COLLEGE CORINTHIANS AFC
The extremely bad weather of last weekend forced
the cancellation of a number of our schoolboy fixtures with only
our Under 14 Premier Division side managing to beat the weather,
however the bad weather did not effect our Under 7 Street Leagues
and the finals of our Under 9 Indoor Soccer League.
Under 7
Our Under 7 Street Leagues take place every Saturday morning on
the Club’s all-weather pitch in Corinthians Park. The
leagues are open to schoolboys born in the years 1993 and 1994.
The leagues have proved a tremendous success with goals aplenty
and some cracking matches. Last Saturdays games were no exception.
The big surprise last weekend was the defeat of league leaders
Manchester United by Barcelona in a nine goal thriller. In a very
enjoyable contest, Barcelona left previous form behind to snatch
victory on a 5-4 scoreline. For Barcelona, Kieran Farmer, Brian
Lenihane, Gavin Carroll and Peter O’Brien played well, while
for Manchester United, Billy Davis was superb and he received
great support from Peter Hurley and Brian Cuttbert. Liverpool
stayed in touch at the top of the table as a result of a hard
fought 2-1 victory over Chelsea -for Liverpool James Tyner, Sean
Moloney, Shane Collins and David Barry were outstanding, while
for Chelsea Deane Nolan and Eoin Rigney did well.
Cork City have improved greatly in recent weeks and are now
moving in to a challenging position. Over the weekend they proved
too strong for title contenders Arsenal taking the points on a 6-3
scoreline. For Cork City Captain Rory Burke, Barry Egan and Garry
Beecher had fine matches, while for Arsenal Jack Wilkins, John
Moynihan and Luke O’Sullivan did well.
Everton picked up a great point in a 3-3 draw with Real Madrid.
Conor Canon, Matthew Langley and James McCarthy played well for
Everton, while for Real Madrid Evan Browne, Ian Tobin, Rory
Scannell and Peter Barry had fine matches.
Finals Day
The final of this years Under 7 Street Leagues will take place on
Saturday February 17th - weather permitting. Preparations are now
beginning in earnest for the finals and hopefully everybody will
enjoy the day.
Under 9 Indoor Leagues
The league, which has run for the last three months has proved a
tremendous success and the final day certainly lived up to its
star billing. Italy captained by David Nation took on Brazil
skippered by Dean Kelly in the main final and it was Italy who
proved the stronger side taking the spoils on a 3-1 scoreline.
Italy’s team was made up of: David Nation, Stuart Chisholm,
Robert Bennett, Jonathon O’Leary, Kieran Twohig
The Brazilian side, which was strong favourites to win the final
included Dean Kelly as captain, Ryan Nolan, Mark Parkes, Ryan
Levis and David Ring.
Other results on the day saw Germany skippered by Rory O’Brien
defeating Argentina 2-1 in the third and fourth place play off,
while Russia captained by Peter Nolan took the plate competition
defeating Portugal 3-1 in the final.
Finally Spain overcame Holland in a thrilling contest, which was
ultimately decided in a penalty shoot-out. Talking of penalties
Kevin O’Connor for Portugal proved too strong for his
contemporaries in the penalty competition taking the honours with
Ryan Nolan, Andrew Neville and Olan Kelleher finishing runners up.

trophy was Last won by the Douglas Club forty three years ago.
Sam Collins was involved with the winning team over four decades

Senior Section
Sunday next sees the start of the new season for our junior and
minor football teams.
The minor teams are very young. Some of these players on the
panels will be eligible for three years. Knowing the lads they
are looking forward to the challenge. The opening game for the
Premier Team is against our neighbours Nemo. The second Minor
Team will play Crosshaven. The junior team also open their
campaign against Nemo.
The second squad had a very usefull work out last weekend. They
defeated Rochestown in Ballyorban 1-12 to 2-2. The conditions
were very poor but overall this was a most promising performance
against an up and coming Rochestown squad. Douglas led 0-7 to 2-0
at the break. Terence Deveraux, Martin McSweeney, Joe Barry and
Declan Reidy played well. Tom Burke was top scorer

CORK GIRLS SOCCER U12 CUP Q/FINAL
Carrgaline 0-3 Douglas Hall
In terrible conditions Douglas hall took control of this game and
thanks to Karen O'Neill, Enima Hughes and Jenny O'Donovan they
had a three-goal halftime lead. Anything that did come at the
Douglas defence was superbly dealt with in particular by Chreasa
Murphy. In tile second half Mary Barrett orchestrated most of the
Douglas attacking play and she was helped by girl of the Match
Emma McCarthy and Ashling O'Sullivan. Only some superb
goalkeeping from Carrigaline in the second half kept Douglas from
increasing their lead. But this won't dampen their spirits as
they prepare to face Wilton in the semis.
