Read moreDivision 1 Vs Sandycove
A week on from a hard defeat against North Dublin, the Cú Chulainn first team had a chance to get back on track against Sandycove in Lisburn.
The hard work put in on tactical errors the previous week really paid off in what would end up as a 11-10 win to ourselves.
At times it felt Cú Chulainn would open up a gap on Sandycove, but they kept coming back.
Decky McKerr put in a great performance, scoring 7 but it's fair to say the teamwork happening around the pool gave him the platform to score some fantastic goals. Tom Donnelly chipped in with 2 goals from distance (he's good at that!). Ronan McClean (another fine goal from distance) and Caoimhghin Campfield also got on the score sheet.
Special mention to Nessy for taking a head stagger in the 4th quarter and going for a wee swim with the ball. Some people just want to keep the crowd entertained.
*Fergus Carlin would also like to file an official apology for launching a misplaced pass to the referee during the interval at the scoreboard and the frightened table officials.
New Year - Newish Story
Yeah it was quiet, oh, how about yours?
Yeah quiet, family, the usual.
Then it was the new year and then it was the first weekend of water polo fixtures.
The first team headed to Dublin for a qualifier for the Irish Cup against Sandycove. Win this and a place would be secured. Lose it and it’s another trip to Dublin the next day for a final bite at the apple.
Nothing has been easy this season, so far, for either senior team and things were not about to change. Sandycove running out 15-8 winners. Details of how things went have been hard to come by but going 5 goals down in the first quarter probably tells it’s own story.
Meanwhile in division 3, a blend of youth and whiskey soaked experience took on Athlone; a bottom of the table super clash with both teams looking to register their first points on the season.
This went well, really well with the team coasting to a 18-5 win.
Impressive performances from the juniors who played, all getting on the score sheet.
If Man of the Match awards were handed out, that would go to Emmet Ewing; scored 4 goals. All from distance; all perfectly placed in the corners. But it wasn’t just the goals, he put in a strong performance defensively, putting in solid tackles and interceptions and getting the team moving up the pool.
Well done that manboy.
