Senior Hurling Jubliee team
Last Sunday the Senior Hurling County winning team of 1991 were honoured at the County final in Pairc Ui Rinn. In advance of the game the team, wives and friends met up at the Temple Inn, Longboats Bar & Restaurant on the Blackrock Road for lunch.
The panel and selectors were led out onto the field after the Intermediate final by Ger Fitzgerald (captain) and Patrick Dunlea representing his father Paddy who was a selector and is currently in hospital. Finbar McCarthy introduced everyone to the crowd with special mentions for Kevin “the legend” Hennessy and Paddy Fitzgerald celebrating 50 years of his All Ireland success of 1966.

100 Years ago
In 1916 we defeated Shamrocks in the County Senior Hurling final by 4-00 to 3-02 to win our second title, the game was played on the 15th of October at the Cork Athletic Grounds.
The match was a hard fought close encounter with the lead changing hands frequently and in the end we were fortunate to secure victory by a single point.

Ladies Football
Midleton claimed the Phil McCarthy 7 a side tournament at Lisgoold for the second year.
Having being cordially invited back to Lisgoold to defend our title, the girls triumphed in a very entertaining and sporting 7 a side tournament played on Sunday 2nd October.
Four teams played in this year’s tournament, the hosts Mayfield and Cobh completed the fixture. The format was each team play each other in twenty minute games. We topped the group and with Lisgoold coming in a close second, both teams contested the final. They made us work hard for this one fighting tooth and nail for every ball. We were just too strong on the day and came out on top. This was a great way to end the year and we start building again for next session. Overall, this was a most enjoyable day and a superbly run competition. Again this year Lisgoold club could not have been better hosts with food and hot drinks available in the clubhouse. Well done and thanks to all who helped organise the event.

Midleton V Ballygarvan, U13 Autumn League Final.
We are currently on a good run of form. This game versus Ballygarvan was our third final this year. Having been successful in the other two (Premier 1 Hurling League Champions, C3 Hurling League Champions) we were hoping to make it three wins out of three competitions in the one season. Ballygarvan was the setting for the final leg of their trilogy of finals. The pitch and the weather were both perfect on last Saturday 8th October as both teams lined up for the game.
The match was only a couple of minutes old when Rory Hartnett registered our first point. Shortly afterwards Rory’s ‘stick work’ allowed him control brilliantly a long clearance and he then dispatched the sliotar with aplomb to the Ballygarvan net. Our dominance at this stage was being reflected on the scoreboard. Darragh McCarthy came thundering into the game with three excellently taken points. A Kelvin Barry point was followed by another point from Darragh McCarthy. The backline was contributing to this performance by not allowing the Ballygarvan forward line any latitude. Every time Ballygarvan attacked our  defence hassled and harried their opponents and so their forward line were finding it difficult to find the target.  Alex Quirke scored our final three points of the first half.
Half time score Midleton 1-10 v Ballygarvan 0-05.
The second half started with another Kelvin Barry point for the Magpies. Darragh McCarthy and Alex Quirke added one point apiece. Our final score of the game was a goal scored by Darragh McCarthy. The second half in particular will be remembered for some outstandingly disciplined and controlled defense. The blocking, hooking and clearances from our defensive unit was worth travelling to see alone and they all deserve great credit for their performance.
When the referee blew the ‘long whistle’ the Magpies were victorious on a score line of   Midleton 2-13 v Ballygarvan 0-09.
Panel: B Saunderson, J O’Sullivan, C Smyth, N Fitzgerald, E McCarthy, F Greenwood, A Fay, E Kelly, A Quirke (1-04) K Barry, D Codd, C Murray, P Magann, D McCarthy (1-05), R Hartnett (1-00),S Bohan, B. O’Neill,  R Spillane, A Fay, L. McGrath, N Corcoran & J Spellman.
As the hurling year is over it’s time to give great credit because of their many successes to the full panel of players as well as the U13 mentors: Gerry Smyth, Tracey Saunderson, Pierce McCarthy, Conor Murray, Dave Codd, Pat Hartnett and Vincent O’Neill.
