O’Neill’s and again this was a very competitive match with very little between the sides.  The final match was against Sars and our girls again kept up the work rate and the intensity throughout.  Three great matches and three solid performances from this group of girls.  Thanks to Aghada for hosting and their hospitality and to all the clubs who attended for 3 sporting matches.

Huge congratulations to Gaelscoil Mhainistir na Corran on reaching the Sciath na Scoil  Camogie for the first time in the school’s history  and to the fourteen girls from Midleton Camogie Club on the panel. Unfortunately the results did not go our way on the day but the girls put in an outstanding performance and were unlucky to come out behind on the final whistle.  To Emma Domeney, Jill NíConnactáin, Rachel NicSuibhne, Ruthi Ní hAonghusa, Rachel Ní Riain, Abbie Ní Fhoghlú (C), Emily Ní Luain, Aoife Nic Gearailt, Elle Nic Mháinis, Aisling Ní Neachtain, Rebecca Ní Chrualaíoch, Ciara Ní Neachtain, Ríonach Ní Fhinn, Muireann Ní Chonchubhair your club, coaches & teammates are proud of what you have achieved. 

Sciath na Scoil  DC1 Camogie  - Gaelscoil Mhainistir na Corann 
The Sciath na Scoil 2017 campaign for Gaelscoil Mhainistir na Corann started back in March when Midleton played Glounthaune N.S.  at home, the girls got off to a flying start winning their first match.  Next was Innishannon away, the opposition put it up to them on this occasion but the girls pulled through to get a second win on the road to the final.  Their third match was against their strongest opponents and the team they would eventually go on to meet in the final, Gaelscoil Dúglaise.  It was an evenly matched game with both sides giving their all but GS Dúglaise were the stronger team on the day.  The  final two matches were against Carrig na bhFear away and Belgooly at home, with a win in both matches placing them second in the group  securing a place  DC1  final on Monday 22nd May @12.45pm in CIT Sports Grounds.
The girls along with their coaches Múinteoir Aisling, Múinteoir Criostóir and Brendan Foley put in great work in preparing for the final. Extra training sessions and a visit from local Cork Camogie star “Orla Cotter” with words of advice made sure the girls were prepared for the great task ahead.  With huge support from their schoolmates, teachers, family and friends the girls lined out on the pitch in CIT last Monday ready to give it their all and that’s exactly what they did!  There was nothing between the two sides throughout the first half of the match and scores were hard to come by!  A goal from a 45 in the second minute put GS Dúglaise ahead but GS Mhainistir Na Corann came back with two excellent points from play which meant they trailed by one point at half time.  In the second half scores were no easier come by a point from play for GS Mhainistir Na Corann meant the sides were level with ten minutes to go.  The strong defence, work rate in midfield and sheer determination of the forwards meant GS Mhainistir Na Corann were still in with a great chance up until eight minutes from the end when GS Dúglaise scored their second goal which broke from a melee in front of the goals.  The final whistle blew with a result of GS Douglas 2-0, GS Mhainistir na Corann 0-3. The girls put their heart & soul into this match and every match throughout the Sciath na Scoil competition.  This was a great achievement for this group of girls as it is the first time Gaelscoil Mhainistir na Corann has reached the Sciath na Scoil Camogie Final, but it most certainly will not be the last!  Every one of the twenty five girls on the panel played a part in getting this team to the final and they represented their school and their clubs admirably throughout.

Juvenile

Fe 9
A busy week this for the lads and they turned out in great numbers, 38 for hurling and 33 for the football. First up was a few cracking hurling games with Douglas in Midleton.  End to end encounters with less than three points separating the teams in each of the three games . All very enjoyable games for the big attendance.  Well done for giving their all in each game. Second up was football games v Cobh on Sunday morning. Again the sun shone and the lads entertained with some great scores, goals and points with us coming out ahead  in the games.

Fe 11
Youghal was the venue last Saturday for our  latest Football league match, we played the hosts in a two match format on an excellent surface.  Despite the earlier heavy rain it remained dry but slightly breezy for the duration of the matches.  Both games were of the highest quality, with one win and a narrow loss we came away with a draw.  Well done to the   twenty five players who togged out on Saturday. Thanks to Youghal and their young whistlers for hosting us. We take a break from competitive action next weekend and return to hurling v Blackrock the following weekend.

Fe 12
On Friday evening the Barrs travelled to Midleton in what turned out to be a cracking game of hurling by both sides. They started strongly going 1-02 to no score within the first five minutes of the game however the magpies rallied and Darragh Fitzgerald was in flying form knocking over three points in a row keeping us in the game. Conor Williams, Darragh Higgins and Rory Lester were battling hard to keep the bars forwards at bay. The score at half time was 2-05 to 0-05 in favour of the Barrs.
A strong team talk at half time saw the magpies burst into life for the second half two quick goals one from Evan Mc Grath and a second from Alex Howard turned the game for us.
With Darragh Fitzgerald covering every blade of glass on the pitch putting in a man of the match performance slotting over another three points followed on with points from Darragh Scanlon and Tadhg Bohane. Zach Smith was very efficient with his quick puck outs. The game came down to the wire with less than a minute to go the Barrs got a free at the edge of the box and were two points down. Five brave warriors stood on the line and when Darragh Scanlon blocked a rocket of a shot and also cleared it out the wing, the ref blew the final whistle. This was a wonderful game of hurling and was enjoyed by all who attended so much so that the lads were clapped off the pitch by the large crowd of supporters after the game. Once again the mentors would like to thank this great bunch of lads and really appreciate everyone's commitment to the team. Also the parents support on the night was greatly appreciated. Panel on the night was Tiernan O Connell, Darragh Scanlon, Tadhg Bohane, Alex Howard, Eoin Higgins, Liam o Neill, Oscar Brennan, Sean Cronin, Zach Smith, Darragh Higgins, Tadhg O’ Leary Hayes, Rory Lester, Daniel Shine, Alex Cahill, Adam Collins, Alex Moloney, Evan Mc Grath, Darragh Aherne, Darragh Fitzgerald, Niall Lang, Cian Lambe, Conor Williams, Cormac Ryan, Diarmuid Murphy, Oisin Berdassa, Samuel Morrissey & Thomas O’ Connor.
