defence under pressure. They moved the ball well from one side of the pitch to the other, stretching the Midleton defence and cre- ating a few opportunities on goal.
Midleton defence held
strong with some key saves from Reyes Hevia, who put on goalie gear for the first time today, and played a great game. Midleton created some
opportunities in the first half, with some great runs down the left side by Charlotte Walsh, but un- fortunately they couldn’t capitalise on these in the circle. Sarah Hall had a great
chance to score in the first half having hooked onto a ball coming into the circle, but

time. In the first twenty min-
utes of the second half, Midleton were
playing
very well with some good passing from mid-field to the forwards. With a few short corners in succes- sion, there were opportu- nities to score but unfor- tunately it wasn’t to be on the day. The last ten minutes of
the match saw the youth- ful Limerick side throw everything at Midleton. They got a short corner
in the last minute, result- ing in a strong hit from the top of the circle head- ing for goal. Rosa O’Con- nell, who was a rock in defence, blocked this powerful shot stick, but
with her unfortunately deflected it directly to her East Cork Darts

welcomed Hennessey’s “B” and a strong per- formance from the Ball- inacurra
side helped
put them back into con- tention. Dave Hickman and Paddy Quinn Jnr got The Corner House off to a perfect start with strong wins. Joe Crotty
responded with a strong performance for Hen- nessey’s
in his match
with Godfrey Kirby. Philip Moore and Pad- dy Quinn Snr closed out the game for the Corner House with solid vic- tories to move them 1 point off the lead. The Central Star wel-
comed Kades to Youghal and scraped through 5-4 on the night. Paddy Hea- phy and Pat Peters per- formed well to get a good start for the Central Star. Mark O’Donnell and Barry McCarthy replied for Kades but it wasn’t enough to stop Central
Star joining JD’s and the Corner House 1 point off the lead at the top of the table. In the Gaelic Bar Divi- sion 2 Hickeys and Niall McCarthy’s clashed in their push for honours. A 6-3 win for Hickeys keeps them in 2nd

Hennessey’s “A” jumped a point clear at the top with the victory over the Tower Bar. Liam Faul and John Fitzgerald con- tinued their consistent form with victories for Hennesseys “A”. Ritchie Barry had a good victo- ry against Jason Fitzger- ald to get a point for the Tower Bar but it wasn’t enough as Hennessey’s “A” gained the victory. Harty’s and Colbert’s
Bar collided in Cloyne where Colbert’s contin- ued their push for top spot in the league with

was awarded, with the fi- nal whistle blown seconds after, leaving Limerick with “last play” and one last attempt to score. The Midleton defence stayed strong and cleared the ball, leaving the match re- sult at 0-0. A hard fought

that could have resulted in either team winning, but Midleton were happy to come away with a draw, away
from home. Well done girls.
Match Report Midleton Men’s 2nd

s v Waterford November @
The 2nd
Midleton Men’s s travelled to Waterford
on a perfectly fine day for hockey. On the flipside, the team travelled with a bare 11 players. Before the
match
started, we talked about passing the ball around, creating gaps for pushing forward and then closing down the opposition when they have the ball, and we executed the plan fantasti- cally in the first half. There was great pass-
ing of the ball with plenty of back-up and support being given throughout the pitch, and the goals flowed from there. The first goal came af-
ter just 5 minutes with a lovely strike by Sam Spill- ane. A short corner 3 min- utes later was finished by
a Simon Casey drag flick. And just 4 minutes after that Fergal Roche scored on his debut for the team this year. Neil Sandes then caused
trouble when he went ‘head’ first into a Water- ford player. This result- ed in blood flowing from both players but while the Waterford player headed off for stitches, Neil was able to resume after about 10 minutes rest. The
scoring resumed
straight after that. 4 more goals in less than 10 min- utes from Sam (32 min- utes), Jason (34 minutes), Johnny Spillane (36 min- utes) and Sam, who got his hat trick from a short corner on the half
time
whistle, meant we were 7-0 up at half time.
Into the second half
and two more goals from Fergal (5 minutes) and Johnny Spillane (6 min- utes) just closed out the game completely and the foot was taken off the pedal after that. Waterford had one corner awarded
short
about 20 minutes into the second half, which was well finished and deserv- edly gave them something for their efforts. Fergal got his hat-trick close to the final whistle. Well done to the two
players who scored hat- tricks today. The whole team really showed what can be achieved when the team works together. Looking forward to next week already.
Novem-
ber at the Two Mile Inn. Entry forms are now be- ing distributed to teams.
