Laochra Óg’s latest developments
OUR U10 boys whom played their sixth away game against a very strong Diarmuid O Mathunas who took an early lead increasing it all the ways up to half time with our lads fighting back to get into the match in the second half and improving as it went on never giving up.
Thanks to Sean and Ó Mathunas for a very sporting game and to our parents for continuing to bring the lads to the matches. Great to see new players joining the panel lads back from injury and younger players stepping up and with more due back from holidays and plenty of more matches coming up a busy Summer of hurling. FOLLÁIN our sponsors deserve our continued support.

Underage Awards Evening - The Riverside Park Hotel played host to Macroom FC last week to celebrate a tremendous 2017/18 underage season. The event received great support from players, parents and supporters as medals and personal accolades were presented.
There was plenty of silverware on show as the U12 girls team proudly displayed their league and cup double. The U12A boys also had a great year capturing league honours. Along with this the U14 side won promotion to the Premier league. The U15s also secured promotion to division 1 and were runners up in the Neil Welch cup final. Our U14 and U16 teams both reached the last 32 in Ireland in the National Cup for the first time ever.
Each team in the club from U12-U16 also presented awards for Player of the Year, Top Scorer and Most Improved Player.
Medals were presented by former Macroom FC Under 16 players Cormac Buckley and Dylan Twomey.
Both of these players are now playing with Cobh Ramblers U17s in the League of Ireland and are doing fantastically well.
Eoin Guiney, who played U16 with Macroom this year also helped out with the presentation.
Eoin has been a regular with Cork Schoolboys league teams in recent years and has already pocketed several All Ireland medals himself. All three are an excellent example to aspiring Macroom FC players and it is proof that the club structures are producing top players.
Chairperson Denis Murray welcomed all in attendance and congratulated all award winners.
He also complimented all coaches for their commitment throughout the year and he thanked the many parents who also provide support.
Trophies were kindly sponsored by Paul Barrett Construction and Macroom FC would like to acknowledge this fantastic ongoing support of the club.
Macroom FC can now look forward with much optimism to the 2018/19 season with large playing numbers throughout the various grades.
New volunteers are always needed and most welcome. Anyone interested in helping out is asked to contact any manager, club or committee member.
