Intermediate Hurling Last Sunday afternoon


our hurlers had a great win over Milford in the first round of the Champion- ship at Kilworth. Having played against the wind in the first half we trailed by 0-07 to 0-03 at the break. Immediately after the re- start we upped our game with some fine points and came within a single point only for them to


score


three in a row. A long range effort from Padraig O’ Shea was challenged in the air by Eoghan Walsh which finished with the ball going directly to the net. This was followed shortly by a great individu- al goal from Ian Kennefick who beat two defenders before billowing the back of the net. A late


from Milford ensured a tense last few minutes but two well struck free’s from Padraig O’Keeffe ensured our second victory in this competition. We now await the win-


ners of Glen Rovers or Drispey on or about Friday 23rd


of June. This game doubled up


for League points and as a result of our win we now are in second place. Well done to the players and management on this well deserved victory. Team: Joe Loftus, Cil-

Camogie U13 - we played Mill-


street on Saturday after- noon last in a challenge match. It was a very sport- ing match in very wet con- ditions, we finished the first half well on top but they came back strong in the second half, credit is due to both team as conditions at times were challenging, at the final whistle we fin- ished ahead. Thanks to Millstreet for travelling. U14 - We continued our league play offs on Thursday evening last v Dungourney away.


The


result did not go our way on this occasion but the girls put in a huge effort and battled for every ball until the final whistle with some great individual per- formances throughout the team. We have one more match left in the play offs v St Fanahan’s, the date is to be confirmed. We have a challenge match v Fr O’Neill’s Tuesday 6.30pm. Well done to both Orla

Juvenile Fe 9


On Thursday night last


we travelled to Youghal for football league games versus the hosts. Thanks to Brendan Coleman and the Youghal lads for two very good games with a big crowd in support of the games. We had a great turn out of 27 players and both teams we had played their best games of the year which was rewarded with the results. Great also to see different lads com- ing to the fore in both the hurling and football codes. Best of luck to all the lads and parents who have al- ready or will on the 20th their communions.


Fe 10 Over the last number


of weeks our U10 leagues have been in full swing. The boys have played Bishopstown, Glanmire and Douglas in football. Some of these games have been difficult at times with some clubs far superior in football, but the majority have been very competi- tive. The boys have shown their battling qualities in recent weeks and the atti- tude in training has been excellent. On the hurling front we


have played Sars which


ended in a draw and Ban- don which ended in defeat. The hurling has been very good at times and again the attitude of the players is second to none. With the next three to four weeks action packed we are look- ing forward to the chal- lenges ahead. I would like to thank the young referees for helping out for all the home games. A big thank you to all who helped out with teas, coffees, sand- wiches etc for the visit of the Bandon team. It was greatly appreciated by the visiting mentors, parents and players and created a good friendly atmosphere in the club on the night. Our next two confirmed


fixtures are SARS away on the 19th


of May (hurling)


at Buck Leary’s Cross and Bandon away on the 26th of May (football) both are Friday evening games. Well done to all again. Magpies ABÙ.


Fe 11 It was a very busy week


for us, on Saturday last we trained, on Wednesday we travelled


to Glen Rovers


for a hurling league match and on Friday we played Cobh away in a football league match. In Glen Rovers, in excellent weath- er


conditions we man- get


aged to field three teams, despite very tight pitches three fantastic games were served up, there was hardly a puck of the ball between the teams. It was fantastic to see both the collective and individual effort of the lads being rewarded with a very credible draw. In Cobh on friday evening we fielded two teams of 11 a side, on a breezy night and on a rock hard pitch condi- tions were difficult for both teams, to their credit both teams performed admira- bly , both games were very high scoring and played in a very sporting manor. With a win and a loss it is recorded as a draw and we remain unbeaten in the football league to date. Thanks to both Glen Rov- ers and Cobh for hosting and thanks to the parents and families for travelling to support the lads.

eastcorkjournal Fe 13 Midleton 2-08 v Doug-


las 4-11 On Saturday afternoon,


our U13 lads came up short against a strong and physical Douglas side, in the Premier 1 Hurling league. They started the first half strongly, but Mi- chael Roe, TJ Murphy and Ben Kenneally hurled well to prevent scores, with Davy Cremin, Dara Scan- lon and Brian O’Connell also contributing. Having defended well,


our for-


wards stepped up a gear, but were denied numer- ous goal opportunities by the Douglas goalkeeper. Busy up front were David Green, Cathal Beausang and Alex Moloney, with Odhran Prenter


with a knee injury. We de- served to finish level at half time with 1-4 each, Mickey Finn and Tiarnán Roche getting on the scoreboard. Happy enough with our first half performance, the Continued on next page

took on Mitchelstown in a tight contest that ended with us being pipped at the post in the final minute of the game. The first half was very evenly matched with the score 1.02 a piece at half time. Darragh Higgins kept us in the game with some fine saves during the course of the game. Evan Mc Grath and Cian Lambe kicked some fine scores throughout the game. Tadgh O’ Leary Hayes and Eoin Higgins put in a strong midfield effort. Unfortunately they got a goal in the dying minute’s of the game leav- ing the final score line at Midleton 1-05 v Mitch- elstown 2-03. A fantastic effort by all magpies on the evening well done all.
