Junior B Football 2021 Championship Round 1
Thursday 15th July 2021 vs Glenville
Midleton 1-06 v Glenville 3-17
On Thursday night we travelled to Glenville to play the home team in the first round of the junior B championship. In our first-year fielding three championship football teams we were tight on numbers but not on enthusiasm and endeavour. With fielded a team with three minors, four nineteen-year-olds along with several more experienced players on the night and to a man everyone fought right to the end against a very strong Glenville team including Cork star Shane O’Regan. Glenville raced into an early lead and it took Midleton a little while to gel as many of these players had not played together before. As the game wore on the Midleton players really started to find their feet and through some wonderful defending and great saves did their best to keep Glenville at bay. Midleton fought right to the end and scored a cracking goal in the second half through Ben O’Neill. Well done to everyone who togged out and gave their all on the night. We now move on to play Glanmire in round two on Friday 23rd July.
Team: Brian O’Sullivan (Captain), Coleman Quinn, Eoin Ferriter, Daniel Wathen, Brendan Ferriter, Gavin Reddy, Colin Sunderland, Adam Faye, Darren Quirke, Andrew Rea, Liam Kelly, Liam McGrath, Tim O’Sullivan, Jerome Curtin and Ben O’Neill.

Fé13 Notes
Fe13s were out twice this week on P2 football. Firstly out on Tuesday with a very good team performance in beating Kilta óg in Castlemartyr. The second game was a home game versus carrigtwohill which we lost. Lots holidays and few injuries as well at the moment so good opportunities for others to get good game time. Best wishes to Jack Walsh who picked up a nasty wrist injury unfortunately.

U11 Notes
U11 Camogie V Youghal
Our U11 Camogie team travelled to Youghal on Thursday evening for a friendly game. The players played their absolute hearts out for this evening’s game which was played in warm and sunny conditions.
We started out slow but by the time the 2nd and third games started we were in full flow and really working as a team up and down the field. A great group of ladies who have a never say die attitude and fought for every ball on the field today. Their determination alone is a pleasure to watch as are the skills they are developing with each week they are playing. Super proud performances by each player. A big thanks to Youghal camogie for hosting and well done to all the players and coaches and the families for cheering the players on. Up the magpies.

U14 Notes
U14A Camogie V Cloughduv League Rd 3
On Saturday 10th July we hosted Cloughduv in the final group game of the league needing a draw to top the group. The teams started well and matched each other with goals and points but a special mention goes to our forward Tia Wall Wallace who with her back to goal reacted quickly to a Kate O Sullivan shot and flicked the sliotar into the back of the net with the deftest of touch, a quality finish befitting a great game. The Midleton girls came out for the second half and raced into an eight point lead with Rebecca Cronin and Sarah McConville putting in star performances up front as well as Sophie Wall and Chloe Griffin being solid at corner back. We could only make one change for the last quarter as we were down quite a few players for this game. Our girls tried to maintain the fast pace but tired towards the end and although captain Mia Collins led by example all credit was due to Cloughduv who came back strong to get a goal in the last couple of minutes to take a one point lead only for Tia to pop over a great point from a narrow angle to see the match end in the draw we needed. This was a fair result where no team deserved to lose and the final score was
Midleton 3-8
Cloughduv 5-2
A big thank you to Cloughduv’s management team of Stuart and fellow mentors, Ger Sheehan for refereeing and the big crowd who came out to support the girls.
We the coaches would like to wish our regular centre back Pippa Hennessey a speedy recovery and we look forward to seeing you soon back on the pitch in the black and white jersey.
