Senior Hurling Championship
Having defeated St Finbarrs in the fourth round of the Championship our senior hurlers are back in action this coming Saturday 5th of September in Pairc Ui Rinn v Douglas @ 6pm in the quarter final.
The management will be well aware of the very tough challenge which we face from Douglas having been defeated by them at the same stage last year.
We have been dealt a major blow with the loss of Conor Lehane through injury but this will give the opportunity for other players to stand up now.
We wish the panel, the manager Jerry and his fellow selectors the very best of luck in this winner takes all game.
Lets hope there will be a large vocal support for the Magpies on the day.

Report and team from last year below;
"Our fourth round Championship game v Douglas took place on Sunday last in Pairc Ui Chaoimh, unfortunately with the game level and three minutes left we conceded late scores to be defeated.
Despite the good start they got in the first half we settled well to lead at halftime by 0-08 v 1-09, but with almost ten minutes gone into the second half they had drawn level. In a frantic last ten minutes it was score for score with a draw looking the likely result only for the late rally by Douglas.
Our reign of County Champions is over for this year but the players and management can feel very proud of their efforts over the last number of months.
Final Score: Midleton 2-16 v Douglas 2-21
