25th Anniversary of the New Stand Official Opening 3rd May 1992
The official opening of the ‘new stand’ by Iar Uachtarain Cumann Luthchleas Gael Mr. Con Murphy took place on the 3rd May 1992. The stand was blessed by Club President Canon Bertie Troy and the ceremonies were overseen by Club Chairman Patrick Horgan. The cost of the stand and the terracing around it came to £16,000. All the funding for this work was raised by the development committee including a lottery grant of £8000.
The first project undertaken by the development committee was the steps immediately outside the club pavilion and the building of that stand and new terracing at that side of the grounds concluded that phase of the project. The materials for the stand were supplied by local companies including Chadwicks, Muckley Tool Hire, Healy Bros, Ryan Plant Hire, Sheehy Bros, with Munster Steel providing the steel for the pillars and roof of the structure.

The official ‘opening’ of the stand was followed by a Senior Football challenge between Cork and Kildare. After the game the players were treated to a meal afterwards in the club pavilion, the cost of 82 dinners for all the players and officials coming to £556.00. The net income from the gate was £2,281 this money being used to pay for the work.

Other work carried out by the Development committee that year included a new press/video centre (across from the pavilion) and the clearing of the ground at the rear entrance to the grounds (near where the ball alley is now located). Events organised that year included the golf classic at which golfing great Christy O’ Connor senior gave a very well presented and received golfing lesson to all attendees. Christy O Connor was sponsored by Volkswagen at the time and his presence was organised by David Quirke of our present Golf classic sponsors Blackwater Motors. Two poker classics were also organised but as the returns from these were not great these were discontinued.  There was a very well received Cork Examiner photographic exhibition in the hall and a programme for Jimmy Magee’s Radio Sports quiz was also recorded in the hall. A Midleton team consisting of Ken Murray, Sean O Brien and John Slattery took on other teams in the competition but despite doing very well did not progress. This was a very popular programme at the time with Nemo Rangers doing particularly well over a number of series.
The committee also came across Film footage of the work being carried out on the development of Clonmult Memorial park and the official opening of the grounds in 1962. This film was owned by the late Paul Butler and after some initial reluctance on his part we managed to get some film from him and Brendan Barry transferred this on to a video tape.

Fe 12
Midleton 5-03 v Ballincollig 1-04
In the C3 League we had a fantastic day recently with a home game. Our lads started well with a fine opportunist goal by Zak Smith, five minutes later the nippy full forward struck again with a great catch at the edge of the square and a superb strike to the top corner of the net. Ballincollig piled on the pressure but with Darragh Aherne in flying form in goals and a strong full back line of Sean Cronin, Conor Williams (captain) and Rory Lester battling hard to keep Ballincollig at bay. Our midfielders Darragh Fitzgerald and Evan Mc Grath worked tirelessly in midfield covering every blade of grass on the pitch. They got a goal just before half time but the magpies went straight down the field and Larry Ward struck for a cracking goal to keep the pressure on. Daniel Shine and Alex Cahill were playing excellent up front continuously hassling their backs. Zak got a third goal and followed shortly with a point, Darragh Fitzgerald scored a fine point from a difficult angle keeping the magpies flying high. Our backs never gave up with Oisin Berdassa and Darragh Higgins clearing every ball that came their way. Liam O’ Neill struck for our final goal just on the final whistle. Overall a huge team effort and massive commitment by each and every player on the field, onwards and upwards, keep up the good work. 

Midleton 5-03 v Kilara 0-07
On a dreary Saturday afternoon we travelled to Araglen a football stronghold of North Cork. After traveling in large numbers the magpies started well with Darragh Scanlon getting in for a goal on the five minute mark. Kilara responded well with two great scores. Conor Williams and Alex Moloney were defending well and with great running work from Tadgh Bohane and Tadgh O’ Leary  we kept the pressure on with a Niall Lang goal and point followed quickly by points from Darragh Scanlon and Darragh Fitzgerald. The quick feet and thinking of Cian Lambe saw him through for a goal just before half time. 
A strong wind in the second half saw Kilara kick three unanswered points but when Cian got on the end of a ball there was no stopping him and he finished with a wonderful strike to the back of the net. Eoin Higgins and Evan Mc Grath worked tirelessly, and in the dying minutes Zak Smith got in for a lovely goal leaving the final score line 5-03 to 7 points. The mentors would like to think all the magpies and parents for travelling on the day. A huge performance by everyone well done all. 
Panel: Darragh Ahern, Oisin Berdassa, Tadhg Bohan, Oscar Brennan, Alex Cahill, Paul Connolly, Sean Cronin, Darragh Fitzgerald, Eoin Higgins, Alex Howard, Cian Lambe, Niall Lang, Rory Leister, Evan Mc Grath, Alex Moloney, Samuel Morrissey, Tiernan O Connell, Thomas O Connor, Tadhg O Leary, Cormac Ryan, Daniel Shine, Zak Smith, Larry Ward, Conor Williams and Darragh Scanlon.

Fe 15
We had a great win over Blackrock in the first round of the C3 Championship. Throughout the game Blackrock played with a lot of intensity and were better at taking their scores and got some very good points.

Team: Brion Sanderson, Christopher Leahy, Conor Hayes, Daithi Magen, Trevor Shine, Daniel Cagney, William O Sullivan, Aaron Coughlan, Ben Cummins, Nickey Hayes, Ryan Cahill, Conor Fitzgerald, Luke Deane, Darragh Crowley, Ollie Murray, Alex Pranger, Aaron Coleman, Jack McKay, Joshua Pennant, Kevin O Brien and Rory Lang.

Last Friday our hurlers travelled to Carrigaline to play Sars in the semi-final of the Premier 1 Hurling Championship. We knew facing this game that it was going to be a tough encounter. It started off fast with Sars taking some good scores. Half time came and we found ourselves down by five points. The second half started with the same intensity but Sars were better at taking their scores, at this stage we knew we could not catch up and they ran out winners on a scoreline of Sars 2-14 v Midleton 1-09.
Team: Brion Sanderson, Ciarmhac Smyth, Charlie Walsh, Conor Hayes, Gavin Reddy, Jack Fitzgerald, Patrick Kane, Leo Hennessy, Alex Quirke, Daniel Cagney, Darragh McCarthy, Conor Fitzgerald, Paul Connaughton, Ryan Cahill, Darragh Crowley, Ben Cummins, Luke Deane, Aaron Coughlan, Christopher Leahy, Nickey Hayes, William O Sullivan and Trevor Shine.
