The U12 footballers played their first game under the new structure when they travelled to Rossmore on Saturday morning 16th April. With a very small group and up against a stronger team they put in a outstanding effort that was very heartening. The U12 games are to be played under the Go Games format with all players playing in a rotational system. Games will be played on Saturday mornings over the next three months alternating in blocks of three between football and hurling.
The main fixture this week is the 1st round of the Junior “A” football championship when Kilmacabea take on St. Marys in Dunmanway at 7pm on Saturday 23rd April. Support is welcome.

The minor hurlers took on St. Colms in Leap on Wednesday evening 13/4/11. After encouraging a few more to turn out the team had the luxury of two valuable subs. It is one thing to field a team but the effort has also to be put in. The team worked hard and surprised themselves with a decent performance. The skills may need working but with the proper application things can be achieved. After a good contest the team was victorious on the score 4-2 to 2-3 and gives encouragement going forward. Kevin Whooley recieved an unfortunate cut and we wish him a speedy recovery Team Diarmaid O'Callaghan, Odhran Connolly, Martin Collins, Liam O'Driscoll, Eamon O'Sullivan, Finnán Tobin, Liam Cahalane, Kevin Hayes, Richie O'Sullivan, Denny Hayes, Kevin Whooley, Oisin O'Sullivan, Shane McDermott, Ruairi O'Mahony.

Congratulations to the Kilmacabea Scor na bPaisti Instrumental music group who were successful in the County  Final on Sunday 3rd April in Ovens. The group consists of  Ross Cantwell(Drombeg), Ciarán French(Knockaneacrohy), Chantelle French(Knockaneacrohy), Amy O'Donovan(Killenleigh) and Julieanne Williamson(Killenleigh). Well done to all involved and especially to Martina French who has so much time into getting them to this level. This is an historic achievement for the group and a reward for their efforts.


It has been very busy on the playing fields
The U16 footballers played Skibb on Friday evening in the league. This was a good test and the team made the most of the luck going and were able to come away with a win on the score 6-12 to 3-7.
The U16' had to turn their hand to hurling on Sunday morning when Mizen made the journey to Leap. Even though the team was short on numbers the performance was satisfying  and showed that if the numbers turn out and with a bit of work the team will be competitive.
The U14  footballers made the long trip to Castltownbere also on Sunday. Again this team was short some players and were up against a good team which meant it was long trip home.
The Junior A footballers played Tadgh MacCartaigh on Sunday afternoon in Leap. The team got off to a very bad start and were 5points down after 5 minutes. Once they settled they began to create chances of their own and by half time were ahead 1-7 to 1-3 with the goal coming from John Christopher Keohane. Tadgh MacCarthaigh started the second half strong again and after 6minutes there was only a point between the sides. The Kilmacs settled again and were able to extend the advantage and in the end were victors on the score 1-12 to 1-9.

The U13 footballers had their first outing on Monday 28th when they travelled to play Clanna Gael. After a good game the young team ran out of steam in the second half and were unlucky to lose by the odd point. The display promises well for the year.
The club has entered U14 Feile football again this year and are a host club for games on the weekend 30th June to 2nd July. All Cork clubs had the opportunity as Cork are hosts for 2011. While there is some work involved it is a good experience for the youngsters to take part in a National event. At the moment the paperwork is being sorted. Kilmacabea are in a group with Argideen Rangers, Muintir Bhaire and a visiting team.
Thanks to all who helped out with the U21 game on Sunday in the pitch.

The junior A footballers travelled to Drimoleague on Sunday 20th March to play the home team in the Carbery-Beara league and produced another good team effort. Trailing at half time they put in a good second half to win on the score 1-15 to 0-10.
The minor footballers also played Clanna Gael in Leap on Sunday morning. They put in a good effort and while they were beaten on the score of 0-12 to 1-6 there was a lot of positives to be taken from the performance. There was also the important lesson that a bit of control is also critical to the well being of the whole group.
Fixtures especially for the underage section will be coming thick and fast from now on. There is now a fixtures masterplan and it is intended that games are to be played when fixed and there is very little scope for rescheduling. As this is the first year of this structure there are likely to be some difficulties to be ironed out but time will tell.
