The final monthly Rebel Óg monthly award presentations went to Ballincollig, Donoughmore minor sides and Midleton CBS Dean Ryan team.

Ballincollig were honoured for winning the Premier 1 MFC for the first time since 2011 and only for the second time ever.

Donoughmore won the Premier 2 MFC for the first time and Midleton CBS were Cork’s first winners of the Dean Ryan Cup (Munster U17 A hurling) in more than a decade, when they were also Cork’s last winners of this Munster competition.

Midleton CBS led from start to finish in their win over Gaelcholáiste Mhuire AG at Páirc Uí Rinn.

A pair of early goals gave the east Cork school a firm grip on proceedings and two more in quick succession coming up to half-time ensured that they came out on top to secure the title.

Sam Ring, Cormac Deane and Dean Murphy were among their goalscorers as they proved far too strong for their opponents.

Ballincollig defeated Mallow in the county final but their award is for their journey to get there, as much as it is for the final itself.

Having lost out to Éire Óg in their final group game they had to do it the hard way, starting with a win over the title holders Douglas in the quarter-final.

They then faced St Finbarr’s in the semi-final and few, if any, present that night will forget that game for some time. An epic encounter that went all the way to penalties before the Village emerged winners to reach the final.

Ethan Donovan wrote his own little bit of history for Ballincollig, as the corner-back scored the equalising point to first take it to extra-time and then to take it to the penalty shootout.

After those two epic games it seemed destiny was on their side, but Mallow weren’t there just to make up the numbers and made the Village battle all the way to the end before they came out on top.

Donoughmore took on a fancied Castlehaven side in the Premier 2 final. Another close battle but two goals in two minutes helped them get the better of the Haven.Paddy Murphy got in behind the Castlehaven defence to raise the first green and on the next possession substitute Ciaran Lawton took a pass from David McDonnell to put his team in pole position and from here they drove on to victory.
