Bishopstown win U18 Premier 1 football league title

Bishopstown 2-6

Nemo Rangers 1-8

It was delight for Bishopstown as they won the Premier 1 U18 league title at the Mardyke.

In an entertaining game, they got the better of Nemo Rangers, with a goal from Darragh O’Donovan late on proving to be a crucial score.

It put them two points up and despite the best efforts of the Trabeg side, the Town hung on for a deserved win.

O’Donovan was one of several impressive displays for the winners on the night, with Denis Murphy, Max Sheridan, Kevin Murphy, and Cian McGrath also in top form.

For the Town, this was a win built over the last few years and a lot of these players would have suffered heartbreak in the minor (U17) championship last year when they lost out late on to Valley Rovers in the semi-final.

This win will help to ease the pain of that loss and no doubt a lot of these players will go on to represent the club for many years to come.

Joseph Lyons got Nemo off the mark, with McGrath getting the Town’s first point.

A second from Lyons, followed by a white flag from Darragh O’Sullivan put Nemo 0-3 to 0-1 ahead.

McGrath pulled a point back before Colm Daly equalised.

Liam Jordan, for Nemo, and O’Donovan both scored to see the sides level 0-4 each at half-time.

Lyons and O’Donovan both pointed early in the second half, before both sides raised green flags within a minute of each other.

Calum O’Neill was on target for Nemo and Daly at the other end, as it looked like extra time was going to be needed to separate them.

Lyons and McGrath were on target to make it 1-6 each with time running out.

Conor Yelland put Nemo in front before O’Donovan blasted to the back of the net to put the Town two to the good, 2-6 to 1-7.

A late point from Jordan made it a nervous finish for the Town, but their defence stood strong to ensure they emerged as champions.

Nemo Rangers: C O’Neill 1-0, J Lyons 0-4 (3f), L Jordan 0-2 (2f), D O’Sullivan, C Yelland 0-1 each.

Rebel Óg honours St Colman’s and Loreto Secondary Schools

It was a double for Fermoy as the first two Rebel Óg awards of the year were presented yesterday.
Then first two monthly winners were St Colman’s College and Loreto Secondary School Fermoy.
St Colman’s were honoured as they bridged a 12-year gap to win the O’Callaghan Cup (Cork PPS SAHC final).
A dominant display saw them see off the challenge of Gaelcholáiste Mhuire an Mhainistir Thuaidh by 1-24 to 1-10, with captain Michael O’Driscoll leading by example.
On the day of the final at MTU they had nine different scorers, with the dead-ball striking of Jamie Magner (0-11 overall) also significant.
Loreto showed that the hard work they have been putting in since last August was worth it as they won three Munster titles and one All-Ireland camogie title in January.
They overcame tough opposition in Coláiste an Phiarsaigh, Cork; Scariff from Clare and Laurel Hill, Limerick, before facing Kinsale Community School in the Munster final, with they won by 3-7 to 2-4.
They also added the Muster Sevens Munster title to their trophy cabinet and following on from this to Meath to compete in the All-Ireland series.
They had a good win in the semi-final to secure their place against St Marks of Down in the All-Ireland final. After a close battle they won by three points.
The other title they won was the Cork Colleges Junior title, beating GC Mhuire AG in the final.
Speaking at the event Michael O’Mahony, chairman of Rebel Óg congratulated both schools on their success and said they should use these wins to build on going forward.
He said they were a credit to themselves, their families and their schools and he hoped they would enjoy playing sport for many years to come.
Also echoing these sentiments Mick Evans, chairperson of the judges said that the schools’ structure plays a vital and important part in the development of players for clubs and county sides, and long may that continue.

Rebel Óg awards a great success as Douglas win overall award

Denis Hurley, Sarsfields ‘Hall of Fame ‘ winner with Cllr Deirdre O’Brien, County Mayor and Cllr Deirdre Forde, Lord Mayor and members of his family at the Rebel Óg annual awards,  banquet sponsored by the Clayton Hotel Silversprings. Picture: Eddie O’Hare

It was a night of celebrations at Clayton Hotel, Silversprings as the annual Rebel Og awards banquet was recently.

Underage players across hurling, football, camogie, ladies football and handball were all honoured  for their achievements in 2022, with a presentation made to all the monthly winners to mark their success.

More than 330 people attended the banquet as they got the chance to put away hurleys and footballs to relax and enjoy the occasion.

Two specials presentations are made on the night as well as a guest of honour to keep all present entertained.

MCs on the night were Ger McCarthy from The Echo and Colm O’Sullivan from RedFM, both media partners, who opened the proceedings by calling on Tracy Newman, general manager of the Clayton Hotel, Silversprings, sponsors of the overall and monthly awards, who welcomed all to the banquet.

The first person to be honoured was the Hall of Fame recipient, with Kevin Cummins of Cummins Sports, as the award sponsor.

Like the overall winner they don’t know until their name is announced who they are and the applause from around the room showed just how popular a choice Denis Hurley from Sars was.

In his speech announcing the winner, Michael Evans, chairperson of the judging panel, said: “This award highlights the culture which lies at the very heart of our association. It gives us an opportunity to shine a light on the ethos of volunteerism that underpins every aspect of our activities.

“It is really incredible to think Denis began  volunteering with his club in 1950 at the tender old age of 17 when he acted as club secretary. On the playing front he won two senior County hurling championship medals in 1951 and 1957.

“He played minor hurling for Cork and also played senior in the National League.

“In the Inter-county arena, our recipient was a Cork hurling selector with various Cork teams from 1966 to 1997. During his period as a selector Cork won four senior All-Ireland hurling titles, eight Munster championships and one National League title.”

The other award on the night was the Douglas minor sides who were named overall winner for the year from the monthly recipients. They were picked for winning the Premier 1 minor double, an achievement last done 20 years ago and they were all the first club to do so since Rebel Og was formed.

The night was rounded off with a Q&A with former Cork star Eoin Cadogan, who as well as recalling his playing days with the county, also had some advice for the young players present around nutrition and other parts of training.

A great night was had, with all looking forward to next year’s event already.

New Cork GAA Jersey launched

A chara,

We are delighted to share with you details of our new Cork GAA Jersey.   The new kit offers a modern take on a classic.

Cork GAA – in partnership with Sports Direct and O’Neills – has unveiled its new home jersey for the 2023 and 2024 season. This is the second generation of Cork jersey sponsored by Sports Direct, which operates six stores across the county and 61 nationwide.

The new jersey incorporates a number of new features that resonate with classic jerseys from a different era. The white neck collar returns, while extra white elements have been restored to the sleeves.

The three lines on the white sleeve represent the three pillars of Cork GAA – Club, School, and County. The corresponding stylish white shorts offer the same pattern in reverse.

Features from the Cork GAA logo have been subtly added to the back of the jersey, featuring Shandon Bells with Queen’s Old Castle and King’s Old Castle on either side, and Bandon Bridge to the foreground.

Marc Sheehan, Chairperson Cork GAA, said, “Our partnership with Sports Direct has really borne dividends in the past two years, and we really look forward to seeing this new design on the pitches and in the stands when the league and championship begin in earnest in 2023.”

This is the third year of official sponsorship of Cork GAA by Sports Direct.

Leonard Brassel, Managing Director of Sports Direct Ireland said, “Now coming into year three of our partnership with Cork GAA we are proud of what the teams have achieved, not just at senior level but also with their minors and under 20s. As before, the new jersey will take pride of place in our Cork stores, and we expect there to be strong demand from some of the most passionate GAA supporters in Ireland. We wish the players, management and all in Cork GAA the very best of luck in the season ahead, we look forward to seeing this new jersey coming to life on the field and on the Rebel fans for the League and All-Ireland Championship in 2023.”

The Number 1 jersey will be a throw-back to the 1990s, with a dramatic return of the red and white stripes worn by the goalkeepers on the All-Ireland double-winning team.

Kevin O’Donovan, CEO Cork GAA, said “Cork fans are tremendously proud of their jerseys, and we hope that this year’s design will join the list of classics worn by the Rebels over the decades. The design has been carefully crafted by O’Neills to incorporate the best elements of jerseys from times past, and we are particularly proud of the return of an iconic goalkeeper design. We look forward to seeing our teams succeed in this new jersey.”

Tony Towell, Managing Director of O’Neills added, “We are very proud of the new Cork jersey for 2023. The new 3D silicone badge, silicone stripes, and county name on the sleeves showcase the latest manufacturing techniques we use to full effect. The watermark on the back of the iconic towers and Shandon Steeple depicted in the county crest is unmistakable. These features along with an overall traditional look will give the Cork people a jersey they can be proud of.”

The new Cork Kit – manufactured by O’Neills – goes on sale exclusively in Sports Direct Stores or online at https://ie.sportsdirect.com

and https://www.oneills.com/ from 10am today.
Fans can enjoy €10 off* with every purchase of the Cork GAA Home jersey and/or kit in all Sports Direct stores or free delivery online (*€10 off in form of a voucher on the next purchase).

Douglas minors honoured for their double success

RORY NOONAN

The Douglas minor squads are the September winners of the monthly Rebel Óg awards.

They were honoured for their recent success in both the Premier 1 and 2 minor championships, becoming the first club in 20 years to hold both titles at the same time.

It was also the first time in the club’s history they won both titles in the same year, having enjoyed success in recent times in either hurling or football but not in the same season.

Since 1926 only six other clubs have done the double, with some doing it on more than one occasion as Douglas now joins that small band of elite winners.

In the hurling decider, they defeated Midleton, with goals from Charlie Lucas, Joe Harnett, and Ronan Dooley helping to secure the title.

It was a quick turnaround, and a week later they faced Valley Rovers in the football final.

But the momentum of the hurling win helped them get over the line with goals from Harry Quilligan, Robert Hanley, and Alex Lynch raising green flags on the night.

At the presentation ceremony, Lord Mayor of Cork Cllr Deirdre Forde congratulated the players, their mentors, and the club on their success.

The Lord Mayor said they were an example for all your people and she hoped they would continue to both play and enjoy playing sport for many years to come.

Michael O’Mahony, chairman of Rebel Óg also congratulated the winners and said that to win one county title in a season is a major achievement but to win two in the one year at Premier 1 level is simply outstanding.

He congratulated all involved on their hard work, not just this season, but over many seasons that led to this success and the historic victory, it was for the club.

If you want to nominate a club, team or individual for the monthly award then email probng.cork@gaa.ie stating the reasons why.
