Camogie
Our 13's played in the final of the U14 B2-1 Championship against Eire Og on Saturday morning 25th October, 2025 in Castle Road. It was a beautiful morning and the girls, despite a slow start played their hearts out - they battled against a strong wind in the first half and were 4 points down after 35 minutes but put on a fantastic performance in the second half which earned them a draw at full time. In the 20 minutes of extra time, the girls again dug deep, showed grit, strong team work and great determination but unfortunately lost by a goal.
We are so proud of this group of girls who have reached two finals this year and are putting all this experience in the bag for the future - well done girls, we know you have great times ahead!
Well done to Abi and Grace who joint captained the team for the final.
We are now looking forward to our end of year activity playing hurlgolf in Belgooly on Sunday November 2nd.
Ladies Football
Minor County Football 1/4 Final Saturday Oct 25th 2025
Our Minor Ladies Football team have advanced to the County Semi Final after their victory against St Michaels last Saturday morning in Park South. Playing into a strong breeze in the first half the girls fought hard to keep the score difference between the teams to as small a margin as possible. Having a one point lead going into the second half gave us great momentum and the girls ended up eventual winners. Thanks to St Michaels for a great game.
Final score Midleton 7-05 St Michaels 4-03
We now play Valley Rovers in Park South on Nov 5th at 7.45pm. All support welcome.

Juvenile
Fe 15 notes
Another busy week for the lads as we finally got our hurling and football championship campaigns underway. On Tuesday the 21 st we faced Blarney in a repeat of last year’s county final. With both teams having gone up a grade we knew this would be a great challenge. We started well out of the blocks getting a few scores on the board before Blarney really got going. Blarney did get into the game, but our defence held firm and made every score a hard earned effort. The game was even for long spells with both teams finding scores hard to come by. But our lads to be fair clicked into gear and finished the game with a flourish and scored a freely in the last quarter to run out 4-8 to 10pts victors.
On Sunday last we got our hurling campaign underway with a trip to picturesque Araglin to take on Kilworth/Araglin Og in the quarterfinal of the Premier 1 championship. Every previous encounter with this opposition has been a battle between two evenly matched teams. On Sunday was another such game. In a tight match like these you need everybody to put their shoulder to the wheel which to be fair the lads did. While not shooting the lights the lads dug deep to come to come away with a tight victory in a low scoring game. 0:14 to 10 pts. Well done lads in progressing in both codes. There will be matches coming on fast and furious in both codes for both teams so keep an eye on the messages.
Fé 6 Boys
It’s being a busy year for our U6 boys which started in the community centre back in October of last year and we will be bringing the curtain down this coming Saturday in Park South 3G pitch from 10am. Many thanks to all our coaches, helpers, parents and of course our young magpies. A bright future awaits this amazing group of young boys.

Our u8 group were very lucky that they got to play at the half time of the Senior County Final in Pairc Ui Chaoimh. A fantastic experience for these young boys. Hopefully we will see them one day playing Senior Hurling for our Club.
