Cardinal O'Donnell Cup 08/05/10
Fr. McEvoy Park

Cooley remain pointless at the foot of division 1 after Saturday evenings defeat at the hands of Mattock Rangers. The Kickhams will surely be wondering how they let this game slip from their grasp after dominating the entire first half yet turning over all square at 0-7 to 1-4.The home team started brightly scoring 3points inside the first ten minutes and playing some nice football in the process, however they were caught with a sucker punch when Mattock scored a goal on the counter. This score seemed to spur the home side on as they again took command on the scoreboard, but they were to rue two gilt edged goal chances when Neill Gallagher popped up on the end of two good moves to firstly blast one over the bar & the second chance came crashing back off the crossbar.

Mattock finished the half in a flurry with 3 points in as many minutes with two of them coming in injury time. A few positional switches by the Collon men ensured the second half was more evenly balanced in possession terms. Throughout this half it was score for score and with the game entering its final minutes Cooley held a one point lead and looked like they would go on to win. This was not to be the outcome as Mattock added 3 very late points to stay top of the division. The Kickhams will be glad to see Sean O'Neill back in the colours as this was Sean's first outing for the Club this season.Best for Cooley were Brian White who put in a good performance in midfield & Frank Murphy gave a sound display in defence.

Cardinal O' Donnell 29/04/10
Clan na Gael Park

Cooley Kickhams remain pointless after two rounds of the Senior league after suffering a second defeat at the hands of Clan na Gaels in Dundalk. The decisive score came in the first half in the form of a Clans goal and helped them to a lead of 1-5 to 0-7. This was a typical Cooley-Clans clash which was riddled with frees throughout with half of the total scores coming from free kicks. The match would be best described as poor fare although the Clans will feel happy with their start to the league. Tommy McEntaggart was the referee and was certainly kept busy as some of the tackles put in were over zealous. The second half continued with the Clans in the ascendancy scoring two quick points to assume control.

From that point on the teams traded points and late in the game it looked like Brian White had rescued a share of the spoils for the Kickhams, however the hosts finished the game in a flurry with three poined frees to win on a scoreline of 1-11 to 0-12. The Kickhams won't be pressing any alarm buttons just yet as they were short a number of regulars for this encounter.

Cooley mentors are extremely annoyed at having lost another player to a serious injury. Keith White suffered a serious facial injury in an off the ball incident and had to be removed to hospital where he is receiving treatment for a broken jaw. The news on the young player who had recently joined the Louth panel is not good as he will be out of action for at least 3 months.

Junior 4A league played in Fr.McEvoy Park. Kickhams Junior A team had a comfortable win over St. Josephs in the league to move up the table. Cooley lead at half time by 1-6 to 1-2 and the final score was 2-11 to 1-5 in favour of the green & golds.

The team lined out as follows:
1 Simon Dullaghan 2 Ross Dullaghan 3 Antoin Watters 4 Peter Murphy 5 Frank Murphy 6 P.J.McGivern 7 Eddie Moley 8 Anthony White(0-1) 9 Patrick Sheelan(1-1f) 10 Cormac Watters(0-1) 11 M.J.

Cooley Kickhams remain unbeaten in the Paddy Sheelan cup after inflicting a heavy defeat on the Geraldines in McGeough Park. The Gers opened smartly with the first two scores of the game and throughout the first half the game was evenly balanced. The half finished with the Gers leading on a scoreline of 0-5 to 0-4 giving no indication of a second half collapse from them.

Cooley started the second half in whirlwind fashion and within 5 minutes they had tacked on 1-3 without reply. The goal certainly seemed to knock the heart out of this young Geraldines team as they failed to score for the remainder of the game. Indeed Cooley were to finish with a score of 1-15 with Gavin Long most impressive playing at wing forward and scoring 6 points from play. Conor McGuinness gave an accomplished performance at midfield and Richard Brennan covered a lot of ground although wearing the no 14.

Sheelan cup in Monasterboice
An entertaining game played at a bitterly cold Monasterboice ended with honours even. Kevin Levins refereed the match and allowed it to flow which added to the enjoyment for the spectators that braved the elements. The first half was tit for tat in the scoring department and indeed in the possession stakes as well with the difference being the well taken goal scored by Cooley's corner forward Sean McDonald. The half ended with the Kickhams leading on a scoreline of 1-6 to 0-6. The second half continued in the same vein as the first with score for score and with the game entering its closing stages it looked like Cooley's first half major was going to remain the difference. However the Mairtin's best forward on view J.P. Rooney popped up on the end of a good team move to blast the ball to the back of the Cooley net and give his side a one point lead with 3 minutes remaining. This certainly seemd to be a winning score as the Kickhams applied pressure to no avail in search of an equaliser and the Mairtin's certainly passed up a gilt edged chance to put the match away when shooting wide. The Kickhams were not to be denied as Sean McDonald popped up with a fine and arguably the point of the match from play in injury time. On the resulting kick out the long whistle went and both teams would be happy to have annexed the draw. Keith White gave another fine display in midfield, although the Mairtins probably shaded it in this area. In defence Conor McGuinness was Cooley's best defender and up front Sean McDonald took the accolades ably assisted by Aoghain McGuinness.
