1928 Cork team consisted of five Midleton players Michael John Moloney (goalie), defenders Jimmy Glavin and Frank Cronin and forwards Larry Hor- gan and Christy Duggan. The team captained by Larry Horgan defeated Dublin in the final after a replay thus ensuring Lar- ry’s place in GAA history. Over the ninety years
Midleton produced the following Captains of the Cork minor team, Larry Horgan 1928 (All Ireland winners), Teddy Barry 1939 (All Ireland win- ners), Billy Ramsell 1950 (whose uncle Jimmy Ram- sell was one of the greats of Midleton and Cork teams of the 1914-1917 era, Michael O’ Mahony 1985 (All Ireland win- ners), Padraig O’Brien 1988 (All Ireland runners up), Timmy Dineen 1989 and Peter Smithand Mui- ris Quirke shared duties in 1990 (All Ireland runners up after a replay). Another great year for
the club at this level was 1995 when four Midleton players, Pat Walsh, Mi- chael O’Connell, Darragh Cott and Pat Mullaney were all on the team that won the All Ireland title. Some of this four were also on the team the previ- ous year, along with Alan Cahill when they were beaten in the All Ireland final. Fittingly we provided
the captain in 2017 when Sean O’ Leary Hayes cap- tained the team beaten by Galway in the All Ireland Minor final. This repre- sented the last year of the competition at under 18 level. Tommy O’ Connell played on the Cork minor
team in the first under 17 All Ireland final in 2017, the first winning Cork team of an All-Ireland title at this age. Kian Farmer, Kevin Finn and Sean O’ Sullivan also featured on that team during the year and Donal Burke was a selector. For the record (which may not be conclusive) the club has had eight players who played Minor football with Cork, the last being Paul Moynihan in 1993. (Many thanks to John Fenton for this article).

Healthy Club Drowning Prevention
Advice to GAA Clubs from the RNLI: Many of you will be
familiar with the GAA’s Healthy Club project which aims to transform GAA clubs into health-en- hancing hubs for their communities. A major part of the success of this project has been working with partner organisations in specialist areas, dealing with a range of social is- sues affecting community’s right across Ireland. One of these partner
organisations is the RNLI, an organisation that op- erates a volunteer-led lifeboat search and res- cue service in Ireland and Britain, at sea and on in- land waters and who save lives through action and their drowning preven- tion work. The charity’s ‘Respect the Water’ pro- gramme gives life-saving advice and information to people who never thought they would be at risk of drowning, in a way they can relate to and that is easy to understand and pass on to others. Every year people are losing their lives to drowning and the GAA community has not been left untouched by this. So what is happening? The RNLI would like
to deliver safety talks to minor and senior teams at GAA clubs in their local communities so they can understand the risks of drowning and how simple action can save lives. Why are the RNLI specifically targeting male minor and senior teams? Current drowning fig-
ures show a clear gender divide, with men account-
ing for over two-thirds of those who lose their lives through drowning. The campaign is primarily aimed at men, particu- larly those aged between 16 and 39 years, who are more likely to take risks. However, the safety advice is relevant for anyone and the RNLI Ambassadors are willing to speak to members of all ages, both male and female. Will it need much sup-
port or time? Not at all. The RNLI’s team of volunteers are specially trained and are GAA sup- porters themselves. They attended Croke Park to receive their training and have short presentations (approximately half an hour) that they can deliver locally. All they need is a contact person and a time that suits and they will do the rest. What can you do to
help? If you are near the coast or an RNLI lifeboat station then you may get a call from one of the RNLI volunteers offering a talk and you will know what to expect. If you would like to get a visit arranged you can contact the RNLI directly at their Irish Head Office and speak to Susan on Tel: 01-8900 460 or email Susan_Carthy@
rnli.org.uk Again, we know there
are a lot of asks on clubs and the Healthy Club pro- ject deals with many im- portant issues. The RNLI has worked with the GAA to make this programme relevant to young people who lead busy and active lives. These are the people we need to reach with this message and ultimately a short presentation could
77 Notes save a life at your club.
