Condolences It was with great shock and sadness that we heard of
the sudden passing of
Michael (Mick) Allen late of Mill Road on Saturday morning last. Mick had only been in the Club on Friday night overseeing the Bingo as part of his usual routine, what a character he was, a proud Waterford man and an avid fan of both Gaa and Horse racing not forgetting his dancing exploits. I’m sure he’ll soon be reunited with his old buddy Bon- zo reminiscing about trips to Redbarn and Listowel, hunting with the Kilwater- moy
with Tallow and the Sham- rocks. Wouldn’t
Blazers and hurling he
have
looked forward to Cork v Waterford in four weeks’ time! The Club Executive
would like to express their deepest sympathies to his wife Francis, his son and daughters, family and many friends. Ar dheis Dé go rai- bh a anam.

Castletownroche, Cork in June 1863. He played Sen- ior Football with Midleton who won the Cork County Championship in 1889 and went on to represent Cork and win the 1890 All Ireland Championship. His honours with Midleton were as fol- lows;

Juvenile Fe 7 It was a very busy week
for the Fé 7 squad. On Wednesday evening we travelled to Carrigtwohill to take on our hosts in Football as our preparation contin- ues for the monster blitz on the 27th
on show was once again of a very high standard and all the matches were very com- petitive. It was very encour- aging to see the improve- ment right across the panel and great execution of the basic skills. The lads had a brilliant week and showed great club spirit throughout it all.
Fe 12 Once again we travelled
in large numbers to Douglas on Friday evening. We start- ed strongly with a goal from Eoin Higgins in the opening minutes of the game. This was followed up with points from Cian Lambe, Darragh Fitzgerald and Niall Lang. The Douglas forwards were finding it hard to score with the magpies full back line of Darragh Higgins, Alex Moloney and Sean Cronin hassling and making life difficult for them. Goalkeep- er Alex Howard was very effective with his kick outs finding a Midleton player every time. Tadhg O’ Leary Hayes and Tadhg Bohane were covering an awful lot of ground between them. Eoin Higgins got in for a second goal just before half time leaving the score line 2-5 to 1-2. The second half started
brightly for us with Alex Cahill giving a lovely pass to Evan Mc Grath for the opening score. Adam Col- lins
and Conor Williams
kept the pressure on the Douglas forwards. Darragh Fitzgerald slotted over our final point leaving the final score line of Midleton 2-07 v Douglas 1-03. The men- tors would like to thank all players and parents
that
travelled on the evening this group are improving greatly as the season goes on. Panel Darragh Higgins,
. It was a won-
derful evening of football and it was great to see the hard work that all the play- ers have been putting in at training over the last num- ber of weeks is paying off as the skills on show were of a very high standard. Each of our teams got three games and all our players got plen- ty of touches on the ball. We were back in Car- once
rigtwohill again on
Saturday morning as we swapped codes to take on our hosts in hurling. Once again all our players played three games. The standard
