Congratulations to all teams who took part in the U13 hurling competitions this year. A great day was had at Bishopstown GAA and the 4G pitch at Páirc Ui Chaoimh last weekend where six finals were held.
A selection of pictures below.
Rebel Óg would like to wish all students receiving their Leaving Cert results today the best of luck.
The Cork ladies minor footballers and Cork U16 camogie team are the joint winners of the July Rebel Og award.
They are both being honoured for their recent All-Ireland wins, as well as their Munster championship success.
The camogie side have kept Cork’s recent run at this age level going as they made it three title wins, both All-Ireland and Munster, in the last four years. They won in 2019, 2021 and again this year and only for the fact there was no competition in 2020 they could have been looking at four in-a-row.
Remarkable success by the young camogie stars who have to go back to 2003 for their previous success at this level before 2019.
In the Munster championship they stared with a win over Waterford, before beating Limerick in the semi-final and in the final got the better of Tipperary.
In the All-Ireland series, which is a separate competition, they lost their first game to Galway. This meant going into their second game against Kilkenny they had to win by 12 points to ensure they stayed involved in the championship. To the credit of these young players they did that, giving them a huge boost in confidence.
They followed that up with wins over Limerick and Wexford to reach the All-Ireland decider. It was no great surprise to see them face a quality Tipp side in this final as well and once again the Rebel side came out on top to complete the double for the third time in four years.
The minor footballers Munster campaign saw them also face Tipperary in the final, a game they knew was going to be far from easy.
But in the end Cork ran out comfortable winners in the end by 3-11 to 2-5. After a very tight first half Cork led at half time led by 1-6 to 1-2, the goal coming from Rachel Leahy. Second half goals from Abigail Ring and Leahy saw Cork run out deserving winners in the end.
On then to the All-Ireland series and like the U16 camogie side this was a title the Rebels were also defending. They have enjoyed great success at All-Ireland level since 2015 and were looking for their fifth title since then, losing only once in that time to Galway in 2018. This competition was not played for in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic.
The Rebels faced Cavan in the semi-final, a game that was never going to be easy, but three first half goals put them on their way to victory and on to the final where they faced Galway.
This would be the third time since 2017 that these two counties were in the final and the Rebels were aiming for a bit of revenge for their loss in 2018 to Galway.
This was always going to be a close contest and with 10 minutes to go there was only a point in it. But Cork finished the game strongly, with a goal from Ring helped them to a comfortable 1-16 to 1-8 win in the end.
THE young players of Ballydesmond Handball Club enjoyed great success recently as they came away from two All-Ireland Feile competitions with 12 medals.
A magnificent achievement for the five young players involved – Ryan Linehan, Thomas Myers, Jack Murphy, Bobby Vaughan and Dillon Ward – as they won both the 60 by 30 and 40 by 20 handball All-Ireland titles. For these achievements they were named as the June winners of the Rebel Og awards, with the presentation ceremony taking place at the Clayton Hotel, Silversprings.
The young handball stars started training approximately 10 weeks prior to the 40 by 20 Feile competition which was held in Tinryland, Carlow, on June 18. They were victorious on the day against teams from Abbeyside; Monavea; Nenagh; St Brigid’s, and Corduff.
The two teams with the highest points from a round robin series of games went head to head in the final. This saw the Ballydesmond boys take on Abbeyside from Waterford in that final. To their credit they won all their games on the day. There was an individual skills competition also on the day and Jack Murphy won that. That meant the club bought home six All-Ireland Feile 40 by 20 medals after some tough games.
Next up was the 60 by 30 Feile Competition which was held in St Mary’s Handball Club in Wexford. Being a 40 by 20 club this was the first time in their history they entered a team in the 60 by 30 competition and these young players kept their winning run going with wins over Cullohill; St Brigid’s, and Mullingar. The same applied here, with the top two meeting in the final after the round robin series.
This saw Ballydesmond face Cullohill from Laois again and once again they won all games. There was also a skills competition that Ryan Linehan took part in and won.
So for the second time Ballydesmond came home with six All-Ireland Feile 60 by 30 medals, making it 12 for the club between the two competitions.
The club was formed in 1984 and since then has achieved great success in both juvenile and adult grades, on an almost annual basis. 2022 has been an exceptional year for our Juvenile Club and especially for five of our very talented young players who competed in both 40 by 20 and 60 by 30 Feile Competitions. All of these players have won various competitions in county and Munster level playing in singles and doubles in various age groups in 40 by 20 to date.
Link to the programme for this weekend’s games in the Premier 1 and 2 minor hurling championship games.
Best of luck to all sides.
