SOCCER
Our new season in Division 2A began on Sunday last against Pallasgreen who came out on top. Castle included new signings ex Limerick League of Ireland goalie Eddie Hickey and Neil McLaughlin up front, who slotted home a goal after 5 minutes; however Pallasgreen got 2 before half time. On resumption Pallasgreen scored their third. Castle missed a penalty kick, and we conceded a fourth goal on the stroke of fulltime. This defeat ended our three year unbeaten home league effort, with four of our regular players not available on the day, we are disappointed but can only be positive for future games, with new joint managers Pat Fitzgerald and Damien Malone.
Castle lined out: Eddie Hickey, John McNamara, Nicky Ryan, Derek Kiely, Derek Malone (capt.), Paul Kiely, Mick O’Dwyer, Michael Ryan, Kieran Maloney, Brian O’Riordan, Neil McLaughlin. Subs used: J. Paul Kiely and Barry Hofler.
