Two Club Men selected as Country Minor vice Captains
Crecora Manister GAA are proud to congratulate both Patrick Dolphin (Minor Football) and Cathal O’Neill (Minor Hurling) on being named as Vice Captains of the county teams. Both players have come up through the underage academies since U13’s and have been ever present on the county scene since then.
Both players are also dedicated club men and can both be seen most evenings at the field in Crecora practicing free’s and sidelines with their club team-mates. All in Crecora Manister GAA and the Crecora Manister community wish both lads the best of luck for the season ahead with Patrick first up in the Gaelic Grounds on Wednesday 10th April against Clare in the Munster Minor Football Championship.

U14 Football Feile
Our U14 Football team, playing as Kilpeacon competed over the weekend in the new Feile Football blitz format. We were grouped with Killacolla Gaels , Ahane and Ballybrown . While the match results did not go our way, the players fought hard in every game and most importantly, never gave up which is the ethos of Feile, to compete and enjoy.
We wish the best of luck to the teams who made it through to the finals and look forward now to the U14 Feile Hurling in a couple of weeks time. See photo of team below.

Junior Hurling
Our Junior Hurlers are down to play Monaleen in the City Hurling League this Saturday at 6pm in Monaleen. Our game last weekend was postponed due to opposition not being able to field a team. Under new management and with some new additions to the panel from last year’s Minors we are looking at building throughout the league campaign culminating later in the year with a good tilt at the championship.
We hope you will come out and support our young team in the season ahead.

Scór
This year is the 50th Anniversary of Scór.With this in mind the girls who won the All Ireland Scór na nOg in 2012 in Rince Foirne decided to enter Scór Sinsear 2019. Six of the eight girls were in a position to participate.

Aisling Coughlan, Amy O’Connor,Caoimhe Sheehan,Eimear Mahon, Emer Kennedy, Niamh Murphy, Orla Byrnes & Sinead Murphy.

The girls won the County Final which was held in Askeaton on 23rd February. This qualified them to perfom in the Munster Final in City Hall in Cork on 2nd March.

Unfortunately they did not win . They were very disappointed as they danced very well and got great comments from the judge but were pipped at the post.

The girls enjoyed the time spent practising with Muirne Bennis.They would like to thank her for all her time and encouragement over the past number of weeks. They also wish to thank Crecora Manister GAA for sponsorship during the competitions.
