SENIOR HURLERS

We began the defence of our Cork County Senior Hurling Championship on Friday night in Pairc Uí Rinn when we took on Douglas in front of a fine crowd.

After a slow start we roared into the game and by the 18^th minute we had come from four down to lead by two – 0-10 to 0-8.

Douglas took over again in the second quarter and at the sound of the referee’s half-time whistle we trailed by three on a scoreline of 0-16 to 0-13 after an entertaining first-half.

There was little change in the opening ten minute of the second-half but then Douglas struck for the opening goal of the game and with ten minutes to play we trailed by six, 1-22 to 0-19.

A great goal by Luke O’Farrell brought us right back into it but a second Douglas goal put them in the driving seat again and at the final whistle they had four points to spare on a final scoreline of 2-24 to 1-23.

In the other game in our group, Newtownshandrum got the better of Katurk on Saturday night.

Next up for us is a round two clash with Newtown in Pairc Uí Rinn on Saturday next at 5pm. It is the first game of a double header with Blackrock v St Finbarrs following it.

INTERMEDIATE HURLERS

Our intermediate hurlers opened their championship campaign on Saturday in Castlemartyr when they faced East Cork neighbours Aghada.

A James Nagle goal ensured that the sides went in level at the short whistle, 1-9 to 0-12 and after a very tight second-half it was Aghada who just edged it as they came out on top by two points on a score of 0-19 to 1-14.

We’re back in action on Sunday next and it’s another East Cork derby as we will face Lisgoold in Carrigtwohill at 3pm.

JUNIOR C FOOTBALL

Midleton 2-13 Glanmire 1-8

On Tuesday we played Glanmire in the junior football division three league in Midleton. 

On a lovely calm evening for a match, we played some great football and took some excellent scores. At half-time the score read 2-6 to 0-6. On the changeover Glanmire tried hard to get back on level terms but due to some excellent defending and continued attacking play we were comfortable winners in the end. We had some new players involved which was fantastic to see and thank you to everyone involved. This concludes our league fixtures and we look to prepare now for our championship group games against Cobh and Carrigtwohill respectively.

CAMOGIE

FÉ9S V SARS

Sars hosted our Fe9s last Saturday. We played a blitz of four games. Two against our hosts and two versus Carrigtwohill. The girls braved the wind and rain without giving up. They all played so well and gave it every effort. They played their hearts out to the final whistle. Up the Magpies.

FÉ17 V AGHADA

Our U-17 panel travelled to Rostellan for a challenge match against Aghada on a very warm Sunday last. We played the full panel consisting of 15, 16 and 17 Year  old girls and put in a strong performance to come out on top. The girls then took advantage of the fabulous weather by jumping off Aghada pier for a post match cool down. Well done to all involved.

JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP V CARRIGTWOHILL

Midleton 3-15 Carrigtwohill 0-3

We began our Junior Championship campaign in Carrigtwohill. After a sluggish first-half performance where we led 1-6 to 0-3 at half-time. We were much improved in the second-half and ran out comfortable winners 3-15 to 0-3. Emma O’Sullivan top scored with 2-2 from play, closely followed by Sadhbh Beausang who hit 1-3. Leah Hogan and Yvonne Abernethy were outstanding in the back line, ably assisted by Meghan Kelly, Ruthie Hennessey and Molly Beausang on her Championship debut. Next game is at home to Buttevant on Friday, August 5.

JUVENILES

FÉ9S

A big well done to our Fé9s who gave a brilliant exhibition of hurling against Douglas at half-time in our SHC clash in Pairc Uí Rinn on Friday night. Great stuff boys...keep up the great work.

FÉ12S

Yet another very busy week for Fé12s.

On Saturday last the lads made the return trip to Waterford for the quarter-finals of the Clonea Tommy Finn hurling tournament.  A quarter-final win versus Abbeyside saw them through to the semi-final stages. Unfortunately this was as far as the lads got bowing out to a hungry Mooncoin (pictured above).

Well done lads, you did the club proud.

Then on Monday the Fé12 group one footballers had a home tie versus Nemo Rangers (pictured below).

They put up a brave display and played to the final whistle, but unfortunately Nemo came away with the win.

Then on Tuesday the lads travelled to Youghal for group five football game. Some excellent football saw the lads lead from the start but a late point from Youghal tied the game at 2-5 apiece (pictured below).

FÉ15S

A busy week for our Fé15s. First up was a trip to Ovens to take on Eire Og in the Premier 1 hurling championship. This was a serious test of character, but after a great hours hurling we came out 3-14 to 2-12 winners.

Next up was the Division 4 hurling championship versus Ballincollig (pic below) after some confusion about the fixture. The referee finally turned up and we put in a very good performance coming away with a 4-18 to 2-12 victory. This has set us up well as a good start to both championships is very important. 

The previous Sunday we took on Killeagh in the East Football League final. In very hot conditions we were on the wrong side of a 3-10 to 2-4 defeat. Despite losing the final, the league was very positive with five wins from six matches. Below is Midelton captain Darragh Cronin.
