Healthy Club Project
Last Saturday we announced the winners of our Healthy Club Project slogan competition. We got a great response to the competition and we thank everyone who entered. After careful deliberation we decided on the slogan 'Is fearr an sláinte ná na táinte'.Our winners are Samuel Judd and James Murphy, well done lads. Both boys received a prize of a €35 voucher each from our club shop. We would like to give special thanks to Múinteoir Edel who encouraged her class to enter the competition. Thanks to our Cork players Conor Lehane & Luke O’ Farrell for giving their time to meet the lads Saturday morning. We have had lots of ideas coming into us from parents and members regarding health initiatives. We will press on with some of these ideas over the next while. IS FEARR NA SLÁINTE NÁ NA TÁINTE

Juvenile Notes

Fe8/10/12
Last Saturday morning we welcomed the mighty Cashel King Cormac’s to town for a feast of hurling, the field was full of almost 150 players giving it there all in a very organised and fun Blitz. Thanks to all the committee, parents and supporters who helped on the day especially with the tremendous spread of food and refreshments afterwards. We look forward to the day when we may see some of these players on opposing teams in Thurles on Munster Final day !

Fe13
Our Fe 13 Hurlers advanced to the Cork U13 Premier Hurling Championship Final by defeating Douglas in the Semi-Final on Saturday 15th June on a scoreline of Midleton 2-11 to Douglas 2-05. Played in a sunny, but breezy Kilbarry, both teams treated the large turnout to an excellent and open game of hurling, with superb commitment and great scoring to the fore. Douglas started smartly, and an early goal put us under pressure from the off. Scores from Tommy O'Connell and Cian Murray narrowed the score to Douglas 1-02 v Midleton 0-04 after 17 mins of play, when a head injury to our wing-back Fergus Wade resulted in a lengthy delay to proceedings. Both sides left the field of play while waiting for the emergency services to arrive, with the game re-commencing after a layoff of 35 mins. Once the game got underway again, we were fast out of the blocks and outscored Douglas 2-02 to 0-02 in the remaining time in the period up to half-time. This left the half-time score at Midleton 2-06 to Douglas 1-04, after an entertaining and eventful 1st half. Some positional changes for us at half-time resulted in us getting the upper hand upon the resumption of play, but some wayward shooting led to several bad wides in the first 10 mins of the 2nd half. A soft Douglas goal after 15 mins put added pressure on us, but a positive and productive response resulted in 0-05 pts for the Magpies, 0-04 coming from play and 0-01 from a placed ball. The remainder of the half saw some strong and resolute defending by our rearguard, ensuring we held out for a well deserved victory on a scoreline of Midleton 2-11 to Douglas 2-05. Obviously everybody involved is delighted to be competing in a County Final, but a lot of errors, namely the concession of silly frees and bad shooting, need to be eradicated if we are to be victorious next weekend.
The mentors would like to wish Fergus Wade, who was released from hospital on Sunday morning, a speedy recovery from injury. We also hope that all Magpie supporters will get behind our team for the County Final next Saturday in Kilbarry v Na Piarsaigh @ 4pm.
Scores for Midleton; Tommy O'Connell 0-05(4f), Ross O'Regan 1-01, Jake Shanahan 1-00, Sam Quirke 0-02, Ciaran Evans 0-01(f), Garry Carroll 0-01, Cian Murray 0-01;
