County Cork U-16.
At this time of writing the U-16 B Team is also involved in
competition. Great credit is due to the mentors who worked
extremely hard with each individual team at this level. Also to
the people who looked after first aid. Finally a big thank you to
Finbarr Corcoran who did a magnificent job in repairing hurleys
often at very short notice.
Inter Divisional Tournament.
This tournament was organised by the Cork Minor selectors. Last
week Seandún played Imokilly. The referee gave the final score
Seandún 0-11, Imokilly 1-7. The East Cork side are disputing
this so the outcome is not known. Douglas were represented by
Frank Tobin, Paddy White, Mark Harrington, Fergal O’Sullivan,
Conor Alcock and Niall Heffernan all of whom did very well.
Senior Football.
Douglas Senior footballers travelled to Tralee last weekend to
play Kerins O’Rahillys in the opening round of the Munster
Club Football league. Paul Aherne has been appointed as manager
to the team for the new year. Douglas lost on a scoreline of 0-10
to 1-6. Watch this space next week for a more detailed report.

Under 15A Football Championship Replay
Douglas 0-7 / Nemo 2-5
In one of our worst days we had this year, Douglas and Nemo
played they’re Under 15 Championship replay at windswept
Redmonds last Saturday. Playing with the aid of the wind, Nemo
were first to settle scoring three points without reply. Douglas
were finding it very hard to come to grips with their opponents.
Stephen Bermingham opened Douglas’ account with a point from
a free. That was the only time Douglas scored in the first half.
Nemo added on another two goals and two points to leave Nemo
leading at half time by ten points. The second half started with
Douglas needing a good start and they got it. It was a different
Douglas team in the second half playing with more determination
and skill. They took the game to Nemo and scored some well taken
points. But it was not Douglas’ day. The ten point lead at
half time By Nemo was asking our lads a lot to bring down but to
their credit they fought all the way and had to give way to a
good Nemo team. Douglas has a chance to redeem themselves when
they play Nemo again in the final of the league. Players to
impress were Denis O’Sullivan in goal, Jonathan Lane (Capt)
and Colm O’Sullivan.
Congratulations to Pat O’Connor who was elected
Correspondence Secretary to the Bord na nÓg. An honour he richly
deserves.

from the beginning, Douglas Hall showed Lakewood who was boss.
From goalkeeper to forwards the Douglas side played as a team

COLLEGE CORINTHIANS AFC
After a short break for Christmas our Under Seven
Winter Street League started up again last Saturday on the club’s
all weather pitch. The league as usual provided some great
entertainment and some terrific matches.
Everton and Real Madrid are setting the pace at the tope of the
league table and they both recorded double victories last
Saturday. Everton opened with a comfortable 5-0 victory over
Liverpool and followed up with a thrilling 4-3 victory over
Chelsea. Captain George McClone, David Barrett, Kevin Hodgins and
Conor Flanagan were the stars for Everton while for Chelsea Michèal
Martin, Richard Sweetman, Kevin O’Sullivan and Richard Lynch
were outstanding.
Real Madrid were in Sparkling form defeating Barcelona by 6-2 and
following up with a 7-4 victory over Manchester United. Chris
McCauliffe, Eoin O’Connell, Conor Horgan and Mark Dolan were
superb for Real Madrid while for Manchester United, Dean O’Sullivan,
James O’Shea, Ryan Flanagan and Jason Higgins did well.
In other games played Liverpool with David O’Sullivan, Dara
Twomey and Gary O’Donovan in fine form defeated Arsenal by 3-2
and Cork City recorded a good 3-1 victory over Manchester United
with James Burke, Kieran Elzhi, Art Kelleher and Kieran Trindler
in fine form.
Schoolboys Section
It was a bust weekend on the schoolboy front with six of our
teams in action. Our under 11 and under 13 Premier Division sides
progressed to the quarter finals of the local cup but our under
15’s suffered a heavy league defeat against Rockmount.
Under 11
In extremely blustery conditions our Corinthian Boys found a very
committed Wilton side very spirited opposition, however
eventually their experience told and goals by Barry O’Driscoll
(2) and Christopher Fox gave them a 3-0 victory. Goalkeeper John
Forrest who saved a penalty, Shane Twomey and Stephen Mahon
impressed for Corinthians. Corinthians United travelled to NuFarm
for an Under 11 first division match and having conceded two
goals early on they showed great determination to fight back for
a 2-2 draw. Dean Kelly and Kevin Kelleher were on the score sheet
for Corinthians and they had top class performers in Gavin Irwin,
Kevin O’Regan and Eoin Murphy. Our third Under 11 team
Douglas Corinthians put up an excellent performance against
League Leaders Youghal securing a point in a hard fought 1-1 draw.
Kieran Woods, Stephen Murphy, Eoin Corcoran and Conor Murphy
played well for Douglas Corinthians.
Under 13
Corinthian Boys travelled to Ballyvolane to take on Leeds in
their Under 13 third round cup match and came away with a
comfortable 2-0 victory. David Meyler and Stephen O’Brien
scored for Corinthians and their best on the day were Terry O’Connell,
Eric Hegarty and Cian Cummins. There was great joy for our under
13 second team Douglas Corinthians who recorded their first
League victory of the season when they defeated Cobh Ramblers by
3-1. Brian Tierney, Jonathon Perrott and John Cronin were on the
score sheet for Corinthians while Mark Walsh, Mark Trindler and
Daniel Cronin turned in excellent performances. Well done to all
concerned including the management team of Dan Cronin, Jeff
Minuet and John Neville. Hopefully this will be the first of many
victories.
Under 15
Our Under 15s took on a very strong Rockmount side. They put up a
brave performance battling hard throughout and making it as
difficult as possible for Rockmount, however, in the closing
stages, Rockmount’s class shone through and they ran out
deserving 5-0 winners. Alan Barry and Michael Burke turned out
fine performances for Corinthians at the heart of the defence.

DOUGLAS HALL AFC
Last weekend was extremely busy, with matches for
different teams throughout the weekend. Overall it was quite a
successful weekend, with the Youths and Under 15's advancing in
their respective Cups, the 11's and MSL Juniors winning in the
league and the 15 Division 1 side securing a draw. However the
Seniors found St. Marys too strong in the league.
The Seniors were at home to the table toppers St. Marys in the
league and, like many others, found them too hot to handle. This
was a very open game with chances aplenty for both sides, but
Marys emerged with a 2-0 win, for the vital three points on offer.
The 'Hall had defended very well during the first half and the
match was scoreless at the interval. Gary Aherne made a couple of
fine saves in the 'Hall goal to keep the match scoreless.
In the second half, the 'Hall were much more enterprising
creating a couple of clear openings. However, Mary's took the
lead when a corner was unfortunately deflected to the 'Hall net.
They quickly followed with a second goal and tightened the game
up to emerge with a 2-0 win.
The MSL Juniors got a measure of revenge in the afternoon, when
they were 3-1 winners over St. Marys in the league. The 'Hall
were good value for the victory, never in any real danger. The
'Hall scorers were Stuart Howard (2) and Martin Davis. The AUL
Juniors were disappointingly deprived of an extremely good result
when their Corinthians Cup match against Village Utd was
abandoned with the 'Hall leading 2-1.
For the record, the scorers were Rory O'Sullivan and Brendan
Crown.
The Youths hosted Johnville from Waterford in the Munster Youths
Cup. The 'Hall dominated the first half completely and were well
worth their 2-0 half time lead. The goals were two beauties,
scored by Robert Heffernan, from a free and Declan O'Connell. The
second half was more balanced, with the Waterford side coming
more into the game. Patrick White, in the 'Hall goals, made an
important save from a header, and from there to the end the 'Hall
again took control. Late in the match the win could have been
more emphatic, if the 'Hall finishing had been better. The reward
for the Youths is a home Quarter Final against Evergreen from
Clonmel. The provisional date for this fixture is 3rd February.
The Under 15 Premier side needed a wake-up call in their Evans
Cup fixture away to Nufarm Athletic. Nufarm took an early lead
and snuffed out much of the 'Hall threat early on. However, the
'Hall persisted and eventually emerged with a 4-1 win. The
scorers were David O'Connell (2, 1 from a penalty), Ian Shortland
and Gareth Twomey. The 'Hall now face Carrigaline Utd. to get
into the open draw section of the Evans Cup.
The Under 15 Division 1 side maintained their recent good form,
with a 1-1 draw against Tramore Athletic. This match was played
when the wind was at its strongest on Saturday, which tended to
spoil the match. However, both sides battled gamely and the 'Hall
struck very late with a Tim Linehan goal to earn a deserved draw.
The Under 11's also kept their good form going, with a fine 3-1
win over Leeside in the league. The scorers were Frank Desmond (2)
and Thomas Dynan. This side now has three wins in succession and
are emerging as a nice team, with definite future prospects.

Saturday, 19th January:
AUL Junior League: Home v. Dripsey Celtic, 2.30
Sunday 20th January:
