Health & Wellbeing
Last Saturday members of our Healthy Club Team attended the GAA Healthy Clubs Munster Roadshow.  GAA Clubs from all over Munster were invited to Nemo Rangers GAA Club where Croke Park’s Healthy Club team of Aoife, Colin, Stacy and Ronan together with GAA Ambassadors Mickey Harte, Michael Fennelly, Cillian O’Connor and Anna Geary showcased the work of the Healthy Club Project thus far – the focus areas were Physical Activity (Michael Fennelly), Mental Fitness (Cillian O’Connor), Healthy Eating (Anna Geary) and Community (Mickey Harte).

Under the Mental Fitness banner St Finbarr’s and ourselves both spoke on how they came together off the pitch to collaborate with the HSE to run a hugely successful 6 week course “Cork Beats Stress” in 2014.  This was such a success that we ran a second course in early 2016.  It was stressed how important it is to support one another and it was agreed that GAA clubs are in a position to do this as our clubs are embedded within communities.
Our near neighbours Killeagh Healthy Club team spoke on Healthy Eating and they provided us with a delightful snack “protein balls” this recipe will be on our website www.midletongaa.com/healthyclubproject
The roadshow was fantastic, great atmosphere, very informative speakers and some wonderful food!! – well done to Aoife and the guys in Croke Park for putting this together.

Juvenile
Fe 14 

With the last five weeks our Fe 14’s have been back training twice a week. Our Wednesdays session is spend in the Station Gym for a full hour of intensive physical exercise with a professional trainer. The panel are finding these sessions very beneficial and the feedback so far from the players is that they are feeling much stronger as a result of these gatherings.  

One hour on Saturdays is set aside for both hurling and football training on the Tech field. We have been extremely lucky so far this year in that the Midleton hurlers that are currently on the Cork Senior hurling panel have taken turns to take time out of their busy schedules and attend our training sessions. Killian Burke attended the first week followed by Paul Haughney, Conor Lehane and Luke O’Farrell. Not only have our Fe14 players benefited from their experience and expertise but the our trainers have also picked up some great hurling drills. A really big thanks to the four boys for helping us out.    

Midleton V Youghal, U14 Hurling Challenge Game.
Our first game of the year was played last Sunday February 19th in Copper Alley versus a very competitive Youghal side. Field conditions for this time of the year were quite good so it contributed to a very worthwhile game. It was only a couple of minutes old when Darragh McCarthy registered our first score of the year; a point from a free. Darragh followed up with another point, again from a free before  James Condon struck a great goal from play which was well taken as it was from a very acute angle. We were playing very well as this stage. Ciarmhac Smyth, James O’Sullivan and Evan Kelly were prominent in defence. Cian Murray was industrious at midfield while Ben O’Neill and Rory Hartnett were winning a lot of ball in the inside forward line. We finished the first half with points from Phelim Magann (1) and Darragh McCarthy (2). Half Time score Midleton 2-05 v Youghal 1-03.

The very high standard of hurling resumed again with the second half. A spirited Youghal team took a hold of the game. Brion Saunderson brought off at least one great save. Adam Fay, Fintan Greenwood and Neil Fitzgerald kept their concentration to prevent Youghal from converting a lot of their possession into scores. Darragh Codd and Kelvin Barry also worked very hard around the center of the field. Midleton had a very strong final quarter of the game. A point apiece from Darragh McCarthy and Phelim Magann was followed with the final score of the game a goal from Darragh McCarthy. Final Score: Midleton 3-06, Youghal 2-05.
Panel: B Saunderson, J O’Sullivan, F Greenwood, N Fitzgerald, A Fay, C Smyth, E Kelly, D Codd, C Murray, K Barry, D McCarthy (2-04), J Condon (1-00), R Hartnett, P Magann (0-02) & B. O’Neill.
