Killeagh-Ita’s Juvenile News

Minor Hurlers Get Off To Winning Start

Premier 1 Minor Hurling League Killeagh-Ita’s 6-15, Glen Rovers 0-9

A whirlwind start, which yielded four goals (two lucky, two of excellent quality) in the first ten minutes, laid the foundation for a winning start for our minor hurlers in the Premier 1 league game played in Páirc Uí Chinnéide on Saturday 9th April. Kevin Murphy, David Ogbebor, Andrew Leahy and Killian Treacy were the early goalscorers, but from here on this game was very even with Glen Rovers playing with consistent effort throughout the game, finishing both halves with some fine points. Killian Treacy was our chief scorer, with David, Andrew, Aaron Walsh and Sean Walsh also contributing good points, while Jack O’Rourke and Kevin Murphy mopped up almost every ball that came through the centre of our defence. Bainisteoir Brian Barry was pleased with this opening day win but further challenges lie ahead, with league games against Midleton and Douglas to come before championship against Sarsfields on April 29th. This panel have a busy few weeks ahead.

Team: Fionn McDonnell, Eoin Fitzgibbon, Jack O’Rourke, Emmet Barron, Jamie Landers, Kevin Murphy, Luke Fogarty, Keane Kelly Budds, Christy Coughlan, Sean Walsh, Andrew Leahy, David Ogbebor, Aaron Walsh, Killian Treacy, Shane Kearney. Subs: Padraig Leahy, Dylan Hogan, Richie Long, Barry Motherway.

U15 boys win a thriller in Carrigaline

Premier 2 U-15 Hurling League Carrigaline 3-9, Killeagh-Ita’s 4-8

A cracking game of hurling saw our Under 15 team come away from Carrigaline after 9.30 on Thursday evening last with their first two points of the 2016 hurling league. A sluggish start saw us 2-3 to 0-0 behind after just ten minutes, but once our boys recovered their composure, they began to weather the storm. An enforced change necessitated the move to full-back of Daniel Lucey to replace injured Cian McDonald, and that brought Ben O’Connor into the game on the ’40. Our defenders began to get on top and clear their lines better, with Danny Cunningham and Paul Delaney becoming very effective in their corner back positions. It took Ben a little while to get into the game, but the closing five minutes of the first half saw him add a goal and a point to Olan Broderick’s three earlier points (two from frees) to reduce the deficit at half-time to just one score, Carrigaline ahead by 2-4 to 1-4. A good point from Dara Motherway just after half-time reduced the deficit, but scores were absent for the next ten minutes, before Carrigaline extended their lead with their fifth point. Suddenly, the floodgates opened for us between he 43rd and 48th minute, with Ben and Dara adding further points before three quick goals from Olan Broderick, Richie Landers and Ben put us in the driving seat with twelve minutes remaining – leading by 4-7 to 2-5. Olan added a further point with ten minutes to go, and we looked to be heading for victory. Carrigaline were in no mood for retreating, however, and they countered with 1-4 in the closing stages, and almost added an injury-time goal but the sliotar whizzed past confident cúl báire Brian Murphy’s post, and victory was ours. Well done to Sean and Ger who made some astute switches on the line, especially at half-time, which helped us to win this game. Next up we welcome Ballygarvan to Páirc Uí Chinnéide on Sunday April 17th.

Team: Brian Murphy, Danny Cunningham, Cian McDonald, Paul Delaney, Owen Cosgrove, Ryan McCarthy, Robert Sinclair, David Kelly, Cathal Fitzgibbon, Oisin McCarthy, Daniel Lucey, Olan Broderick, Darragh O’Connor, Richie Landers, Dara Motherway. Subs: Ben O’Connor, Tommy Noonan, Aaron O’Connell, Ciaran Leahy, Christian Coughlan.

U12s hold on in exciting local derby

Fé 12 Eastern ‘A’ Football League Killeagh-Ita’s 7-3, Kiltha Óg 5-3

An enthralling football game was played between two highly committed teams in Páirc Uí Chinnéide on Saturday afternoon, with a dark black cloud setting an ominous backdrop over Glenane as we awaited the downpour. Thankfully, the precipitation stayed away until after Mary Swayne’s final whistle, which meant our players and supporters went home happy and dry! The wind played a major part in this game, with our boys using it to their advantage in the first half, building up a commanding lead at half-time, 6-3 to 2-1. Colm Leahy, Callum Martin White and Daniel Walsh were the chief scorers, while further out the field David Buckley, Ben Budds, Rory Motherway and Conor Meade all played great games and covered acres of ground. Things were not looking so good for us within five minutes of the restart as the Kiltha boys quickly ate into our lead, leaving us perilously ahead by 6-3 to 5-3 after just eight minutes of the second half. However, some heroic defending and excellent battling throughout the pitch kept the score at that, and Daniel Walsh’s goal gave our boys a cushion which they held on to the end. Well done boys, managers Adrian and Declan were chuffed! Well done to our opponents who also contributed to a very entertaining game.

Team: Dylan McCarthy, Daniel Griffin, Ben Fogarty, Ben Budds, David Buckley, Conor Meade, Rory Motherway, Callum Martin White, Daniel Walsh, Pierse Geary, Danny Fitzgerald, Colm Leahy.

Honours shared in exciting game

Rebel Óg Fé 11 Hurling Killeagh-Ita’s 1-4, Kiltha Óg 1-4

The U-11’s had their first hurling league outing last Wednesday night against Kiltha Óg. Despite very poor conditions the team put in a great performance. Team captain Ruairi Mackey led his team admirably from goals while full backs Diarmuid Buckley, Daniel Griffin and Dylan McCarthy did great work keeping the Kiltha Óg forwards on a short leash. The half backs of Piece Geary and Liam Considine worked tirelessly and halted many attacks. Our midfielders Colm Leahy and Jack O’Connor were unstoppable, sending quality ball into the hardworking forwards of Eoin Kelly, Liam Óg Power and Martin Power. The latter two were playing their first game in the Killeagh colours. The team was very ably supported by four of the U-10’s; Michael Doherty, Harry Connon, Fionn Murphy and Sean Meade.

From the first puck of the ball, Killeagh were up for this battle, with excellent hooks, blocks, kicks, hard-hits, saves and great scores,. With rain threatening, Kiltha Óg increased the pressure on our lads, but Killeagh stood strong. Those 15 players each deserve Man of the Match for an outstanding performance in terrible conditions. (Congratulations to Liam Óg Power for his first goal in his debut match!)

The final score was Killeagh 1-4, Kiltha Óg 1-4. Well done to all. Keep up the good work lads. Special thanks to all the parents for their continued support and to Paudie Kearney for refereeing a great game.

Easter Camp 2016 – Fun While It Lasted!

In the words of Mr M. Loaf, “Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad” is an apt summary of our Easter Camp which saw two fantastic days of spórt agus spraoi for over 130 young boys and girls, followed by a wash-out forcing cancellation of Day 3 on Friday last. Wednesday and Thursday gave us lots of fun, kids on the run, in the sun, but April Fool’s Day saw our inclement weather again making fools of us all, with “Rain Stops Play” being the order of the day. Thanks to the many coaches who helped on the two good days – Shane, Noel, Gavin, Johnny, Eoin, Laura, Emma, Jack, Rachel, Barry, Dylan, Padraig, Dara and David, and to organisers Sean and Ursula. Our Summer Camp takes place on the week of July 18th-22nd; hopefully the weather will give us five full days of fun then.

Minor Goals Being Reached, One By One

Eastern B Minor Football League Killeagh-Ita’s 4-6, Carrigtwohill 0-7

Meat Loaf’s popular ballad could equally apply to our minor footballers after their victory in Round 3 of the football league saw them reach the “two out of three” mark, following on from a narrow defeat by Kiltha Óg and a comprehensive victory over Youghal. This game on Thursday evening last saw a marked increase in the standard of football from the previous two games, and we needed all our ‘big guns’ back and firing to dispose of a talented and fit Carrigtwohill team. Our lineout saw six changes from the previous game over Youghal, and a near 100% turnout of available players allowed us the luxury of starting a team full of Under 17 and Under 18 players. Christy Coughlan led the charge all through from centre-back, kicking an excellent point after two minutes to open the scoring, with good support play from Jamie Landers and Fionn McDonnell. Carrig kicked the next three points – two from play and a brilliant ’45 – as our passes went astray around the middle of the field, and they held the upper hand until the 19th minute when Keane Budds finished to the net, following an excellent catch and run by Cathal Deane. A blistering final five minutes before Jim Daly’s half-time whistle gave us a nice cushion, with a brace of points by Aaron Walsh sandwiching an excellent goal by captain David Ogbebor who broke though the last line of defence to rattle the net. Ag leath-am bhíomar chun tosaigh 2-3 i gcoinne 0-3. The second half was quite similar to the first with Carrig dominating the possession and scoring of the first ten minutes, kicking three points to reduce the deficit to just one score. Our defenders were kept busy but Padraig McCarthy, Jack O’Rourke and Shane Kearney held their line excellently throughout, and distributed well when they broke up attacks. Behind them Adrian Galvin kept a clean sheet, kicked very accurately and long from kick-outs, and made a crucial save after 53 minutes to deflect a goal-bound shot over the bar. By that stage, our forwards had kicked back into action with a second goal from David and a fine left-footed point kicked by Keane Budds to stretch the lead to eight points. David’s hat-trick in the 55th minute, following great work from Christy and Aaron, and a final point by Aaron, put the seal on a hard-earned but justified victory. Good performances throughout the team pleased bainisteoir Adrian who was delighted with the work-rate and enthusiasm of all his players.

Team: Adrian Galvin, Shane Kearney, Jack O’Rourke, Padraig McCarthy, Jamie Landers, Christy Coughlan (0-1), Emmet Barron, Eoin Fitzgibbon, Luke Fogarty, Sean Walsh, David Ogbebor (3-0), Cathal Deane, Fionn McDonnell, Aaron Walsh (0-4, 0-1f), Keane Budds (1-1). Subs: Dylan Hogan, Olin Hennessy, Kieran Daly, Richie Long.

Healthy Club Project – time to get up and running – this Friday!

Following the fantastic success of the first ever Killeagh 4 miles Road Race on March 13th, Killeagh GAA have now taken on another innovative venture, again with some additional help. GAA Headquarters in Croke Park, through their National Health and Wellbeing Committee, recently sought applications from clubs in all 32 counties to participate in Phase 2 of the National Healthy Club Project. With only 50 clubs to be selected, the competition was going to be tough. In a creative and inclusive move, Killeagh GAA sought the support of its three sister clubs who share its facilities in Páirc Uí Chinnéide – Killeagh Camogie Club, Inch Rovers Ladies Football Club, and Killeagh-Ita’s Juvenile GAA Club – in applying to be selected for this Project. Good news came through at the end of February that our application was successful and that we have been included. This should mean lots of exciting initiatives happening in Páirc Uí Chinnéide and elsewhere in our community over the next eighteen months, with the focus on all aspects of health and wellbeing – physical, emotional and community. Already representatives from each of the four clubs have come together for a night of training on “Health and Wellbeing” delivered by the Cork GAA Health and Wellbeing Committee. The next step now is to formally get this Project up and running in our community. With this in mind, an Open Meeting will take place in Páirc Uí Chinnéide on Friday next April 8th at 8.00 p.m. This meeting is open to members of all four clubs, but also we want to extend an open invitation to those in our community who are not affiliated with any of the four clubs but who have an interest in or some expertise in the area of Health and Wellbeing and who would like to get involved. Please try to come along on the night where you can find out more about the Project, give your ideas on what you might like to see happen, and perhaps get involved in the organisation of forthcoming events. See you there, healthy or not!

Killeagh-Ita’s Juvenile News

Questions Answered In Exciting Quiz Night

Which is larger, the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean? How many balls are bowled in an over in cricket? These and 78 other questions were the focus of the attention of over 150 primary school children at the third Annual Primary Schools Quiz held in Killeagh Community Centre on March 14th last. Organised by Killeagh-Ita’s Juvenile GAA Club, the quiz serves two purposes – a fun night out for the many children from our parish schools and other local schools (Castlemartyr, Kilcredan, Clonpriest, Bunscoil Eochaille) who were represented on the night, and a fundraiser for the club and one local charity. This year the chosen charity was the Killeagh-Inch Defibrillator Group, a sub-committee of Killeagh-Inch Community Council, who have placed defibrillators throughout the parish over the past four years. As a result of this event, the group will be close to having the funds to purchase another defibrillator or provide necessary training to more within our community. With 37 teams entered, space was at a premium, and the noise level was quite high at times! Nevertheless, when it was eyes down and time to knock heads together to find those answers and beat the clock, concentration levels went up as the noise levels went down! Ag deireadh an oÍche, bhí buaiteorí againn. Castlemartyr NS, going for a three-in-a-row, were beaten on the line by Kilcredan NS, whose team of Eoghan Rooney, Grace Rooney, Avril Millerick and Michael Wall completed eight rounds of ten questions with a staggering score of 74/80, one ahead of the Castlemartyr team, who were one ahead in turn of a second Kilcredan quartet. Best placed of the Killeagh parish teams were Inch NS, in fourth place with 70 points. Many thanks to all those who supported the event on the night, to those who helped in any way to ensure that it ran smoothly, and to the members of Killeagh-Ita’s Juvenile Club and the Killeagh-Inch Defibrillator Group for their assistance in planning, organising and running the event. We’ll go again in March 2017!

Motorview 4 Mile Road Race:

We had our inaugural four mile road race on Sunday March 13th. It was kindly sponsored by main Kia dealer Motorview Motors and what a successful day it turned out to be. While a lot of hard work had been carried out before Sunday it still required a mammoth effort to see the event through to a success. From early Sunday morning there was a hive of activity at the club grounds with the many volunteers calmly going about their tasks to ensure the day ran smoothly for everybody. Stewarding of the race and at the club grounds was well thought out and implemented to the plan which gave way to minimum hardship for the many, many visitors who came to our club grounds. Registration opened from 9am and the walkers started at 9.30am. The main road race got underway at 11.00am and finished at the club grounds. A total of 246 runners and 80 walkers took to the course on the day. The general consensus from the participants was that it was a very enjoyable course to run, it was well organised and marshalled and the parking, changing and refreshment facilities that were laid on were top class. Our chairman, Mr Padraig McGrath said that on behalf of the club, he owed a huge debt of gratitude to the many people who gave their time and efforts to ensure the day was a brilliant success for both the GAA club and the community. He also paid huge thanks to Youghal AC for all their help and expertise in organising the event for our club.

Our U16 footballers played their second league game of the season in Carrignavar on Saturday March 5th and came away with their second league win in seven days. It was a tough encounter with Carrignavar where conditions underfoot were testing and a strong breeze blowing down the pitch added to the test. Our lads dug in from the off and although they trailed at half time on a score of 3-03 to 1-04 they never gave up and were duly rewarded for their gallant effort. The back line were very strong and even though they shipped three first half goals they kept their heads up and thwarted their opponents in the second half where Carrignavar failed to score. The midfield and half forwards worked tirelessly for the duration and tracked back time and again to help the back line and also to launch attacks. The forwards also worked very hard and although a couple of efforts failed to hit the target they hit a total of eleven scores over the game. Well done to the subs who came on as they stepped up to the plate immediately to maintain the pressure on their opponents. Thanks to all the parents who took the time to bring the lads to the game and got behind them and encouraged them during the game. Well done all round. The final score was Carrignavar 3-03 Killeagh-Ita’s 2-09.

Squad: O Hennessey, K Daly, C McDonald, J Kent, D Geary, D Hogan, R McCarthy, P Leahy, L McCarthy, D Kelly, A Galvin, R Landers, A Foley, J Wyse, R Long, O McCarthy, P Delaney, D Lucey, K O’Toole, C Fitzgibbon, R Sinclair, T Noonan, D O’Connor, O Cosgrove, O Broderick, B Motherway, D Motherway, D Cunningham, G Sinclair.

Mixed Fortunes for Footballers in League Openers

Minor B Football League Kiltha Óg 2-9, Killeagh-Ita’s 4-2

U16 B Football League Killeagh-Ita’s 6-5, St. Catherine’s 4-3

The Rebel Óg Eastern Football Leagues began last weekend, with our Minor Footballers first out on Saturday evening under floodlights, and our Under 16 team out on Sunday afternoon versus the Conna / Ballynoe Saints. This meant a busy weekend for six of our Under 16 boys who were on duty in both games – well done to Richie, Kieran, Barry, James, Olin and Adrian! Given our lack of football practice and late appointment of a ‘bainisteoir’, the performance on Saturday evening was rich in positives for players and management, despite not getting either a win or a draw that we might have earned on another day. The aim of keeping the defence tight worked well for most of the opening half until a second (preventable) goal just before half-time gave Kiltha a commanding lead – 2-4 to 1-1. However, between Luke Fogarty’s ninth-minute goal and Cathal Deane’s fine point on the 27th minute, our forwards could have added at least six more scores, half of which could have been green flags. These missed chances were to prove costly ag deireadh an chluiche. Adrian’s half-time team talk gave our boys further encouragement and they stormed out of the blocks in the second half. The score of the game came on the 35th minute, with Keane Budds finishing off a fine move in which Jack O’Rourke, David Ogbebor and Cathal Deane were involved, carrying from our own ’45 to the opposition parallelogram. The net was rattled and the score difference was suddenly down to three. Within three minutes we had levelled as Aaron Walsh finally got the goal his efforts deserved. With twenty minutes to go, our boys were in the ascendancy, but crucially we were unable to get our noses in front. Kiltha had a purple patch from the three-quarter mark to minute 54 – scoring five excellent points (four from play, the impressive Michael Kelly the main sharp shooter) without reply to take the upper hand. However, our boys were not yet done, and when Jack O’Rourke kicked our fourth goal with a minute to go, we had time to pull this one out of the fire! Referee Jim Daly played two minutes of injury time, in which Richie Long kicked a fine point to leave the minimum between the points. Although we gained possession from the kick out, we were unable to capitalise on this and Kiltha held out to win an exciting game. Still, there were many positives for our young team, as we look forward to our next game against our neighbours on the other side, Eochaill, on Sunday 20th March.

Team: Olin Hennessy, Barry Motherway, Christy Coughlan, Padraig McCarthy, Jamie Landers, Emmet Barron, Jack O’Rourke, Eoin Fitzgibbon, Cathal Deane, Keane Budds, David Ogbebor, Fionn McDonnell, Sean Walsh, Aaron Walsh, Luke Fogarty, Kieran Daly, Richie Long, Adrian Galvin, James Kent.

Our Under 16 boys had managed one training session more than their minor counterparts before their opening game against St. Catherine’s and ran out deserving winners on a scoreline of 6-5 to 4-3. Richie Long was the main scorer in the opening half, notching 2-2 from corner-forward, while Adrian Galvin’s goal and Barry Motherway’s point were the other scores notched as we led by 3-3 to 2-1. As well as the aforementioned trio, Padraig Leahy, Oisin McCarthy, David Kelly and Jack Wyse were also very impressive performers in this opening half. Our opponents never shirked from the challenge, and kept the pressure up throughout, yet we maintained our lead to reiteoir Mary Swayne’s final whistle. With a large panel at this age, managers Colm, Tom, Paul and Denis have places up for grabs from 1 to 15 as they consider picking their team for the next game against Carrignavar on Saturday next.

Team: Olin Hennessy, Kieran Daly, Cian McDonald, James Kent, Barry Motherway, Dylan Hogan, Daragh Geary, Padraig Leahy, David Kelly, Oisin McCarthy, Adrian Galvin, Richie Landers, Richie Long, Jack Wyse, Andrew Foley, Cathal Fitzgibbon, Olan Broderick, Ryan McCarthy, Owen Cosgrove, Karl O’Toole, Paul Delaney, Daniel Lucey, Dara Motherway, Darragh O’Connor.

Registration Day

Registration Day Kick Starts 2016 Campaign

The rain fell, the rugby kept some stuck to the couch, yet the moms and dads and boys and girls came to our Annual Registration Day on Sunday last February 7th. DJ Dave kept the younger folk occupied with music and games downstairs in the halla – in between the games of hurling, soccer and rugby – while upstairs the tea, healthy food (and the odd biscuit) and chat were plentiful as the older generations registered their offspring and themselves for the season ahead. Presents of sliotars and gumshields sent the 12 year olds and under home happy, while new and returning parents had the opportunity to catch up with neighbours, make new acquaintances, and dream of days when the rain might stop falling! One of these days! Thank you to all those who came out to register, and for those who didn’t manage to make it yet, please call to Ursula in the coming days to make sure your boys are fully compliant before the new season commences.

Congratulations!

To Sheila Spillane, Killeagh Camogie President, who was honoured with the Evening Echo Hall of Fame Award for 2015 during the week. For a lifetime of unselfish service to Killeagh and Cork camogie, this award is fully merited. Well done Sheila!

To Killeagh Scór Competitors who participated in the Imokilly Scór Finals in Lisgoold on the last day of January. Pauline Meade and Carol Keniry both sang in the Solo Singing competition, with Carol garnering the runner-up spot. Eddie Leahy regaled the audience with his recollection of the epic that was the Tipperary v Cork 1984 Munster Final, and also garnered a runner-up duais. It was our ballad group who hit the headlines on the night, as Pauline, Mary, Teresa, Ann and Jacinta took the honours, singing “Trasna na dTonnta” and “Molly Malone”. This win qualifies them for the County Final, and perhaps a chance to reprise the success of the Killeagh 1992 Ballad Group of Mary, Muriel, Maureen and Peg who won East Cork, County and Munster Finals and qualified for the All-Ireland Final in Clones. Best wishes ladies!
