Midleton Hurling and Football, Ladies Football and Camogie Club News - March 2

02 March, 2023

WE'RE BACK......

It's a wonderful time of year when our teams are back in league action. Our four adult hurling teams all make their first league starts of 2023 this week and it would be brilliant if you could support any or all of them. 

Our senior hurlers are first into action on Saturday when they host Bishopstown in Clonmult Memorial Park from 4.30pm. 

Then on Sunday morning our intermediate hurlers travel to Cloughduv for an 11.30am start. 

Our Junior C hurlers are also in action on Sunday. They travel to take on Bride Rovers in Rathcormac at 4.30pm and then on Tuesday night our Junior A hurlers make the trip to Killeagh for an 8pm start. 

Best of luck to all four sets of players and management as they set out on what will hopefully be a hugely successful year for the Magpies.

 

IN THE RED OF CORK

Well done to our own Tommy O'Connell and Sam Quirke who both started in Cork's 2-21 to 0-21 National Hurling League win over Westmeath at Pairc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday last. Cork have a weekend off this week but are back in action at home in Pairc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday week (March 12) against Wexford at 3.45pm.
