Notes 23/4/12

On Thursday night 19/4/12 the minor hurlers travelled to play Gabriel’s in Ballydehob. With limited numbers available and some of those having already had tough school games during the day it was a big ask. Never the less those present put in a good effort and the game was competitive before losing on the score 2-14 to 3-5. 

On Sunday morning the U12 footballers were away to Clanna Gael and for the second week running were on the right side of a one point winning margin 5-2 to 2-10.

The important match this week is the 1^st round of the junior A football championship when Kilmacabea take on Barryroe in Clonakilty on Saturday, 28^th April at 4.30pm.Support is important.

An interesting article in the Irish Examiner on Saturday 21^st April, on the development of the GAA in Spain including the involvement of underage players. Featured in the article was Colm O’Donovan, Sunnyhill, Leap who is involved with Valencia. Colm was a fine player with Kilmacabea underage, 10-15 years ago. It is good to see the games being promoted to new audiences. It is a reflection of the times with people scattered throughout the world in the search of employment especially in the current economic climate, the role the GAA plays in people lives and the importance in the social network.

Kilmacabea Notes 16/4/12

Kilmacabea were hosts to St Oliver Plunketts in Leap last Sunday afternoon 15/4/12 in the junior A football league. Another entertaining game was served up in near perfect conditions for football. The home side appeared to have the edge for much of the game but two late goals for Plunketts brought them right back into it. Kilmacabea were lucky to survive on a final score of 3 - 11 to 3 - 10. The previous Thursday the second junior team were away to Clonakilty in the junior B football league. Clon took complete control in the second quarter. The score at half time was 4 - 5 to 0 - 2. Kilmac to their great credit made a game of it in the second half loosing at the finish on a score of 4 - 11 to 3 - 9.

On Thursday night the U14hurlers put in the performance of the week when they played St James in the league. Going in to the game with no great expectations they worked hard and were rewarded with a welcome if unexpected victory on the score 5-4 to 0-8.

On Friday night the minor hurlers had a convincing win over Goleen in the league.

Score Kilmacabea 7-10 Goleen 2-3

On Saturday morning the U12 footballers had their first game of the season against St Colum’s and after an even game came out on the right side of a 1point win. Kilmacabea 4 - 3 St Colums 3 - 5

On Monday night Carbery Rangers were the visitors in the U16 hurling league and after a match with little between the sides the Kilmac’s did enough to edge ahead towards the end of the game.
