G.A.A CLUB NOTES
DATE: 22nd April 2024
DIVISION 3 FOOTBALL LEAGUE RD 3
At the third time of asking Raheen
Intermediate Footballers got their first point of the year as they got a draw
against Tullamore in Rd 3 of the Div 3 League last Friday evening in O’Brien
Pk, Tullamore on a scoreline of 1-05 to 0-08. Tullamore were first off the mark
with a point inside the first minute with the next score not coming until the
14th minute as Raheen opened their account with their first point from Brian
Crombie. Tullamore then scored 3 points in a row over the remainder of the half
with the last one being given despite many in the ground believing it had gone wide.
This saw Tullamore leading at the break by 0-04 to 0-01. Raheen improved in the
second half firstly half scoring 2 points by the 8th minute from Adam Kelly and
Kaelyn Thompson to cut the deficit to the minimum. This is how it remained
until the 21st minute when a moment of brilliance saw Raheen take the lead for
the first time when a high ball in from the right wing was caught by Kaelyn
Thompson on the right edge of the square and he weaved his way over to the left
edge of the square before lobbing a shot over the shoulder of the keeper into
the top right corner of the net for what would prove to be the only goal of the
game. Tullamore hit back with 2 points over the next 3 minutes to draw level.
Then in the time remaining Raheen twice re-took the lead with points from Jack
Keogh and Kaelyn Thompson but on both occasions, Tullamore drew level with
points of their own so at the final whistle both sides had to settle for the
draw.

DIVISION 5 FOOTBALL LEAGUE RD 3
Raheen Junior Footballers made it 2
wins out of 2 in their games played coming out on top against Erin Rovers in Rd
3 of the Div 5 League last Sunday morning in Pullough in a high scoring encounter
on a scoreline of 4-06 to 2-11 in a game played in glorious summer
sunshine a complete contrast to the
meeting of the same sides in the Div 3 League just 10 days previously. Erin
Rovers hit the ground running from the throw in as they opened the scoring with
the first 3 points inside the opening 3 minutes. Raheen then found their feet
to get going as they opened their account scoring 6 points in a row by the mid-point
of the half to take the lead. The sides then added 3 points apiece over the
next 10 minutes with the Pullough men then getting the final 2 points of the
half so at the break it was Raheen leading by just the minimum 0-09 to 0-08.
Raheen doubled their lead adding 3 points to Erin Rovers 2 inside the opening
10 minutes of the second half. Then in the 11th minute Raheen struck for their
first goal when a shot in from the right corner was caught by Lee Mulepeter at
the left post where his shot rebounded off the crossbar back out to the well
positioned Cein Gorman who flicked it to the net. Raheen added a point before
being awarded a penalty on the midpoint of the half for a foul on Aidan Pierce
which Lee Mulpeter fired to the net for goal no 2. Cein Gorman then added a
point followed by his second and Raheen’s third goal in the 20th minute to
bring the lead out to 13 points. Erin Rovers were awarded a penalty of their
own in the 21st minutes which they dispatched to the net. Raheen responded with
a point from Aidan Pierce who then gave the pass for Lee Mulpeter to strike for
his 2nd and Raheen’s 4th goal in the 25th minute. The sides completed their
tally with the final 1 point apiece with the scorer of the final Raheen point
Oisin Henchy also being the scorer of their first of the game.
