A good night tonight for a game of hurling in Caherlag,

Carrigtwohill were the visitors for this Senior hurling league clash,

From the off Erins Own looked to be the stronger side when they

raced in to a six point lead with some fine scores from Mark

Collins & Eoghan Murphy & with both Shane & Kilian Murphy

well in control at the back it was looking good, however Carrig

slowly started creeping back in to the game & with some fine

scores of their own they only trailed at the break by a goal, two

minutes after half time Carrig goaled and with both teams

exchanging points the sides were level, Erins Own then stepped

up a gear Eoghan Murphy goaled for the second time in the

game & in the last ten minutes the points started coming to pull

away from Carrig to give strong finished & a win by a goal & four

points, James O Carroll Kilian, Shane, Eoghan & Kieran Murphy,

all played well on the night,

Senior Hurling Championship Erins Own 1-17 CIT 1-14

Blackrock was the venue for the first round of the senior hurling

championship this year against CIT, the Rockies had the pitch in

superb condition, but the rain hampered conditions in making it very

slippery,

Erins Own from the start looked the better side in this damp night but

CIT never left us pull away even at half time there was only a four

point lead for Erins Own & losing Kilian Murphy to a shoulder injury

was a huge loss to the full backline Dara Twomey stepped to replace

Kilian, the second half saw CIT up the pace & closing the gap, with

both sides exchanging points the sides were soon level with minutes

to go, With Eoghan Murphy firing over 10 points in total on the night

& the on form Cian O Callaghan finding the net in the dying minutes

was enough for Erins Own to get over the line, Cormac Dooley, Cian O

Connor,Kilian Murphy, James O Carroll, Eoghan Murphy & Cian O

Callaghan played well for Erins Own

U15 Hurling Blitz 2016

All roads led to Sarsfields GAA Club on Saturday 30th April

where we were invited to an U15 Hurling Blitz as part of

Sarsfields 1916 Commeration week with Carrigtwohill & Cobh.

This was an excellently run blitz & a most enjoyable day had by

all players. Our first match was against Sars where we narrowly

lost after an epic battle by both sides. Our second match was

against near neighbours Carrigtwohill where we came out on top

& our final match was against a very strong Cobh team who were

outright winners of the tournament on the day.

All the Erins Own U15 panel can be very proud proving

themselves to be a match for any premier division opposition, the

mentors would like to thank each player for their commitment,

hardwork & display of hurling that they put on throughout the day.

Thanks to all involved for the running of this event & especially to

the parents for their support on the day. Míle Bhuíochas do Sars

do lá iontach de iománaíocht, a special word of thanks to Padraig

de Burca from Carrigtwohill who took great photos on the day

Cormac Dooley & Shane

Murphy were hurling well

at the back but the Barrs

were still finding the

posts & at the end of 70

minutes in this hot sunny

afternoon a draw was a

fare result although the

Barrs will probably feel

they left this one after

them, Cormac Dooley,

Senior Hurling Championship Erin's Own 4-23 St

Finbarr's 3-26

Sunday the 17 of July saw Erin's Own take on St Finbarrs in the

next round of the senior hurling championship in Pairc Ui Rinn in

what was probably one of the warmest days of the year, Erin's Own

we're without the service of some key players in Kilian Murphy,

Steven Cronin, Cian O Connor, Cian O Callaghan, James O Flynn,

Steven Horgan & Robbie O Flynn either injured or away which led

to some other players playing out of position, the Barrs had the

dream start to this game with three goals in the first twenty

minutes,

Erin's Own kept tipping away with points from the on form

Eoghan Murphy & Sean Kelly, the Barrs had only a two point lead

at half time in this relatively poor first half, Erin's Own 0-12 St

Finbarr's 3-05, the second half saw Mossy Carroll goal in the first

minute which sparked a bit of life, both sides started to get in to

this game the pace was flying & some fine score were coming from

both sides in which turned out to be a nail bitter, with minutes to

go Erin's Own were down four points & it was starting to look like

the Barrs were going to be the ones to take this, but Eoghan

Murphy had different ideas when he found the net Twice once in

the 28th minute & the next in the 32nd from a penalty which tied

the game at 3-17 a peace, Extra time was needed to try & separate

these two sides in which was at this stage a cracker of a game

Mossy goaled again & Mark Collins adding three fine points,

Under 8 girls enjoying a break in Caherlag

Well done to Daniel Clifford & his coaches in Killeagh this morning

for the U7 football blitz, 25 players on the age turned out great

numbers for the club & all players enjoyed the games

Junior

On a Sunday in May Clann

na nGael travelled to

Caherlag for our first game

in the 13 a side

competition. The West

Cork side got three quick

goals to give them a nice

head start. The Erinsown

girls didn't throw in the

towel and picked off a few

scores before half time.

Their display in the second

half was outstanding, Fea

McCoy got two fantastic

goals after switching from

corner back to wing

forward. Niamh O Connell

gave another exhibition of

football on the opposite

wing, linking up very well

with Becky Opperman and

Shauna Cunningham in the

middle of the field. Ali O

Neill was undoubtedly the

player of the match at wing

back, with Louise

Horgan(captain) and Ciara

Milner very solidly

supporting her at the back.

After a very sporting game,

Clann na nGael came out

on the winning side.

U16 A league V Bride Rovers .

Bride Rovers came out in full strength making some threatening

runs into the Erins Own full back line with goalkeeper Ciara Milner

making some fine saves. Ana Cruceanu was solid in full back

making some fine blocks to deny the Rovers of a score. Our young

u14’s Aoife Kelliher and Vivienne Keating worked tirelessly in the

full back line. Ellen Harrington put in an outstanding performance

in her first u16 game setting up Abbey Delaney for a super point.

On the half time whistle or girls were down 3 points to 1 point.

Captain on the night Becky Opperman got the girls fired up and

the started the second half with great fight and determination. A

superb goal from Fea McCoy roused the girls on even more. A well

won ball from Sarah Kiely set up Helen Savage for a point putting

the girls 2.2 to 3 points ahead. A converted free from Abbey

Delaney and another 2 points from Becky Opperman and our girls

looked to be in the clear. Our girls took the foot off the pedal for a

few minutes and allowed Bride Rovers 2 quick goals. Shauna

Cunningham and Ciara Fenton lifted the girls again with some

great runs from the halfback line setting up Helen Savage and

Muireann Kelliher for 2 points each. Sophie O’ Neill and Olwyn

Patterson won some great ball in the full forward line and worked

tirelessly to make sure we kept possession. Bride Rovers made a

threatening run through in the final minutes and substitute Gwen

O Brien did all she could to deny them a score. Sub goalkeeper

Fiona O’ Neill saved a great penalty but Bride Rovers ensured they

would not miss the rebound. It ended Bride Rovers 3.4 Erins Own

1.11 the Caherlag side coming out with a hard fought 1 point

victory.

U8

Our under 8 ladies Football

team played Lisgoold in the

first round of the under 8

league on a glorious sunny

day at Caherlag on Sunday

last May 15th.

In a tough and close game,

our under 8's put into play

all the skills they have been

working on since training

commenced in February of

this year.

The team has players aged 5

years to 8 years and the

priorities are fun and

friendship. New members

are welcome at any time, to

pop up on Sunday mornings

from 12 to 1. On another

lovely Saturday morning,

our under 8 ladies

footballers took on Inch in

Caherlag. Two games were

played so we could cater for

the older and for the much

younger players. The teams

were evenly matched and

this allowed for the skills to

be displayed. Players,

supporters and parents

enjoyed the occasion.

U10

We're now well into the season for the U10 girls football

team. We've been training on Sunday mornings and have

started training on alternate Thursday's now that the

weather has improved. The East Cork development

league has kicked off and despite two really good team

performances we've come out the wrong side of games

against Glanmire and Rockban.

This Sunday sees us playing Bride Rovers away and we're

looking forward to further improvement from the team.

We have 33 (yes 33!!) girls signed up this year and have

had to draft in extra coaches due to the numbers at

training. Some girls have been playing for a couple of

years, and others have just started this year - a really

great mix and there is a fantastic spirit of fun in the

group. We're still looking for more players, today's U10

can be the next Cork Senior player - or more importantly

to us - someone who has fun and enjoys playing Gaelic

Football while developing lasting friendships. Please

contact the coaching co-ordinator (Evan) on 087 8099003

if your daughter is interested in joining.
