Minister Michael Mc Grath Visits Knockgriffin Park to commemorate the Magpies 50th Anniversary

A big thank you to Minister Michael McGrath who took the time out to visit Knockgriffin Park to commemorate the Magpies 50th Anniversary. It was a lovely occasion with all sections of our club represented to greet the minister. The Minister joined our club academy boys for a kick about on the Astro and followed up with meeting our Schoolboys/girls, Football For All, Coaches and club officials in the clubhouse with a welcome from our Club Chairman Mick Kirby and presentation of our club 50 years in football by Club Development officer Shane Mackessy. The Minister spoke  to all present of the Magpies outstanding achievements on and off the field over the past 50 years and the huge contribution to the community in providing sport for all.

Looking Back on 2023

                                 

 

Dear Supporter,

Thank you for your incredible support this year. Our club is thriving with 35 teams and over 925 players of all ages, presenting a significant challenge for our 225 volunteers and coaches. Your contributions are crucial in developing players and ensuring our success on and off the field.

Throughout the year, our teams have achieved remarkable success, from cup finals to promotions and league titles. Many players have represented Cork & Munster teams, some even progressing to national league football. We had another player capped for Ireland at Ben Dumigan at U15 played all is football with Midleton before he joined Cork City in the National League. Ben is the 19th Midleton player capped for Ireland.

Off the field, we've been fundraising and planning for the future, to provide a full-size all-weather pitch at Knockgriffin Park. Unfortunately, increased costs (€550,000 to €750,000) delayed the project in2023. Floodlights will be erected in the New Year on our second pitch, to be followed with a full size Astro in the summer of 2024.

So far our fundraising efforts, including the 300 Club syndicate draw and a €150,000 capital sport grant, have raised €292,000. To make up the short fall we will borrow €450,000 We're actively exploring additional avenues to support the club's growth with facilities to cater for all.

Looking ahead, our aim is to acquire more land for additional playing pitches to accommodate the growing demand on our playing membership. Knockgriffin Park is bustling with activity and at full capacity most weekends for training and fixtures.

Our weekly Lotto and 300 Club Syndicate Draw are now crucial fundraisers, enabling us to build the much-needed all-weather playing facility. Your ongoing commitment, support and generosity make this possible, ensuring we can provide for all our members and the community.

We would like to thank you all for your kind support over the past year, committee members, coaches, team managers, players, ground staff, Lotto sellers, sponsors, supporters and many more who contribute weekly to the administration and development of our club.

Wishing you all Season's Greetings and a Happy New Year!

Michael Kirby

Club Chairman

Aisling Annacotty 0-1 Midleton

Super win today for the U18s in Fermoy against a well organised and committed Annacotty team. Not too many chances as defenses were generally on top but probably a fair result in the end. Great 1 touch finish from George Alamu after a great ball in from man of the match Cian Lambe. The goal came with 15 Mins to go and even though Annacotty pushed hard the Midleton defense was resolute with huge work rate from everyone. Thanks to the MFA for organising a great occasion, the officials from South Tipp who were excellent and special thanks to Jako the match sponsors for the fabulous set of gear for the team.

St Patrick's Day Midleton is going ahead

Dear All,

Dia dhaoibh a chairde, we have formed a small committee in order to put together a St Patrick's celebration for the town. We have already gotten the go ahead from the council and support of An Garda síochána.

As everyone is aware we have only a small number of days to pull this off, it will not be a traditional parade and will most likely be more of Irish music and dancing etc. We are meeting tonight 6:30pm (Monday 13th) and putting the exact plan of action into place, and then releasing all the information for everyone. We will start a Facebook page and publish everything on other local public pages.

It may not be the biggest or best St Patrick's day, but it will be a celebration of our countries national holiday in our amazing town. I would like to thank everyone who's helped me since I floated this idea and the rest of the people in this ad-hoc committee.

And as always, anyone willing to volunteer to play music or dance is more than welcome.

Expect music, dancing, children's fancy dress, and lots more.

Regards,

And on behalf of the other committee members,

Alan

Beamish Stout Munster Senior League Ringmahon Rangers AFC 2-2 Midleton

Eoin Healy , Danny Akinrinbola

A game where mixed emotions on the result, the 1st half was excellent from the magpies in general and took a deserved goal lead after 10 min through the impressive Eoin Healy, then a big moment in the game, Christian Daly dragged to the ground by the last man but no penalty was awarded which would have resulted in a red card.

Midleton reduced Ringmahon to very little chances and Daly looked threatening throughout the 1st half , it looked like the magpies could stretch there lead before the interval.

2nd half was a poor start from the magpies , and ringmahon equalised directly from a corner , a sloppy 2nd conceded shortly after a breaking ball fell kindly for Mcalevay who sneaked one past Nganou after 15min of dominance.

Midleton got a real wake up call from here and equalised shortly after through Danny Akinrinbola, a good response and it was game on again for both sides. Another massive on the way, Russell was taken out by ringmahon keeper, but no penalty again in a clear moment. Both sides kept battling  but in the end had to settle for a share of the spoils . Another competitive game this morning and fine performances again collectively from the whole squad .

Munster Senior Cup Kinsale 0-1 Midleton

Goal scorer: Tijani Aibor

Midleton advance to the next round of the Munster senior cup this morning after a tussle in the picturesque Madden Park. TJ with the all-important goal.

FAI Junior cup Rd 1 results Riverstown 3-4 Midleton A.

Where do we even start with this, only to say a real cup tie, with 2 teams going all out to win it in the 90. Went one down after a mix up between the two Craig's allowed their center forward to nip in to score. Lost Griffin to injury (Sean Morrissey) and in the next play equalized, when a quality corner from Patrick saw Josh arrive to thunder home a header, for his first of the season. Conceded again just before half time from a well worked set piece. Three changes at halftime,with Stuey, Charlie and Luke Smith (for Craig, Tristan and Tom, all in) and we started to get a foothold, with the final ball just eluding us. Twenty minutes left,last throw of the dice, saw Stephen (Jimmy) Griffin enter the fray, (Patrick),with him on the right and Charlie moving to 10. Drew level when Jimmy delivered a super corner for Charlie to head home. Straight from the kick off we conceded again, big shout for offside on this one, nothing given, and up against it again.With someone like Charlie in the side, there’s always a chance of something special,and when Mark rolled a pass to him 30 yards out, there didn't seem to be much on.He let fly right-footed, and the ball sailed into the top left hand corner for a absolute worldy.All to play for now, both sides had chances, with Riverstown clipping the bar, and Stuey pulling off a super save from a free kick. Crossbar at the other end denied Charlie the perfect hat trick, when his left foot shot just clipped the top of it. Just when it looked like extra time was looming,James played a super through ball for Jimmy to race onto, slide rule pass across the area, and Shane arrived to finish a cracking move.

Came from behind 3 times,never gave up, only downside is the injuries starting to mount.

MOTM James Crowley.

Played the last 20 minutes carrying a knock, solid at right full and always a threat going forward.Has it all.

2nd half begun and the 1st 10 min remained a cagey affair but the B side began to grow in confidence and really took the game to the A side with the Aid of the strong wind. A good spell with some slick passing but the final shot was just evading the target, but with 10 min remaining they got a deserved equaliser through a well struck shot that was saved well but Alan O Reilly reacted quickest to the rebound and level matters, great reaction from the crowd and it was game on . The A side never dropped there heads and reacted well within two minutes were level once again James Lambe striking a second for the A side, once again the crowd erupted, brilliant entertainment, the B side rallied once again but the elusive equaliser never came, the final whistle was blown heartbreak and joy all in one night. Brilliant game played in a sporting manner from start to finish. Well done to both sides again and Congratulations to the A side on securing the Cup , making it a double success .
Thank you to the Cork Schoolboys League to bring the final to knockgriffin and making it a occasion for players family and the supporters.

CSL U13 Premier league
Midleton 5 Springfield Ramblers 0

A comprehensive win against a battling Ramblers side secured a well deserved u13 Premier league title for the boys tonight! Despite scoring early through a fine Shay Forde finish the first half was tense and in truth we didn't really create enough clear cut chances.The 2nd half proved much better and when top scorer for the season Alex Wilson bagged his first to make it 2 nil we never looked back. Alex doubled his tally before Shay added his second. The excellent Ben Dumigan scored a lovely 5th goal from distance to put the cherry on top of a very successful campaign. The boys have been unbeaten at home throughout the league, scored over 100 goals in all competitions and have won back to back league titles (u12/u13) at Premier level. A fantastic effort from the entire squad throughout a long season and every member of the squad played their part. Congratulations and well done boys!! ⚽👍
