Well done to all the Fé8 boys who took to the field across five teams on Saturday 24th July last in extremely hot conditions to play Carrigaline in the latest football GO GAMES.

Thanks to all the parents and friends who came to support the lads and thanks to Carrigaline who made the journey.

FÉ9 NOTES:
Our lads travelled to Togher on Saturday to play St Finbarr’s in both Hurling and Football games. Our numbers were slightly down due to a lot of folk away on holidays but the 22 young lads we took were absolutely magnificent in all their games each in both Hurling and the Football. We played 2 Hurling and 2 Football matches and the lads got great scores in each of their matches. We would like to thank the parents of this group for there continued support and for making the trip to Togher. We also would like to thank St Finbarr’s GAA for hosting us. Training will continue on Wednesday evenings.

U15 P1 HURLING CHAMPIONSHIP
Saturday in Clonmult Park, saw us take on Glen Rovers. Conditions were very difficult for both teams, stifling heat definitely affected the players from the start but they still managed to put on a full blooded affair, Midleton drew first blood with a pointed free and thereafter the Glen took the lead, but we drove on and led at the water break 1-05 to 0-4.
The match was being played at a blistering pace by halftime we had stretched our lead 1-11 to 1-05.
The start of the second half saw a Glen player receive a red card. The numerical advantage was always going to be important with the conditions almost unbearable for the players. Our defence was very disciplined and deserve great credit for the way they defended as a unit. The second water break was most welcome and we had increased our lead again 2-13 to 1-08.
As expected the Glen threw everything at us in the last fifteen minutes and found the net twice as the clock ticked [slowly] down, we responded well to the challenge. This quarter saw two players one from each side receive red cards in what was a tempestuous last 15 minutes. Final score Midleton 2-19 Glen Rovers 3-12.
A fantastic win and performance in a must win game, great credit to every player for contributing hugely towards the end result. Next up is Sars on Sat 7th.

The U12’s were in Ballygarvan recently for their final phase 1 group game. The girls dug deep and came away with the win against a strong Ballygarvan side in very hot conditions. Well done to the girls who top their group and now look forward to phase 2.
Congratulations to Ciara Hynes who made some fantastic saves as she captained the U12’s to victory against Ballygarvan on Saturday evening!

Ladies Football Notes
U14 League
Our U14A had a draw vs Rockbán in the club on Wednesday evening. Well done to the girls for digging deep in difficult playing conditions as they also had to battle the elements of the weather. Once again thank you to the Parents for the support on the sideline. This team have two league matches coming up in the next few weeks.
U16 League
Our U16 Ladies travelled to Glanmire on Monday evening for their final league match which has now seen us qualify for the league playoffs. It was a tough game from the start and we took a while to find our stride. The girls gave each other great encouragement at the half time break and started to play to their potential in the second half. Even though the result did not go our way on the night we can take some great positives from the game. Well done everyone.
