FIVE Cork Féile Cup winning teams are the June winners of the Rebel Óg Monthly awards, sponsored by the Clayton Hotel, Silver Springs and Cummins Sports (award sponsors) and in association with The Echo and RedFM, media partners.
In camogie the three winners are Éire Óg, Clonakilty and Ballyhea/Milford and in hurling it is Bandon and Killeagh/Ita’s.
Éire Óg won the Division 1 title, having deafeat fellow Cork side, Sarsfields, in the final at Castle Road by 0-5 to 0-2. Their victory was all the better as they were taken to extra-time in their semi-final, just an hour or so before the final.
Clonakilty were crowned Division 2 winners and the final against Loughgiel Shamrocks from Antrim, who had topped their group, was a tough contest. But a goal from Katie O’Driscoll just before half-time swung the game in their favour as they won 2-5 to 1-3.
Ballyhea/Milford were winners in Division 5, getting the better of Causeway from Kerry in the final. Clara Crowley got the all-important goal in their 1-8 to 0-4 win.
In the hurling deciders Bandon were the Division 5 victors, thanks to a 4-8 to 3-5 win over Four Roads, Roscommon. It took extra-time to separate these two sides, in a pulsating game. Sean Ahern got a point to take it to extra-time, with Darragh Collins getting the goal in extra-time to win it.
Killeagh/Ita’s, who are also off to the football next weekend, won Division 6, with a 3-8 to 0-4 victory over Mullinavat, Kilkenny, in the final.

This weekend approximately 40,000 people will descend on the Cork and Kerry region as the John West Féile of hurling and camogie kicks off.
More than 256 teams, with thousands of players and coaches involved, sees 80 hurling and 48 camogie ‘home’ sides, matched with travelling teams from all over the country, make their way to Cork or Kerry for the weekend.
Players will be hosted by families from the home sides and games will commence on Friday afternoon, with the finals on Sunday, at both cup and shield level.
A busy weekend will start on Friday with 256 games alone taking place that evening.
Add in another 128 early on Saturday morning before you get to quarter and semi-final stage and it shows the level of organising it takes. Saturday afternoon will see the quarter-finals taking place with the semi-finals and finals, in cup and shield, taking place on Sunday. The competition is sponsored by John West Ireland and without their help it would be virtually impossible to run these tournaments.
This is the fourth year that John West will sponsor the underage tournament and they are delighted to announce the extension of this sponsorship till 2022. Throughout its sponsorship of the Féile, John West has focused on encouraging children to participate in Gaelic Games while emphasising the importance natural protein plays in fuelling a young athlete.
John West General Manager Peter Rooney said: “We are delighted to be here in Cork and to extend our partnership with Féile until 2022. The Féile is a unique series of events which hold a special place in our hearts.
“The competitions highlight the importance of sport in children’s lives, which is something John West is truly passionate about, and it also allows us to educate on the importance of natural protein in children’s diets.”
On behalf of the organising committee, chairman John Purcell wished all taking part the best of luck and he also thanked all those who have given up their time to both organise it and to travel with the teams to Cork or Kerry.
The next meeting of the East Region will take place on Monday, May 27, at 7.30pm at Midleton GAA Club.
All clubs are requested to be represented.
Today, we are asking that all clubs operate Go Games under “Silent Sidelines”.
Parents/Supporters may applaud positive play.
With this in mind, we are asking all clubs to implement “Silent Sidelines” for all Go Games matches and blitzes this weekend.
3. Allows the children to communicate with each other and make team decisions themselves.
Silent Sidelines has been used at youth sport worldwide and proved successful. This is a chance for adults to see that children do not need to be constantly instructed on the field of play. It is a chance for adults to actually sit back and watch the games without worrying about what to say next. It is a chance for children to make decisions without worrying about what Coach/Parent might say. An environment free from criticism and critique.
The next meeting of the Mid South Region will take place on Monday , May 27th at 7.30pm in Eire Og Club.
It is important that all clubs nominate a delegate to attend.
