We bid farewell to our inaugural Chairperson Denis Kelleher after 3 years service at the helm, Denis has contributed enormously to the development and running of the club and will be missed from the committee as will outgoing Vice Chairman Stephen Ivers, thankfully both will remain  involved members of the club going forward. We thank them both for their service thus far, for giving of their time, energy, enthusiasm and humour!
In the Chairpersons report Denis thanked Midleton GAA Club for their continued support and use of all the club facilities without this support our club could not continue to provide a valuable sporting outlet for our girls. He also thanked Ballinacurra GAA for the use of their pitch.  Denis thanked the coaches, highlighting the time and commitment given by coaches   during the year both on and off the field. He encouraged more parents to get involved in any capacity.  He also complemented all the players from under 6 to under 16 on a great year of camogie.

Our final match of the year took us to Togher in Cork City to take on St Finbarr’s in the Premier 1 Hurling League Final. Our young Magpies were quick out of the blocks and a sublime point from out on the wing by Evan Kelly had us off the mark. Alex Quirke struck our second point. The next four points came from the same two players; Even Kelly’s two points from play and Alex Quirke’s two points – one from a free. An ever industrious Darragh McCarthy struck over two points prior to the half time break along with a point from James Condon and one last point of the half from MOM Evan Kelly. Brion Saunderson, Liam McGrath and Ciarmhac Smyth all put in solid performances in the first half.
Half Time Score: Midleton 0-10 v St Finbarr’s 0-08
Our best score of the game came from the hurley of Ciarmhac Smyth when he successfully pointed a shot which came at the end of a brilliant Midleton flowing movement. Further scores from Darragh McCarthy (3) James Condon (2) and Alex Quirke saw us over the finish line. Adam Fay, Evan McCarty and Mickey Finn to name but three were others who contributed handsomely to this win. It was the best team performance of the year and it was great to finish our last game with Alex Quirke receiving the U14 P1 League Cup.
Full Time Score: Midleton 0-17 v St Finbarr’s 0-11.
Panel: Brion Saunderson, James O’Sullivan, Fintan Greenwood, Ciarmhac Smyth (0-01), Evan McCarthy, Liam McGrath, Adam Fay, Darragh Codd, Alex Quirke (0-04), David Cremin, Evan Kelly (0-04), Darragh McCarthy (0-05), Kelvin Barry (0-03), James Condon (0-02), Ronan Gies, Mickey Finn, Niall Corcoran, Cian Murray, Ben O’Neill, Rowan Spillane, Neil Fitzgerald, Rory Hartnett, Phelim Magann, John Spellman, Craig Collins, Shay Bohan, Tiarnan Roche & Michael Roe.

We played the Premier 3 Hurling League final on Saturday at Blackrock versus the hosts in relatively good conditions for this time of year. Having taken a decisive beating during the league campaign on our own patch from The Rockies, this was hopefully a chance of redemption for the lads. After twenty minutes of the first half things did not look good however as we trailed the Rockies by six points having conceded a goal in the first minute of the game. We steadied the ship slightly coming up to the short whistle to trail by five points at half time 1-07 to 5pts. With a clear reminder to the lads of all the hard work that they had exerted in training in recent weeks in training and a few positional changes by the mentors, the change in performance in the second half was amazing.
Our forwards scored 1-07 unanswered in the third quarter to race into the lead, a lead which we were not going to relinquish. The Rockies fought back, but our defence stood firm against everything that was thrown against them. Lads were beginning to tire so we emptied the bench and everyone played their part in what was a superb second half performance. At the long whistle the lads had secured a comeback victory on a scoreline of 1-14 to 1-10.
This was a well deserved victory for a great bunch of lads. Their commitment and honesty of effort in training all year was duly rewarded. A great shout out also to the Premier 1 players who all turned up to support the lads on the day and also to the great support received from all the parents. Everybody went home happy after some pizza and soft drinks back in the clubhouse. A very satisfactory day all round!!!
Panel: Aaron Coleman, Brion Saunderson, Alex Pranger, Rory Lang, Nicky Hayes, Dan Cagney, Joshua Pennant, Conor Hayes, Ryan Cahill, Luke Deane, Darragh Crowley, Ben Cummins (Injured), Trevor Shine, Ciarmhac Smyth, Christopher Leahy, Oliver Murray, Aaron Coughlan, Will O’ Sullivan,  Conor Fitzgerald, Kevin O’ Brien & Daithi Magan.
