terracing around it came to £16,000. All the fund- ing for this work was raised by the development com- mittee including a lottery grant of £8000. The first project under-


taken by the development committee was the steps immediately outside


the


club pavilion and the build- ing of that stand and new terracing at that side of the grounds concluded that phase of the project. The materials for the stand were supplied by local compa- nies including Chadwicks, Muckley Tool Hire, Healy Bros, Ryan Plant


Hire,


Sheehy Bros, with Munster Steel providing the steel for the pillars and roof of the structure. The official ‘opening’ of


the stand was followed by a Senior Football challenge between Cork and Kildare. After the game the players were treated to a meal af- terwards in the club pavil- ion, the cost of 82 dinners for all the players and offi- cials coming to £556.00. The net income from the gate was £2,281 this mon- ey being used to pay for the work. Other work carried out


by the Development com- mittee that year included a new press/video centre (across from the pavilion) and the clearing of the ground at the rear entrance to the grounds (near where the ball alley is now locat- ed). Events organised that year included the golf clas- sic at which golfing great Christy O’ Connor senior gave a very well presented and received golfing lesson to all attendees.


Christy


O’Connor was sponsored by Volkswagen at the time and his presence was or- ganised by David Quirke of our present Golf classic sponsors Blackwater Mo- tors. Two poker classics were


also organised but


as the returns from these were not great these were discontinued. There was a very well received Cork Examiner photographic exhibition in the hall and a programme for Jimmy Ma- gee’s Radio Sports quiz was also recorded in the hall. A Midleton team consist-

This film was owned by the late Paul Butler and after some initial reluctance on his part we managed to get some film from him and Brendan Barry transferred this on to a video tape.

Juvenile Fe 9: Best of luck to all


the Fe 9 boys making their communion over the next few weeks. Fe 12: Midleton 5-03 v Ballincollig 1-04 In the C3 League we had a fantastic day re- cently with a home game. Our lads started well with a fine opportunist goal by Zak Smith, five minutes later the nippy full forward struck again with a great catch at


the edge of the


square and a superb strike to the top corner of the net. Ballincollig piled on the pressure but with Dar- ragh Aherne in flying form in goals and a strong full back line of Sean Cronin, Conor Williams (captain) and Rory Lester battling hard to keep Ballincollig at bay. Our midfielders Dar- ragh Fitzgerald and Evan McGrath worked tirelessly in midfield covering every blade of grass on the pitch. They got a goal just before half time but the Mag- pies went


straight down the field and Larry Ward

struck for a cracking goal to keep the pressure on. Dan- iel Shine and Alex Cahill were playing excellent up front continuously hassling their backs. Zak got a third goal and followed short- ly with a point, Darragh Fitzgerald scored a fine point from a difficult angle keeping the Magpies flying high. Our backs never gave up with Oisin Berdassa and Darragh Higgins clearing every ball that came their way. Liam O’ Neill struck for our final goal just on the final whistle. Overall a huge team effort and massive


commitment by


each and every player on the field, onwards and up- wards, keep up the good work.

Midleton 5-03 v Kilara On a dreary Saturday


afternoon we travelled to Araglen a football strong- hold of North Cork. After traveling in large numbers the magpies started well with


Darragh Scanlon


getting in for a goal on the five minute mark. Kilara responded well with two great


scores. Conor Wil-


liams and Alex Moloney were defending well and with great running work from Tadgh Bohane and Tadgh O’ Leary we kept the pressure on with a Ni- all Lang goal and point followed quickly by points from Darragh Scanlon and Darragh


Fitzgerald. The


quick feet and thinking of Cian Lambe saw him through for a goal just be- fore half time. A strong wind in the sec- ond half saw Kilara kick three


unanswered points


but when Cian got on the end of a ball there was no stopping him and he finished with a wonder- ful strike


to the back of


the net. Eoin Higgins and Evan McGrath worked tirelessly, and in the dying minutes Zak Smith got in for a lovely goal leaving the final score line 5-03 to 7 points. The mentors would like to think all the Magpies and parents for travelling on the day. A huge perfor- mance by everyone well done all.
