Midleton Hurling & Football Notes
Junior B Hurling Championship
Midleton 2-14 Ballinacurra 2-15
Our Junior B hurlers exited this year’s championship when they lost to Ballinacurra by a single point. This was the a second round tie for those who had lost their first round game. The game went ahead under lights in Rostellan on Thursday last. We were chasing the game for large periods and in the end came up just short. A big thank you to all the players and the management team of Gavin Power, Mick Tobin and Ger Lawton for their efforts this year. They have had a great run in this competition over the last number of years and have give the Club some great days out during that time.
All Ireland Hurling Final Replay
It was to be disappointment in the end for Cork Senior Hurlers on Saturday evening last after another memorable game. While we congratulate Clare on their win we must recognise the huge enjoyment and excitement this Cork team has given its supporters in 2013. The great efforts of the players and management team to get Cork to an All Ireland and to come up just short after the early season setback of relegation from the League must be acknowledged. Their great run also afforded a lot of our younger members an opportunity for some memorable days out be it in Limerick, Thurles or Croke Park. The Club would like to thank Conor, Luke, Patrick and Brian for their efforts this year.
For those who did not travel to Croke Park on Saturday evening the game was shown live in the Club. There was a good crowd in attendance and light refreshments were served. The Club would like to thank both Hurley’s Super Valu and The Boston Chipper who once again sponsored the refreshments which were served on the day.
Ladies Football All Ireland
Congratulations to Orla Farmer from Midleton Ladies Gaelic Football Club who added to her All Ireland medal tally on Sunday last when the Cork Ladies finished the stronger to snatch victory over a gallant Monaghan side.
Junior A Hurling Championship
Our Junior A hurlers are in action in the East Cork quarter final this coming Friday night when we play St. Ita’s in Killeagh at 8pm. Midleton were last in action on the 12th July when we overcame Erins Own to qualify for the quarter final. The other three quarter finals were concluded at the end of July. Now that the Cork senior hurlers have finished their campaign the games will all be run off quickly. The Junior management team have been endeavouring to play a number of challenge games to make sure they are ready for Friday evening.
Church Gate Collection
Midleton Hurling & Football Club held their annual Church Gate Collection this past weekend. The Club would like to thank all those who contributed to the collection for their generousity. Also a word of thanks to all those members who made themselves available to help out on the day.
Cork GAA Clubs Draw
The 22nd annual Cork GAA Clubs Draw was launched on Thursday September 19th at Áras Ráonaithe Nemo at 8.30pm. Over 250 representatives from clubs all over Cork attended.The Cork GAA Clubs' Draw plays an important role in the financing of Cork Clubs, the promotion and development of the county Coaching and Games Development structures and the County Board Grounds Development Fund.
A minimum €45 out of every €100 ticket sold is returned to the club of the purchaser. Clubs throughout Cork have benefitted by €18 million since the Draw began in 1992. These funds have been used for building development, all-weather pitch development, floodlight installation etc.
The draw fund also plays a huge role in funding the county's Coaching and Games Development Strategy. Each year €275,000 is spent on projects that are part of our Strategy Plan. These projects include Games Promotions, Developments Squads and grants to Under-Age and Schools and Third Level bodies.
The third strand to benefit from the Draw is the County Board's Grounds Development Funds. Ten per cent of the annual Draw profit is transferred to these funds. It is intended that the draw will play a major role in the raising of finance for the Pairc Uí Chaoímh re-development plan.
