GRENAGH GAA Club U14 and U16 county winning teams are the worthy winners of the January Rebel Óg Monthly Award.
These monthly awards are sponsored by the Clayton Hotel Silver Springs, main sponsors, and Cummins Sports (award sponsors) in association with The Echo and RedFM (media partners).
The club was founded in 1934 and is based in the village of Grenagh in the Muskerry division of Mid Cork. It draws its players from the Grenagh village, Rathduff and the surrounding areas. 2013 was a wonderful year for the club, winning the County Intermediate Football title along with the County Junior A hurling title. Since then it boasts a magnificent extra new pitch, astro pitches and hopes to see a ball alley in the not too distant future
Last year was a wonderful year for the juvenile section of the club. The U14s ended up being crowned County Division Two hurling champions and the U16s won the County Division Three hurling championship along with the County Division Two football championship.
There is great work going on in the club at the moment with huge commitment and dedication shown by the club officers and mentors across all ages.
Playing in the North region the U14 hurlers had a remarkable championship beating Buttevant 0-17 to 1-1, Ballyhea 5-12 to 2-2, Kilavullen 2-13 to 2-5 and then a narrow one point win over Ballygiblin in the semi-final 0-12 to 1-8. They met Kilavullen again in the final coming out on top 2-13 to 2-5 to win the North Championship.
In the county semi-final they got the better of Cloughduv 2-15 to 2-9 which set them up for a county final against Fr O’Neill’s at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
Great defensive play and some opportune scores at the right time gave Grenagh a foothold and they withstood a great fightback from Fr O’Neill’s to take the title.
The U16 hurlers had wins against Raonaithe na nGael 1-17 to 1-11, Diarmaid Ó Murchús 4-13 to 3-4, winning the final against Mayfield 2-17 to 0-2, before beating Kilshannig in the county semi-final 3-21 to 5-7.
The county final was against Ballyhea and in a great game they took the title by 2-16 to 3-7.
In the Division Two football championship, Grenagh had wins against Raonaithe na n Gael 3-13 to 2-10, Donoughmore 1-11 to 1-3 and Whitechurch in the final 4-12 to 1-8.
In the county championship semi-final a win against St Colum’s, 4-9 to 1-10, set up a final against Killeagh/Ita’s.
Grenagh started well to lead at the break 0-10 to 1-4, but survived an injury time scare when Killleagh/Ita’s came close to a fourth goal to take it to extra-time but Grenagh held firm and were deserving winners on a scoreline of 1-15 to 3-7, making it a great year for the club.

Cork 2-14
KIldare 1-12
CORK are in good shape to defend their U20 All-Ireland title.
They beat a good Kildare side in the final of the John Kerins Cup, in the John Lockes club, in Callan, Kilkenny, on Saturday afternoon.
Two of the heroes of last year’s team, Blake Murphy and Mark Cronin, tormented Kildare, who had come through a group containing Dublin, Meath, and Laois.
The early stages were tightly contested and the score was 0-4 each after 12 minutes, following two well-taken scores by Cronin, for Cork.
Conor Russell, Brian Hayes, and Cronin had put Cork 0-7 to 0-4 ahead by the 21st minute.
Kildare came back into the game in the last minutes of the half and the impressive Shane O’Sullivan scored twice in a row to leave the minimum between the teams.
Just as they were building momentum, a fine Cork move, in the last attack of the half, ended with Cronin setting up Murphy, who scored a goal. That put Cork 1-7 to 0-6 ahead at the break.
Cork really got on top around the middle of the pitch in the second-half and scored five points in a row between the 39th and 45th minutes. They led 1-13 to 0-8.
To give Kildare, the 2018 U20 All-Ireland winners, their credit, they didn’t buckle under that pressure and answered back with three points to come back into the game.
Any thoughts of repeating the sort of late comeback that had earned them a draw against Dublin, and a win against Meath, were banished when Blake Murphy raced away to score his second goal.
Shane O’Sullivan pulled back a late consolation goal for Kildare, but Cork were full value for their win.
Keith Ricken’s side showed good heart for the battle, as well as the talents of the likes of Murphy, Cronin, and also Daniel O’Connell, in midfield. You wouldn’t rule out these two sides meeting again, once the Championship gets into full swing.
Scorers: Cork – B Murphy 2-2 (1f), M Cronin 0-6 (1f), B Hayes 0-2, D O’Connell 0-1, F Herlihy 0-1, K Twomey 0-1, C Russell 0-1 (mark).
Kildare – S O’Sullivan 1-7 (5fs), D Kirwan 0-3, L Griffin 0-1, P McDermott 0-1.
CORK: Josh O’Keeffe; Colm O’Shea, Daniel O’Mahoney, Diarmuid Phelan; Ciaran O’Sullivan, Sean Desmond, Brian Lynch; Brian Hayes, Jack Lawton; Daniel O’Connell, Mark Cronin, Fionn Herlihy; Kieran Twomey, Blake Murphy cpt., Conor Russell. Subs: Eoghan Lehane for Desmond, 26; Aodhá Ó Luasa for Russell, h/t; Darragh Hayes for Twomey, h/t; Gerry O’Sullivan for Herlihy, 40; Ciaran Nyhan for Lawton, 52.
KILDARE: Kyle Costello; Jack Hamill, John Lawler, Sean Moore, DJ Earley, Jack Collins, Adam Conneely; Darren McDermott, Tony O’Connor; Alex Beirne, Darragh Kirwan, Findlay Nairn; Luke Griffin, Shane O’Sullivan, Paudi Behan. Subs: Aaron Browne for Beirne, h/t; Paddy McDermott for Earley, h/t; Jack Sargent for Hamill, h/t; Mark Cully for Griffin, 49; Aaron Browne for Adam Conneely, 49.
REFEREE: Chris Dwyer, Offaly.
