LADIES FOOTBALL
On Friday last our two under 14 teams gathered to celebrate a tremendously successful 2022 season. Medals were being awarded to groups as 2021 East Cork Champions, 2022 East Cork League B Champions, and 2022 East Cork Development League Champions.
This was an opportunity to acknowledge and thank each and every player on the panel and to enjoy some food and other goodies together. Every single one of them played a part in the teams’ success. We are very proud of them all. Special mention to the newer players that joined us in recent years.
We are delighted to see your talents develop and strengthen week on week. We are delighted with our more experienced players; their leadership and confidence has brought a depth and strength to the team. Some players will remain at U14, and others will advance to the U16 group. We hope that the success we enjoyed in 2022 will be a sign of things to come in 2023 for the players and the club.

At the end of the challenge our club will be in a draw in Munster to win one of three O'Neills vouchers valued at €2500, €1500 or €1000. After Christmas the Every Step Counts Challenge will be a great way to get fit coming into the Spring....challenge your friends or team mates to see who gets the most steps in!
Just download the My Life by Irish Life App. Register and then go to social and then challenges and select Munster and then Cork and then Midleton.
We're going ok but we could do with a few more to join our team to make sure we get enough steps to get into the draw for O'Neills vouchers.
