Ladies Football
Fe 12  - Midleton 2-10 v Cloyne 0-07
The Fe 12 girls football panel were in action again this week. They made the short trip to Cloyne on Saturday morning last to face Cloyne. The pitch and overhead conditions were perfect for the match. These two teams served up a cracking game of Gaelic Football. From the start our forwards were into their stride. Aoife Fitzgerald, Cara Foley, Saoirse Ni Theangana, Ava McAuliffe, Lily Kelly and Kelly Quirke gave a very accomplished performance throughout the first half. The defence of Isobel Nestor, Rosin Crotty, Amy Murray & Sile O’Leary Hayes were very brave when confronted by a skilful Cloyne forward line. The half time score had us ahead on the scoreboard.
The second half brought different Midleton players to the fore. Gill Connaughton, Clara Collins, Grainne Finn, Ellen O’Neill, Sadhbh Hartnett and Aisling McCarthy all put in stellar performances. We took the spoils on this occasion but Cloyne put up a very good performance and I’m sure there will be tougher games between these two teams in the future.
Panel: Gill Connaughton,Sadhbh Hartnett, Aisling McCarthy,Ellen O’Neill, Aoife Fitzgerald, Cara Foley, Ava McAuliffe, Lily Kelly, Kelly Quirke, Isobel Nestor, Rosin Crotty, Amy Murray,  Sile O’Leary Hayes, Saoirse Ni Theangana, Clara Collins & Grainne Finn.

Many thanks to the parents who came to the club this week to register. It is very important that girls are registered to play and train. Please ensure that you return membership forms to Team Mentors. There will be no training tomorrow night due to the Bank Holiday.
Training will return next Monday night to the Tech Pitch from 6-9pm.
Congratulations to some of our team mentors and parents who ran in today's Cork City Marathon.
Best wishes and Good Luck to all those who are sitting their Junior and Leaving Certificate next week.

Camogie
Fe 10 - On Saturday morning last we hosted a Blitz in Ballinacurra. There was a great turn out of both players and supporters. We had over thirty young magpies participating; we played Castlemartyr, Aghada, Youghal and Killeagh.  The work put in during training and the skills practiced was reflected on the day, all of the girls performed excellently and were very competitive throughout all the games. Well done to all the girls involved. Thanks to the clubs that travelled. A special word of appreciation to Keith for all the effort put in to organising the day. Thank you to Brian Gleeson and Denis Kelleher for referring the matches.

Fe 12 - Our first U12B League match had us up against Blackrock in Ballinacurra on a beautiful evening Tuesday last. The conditions were perfect for the match with little or no wind. We started slowly and conceded an early goal but rallied with two goals of our own and swapped scores for the remainder of the first half to be leading at half time by 3-01 to 2-0. We pressurized the Rockies goal early in the second half and were it not for the upright and fine defending we would have increased our lead, however the Rockies levelled the match with ten minutes to go and scored a couple of late goals to give them victory 5-01 to 3-01. Well done to all involved.

Fe14 & Fe16 - Best of luck to Lucy, Aine, Rayanna, Grace and Ellen in their upcoming Junior Cert exams from all your squad, mentor and club, we are looking forward to having you back training and playing soon.
To Hannah we wish a speedy recovery on her recent injury.

Juvenile

Fe 12
On a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon our C3 s put in a great performance against Valley Rovers. We started well with a goal from full forward Larry Ward, this was followed up with points from Conor Williams and Zach Smith leaving the half time score at Midleton 1-02 to Valley Rovers 0-02.
After half time Rovers got a quick goal leaving it all square, our half back line worked tirelessly in the second half keeping them at bay. Darragh Fitzgerald slotted over two points keeping up the pressure on them. All in all it was a great performance by all the panel and once again the mentors would like to thank all the players involved.
Panel Darragh Aherne, Oscar Brennan, Darragh Higgins, Thomas O Connor, Sean Cronin, Evan Mc Grath, Adam Collins, Alex Howard, Eoin Higgins, Oisin Berdassa, Conor Williams, Cormac Ryan, Zach Smith, Larry Ward, Andrew Burke, Daniel Shine, Liam O’ Neill, Alex Cahill, Rory Lester, Darragh Fitzgerald & Samuel Morrissey.

Fe 14
Premier 1 Football League: Midleton 3-06 v St Finbarrs 0-08.
Our footballers traveled to Togher on Monday last to play St Finbarrs in the league. In the last couple of years we have always given a good account of ourselves in this fixture but ended up just on the wrong side of the score line. This year after giving a reasonably good account of ourselves in the Feile Football we travelled with a little bit more confidence than previous trips to Togher. A few of our players were tied up with exams so a number of Fe 13 footballers stepped into the breach. To their credit each one of these players contributed handsomely to our performance on the night.
Cian Murray opened our scoring with a point. This appeared to settle the team and for the next twenty minutes we dominated proceedings. Ten minutes into the game a deft pass from Rory Hartnett found Cian Murray on the edge on the square and with great coolness our captain finished his shot low into the net. Then the Magpies won a penalty and a brave shot from the effervescent Mickey Finn just went the wrong side of the post. A Ben O’Neill point was followed by one from Tiernan Roche. The Magpies finished off the half with two fine points from Ben O’Neill. Half Time Score: Midleton 1-05 v St Finbarrs 0-02.
St Finbarrs dominated proceedings for the first ten minutes of the second half. But because of incessant pressure from the Magpies backs St Finbarrs were reduced to a lot of long distance shooting. Darragh McCarthy, Ciarmhac Smyth, Shay Bohan, TJ Deady and particularly Brian O’Connell (who made one outstanding save) maintained our goal intact. Meanwhile at the other Evan McCarthy registered his first score of the evening, a point from play. Our final two scores of the game were the icing on the cake. First Brion Saunderson sent a rocket shot to the back of the Barrs net. Then with only two minutes left in the game and after a sustained period of Midleton pressure Cian Murray pounced on a ball that had ricochet back from the Barrs goalkeeper to score his second goal of the game.
Final Score: Midleton 3-06 v St Finbarrs 0-08.
Midleton: Brian O’Connell, TJ Deady, Shay Bohan, Neil Fitzgerald,  Cathal Beausang, Brion Saunderson, Ciarmhac Smyth, Darragh McCarthy, Ben O’Neill (0-03), Evan McCarthy (0-01) Rory Hartnett, Cian Murray (2-01), Darragh Codd, Fintan Greenwood, Tiernan Roche, & Mickey Finn.

Fe 16
There will be no training this Wednesday as the Exams will commence, the team management would like to wish all the Fe15 & 16’s the very best of luck with their exams.
