This was a brilliant point from a sideline kick from the boot of Thomas O’Rourke, which tied up the game. Shortly after Timmy O’Donoghue was on hand to punch the ball to the back of the net. Another goal followed as Paul Shanahan converted a penalty and Timmy finished off the half with a point from play to leave the Ross boys winning on a score line of 2-2 to 2 points.

Ross had it all to do in the second period as they faced the elements and especially as Sam Maguire’s goaled in the first minute. Timmy pointed a free along with one from play before Paul converted his second spot kick and Ross were looking good as Sean O’Regan had a pointed free. The game was really wrapped up when Timmy punched his second goal and their was no way back for the home side despite scoring four second half points.

Ross will be pleased to be in the final but a big improvement on their first half performance will be needed. In fairness the second period was much better and Michéal O’Donovan came more into the game along with fellow backs Michael Hourihan and Stephen Vickery. Cathal Prendergast too had a fine game while Timmy did most of the scoring, Gearóid O’Brien did a lot of hard work and the return of Terry O’Donovan after suspension should further strengthen the forwards.

The final will be probably be played on the 14^th of November against either Youghal or Millstreet at a venue to be decided.

Team: Donal Dignan, Damien O’Brien, Michéal O’Donovan, Michael Hourihane, Stephen Vickery, David Flavin, Eamonn O’Mahony, Cathal Prendergast, Thomas O’Rourke, Gearóid O’Brien, Sean O’Regan, Tadgh O’Mahony, Brian Hodnett, Timmy O’Donoghue, Paul Shanahan. Subs: Brian Hayes, Vincent Hodnett and Cian O’Mahony.

Carbery Rangers senior footballers were crowned league champions when they defeated county champions and near neighbours Clonakilty in the final of the Kelleher Shield, played in Dunmanway last Sunday. The Ross men had to field without three of their championship starting team, and the loss of competitive action over the past few months was expected to give the edge to their opponents, who are still involved in the Munster championship after their recent county championship success.

It was Clon who scored first but that lead only lasted for a short while before Declan Hayes and John O’Rourke combined to put Seamus Hayes through for a brilliant goal and Ross were never to be led again as they dominated proceedings for the remainder of the half. Indeed they were also unlucky not to score a couple of more goals as they pushed forward. At the other end Maurice Moloney was in superb form stopping a penalty and another point blank save to deny the Clon men a way back into the game. Ross led at the break by 1-05 to 2 points thanks to points from Seamus (3) Michael Mennis (1) and Johnny Murphy (1).

In the second period the county champions fought their way back into contention and reduced the lead down to 2 points. Ross picked it up again and second half scores from John Hayes (3) and Brian Shanahan (1) put them ahead at the final whistle on a score line of 1-09 to 9 points. This was Carbery Rangers first competitive senior final victory since joining the senior ranks and was a tremendous achievement for the club, holding the current county champions to a single point from play in the process. The Kelleher Shield Trophy was presented to team captain Seamus Hayes by county board Represintive James O’Neill after the game. Seamus thanked his fellow players and panellists for the amount of work they put in, also to the selectors Johnny Murphy, Mick Connolly, Jeremy Murphy and the Carbery Rangers officers and backroom team before wishing Clonakilty the best of luck in their quest for further honours in the Munster championship.

Rosscarbery under 16 footballers advanced further in the championship with a comfortable win over Passage on Saturday last in a game played in Newtown . Ross did most of the good work in the first half and thanks to two late goals from Damien O’Brien and Terry O’Donovan, Ross were in control at the break on a score of 2-06 to 3 points. The second half was a scrappy affair with both teams content with playing out the remaining time just adding 3 points each and the dismissal of a player from each side on the stroke of full time was unnecessary and will be a source of disappointment to the home side as they continue their journey this Saturday against Dunmanway in Clonakilty, at 3pm in the county semi final.

Congratulations to Gabriel O’Driscoll Reenascreena who won the club lotto jackpot prize of €3600 last week. The numbers drawn were 11, 12 and 13, next week the jackpot prize is €1000 and the draw takes place in O’Brien’s Bar

Carbery Rangers U16 footballers made the short journey to Clonakilty’s impressive pavilion at Ahamilla on Saturday last, to take on Sam-Maguire’s in the West Cork Final. Both teams were slow to get started as scores were hard got, with Ross leading by 6 points to 2 points. Thanks mostly goes to the accurate free taking of Sean O’Regan and the strong play of David Flavin and Cathal Prendergast. A miss-directed free out of Rosscarbery’s defence left Sam’s in for an opportunist goal on the stroke of half time. Ross turned to play with the sun and slight wind to their backs, but it was Sam’s who took the game to Ross. Quickly equalising and then taking the lead for the first time, ten minutes into the second half. Ross dug deep and excellent play by Michael Hourihane, Thomas O’Rourke and Gearoid O’Brien drove Ross forward. Soon the teams were level. A goal and two points were soon to follow from the boot of the hard-working Terry O’Donovan which gave Ross a great boost. Ross were five points up with seven minutes to go, when Sam’s struck for goal to set up a grand stand finish. Once again Ross dug deep and hung on with two late pointed frees by Sean O’Regan. This left the final score: Carbery Rangers 1-13 to Sam Maguire’s 2-6.

This was a welcomed victory for the Rangers as under age championships have eluded the club recently. Well done to all involved with the team. The cup was presented to a Jubilant Ross captain, Michéal O’Donovan by Board na nÓg secretary Eddie Moloney. Ross now play the city winners next weekend in Ross. Scorers for Ross: Sean O’Regan 0-6, Timmy O’Donoghue 0-3, Terry O’Donovan 1-2, Paul Shanahan and Gearoid O’Brien 1 point each. Panel: Dónal Dignan, Damien O’Brien, Michéal O’Donovan, Michael Hourihane, Stephen Vickery, David Flavin, Eamonn O’Mahony, Thomas O’Rourke, Cathal Prendergast, Terry O’Donovan, Gearoid O’Brien, Sean O’Regan, Timmy O’Donoghue, Paul Shanahan, Brian Hayes, Tadgh O’Mahony, Brian Hodnett, Vincent Hodnett, Cian O’Mahony, Patrick McCarthy, Matt O’Brien and James O’Neill.

Ross minor footballers bowed out of the championship at the semi-final stage on Saturday last when they were defeated by Bantry on a score line of 10 points to 6. Ross were slow to settle and were three points down after 10 minutes, which left them chasing the game from early on. Things didn’t improve in the remainder of the half and Ross were down 7 points to 2 at the break. Ross played much better in the second period and had the lead down to 2 mid way through. But the loss of John O’Rourke through suspension took its toll and though having good possession Ross found it hard to score. Team: Paul Shanahan, Alan O’Regan, Michéal O’Donovan, David Flavin, Bobby Kelly, Conor O’Rourke, Gearóid O’Brien, Ian Ronan, Peter Nagle, Padraig Hicks, Ronan Milner,Eoin Lane, Terry O’Donovan, Sean O’Neill, Christopher O’Donovan.

Ross were playing well in the first half and were in control until Skibb struck for a goal after on the quarter hour mark and took a two point lead at the break. Ross trailed by five points with 10 minutes remaining when Peter Nagle found the back of the net with a blistering shot to bring Ross right back into contention and were level three minutes later, as they mounted a spirited fight back.

After a close encounter Ross won on a score of 1-01 to 1 point. The backs played really well in this encounter with Danny Reynolds putting in a top class performance in the back line and John Hodnett in goal was superb. Adam O’Mahony was very impressive while Adam Barrett finished the all important goal with Jack O’Donoghue getting the point. It was off to Timoleague for the semi final next against Kilbrittain and once again Ross came out on top with Ciaran Prendergast and Cathal O’Rourke getting 2 goals each.

The replay of the Rosscarbery versus Kilbree game in the under 12 hurling championship went ahead in Ardfield on Monday evening last. Both sides put up a good show in the first half under extreme weather conditions with wind rain and fog making it difficult and the sides were level at the break when the referee called off the game as the rain got worse. And so they will have to meet for a third time to get a result.

The Carbery Rangers senior team played their final league game of the season on Saturday evening when they recorded a good victory over Glenville on a score of 2-14 to 1-09.

Our under 16 hurlers were in championship action last week against Ahan Gaels in Rossmore and were narrowly defeated by 4-10 to 4-08. Ross trailed at one stage in the second half by 11 points and put up a really great show in the final 20 minutes coming within a whisker of victory as the final effort grazed the post in the dying seconds, an effort that would have given them the victory, but it was not to be and so ended their championship hopes for another year. Team: Paul Shanahan, Gearóid O’Brien, Cathal Prendergast, Kieran O’Sullivan, Eamonn O’Mahony, Ruben O’Hea, Michéal O’Donovan, Terry O’Donovan, Timmy O’Donoghue, Thomas O’Rourke, David Flavin, Cian O’Mahony, Conor O’Brien, Daniel Hodnett, Brian Hayes.

The junior d team played Muintir Bhaire on Saturday evening in Durrus and were defeated by 9 points to 5. The result was disappointing as Ross had played a few recent league matches and had got good results. The scoring was low and it took a quarter of an hour before the first score was registered by half time the Rangers were trailing 5 points to 2 and a big effort was required in the heavy surface as the rain poured down. Ross did not score until the last 10 minutes and at this stage they trailed 9 points to 2. Despite scoring 3 on the trot it was too little to late and so they bowed out of the championship for another season. Team: Roy Hawkins, Niall Fitzpatrick, Jeremy Murphy, Padraig O’Donovan, Eoin Milner, Michael Walsh, Peter Nagle, Gerard Flavin, Sam Dignan, Brendan Canty, Ronan Milner, Eoin Lane , Raymond Hayes, Philip Moore, Colm Milner.

Ross played with a strong wind in the first half with a nice lead of 3-5 to 0-1. Dunmanway with the wind in the second half played well but were unlucky to see their shots go narrowly wide on 3 or 4 occasions. Ross broke up the field to score a few nice points as well as a goal and came out winners on this occasion. It was a great team performance and this team are improving in every game.
