Cork Reach Cadbury U21 Football Final!! The Cork U21 Footballers began their 2014 campaign with a hard-fought
victory over Kerry in Tralee on March 12th, eventually emerging victorious
on a scoreline of 0-18 to 2-8. Despite missing a number of players
through injury, they went on to easily dispose of Limerick at Páirc Uí Rinn
on March 19th to set up a final meeting with 2011 All-Ireland Minor
Champions, Tipperary. This mouth-watering Munster final, a fourth in a
row for Cork at this level, is scheduled for Wednesday, April 9th at 8pm
at Páirc Uí Rinn, and to add to the evening’s entertainment, will be
preceded by the Electric Ireland Munster Minor Hurling Championship
Quarter-Final, Cork v Kerry, at 6.15pm. See www.gaacork.ie for more
information, and best of luck to all involved!!

Dual Allianz League Action on Sunday Our senior hurling and football teams are both in action on Sunday, with
both games live on TG4 and C103. We'll also have updates on the
website and on our Twitter page, @OfficialCorkGAA. Having topped
Division 1B and secured promotion, Jimmy Barry-Murphy's men travel to
Semple Stadium to take on fourth-placed Division 1A Tipperary at
3.45pm, while in football, a win over Tyrone (2pm in Páirc Uí Rinn) would
secure a semi-final spot but won't be easy to come by!
Whether you’re travelling to Thurles or Páirc Uí Rinn, don’t forget to buy
your tickets in advance, online at http://gaa.tickets.ie or at
Centra/SuperValu stores, to save €5! Match day prices for both games
are €15 (adults), €10 students/OAPs and U16s free, but if you buy your
adult tickets in advance, you only pay €10.

Mizen Rovers Win RSA Award Well done to Mizen Rovers on their recent RSA Award win - another
example of the positive role GAA clubs can play in their communities.

'Care For Our Players' in 2010, and in December the club won a national
award from the Road Safety Authority in its 'Leading Lights in Road Safety'
scheme. This award was in the education/community category and Club
officers travelled to Farmleigh House in Dublin to receive the trophy from
Gay Byrne the Chairman of RSA. For more, see http://ow.ly/uWY2g.
