JUVENILE  NOTES

 

Fe 12
Our fourth game of the Premier  Football League was played on Saturday last against Ballincollig on a wild and windy afternoon in Ballincollig.They got into their stride very quickly and had us under pressure from the throw in. They registered a couple of scores very early on. But what typifies this group of young Magpies is their never say die attitude. We might have been under a little pressure for the first ten minutes of the game but then it all changed as we took over for the remainder of the first half. But because of a number of things, good Ballincollig defence, bad luck with shooting at goals and most particularly the strong wind we were unable to register any score. The half time score after playing against the wind was Ballincollig 3-03 Midleton 0-0.
The second half was owned by the Magpies and on numerous occasions we threatened to net a feast of goals. But it just was not to be. Ben O’Neill scored a cracker of a goal and Evan Kelly kicked a fine point. Other notable performances came from Brion Saunderson, Tomas Lambe, David Connolly, Darragh McCarthy, Evan Kelly and Evan McCarthy. Final scrore was Midleton 1-01 Ballincollig 4-05.
Midleton Panel: E. Kelly (0-1), R Gies, E McCarthy, N. Corcoran, F Greenwood, D Connolly, N. Fitzgerald, C Smyth, D. Codd, C Murray, D McCarthy, B O’Neill 1-0, R Hartnett, B Saunderson, T. Lambe, P McGann.

Fe 15
Our footballers had a very good victory (their first of the campaign) over St Finbarr’s in the Premier 1 Football League last Friday morning in Togher by 3-12 to 0-10. The game opened brightly with both teams getting a few points each. The Barrs though looked dangerous up front and with Midleton gifting a few frees for fouls on the ball the Barrs raced into a 0-5 to 0-2 lead after 15 minutes. Midleton then started to play direct football and scored 3-3 before half time. Two of the goals were as a direct result of great runs from midfield. Half time score was Midleton 3-5: Barrs 0-7.
Midleton played more controlled football in the second half and cut out the silly technical fouling that had yielded Barrs 5 of their 7 first half points. Both teams went point for point in the first ten minutes of the second half and Barrs were finding it hard to break down the Midleton rearguard to get the goal they needed to get back into the game. Time after time they were repelled by strong physical and fair defending. While we were soaking up pressure we alway threatened on the break and we proved to be the better team in the second half tacking on 0-7 to Barrs 0-3.
The final score was probably a bit flattering for Midleton but without question this was a deserved victory. Team: Jake Shanahan, Alex O Brien, Cormac O Brien, Adam O Connell, Kian Farmer, Kevin Finn, Griffin Hurley, Coleman Quinn, Cian Murray, Ross O Regan, Evan Rowlands, Ciaran Evans, Ronan Lynch, Ryan O Riordan, Dan Sheehan, David Scanlon, Gary Carroll.
