Despite the best efforts of our team who gave it their all from start to finish, the result did not go our way. These lads have put in tremendous effort and commitment throughout the 2025 season. This is a group of fine young men who have represented their team, club, and community with pride, dedication, and great character.

We would like to thank the parents and families, for your unwavering support and encouragement. It was heartening to see such strong support for these lads all year.

We would also like to express our gratitude to Chris Mulqueen, Des Ryan, Gearoid Holland, Barry and Joey for their time, expertise, and dedication in coaching the team over the course of the season.

U14s Wrap Up Season with Strong Showing at Super 10

Our U14s rounded off their long and hard-fought season with a very impressive performance in the Super 10 competition held at Mick Neville Park on Sunday, October 19th.

We faced tough opposition in Kildimo Pallaskenry, Newcastle West, and ABK, and the team rose to the challenge with some outstanding displays across the day. These performances are ones we’re extremely proud of and provide a solid foundation to build on for next season.

This is a talented and resilient group of players, who just last month were narrowly beaten by a single point in the County Final.

A big thank you to all the parents and supporters for their encouragement throughout the year, and a special word of appreciation to the management team of Ger Hickey, Paul O’Mahony, and Ger Browne for their dedication and commitment.

Intermediate Football Result

Crecora Manister 1-11

Pallasgreen 1-09

Our intermediate footballers headed into Rhebogue on Saturday afternoon for a make or break game against old foes Pallasgreen who have been our nemesis for the last few years. A win would cement 4^th place in our group while a loss could see us entering a relegation battle. Following our superb win against Gerald Griffins 2 weeks previous, the lads were on a high following some solid training over the last 2 weeks.

When the ball was thrown in, Cathal won primary possession and it was straight into attack mode and with less than 2 mins on the clock we were a point to the good following a free from Mark Shanahan. Pressing the Pallas kickout paid some good dividends over the next 10 mins and we had good scores from play from Mike Mc, Cormac Flanagan and Rory Hannan before Pallas started to get a bit of a grip in their half forward line and put up the next 2 scores from play.

Flano then got his second from play to stem the tide and this was traded with another from Pallas before a super team move saw the ball played into David Rickard who timed his pass perfectly to Brian Dolphin to punch the ball to the back of the net for the first green flag of the game. However, Pallas were not going away and a goal and a point of their own cut the gap to a single point before Mark Shanahan scored another great free to lead us into the break with a 2 point lead.

The second half took on much the same story as the first with our lads having a lot of the possession but the Pallas defense were stingy and not giving up too much space. However, after about 8 mins of the restart , a brilliant 2 pointer free from Mark put us 2 points up and for the next 15 mins we traded scores with Pallas with another free from Mark and a well worked point from Brian Dolphin had us 4 up with 10 to play however Pallas cut that lead to 2 before Davis Rickard kicked a lovely point and left Pallas searching for a goal. Thankfully they could only muster a point and we ran out 2 point winners on the day.

Team on the day – Stephen Keating, David Macken, Colm Parnell, Tim Moloney, Rory Hannan, Patrick Dolphin, Cormac Flanagan, Ciaran Cusack, Cathal O’Neill, Sean Malone, Mark Shanahan, Sam Riordan, Brian Dolphin, Mike McCormack, David Rickard, Thomas Shanahan, Padraig Byrnes, Con Kirby

Thanks to Noel Murphy, Mossy Fitzgerald, Tom Connolly, Martin Frawley and Ger Riordan for their help over the season.

U20 – First Round

CMSL     2:12

ABK        1:15

Our U20 hurlers opened their championship campaign with a hard-fought draw against a strong ABK side in ideal conditions at South Liberties. There was very little to separate the teams throughout a tightly contested first half. Both sides were well up for the challenge, with some great passages of play and solid defending on show. A crucial goal from our lads just before the break gave us a slight edge, sending us into halftime with a narrow 2-point lead.

The second half continued in similar fashion, with both teams trading scores in an intense and evenly matched battle. Despite opportunities on both sides to push ahead, the game finished level – a fair result in what was a tough and competitive encounter.

Plenty of positives to take from the performance, and we now look ahead to our next fixture against Killacolla Gaels on October 26th.

U16 Final

CMSL                           1:11

Granagh Ballingarry      0:22

Hard luck to our U16s who were beaten in the county final on Saturday in Mick Neville Park. The boys gave it everything and battled right to the final whistle, but unfortunately came up short on the day.

It’s been a fantastic campaign from this group all season, showing great commitment, skill, and teamwork. Well done to the management team for their commitment all year.

We look forward to seeing them continue their development as they move on to the Minor team next year. Bright futures ahead!

U16 Semi-Final

U16 Hurling Championship Semi-Final Report

South Liberties Crecora Manister 4-07

Belville Gaels 0-04

Venue: Askeaton GAA Grounds

Date/Time: Saturday October 04th 9:30am

South Liberties Crecora Manister booked their place in the U16 Hurling Championship Final with a comprehensive victory over Belville Gaels in a windswept Askeaton on Saturday morning. Despite the early throw-in and difficult playing conditions, the team produced a strong, composed performance to run out deserving 4-07 to 0-04 winners.

The swirling wind made scoring from distance extremely difficult but goals proved decisive in this semi-final encounter. After a cagey opening, Cian Hickey struck the game’s first goal on 11 minutes to settle his side. Just five minutes later, Cillian O’Doherty found the net to extend the advantage, giving South Liberties Crecora Manister a commanding seven-point lead at the break.

Belville Gaels battled bravely after the restart, but ten minutes into the second half O’Doherty struck again with his second goal of the game, this was a decisive moment that effectively ended hopes of a comeback for the Feohanagh-Castlemahon and Feenagh-Kilmeedy amalgamation. A fourth goal from Paddy O’Connell put the result beyond doubt, while points from Cian and Gearóid Hickey, Peter Ryan, Danny and David Fitzpatrick ensured a convincing final scoreline.

At the other end, Sam Collins was solid between the posts, handling the tricky conditions superbly. In defence, Dano Sheehan, Cuan Kilroy, and Daragh Mulvihill were outstanding, cutting out several dangerous attacks and driving the team forward throughout.

It was a strong all-round team display from South Liberties Crecora Manister, who now advance to the final where they will meet a very strong Granagh-Ballingarry side fresh from their victory over Newcastle West at the same venue on Saturday morning.

Team: Sam Collins, Charlie Murphy, Dano Sheehan, Dara Nash, John O’Donovan, Cian Hickey 1-03, Daragh Mulvihill, Cuan Kilroy, Paddy O’Connell 1-00, Peter Ryan 0-01, Danny Fitzpatrick 0-01, Patrick Concannon, Geraóid Hickey 0-01, Daver Fitzpatrick 0-01, Cillian O’Doherty 2-00, Daniel Lane, James Butler, Sean McMahon, Marcus Hartigan, Julian Quinn, Ollie Walsh and Ronan Downes.

Match Reports

Intermediate Football Championship

Crecora Manister 2-12

Gerald Griffins 0-09

We came into this game, played under lights in Caherdavin on the back of 3 defeats to NCW, Galbally and St Senans. This was a must win game for our lads to have any shot of avoiding the relegation play-off’s and to put in a performance like we did just proved that we are in the right grade of football and with a bit of heart, belief and determination we deserve to be here.

Written off by the majority before the game, given the pedigree of Gerald Griffins, there was a quiet inner belief amongst the group that this game would not be a one-sided affair. Training on the previous Wednesday had the biggest attendance all year and on match day was even bigger. The support for the team on the night from both the Subs and our loyal club supporters was apparent from the off and when Rory Hannon opened the scoring in the first couple of minutes, that was a lead we never relinquished for the remainder of the game.

A free from Mark Shanahan followed up by an excellent point from Jack Dalton, playing Full Back just showed the pace and movement we were doing throughout the field. The new rules bit us a few times when the ball was placed on the ground rather than handed back to allow Gerald Griffins to stay in touch but another from Rory, a classic from Colm Parnell and then to close out the half, a two pointer from Sam Riordan put us into half time on a scoreline of 0-07 to 0-04.

While we mention all the scorers, the work done throughout the field was immense from everyone and when the Half Time whistle blew, our Subs were immediately out on the pitch kicking about, just trying to catch the eye of our selectors and management team. Everyone wanted to be playing at the start of the second half.

Cathal O’Neill opened the second half with a great score, less than a minute after a similar attempt went “slightly wide”, and was followed soon after by another Mark Shanahan free and a second from Cathal. Rory was not to be out done and again popped up to tack on another score before Gerald Griffins hit their purple patch and tacked on a few points of their own.

With about 15 left on the clock there was still 4 between the teams when David Rickard was sprung from the bench and his first possession went narrowly wide before a penalty was awarded to us for a cynical pull down in the large parallelogram which Mark superbly dispatched into the top right corner. David then soon after raised the second green flag following a great ball in from Sam and was very un-lucky soon after to get his second following the forward advantage rule where he got a 45 following a goal attempt. Gerald Griffins closed out their game with 2 more points before David put the final point on the board for Crecora Manister.

So, we go into our final group game against Pallasgreen in 2 weeks’ time with renewed hope and who knows where the end of the season will take us.

Panel on the night – Stephen Keating, David Macken, Colm Parnell, Tim Moloney, Patrick Dolphin, Mark Shanahan, Cathal O’Neill, Jack Dalton, Rory Hannon, Sam Riordan, Ciaran Cusack, David Rickard, Mike McCormack, Brian Dolphin, Padraig Byrnes, Sean Malone, Donnacha Connolly, Con Kirby, Damien Kearney, Dan Carty, Thomas Shanahan
