them a 1 - 6 to 1 - 5 interval lead.
Douglas started the second half in fine fashion with four well
taken points. By the 15th minute Douglas were in a very
commanding position following another well taken goal by Damien
McNamara. Fergal O’Sullivan’s free taking was excellent
- in all he contributed 0 - 5 from free’s . Ballincollig
scored 1 - 1 in the closing four minutes. Final score Douglas 2 -
11 Ballincollig 2 - 6 . Others to impress for Douglas were Ml.

five minutes, the scorer was Kenny Barry. At the end of the first

break. Douglas led 1 - 4 to 1 - 3 at the break. Douglas raised
the level of their game after the break.

COLLEGE CORINTIANS AFC
Our Under 12 Premier Division side maintained
their 100% record when they proved much too strong for Rockmount.
Playing with a strong wind in the first half they quickly got on
top and goals by James Malone (2), Mark Murphy, Darren Fogarty
and Shane Horgan saw them 5-0 ahead at the break. Rockmount to
their credit battled hard in the second half but tired near the
end and conceded three further goals with Shane Horgan and Mark
Murphy scoring their second of the match and David Kearney
completing the scoring. Ian Cullinane, Eoin Cotter, Alan Barry
and Ricky Kenny were the pick of the Corinthians side. Our Under
14's after a difficult week put up a very brave performance
against Douglas Hall before going down 2-1. Two down at half time
they reduced the arrears when Gary Drennan was on hand to knock
home the rebound after a fine strike by Alan O'Dwyer, but as hard
as they tried they just could not force an equaliser. Second half
substitute Richard Arnopp deserves special mention for a gutsy
performance. Our Under 12 second string Douglas Corinthians
suffered their first defeat of the season when they went down 5-2
to Clonakilty. Patrick McCarthy and Aidan Lehane were on the
scoresheet for Corinthians while Frank Carley, Barry Ronayne and
Ronan O'Murachu played well.

DOUGLAS HALL AFC
Last weekend had a very restricted fixture list,
with only two matches involving club teams taking place. For a
variety of reasons, only the Under 14's and AUL Juniors were in
action.
The AUL Juniors travelled and found Dunbar Celtic too hot to
handle in the FAI Junior Cup. Indeed, the final result, a 6-1
defeat, was flattering in the extreme to Dunbar. That being said,
they were the better team on the day, and despite good
performances from Stephen Carroll and Cormac Cahill, we were well
beaten. The goal scorer was Willie Murphy.
The Under 14's also travelled - this time the short journey to
College Corinthians for their league match. After a terrific
game, the 'Hall emerged 2-1 winners. Top performers for the 'Hall
were Seamus Long and Graham Coughlan, with the goals scored in
the first half by Stephen Barry and Mark Harrington. The 2-0 half
time lead just proved enough, given the
strong wind blowing straight down the field. This gets the 14's
league campaign back on the rails - proving that with a full
side, they are a match for anyone.

GRANGE VALE AFC
F.A.I. Junior
Cup
Grange Vale 1 - 3 Glenvale
We went out of the FAI Junior Cup on Sunday going down to Premier
opposition Glenvale by 3 goals to 1. They took the lead after 10
minutes, we equalised in the 78 minute, John Kenneally scored.
However, our defence failed to clear the ball and they got a
second goal. With time running out they got their third goal.
Best for range Vale were Alan Hegarty, Ray O’Mahony and
Seamus James O’Callaghan.
We would like to thank T.S.B. Bank who sponsored the match..

NEPTUNE UNBEATEN
After two games in the ESB SuperLeague, Neptune remain
unbeaten. After a home victory over Glare Jets, Neptune travelled
to Killester last weekend for what was sure to be the best tie of
the weekend. Killester started strongly, getting second chance
baskets from offensive rebounds. Neptune trailed by nine at one
stage in the second quarter and cut the deficit six at the half
time break. Neptune started the third quarted with an amazing
defensive display. Ricardo Leonard and Rasuel Mc Kune went to
work inside and scored some important points. Early in the fourth
quarter Neptune took a five point lead and went on to stretch it
to win by ten in the end. Newly returned Stephen McCarthy and
Douglas man David Downey played key roles in the closing minutes,
each making very important free throws as the game wound down.
Neptune face Dungannon in Neptune Stadium on Saturday night at
800pm. A big crowd is expected as Neptune strive to maintain
their unbeaten record. On Sunday Neptune travel to Waterford to
play league runners-up Waterford Crystal. Although confident of a
win, this promises to be another tough game for Neptune.
Fixtures
Neptune v. Dungannon, Neptune Stadium, Saturday 16th, 8.00pm
