Juvenile

New Magpies 2016
On Saturday last we welcomed  the latest recruits to Midleton Hurling and Football academy,  36 young boys turned up for their first introduction to what we hope will be a long and productive career with the magpies . Our first month will be spent in a fun based environment, through games the boys will be introduced to the fundamental motor skills required for sport and life.  Training will continue indoors until the spring, the boys will learn and develop basic skills before taking to the field.  We continue next Saturday, Midleton Community Centre, 12 o’clock for junior infant boy, all you need to bring is a helmet and enthusiasm.  

Fe 13
Midleton v Mallow, U13 Autumn Football League Rd 4.
The fourth and final  round of the Fe13 Autumn Football League v Mallow was played last Saturday at our home pitch, Pairc Ui Clonmult. We had another fantastic turnout of 24 players (2 were present but are carrying small injuries so better not to play) for this match. Conditions were perfect when the ball was thrown in at 3pm.
We started very brightly and had Mallow on the back foot. Unfortunately we were not getting any reward on the scoreboard for all of our good play. The closest we came was when Rory Hartnett rattled the crossbar with a close in shot. Mallow then started to take control of the game and they had a bit more luck on the scoring front. But just before the half time whistle was blown Liam McGrath kicked our only first and only score of the half.
The half time score was Midleton 0:01 Mallow 1-04.
The second half started with a Midleton attack when a great cross field ball from Evan Kelly found Ben O’Neill, who punched it first time but the Mallow keeper was in the right place to bring off a great save. Mallow then once again took control and scored two goals to put the game almost out of sight. But our boys are made of tough stuff. They responded with a superbly taken goal by Cian Murray, who at the end of a solo run dispatched the ball with great control to the back of the net. Then Shay Bohan collected a high ball on the edge of the large parallelogram and hit a cracking shot to the top corner of the Mallow goal’s. A third Midleton goal from Ben O’Neill when he finished the ball to the net with ten minutes to go gave a small chink of hope to the home team, but alas a fourth Mallow goal shortly afterwards did finish the game off as a contest. Our last scores - of the season - were points from Kane Rowlands and Shay Bohan.
The final score on the day was Midleton 3-2, Mallow 4-7.
After the final whistle was blown the action then moved to the Pavilion; all in attendance were treated to a cup of tea or coffee and some finger food. A special word of thanks to all parents to brought along the sandwiches and cakes. Also, a big ‘THANK YOU’ to the parents who helped to distribute the food and then the most important job of all: tidying up afterwards and leaving the Pavilion ready for the party that was taking place that evening.
Panel: B Saunderson, N. Corcoran, F Greenwood, R Spillane, N Fitzgerald, C Smyth, J O’Sullivan, L McGrath (0-01), A Quirke, S Bohan (1-01), E. McCarthy, C Murray (1-00), B O’Neill (1-00), E Kelly, R Hartnett, J Condon, A Fay, J O’Sullivan, J Spellman, K Rollins (0-01), K Barry & R Gies.

Fe 16
Our hurlers completed a unique double for 2016 when earlier today we added the Premier 1 Hurling League to the Hurling Championship we won earlier in the year.
We defeated Blarney in Delanys on a scoreline of 4-16 to 0-10.
We started slowly and shot four wides before registering our first score. At half time though we led by 1-11 to 0-5 and all but one Blarneys scores came from frees. Early in the second half we added another green flag and all the pressure was now on Blarney to get a few goals. This wasn't to be though and we piled on the pressure to score a resounding win and a unique Fe 16 double.
Team: Ryan O Riordan, Mark Daly, Christian Murphy, Alan Power, Cormac O Brien, Ciaran Evans, David Scanlon, Tommy O Connell, Kevin Finn, Kian Farmer, Evan Rowlands, Gary Carroll, Ross O Regan, Arthur Nganou, Jake Shanahan, Fergus Wade, Aaron Mulcahy, Sam Quirke, Ronan Lynch, Coleman Quinn, Cian Crowley, Sean O Sullivan, Cian Murray, Griffin Hurley, Craig Barry, Adam O Connell & Loic Nguefang.
