List of Registered Players – 15th September

Thanks to all the parents of the underage player who paid their outstanding Registration Fees during the summer. With 95% of our underage player having paid their Registration Fee we only have  a handful of player yet to pay.

Earlier this year we stressed that we needed to put a bigger push on the Adult Player to pay their Registration Fees. Thankfully more Adult Players have paid their Fees this year than in previous years.

Thanks to the Adult Players for paying their Fees. As a club we would ask the Adult Player to encourage their team mates to pay their Registration Fee, for a number of reasons:
– All Players must be Registered, a few players should not get away with not paying their Registration Fee
– Registration Fees make up a vital portion of our Club’s income each year
– A huge amount of time and effort goes into the coaching of our adult teams across both codes.
– A €50 Annual Registration Fee is great value for all the training and matches that the players partake in during the season

This year we continue in our aim for 100% Player Registration.

Great team performance by U12 hurlers

Our U12 hurlers played their final 2 matches of the league on Friday night 15th September in Rathkeale.

We started slow and a little too timidly but warmed up as the match went on.  We worked the ball well into our forwards and had some great scoring chances narrowly missing about 4 goals.

In our second match against Croom we stood back from the action and let Croom handle the ball and catch the ball in the air without contesting it.  We got more engaged and more physical in the second half and worked more as a team.

We won the second half of both matches but the slow starts cost us. Great overall to see our boys pick up their level of engagement, physicality, chasing of the ball and playing more as a team in both games. It was very encouraging to see more of our players  attack the ball and have the self belief to pick the ball and run at the opposition.

Our next match for this under 12 group of hurlers will be on Saturday 7th October in Ballinacurra Gaels where we will 2 matches in a blitz organised by Ballinacurra Gaels.

Match Report from Junior A City Semi Final:
Our Junior footballers qualified for the City Final following a hard fought win over Monaleen on Tuesday 22nd August. This game ebbed and flowed from the throw-in with both sides having periods of dominance. Monaleen exerted the early pressure and after 10 minutes, they held a three point advantage. Excellent play and leadership by Mike McCormack, Karl Moloney and Sean Monaghan helped Crecora to settled into the game and we took complete control right up to the half-time interval. During that 20 minute spell, Crecora scored 1 – 7 to no reply with scores coming from David Cregan(0 – 3), Micheál O’Neill (0 – 2) and Billy Hogan, who capped off an excellent half display with 1 – 2, his goal volleyed smartly to the net following from a crossfield ball by Cathal Monaghan. The second half saw a spirited Monaleen fight back and with 10 minutes remaining, they had closed the gap to a single point. Crecora, however, held their nerve and further scores by Michel O’Neil (0 – 2) and Mark Shanahan saw us over the line on a scoreline of 1 – 10 to 1 – 8.

Despite a long lay-off between matches, this was a very solid team performance. Rob Sweeney was assured in goal and Shane Moloney, David Macken ever dependable beside the reassuring Sean Monaghan. With Mike McCormack controlling the center, our half backs and half forwards of John Buckley, Cathal Scully, Damien Kearney, John Travers & Shane O’Connell worked tirelessly throughout, both in attack and defence. The introduction of Rob Henehan, Mark Shanahan & Ian O’Donoghue helped in securing this narrow victory.
Next up will be the City Final and also progression to the county quarter final.

Panel on the night:
Rob Sweeney, Shane Moloney, Seán Monaghan, David Macken, Cathal Scully, Mike McCormack, John Buckley, Karl Moloney, Micheál O’Neill (0-4), Shane O’Connell, John Travers, Damien Kearney, Billy Hogan (1-2), Cathal Monaghan, David Cregan (0-3), Rob Henehan, Seán Keyes, Ian O’Donoghue, Stephen Keating & Mark Shanahan (0-1).
