their Championship cam- paign last


Our hurlers kicked off Wednesday


evening on a perfect Cas- tletownroche surface with a fine victory over Shandrum on a scoreline of 3-19 to 2-09. We led at the break by


1-12 to 1-06 but a series of bad wides on the restart had us frustrated for a peri- od of time but we eventu- ally pulled away in the last quarter for the win. Well done to all the play-


ers and management. Team: Alan Power,

Field Fixture On Sunday last we

Before a fine crowd the Barrs de- feated Killeagh by 2-15 to 2-13 and Bride Rovers were impressive winners over Na Piarsaigh by 2-24 to 0-17. Thanks to the Board for allowing us to host these games but a special thanks to all our members who helped out both in the build up to the game and for the many hours throughout the games, it’s very much appreciated, well done to everyone..


Camogie


(Camógaíochta) U11: We travelled to Fr


O’Neill’s on Saturday last to take part in an U9 blitz, we played St Finbarrs, Kil- leagh and


the hosts. The


girls played really well in all three matches. It was a great


afternoon of camo-


gie despite the odd shower. Thanks to Fr O’Neill’s for the invitation. U12: Our U12 blacks


met St Finbarrs on Satur- day last in Ballinacurra it was a mighty performance against


the ly strong traditional- camogie club.


There were great battles all over the pitch but we just came out on the right side of the result. We would like to thank the Barrs for a great game and thank to family and friends for the wonderful support our girls received on the day which they enjoyed and was well de- served.


U15/16: We


played a chal- lenge match last Friday evening v Dungourney


in


preparation for our upcoming matches, being


despite low on


numbers it was a well worth exer- cise with the girls putting in a great performance.

Ladies Football We made it two wins out


of two games in the East Cork Minor football league with a hard fought game against Watergrasshill last Tuesday evening in Midle- ton. We had only 13 girls available on the night and in fairness to WGH they matched our 13. This made the game a very open game of football and the referee on the night AJ Cronin al- lowed the game to flow and flow it did from one end to the other and both ways. A very entertaining sporting affair, we went in at


the


break one goal up, 1:4 to 0:4.


A few positional switches


at half time resulted in us taking control of the game and put in a fantastic rear guard performance


and


made work very difficult for


the WGH girls who


just could not break down our defence. Unbelievable way ward shooting from


August 7.30pm Ball-


U15 Imokilly Semi-Fi- August 7pm in Castle-


our forwards was another talking point but in fairness they got it right in the last eight mins to put over three unanswered points and close out the game. A great sporting running game by two fantastic teams, final score Midleton 2:11 v Wa- tergrasshill 1:7. Team: Clodagh Finn (0-


1), Rhea Buckley, Claudia Kearney, Katie


Horgan,


Deirdre Corcoran, Roisin O’Callaghan, Abby Quirke (0-1), Lucy Wallace (0-1), Molly Beausang (1-4), Lau- ra O’Leary, Lucy Kenneal- ly, Aoife Franklin (0-2) and Sadhbh Beausang (1-2). Well done to the Healthy Club Initiative within our Club who had a very suc- cessful afternoon at


the


club today. A special thanks to our Young players Ellen, Kate, Eva and Ciara who were on hand to help out. Training this week: U8’s


are on a break and will re- turn next week and U10 - Junior are at the Tech Pitch from 7-8pm


Healthy Club The Healthy Club Pro-


ject currently in Phase 3 is a GAA initiative backed by Irish Life and Healthy Ireland. It is focused on improving the


health of


the nation by transforming GAA clubs into hubs for health. It capitalises on the key role


played by GAA


clubs in local communities and empowers clubs to deliver health and wellbe- ing information and pro- grammes directly to their


members and to the wid- er communities that


they


serve. On Sunday afternoon


we collaborated with St Finbarrs and Killeagh Healthy Clubs to show- case a little of what each club has achieved


to the St Finbarrs and Kil- leagh Senior game children from each of the clubs took centre stage with their re- spective flags earned from engaging with partners in the community to promote a health message members.


to our Midleton had


their RNLI Water Safety Flag, St Finbarr’s with their Pieta House Amber Flag and Killeagh with their Healthy Club Flag which recognises their success in achieving a completely Smoke Free GAA Grounds. We were very fortunate to have Lord Mayor Mick Finn in attendance togeth- er with Tracy Kennedy Chairperson Cork County Board, our own John Fen- ton, and Charlie McCar- thy from St Finbarr’s. The Healthy Club Showcase finished at half-time in the


St Finbarrs and Killeagh game when the children from across the three clubs took part in Novelty Obsta- cle Course. We would like to thank


Hurley’s SuperValu who sponsored the


fruit Prior that


was available to match at- tendees. We would to also thank the GAA Executive Committee for their sup- port with today’s showcase in particular Coleman Quirke who was a great help to the HCP Commit- tee. Special thanks to our wonderful young members Kate Saunderson, Ellen O’Neill, Ciara Murphy and Eva Saunderson who were flag bearers for today – well done girls!
