EAST CORK FOOTBALL SKILLS FINALS
Last Saturday in Killeagh the East Cork Region held its annual skills football for U12, U13 and U14. Each club had 3 players from each of the age groups.
Congratulations to our U12 lads Patrick O’Sullivan, Shane Krol and Darren Cahill who finished 1st and qualified for next weekend’s County Final.
U13
We had Harry Wain, Calum O’Callaghan and Dylan Joyce and they agonisingly lost out by a shot and finished 2nd.

INTERMEDIATE FOOTBALL LEAGUE Millstreet 3-13 Glenville 0-05
Glenville’s fantastic start to the league came to a halt on Saturday when a depleted side travelled to Millstreet. Glenville were competitive throughout the first half until Millstreet scored two goals in quick succession with only a minute to go.
Glenville’s work rate throughout the match couldn’t be faulted. With the dedication shown during the match, we will no doubt get back to winning ways in our next match.
JUNIOR FOOTBALL LEAGUE Glenville 0-10 St Finbarrs 3-10
Despite the scoreline, Glenville were competitive throughout but unfortunately two goals just before half time gave St Finbarrs a lead they never relinquished.
Glenville battled gamely throughout and got stronger as the game went on. A particular highlight was a superb long range point from the veteran Brian Cosgrove who managed to turn back time with his non-stop running.
