HARD LUCK

Commiserations to Conor, Sam, Sean and Tommy on Cork’s National Hurling League Final defeat to Waterford in Semple Stadium on Saturday night last.

The Cork seniors begin their Munster Championship campaign on Sunday week against All-Ireland champions Limerick in Pairc Uí Chaoimh at 4pm. We’ve been notified by County Board of Midleton GAA getting a limited allocation of tickets for this game. We’re advising members to purchase tickets online where they can as we’re unsure as to when our allocation of tickets will be made available. Hopefully this will be in the next few days. Stay tuned to social media for more details.

 

WELL DONE

Congrats to our own Tadhg O’Leary Hayes and the Cork minor hurlers who got their Munster Championship campaign off to a winning start with a 3-25 to 0-11 win over Kerry in Tralee on Tuesday night. Tadhg even chipped in with a great point from corner-back. Cork are back in action next Tuesday night against Limerick in Pairc Uí Chaoimh at 7pm.

NO DOGS ARE PERMITTED IN OUR GROUNDS

Due to Health & Safety concerns all dogs (with the exception of Guide and assistance dogs) are prohibited at all times either on or off a lead from entering our grounds both at Park South and Clonmult Memorial Park.

Our club pitches are private property which are maintained for training and games and are NOT a public park for exercising dogs.

This has recently become a major issue for us particularly in our new facility at Park South with little respect being shown as dog poo has been identified almost everywhere. Please note that Dog fouling is an offence!!

We are currently very active with Training and games but these are now in danger of being cancelled due to this persistent problem and we now are appealing to our club members, neighbours and the general public to adhere to this request immediately. Thank you.
