CASTLEVIEW COLTS:
The youths team made it a season to remember for the progressive Castleview
club when they captured the title in AUL Division Two. They scored 85 league
goals, conceded just 21, and were undefeated in the campaign which saw them
see off major challenges from Mallow Celtic, Leeside, Ballincollig, and
Springfield.
Rodney Power played like a product of the old school of centreforwards as the
collected 34 goals in 31 outings. Rodney is one for the future.
But it was, of course, a team effort. Keeper Martin Collins played a major
role and the club will miss him when the new season commences as he has taken
up an apprenticeship in Germany.
Ken Trindles and Paul Donovan shut out the opposition and sent accurate passes
forward for Power, Mark Daly (14), Jason McGillacuddy (7), and Barry Babington
(10), to capitalise on. Paul Smith, Paul McCarthy, and Ken Kiely were trojan
workers, ably assisted by Pat Cooney and Damien O'Sullivan.
Fifteen players were used during the campaign and each was a credit to the
club and to their mentors: Deccie Meehan, William Singleton, Pat Lehane, and
Pat Kelleher. Kelleher is now with the UN peace-keeping forces in the Lebanon
and the club, especially the minor champions, wish him all the best.
The panel: Martin Collins, Gavin Lawless, Patrick Cooney, Damien
O'Sullivan, Kenneth Trindles, Paul O'Donovan, Mark Daly, Paul Smith, Paul
McCarthy, Kenneth Kiely, Barry Babington, Rodney Power, Jason McGillacuddy,
Derek Daniels, and Keith Lynch.
