Cork GAA Coaching Update Sept 2017

(i) Cork U17 Win All Ireland Final

Cork 1-19 – Dublin 1-17: Cork made history by edging 14-man Dublin by two points in their highly competitive All-Ireland U17 Hurling Championship final at Croke Park.

Cork entered the final having had the benefit of a competitive semi-final against Galway ten days previously while in contrast, Dublin arrived at the decider in a less than satisfactory manner after Antrim had refused to honor their semi-final fixture.

Well done to all involved in this Cork team who have done so well already this year. To all the players, mentors and everyone involved including the selectors: John Considine – Manager (Sarsfields), Sean Crowley (Killeagh) & Donal Burke (Midleton) we say well done.

The first game played was East v North and City V West. The second game played was the City v East and the final game was between the West V North with the West coming out overall winners. GDA Paudie O’Brien presented the winning team with the shield for this year.

It was great to see so many players from Cork taking to the field and the standard of
hurling was good. A big thank you to Valley Rovers for the use of the pitches and the facilities were excellent with both pitches in great order.

(vii) Cork Regional U13 Open Coaching Sessions

This summers open football coaching session took place during July and August in various centers around Cork. This initiative was launched last year and has proven to be quite successful with large numbers of boys born in 2004 arriving along to the different venues for coaching sessions with our GDA’s and guest coaches.

This is a starting point for any player who wishes to become involved with the regional squads and in turn Cork county squads as they progress up through the ages. It gives our regional squad coaches and mentors a chance to get to know the young players coming through. Most of our current U14 Regional squads came through from last years sessions.
