Junior Football
Last Thursday evening we were defeated in Round three of the East Cork Junior A Championship by Fr O’Neills in Youghal on a scoreline of 1-10 to 1-07.
The sides were dead locked at the break at 1-05 a piece, a number of injuries disrupted our rhythm and they finished stronger.
One interesting fact from the game, we used four goal keepers … Patrick Dunlea started but went off injured, Josh Deady replaced him but was later black carded, Declan Ryan then took over to be replaced late in the second half by Luke Dineen who made a few great saves … surely some sort of record !
Well done to the players for their efforts over the campaign and to the management team of Davy O’Brien, Sean Corcoran, Cristoir Ó Cashaigh, Kieran Mulcahy and Declan Ryan.    
Team: Patrick Dunlea, Seanaidh Smyth, Eoin Walsh, Alan Stanton, Cillian Hurley, Luke Dineen, Padraig O’Farrell, Aidan Ryan, Kieran Moloney (0-01), Leslie Coughlan, Declan Ryan (1-01 frees), Cormac Beausang, Johnny Comer (0-03, frees), Alywin Kearney & Kieran Mulcahy (0-02).
Subs used Josh Deady, Sean O’Farrell & Eoin Moloney, not used Eoin Ferriter, Jordan Roche Brendan Ferriter, Adam Daly, Peter Dowling & Cathal Gunning.  
Referee Brian Murphy, Carrigtwohill. 

On Easter Monday last we put up a very brave performance in the East Cork Junior B Football Championship first round against Bride Rovers first team in Lisgoold. Fielding a team mixed with youth and experience we lost out on a scoreline of 2-11 to 1-06.
Well done to everybody associated with getting this team out, the selectors, Football secretary John Ferriter and the players for committing to the game.
Team: Conor O’Farrell, James O’Brien, Liam Clohessy, Eoin Mitchell, Jerome Curtin, Micheal Keohane, Adam Daly, Sean O’Meara (0-01), Paul Barry (0-02, 1 free), Brendan Ferriter, Kevin Daly, Andrew Rea (1-00), Cathal Gunning, Keith Ryan (0-02 frees) & Eoin Collins. Subs used Barry Fitzgerald, Davy O’Brien & Willie O’Brien (0-01).  
Referee Brian Murphy, Carrigtwohill.

Well done to our Club players Tommy O’Connell, half forward (0-05), Kevin Finn & Cian Farmer (0-01) both used substitutes last Tuesday evening when Cork defeated Limerick at the  Gaelic Grounds by 0-16 v 0-06 in the Munster Hurling Championship first round.
This is the inaugural year of the U17 hurling competition as the Minor hurling competition will no longer exist at U18.

Fe 16
We travelled north side to the Glen for our opening Premier 1 Hurling League game last Tuesday. We got off to a good start and looked stronger and were quicker to the ball. However our scoring was slow and some makeable scores squandered. Early in the second half it looked like the Glen lads might get back into the game but our lads upped their game and fought hard. Better work from the forwards mid way through the second half saw the scores come and we closed out the game well. Final score Midleton 2-17 v Glen Rovers 2-12
We wish David Scanlon a quick recovery from his recent injury.
Team: Alex Quirke, Patrick Kane, Christian Murphy, Leo Hennessy, Adam Meade, Jack Fitzgerald, Dan O'Sullivan, Samuel Quirke, Ethan Daly, Gary Carroll, Aaron Mulcahy, Charlie Walsh, Tim O'Sullivan, Cian Crowley, Paul Connaghton, Ryan Cahill, & Conor Hayes.
