Juvenile Notes
Fe 16
Our Fe 16 Footballers made their way northside on Sunday to take on Mayfield in the Eastern football league. In what turned out to be a hard fought battle; Midleton started with the wind and made the most of the advantage to reach halftime with a 2-04 to 1-01 lead. The second half against the wind was a different affair with Mayfield playing the better and bringing the score back to 2-04 to 2-02. Midleton went on to score two late points and finished the game 2-06 to 2-02. Well done to all who played including some help from the Fe 15 team.
Fe 14
Our Fe 14 footballers travelled to Mallow on Saturday for the Premier 2 Football league. As it turned out the magpies made it two out of two against a Mallow side who opened their league with a solid win against Kilmurry. Midleton got off to a great start and by half time led by 7- 4 to 1- 0. The second half saw Mallow take the initiative following some lapses of concentration on the Midleton side. However the hard work from Midleton was enough to take the win on a final scoreline of Midleton 8-05 to Mallow 4-02. Well done lads.

Gum Shields
From the 1st of January 2013 it is now compulsory for juvenile players to wear gum shields (mouth Guards). The rule relates to both football training and matches. This ruling has come from GAA Headquarters and anybody not wearing a gum shield and who subsequently gets injured during a match or training session will not be covered by GAA insurance.
GAA recommended gum Shields can be purchased from our juvenile club sponsor Murphy’s Pharmacy in Midleton.
Please ensure that your child has a gum shield for every training session and game.
Training
Most teams are back training now following the Christmas break. Training times can be found on the club website www.midletongaa.com . On the juvenile team page for your child’s team training times have been posted. We would ask parents to encourage their children to practice during the week even if the weather is bad, parents can practice catching the ball indoors. For players from junior infants to Fe 9 please remember to bring your €2 to training sessions. This money is vital to keep the juvenile section of the club funded.
Midleton Juvenile Golf Classic
The dates for the 2013 juvenile Golf Classic have been confirmed as Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th of July. We hope this years event can live up to the quality of the previous years and that the community support it as well as in the past. Please spread the news to those who you think might sponsor a team or a prize.
