Camogie
Thanks to all who attended our AGM on November 14th where an overview of the year gone was outlined in the chairpersons and secretary report.  Our membership increased by 30% on the previous year with players training playing and competing from under 6 to under 15. Training continued throughout the year from February to November inclusive with the Under 12’s - Under15’s training twice a week.  The club participated in Go- Games up to and including U10 and competitive league in U12, U13, U14, and U15.  We look forward to participating at U16 level in 2017. We currently have girls representing Midleton on both Imokilly and Cork Panels at U13, U14, U15 levels which is a great achievement for a cub in its  3rd year in existence.
This year we held a very successful summer camp, participated in what have become an annual fixture in Midleton’s calendar, the Veronica Stack Memorial Tournament in Killarney and held our own inaugural Clonmult Cup and Shield Tournament,  a  mixed age tournament for  u12-u15’s . Currently our U13-U15 are taking part in a physical development programme this will continue for another four weeks.
It wasn’t all hard work in 2016...   off the field we participated in the St Patricks day parade, hosted an open training session for Cork Senior Camogie Team, travelled  again to Croke Park for the All Ireland Camogie Final, all age groups were invited to attend a team building afternoon at East Cork Adventure centre   and we are looking forward to end of year social. There was also a significant increase in our number of coaches this year, we would like to thank them for their time and commitment to the girls and to the development of the club. As the numbers of players grow we will need even more help on the coaching front any parents who would like to help out are most welcome and can contact any of the current coaches or committee to express their interest. Over the winter month we will be organising coaching courses and workshops.
We would like to thank Midleton GAA Club for the continued support we receive including the use of all the facilities without this we would not be able to provide Camogie to the girls of Midleton. We would like to thank Arthur Murphy who steps down from position on vice chair for the coming year and acknowledge his contribution to the committee in the past year. The following club officers are elected for the coming year:
Chairperson: Denis Kelleher, Vice Chairperson: Stephen Ivers, Secretary: Darina Foley, Assistant Secretary: Brian Gleeson, PRO Sheila Kelly, Treasurer: Rachel Walsh, Registrar: Shirley Garde, County Board Delegate: Keith Griffin . The Children’s Welfare Officer and Coaching Officer are both positions that are appointed by the committee rather than elected and will be appointed at the next committee meeting. We register for 2017 in mid January. Follow us on facebook and twitter, any inquiries to 087 6222916.

Ladies Football
Midleton to contest East Cork Minor Plate Final
After a pulsating semi-final against Rockban played in Whitechurch this Saturday, the Midleton overcame a tough challenge from a very good Rockban footballing team.
Midleton 11:07 v Rockban 5:12
As Rockban had only 12 players, we had to reorganise the team and matched their 12. This was a fabulous game of football played in near perfect conditions. This game was much closer than the scoreline suggests. We went behind by 1:3 to 1 point in the first fifteen minutes with Rockban playing some great attacking football, and only for Kate Mary between the posts could have been much worst. She disrupted the Rockban attack on several occasions. We found it difficult to cover back from their kickouts. As the game progressed we begun to find our way and started to get a hold on the game. A great goal from Rayanna brought us into the game and went in at the break one point up. Midleton 3:4 v Rockban 2:6
The second half was very much nip and tuck we were dominant in the first ten and last ten minutes with Rockban controlling the middle ten. In Rockbans period of dominance they brought a four goal deficit back to a single goal. Moving Abby to full forward turned the game in Midleton’s favour and a couple of goals in that period saw us through.
This was a game played in a very sporting competitive manner with both teams giving it their all. The reward for us is a place in this year’s final which is provisionally fixed for Wed 23th November in Killeagh against Inch. This will be a repeat of last year’s final where we were well beaten. But one never knows how a final goes, it will be a good way to end the season.
Team: Kate-Mary Cullinane, Ciara Stack, Caoimhe Morrison, Ellen Ryan, Lizzie Phiri, Deirdre Corcoran, Lucy Wallace, Síomha Walsh, Abby Quirke, Sadhbh Beausang, Rhea Buckley, Molly Beausang, Laura O'Leary, Ali Smith, Rayanna Power, Lucy Kenneally & Roisín O'Callaghan.

Reminder that the Ladies Football AGM is on Wednesday Nov 30th at 7.30pm in the Midleton Gaa Club. All Parents are most welcome to attend.

Training continues for all age groups. U8’s are in the Community Centre from 6-7pm while the U10’s upwards are at the Hockey Pitch from 7-8pm.

Healthy Club Project
On Saturday 19th of November the Cork County Board Health & Wellbeing Committee held a very successful Forum in St Finbarr’s Hurling & Football Club.  The reoccurring theme for the day was “community”.  GAA President Aogán Ó Fearghaíl spoke about the importance of the GAA within communities, he said the GAA is all about people and that is why Ireland is the only country in the world where the native sport is the choice of the majority, he said people matter and that is why we must look after our health and wellbeing.  The four Cork Healthy Clubs Midleton, St Finbarr’s, Killeagh and Castlehaven gave a brief presentation on their Healthy Club Project journey thus far.  Majella Canty gave a talk on the Samaritans who are GAA partners, she said that “life is worth talking about and there is always someone to talk to”.  The Samaritans can be contacted 24/7 on 116123 – this is a free phone number.  Aoife O’Brien representing the National Health & Wellbeing Committee informed the forum that the healthy club project was awarded for Corporate Social Responsibility at the Sports Industry Awards.  The forum finished with talks from Conor Cusack who spoke very passionately about emotional well-being and Tracy Kennedy gave an emotional and extremely honest talk on her own personal health challenge.  Congratulations to Janas Harrington and the Cork County Board team for a organising such a great event.

Juvenile

Fe 13
Fe13s Season Summary: We had our final get together for the 2016 season last Wednesday night when we gathered for a training session at Midleton’s Pairc Ui Clonmult. This panel of Young Magpies have had a very enjoyable year; their dedication, discipline, and all round approach to the season has made it very easy for their coaches and they have been great ambassadors for our club.  We have had superb player numbers at all of our training sessions and games throughout a long season. This panel has also been fortunate enough to collect some silverware along the way…
Hurling: We participated in three hurling competitions. The Fe 13 Premier 1 Hurling League, the Premier C Hurling League and the Autumn Hurling League. With some skill, commitment and a little bit of luck we came out on top in all three competitions. I will not single out any one player as each and every member of the panel contributed in a big way to our success in hurling. In the finals we overcame Douglas, Ballincollig and Ballygarvan. Football: We participated in two football competitions. The Fe 13 Premier 1 Football League and the Autumn Football League. We have had some significant wins throughout the year; beating Nemo Rangers in Trabeg and Douglas at home are the ones that come to mind. A number of games were lost in both leagues by just one score and as a result of these we were unlucky in both competitions not to qualify for the semi-finals. Steady progress has been made in football and we will continue to aim high…
In Summary: We as coaches (Gerry Smyth, Pierce McCarthy, Conor Murray, David Codd, Pat Hartnett, Vincent O’Neill) want to thank the players and their parents for their support throughout the year. Finally, just to let you know plans are already being put in place for what I’m sure will be another enjoyable year in 2017…
