Cushendall produced a relentless, powerful performance on Wednesday evening in Armoy to dispatch Ballycastle and retain their u21 crown.  It was a strong, accomplished 60 minutes of work from the Ruairi Og’s with the foundation for victory laid in the first half.

Despite playing into a strong breeze in Armoy, Cushendall took an 11 point lead into the interval with first half goals coming from Joseph McLaughlin and Oisin Woodhouse.  Woodhouse would go on to complete his hat-trick in the second half and take the man of the match accolade as Cushendall cruised to the final whistle.

The Cushendall team stand for a minute’s silence before the game, in memory of Alex McCambridge, father of team mentor Seamus McCambridge who died on Monday.

Joseph McLaughlin had an excellent game for the champions with his defensive work rate shinning in the first half before cutting lose in the second.  The midfield duo of Callagh Mooney and Darach Bradley helped Cushendall to maintain a stranglehold of the game while the half back trio of Alex McCambridge, Austin Birt and Charlie McAuley kept the Ballycastle attack in check for long periods.

Niall McClean had an excellent game for Ballycastle in the middle of the pitch and won a mountain of dirty ball while Cathair Donnelly covered every blade of the Armoy pitch.  The work rate of the Town throughout the full hour should be commended and they never let their intensity levels drop but this was always going to be a massive ask against a talented Cushendall side.

The Ruairi Og’s got off to the dream start with Joseph McLaughlin finding the back of the Ballycastle net with just 33 seconds gone.  Collecting the sliotar wide on the left, he showed his defender a clean pair of heels before beating Ruairi McShane with a smart finish.

Cushendall had increased their lead to six by the 10th minute with Fiontan Bradley and Oisin Woodhouse firing over along with Thomas McLaughlin while a free from Cadhan Crawford and Matthew Donnelly was the Town’s response. 

The second Cushendall goal, and Woodhouse’s first, was a brilliant solo effort with the Ruairi Og full forward collecting the sliotar wide on the left and with his pick up, he managed to evade the Ballycastle tackles.  He went straight for goal and gave McShane no chance between the sticks.

Cushendall stretched that lead to double figures before the half time break and while Ballycastle competed in the middle third, they found the Cushendall defence a tough nut to crack.  Daragh Donnelly and a brace from Crawford getting their scores while Cushendall had three frees from Fiontan Bradley along with points from Oisin Woodhouse and Thomas McLaughlin before the half time whistle.

Ballycastle’s Matthew Donnelly.

Despite leading 2-11 to 0-6 at the interval, Cushendall’s intensity levels never dipped in the second half.  Ballycastle did make a bright start with Crawford testing the Cushendall defence with a sweetly struck free that looked goal bound but a couple of missed frees didn’t help their cause.  In fairness to the Ballycastle man, the wind seemed to have increased and the rain was driving in his direction making life extremely difficult for any free taker. 

Thomas and Joseph McLaughlin got the opening scores of the second half before Fiontan Bradley’s sixth of the game and second from open play got the Ruairi’s firing again.

Joe McNaughton added his name to the list of scorers before Woodhouse bagged his second and third majors of the game in the space of six minutes.  Shrugging off the challenge of Ardan Kelly, Woodhouse was through and made no mistake when presented with the chance.  A brace of Ballycastle points from Crawford and Cormac was an excellent response to Woodhouse’s major but the game was sealed and hat-trick complete by the 48th minute.  Joseph McLaughlin with a brilliant piece of forward play in the build up that saw him evade challenges and invite more before having the presence of mind to find Woodhouse and his finish was exemplary.

Nicholas McLaughlin fired over moments later to ensure all six Cushendall forwards found their names on the list of scorers and the Ruairi’s maintained a level of control in the final quarter.

They could have had a fifth major only for the upright to deny substitute Oran McCambridge while Daragh Kelly was unlucky not to get a shot away at the other end of the pitch but the Cushendall defence and work rate overall was impressive all evening and showed no signs of waning.

Cushendall’s hat-trick hero Oisin Woodhouse

A brace of points from Crawford and substitute Ben Woodhouse rounded off Ballycastle’s scoring while Cushendall fired over three points unanswered with a brace of frees from Joseph McLaughlin either side of substitute Killian McNaughton raising the white flag.

An emphatic win for the Ruairi’s who have laid down an early marker going into the senior championship.  With plenty of this team involved, they look primed for a senior championship that promises to be a cracker.

St Johns seal final spot with magnificent seven in Hannahstown 

JP Corry U-21 Antrim B Hurling semi final 

Lámh Dhearg 2-5-7-17 St Johns 

Kevin Herron reports from Hannahstown 

ST JOHNS cruised into the final of the U-21 B Hurling Championship with a 7-17-2-5 win over Lámh Dhearg at Hannahstown on Wednesday evening. 

Off the back of their quarter-final derby win over St Pauls and a preliminary round victory over Con Magee’s, the Johnnies headed to Hannahstown full of confidence of booking their place in the decider despite being down in numbers due to holiday commitments. 

For the hosts, it was their first Championship outing, with their quarter final clash against Tir na Nog one of the two quarter finals that was conceded- along with the evening’s other semi final, meaning that Sarsfields were lying in wait for the victors. 

Lámh Dhearg were first to register a score through Adam Murray’s converted free inside of two minutes, but the Johnnies hit the game’s opening goal within sixty-seconds through a Fintan McKinney strike. 

The visitors first point arrived after Calum Fegan-Lappin made an outstanding save to St Johns their second goal and Lewis Rafferty popped over, shortly afterwards Lorcan McCallin combined with Fintan McKinney and he added to his earlier goal with a point. 

An angled Donal Martin point would be his side’s last in ten minutes as St Johns conjured another 2-1 without reply to surge clear. 

Daire King’s shot took a deflection and Lewis Rafferty was on hand to touch the ball home from close range and by the 10th minute a third goal had arrived courtesy of a powerful low drive from Ronan Donnelly to make it 3-2-0-2. 

Donnelly extended his sides with a point after a seven-minute scoreless period, though Lámh Dhearg gave themselves the slightest glimmer of hope when Dylan Fegan turned the ball home from close range from Donal Martin’s cut-back. 

It would be the Lámhs final score of the half as the Johnnies landed five-unanswered scores before the short whistle. 

A converted free from Lewis Rafferty started their late scoring burst, the rest came from play as James Wilson opened his account, goal scorers Donelly and Rafferty further increased their personal tallys and Ollie Gregory added another before the half was out as their side were in comfortable control, leading 3-8-1-2. 

The sides traded early frees through Adam Murray and Lewis Rafferty after the restart though St John’s efficiency showed no signs of letting up. 

Ronan Donnelly laid the ball off to Lorcan McCallin to strike his first score of the evening and Lewis Rafferty then landed his fifth point of the night and third from play. 

Lámh Dhearg scores were few and far between with Donal Martin popping over his second of the evening ahead of two quickfire goals that further stretched the gulf between the sides. 

With a quarter of an hour remaining Ronan Donnelly grabbed his second of the evening with a low bullet of a shot and within 60-seconds Daire King flashed home number five for the Corrigan outfit. 

Back-to-back Lewis Rafferty frees was followed by Rafferty’s second goal of the evening in the 52nd minute and Daire King followed up with his first point of the contest. 

Lámh Dhearg would find scant consolation in the form of a second goal with five minutes to play. 

Adam Murray went low from a free, the ball was partially cleared as far as younger brother Matthew and flashed a fine shot in off the underside of the bar to make it 6-14-2-4. 

60-seconds later and St Johns had claimed their magnificent seven from the spot, with Lewis Rafferty powering home his third goal of proceedings from the spot. 

The sharpshooting Corrigan outfit finished with points from Ronan Donnelly, Fintan McKinney and James Wilson, in reply Adam Murray dropped over the final score of night as St Johns ran out comprehensive 7-17-2-5 winners at the conclusion and will meet Sarsfields in final Wednesday evening after the Paddies received a walkover to the final following St Galls withdrawl. 

LÁMH DHEARG: C Fegan-Lappin, F Clenaghan, R Allingham-Groves, E Kelly, D McConville, T Lee, C Camlin, M Murray (1-0), R Webb, D Quinn, A Murray (0-3, 0-2f), A Brady, D Fegan (1-0), O Lee, D Martin (0-2). SUBS: C Herron for D McConville (36), C Thomspon for E Kelly (47). 

ST JOHNS: J Cunningham, F McElory, M Darragh, D Mervyn, O Quinn, E McGurk, L McCallin (0-1), J Wilson (0-2), F McKinney (1-2), O Gregory (0-1), R Donnelly (2-3), C Darragh, D King (1-1), C McKinney, L Rafferty (3-7, 1-4f). SUBS: D McKenna for O Quinn (44), M McCorry for C McKinney (57).

Dominant Ruairis Progress to U21 Decider

JP Corry U21 Hurling Championship Semi Final 

Cushendall 4-18 Dunloy 2-13 

Tuesday 28 July  

Brendan McTaggart reports from Cushendall 

When Paudie Martin fired Dunloy’s second goal inside the opening five minutes of this semi final, not many could have foreseen what was about to transpire.  Six points down and the visitors seemingly in the mood to run riot, Cushendall showed their character and fought back. 

Their reign as U21 champions continues to the final next Wednesday as they saw off the challenge of the Cuchullains with a masterful display in the midsummer rain on the north coast.  The Ruairi’s dominant, tireless, relentless.   

Two goals in either half from Oisin Woodhouse along with majors from Joseph McLaughlin and a wonder-goal from Fiontan Bradley went some way in determining the outcome of this game. In truth, apart from those opening minutes, the Ruairi’s were too good on the day. 

They did open the scoring despite the fast start from Dunloy.  Joe McNaughton splitting the uprights from distance before Francis McMullan scored the opening goal of the contest.  Collecting the sliotar, he still had work to do but his finish gave Charlie McNaughgton no chance between the sticks. 

The second Cuchullain goal came barely 60 seconds later.  A high ball into the square wasn’t dealt with by the Ruairi’s and Paudie Martin was on hand to punish the error.  The Cuchullains were rampant in those early exchanges but Cushendall soon found their feet in the game. 

Their first goal came in the seventh minute and came at the end of a quite brilliant move involving Fiontan Bradley and Thomas McLaughlin before Woodhouse fired home.  An example of the unselfish nature of this Cushendall attack and it wouldn’t be the last time we would see it in the game. 

Dunloy responded with a trio of unanswered white flags, Oisin McCallin, Francis McMullan and Oisin McCamphill with the scores but they wouldn’tregister another score for 14 minutes as the home side turned the screw. 

Three scores in as many minutes from Fiontan Bradley (one free) came before further scores from Joe McNaughton and Darach Bradley as they restored parity to the scoreline in the 22nd minute. 

Joseph McLaughlin fired Cushendall’s second goal from the penalty spot to give Cushendall the lead once again in the 24th minute, a lead they wouldn’t relinquish for the rest of the semi final. 

A trio of scores from Joseph McLaughlin (2) and Fiontan Bradley came either side of frees from McCallin for Dunloy while Callagh Mooney and Oisin McCamphill swapped points in first half injury time to leave the home side ahead 2-11 to 2-7 at the half way mark. 

Half time couldn’t come quick enough for the Cuchullains who needed to break the momentum Cushendall had built.  They introduced Ollie McClements and Cahir McMullan while moving Oisin McCamphill into the full forward line but Cushendall continued where they left off once the second half began. 

McCallin fired over a brace (one free) in response to a Nicholas McLaughlin point but the visitors wouldn’t register another score while Cushendall effectively put the game to bed in the same period. 

Thomas and Joseph McLaughlin fired over before Woodhouse scored their third major in the 41st minute.  Again, it came at the end of a lightning quick move that saw the Ruairi’s recycle possession and unselfishly find a team mate.  Joe McNaughton and Joseph McLaughlin combining in the build-up for Woodhouse to expertly finish. 

Fiontan Bradley (free) and Oisin McCamphill swapped scores before Bradley scored Cushendall’s fourth goal.  Racing clear of a ruck, the Cushendall star showed power and pace before finishing one handed with a rifled effort to the top corner.  An emphatic score and typical of the type of brilliance we have come accustomed to seeing from Bradley. 

The last ten minutes of the tie saw Dunloy looking for goals but they got no change from a Cushendall defence led superbly by Sean McKay, Conor McCann and Paddy Morgan.  Dunloy would add further points from Paudie Martin (two) and a McCallin free while Cushendall added points from Joe McNaughton (‘65), Thomas McLaughlin and substitute Killian McNaughton to safely see the Ruairi’s through to the decider in eight days time.

Five-star Johnnies see off St Paul’s to reach last four 

JP Corry Antrim U-21 B Hurling Championship, Quarter-final 

St Pauls 1-18-5-12 St Johns 

Kevin Herron reports from Pairc Naomh Pol 

Leading by four goals at the interval, St Johns saw off a spirited second half showing from St Paul’s to make it into the semi finals of the U-21 B Hurling Championship after a 5-12-1-18 victory on the Shaw’s Road on Wednesday evening. 

The Corrigan Park outfit were ruthless from the outset and struck their opening goal of the evening within the first two minutes when Daire King fizzed the ball into the corner where Lewis Rafferty gathered, headed for goal and swept a shot into the corner of the net. 

Oisin McLaren got St Paul’s off the mark with a converted free and both sides traded a glut of scores in the aftermath. 

Tomas Adams converted two frees and Ronan Donnelly added a point from play, in between  the McLaren brothers Sean Og and Oisin replied from play. 

The visitors pulled further clear with Rafferty firing over his first point of the evening and then turning provider for Caolan Wilson to open his account. 

A second converted Oisin McLaren free brought his tally to three, but his side fell further behind in the 12th minute as Caolan Wilson’s shot dropped to the net to make it 2-5-0-4. 

Wilson made it three scores in succession with a further point from play and midway through the half St Johns hit their third goal. 

A driving run from Enda McGurk saw space open for a shot, his initial effort was blocked by Ciaran O’Carroll in the St Paul’s goal, though McGurk was on hand to finish to the net at the second time of asking. 

A further Tomas Adams free made it 2-2 without reply until Cillian O’Neill floated over to briefly halt the visitors momentum. 

Ronan Donnelly added his second point of the half and Oisin McLaren converted an angled free in response. 

With 22 minutes gone the Johnnies had their fourth goal. Daire King flashed in a shot towards goal that O’Carroll partially batted down and Tomas Adams seized the loose ball and swept home to give his side a 4-8-0-6 lead. 

Before the half was out Adams would increase his personal tally, cutting a sideline over the bar, but St Paul’s ended the half with three unanswered points. 

The McLaren brothers were on song from the placed ball with Sean Og landing the first and younger sibling Oisin adding another to his tally, though despite their brief revival their side were on the wrong side of the 4-9-0-9 scoreline at the midway point. 

Upon the second half resumption the sides traded the first two scores through Lewis Rafferty and Sean Og McLaren (free). 

St Pauls looked to be making some inroads with another three unanswered points. Again the McLaren brothers accuracy from frees was keeping them in touch with Sean Og adding another two and Oisin adding another from closer range. 

The visitors’ own placed ball shooter Tomas Adams increased his personal tally in the 39th minute to push the lead into double figures again (4-11-0-13). 

A fantastic Jay Gault driving burst from his own half ended with him swinging over a fine point and a long range Sean Og McLaren free kept St Paul’s faint hopes intact with under a quarter of an hour remaining. 

The tie was put beyond any reasonable doubt with 10-minutes remaining. Caolan Wilson clipped over a point to bring his personal tally to 1-3 and in the 50th minute Lewis Rafferty conjured up his second goal of the night, Rafferty cut inside and powered a shot beyond O’Carroll to make it 5-12-0-15. 

That would prove the Johnnies last score of the contest and St Pauls would rally in the closing stages and half the deficit. 

Oisin McLaren brought his tally from the placed ball to 0-7 and older brother Sean Og landed a further to bring his to 0-6. 

In the 54th minute referee Paul McDonnell awarded St Paul’s a close range free and Sean Og McLaren drilled in a consolation goal that was too late to prove meaningful to the games closing stages. 

The elder McLaren sibling would add another placed ball before the games conclusion but at the final whistle St Johns were more than comfortable set up a semi-final meeting with Lámh Dhearg, who advanced after Tir na Nog conceded their quarter-final clash. 

ST PAULS: C O’Carroll, DR Duffy, O Philips, C O’Neill (0-1), G Cowan, G Maguire, B Burns, J Gault (0-1), O Donnelly. S Burns, B McMorrow, O Cusack, O McLaren (0-8, 0-7f), S Og McLaren (1-8, 1-7f), D Thornbury. SUBS: R Leonard for O Cusack (42), E Brown for G Cowan (53), M Armstrong for D Thornbury (56), B McEvoy for J Gault (60).

JP Corry Under 21 Hurling Championship

Ballycastle 5-19 Rossa 1-13

Pics by David Humphreys Photography

Ballycastle MacUilin secured their place in the semi-finals of the Antrim Under 21 Hurling Championship with a commanding 5-19 to 1-13 victory over O’Donovan Rossa at Pairc MacUilin. Ballycastle exploded out of the blocks from the throw-in, with Conor Donnelly opening the scoring for The Town with a well-taken point. Moments later, the energetic Darragh Kelly burst through the Rossa defence and fired a low shot into the net, giving Ballycastle a dream start. Corey Walsh responded for Rossa, getting the visitors on the board with their opening point. However, Ballycastle’s momentum was uninterrupted. Cousins Conor and Daragh Donnelly added excellent scores, extending the home side’s lead to 1-03 to 0-01 just six minutes into the contest. The pressure continued to mount on the Rossa backline, culminating in a brilliant strike from Matthew Donnelly, who drilled the ball into the corner of the net for Ballycastle’s second goal.

Ballycastle’s dominance was reflected across the pitch as Darragh Kelly utilized his pace to add another point from play, and half-back Oisin Donnelly showcased great transition play, racing forward from defence to slot over a fine point. Daragh Donnelly hit a long-range effort, followed closely by another point from Conor Donnelly. Rossa fought hard to stay in touch before the break, hitting back with a pair of points from Liam McEnhill. The visitors relied on frees from their dead-ball specialist the as McEnhill, who handled these duties, kept the scoreboard ticking over. However scores from Darragh Kelly, Daragh Donnelly, Conor Donnelly, and Cathair Donnelly ensured Ballycastle went into the dressing rooms with a commanding 2-11 to 0-06 lead.

On the restart Ballycastle picked up exactly where they left off in the first half. Conor Donnelly kept the scoreboard ticking with a beautifully struck point from a 65, which was quickly followed by a devastating blow to Rossa’s comeback hopes, as Darragh Kelly found the back of the net for his second goal of the evening. Conor Donnelly then hit a purple patch, rattling off a quick 1-1 to effectively put the game to bed. Darragh Kelly continued to torment the Rossa rearguard, adding two more points either side of a solitary Rossa response. To their credit, Rossa kept fighting until the end, and they were rewarded when Joseph Mulholland breached the Ballycastle defence for a well-deserved goal, bringing a brief spark to the visiting side.

Both teams traded scores as the half progressed, with Cathair Donnelly and Darragh Kelly keeping MacUilin comfortably ahead. Heading into the closing stages, another Darragh Kelly point preceded a clinical finish from Cormac Scanlan, who capitalised on a breaking ball and pulled it to the net to make it 5-18 to 1-13. Fittingly, it was Conor Donnelly who had the final say, splitting the posts with a point from play before the referee’s whistle confirmed a comprehensive 5-19 to 1-13 victory for Ballycastle to set up a semi-final meeting with Glenariffe next Wednesday evening.
