FOOTBALLERS WIN AGAIN
DIVISION 2A FOOTBALL LEAGUE Newmarket 1-11 Glanworth 1-12
Our intermediate footballers bagged a second win in three attempts in the league when they travelled to Newmarket and came away with a 1 point win. They are a newly senior side so it was a massive challenge for our boys but one they rose to. It has been highly encouraging the response to the opening day defeat and hopefully this form will long continue. Well done to all involved.
Team: Ciaran Cotter, Jack Blackburn, William Blackburn, Thomas Condon, Phillip Blackburn, Ger O’Neill, Jerome Fitzgibbon, Ross Murphy, Sean Finn, Podge Hannon, David Pyne, Jerome Walsh, Darragh O’Brien, Stephen Condon and Emmett Sheehan. Subs: Marc Moloney, Robert O’Driscoll, Colm Whelton, Shay Coleman and Harvey McGrath.

GLANWORTH GAA JUVENILE CLUB
The Juvenile Club is back in the swing of things with training and we were delighted to welcome a number of new members in recent weeks.
We were lucky to have had a hurling training session led by Carrigtwohill legend Mickey ‘ Da’ Fitzgerald and a football session led by Cork stalwart Michael Shields who are coaching the Glanworth adult club this year. The boys enjoyed the sessions and the new voices were refreshing to hear.
The U11 group played Castletownroche in hurling at the weekend. As usual with Castletownroche, this was a well-contested match and the Glanworth lads played really well with last years’ U9 boys making the transition up. It was a very good game.
The U9s welcomed Bride Rovers to Glanworth on Saturday. Both teams were very evenly matched and had a great game of hurling. This was the first match for many of the U9s at that age-group and they did really well, displaying the skills that they have developed over the last couple of years at U7.
Both the U9 and U11 teams will visit their Fermoy counterparts in football this Saturday morning.
We recently gave families the opportunity hand in any hurleys, helmets and football boots that may no longer be used so that they can be passed on to younger members who could give them a second life. Thanks very much to those who dropped in gear, we will accept gear again towards the end of April.
ANNUAL SPONSORED WALK 2022
We are holding our annual sponsored walk on April 24th. This is the juvenile club’s fundraiser for the year and the lads are selling lines on their sponsorship cards to raise money. They will walk a 5km course starting from the clubhouse on the day and this should be an exciting day for all the family - all are welcome. Please support our young players in their efforts - the money raised will go towards club equipment for their use.
Visit the Glanworth GAA and Harbour Rovers GAA social media page for details.
Finally, congratulations to all the local boys and girls who recently got their confirmation.
