Midleton Hurling & Football Notes

 
Junior Football Championship
Last Saturday evening our Junior A Footballers took on Dungourney in the East Cork Junior Football Championship in Castlemartyr. Despite trailing at half time we made a great comeback in the second half and totally dominated the game but when it looked like a draw was on the cards a late free earned Dungourney the spoils.
Hard luck to the players and management and well done on your efforts.

On Wednesday last our Junior C hurlers played Bride Rovers in the semi final of the Championship at Caherlag. After our first round victory in this Championship confidence was high going into this game but after a great hour’s hurling Bride Rovers took the honour’s very late on in the game. Many thanks to all the players and management for their commitment and efforts throughout the year.

Sports Capital Programme grant for St. Colman’s & Midleton GAA
St Colman’s Community College in partnership with Midleton GAA are delighted to
have successfully secured a grant of €25, 000.00 through the Sports Capital
Programme. Both parties have a great long standing relationship which is set to
continue into the future, highlighted by a recently signed 15 year agreement for
Midleton GAA to use St. Colman’s GAA pitch facilities. This agreement will continue St. Colman’s vision of serving the wider community while also assisting Midleton GAA to provide top class facilities to cater for its growing juvenile sector.
St. Colman’s & Midleton GAA are both working hard to actively promote physical
activity and healthy lifestyles within the community. Through initiatives like the Sports Capital Programme it will allow us to improve facilities even further to the benefit of both parties.

Juvenile Notes

Fe 8
Last Sat morning the under 8 panel and their coaches left  the club by bus at 9am followed by a convoy of parents and supporters  for the annual Roanmore charity Blitz. We fielded 3 teams against opposition from Waterford, Wexford and Kilkenny, with the boys proving themselves to be strong competitors.  In the glorious sunshine and encouraged by great support from the side lines the lads produced champagne hurling. Each player deserves great credit for the way they represented themselves and Midleton. A very proud bunch of players and mentors arrived back on home turf at 7pm tired but happy. A fantastic day out for all.
Panel:  Aaron Crotty, Odhran Dennigan, Sam Murphy, Sean McSharry, Darragh Egan, Thomas Dunlea, James McSweeney, Marcus Lambe, Billy Keating, Paddy Walsh, Cathal Dalton, Jack O’Connell, Sennan Gleeson, Carthaig Cronin, Ben Fitzpartick, Conor Morley, Darragh Prenter, Fionn Kelly, Calllum O'Brien, Evan O’Sullivan, Jake Kirby, Callum McSweeeny, Peter Barrett, John Paul McManus, Adam O’ Connor, Luca Brodkord, Matthew Gregory, Sam Geary, Ryan Woods.

Fe 9
The Fe9 hurlers travelled to the annual Roanmore Blitz in Waterford last Saturday,  we had 3 under 9 teams and we played games v Ballygunner (Waterford) Wind gap (Kilkenny) Barrow Rangers (Kilkenny) Barrow/Ballymitty (Wexford) Mount Sion (Waterford) and Kilsheelan/Kilcash (Tipperary) we were based in Mount Sion club for the day and had a great day.

Fe12
Our hurlers had a great win last Saturday in the annual Colman Dillon Blitz in Erins Own. On the way to the final we defeated Lisgoold, Carrignavar, Erins Own and in the final Carrigtwohill after a great game by 4-04 to 0-09. This Blitz is run each year to honour the great man that is Colman Dillion, to acknowledge the great work he done down through the years for the underage. Many thanks to the Erins Own club and the Ladies committee for their fantastic hospitality throughout the day. 

Fe14
Midleton U14 hurlers had a very useful workout against Abbeyside at home on Sunday last. Despite being short a number of  players, all of our lads played well and we came out ahead at the final whistle on a scoreline of 1-19 to 4-8. Our next game is our final league game away to NaPiarsaigh next Thursday night at 18.30. A win here would see us reach the P1 U14 League Semi Final with hopefully a home fixture. So we need to hurl well to have any chance of beating NaPiarsaigh.

Fe 16
Our Fe16 footballers qualified for the P2 Football semi-final last Friday when after making the long trip to Brinny for an early throw in they defeated a strong Clonakilty outfit. Playing into a slight breeze in the opening half our lads led by a single point 1-03 to 0-05 with a well taken goal from Adam Daly being the difference between the sides. On the resumption Clonakilty started the better side but our defence led well by Jordan Roche and Kevin Mulcahy in the pivotal positions ensured that only 3 pts were conceded in this period when Clon were well on top. Our midfield and half forward gradually took a hold of the game and we raced into a 10 point lead thanks in part to 2 well executed goals from Padraig O'Brien, However Clon never gave up and they kept tacking on the points from distance as our defence were leaving no gaps in close to goal and they had dominated again in closing parts of game while we were thankful to the clinical finishing of Cathal Gunning who added 1-3 in the closing stages to help us hold out for a 2pt win on a scoreline of 4-10 to 1-17. A tremendous effort from all 19 players who contributed to the game and the results of the effort put in training over the last number of weeks showed in the work rate and intensity shown which comes from the competition for places in training from all on the panel which on the night consisted of - Sean O'Meara (Capt), Adam Daly, Kevin Daly, Kevin Mulcahy, Cathal Gunning, Conor Evans, Conor O'Farrell, Ciaran Evans, Conor O'Neill, Chris Power, Christian Daly, Eoin Moloney, Jordan Roche, Liam Franklin, Luke Smyth, Padraig O'Brien, Ryan McConville, Ryan O'Regan, Ronan O'Donovan, Shane O Brien, John O'Dwyer, Sean O'Leary, Sean O'Sullivan and Tom Scanlon while we had Eoin Mitchel, David Mulcahy, Ross O'Connor and Tommy O'Connell all unavoidably missing on the night.
