Healthy Club Phase 2 Healthy Club Rec-


ognition Event - Last


Saturday members


of our Healthy Club Team attended Croke Park for the Healthy Club Recognition Event.


58 Healthy Clubs


from all over Ireland were invited to Croke Park to re- ceive


their awards for the


completion of Phase 2 of the Healthy Club Project. The GAA Healthy Club team of Aoife, Colin, Stacy and Ron- an together with GAA Pres- ident Aogán Ó Fearghail, Irish Life CEO David Har- ney,


Minister of State for


Health Promotion Cathe- rine Byrne and special guest speaker Tyrone


Footballer


Seán Cavanagh congratu- lated all the clubs for their tireless work over the past 18 months. The HCP Clubs were commended in their efforts to bring both physi- cal and mental health to the fore in their clubs. In Mid- leton GAA Club this work was started in 2013 by Pearse McCarthy, Gavin Power and Jerome Curtin and is con- tinuing under the watchful eye of our current Healthy Club team – Cian McCarthy, Triona Scully, Ingrid Con- naughton, Paul O’Meara, Vincent Reddy, Diarmuid O’Dalaigh and Mairéad Beausang. 4 clubs in Cork re- ceived awards and we would like to congratulate our near neighbours Killeagh, St Fin- barrs and Castlehaven GAA clubs also. It was stressed by all con-


tributors how important it is to support one another and it was agreed that GAA clubs are in a position to do this as our clubs are embedded within communities.


The


Healthy Club team in Mid- leton GAA are very fortu- nate to have the support of the Club Executive, Juvenile, Ladies Football and Camo- gie clubs. We look forward to starting Phase 3 in early 2018 and if any club member would like to join the team or if you have any ideas please email midletongaahealthy- clubproject@gmail.com

Camogie U12A East Cork Final -


We travelled to Killeagh on Sunday afternoon to play the semi-final and final of the U12A East Cork League set up in Memory of Dominic Rooney. Our semi final was against a very tough Brian Dillons team, having had a poor first half, our girls went in at


the break 1-1 to 0-0.


However the girls put in an outstanding second half to come out on top 2-2 to 1-1 with fantastic scores all from play. In the other semi-final Douglas got the better of

Killeagh and this meant a repeat of the County league encounter between Midleton and Douglas which was held in August.


Again the girls


started slowly and were 5 points down after 15mins and just managed a free in injury time to go in at the end of the first half 0-5 to 0-1 down. Like the semi final the girls came out with all guns blaz- ing at the start of the second half and were level within the first 5mins after the restart. We continued to power on to the end and managed to keep a very strong Douglas team scoreless in the second half to come out victorious 2-4 to 1-1. It was a great end to the season for the girls and with a second trophy to add to the Killarney success proved to be very fruitful. A special thanks must go to Carrigtwohill Camogie for the planning of the tournament in memory of Dominic Rooney. Thanks to Killeagh for hosting and to the Foley family for providing the shield and plate in mem- ory of James Foley. The real winners were the four teams playing highly competitive matches in November. AGM: November 13th

Challenge Cup Final: Midle- ton v Beara We played Beara last Sat- urday November 4th


at a


cold, windy and wet Ovens. This game was the final of the Challenge Cup, we had qualified by beating St Mi- chaels’s in the semi-final. As usual we had a great turnout of players with 22 in total and all on the age. Beara are an amalgamation of a number of football clubs all from the their peninsula. The Magpies had put in a number of football training sessions recently and this group of footballers do go into games with a good deal of expecta- tion. Conditions, as written already above, were not ideal with a strong breeze blowing straight down the field. We choose to play with the breeze in the first half. Unfortunate- ly Beara got off to a flier with a goal and a point before we got on the score sheet. Then our boys settled, particularly at midfield where Ciarmhac Smyth, Alex Quirke


and


Adam Fay started to win the lion’s share of possession. Ci- armhac Smyth’s penetrating runs resulted in him scoring 1-01 before half time.


regrettably we were not add to this in the first half. This


was not because of the lack of endeavor from the young Magpies. Their tackling and overall application was out- standing it was just shot selec- tion on goal was alas a little off. The second half started with a lot of hope ‘we’ again won a lot of possession but were not able


to convert it


into scores. In the meantime Beara were adept and kicking over long range points. All of our players tried their heart out with particular mention to some outstanding displays on the day from Ronan Gies (particularly one brilliant save in the second half), Dar- ragh McCarthy, Alex Quirke, Fintan Greenwood, Ciarm- hac Smyth, Cian Murray and Kelvin Barry. There is plenty material to build on here for the future (Tiocfaidh ár lá). Final Score: Midleton 1-02 v Beara 2-11. Panel: Ronan Gies, James


O’Sullivan, Darragh McCar- thy, Niall Corcoran, Darragh Codd, Fintan Greenwood, James Condon, Adam Fay, Ciarmhac Smyth (1-01), Cian Murray, Evan Kelly (0-01), Kelvin Barry, Ben O’Neill, Brion Saunderson, Alex Quirke, Rowan Spill- ane, Neil Fitzgerald, Rory Hartnett, Phelim Magann, John Spellman, Craig Collins and Daire Mooney. Our hurling team traveled


away to Church Road on Oc- tober Bank Holiday Monday to play Blackrock in the final of the C3 Rebel Óg League. The


two teams had only


played each other recently with our Magpies coming out on top in what was a very close


contest. Conditions But


were near perfect in Black- rock for the game. First off the mark for us was Phelim Magann with a well struck

point from play. Evan Kelly was next to score a point that gave us a two point lead early in the game. James Condon then hit a purple patch; three points all from play and each one of them better than the next. The final point of the half from the young Mag- pies was our sixth point of the day and was struck over the bar by Kelvin Barry after he was found by a nice cross field pass from Ben O’Neill. Our back had coped admira- bly throughout the first half. In particular Liam McGrath, Niall Corcoran and Row- an Spillane repelled a lot of the Rockies attacks. Half Time Score: Midleton 0-06 v Blackrock 1-04. The second half had only


just started when James Con- don added two more points to his tally for the day. Cian Murray was next to pop up in front of goal and slot over our ninth point. James Con- don, Evan Kelly and a futher brace from James Condon concluded our tally of


thir-


teen points on the day. This was enough to see them claim the silverware by a single point. Our players were out- standing in the second half and all deserve a mention but in particular Mikey Finn, Rory Hartnett, Adam Fay and Brion Saunderson. Final Score: Midleton 0-13


v Blackrock 1-09 Following the game Mid-


leton’s Captain Rory Hart- nett was presented with the League Cup on behalf of the panel. Panel: Brion Saunderson,


Rowan Spillane, Niall Cor- coran, Neil Fitzgerald, Lam McGrath, Adam Fay, Rory Hartnett (cpt), Evan Kelly (0-02), Cian Murray (0-01), Kelvin Barry (0-01), Ronan


Gies, James Condon (0-08), Ben O’Neill, Phelim Ma- gann (0-01), John Spellman, Mikey Finn, Craig Collins, Daire Mooney, Tiernan Ro- che and Michael Roe.
