It has been a busy few weeks for our team. We took on Carrigtwohill on the August 10 in a hurling blitz.
On August 17 we welcomed St Finbarrs to Park South for another great morning of hurling. All the games were very competitive and we got positive results in the majority of these.
We were thrilled with all our players, they battled for every ball and played some great hurling.

Our MID1 and MID2 players made the short journey to Aghada over the weekend to play two football games in the Fe12 Football Leagues against Aghada1 and Aghada 2.
Up first on Saturday were the MID1s winning their game on a scoreline of 3-5 to 2-3 and on Sunday Morning the MID2s had a great win by winning by nine points with the scoreline being 0-13 to 1-1. Well done to all!!

It is supported as part of the Waste Enforcement Regional Lead Authorities (WERLAs) as part of their 2024 Anti-Dumping Initiative.

Event Details:
- Date: 21 September
- Time: 10 am to 2pm
- Locations: throughout Cork city and county
- Participants: Cork GAA, Cork Camogie and Cork LGFA members, supporters, and volunteers from the community together with support from Cork City Council and Cork County Councils
Key Highlights:
- Environmental Impact: By removing litter from public spaces, the initiative will help protect local wildlife, improve public health, and enhance the natural beauty of our communities.
- Community Engagement: The event encourages community participation, fostering a sense of unity and shared responsibility for the environment.
- Youth Involvement: Young athletes and their families will play a significant role, teaching the next generation the importance of environmental responsibility and community service.
