Midleton out.
Ya, I’m sure that was the thinking behind it alright 
U16 Arrabawn
Laois 2-10 Cork 1-8
I doubt they had the stomach for sandwiches after that.
How do your lads fancy their chances next week Mickee.
Another local derby north Cork this weekend. I heard Newtown shat their pants against Dromina last weekend, will they do so again against Charleville?
Newtown’s second team with a bunch of young players, i’d like to see how Charleville or Ballyhea’s second team would do in premier junior. Next year is another year for a crack against Dromina.
@Turenne are you heading to this tomorrow night in Caherlag?
its live on youghal community radio, 6pm local
strange time to play a game an hour after the all ireland final, there is going to be a massive crowd from Cobh at this…
Yeah lad, I’ll be getting the ferry over from Singapore tomorrow evening just in time to listen to some of the twiddle-dee twiddle-dum music and observe a few of the Cobh lads shooting up before throw-in.

In all seriousness, I wouldn’t be surprised if we lost this, sounds like we are struggling a bit for form outside of the two Lawtons and generally aren’t going as well as we were a few years back.
Sars after hammering the Barrs.
Douglas hammering Youghal as well.
hammerings at the latter stages of a senior championship, cobh in a final, something is seriously wrong with cork hurling
Douglas looking good for the county now. Reckon they will beat Newtown in the final by 7 or 8
Hard to look past Sars considering their experience and doggedness. Douglas look like they have the best set of forwards in the county though.

An initiative aimed at reviving colleges hurling in Cork city is being spearheaded by Leeside GAA legends.
All-Ireland winners Tomás Mulcahy, Jim Cashman, Teddy McCarthy and Tony O’Sullivan are some of the former stars involved in a proposal to reorganise the Lord Mayor’s Cup competition with an aim to revitalise the game at secondary school level in the city.
“It’s been a hobby horse of mine for a good while,” Tomás Mulcahy said yesterday.
“The decline in standards in city hurling, particularly when it comes to participation in the Harty Cup and so forth, isn’t helping the game in the city generally and Cork teams at minor level and above.
“Some of us felt something should be done so we’ve been meeting to discuss what could be done to raise standards.”
Mulcahy says the reaction they’ve had so far to their proposals has been very positive.
“The aim is to run the Lord Mayor’s Cup competition off within eight weeks, and some of the innovations proposed, like the penalty shoot-out in the event of a draw, would help with getting it finished on time. We’ve had a very good reaction from schools, because many of them might have six or seven hurlers who could improve in a competitive environment, but they mightn’t have a full team.”
Originally the Lord Mayor’s Cup was aimed at promoting the game in “non-traditional” schools like Presentation Brothers College and Christians Brothers College within Cork.
However, with the decline in the number of schools in the city — and its outer suburbs — competing at the standard required to develop and provide players for future Harty Cup competitions and Cork minor teams, the group proposes to revamp the Lord Mayor’s Cup by involving 24 schools in the area in the form of eight individual teams and two groups of four to eight teams, depending on amalgamations.
It’s proposed that each school provide seven players to make up a panel of 21 players for the amalgamated sides, with each team to be managed by two former or current Cork hurlers along with a teacher from each school).
Each team will play three matches, with the top two progressing to semi-finals and thence to a final (and a shield final for the defeated semi-finalists).
Training sessions before the competition will be taken by former and current Cork hurlers and the age group for competition is to be confined in the first year to U18 in 2015 (eligible for Cork minor in 2015).
It’s also proposed to introduce the following innovations in the competition: a sideline ball scored direct to be awarded two points; a goal scored from ground stroke to be worth four points; a semi-penalty will have only the goalkeeper facing the free-taker; and catching a puck out between the two 65s will result in a free puck for the catcher.
An official launch on October 1 is planned for the City Hall Chambers and the proposed school combinations are:
A. (Blarney, Ballincollig CS, Coláiste Choilm).
B. (Rochestown College, Passage, Nagle Community College).
C. (Coláiste an Piarsaig, Glanmire Community, Mayfield).
D. (Christians Brothers College, North Mon, Mon AG).
E. (St Aidan’s, Carraig Na Bhfear, Terence McSwiney).
F. (Presentation College, Douglas CS, Coláiste Dabhid).
G. (Coláiste An Spioráid Naoimh, Colaiste Chríost Rí , Deerpark , Bishopstown CS).
I. (Carrigaline CS, Crosshaven, Kinsale).
Looking like three Cork city teams in the semis - Douglas, the Glen, Na Piarsigh - along with Sars.
Haven gone from the football now as well.
But hurling in the city is fucked!
Douglas and Piarsigh have kept their underage ticking along nicely over the years. On paper Douglas have the best set of forwards in the county imo. The Glen haven’t done a whole lot underage but they had a good Minor team last year and in general don’t seem to lose the players the likes of Blackrock do.
Unfortunately I can’t see any of them doing anything at Munster level.
