Castlerahan club notes

August 19, 2010
SENIORS 
Having booked their place in the Quarter Finals of the Senior Championship, Castlerahan Seniors resumed their league campaign with a hard fought point at home to Lacken on Saturday last.  Having trailed their counterparts by six points with just six minutes remaining it looked as though Lacken would leave with full points; however a late rally with scores from Ronan Flanagan, Sean Brady and Cian Mackey meant the sides finished all square at the final whistle.  
The seniors are back in Championship action at Kingspan Breffni Park on Sunday 29th August where they take on Mullahoran in the quarter final. Throw in is 7.30pm.   
 
JUNIORS 
The juniors had a resounding victory on Tuesday night last when they defeated Lacken on a scoreline of 1-15 to 2-06.  Lacken got off to a poor start after their weekend Championship defeat and only registered a single point in the opening half.  Castlerahan on the other hand, started the game brightly and points from Stephen Wright, Stephen Coleman and Paul Smith among others saw them take a ten point lead as the half time break approached.  A goal for the home side in the dying minutes of the half from wing back Enda O'Connell all but finished the game as a contest.  To Lacken's credit they dug deep in the second half and outscored Castlerahan comfortably but they couldn't peg back their opponents as the half time gap proved just too big a mountain to climb.
