BINGO – Next session is Friday at
8 pm. everybody welcome. Juvenile Fe 7 On Saturday morning we
travelled to Riverstown to take on Sars in a challenge game. 32 young and enthusias-
tic Magpies took to the field in what was a great morn- ing for hurling. Through- out the games there was an abundance of skill and de- termination on display. We
East Cork
are looking forward to the next few weeks where we have a number of challenge games lined up. Fe 11 On Saturday morning
last we were back in Rebel Og League action. After our mid season break we took on Carrigaline ( 2 teams ) and Fr O’Neills ( 1 team ) in football. On a great morning for football the boys gave a very good account of themselves. Having to dilute the team to try and compete with first teams is difficult. Some very good Football was played at times. In some cases though, stern words were spoken to some players to up their performance which seemed to work !!! Unfortunately we did not get the wins but we battled to the end which is very important. We are at home this Saturday v Éire Óg and Lisgoold in hurl- ing. Training continues this week when we go back to the small ball. Thanks to our young
refs for allowing the game to flow as much as possible and for helping us out once again.
Fe 13 On Saturday we travelled
to Na Piarsaigh for the Pat Kelleher Memorial tour- nament in what proved to be a very entertaining day
sport@eastcorkjournal.ie
for all involved. There was four teams represented Na Piarsaigh, St Finbarrs, Ball- ygunner and ourselves. First up for us was the Barr’s , the magpies made a flying start slotting home three goals in the first ten minutes and with a couple of fine points saw them lead at the break 3-2 to 1-0. It was a replica of the first half after the break with two quick goals from our lads putting us well and truly out of sight of a depleted Barr’s team, final score Magpies 5-7 to 1-0. The second game saw us
up against a very fancied Ballygunner team whom had just defeated the home side by over twenty points. Credit to our lads who were well up for the challenge and rattled off four quick points in the opening half which saw a score line of 0-4 to 0-1 at halftime. Bally- gunner came out fighting in the second half and things got a little heated. This game ended in a
draw with Ballygunner get- ting a goal in the dying sec- onds of the game leaving us feeling very hard done by. Final score 1-02 to 0-5. The third game was a
must win game for both sides to qualify for the fi- nal. We were playing the home team Na Piarsaigh
and our lads came out of the traps like lightning and took some fabulous scores with a healthy halftime lead of 3-7 to 1-1. It was much the same in the second half again with our forwards putting in a sublime perfor- mance which ended up on a score line of 6-8 to 3-1 to qualify for the final. After a well deserved rest
Notes
and a fine feed in the club- house we were due to face our old foes Ballygunner, this proved to be a magnif- icent game of hurling. The standard was well above par with both teams willing to put their bodies on the line. At halftime we were behind 0-06 to 0-01. A strong team talk from the mentors at the break saw our lads lift it and they came out with serious fight in their belly’s scoring the first five points. The Magpies were on a roll and had the Waterford lads rattled, a goal with a minute to go surely had it won for us but the never say die at- titude of Ballygunner saw them score a goal with the last puck of the game. Ex- tra time was going to decide this thriller again we start- ed strongly leading by two points at halftime in extra time and when we scored first after the break the lads fought for everything like their lives depended on it.

Fe 14 On Wednesday evening
last we played at home in the Premier 1 Hurling Cham- pionship game against St. Finbarr’s. The conditions were dry. St Finbarr’s have always been a strong team over the years at this level, so we knew that this was go- ing to be a tough match. We
had the breeze in the first half, but we got off to a slow start and we were down by a goal and three points with- in the early stages of the game. Our opponents were winning a lot more ball than we were. Even though we created scoring chances we couldn’t capitalise and put the chances away. At halftime we trailed by seven points. In the second half we
were now playing against the breeze and this meant that we were going to have to defend from the full forward line all the way through the entire team and stop our opponents from capitaliz- ing from the breeze. Every player put in a fantastic dis- play in the second half as they battled for every ball and supported each other, always looking to have a man to pass the ball to and help move the ball up the field and into scoring posi- tions .In the second half we kept our opponents to just three points while we scored seven points from frees and open play from Mikey Finn (8) and Dave Cremin (2). Going into the final few
minutes we were trailing by a goal and although the lads tried their best we couldn’t get the score that would have levelled the match. We hit the post from a Mikey
Finn free and we also had a ball cleared off the line after a goal mouth scramble Final Score Midleton
0.10 v St. Finbarr’s 1.10 The entire panel for this
