Lisgoold GAA Notes.

  • Nov 06,2023

Best of luck to the junior footballers as they lock horns with Canovee in the county championship at 4pm in Pairc Ui Rinn, the Minor Hurlers are playing their county final replay at 1.30pm in Bishopstown. Both Matches are on this Sunday - so a fine Double header to those who can go to both do if you can and get behind the blue and gold as both squads aim to finish the 2023 season on a high.

Adult Club

As the season is now wounding down apart from the footballers at times it’s great to pay tribute to those success in the past. So, starting a reeling in the years segment to our newsletter for the next few weeks we be releasing match reports from times gone by. A huge thank you to John Joe Regan who have provided a treasure trove of match reports. So first is back to October 2007 in where the junior footballers were on the verge of landing a first championship in 24 years, it was a few weeks before that the juveniles made the breakthrough.

Reeling in the Lisgoold Years

Cork Under 16 C Hurling Championship Final

Lisgoold          0-18 (18)

St Mark’s        1-11 (14)

At Glantane

October 18th, 2007

THE famine is over for Lisgoold, who savoured county juvenile championship honours for the first time when beating St Mark's in the Co.UI6 C Hurling Championship final in Glantane on Saturday. In 2003, saw their minors win a hurling league county title, but this was the clubs first county championship secured and a glorious one it was.

A physically stronger Lisgoold deserved their historic triumph but not before they were made to sweat it out in a bold bid by the Meelin and Freemount combination to save the outcome. However, a quartet of quick-fire points during the closing stages put the icing on the cake to complete a historic day for the East Cork boys. Lisgoold tore into the fray from the outset as man of the match Robert Smart hit four neat points.

St Mark's got to grips with the situation and proceeded to enjoy a lengthy spell of dominance. Their potential was illustrated by the outstanding play of custodian Jason O'Callaghan, T J Brosnan, Brendan O'Sullivan, Eamon Brosnan and Aidan O' Flynn. Indeed, St Mark's called the shots and six consecutive points from Brosnan, O'Sullivan, Daniel Jones and O' Flynn altered the scoreboard in favour of the Duhallow side. Lisgoold fought back and a pair of points from Jamie Woods narrowed the deficit 0-9 to 0-6 at the break.

Lisgoold enjoyed a promising start to the second half and points to John McCarthy and Smart tied up matters. The momentum remained with Lisgoold through key contributions delivered by Killian Kingston, John Cronin, Conor Walsh and John McCarthy. And chief talisman Smart continued to pile on the scores from play and placed balls.

St Mark's hit back with a vengeance and a goal from substitute Declan O' Riordan squared matters with eight minutes remaining. Lisgoold turned the screw, Smart and the accurate Woods hit two points apiece to put the game out of reach. The full-time whistle sparked scenes of celebration amongst all associated with the proud club. Coupled with the club adult junior footballers in a divisional final to be played in a few weeks, Lisgoold GAA club is one on an upward curve.

Bantry Blues   5-14 (29)

At Glenville

October 22nd 2023


Last Sunday our minors took on Bantry in Glenville and unfortunately met a more clinical team on the day. After getting a good start through Molly and Lainey Lisgoold failed to covert numerous chances and Bantry clawed it back to have the score at half time Lisgoold 2-8 v Bantry 3-7. The second half started well and both teams traded scores and were level with 5 mins to go. Lisgoold should have scored a goal and point but didn't convert and Bantry went straight down the other side of the pitch and had 2-1 scored before the ref blew the final whistle.

Well done to all the panel and this team are not finished they have an East cork final to play in the next Two weeks.
