SILVERWARE FOR INTERMEDIATE HURLERS
Last Saturday evening, July 11th, Kilworth’s intermediate hurlers claimed the Red FM sponsored Division 4 Hurling League title, following a deserved 2-25 to 1-19 victory over Aghabullogue at an immaculately presented Páirc Tadhg MacCárthaigh in Riverstown. Played in perfect conditions on a pristine pitch, this contest produced both an entertaining and high-scoring encounter between two evenly matched sides. Noel McNamara got Kilworth off the mark immediately from the throw-in and set the tone for what would prove to be an impressive team performance, with no fewer than ten Kilworth players contributing to the scoreboard over the hour. The opening half was a fiercely competitive affair, with little separating the teams throughout as scores were exchanged at regular intervals, and as the interval approached, Kilworth held on to a two-point advantage thanks to well-taken scores from across the field. Half-time score; Kilworth 0-13, Aghabullogue 0-11.
The Seanie McGrath coached Aghabullogue side emerged from the water break with renewed purpose and made an immediate impact. A well-taken goal helped them regain the initiative and move two points clear early in the second period, however, Kilworth refused to be rattled and responded impressively, digging deep to wrestle back control of proceedings. With fifteen minutes of play remaining, Kilworth raised their game significantly and effectively took over the contest by striking an impressive 2-10, with the goals arriving at crucial stages and by the final whistle, Kilworth had opened up a nine-point gap to become worthy winners of the league crown. William Condon produced one of the highlights of the evening with a superbly taken goal, while Jamie Sheehan’s second-half major effectively put the result beyond doubt. Supported by an influential bench, the Kilworth substitutes also proved particularly effective as they made a significant contribution to the scoreline with veteran Liam Whelan and Jeremy Saich accounting for five points between them. Full-time score; Kilworth 2-25, Aghabullogue 1-19.
This victory, which was a thoroughly convincing team display, characterised by hard work, and excellent scoring particularly during the closing stages, provided a welcome boost ahead of the championship campaign, with just over two weeks now remaining before Kilworth face Ballymartle in Rathcormac on Sunday, August 2nd. Credit must also be given to referee Colm Lyons from Nemo Rangers, who handled the game well ahead of his appointment as referee for next Sunday’s All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final.
Team and scorers: Killian Heggtveit, Austin O’Hara, Kieran Lane, Michael Gowen, Eoin McGrath 0-01, Luke Carey, David Twomey, Eoin Carey 0-01, Leo Coffey, Michael Sheehan 0-04 (2-f), Liam Óg Hegarty 0-05 (2-f, 1-p), Jamie Sheehan 1-02, Noel McNamara 0-03, William Condon 1-03, & Brian Sheehan 0-01.

SUCCESS FOR U21 HURLERS
Last Friday evening, July 3rd, Kilworth travelled to Ballygiblin to take on St. Dominic’s in the opening round of the Country Clean Recycling U21 B North Cork Hurling Championship. Conditions at the venue were excellent, and Ballygiblin deserve great credit for having both their facilities and pitch in superb condition for the occasion. From the outset Kilworth turned in a strong display and led throughout this contest with a well-balanced side that combined both youthful talent with experienced campaigners. Despite the game being a somewhat stop-start affair at times, Kilworth maintained control for long periods with their strong collective work rate and teamwork proving decisive, as the experienced members of the team provided leadership and encouragement to the younger players throughout.
Holding a commanding 1-09 to 0-04 advantage at the interval, Kilworth resumed control upon the restart with Liam Óg Hegarty who lined out at centre-forward the standout performer, scoring an impressive 2-09, including two well-taken goals to spearhead the Kilworth attack. Credit however must go to St. Dominic’s, as they never threw in the towel and battled hard right to the end, but at the final whistle Kilworth emerged deserving eight-point winners as they booked their place in the semi-final. Full time score; Kilworth 2-16, St. Dominics 1-11. Referee; Denis Motherway, Ballygiblin.
Team & Scorers: Darragh Collins, Ronan Fenton, Gearoid Carey, Michael Lenihan, Brian Dunne 0-01, Denis Riordan, Evan Gowen, Pierce Riordan 0-01, Darragh Sheehan 0-01, Rory Gill 0-03, Liam Óg Hegarty 2-09 (8-f), Ben Carey, Conor Lynch 0-01, Aaron Browne, & Olan McCarthy-O’Donoghue.

INTERMEDIATE HURLERS COME UP SHORT
Last Sunday morning, June 28th, Kilworth’s intermediate hurlers made the journey to Ballynoe to contest St. Catherines in their final group game of the Red FM sponsored Division 4 Hurling League. With qualification for the league final already secured, Kilworth approached this contest with confidence and delivered a strong first half performance with centre-forward Michael Sheehan setting the tone early by registering Kilworth’s first score of the contest from a sublime sideline cut. Kilworth continued to apply pressure and were duly rewarded on the 15-minute mark when Olann McCarthy-O’Donoghue found the back of the net, which pushed Kilworth into a four-point lead. Despite a competitive showing from their Imokilly rivals, Kilworth held firm and carried that four-point advantage into the break after an impressive opening 30 minutes of hurling. Half time score; Kilworth 1-14, St. Catherines 1-10.
Kilworth made a positive start to the second half, with Noel McNamara adding his third point from play to extend their lead, however, momentum soon shifted as St. Catherine’s upped their intensity and began to chip away at the deficit and by the three-quarter mark, the home side had reduced Kilworth’s lead to just a single point. Kilworth responded through important scores from Liam Óg Hegarty, Michael Sheehan, and Eoin Carey, with each score helping to keep Kilworth in contention as the game hung in the balance, and at the sixty-minute mark the sides shared the spoils at 1-24 apiece. However, it was St. Catherine’s who finished the strongest as two late points from the home side ultimately proved decisive as they edged ahead before the full-time whistle sounded. Despite a spirited performance, Kilworth were left to reflect on a narrow defeat in what was an entertaining and hard-fought contest. Full time score; Kilworth 1-24, St. Catherines 1-26. Referee; James Birmingham, Bride Rovers.
Next up on Saturday week Kilworth face old rivals Aghabullogue in the league final which throws in at Riverstown at 7pm. All support greatly appreciated.
Team and scorers: Killian Heggtveit, Austin O’Hara, Kieran Lane, Austin O’Hara, Michael Gowen, Eoin McGrath, Eoin Carey 0-04 (1-f), David Twomey, Brian Sheehan, Ryan Jordan 0-02, Liam Óg Hegarty 0-05 (4-f), Michael Sheehan 0-08 (1-sl), William Condon 0-02, Noel McNamara 0-03, Mark Carey, & Olann McCarthy-O’Donoghue 1-00.

INTERMEDIATE HURLERS CONTINUE UNBEATEN RUN
Kilworth’s intermediate hurlers maintained their unbeaten run last Thursday evening, June 11th, with a convincing win over Mallow at home in the Red FM sponsored Division 4 Hurling League. Entering this penultimate round clash significantly depleted, Kilworth, missing seven players through injury and unavailability, nonetheless delivered a strong and composed performance. Playing with the benefit of a strong breeze in the opening half, Kilworth initially played tit-for-tat hurling with their opponent’s in the opening quarter before they quickly established control. Their dominance was rewarded after sixteen minutes of play when goalkeeper Killian Heggtveit delivered a long clearance into the square, where Olann McCarthy-O’Donoghue reacted quickest to pull on the sliotar along the ground and find the back of the net helping Kilworth open up a two-point lead and set the tone for this contest. Kilworth continued to dictate proceedings throughout the remaining first half, combining accurate shooting with solid defensive work to limit Mallow’s opportunities and by the interval, they had built up a commanding seven-point advantage. Half time score; Kilworth 1-12, Mallow 0-08.
Mallow made a determined push upon the restart and were back within two points just six minutes into the second half following a well-taken goal, however, Kilworth responded in impressive fashion, settling back into their rhythm and reasserted control. Centre forward Michael Sheehan once again proved particularly influential, contributing heavily from both play and placed balls, while Kilworth’s work rate and discipline ensured they kept Mallow at arm’s length for the remainder of the game. Despite a spirited second-half display from the visitors, who registered nine points of their overall tally from placed balls, Kilworth’s consistency saw them pull away once more and at the full-time whistle, Kilworth were comfortable nine-point winners, with this victory also ending Mallow’s hopes of reaching the league final. Full time score; Kilworth 1-23, Mallow 1-14. Referee; Ciarán Murphy, Glanworth.
Team and scorers: Killian Heggtveit, David Twomey, Kieran Lane 0-01, Austin O’Hara, Sean Óg Kenneally, Eoin Carey 0-03, Ryan Jordan 0-01, Leo Coffey, Brian Sheehan, Jamie Sheehan 0-03, Michael Sheehan 0-12 (7-f, 1-65”), William Condon 0-01, Noel McNamara 0-01, Mark Carey 0-01, & Olann McCarthy-O’Donoghue 1-00. Substitutes used: Eoin McGrath, Sean O’Flynn, & Aaron Browne.

JUNIOR FOOTBALLERS CLAIM LEAGUE TITLE
Last week, on Tuesday evening, June 02nd, Kilworth travelled to Ballyhooly to contest near neighbours Grange in the final of the Avondhu division three football league. Credit must be given to Ballyhooly GAA, who presented both the venue and pitch in superb condition, with a pristine, carpet-like playing surface and excellent pitch markings providing the perfect stage for this occasion.
Kilworth opened the scoring in this lively encounter in the sixth minute of play when Olann McCarthy-O’Donoghue intercepted a Grange pass along the Kilworth half-back line before embarking on a remarkable 60-yard solo run and finishing confidently between the uprights. Two minutes later, corner forward Brian Sheehan doubled Kilworth’s lead with an excellent left-footed score before Ryan Jordan added a well-taken 45” in the thirteenth minute to extend the advantage to three points. Olann continued his impressive start by registering his second point from play just a minute later, pushing Kilworth further ahead before Grange opened their account on the quarter hour mark with a neatly converted placed ball. Two pointed frees from Brian Sheehan stretched Kilworth’s back lead to four, however, Grange responded strongly, with their goalkeeper, who proved clinical from distance, converting two two-point frees in succession to bring the sides back on level terms. As the half drew to a close, Jamie Sheehan restored Kilworth’s lead with a well-worked point from play to leave just a single point separating the teams in what was an entertaining and closely contested opening half. Half time score; Kilworth 0-07, Grange 0-06.
Upon the restart, Kilworth quickly asserted their authority as Brian Sheehan opened the second half scoring with another well struck pointed free, before Sean Murphy and Liam Óg Hegarty also added their names to the scoresheet to further extend Kilworth’s lead. Grange, playing in their distinctive saffron and white colours, responded with a point from play, but Kilworth maintained control with further scores from substitute Mark Carey, the ever-reliable Brian Sheehan, and Liam Óg Hegarty pushing Kilworth six points clear with just nine minutes remaining. Both sides exchanged two points apiece in the closing stages, from a mixture of play and placed balls, with Grange adding a final converted free three minutes into injury time. Despite that late consolation score, Kilworth remained comfortable and in control throughout the closing period and at the final whistle, blown by referee Denis Motherway, Kilworth were worthy and convincing winners, thanks to a disciplined and efficient second half display. Full time score; Kilworth 0-15, Grange 0-10.
Following the game John O’Donovan, secretary of the Avondhu GAA board, firstly presented Kilworth’s wing back Sean Murphy with his well-deserved Man-Of-The-Match award before presenting the league trophy to the victorious Kilworth captain Michael Gowen. In his acceptance speech, Michael thanked Ballyhooly GAA for the excellent condition of the venue and playing surface, referee Denis Motherway and his officials for officiating the contest, the Kilworth players and management team of Tim, Paul, Sean, and Fergus, team medic Deirdre, as well as the club’s loyal sponsors and supporters. He also acknowledged Grange for their sporting contribution to an enjoyable and competitive final whilst whishing them the very best of luck in their confined county championship campaign.
Team & scorers: Sean Óg Kenneally, Ronan Fenton, Kieran Lane, Michael Gowen, David Twomey, Sean Shanahan, Sean Murphy 0-01, Michael Sheehan, Ryan Jordan 0-01 (1-45”), Liam Óg Hegarty 0-02, Jamie Sheehan 0-01, Olann McCarthy-O’Donoghue 0-02, Aaron Browne, Brian Sheehan 0-07 (6-f), & Anthony Sheehan.

INTERMEDIATE HURLERS QUALIFY FOR LEAGUE FINAL
Last Friday evening, May 29th, Kilworth welcomed Kildorrery to Moorepark for their seventh-round clash in the Red FM sponsored Division 4 Hurling League. Kilworth got off to a strong start in what proved to be a high-scoring encounter, with a remarkable total of 45 scores in total registered. Michael Sheehan, who delivered a man-of-the-match performance with an outstanding tally of ten points from play, opened the scoring with a fine point after latching onto a well-timed pass from defender Kieran Lane. Just two minutes later, midfielder Jeremy Saich struck the game’s opening goal following an excellent team move, giving Kilworth a three-point advantage. By the quarter-hour mark, Kildorrery had narrowed the gap to just a single point, but Kilworth maintained control thanks to the accurate free-taking of Liam Óg Hegarty and Sheehan’s continued influence at centre-forward. Noel McNamara also added his initials to the scoresheet with two well-taken points, before goalkeeper Killian Heggtveit capped off the first half with a superb long-range placed ball that sailed between the uprights moments before the half time whistle sounded. Half time score; Kilworth 1-14, Kildorrery 1-07.
Upon the restart, Kildorrery immediately reduced Kilworth’s lead to five points with two well-struck placed balls. Kilworth, however, responded confidently, and quickly settled back into their rhythm with scores from Liam Óg Hegarty, Michael Sheehan, and Jamie Sheehan extending their advantage to nine points by the three-quarter mark. As the game entered the final quarter, Kilworth continued to assert their dominance, adding further points through Liam Óg and Jamie Sheehan, while centre-back Pierce Riordan also made his mark on the scoreboard. Although Kildorrery had the final say in this contest with a late score, Kilworth were comfortable and deserving winners, having effectively doubled their points tally in the second half. This result sees Kilworth maintain their unbeaten run this season, securing a place in the league final with two games still to play, as well as confirming promotion to Division 3 for next season. Full time score; Kilworth 1-28, Kildorrery 1-15. Referee; Denis Motherway, Ballygiblin.
Team and scorers: Killian Heggtveit 0-01 (1-f), Gearoid Carey, Kieran Lane, Austin O’Hara, Sean Óg Kenneally, Pierce Riordan 0-01, David Twomey, Michael Gowen, Jeremy Saich 1-00, Jamie Sheehan 0-02, Michael Sheehan 0-10, Liam Óg Hegarty 0-12 (10-f), Noel McNamara 0-02, William Condon, & Olann McCarthy-O’Donoghue.

POSITIVE FINISH TO JUNIOR HURLING LEAGUE CAMPAIGN
Last week, on Tuesday evening May 26th, our junior hurlers faced Fermoy at home in their final fixture of the Avondhu Division 2 Hurling League. In what proved to be an entertaining contest, Fermoy appeared the stronger side for much of the game, however, Kilworth showed great resilience to stay within striking distance of their near neighbours throughout. A crucial moment came just before half-time when corner forward Cormac Donnellan struck a 21-yard free which found the back of the net, giving Kilworth a narrow 1-09 to 0-11 lead at the break. With both sides relying heavily on placed balls for scores, Kilworth maintained their composure and remained firmly in contention as the game progressed. However, in a dramatic finish, Kilworth snatched victory in the closing minutes when substitute Rory Gill’s late effort took a fortunate bounce into the Fermoy net, securing an important two-point win and Division 2 league status for the 2027 season. Full time score; Kilworth 2-17, Fermoy 0-21. Referee; David Twomey, Shanballymore.
Team: Sean Keane, Gearoid Carey, Conor White, Kieran Twomey, Ronan Fenton, Sean Óg Kenneally, Sean Murphy, Michael O’Callaghan, Jason McCarthy, Mark Carey, Brian Tobin, Brian Casey, Anthony Sheehan, Thomas Twomey, & Cormac Donnellan.

INTERMEDIATE HURLERS MAKE IT SIX FROM SIX
As the saying goes, goals win matches, and that proved true for Kilworth’s intermediate hurlers last Saturday evening, May 23rd, when they welcomed fellow divisional side Ballyhea to Moorepark for their sixth-round clash in the Red FM sponsored Division 4 Hurling League. In a game that went right down to the wire, Kilworth secured a hard-earned victory against a determined Ballyhea side that threw everything at them in the final quarter. However, some fine solid defending led from the back by veteran Kieran Lane kept the Magpies at bay when it mattered most. Playing with the advantage of a strong breeze in the opening half, Kilworth made a bright start, with Brian Sheehan opening the scoring in what quickly developed into a fiercely contested encounter, and by the 21st minute of play, Kilworth had established a five-point lead, which was helped by a superbly taken goal from full forward Jamie Sheehan. Both sides then traded further scores from both play and placed balls as the half progressed, but Kilworth maintained their advantage to go in at the water break with a six-point lead. Half time score; Kilworth 1-11, Ballyhea 0-08.
Kilworth hit the ground running upon the restart and within six minutes they had extended their lead to ten points, thanks to another clinical goal from the ever-dangerous Jamie Sheehan. Ballyhea, however, weren’t going down without a fight and with ten minutes of play remaining had reduced Kilworth’s lead to a mere four points. However, Kilworth responded in style when substitute Olann McCarthy-O’Donoghue found the net with a beautifully struck goal which was promptly reflected on the new electronic scoreboard operated by Pa Browne almost before the green flag was raised! Ballyhea once again refused to admit defeat and immediately fired over five consecutive points to leave just two points between the sides with seconds remaining. Kilworth however had the final say, as Jamie Sheehan stepped up and split the posts five minutes into stoppage time to seal the victory for Kilworth in what was their first home game of the year. Full time score; Kilworth 3-17, Ballyhea 1-20. Referee; Pa Beausang – Midleton.
Team and scorers: Killian Heggtveitt, Austin O’Hara, Kieran Lane, Michael Gowen, Pierce Riordan, Luke Carey, David Twomey, Ryan Jordan 0-01, Jeremy Saich 0-01, Michael Sheehan, Eoin Carey 0-07 (3-f), Liam Óg Hegarty 0-05 (5-f), Noel McNamara, Jamie Sheehan 2-02, & Brian Sheehan 0-01. Substitutes used: Sean Óg Kenneally, William Condon, Olann McCarthy-O’Donoghue 1-00, & Michael O’Callaghan (Blood).

THROWBACK THURSDAY
Match Report – Rathcormac Football Tournament Final, Sunday July 14th, 1889
On Sunday the final football tie (Kilworth 1st v Rathcormac 1st) in connection with the above tournament was played off under most favorable circumstances – the turf, weather, and arrangements being A1. The match, which was of the most exciting character, was witnessed by a large assemblage of admirers, who, indeed, were well repaid by the splendid display of athletic prowess that was exhibited on both sides. From the reputation of both teams and from their appearance when lining up it was expected that the struggle for victory would be a sharp one. Mr. T Casey, hon. secretary Fermoy GAA, after much pressure, consented to act as referee and gave entire satisfaction.
Details; Kilworth won the toss and elected to play with the breeze at their backs. The leather having been thrown up play remained neutral for about five minutes when Rathcormac by a rush placed a point to their credit. This was soon non-plussed by a gallant sweep of the visitors which resulted in a goal, quickly followed by a point. Rathcormac now playing in defense had to pay the penalty of a “free” which resulted in another point. Thus, play stood until half time was called.
On changing sides, hostile play ensued when after about ten minutes Rathcormac, by a forty-yard kick, scored a point. Soon after they gained another forty-yard kick by which they strove hard to gain a goal. Kilworth, however, were equal to the occasion, and after a hard struggle Rathcormac scored a point. On kick out Rathcormac placed another point to their score, when Kilworth by a rush invaded their opponent’s ground, but nothing resulted and at the time being called play stood at Kilworth 1 goal and 2 points, Rathcormac 4 points, thus leaving the visitors the winners of a handsome set of medals.

SUCCESSFUL OFFICIAL OPENING
Last Saturday afternoon, May 16th, Kilworth GAA Club proudly welcomed An tUachtarán Cumann Lúthchleas Gael, Jarlath Burns, along with distinguished guests, club members, and the wider community, for the official opening of the new clubhouse, community gym, and upgraded pitch facilities. With the club approaching its centenary in the coming years, this occasion marked a significant milestone in Kilworth’s history. It was a truly memorable and celebrated day, filled with pride, laughter, and a strong sense of community spirit for all in attendance.
Proceedings began with a tour of the club grounds led by club officials, where the 41st President of the GAA and invited guests were met with a vibrant atmosphere. Both pitches were a hive of activity, with young players from the juvenile, camogie, and LGFA clubs participating in organised games, showcasing all three club’s thriving underage structures. Following official photographs, An tUachtarán was given a guided tour of the impressive new clubhouse and fully equipped community gym, which was constructed by local building firm, KDC Ltd. After the blessing of the new facilities by Fr. Eamonn Roche and Rev. Clodagh Yambasu he then performed the official ribbon-cutting ceremony, formally opening the club’s new and impressive state-of-the-art facilities.
The formal proceedings then continued from the new balcony with the speeches delivered overlooking the large, assembled crowd. Club Irish and Cultural Officer Joe Aherne acted as master of ceremonies, opening the event before inviting a number of speakers to address those present. These included Cllr. Frank O’Flynn, who was deputising for the Mayor of the County of Cork, Cllr. Mary Linehan Foley, followed by Club Chairperson Tony Sheehan, and finally An tUachtarán Jarlath Burns who in his address spoke of his honour and privilege to attend such an important occasion. He paid tribute to the dedication and commitment of the club members who planned, executed, and delivered this ambitious development, describing Kilworth as a club defined by pride, vision, and ambition. He mentioned Cill Uird and its history and also highlighted the importance of GAA clubs as the cornerstone of the Association and praised Kilworth for creating a lasting legacy for future generations. Jarlath also noted his admiration for the close proximity and cooperation of all the local sporting organisations and national school within the area, describing it as a model of community collaboration.
In a lighter moment, he remarked that when his term as President concludes next February, he looks forward to revisiting clubs across the country where plaques bearing his name have been unveiled, with Kilworth now becoming one of them. The event then concluded with the unveiling of a commemorative plaque on the clubhouse wall, bringing to a close a thoroughly enjoyable and historic afternoon for all in attendance.

INTERMEDIATE HURLERS CONTINUE WINNING RUN
Last Sunday morning, May 17th, Kilworth’s intermediate hurlers travelled to Watergrasshill for their fifth-round clash in the Red FM sponsored Division 4 Hurling League. Jeremy Saich opened the scoring in this lively encounter with a point from a subline sideline cut after which Kilworth quickly built momentum and four minutes of play later full forward Jamie Sheehan found the net to stretch their lead to three points. Kilworth suffered a setback in the thirteenth minute when they were reduced to 14 players, but to their credit they showed great resilience and battled on, maintaining their advantage for the remainder of the half to go in at the water break leading by three points. Half time score; Kilworth 1-10, Watergrasshill 0-10.
A fiercely contested second half followed, with both sides trading scores and producing some excellent passages of play to keep the scoreboard ticking over. The hosts, to their credit kept battling and a minute into stoppage time, had cut the deficit to just a mere point between the sides. However, a decisive moment soon followed as club veteran Noel McNamara struck a late goal to secure a fifth straight victory for Kilworth, as they held on for a hard-earned two point win. Full time score; Kilworth 2-19, Watergrasshill 0-23.
Team and scorers: Killian Heggtveitt, Gearoid Carey, Kieran Lane, Michael Gowen, Sean Óg Kenneally, Luke Carey 0-01, David Twomey, Pierce Riordan, Jeremy Saich 0-01 (1-sl), Michael Sheehan, Eoin Carey 0-05, Liam Óg Hegarty 0-09 (9-f), Noel McNamaran 1-00, Jamie Sheehan 1-02, & Brian Sheehan 0-01.

DEFEAT FOR JUNIOR HURLERS
Our junior hurlers contested Mallow last Sunday evening, May 17th, in their third fixture of the Avondhu division 2 hurling league. Played at home in wet conditions with plenty of youth in the Kilworth lineup, Mallow were ultimately the strongest of the teams in this encounter and pushed ahead early on to lead by 8 points at the interval. Upon the restart, the visiting side once again hit the ground running and ultimately went on to win convincingly on a final scoreline of 4-17 to 2-06.
