Fé15 Notes
2020 awards
Our awards for most improved players in 2020 at Fè14 have gone in hurling to Darragh Egan, Darragh has been making huge strides in training and in games year on year and has been given this award to reflect the ongoing improvement to a stage where he is now one of the first named players on the team sheet, a potent centre forward who always seems to come away with the ball, Darragh is a very stylish hard-working player who is an example to those around him.
Darragh Egan, most improved hurler, Fé 14 2020
Our football award has gone to Odhran Dennigan who has again made steady progress and has turned into a very stylish footballer with a sweet left peg. Odhran was one of the main contributors to the scoreboard in all the football games played in recent years and has improved to become one of the main forwards in our football team, a deserving recipient of his award. Well done on the awards lads and keep up the good work.

Condolences
Cumann Luthchleas Gael Mhainistir na Corann would like to offer our sincere condolences to Rita, Martin, Brian, Grainne O’Keeffe and their extended families on Ollie’s sad passing. Ollie was a lifelong member and supporter of Midleton GAA club and was one of the few surviving direct descendants of our great 1914/17 senior hurling team. Ollie’s father David O’Keeffe was a prominent member of this team and he passed his love of hurling to his sons all of whom played with the club. As well as playing, Ollie was also a most efficient club runai for many years in addition to acting as a selector on our County winning senior team of 1983 and other teams thereafter. He won an All-Ireland intermediate hurling medal with Cork in 1965 and was a selector on the Cork senior team of 1986, when along with five Midleton players, the Liam McCarthy cup was brought back to Leeside. He loved to come to the field to watch our teams train and play and often passed on some of his vast knowledge and experience of the game to club members. Another Magpie called to his eternal reward.
Midleton’s contribution to Cork’s 1986 All-Ireland victory including Ollie O'Keeffe RIP
The club would also like to sympathise with Pat and Mary Fox on the passing of their mother Ann. Pat junior and his family are very much involved in the club’s activities while his father, Ann’s husband Pat/Paddy, was another great Midleton GAA man and spent countless hours with the juvenile teams down the years.
