A CLUB IN CRISIS

Hibernian AFC, founded in 1996, is a club in crisis, and in danger of going out of football. This once great club which boasts excellent playing facilities at Shanbally, Ringaskiddy, is in desperate need of regeneration, according to secretary Brendan Hayes.

"The club is looking for people interested in promoting soccer at all levels, with ideas to help reverse the slide of the club, and the vision to utilize the club's facilities to their full potential. At present the club has two junior teams playing in the Cork AUL, and an under 14 school boy’s team. As this season draws to a close we urgently need to evaluate our options for the coming season, so if you are interested or need more information please contact LARRY HICKEY at 0872507941 or BRENDAN HAYES at 0871347954 OR 4379097."

CHURCHVILLA CRISIS

Hi Folks,

A few months ago we sent a mail out looking for help in sourcing another field, so we can accomodate more teams as the club grows.

We are now coming up to the crisis point of our search.As things stand we can accomodate three winter teams on the current pitch - Senior team and two juvenile team (currently U12 & U13).

Next season we have sufficient players for 4 juvenile teams U11, U12, U13 & U14.If we do not find another field soon we will not be able to enter all of the teams into the leagues.

Can we all make one last effort to find a suitable field anywhere within the Cloyne, Shan, Ballycotton areas.

To see how much enjoyment the lads have had playing in the leagues, it would be a travesty to take this away from them.

Please, please, please try and help. If you have any ideas please contact Jason on 0876891327 ASAP.

thanks

NATIONAL SUCCESS FOR AUL STUDENTS

The Oscar Traynor players weren't the only AUL performers to win national glory this season. Just a couple of weeks back, UCC managers Liam Corbett and Ger O’Sullivan took 16 AUL players, drawn largely from the AUL 1 side but including five from the third division team, to the University of Ulster in Coleraine to contest the finals of the Crowley Cup, the junior Inter-Varsity Tournament.

The AUL lads weren’t expected to make that much of an impression; after all they were the Cork college’s second string. They may be second string but they were far from second class and went on to win the tournament, gaining a kind of revenge for the first team by beating Queen’s, their conquerors, in the final.

The tourney started well for the AUL players when Steve Berkley, Dan Cronin and Tom O’Sullivan netted in a 3-1 win over University of Limerick. That put them into the semi-final and here O’Sullivan and Cronin struck again as they recorded a 2-1 win.

Would they meet their A team in the final? No was the answer from Queens who qualified with a 3-1 win. The Belfast team might have been expecting an easy win in the decider until the Cork lads opening the scoring through Declan Coleman.

But it looked as if the tie would run to form when Cronin picked up his second yellow and Queen’s equalised for the consequent spotter. Striker O’Sullivan wasn't having any of it and he scored twice in six magic minutes to give UCC a 3-1 half-time lead.

The second half turned into quite a siege of the Cork goal but keeper James Purcell (he was voted player of the tournament) and his back four of Steve Corbett, Paul Fehilly, Kieran McCarthy and American Devon McNeill, stood firm and relief came late on when Steven Power crossed for fellow sub Denis Maher to crack in the fourth.

The UCC B panel: James Purcell, Devon McNeill, Steve Corbett, Paul Fehilly, Kieran McCarthy, Dan Cronin, Alan Murphy, Steve Berkley, Declan Coleman, Alec Rose, Tom O’Sullivan, Denis Maher, Steven Power, Alan Quigley, Aaron O’Brien, Simon McEoin and Su Shou.

Carrig's Stephen Dineen takes control at The Cross...

St Michael's Cup final

Carrigtwohill Utd 2 Watergrasshill Utd 1

by Stephen Moore

A Good Friday night turned into a great one for Carrig as they gave a brilliant display of football to beat the Hill and become the first side ever to retain the St. Michael's Cup. Carrig lost the toss and had to begin the game playing into a very bright, low sun. This didn't hamper them though and they immediately took the game to their local rivals.

On the wide Turner's cross pitch, Carrig's pace and movement cause plenty of problems for Watergrasshill. In the first 15 mins the Hill keeper made at least 3 good saves to keep Carrig out. Eventually the break came when the Watergrasshill defence headed a ball clear, high into midfield. Noel Furlong volleyed it perfectly into the path of Cian McSweeney, and when the keeper closed in, he as ever coolly slotted it home to open the scoring after 20 mins.

More chances game and went, but Carrig went into the break 1-0 up and looked the much better team. The second half produced more good football and plenty more chances. Watergrasshill began to get more control and attacked well on the break.

As Carrig pushed for the second, the Hill got their equaliser from such a fast attack. When a Cian McSweeney cross was knocked down into midfield, Watergrasshill broke and very quickly had a 3 on 2 situation. They played the ball out left and when the shot came in from the edge of the box Cormac Carroll slide in to block. Unfortunately the ball hit Cormac's leg, looped over keeper Adrian Kidney and hit the far post before going in.

carrig responded well and took back the lead within 10 mins. Stephen Dinneen controlled the ball on the right end line before cutting back and playing a cross to the far post. In appeared to be going over everybody, until Noel Furlong arrived and volleyed into the bottom corner from close range to put Carrig 2-1 with only minutes remaining.

From here Carrig controlled the game and never look like being denied their place in AUL history.

Team - Adrian Kidney, Cormac Carroll, Sean Madden(c), Shane Kennedy, Ian O'Donghue, Leonard Healy, Noel Furlong, Davy Barry, Stephen Dinneen, Stephen Kidney and Cian McSweeney. Subs - Darren Sylvester, Alan Walsh, Noel Gubbins, Sean Buckley, Brendan Cronin, Rob O'Donghue, Nielus Murphy, Derrick Nolan, Derek Healy and John Coleman.

Carrigtwohill ready for action against Watergrasshill in this evening's Michael's Cup final at Turner's Cross, kick off 7.30pm.
Tomorrow night, at the same venue, also at 7.30, City Wanderers take on Kilreen Celtic in the Saxone Cup final.

Final on Wed 3rd June

FASTEST GOAL EVER?????

Jim Reaney, Corkbeg PRO, asks the question.....

"Could have been a bit of history in our match at Pfizer Park - Ronan Forde scored straight from the kick off. about two or three seconds we would say !!! you might need to check that with the ref (Eddie Mullins) Ronan who is the manager only togged out because of a depleted squad, He hasnt played for two years due to injury. Corkbeg went on to win 3-1.

The squad only travelled with 9 players which meant both manager and assistant manager Dennis o Sullivan had to come out of retirement to fill in.Ronan scored from the Kick off, Ball touched forward, Keeper off his line and struck it high over keeper and in under the crossbar. probably fastest goal ever!! about 2 seconds I'd say!!

went 2-0 up after about 10 mins, Aidan Cotter with a perfect placed free kick from 25 yards, curled around wall into bottom right corner.3-0 up midway through 2nd half, corner kick headed clear by defender only to fall to Jamie O Sullivan from 35 yards took it on chest and on the half volley rifled it into top corner. a class strike from a promising young player.

Carrigaline scored a consolation with about 5 mins to go from a stunning free kick from 25 yards which flew into the top right corner.Corkbeg changed tactics by playing 3 at the back and a five man midfield with the normal wingers playing in a defensive wing back role. our plan was to man-mark the the two centre forwards and opposing 4 midfielders leaving dennis o sullivan in a sweeper role in the back and Forde in a anchor/playmaker role in midfield.

Our two centre forwards Aidan Cotter and Darrian O Donoghue worked their socks off up front by cutting out the full backs from getting forward.Excellent performance from all players on Corkbeg side especially our two wing backs Dean Keegan and Chris Kelly Working hard man marking and taking opponents out of the game.

Eddie Mullins commented after the game that "in all my time reffing I had often seen that attempted but never came off" on Ronan Fordes Goal!! Is it the fastest ever?

Ken Twohig (Ex Man City, Temple Utd, and now with Mallow Utd) scored direct from the kick off about 4/5 years back for Strand Utd. This ball was played first before being hit, his was direct. What do you think?? JL

Weekend's third division games:

AUL 3
Despite noteworthy displays by Paul O’Leary, Shane Healy and Paul Kennedy, Richmond were pipped 5-4 by Greenwood in AUL 3. O’Leary, Paul Williamson and Tomas Radilek (2) were on target for the losers, Matthew Quilter (3), James Downey and Adrian Burke for the winners.

Darragh Coughlan (3) and Michael Brady netted for Ballinhassig in their 4-0 win over Ard-Na-Laoi.

AUL 3A
John Ronan, manager of the first team, led Macroom's second string to a good 3-2 win over Los Zarcos in AUL 3A. Ronan scored twice and that included hammering in the winner from a spotter he had earned himself. Stephen Murphy also scored for Macroom and their other big contributors were Brian Horgan and Denis Canty.

Watergrasshill Utd got back to winning ways with a 3-0 victory against Rathcoole Rovers whose best were Tom Carroll and Shane Kelleher.

Oscar managers: Richard Fitzgerald 2009 and John Coughlan 1966

STEPPING DOWN

I have decided, after long and careful consideration, to retire as Press Officer of the Cork AUL at the end of this season.

I really enjoyed meeting the teams, the managers and players and referees at so many games, in all kinds of weathers, on all kinds of pitches, over the past 31 years.

It will leave a big gap in my life but I must say I am looking forward to “normal” weekends.

I wish the best to you all and to all those who work for the benefit of local football. I will no doubt be seeing you around as I intend to call to the local venues at match-time, certainly on the fine days!
