KILLEAGH- ITA’S JUVENILE REPORT Premier 2A Hurling League Final Fr. O’Neill’s 4-8, Killeagh-Ita’s 0-3 We don’t like bad weath-


er! Our minor hurlers were blown away by a physically stronger, fitter and more combative O’Neill’s side in awful conditions in the Premier 2A Minor Hurl- ing League Final played on Sunday December 10th


in Páirc Uí Chinnéide. For supporters, mentors and players, the biting


cold,


sleet and rain made this a bit of a torture. Credit to the O’Neill’s team, how- ever, who were clinical in front of goal, in particular the ‘fathach’ Jason Hank- ard who bagged


goals on 9, 22 and 31 min- utes to put the game out of reach. We had chances to score but it was a day when very little worked out right for us. Our final game of the season is not one we will remember well.


Congratulations The aforementioned Eoghan Keniry was hon- oured


during the week when he was selected at


left-half forward on the Rearden’s Cork Sen- ior Hurling Champion- ship All-Star Team


of three


the Year. This honour is well deserved as Eoghan bounced back from an in- jury-restricted 2016 season to produce consistently high-level


performances


in both league and cham- pionship.


COMING UP The on-field activity is


over now for a few weeks, so attention turns to two social events after Christ- mas. First up we have our Annual Poc Fada on St. Stephen’s Day, which will take its usual course from Mount Uniacke to Kil- leagh. Throw in is from

11.30 a.m., and we are encouraging


any walk-


ers to head off in the first wave, with the juveniles, on our monthly Healthy Clubs Project Walk (No. 23). The adults will head off from 12.00 on, with a little business to be con- ducted on the card tables for some before the hurleys are swung.


Our second social event


of Christmas week is our Annual Table Quiz in aid of Killeagh-Ita’s Ju- venile GAA Club, which takes place on Thursday December


28th in The


Old Thatch at 8.30 p.m. This promises to be a night of fun, debate and head-scratching. To give you a


head-start,

@eastcorkjournal / #eastcorkjournal


is an extract from the in- troduction to the One Club Guidelines to give a flavour of what is involved: ‘Each of the associations


recognises the benefits of a One Club approach in promoting the playing of Gaelic games at both juve- nile and adult level. Adopt- ing a One Club approach facilitates catering for the whole family in an inte- grated fashion.’


‘Notwithstanding their


separate formal identities, the defacto integration of GAA, Ladies Gaelic Foot- ball and Camogie is hap- pening on a widespread basis around the country.’ ‘the


associations are


committed to encouraging and supporting the model whereby clubs cater


for


all family members, both male and female’. ‘The Guidelines are not


mandatory, but are provid- ed for the benefit of those clubs wishing to enter into a One Club structure in a spirit of goodwill.’ ‘We hope that the One Club Guidelines will as- sist clubs in their efforts to promote our games within One Gaelic Games Fami- ly.’


The One Club Guide-


lines provide a framework for the GAA, Camogie and LGFA to work to- wards integration. Midle- ton GAA, Ladies Football and Camogie Clubs will


eastcorkjournal


agree to voluntarily enter the One Club Structure in a spirit of goodwill for 2018. At the end of 2018 all parties will review their position and see if they wish to continue. The meeting concluded with a presentation from Sean


Corcoran on our


plans for the Youghal Rd development which has now gone to planning.
