BLACKROCK HURLING CLUB
Indoor Hurling.
The Rockies winter indoor hurling programme commenced at St.Anthonys
School Hall Ballinlough last Saturday morning at 9am. The very
bad weather outside made no difference to the young Rockies and
their parents as over 150 youngsters aged from 4 to 9 turned up
ready for action. For many it was their very first morning and
after the initial shyness and wonder they duly got stuck in and
hurled away. Next Saturday morning cannot come around quickly
enough for these young hurlers who had a great time. The indoor
hurling programme continues over the next five weeks at St.
Anthony’s School Hall.
The under 10s are on Friday evenings St. Anthony’s Hall at 5.45

DOUGLAS CAMOGIE CLUB
By Eileen O’Mahony
UNDER 18 CHAMPIONSHIP V FR O’NEILLS.
Douglas started well and kept the momentum going throughout the
game. The opening score for Douglas was a combination of skill
and sheer heart. Jenny O ‘Donovan struck a beautiful ball
however it looked like it was going wide but it was skillfully
kept in play by Niamh O’Donovan who drove it across the goal
were Michelle O’Donovan added a wonderful finish to bury it
in the back of the net. Playing against a blustery wind Douglas
kept the pressure on and were rewarded with a goal From Niamh and
points from Jenny O’Donovan and Laura Walsh.Tremendous hard
work in the backline by Theresa Buckley, Louise Sheehan and Fiona
O’Donovan kept the Ballymacoda girls at bay. Second half was
a blustery affair with driving rain, however the Douglas girls
threw themselves into the game especially Helen O’Mahony at
center field. Twenty minutes before full time sub Rachel O’Sullivan
connected from a ball from Lavinia O’Mahony and the Fr O’Neills
goalie didn’t stand a chance, a wonderful goal. A point from
Niamh O’Donovan and some fine goalkeeping from Caroline
Buckley Had Douglas coming away winners on a score line of
Douglas 3-3 Fr O’Neills 2-3.WELL DONE GIRLS.

DOUGLAS HALL AFC
The dreadful weather put paid to most fixtures last
weekend. However, in the two Cup matches which were played, the
'Hall had two fine victories. In the FAI Intermediate Cup, we
entertained Youghal Utd. on Sunday morning. The strong wind made
conditions difficult, but the 'Hall had the better of the play
during a scoreless first half. The game sprang to life during the
second half, when Youghal took the lead. The 'Hall looked to have
an uphill battle as Youghal had the benefit of the elements.
However, John Aherne stuck a fine equaliser from outside the box
to get us back into the game. We seized the initiative, and put
huge pressure on the Youghal defence. This pressure eventually
told when Aherne headed home Brian Wilkinson's super cross for
the winner. We are now awaiting the draw for the next round,
which is the open draw segment of the cup.
The MSL Juniors, not to be outdone, overcame Richmond 2-0 in the
FAI Junior Cup. The 'Hall were very good value for their victory
and deservedly advanced to meet UCC or Clonakilty in the next
round. The first 'Hall goal was scored by Martin Davies, rumoured
to now be approximately 40 years old, just before the interval.
Brian McSweeney added the second to seal the victory just before
the final whistle. Rory O'Reilly was very sound in goals,
recording another clean sheet.

DOUGLAS HALL LADIES
Douglas Hall Under 18’s
Douglas Hall under 18’s played their first match of the
season away to Riverstown last Sunday in very bad conditions.
With the wind in their favour Douglas Hall kicked off the first
half dominating the game straight away. An early run from right
wing Louise Martin who played a beautiful ball across the box to
line Ashling up to score Douglas Halls first goal. The girls
battled hard to keep the pressure on Sarah Walsh and Lynda Horgan
took control of mid field making some excellent passes to both
wings. This resulted in left wing Caroline laying the ball on for
forward Donna O’Leary to score Douglas Hall’s second
goal. Douglas Hall kept the pressure up fighting hard to win
every ball. The hard work paid off when Caroline Hawks scored the
Hall’s third goal and not long after Donna O’Leary got
her second and the fourth for Douglas Hall. With the wind still
driving across the pitch and this time facing into it Douglas
Hall hard to try hard to keep their four nil win over Riverstown.
The girls played very well as a team and the training is staring
to pay off. Well done girls on the first win of the season, keep
this form up and there will be no stopping you.
Douglas Hall Street Leagues
The Douglas Hall girl’s street leagues are still going
strong but its not too late yet to join in on the fun. Everyone
is very welcome every Saturday. Starting with under 8’s from
4o’clock till 5, under 10’s from 5o’clock till 6

Douglas Hall would like to Thank Frank O’Sullivan from the
TSB for sponsoring footballs for the street leagues.
Well-Done Girls!!!!!!!!
Three Douglas Hall Seniors who were selected for the Cork panel
travelled to Tipperary last Saturday to take part in an All
Ireland tournament. The girls did very well coming third in the
competition and there was some tuff competition. Well Done again
to Gem Crowley, Imelda Kelly and Grace O’Sullivan, you did
the club and your county proud.
Well Done Mary
A special well done and congratulations to Mary Barret. Mary was
picked to travel to Dublin last Saturday and take part in the
Under 17 Irish trials. After taking part in Munster trials on
Friday she headed of to Dublin on what would be an experience she
would never forget. Mary did very well on the day and whether she
makes it or not we are all very proud of her.
Well done to all the other Douglas Hall girls who participated in
the Munster under 16 trials last Friday in Buttervant. All the
girls did very well and fingers crossed that they make it.
DOUGLAS CREDUT UNION STREET LEAGUES
GARRY WHITE.
FRIDAY, 25th October, 2002: Last Friday week we opened our indoor
football season with the U-7 children taking centre stage. Large
numbers assembled at the Gym Hall and one couldn't but be
impressed by the skills and enthusiasm displayed by the
youngsters. Restricted by Gym's closed environs, we had a number
of short matches where the exchanges were intense at times. John
Moynihan was limpet-like in defence for Antrim while Kerry
stalwart, Dylan Long, was ably assisted by Adam McSweeney. The
Royals of Meath were best served by Dean O'Callaghan and Cian
Davis. Wexford's Rickard Cahalane and Sean O'Mahony were trojan-like
in their efforts, while Mayo had their heroes in Cian Murphy and
Corey O'Callaghan. Special plaudits must go to Carlow goalie,
Kevin O'Sullivan, who gave a top class display.
SATURDAY, 2nd November, 2002: Last Saturday the focus of
attention centred on the U-9 and U-10 children, and what a
sumptuous feast of football skills we were treated to.
Outstanding in the U-9 section were Cork's Rory Scannell. Down
had stars in Paul Fitzgerald and Graham Sheehan, while Ryan
Jordan and Philip Kelleher worked hard for Dublin. Paul Beale
shone for Tipperary and Brian Cuthbert lorded it for Laois,
however, Offaly's Francesco Giorgio produced the goal of the day
when he audaciously flicked the ball in mid-air over the
advancing Laois goalie.
Next up were the U-10 children who ran like well oiled machines
with their passing, shooting and movement. Peter Hanrahan and
Darragh Duggan shone for Galway, while Derry had stalwarts in
Orry O'Donoghue and David Quirke. Outstanding for Sligo were the
hardworking David O'Brien and cool full forward Stephen Randles,
and dual star Peter Carroll further enhanced his reputation for
Clare.
TRAMORE ATHLETIC
Under 15 League Tramore Athletic . 9 -v- Crosshaven
1
Our Under 15's were far too strong for Crosshaven on Saturday
afternoon. Urged on by their outstanding Manager Jason Murphy and
his Assistant Ricky Cummins. The boys played some outstanding
football to lead 4-0 at half-time with goals from Shane McCarthy,
Graham Cummins, Mark Murphy and Derek Dalton. Tramore were well
in control in the second half which was highlighted by a hat-trick
from Robert O'Sullivan. Tramores' remaining two goals were scored
by David Coughlan and the goalkeeping penalty King Roy Heaphy.
Under 13 League Tramore Ath. 10 -v- Lakewood 1
Our Under 13's got back on track this weekend with a very
convincing 10-1 win over a game Lakewood team. Not often is a
player scoring his first hat-trick for the Club outscored. This,
however, was the case as David McCarthy (3) was outscored by new
signing Conor Forde whose 4 goals were the highlight of this game.
Tramore's other scorers were Ken McAuliffe (2), and Stephen
Murphy (1). However as often is the case the platform for this
win was based on an outstanding performance by the back four and
goalkeeper Darren Farry.
AIB Under 11 Premier League Tramore Ath. 4 -v- Ringmahon Rangers
4 26/10/02
Man of the Match Stephen Finn Great credit due to two evenly
matched sides who served up a thrilling game in very poor weather
conditions at Tramore Park. Four times Ringmahon led over the
hour but this young Tramore side showed tremendous character to
finally secure a well deserved share of the points. The visitors
shaded the first half with Bobby McCarthy proving a thorn in the
Tramore defence but after the break Tramore gradually got on top
and at times their passing football on the heavy pitch was a joy
to watch. The Ringmahon defence had seemingly weathered the storm
as the game entered its' final minute but they hadn't reckoned on
the Tramore Captain Jamie Bouse leading by example and popping up
to crash home a splendid equaliser. Other scorers for Tramore on
the day were Stephen Long, Jermaine Kamara and Luke Forde while
the work rate and performance of Stephen Finn impressed everyone
in attendance.
AIB Under 11 Premier League Tramore Ath. 0 -v- Corinthian Boys 9
28/10/02
Man of the Match Aenghus O'Laoire Although the opening quarter of
this game was evenly contested Corinthian Boys eventually ran out
comfortable victors at Castletreasure on Bank Holiday Monday
morning. During these opening exchanges Stephen Finn, Robin
Russell, Luke Forde and Liam Murray all combined well to create
chances which this young Tramore side failed to convert. The home
side did convert the chances that came their way and two quick
goals as the first half ended gave Tramore a mountain to climb in
the second half.
Tramore gamely battled to save the game in the second period and
none more so than Aenghus O'Laoire who worked tirelessly
throughout this period. The exertions of having to play two
difficult games inside 48 hours eventually began to tell on this
Tramore side and although they continued to take the game to
their opponents the home side finished the stronger and were well
worth the three points.
TRAINING: Training for the under 11's takes place every Tuesday
at the Lough Community Centre from 5.00 p.m. - 6.00 p.m. and new
members interested in joining Tramore Athletic F.C. are most
welcome. Coaching is in small groups as against Academy style
coaching and there is more of a personal and hands-on approach at
the Club where Fun & Football go together. So, if you want to
play Soccer in an open and friendly atmosphere then Tramore Ath.
is the Club for you and don't forget to bring a friend. For
further details contact Derek or Deirdre on 086 3134431.
PARENTS: Not for the first time we would like to express a
sincere thank you to all the parents of the Under 11 squad for
all their help and support. Their willingness to put cars at
disposal on match days and their attendance and interest in the
games is much appreciated. These parents are a vital part of the
Club and their participation in appreciated. A special mention
for Donal Finn and John French for helping with the nets in
atrocious conditions following Saturdays home draw versus
Ringmahon Rangers.
