Midleton Notes (20th Feb)
- Feb 20,2025
Rebels Bounty
Time is running out to support Midleton GAA in the Rebels Bounty draw for 2025!
This is a vital fundraiser for our club. As we have now exceeded our County Board quota, 100% of all entries from now on will go directly back to Midleton GAA.
You can support the club by paying a once-off €100, or 10 payments of €10 via Direct Debit. The same link is used for both:
https://rebelsbounty.ergogroup.ie/prod/rebelsbounty/join-draw
Please note that the deadline for new Direct Debits has now been extended to Sunday March 2nd.
As an extra incentive to sign up, Midleton GAA have acquired two premium tickets for Pairc Ui Chaoimh for Cork’s home Championship fixtures. These will be raffled amongst Rebels Bounty draw members who have signed up by the end of February. In January, we raffled these tickets for all of Cork’s home National League games.
The Rebels Bounty is an excellent draw which provides the chance to win your share of a total prize fund of €500,000 across twelve monthly draws throughout 2025, while also raising vital funds for your local club.
If you have any questions, please contact midletonrebelsbounty@gmail.com.

U21 Football Championship ¼ Final
A gallant Midleton U21 football team came up short against St Colmcilles by 0-07 to 2-06. Great credit to all of the Midleton panel for giving it their all. There’s a great platform for minor and junior football in place for the rest of the year. Us mentors really appreciate the effort the whole panel of players have given over the last 3 or 4 weeks. The momentum of the game in the second half was all one way, in our favour. But we never got that required bit of luck to get us in front on the scoreboard. But commitment we had in abundance. Thanks to you all and best of luck for the rest of the year. I hope to see a lot of you lining out for the junior football teams.
Junior A Football League
A great performance from our Junior A panel who came up just short against Erins Own in the first of our League campaign. Final sore Midleton 0-11 Erins Own 3-13. Thanks to each and every one of you for turning out.
