By the end of the third quarter we were 5-20 to 1-9 in front and by the final whistle it was 5-24 to 1-11.

FÉ12 V NEMO RANGERS

Our Fé12s were in action again away to Nemo Rangers for a league match on Sunday. The players tried hard and kept battling until the end as we were up against a strong Nemo side with the home team coming out with a win. Well done to all the girls involved. Thanks to our hosts, the referee, the coaches and all the supporters.

FÉ13 V FR. O’NEILLS/BLACKROCK

Our U-13s had a challenge match with Fr O’Neill’s in Ahavine on Wednesday evening. It was a good competitive game. The girls battled hard but came up short in the end. Thanks to O’Neills for a sporting game and to the parents for travelling.

Our second event of the week for this group we entertained Blackrock (bleow) for a challenge game on Sunday evening. The girls put on a great display with fantastic teamwork, super defending and some excellent scores. Well done to all!

FÉ18 V CLOUGHDUV

Midleton Fe18s played Cloughduv at home in a semi-final in Park South on a damp evening last Thursday. Cloughduv got off to a strong start but Midleton came back in to with a couple of great scores. The second-half was a physical affair and they played with fierce pride but unfortunately just ran out of time. A big shout out to our Fé15 girls who made their minor debuts, as they stepped up to help us out due to several different factors including injuries. Great credit is due to you all girls on a tough game. Well done to Cloughduv camogie on the win and best of luck in the final!
