CAMOGIE

FÉ11 V BALLINCOLLIG

Well done to the Fé11 girls for a fantastic team performance against Ballincollig at Park South. Lots of picking and striking all over the pitch and they never gave up, chasing, hooking, blocking and helping each other. All of the coaches are very proud of your continued improvements this season. Great work rate girls.

FÉ13 V SARSFIELDS

Our Fe13s were in Imokilly league action against Sarsfields Camogie at home in Park South on Monday evening last. It was a fabulous game of camogie with both teams giving it everything but unfortunately we came up just short in the end! Well done girls. Special mention to our captain on the day Kerrie who was excellent on the pitch and in leading her team.

CORK U-16S

Well done to our club player Isabelle Nestor (pictured above) who lined out in the red and white jersey for the Cork U-16s. They came up against a very strong Galway side last Saturday at Castle Road, Cork. It wasn’t to be their day with a final score of Cork 1-7 to Galway 6-3.

JUVENILES

FÉ10S V COURCEY ROVERS

Our lads travelled to Ballinspittle on Saturday Morning to play Courcey Rovers in Hurling.

This was our first Bus Rrip as a group and all 29 players were looking forward to the day out.

We divided the players into three groups and all three groups played three games each.

Our lads played very well on the day and got some great scores throughout each of their games.

We would like to thank Courcey Rovers for hosting us and looking after us with plenty of refreshments in their clubhouse afterwards.

It was great day out and hopefully it will be the first of many bus outings for this group (below).

FÉ12 FOOTBALL

Our Fé12 Group 5 football team took ok Kilworth Araglen Og this week and after a fierce battle it was the men from North Cork that just shaded the verdict by two points on a final score of 1-7 to 1-5.

FÉ13 V BALLINCOLLIG

Our Fé13 entertained Ballincollig at Clonmult Memorial Park on Saturday and after a great game of hurling it was the young Magpies who came out on top on a final score of 5-12 to 2-5. Well done lads on a great win.

FÉ15 V CARRIGALINE

Our Fé15s had another great win this week when they took on Carrigaline in the Rebel Og Coiste Fe15 Premier 1 Hurling League. The final score was Midleton 2-21 Carrigaline 2-7. Good stuff lads.

GAELSCOIL VISIT

There was great excitement at the Gaelscoil Mhainistir na Corann this week before they finished up for the summer holidays as they received a visit and some expert training from Midleton and Cork seniors, Tommy O'Connell, Sam Quirke (in the picture below) and Orlagh Farmer.
