Intermediate Hurling In the proverbial game of
two halves we almost pulled off a dramatic victory over Ballincollig last
evening in Ovens in Round 3 of the Championship. Ian Kennefick got us off
to a great start with a fan- tastic solo goal after which we added a few points but that’s when it fizzled out for us. It took all of twelve min- utes for any free to award- ed but
unfortunately for
us it was the first of many awarded to Ballincollig, they scored most of their opportunity’s and as a result we were behind by 1-10 to 1-04 at the break. Credit to our lads they
asserted themselves imme- diately after the restart and when they had a player dis- missed all the momentum was with us. A well worked goal from substitute Kevin Finn reduced the deficit to four points with minutes remaining and within min- utes a point from Kieran Mulcahy and a cracker from Garan Manley left the sides level. The referee shortly after-
wards blew the final whistle and after some confusion it was confirmed that no extra time would be played. Ref- eree Cathal Egan of Glen Rovers. Well done to all the play-
ers and management on this battling performance, we can look forward to the replay with confidence, fi- nal score Midleton 3-11 v Ballincollig 1-17. Team: Byran Rossit-
er, Billy O’Shea, Finbarr O’Mahony, Adam Daly, Cillian Hurley, Shane Ryan, Padraig O’Keeffe, Cian Farmer (0-01), Kier- an Mulcahy (0-01), Garan Manley (1-05, 4 frees), Jake Hegarty (0-01), Ian Kenne- fick (1-00), Ross O’Regan (0-01), Peter Dowling (0- 02) & Tommy O’Connell. Subs used Shane Finn & Kevin Finn (1-00). Minor Hurling At Ballygarvan last Mon-
day evening we overcame a tough challenge
from Friday
Inniscarra in the Premier 1 Championship quarter final by 3-16 to 2-12. We were very tentative in
the first half and goals from Ross O’Regan and Cian Crowley kept a very deter- mined Inniscarra side at bay, at halftime it was 3-03 to 1-08 in our favour. In fairness in the second
half our lads really upped their performance and mid way through we struck five points without reply, with some very good defending also we closed out the game. We now face Na Piarsaigh in the semi final, well done to all
the players and the
management on this de- served victory. Team: Alan Power, Cor- mac O’Brien, Christian Murphy, David Scanlon, Sam Quirke, Sean O’Sul- livan, Ciaran Evans, Kevin Finn
(0-01), Tommy
O’Connell (0-01), Aaron Mulcahy, Gary Carroll (0- 01), Evan Rowlands, Ross O’ Regan (2-06, 5 frees), Cian Crowley (1-01) & Cian Farmer (0-04). Subs used Arthur Nganou (0-01) & Jake Shanahan. Senior Hurling We played Na Piarsaigh
away last Sunday morning in our penultimate game in the League and disap- pointingly we were defeated by 1-24 to 2-15. Our final game in the League is at home to Douglas on Tues- day evening before we play Glen Rovers in Round 3 of the Championship on Sat- urday week the 1st
of Sep-
tember in Pairc Ui Chao- imh.

U8: On Saturday the August we
travelled
to Carrigtwohill for an U8 Blitz. Our opposition were two home teams and two teams from Valley Rovers with our two teams primed and ready to take on the other teams in conditions perfect for an afternoon of camogie. Over the course of the blitz each team played four games, so all our players saw plenty of game time. Once again, all our players showed great work ethic, team spirit and determination in all their games. It was very satisfy- ing to see the development of our players and some very high skill levels on dis- play. Everyone performed brilliantly and we
really
enjoyed the well organised afternoon of camogie fun. Well done again to all the young magpies and coaches on a super effort. Thanks to Carrigtwohill for hosting. U13: We met Youghal in
the U13 Imokilly A cup semi-final in Ballinacurra on Tuesday evening 14th Aug.
Our team consisted
of many U12 girls to bring us to the starting 15 and we got off to a great start with an early goal to settle us down. The remaining first half was tightly consisted and we
led by 1-1 to 1-0 Senior Hurl- Fe14 Pre-
mier 2 Football League v Ballincollig away @ 7pm

at the break. We got off to an unlucky start in the sec- ond and conceded an early goal to put us in arrears and a strong Youghal team nev- er looked back and ran out deserved winners 4-3 to 1-2. Many thanks to all our sup- porters on the night and to our U12 girls who got a first taste of a full size pitch ac- tion. Now we look forward to getting back into U14 championship action in the coming weeks.
eastcorkjournal U15: We took on Caste-
lyons in the semi-final of the Imokilly Plate compe- tition on Thursday evening last, on what was a brilliant evening for Camogie. The girls played with the wind for the first half, they took some fantastic scores none more so than Chloe Garde, Leah Hogan and Vivienne Gleeson, unfortunately we left a lot of scores after us in the first half which would have made us a lot more comfortable at
half
time. We finished the first half two point up.
During
the second half we were holding their own against an ever improving Castle- lyons taking some great scores, but
two fortuitous
goals towards the end of full time gave our opposition a lead of four points that we couldn’t get back. Well done to all the girls who put in a tremendous effort and a lot will have been learned from this game as we head into championship next week.
