Junior C Championship Round 1
Sunday 04th July 2021 vs Glanmire in Cobh
Glanmire 3-19 Midleton 0-02
On Sunday night we played Glanmire in the first round of the 2021 East Cork junior C football championship. On the night we had a much-changed side from the 2020 final owing to holidays and injury. The one thing that was present as always in this group was an honesty and endeavour right to the end. On the night we came up against an extremely strong and well drilled Glanmire outfit. They certainly will take some beating on the evidence of their display here. Well done to Liam McGrath and Ben O’Neill who made their championship debuts for the adult club and showed really well for the ball. Also, we must acknowledge a great display from Brian in goals who was in top form, making some outstanding saves. We will regroup after this heavy defeat and look to get back to winning ways in the next round in a couple of week’s time.
Team: Brian O’Sullivan, Jerome Curtin, Eoin Ferriter, Ryan Cahill (Captain), Brendan Ferriiter, Chris Power, Daniel Wathen, Alan Power, Adam Meade, Luke Deane, Ciarán Evans, Ben O’Neill, Liam McGrath, Davy O’Brien, Coleman Quinn.
Substitutes: Tosh Cahill and Diarmuid Ó Dálaigh
Junior C League Round 2
Friday 09th July 2021 vs Glenville in Midleton
Final score: Midleton 3-07 Glenville 3-12
This game was played on Friday night in damp conditions. Despite the gloomy weather and against the backdrop of the Midleton GAA bingo, both teams served up a very entertaining game of football. Well done to Daire Mooney, Colin Sunderland, Dan Cagney, Darragh McCarthy and Bríon Saunderson who all made their football debut for the adult side of the club. Also well done to William Casey, a new and very welcome member of the club. This game was played at a very high tempo and the ability of a youthful Midleton fifteen ensured that we were well up to the pace of the game. We picked off some great scores throughout the game but unfortunately Glenville were able to use their greater experience to finish the game strongly. Well done to all involved. We wish the junior A team the best of luck in their upcoming championship game. We now turn our attentions to the junior B championship game on Thursday 15th July vs Glenville at 7.45pm, venue tbc.
Team: Brian O’Sullivan, Jerome Curtin, Jan Haandrikman, Daire Mooney, Brendan Ferriter, Colin Sunderland, Ryan Cahill, Dan Cagney, Adam Meade, Luke Deane, Jack Fitzgerald, William Casey, Liam McGrath, Bríon Saunderson, Darragh McCarthy.
Substitutes: Ben O’Neill, Charlie Walsh and Niall McCarthy.
Camogie
Well done to Clara Rolston who excelled as captain for the U12’s against Rockban on Monday night 5th July where we travelled to Whitechurch for their fourth league game of the year. The girls put on a great display and came away with the win on a scoreline of 5:07 to 1:03. Thanks to Rockban for hosting us and to the parents for travelling in numbers and giving the girls great encouragement from the sidelines.

Junior League V’s Aghabullogue Monday July 5th
Midleton 1-10 Aghabullogue (Match abandoned after 40 Mins)
Unfortunately our trip to Aghabullogue had to be abandoned after 40 mins when one of the Aghabullogue players felt unwell and had to be treated on the pitch. Thankfully she will make a full recovery and we wish her and her team mates well for the rest of the year.
After a slow start we took a firm grip on the game and were beginning to take full control when the game was stopped. Rebecca Cassidy scored our goal and points from Sadhbh Beausang , Jodie Keegan O’Connell, Clara McCarthy and Lucy Wallis saw us into a commanding lead. A 3rd League win sets us up nicely for a tough trip to Kilbree on Wednesday next . Well done to all.
U14 Challenge Game V Killeagh
On Tuesday evening we invited Killeagh camogie to play us in a challenge match. From the first whistle it was definitely a challenge with Killeagh putting in some early scores and displaying some fantastic skills moving the sliotar to every corner of the pitch. Our goalkeeper Kate Griffin who also captained the team made some great saves and with a few quick puck outs set up a few scoring opportunities for our forwards who levelled the game, we brought on all our subs at half time with Mia Collins, Tia Wall Wallace and Sarah McConville keeping the skill levels up for the second half. In the second half the the two teams traded scores but Rebecca Cronin got a couple of great points towards the end and Midleton just edged it over a Killeagh team who we can see are making great progress under Manager Kieran and mentors, a big thank you to all who came and supported both teams, Barry Day for refereeing and we look forward to meeting Cloughduv at home on Saturday 17th July for our third outing in the league.

Juvenile
Fé11 Notes
No Rebel Óg games this weekend gave us the opportunity to accept an invitation to travel to Blackrock. Numbers were lower than usual due to holiday season, but the two teams of young Magpies played very well, in what turned out to be a close and hard-hitting game. Well done to all. Training and matches details will be communicated through text.

Fé13 Notes
Fé13 C3 HURLING V ST. FINBARRS
The third hurling match for the Fé13 C3 lads was another home appearance, this time against St. Finbarr’s on Tuesday July 6th last. This was a very tight match throughout, with only a single score between the teams on the night. Unfortunately, a couple of late scores from the visitors saw them take victory on the night with a final score of 2-07 to 2-08. The panel for the match was: David Kelly, Harry Waterman, Luke Bamber, James Carey, Patrick O’Dowd, Peader Egan, Fionn Bohan, Cuan Twomey (Captain), Jamie O’Donovan, Adam Spillane, Patrick Collins, Rian Casey, Ciaran Kelly, Ruairi O’Riordan, Rossa O’Connor, Michael Allegrini.

FÉ13 P1 HURLING V CARRIGTWOHILL
The final game in the initial Fé13 series of games was a short trip to Carrigtwohill on Friday evening July 09th. Despite the wet conditions the lads started well and went in at the water break just losing by a point on a score line of 0-03 to 0-02. However, the home team began to get on top and despite the lads refusing to give up, we were beaten by a better team on the night. The final score line of 9-14 to 1-03 does not do justice to the effort the lads put in with some gutsy performances in difficult circumstances on the night. The panel for the match was: Jack Walsh, Rian Casey, Harry Waterman, Jason Morley, David Kelly, Cian Lawton, Fionn Bohan, Senan Carroll, Cuan Twomey, Scott Dunlea, Max Murphy (Captain), Darragh Mullins, Patrick O’Dowd, Shane O’Mahony, Ruairi O’Riordan, Michael Allegrini, James O’Meara, Luke Bamber, James Carey and Patrick Collins.
