It is not an easy job so thank you Richard for taking to the whistle at such short notice and also to both teams and mentors for showing great respect to Killeagh’s newest reiteor. Killeagh/Ita’s started the brighter with two points from play by Ciaran (O’R) when Blarney re- sponded with four points in quick succession. Ben pulled one back when Blarney went on to point a

victory over Meelin in our second last
league game
which was played at home last Wednesday night at the late hour of 8.30pm. This, of course, was for good reason as both teams
had arranged to play the game in Mourne Abbey (home to Clyde Rover). Then as the lads had left and well on the way word came through that Clyde was unplayable due to the bad weather.
However,
our management worked immediately rearranged the venue. Meelin agreed to come to Castlelyons to play the game. Mark Murphy of Bride Rovers obliged at
the shortest notice to referee it and it

to print our fate will be decided in this relega- tion battle versus Tracton at Eire Óg Grounds on Tuesday 28.9.17. Well we have two chances really defeat Tracton or if in the event being beaten we can plead our case to stay up for 2018. But surly we are worth a win as we have quality players but we must be up for it as Trac- ton are a proud club and players like Mick O’Sul- livan or the Lynch’s will not give up the battle easy. Our own form is good in the League as we are on course for promotion and making the final of Di- vision 2 of the IHL but unfortunately, we did not
Killeagh/Ita’s were not
letting them back into the game. Daniel opened the scoring in the second half with a lovely point and Ben scored his second goal before being called ashore. Ciaran (O’R) scored a further 1-2 with Ciaran (L) getting 0-2 to give us a full-time score of 5-10 to 0-10. Well done to our goalkeeper Ben and the defence who didn’t
allow Blarney to
raise any green flag. Max- imum league points from this game keeps our place on the top of the league table secure. We have one match left to play which is against Carrigaline in Killeagh and then we will be into the league semi-fi- nal. Well done all, a great team effort and it showed on the scoreboard. Team: B Budds, B Mur-
phy, J Fogarty, P Landers, D Coleman, G Walsh/ Wallace, R Treacy, D
really show for the cham- pionship as we
started
poorly in both games and comeback efforts were be- yond us. Hopefully, with many lads getting great senior experience
with
UCC and Uí Mac Coil- le lately we will develop a few leaders to close out games and do the business to give us confidence for 2018.

Killeagh/Ita’s Fe9’s The parish leagues for
all U9’s commences this coming week. Hurling and football games will be played each Tuesday night for the next three week’s and after these preliminary games the semi-finals will be played to decide the final pair- ings. The teams will be fi- nalised before Tuesday so look out for information to see what team you are playing with. Please do your best to attend each of the games as you don’t want to let your fellow players down and best of luck to everybody taking
produce so we must go for the win. There is also the fact
that many lads can playing Sars-

We had a good win over Aghada and a close call over a young St Cathe- rines outfit and will have to be at our best on Sun- day.
Fair play to Donal
Barry and his manage- ment team they have done a mighty job in ensuring that there is a strong sec- ond team being fielded in the club and it is mighty to be in the final. However, we must realise
that we

Octo-
develop and find their form in their 20’s and again the Junior B man- agement are giving lads this opportunity. The Sarsfields academy and range of players from such a large population is rich and very strong. While they have many teams, they will not be found wanting at this lev- el either and the likes of Ross Fahy, Ian Burke, Pat- rick O’Driscoll and Dan- ny O’Mahony and John O’Driscoll are top class hurlers. They had good victories over Youghal and Midleton in the semi-fi- nal. Nevertheless, our lads have prepared well and are an even team with good spirit.
So, all
roads to the ‘Hill and best of luck lads. Abú.

had an excellent win in the East Cork final over Bride Rovers and I believe the lads are training well. We have lads involved in Junior B, Intermediate and, of course Jack Barry and Niall O’Leary with UCC and Uí Mac Coille so we will be hoping even though they are busy that they will all be victorious.
County Senior Hurling Quarter Finals end in stalemate. The
County Senior
Hurling Quarter Finals involving Imokilly v Er- ins Own and Sarsfields v UCC in Páirc Uí Rinn on Sunday both ended in draw games and must go again this Saturday at the same venue. The standard of hurling in both games was very good in front of a reasonable crowd. Our men Colm Barry and Ni- all O’Leary played at full and centre back respec- tively in the Uí Mac Coille team and both had excel- lent games. Colm fielded from the clouds and com- manded the square well. Niall started well put over a massive point and im- proved as the game went on for
