAT CARRIGALINE TO QUALIFY FOR FOOTBALL LEAGUE FINAL
Douglas owned the ball throughout the first half of this contest
as they displayed some excellent passages of play – one in
particular resulting in a point as the ball was moved with great
skill from one end of the field to the other. In truth though,
Douglas squandered a lot of scoring chances while they still led
by 0 – 5 to 0 – 3 at the break.
Following the interval Carrigaline goaled to level the scores.
Immediately afterwards the southeast side went into the lead. At
this time the real character of the Douglas lads shone through.
For ten minutes they fought tooth and nail to equalise. They then
hit a purple patch and proceeded to go into a five-point lead.
Back came Carrigaline to score their second goal before Douglas
finished the scoring to finish with a three point margin, 0
– 13 to 2 – 4. They meet Nemo or Passage next weekend.
See noticeboard for details.
Pádraig McCarthy and John Collins were very prominent in the
fullback line, Mark Kennedy worked hard at midfield and the
Spillane brothers were solid as ever.
MINOR “A” LEAGUE
Douglas entertained Brian Dillon’s in this contest. Dillons
got off to the best possible start scoring a very early goal.
Douglas soon came to terms with the opposition, scoring the next
five points without reply. Dillon’s finished the half well
to score two points and draw level at the break, 1 – 2 to 0
– 5.
Douglas turned to play with the elements in the second period and
opened well with a goal from Vincent Kiely. The northsiders hit
back with two points before Douglas went on a scoring spree.
Henry Thorton had a goal, Vincent Kiely (1pt.) Denis O’Riordan
(3pts.) and Niall Crowley (1pt.) After Dillon’s had scored a
goal Ian O’Regan and Michael O’Mahony scored a goal
each for Douglas who finished winners on a scoreline of 4 –
11 to 2 – 4.
Ian O’Regan and Brian T. O’Callaghan were solid at the
heart of the Douglas defence. Graham Coughlan won some good ball
and generally defended well. Niall Crowley and Pádraig Greaney
were others to impress. This team play Valley Rovers next weekend.
UNDER 14 COUNTY CHAMPIONS
Congratulations to Douglas under 14 footballers who won the under
14 county over the weekend. The team defeated Nemo Rangers on a
scoreline of 2 – 9 to 1 – 5. The club has won the
county at under 14 level over the last four years – a
magnificent record. Well done to their mentors who steered them
through to this success.
MINOR PREMIER HURLING
Douglas travelled to Newtownshandrum last Saturday to play the
locals in a challenge. Both sides were short some regulars.
Douglas got into their stride very early. The ball was played
into the forwards quickly setting up some excellent scores.
Richard Harris was very influential at midfield while David O’Connor
took some fine scores and Mark O’Callaghan played some
pinpoint passes to his colleagues. Denis O’Riordan was very
dependable in goal.
The north Cork team got on top in the second half as the Douglas
side lost some of its shape. Wrong options were taken at times;
there were too many short passes. Still Douglas had eight points
to spare at the finish. The conditions were very trying but under
the circumstances Douglas can feel pleased with the result. On
December 1st. Douglas meet either Bandon or Valley Rovers in the
county league semi-final. There is room for improvement here.
DOUGLAS COMMUNITY SCHOOL

Simcox cup. (Football) on home ground at 3.00pm. On Wednesday, 20th.
