After a great game of football our Senior footballers eventually lost out by one point to UCC in the munster championship played in Cloughduv Cork on Sunday the 6th. We had a superb start with a Luke Kavanagh goal helping us to 1-3 to 0-1 lead however UCC brought the score back to 1-3 to 0-5 by half time. It was nip and tuck all through the second half with a late Darren Bourke goal giving us a one point lead going into injury time. UCC kicked a last second free to bring the game into extra time and UCC closing out with a one point margin. It was a fantastic effort from our lads who never gave up.. We had great performances from all our players but especially mention to Pete Russell, Luke Kavanagh, Jack Hoare and Seamus Hickey. A special word of thanks to the management team and all who supported the team through the season and finally the brilliant support we had on the day who did our club and county proud.

Juvenile Notes

Camogie Under 8 Indoor Blitz
Monaleen took part in the final indoor blitz of the season in Croom on Saturday. In a very competitive section Monaleen first played Ballybrown losing by a goal. Second up was Newcastle West and the Monaleen girls who were by now becoming familiar with the conditions and rules won by 2 goals to nil with Aoife Doyle getting the scores. The final match was against Granagh Ballingarry and while Monaleen had all the chances it finished scoreless. Aoife Nelligan and Kerrie Carey were strong in defence and Louise Mansfield played very well in goal. Well done to all the girls who participated.
Panel: Aoife Nelligan; Aoife Doyle; Kerrie Carey; Grace Butler; Louise Mansfield; Caitlin Power; Aoife Sheehan; Isobelle O Riordan; Laura Brennan.
