Junior Hurling
On Sunday evening last fielding a team of youth and experience we had a fantastic victory over Bride Rovers in the first round of the East Cork Junior A Hurling Championship in Castlelyons.
The first half was very even early on but two goals from close in frees gave them a lead of 2-07 to 0-06 at the break. Some changes by us worked wonders for the most of the second half when a great goal from Cormac Beausang and fabulous points from Padraig O’Brien, Robert Williams and Padraic Nagle brought us level. A number of late missed opportunities looked to be costly when they broke to score a point with time almost up. With one last effort a huge free from Bryan Rossiter broke in the square and Padraig Nagle smashed the ball to the net. Referee Brian Murphy immediately blew the final whistle to the players and managements sheer delight. Well done to all involved.

Healthy Club Project
Sun Awareness -
With summer here at last and Midleton’s Cúl Camp starting shortly the Health & Wellbeing Committee invited John Murphy of Murphy’s Pharmacy to the club to speak about Sun Awareness.  John addressed a large audience made up of juvenile players and parents. He gave a very informative talk on how to take care in the sun advising the group on sun protection products and what factor to use at home and on holidays.  He also gave tips on how to deal with sunburn with prevention rather than cure being the message.  John told the juvenile members when and how to apply sun factor when they are playing games and training. Please see the Irish Cancer Society “Sun Smart” document which is very informative in the Coaching Corner on our website www.midletongaa.com


Our U14 hurlers recently won the regional Féile in Dublin and they were delighted to have their photo taken with John as Murphy’s Pharmacy is the jersey sponsor of this team.
Sincere thanks to John for giving up his time to speak in the GAA Club and if anyone has any queries or concerns then just pop into John and his team in Murphy’s Pharmacy.


Camogie
Under 13 Imokilly League
We got off to a great start with a win against Erin's Own in round 1 of the U13 Imokilly league. We dominated the match in the opening 20 minutes but found it hard to get the scores they deserved. Half time finished with Erin's Own ahead by a very small margin. A few changes in the second half secured 2 quick goals from us which was followed by a goal from Erin's Own. The girls defended well and there were great balls passed in from midfield with the forwards taking every chance they could to add to the scores.
The match ended with a well earned and well deserved win for us. This was a great start to the U13 Imokilly league campaign. If the girls continue to show this teamwork, determination & spirit throughout the league they will be a team to watch. Well done to all involved!! Team: Ella Murphy, Chloe Garde, Abby Purcell, Hannah Wall, Caoimhe Murray, Jodie Keegan-O'Connell, Orla Evans, Kim Moran, Caoimhe Cronin, Lily O'Connor, Aisling Kelleher, Holly Duggan, Rachel Mc Sweeney & Mia Tarrant.

Training
Friday evening and Saturday afternoon 92 girls across all the ages enjoyed a training session with a difference when they travelled to East Cork Adventure Centre swapping hurleys and sliotars for bow & arrows, and solid ground for swamp. They climbed, crawled, ran, swam, kayaking  and laughed their way around the course before drying off for the second half enjoying archery, aero ball, sumo wrestling & trampolining.  Thanks to all at the East Cork Adventure Centre for looking after our girls and ensuring they all had a great time.

Juvenile

Fe 12
Premier Hurling League Ballincollig 2-09 v Midleton 2-09
Our lads travelled to Ballincollig on Thursday evening (23rd) and played out a really tough and hard fought game, and came away with a precious point that may be important for the latter stages of the competition. Our backs are improving with every game, always first to every ball and for this game were very difficult to score against. Backed up by an excellent young keeper in Dara Fitzgerald, our full back line defended very well with Fionn Dalton shining throughout. Further out, the half backs cleared plenty ball, with Niall Lang always on top and supplying the forwards time after time.
Most of our forwards scored from play which is a huge positive in addition to their work rate,  constantly running, seeking scores or making it difficult for the opposition defenders. Highlight of the forwards was a second half score from Cathal Beausang, striking on the run from the left wing for a superb point.
Throughout the game, our lads battled and fought hard to secure the draw at the final whistle. Though the players were disappointed not to get the win, their attitude and approach gave huge satisfaction to their mentors. Two further hurling games remain – our target is to win both; a challenge these lads are more than capable of.
Panel: Dara Fitzgerald, Fionn Dalton, Brian O’Connell, David Green, Riain de Barra, David Cremin, Tiarnán Roche, Paul Curtin, Tadhg Bohan, Cathal Beausang, Dara Scanlon, Odhran Prenter, Niall Lang, Mikey Finn, Caolán Dennigan, Alex Moloney, Conor O’Shea,
Sean Fraser, Diarmuid Murphy & Ashley O’Meara.
