                               Under 14 Premier Iomaint County Final

                           

                                                                      Blarney 3-08

                                               Carbery 1-14

   This is the moment this evening (19/07/10) that Blarney's Under 14 Hurlers  scored a free deep into injury time to deny Carbery  victory in the County final in Coachford. And huge was the roar that went up from the large travelling Blarney  support when the umpire stuck his right hand up as it was the conclusion to a remarkable performance from the Blarney boys. At half time  Blarney were down to Carbery ( a divisional team) on a scoreline of 10 points to 2 and then 5 minutes  into the second half  Carbery struck 2 more  points over to leave  10 points between the teams. Somehow Blarney started the fightback with a goal by Dylan Linehan and got stuck into the match. Showing tremendous courage they drew level with Carbery. Even when Carbery scored  what looked like a match winning score  at full time,  up stepped Ray Murphy to calmly slot over a free from halfway to give  our boys another chance at winning the Co. Premier Championship. For the record the scorers for Blarney were Peter Philpott 0-01, Ray Murphy 0-03, Darragh Kelly 0-01, Dylan Linehan 1-03, Mark Coleman 1-00 and Sean Crowley 1-00. Those of us who were there, were extremely proud to witness unbelievable character and heart from these boys and this will stand to them in the replay. No details are as of now, finalised about the date of the replay but the least we can all do is support them  in  even greater numbers whenever that replay is. Again well done lads, the future of the Club is in good hands.....as they say as Gaeilge....... " Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí"..........praise the youth and it will come!!!

 

 

Congrats to all the Blarney players who represented the Club proudly on the Muskerry u-14 hurling team recently. The lads are pictured below:

             Blarney GAA Club Grounds Improvements

The 2010 season really gets into gear this coming weekend in Blarney as our Senior Hurlers play Newtownshandrum in Blarney in the first League match of the year, on Sunday the 14th of March at 12 Noon. It gives us a chance to show our recent works, as we have lengthened the pitch by 7 metres (the same dimensions as Pairc Ui Chaoimh), put in new goalposts which are 5  feet higher than the old ones and put in new dugouts which are now located on the hill side of the pitch. Full credit goes to  Costello Stainless Steel who did the dugouts and Turf Tech who undertook the lengthening of the pitch, and erection of the goalposts. These works compliment the works carried out last year, which included the laying of tarmac to provide 75 car spaces in the vicinty of the Clubhouse and the erection of lighting masts for the Clubhouse car park area.All of this work is testament to Blarney GAA Club's committment  to continue to provide the best facilites!! A big Thank You to all who have helped out in this venture! Please click on the images below and go to the Picture Gallery Page for more pics!! (08/03/2010)

The Junior Footballers were presented with their Mid Cork Championship medals and Richard O'Shea and Sean Foley were also presented with awards to mark their great achievement  in winning the Young Scientist of the Year award in Dublin recently.
