CHARLESTOWN ATHLETIC FOOTBALL CLUB

CHARLESTOWN ATHLETIC FOOTBALL CLUB WAS FOUNDED IN 1990, AND AFTER A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS AFTER HAVING TRIED THE EXPERIENCE OF RENTING GROUNDS OUTSIDE THE TOWN - DOHERTY'S FIELD IN TAMPLE,BURKE'S FIELD IN CURRY AND A PITCH IN LOWPARK AT THE BACK OF FR. O'HARA PARK,CHARLESTOWN ATHLETIC YOUTHS DECIDED AT THAT STAGE TO PURCHASE A GROUND, THE JUNIOR TEAM WERE INVITED TO COME ON BOARD TO ASSIST IN ITS PURCHASE.

THE PITCH WAS FINALLY PURCHASED IN 1992 WITH THE MONIES OF JOHNNY FINN,BARRY MALONEY,JIMMY MARREN AND JOHN TOWEY R.I.P.A COMMITTEE WAS FORMED, WHICH AT THE TIME WAS LARGELY DRAWN FROM THE YOUTHS AND JUNIOR TEAMS TO HELP REPAY THE LOAN AND DEVELOP THE GROUND TO WHAT IT IS TODAY. JUST LIKE THE 'FOGGY BOGGY' AIRPORT IN KNOCK WHICH HAS PROVED THE CRITICS WRONG,THE SAME WAS SAID OF THE CLUB'S PURCHASE BY SOME LOCALS WHO SAID 'YOU CANNOT TURN A SWAMP IN TO A PITCH', AND 'YOU WILL NEVER SEE FOOTBALL PLAYED THERE', THESE REMARKS HAVE ALL SINCE BEEN PROVED WRONG.

WITH THE AID OF A 'TEN POUND LIMITED TICKET DRAW'

BALLYHEANE  0

Charlestown Athletic FC ran out easy winners of  the Westaro Cup final played at Milebush against an injury hit Ballyheane side.Enda Casey opened the scoring on 23 minutes when dermot higgins easily beat Joe Redmond in the centre.Higgins turned provider for Casey whose right boot volley gave Sean Fahey no chance.Ballyheane had an opportunity to grab the equaliser but were denied by the alert and astute Charlestown goalkeeper Neil O'Connor, another opportunity Ballyheane had before the half-time interval was from aBrian Donnelly free-kick that looked goal bound but harmlessly sailed wide.Charlestown, in the scond hal;f took the game,following a couple of half chances Jonathan Caulfield broke up the left wing,and cut the ball inside to Aiden Higgins.His first touch was super,marginally knocking it ahead.One step further and he let fly with a daisy cutter leaving Fahey sitting on his rear.This saw the Ballyheane become dejected,they attempted a response when Joe Redmond broke loose down the right flank and found Kieran Lally outside the box,his chip was a frail attempt and was no threat to the Charlestown keeper.The contest was sealed through the opportunism of substitute Colm Horkan.From a throw-in Donal hely put pressure on the Ballyheane goal,the defence effecting something of a half clearance.Reacting faster than anyone else,Horkan outpaced the Ballyheane keeper who found himself in no man's land,and slided the ball into an empty net.From then the 73rd minute,virtually everyone was waiting for the final whistle except Charlestown substitute Ollie Conway.One of the outstanding players on the day Aiden Higgins,set up a lively Conway to put the final nail in the Ballyheane game coffin.Charlestown proved through every player in Milebush, that when at full strength, they are the best side in the County.TEAM: Neil O'Connor,Paul Mulligan,Fergus Marren,Kevin Duignan(Captain),Padraig Horkan,Jonathan Caulfield,Donal Healy,Aiden Higgins,Enda Casey,Ollie Conway,Andrew Callaghan,Kieran O'Connell,Sean Leneghan,Colm Horkan.

TEMPLE UNITED 2

CHARLESTOWN ATHLETIC FC 2

TEMPLE UNITED WON 5-3 ON PENALTIES

And so it all came to an end on a windy sunday afternoon in cork when Charlestown's glorious run to the last eight in Ireland was halted in that cruelest of fashions: the dreaded penalty shoot-out.Just three minutes of normal time remained and Charlestown were protecting their 2-1 advantage when the Temple player James Callis,poached a most unlikely equaliser.It was such a harrowing blow for Charlestown who did so well to maintain their composure in extra-time and force the game into penalties in which Temple converted all their spot-kicks. the home team would not have argued had Charlestown went home with the spoils.They overcame the shock of conceding a goal after three minutes to bounce back with the quality of football that they have been displaying all season.But they were cursing their luck.Chances were created and not taken.The Temple 'keeper,Martin O'Mahony,also denied Charlestown with saves of the highest quality.However,the biggest blow to Charlestown came when they lost their own goalkeeper,Paddy Brehony,with a serious leg injury after 70 minutes.After the early concession Charlestown went on to dominate the rest of the half,Team captain,Enda Casey,was marvellous alongside the imperious Brendan Towey in midfield with his tackling and passing.Either side of him Alan Mulligan and Padraig Horkan probed throughout while the back four of Trevor Maloney,Kevin Duignan,Stephen Costello and Fergus Marren were all magnificent.Up front Brian O'Connell and Matt Kilroy never let the home defence settle and the latter scored a marvellous secong goal from a free-kick.For all their dominance Charlestown had to wait until the last moments of the first half for the equaliser.A superb volleyed effort from Towey was at the root of it.His effort,which looked to be going inside the post,was tipped away for a corner by O'Mahony and from the resultant dead-ball Enda Casey rose highest to head home the leveller.Despite playing into the wind in the second half it was Charlestown who played all the football.Marren and Duignan controlled the defence and Casey and Towey were the playmakers in midfield.It was against such a background that Charlestown took the lead on 63 minutes.Temple United conceded a free-kick outside their own penalty area and Matt Kilroy curled it beautifully over the wall and just under the cross-bar.It was a marvellous moment and was just reward for the Charlestown effort.There were further chances for the away side to increase their lead and they were made pay three minutes from time when Collind equalised.Extra time produced no further goals and it took a penalty shoot out to decide the game.Stephen Costello,Fergus Marren and Padraig horkan converted three of the Charlestown kicks but the important penalty was scored by Alan O'Brien for Temple.TEAM:Paddy Brehony,Trevor Maloney,Fergus Marren,Kevin Duignan,Stephen Costello,Alan Mulligan,Brendan Towey,Enda Casey,Padraig Horkan,Brian O'Connell,Matt Kilroy,Stephen Finn

FINN HARPS  1

 AFTER EXTRA TIME AT BELLAGHY PARK

Charlestown Athletic's capacity for upsetting the odds appears to have boundless when they defeated National League side Finn Harps in the third round replay of the FAI Youth CupThe East-Mayo side,which lost a two-goal l;ead in the closing stages of the drawn tie at Ballybofet five weeks earlier,made no mistakes the second time round on their home patch,despite playing to their full potential.They were forced to come from behind before completing one of the most famous victories in the club's history.Although Charlestown's win was achieved on team effort,three players exercised particularly influential roles,Kevin duignan,converted from a full-back to central defensive role,did a tremendous job in keeping Harp's front man JP Gallagher,under wraps.More inmportantly,he executed the winning goal two minutes into the second period of extra time.Enda Casey a strong running midfielder,spearheaded the Charlestown revival with the side's equalising goal,while goalkeeper Paddy Brehony produced a critical save in the dying moments of normal time.Charlestown will now play Inishowen League side,Fanad United,in the next round of the series at Bellaghy on saturday Februaru 6th.But things had not looked good for the home side when Harps,a semi-professional outfit,appeared poised to take command of the match in the 69th minute when they broke the deadlock following a spell of torrid pressure.Charlestown goalkeeper Paddy Brehony failed to hold a cross from the left by Spephen O'Donnell,and Gavin Mackey reacted swiftest of all to direct the ball into the net.But the setback stung Charlestown,backed by a vociferous local crowd,into action.Powerful central defender Fergus Marren went close to snatching an equaliser in an almighty goalmouth scramble which resulted in him sustaining an injury.Enda Casey,becoming more prominent as the game wore on,was denied by goalkeeper Gavin Cullen following a brilliant cross by the pacey Brian O'Connell.Charlestown were rewarded for their patience and perseverance with five minutes remaining when Casey powered an expertly delivered Kevin Duignan cross into the Harps netThere was an anxious moment for Charlestown just before the end of normal time when harps attacker JP Gallagher struck an outstanding headed effort on target.But Charlestown goalkeeper Brehony made glorious amends for his earlier mistake by palming the ball spectacularly over the cross bar.Charlestown's match-winning goal,scored in the second period of extra time,will live long in the memory of those that had the pleasure of witnessing it.Centre-half Kevin Duignan unleashed a stunning drive from 25 yards which left the Harps goalkeeper with no chance and had the Charlestown supporters dancing on the sidelines.Great credit must go to the three substitutes Trevor Maloney,Martin Taylor and Paul Mulligan,who made an immediate impact when introduced to a heavy pitch.The result represented a tremendous boost for youth football in Mayo,and hopes are high of charlestown advancin further in the competition.TEAM: P Brehony,A Callaghan,K Duignan,F Marren,S Costello,E Casey,P Horkan,M Kilroy,B Towey,A Mulligan,B O'Connell,T Maloney,P Mulligan,M Taylor.
