Breige Corkery with some of our Camogie Players

Camp 4 Champs organised by Carthrach Keane and Siobhan O’Shea (club P.R.O.) took place in Teerbeg last week. Ninety seven kids attending the camp over three days. The club hopes the children had a good time and some good memories after. Kids got to meet some of Cork GAA stars in hurling, football and camogie with Breige Corkery, Damien Cahalane, Brid Stack, Eoghan Cadogan, Eimear Scally, Niamh Duggan and Peter Kelleher all attending. Other coaches who attended the camp were Fionn Keane, Luke Meade, Greg Murphy and Josie Callaghan, thanks to you all. Thanks as always to Michael and Nora McCarthy Glenview Motors and Glenmill Restaurant for the use of their field in Teerbeg. Thanks to camp sponsors Macroom Haulage and Healy’s Spar Clondrohid.

Wednesday, 19 August:

U11’s hurling league against Ballinora took place in Macroom Town Park. A highly entertaining game with end to end hurling and a never say die attitude from the players. If there were points for effort and determination Laochra Óg would certainly have finished on top. Having led at half time by two points and playing well in all quarters, Brian Healy leading the way with a tally of 4– 2 Ballinora upped their game in the second half and their pressure paid off as our lads tired in the final minutes.

Final score Ballinora 7 – 3 and Laochra Óg 5 – 4. Thanks to our supporters and team sponsors Astra Systems.
