Four U16 sides were honoured with the September Rebel Óg monthly award at the Clayton Hotel, Silversprings, for their success in the Premier 1 and 2 championships and leagues.

All four sides did the double in their respective competitions, the first time that all four league winners went on to win the championships as well.

In the hurling it was Premier 1 delight for Sarsfields with Blackrock taking the honours at Premier 2 level.

In football Douglas won the Premier 1 title, while Clonakilty took home the cup at Premier 2 level.

A goal from Cormac Fennessy helped Sars to secure the title with Tom Huggins also rowing in with crucial points over the hour in their 1-19 to 1-14 win over Glen Rovers.

In the Premier 2 final Blackrock’s outstanding performance all throughout ensured they led from start to finish, as they defeated Douglas by 3-20 to 1-11.

Two goals from Shane O’Shaughnessy, along with one from Jack Punch in the second-half ensure there was no way back for Douglas as the Rockies ran out deserving winners on the night.

However Douglas had a bit better luck in the Premier 1 final as they faced a Na Piarsaigh who had won the U15 title the previous season. Thomas Murray was the hero with a point three minutes into second half additional time to win the game for his side by 1-13 to 1-12, with Ben Herlihy getting their goal.

In the Premier 2 final Clonakilty had a 1-15 to 2-6 win over St Nicholas. Clon, inspired by a 1-4 tally from Tom Whooley, found the crucial scores when the game hung in the balance to ensure the cup headed to west Cork.

Michael O’Mahony, chairperson of Rebel Óg congratulated all sides on their successes and said the championship finals were all top-class games, with all sides deserving winners.

He wished them all the best of luck in their school games over the coming months and looked forward to seeing them playing at minor level next season.

Michael Evans, chairperson of the judging panel, also said it was great to see four different clubs being honoured and praised all for their efforts over the season.
