Midleton Gaa Rebels Bounty
We greatly appreciated the support of those who purchased a Rebels Bounty ticket and supported Midleton Gaa One Club. We sold 416 tickets which will yield over €31 thousand euros net profit for the club. Our highest return for many years. A big thank you to our co-ordinator Eammon Cleary for all his hard work and all those who helped him.

Camogie
Under 11’s:
Our U11’s welcomed Douglas and Erin’s Own to Clonmult on Sunday morning for their first camogie blitz of the season. With the sun shining, the girl showcased their skills from the very first throw-in. Each team played to their full potential, facing opponents from both visiting clubs. The morning was thoroughly enjoyed by players and spectators alike, and we’re already looking forward to our next blitz.
Under 16’s:
Our U16’s took on Sars last Sunday evening. The girls battled hard against a strong P1 team and got invaluable minutes before their first league match next weekend.

Hard luck to Roisin McManus, part of the Cork U17 panel who lost out to Tipperary last Sunday, 30th of March.
