Ladies Football
East Cork Minor League Midleton v Youghal
On Thursday evening our minor Girls travelled to Youghal in Round 3 of the East Cork Minor League. We only had 11 girls at our disposal and Youghal who had 14 matched our 11. On a lovely afternoon for football we started spritely and from the throw in attacked the Youghal goal. Before try as we could we could not find the scoring target. In the first 10 minutes we were camped in their half of the pitch playing down the hill into the clubhouse goal aided by a slight breeze. Due to wayward shooting and a resilient Youghal defence it took us ten minutes to register our first score which came in the shape of a goal. This settled the girls and went on to register a further 1:8 before the break, most of these scores coming in the middle period. Soon after we lost our shape and began to tire and they owned that spell running in for 1:2 Score at half time, Midleton 2:8 v Youghal 1:2
In the second half playing up the hill against the breeze was a more difficult task, and Youghal who had the advantage of being able to recycle the girls in and out brought the game to us and had the ball over the bar from the throw in. For the next ten minutes it was all Youghal and they pulled back the game to a three point game. We were completely dead on our feet and found it difficult to deal with their running and attacking play. Then Youghal were awarded a penalty that would have levelled the game only for Rhea’s unbelievable save who not only blocked the ball by diving to the bottom right hand corner, but also gathered it and bust out with it and set up a counter attack that saw us rattle the Youghal net. This inspired energy into the team and the whole unit raised their game, and for the next while the ball was moved up and down the field with abandon by two energetic teams. With seven minutes remaining Youghal had the deficit down to three points again but an opportunist goal  from a cleverly taken free by Sabadh who found our full back racing up the wing to receive the pass who lobbed the ball in over the goalies head to bring us ahead by six points again. This broke their hearts and in an incredible shift we had the wind in our sails and finished strong on a scoreline of 5:14 to Youghal's 3:7.
This game is a prime example of what can be achieved when a team plays as one unit, the support they gave each other, the encouragement, their work rate, and the exhausted smiling faces at full time would encourage any girl to take up sport. Very well done girls, ye did us proud. Team: Rhea Buckely, Laura O'Leary, Deirdre Corcoran, Lizzi Phiri, Lucy Wallace, Abby Quirke, Molly Beausang, Kari McEvoy, Sadhbh Beausang, Aoife Franklin, Alice Reddy.

Juvenile

Fe 7
On Wednesday the 2nd of August we welcomed Aghada, Youghal and Carrigtohill to Clonmult Memorial Park to take part in a hurling blitz. It was a wonderful evening of hurling that saw over 100 players partake in the event. There has been a huge improvement shown in our own players over the passing months and this was very evident on the evening.
The Fé 7 management panel would like to thank the parents of our players for supporting the evening that was a great success. A special word of thanks to Michael O'Connell for his hard work in coordinating the blitz and facilitating its smooth running and to Tom Galvin for liaising with the parents throughout.

The second half played out similar to the first half. We got the upper hand and pushed on for the remainder of the game. Scorers were Ronan Gies (0-01), Evan Kelly (0-01), Alex Quirke (1-01), Kelvin Barry (0-02), Evan McCarthy (1-00) and Ben O’Neill (2-00).

Hurling Challenge: U14 Midleton 3-09 v Kilmacud Crokes 5-11.
On the way to Croke Park on Sunday for the All-Ireland semi-final we lined out against Kilmacud Crokes in South County Dublin. The weather was beautiful, the game was enjoyable and the players were fed afterwards. What more could you ask for?

Fe 16
On Tuesday night last we started our last juvenile Hurling Championship campaign.
With a few out injured it was a big test for the team and Blarney have always given us a good test and we expected nothing different this time.
We got off to a good start and following a foul we were awarded a penalty which was expertly netted. From then until the end of the first half we took control and with another couple of goals had Blarney on the rack.
We expected a fight back from Blarney in the second half and we weren't let down.
We lost some shape and gave Blarney a way back in. The lads however fought to the end as usual and came out victors on a scoreline of 4-07 to 2-10. Well done to all.
Thanks to those who came up from Fe 15 and best wishes for a quick recovery to those on the injured list.
Team: Alex Quirke, Leo Hennessy, Dave Scanlon, Patrick Kane, Jack Fitzgerald, Christian Murphy, Charlie Walsh, Samuel Quirke, Ethan Daly, Dan O'Sullivan, Aaron Mulcahy, Cian Crowley, Paul Connaughton, Adam Meade & Ryan Cahill. Subs Gary Carroll, Rory Donegan, Tim O'Sullivan, Gavin Reddy, Will O'Sullivan, Brion Saunderson & Conor Fitzgerald.

The camp coordinator for the week was Ingrid Connaughton ably assisted by Darina Foley and a number of other willing volunteers who assisted on various days throughout the week. Ingrid would like to thank all those who assisted her during the week and in the run up to arranging the camp, paying particular thanks to the Club for the use of the facilities, Rebel Og, Cormac Quirke, Mary Quinn, Tracy Saunderson, Mairead Beausang, Susan Fitzgerald, Ruth Walsh, Tara Cahill, Marcella ONeill, Shelia Kelly and all the Coaches, the Juvenile Helpers who were absolutely excellent and a credit to the club and in particular all the children who attended the camp.
