Saturday 18 Feb 2012 Fe 13 - Prem 2 Football League
Midleton GAA (7-05) vs Mitchelstown (1-03)
Midleton Community College, 16:00PM
Midleton under 13 football team played their first league match on 18th of Feb against Mitchelstown in St Colmans pitch.
Played in very cold conditions and against a strong breeze Midleton settled well and led after 15 mins after a goal from Christopher Power. By half time we led by 2 goals and 1 point to 1 goal and 2 points. All players deserve great credit for their display especially Harry Wall who had his best display ever in a Midleton Jersey.
The second half was easier with the aid of the very strong breeze and with good continuity and support play the forwards were able to finish with aplomb. The game was played in a very sporting manner with both teams trying their best. My compliments to both teams for their approach and it was a pleasure to watch our team pass and support each other so well. Midleton eventually won on a scorline of 7 goals and 5 points to 1 goal and 3 points to Mitchelstown. A good start to life in their first competitive year.
Congratulations to our 2 captains for the year Cathal Gunning in football and Harry Wall in hurling.
