Doheny GAA Notes:- Playing Activity (June)

Junior A Football- Dubliner Cheese Carbery/Beara League Cup- DOHENYS v Kilmeen- Tuesday 08/06/2021

Half-Time Score: - Dohenys 1-4 v 0-7 Kilmeen

Full-Time Score: - Dohenys 1-6 v 0-15 Kilmeen

After the long lay-off due to COVID-19 restrictions, adult playing activity recommenced with the Junior A Footballers kicking off their League campaign with a fixture against neighbours Kilmeen in the Sam Maguire Park. On a damp and dreary June evening, Dohenys were slow to get going and Kilmeen dominated early exchanges. When Dohenys eventually settled mid-way through the first half, they had their best spell of the game playing some very good football. This very good spell of play corresponded with a marked increase in Dohenys work-rate and application of pressure on Kilmeen. Dohenys registered points from Gareth Crowley (2), Ray Jennings and Alan Brickley. The latter from Alan Brickley a great score, side of the boot far out by the hill side. The Doheny goal came after a great team move with Gareth Crowley dispatching the ball to the Kilmeen net. Going into the break, Dohenys were level.

Kilmeen controlled proceedings in the Second Half and were wasteful in front of goal registering a lot of wides. While Dohenys will be disappointed with the second half, they can take a good number of positives from the game. Josh Burke, James Blewett and Adrian Cronin showed extremely well. Aidan O Donovan worked tirelessly constantly being at the centre of good Doheny moves.

Team:- Darren Kelly, Kevin Cotter, Tadhg O’Leary, Adrian Cronin, James Blewitt, Declan Collins, Ciarán Kelleher, Darragh Collins, Gareth Crowley (1-2), Padraig O Mahony, Aidan O’ Donovan, Josh Burke, Alan Crowley, Alan Brickley (0-3, 0-2f), Ray Jennings (0-1f)

Senior A Football- Cork Credit Unions League DOHENYS v Nemo Rangers- Wednesday 09/06/2021

Half Time Score: - 3-7 v 0-4

Full Time Score: - 5-10 v 1-6

The Seniors kicked off their League campaign when Nemo’s second string made the mid-week journey from the City. It is rare to see a weak Nemo selection at any level but Dohenys will be happy with the excellent quality of football displayed. Dohenys opening point was a great team score- showing great patience. Cullan Barry registered the point after a huge number of phases- Dohenys constantly taking stock and taking the right options during the move. Throughout the First Half, the movement of the inside line was impressive and a leggy Nemo struggled to contend with the pace and quick thought of the Doheny attack. Dohenys kicked a number of good points with excellent interlink play. Dohenys were also clinical registering three goals before the half-time whistle. The second of which was buried to the net by Mark Buckley after an excellent cross field pass by Eoin Lavers caught the Nemo full back line napping. Dohenys went into the half time break totally in command of the game and out of sight.

Fionn Herlihy and Mark Buckley added two further goals in the second half. Nemo rarely troubled the Dohenys rear-guard. On one of the only occasions they threatened the Doheny net, Dohenys will be disappointed at the ease to which Nemo created the goal chance. Credit to Darren Kelly in goal who made an outstanding double save. The second of which saw Kelly show excellent agility to flick the rebound away from the onrushing Nemo attacker. Dohenys were delighted with the result and the performance particularly in the First Half.

Team:- Darren Kelly, Barry Donovan, Seán Daly, Donal Rice, Jerry Collins, Eoin Lavers, Jerry McCarthy, Johnny Kelly, Cullan Barry (0-2, 0-1f), Rhys Coakley, Aidan O’ Donovan, Niall Hurley, Fionn Herlihy (3-1), Keith White (0-1), Mark Buckley (2-5, 0-1f)

Junior A Hurling- Dubliner Cheese Carbery Hurling League DOHENYS v St. James’ – Sunday 13/06/2021

Half Time Score: - Dohenys 1-5 v 2-4 St. James’

Full Time Score: - Dohenys 1-13 v 2-12 St. James’

The Junior A Hurlers opened their hurling league campaign with a game against St. James’ in the Sam Maguire Park on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning. In a tight and close game, Dohenys will be happy with some of the good hurling played. St. James’ started the game the better registering two goals before the First Water Break. Credit to Dohenys un-phased by the concessions, they felt their way into the game and knuckled down against a strong full forward, centre forward axis from St. James’. Scores from Jerry McCarthy (0-3), Fionn Herlihy and Ciarán Kelleher settled Dohenys. The wing-back Kelleher’s point being a superb long range effort. Dohenys will be delighted by the great response to the concession of the goals and registered a goal of their own after the water-break. Barry Donovan pulling a hopping ball into the roof of the net after some great work by full-forward James White. Dohenys went in at the break two points down and played some of their best hurling on the resumption. Fionn Herlihy’s strong running being a prominent feature. Herlihy setup Declan Collins for a good point. Jerry Collins capitalised on a poor St. James’ puck-out sailing the sliotar over the bar. While Barry Donovan and Stephie Collins both scored great angled points from the hill side into the Pavilion goal. St. James’ continued to keep the score board ticking over themselves and just about held out to leave Dunmanway with the two league points.

Team:- Ellis Farrell, Jerry Farrell, Adrian Cronin, Cian Cahalane, Noel Collins, Declan Collins (0-1), Ciarán Kelleher (0-1), Jerry Collins (0-1), Jerry McCarthy (0-6, 0-6f), Darren Kelly, Fionn Herlihy (0-2), Darragh Collins, Barry Donovan (1-1), James White, Stephie Collins (0-1)

Junior A Football- Dubliner Cheese Carbery/Beara League Cup DOHENYS v Diarmuid Ó Mathúnas- Sunday 20/06/2021

Half Time Score: - Dohenys 0-3 v 0-6 Mathúnas

Full Time Score: - Dohenys 0-10 v 0-9 Mathúnas

The Doheny Junior A Footballers resumed their League Cup campaign with a good hard-fought win over near neighbours Mathúnas. Darragh Collins, Alan Brickley and Gareth Crowley did the scoring for Dohenys in the First Half. The latter point from Crowley coming from a free after good work by Denis Moran. Dohenys upped their performance considerably in the Second Half. Gareth Crowley scored a great point on the resumption of the game. Kevin Murphy brought on as a Second Half sub made a significant impact.  Shortly after Murphy’s introduction, Dohenys had the ball in the Mathúnas net after a great team move. Unfortunately, the referees whistle sounded and the goal was ruled out and brought back for a free which Alan Brickley converted. The next Doheny score came from Alan Crowley who ably manufactured space kicking a great point. The score at the second water break was 0-7 points apiece with all to play for. The closing exchanges were tight and tense. A feature of the game was the tight and pacey defending demonstrated by Josh Burke. Kevin Cotter, Alan Murray and Declan Collins also defended well. Padraig O Mahony carried a huge amount of ball. While Aidan O’ Donovan linked the play excellently. It was left to Alan Brickley to kick the final and winning point- an outstanding score which sealed the win for Dohenys.

Team: - Darren Kelly, Ciarán Kelleher, Kevin Cotter, Alan Murray, Padraig O’ Mahony, Declan Collins, Josh Burke, Jerry Collins, Darragh Collins (0-1), Gareth Crowley (0-3, 0-2f), Aidan O’Donovan, Daniel McSweeney, Alan Crowley (0-1), Alan Brickley (0-5, 0-2f), Denis Moran

Senior A Football- Cork Credit Unions League Glanworth v DOHENYS- Sunday 27/06/2021

Half-Time Score- Dohenys 1-10 v 1-3 Glanworth

Full-Time Score:- Dohenys 1-17 v 0-7 Glanworth

The Doheny Senior Footballers resumed their League campaign with a long journey to North Cork for a league game on a Sunday afternoon with Glanworth. After a minutes silence due to a local bereavement, Dohenys stormed out of the blocks. Keith White was to the fore having an excellent game scoring 10 points of Dohenys tally (0-7 from frees). White’s pace and movement tormented the Glanworth full back. Dohenys cutely left acres of space inside in the full forward line and it was ten minutes before Glanworth afforded their full back any protection. The damage had been done and Dohenys led 1-5 v 0-0 after 10 minutes. The goal coming from a bullet of a shot by Eoin Lavers following a powerful run and sharp passing by Dohenys. In truth the game was over as a contest as Dohenys had created a strong lead. Due to a Black Card sin- binning and injuries/lack of numbers Glanworth played almost 20 minutes of the game with 14 men. Dohenys know there will be much tougher and sterner tests as the year progresses.

Team:- Stephen Daly, Jerry Farrell, Seán Daly, Barry Donovan, Declan Collins, Donal Rice, Jerry McCarthy, Eoin Lavers (1-1), Cullan Barry, Johnny Kelly (0-1), Aidan O’Donovan, Cathal Daly, Bill Murphy (0-1), Keith White (0-10, 0-7f), Rhys Coakley (0-1)

Subs Used: - Kevin Cotter, Josh Burke, Darragh Collins (0-1), Ray Jennings (0-1), Alan Brickley (0-1), Alan Crowley, Ross Crowley
