U 14 “A” Final Aghada 2-07 Inch Rovers 2-05
Killeagh was the venue for the U 14 “A” Final between Inch Rovers and Aghada . This was a cracking game of football that had everything one could want. Inch led by a point at half time but a strong performance by Aghada saw them come through in the latter stages of the game to lift the trophy for the third year in a row. Well done and thanks to all in Inch Rovers who put on a magnificent spread for both teams and supporters after the game a wonderful sporting way to end the year.

U 14 “C” Final Cobh v Watergrasshill
Cobh made history on Sunday afternoon when they took their first underage ladies football East Cork championship title when they defeated Watergrasshill in the U 14 “C” final. Another great game with both sides giving their all and the Cobh girls winning with just a few points to spare
U 14 “D” Final Lisgoold 9-09 Cloyne 3-03
Lisgoold finished off their year with a good victory over Cloyne in the U 14 “D” East Cork championship final played in Cloyne on Sunday. The strong wind made it difficult for both sides. Playing with the aid of the wind in the first period Lisgoold raced into an early lead and try as the Cloyne girls might they found it very hard to work the ball up the field. After the break the Cloyne girls found their feet and took the game to the opposition scoring some lovely points and goals but it was the strength and depth of Lisgoold that saw them through to take the title final score Lisgoold 9-09 Cloyne 3-03
U 12 “A” Final Youghal 1-07 Fermoy 1-03
The East Cork Final of the U 12 “A” Championship brought together Youghal and Fermoy who were the best two U 12 teams in Cork county winning the “A” & “B” County Championships. In fact this year East Cork won all the U 12 county championships a great achievement with Aghada and Bride Rovers winning the “C” & ”D” championships.

Carrigtwohill U 12 girls had a good win over near neighbours Erin’s Own on Sunday last
Playing a nice blend of fast free flowing football the Carrig girls adapted to the windy conditions slightly better. Both side played some lovely football and Erin’s own never gave up but it was Carrig that carried the day on a 4-03 to 1-05 score line.
