MIDLETON LADIES FOOTBALL
Midleton Through to East Cork U14 Semi Final
Midleton v Carrigtwohill –Score 5:13 to 6:3.
Midleton advanced to the last four in the East Cork Ladies football championship after defeating our near neighbours Carrightohill in a very entertaining game played at home in Clonmult Memorial Park on Wednesday 09th Sept.
If there was ever a game to test ones nerves, this was it. Midleton stormed into a 3 goal lead from the throw in and were camped in the Carrig back line first 10 mins where we added another 3 points before the Carrightohill girls breached the Midleton defence and found the net. This was followed soon after by another goal and point, and suddenly Game on.
What was encouraging from Midleton’s view point was that each time Carrig scored our girls responded with a point. Half way through the second half the Carrightohill girls showed great character and reduced the margin to two points. Our girls looked to be in trouble at this stage with the Carrig midfield girls driving at them hard. But like the story of Lazarus, our girls rose from the dead and had a storming finish, finishing on a score line of 5:13 to 6:3.

Passage West Blitz – U8 and U10
On Saturday 12th Midleton Ladies Football attended what can only be described as a Monster Blitz in Passage West. On the day there was over 92 teams and 1800 girls present. We were lead out onto the playing field by the Carrigaline Pipe Band, each team proudly displaying their banners and flags. There was singing galore from all clubs and the atmosphere was fantastic. Our U8 girls were stationed on Pitch 1 with Glanmire, Passage West and Arravale Rovers from Tipperary. Our u10 Girls were on pitch 9 with Youghal, Passage West and St Pauls from Antrim. There was some brilliant displays of football on the day and some super scoring. Many Thanks to all the girls and especially their Parents for travelling and helping out on the day. Our Thanks must also go to Passage West for hosting such an enormous task in what was an extremely well run and organised day. We are already looking forward to next year.
