2010 All Ireland medal winner Ciáran Sheehan calls time on Inter-County career

2010 All-Ireland medal winner Ciáran Sheehan has announced his retirement from Inter-County football. The Éire Óg man played both Hurling and Football for Cork at underage level. In 2009 Ciáran won a All-Ireland Under 21 medal when Cork defeated Down.  In  2010 it was again Down who provided the opposition as Cork emerged 1 point winners as the Sam Maguire returned to Cork for the first time in 20 years. In 2011 Ciáran won his second National Football when Cork defeated Dublin in the final. In November 2013 Ciáran signed for Australian Rules team Carlton. He played for Ireland against Australia in the 2013 International Rules Series. In Christmas 2019 Ciáran returned to the Cork Senior Football team and played with Cork in 2020 season while also playing in the 2021 National Football League.
County Board Chairman Marc Sheehan acknowledged the enormous contribution of Ciarán to Cork football over the past fifteen plus years and in particular his pivotal role as a member of the Senior All Ireland winning team of 2010.
“Ciarán’s intercounty career has been cut short and previously interrupted by injury however this does not in any way diminish his talent and the dynamic edge that his play brought to each game.
Ciarán comes from a family steeped in the GAA and his club Éire Óg is rightly proud of his contribution to Cork and I have no doubt the club will be eagerly looking forward to his return to the club scene in the not too distant future.
Ciarán is without doubt one of the modern games’ role models and his unassuming manner and ever pleasant and affable demeanour sets him apart. I wish him a speedy recovery form his recent injury and salute his endeavours.”
Cork GAA CEO Kevin O’ Donovan said ” “While it is sad that Ciarán’s days on the red jersey are over, he can rest assured that he packed plenty into his short stints with the county, at both ends of his career. An underage star in both codes, he was the final piece in the jigsaw that was the 2010 All Ireland winning team and on his return from Australia, his experience and leadership skills has helped a new generation of Cork footballers emerge. Indeed, following Éire Óg’s progression to the Premier Senior ranks recently, we expect that these attributes will bear even more fruit and we look forward to seeing him line out in his club colours in the years to come.”

 

Glory for Lough Rovers: City side lift the Junior C county crown again.

Lough Rovers 2-13 Freemount 1-6

A superb second-half display from Lough Rovers ensured they won the 2020 Bon Secours Junior C County football championship following a comfortable win over Freemount at Pairc Ui Rinn yesterday.

The Seandún side were winning their second county in this grade following their victory over St John’s in 2017.

Founded in 1928 this is their 93rd year competing in the GAA and it was evident at the final whistle their appetite for winning is still alive and well.

The opening exchanges were sluggish with both teams struggling in the shooting and passing departments before the city side took the lead with well-taken Gavin Corcoran point that was added to by a Jason Keegan white flag.

After looking nervous Freemount settled into their stride and a Michael O’Callaghan free reduced the deficit.

The biggest problem Freemount were encountering was their inability to win the dirty ball as the Seandún outfit were quicker in gaining possession.

In the 16th minute, Paul Cumming showed his class when blasting home a superb goal. The Lough player gathered the ball 40 yards out before making a darting run and unleashing an unstoppable shot to the roof of the net.

Scoring became a rarity for both sides but an eight-minute drought was ended for Lough Rovers when Danny Kiely slotted over a point following a free.

Cumming was certainly making an impression and once again he showed his class with a stunning point that increased the Lough lead to seven points with four minutes remaining to the interval.

Suddenly Freemount after looking totally outplayed ended a 20-minute spell without scoring as they finished the half with consecutive points from Mark Ballantyne and Liam Enright that saw them reduce the deficit to 1-5 to 0-3 at the interval.

On the restart, Freemount got a chance to reduce the deficit further but Sean Broderick’s point attempt was off target.

The Lough responded and Dane Holland opened their account with a point in the 33rd minute.

On each occasion, Freemount had an opportunity of getting back in the game their kicking let them down in front of goal.

On the other side of the coin, Lough Rovers were far more clinical and Gavin Corcoran showed a classy touch in the 41st minute when billowing the back of the net.

The Lough were allowed the freedom of the park and they followed with four unanswered points that gave them a 14-point lead in the 45th minute.

Credit to Freemount they continued to battle and a well-worked Kieran Broderick goal with 11 minutes remaining gave them a ray of hope.

In the end, the class of the Lough shone through as they were crowned champions in style.

Scorers for Lough Rovers: G Corcoran 1-4 (0-1 f), P Cumming 1-3, D Kiely 0-2 (0-1 f), J Keegan, A Greaney, S Long, D Holland (0-1 each).
