U13 Hurlers Book League Semi-Final Spot

St. Colmcille’s U13 hurlers have secured their place in the league semi-finals following a hard-earned victory over Kilshannig in Glantane on Friday evening.
Our lads had endured a difficult start to Phase 2 of the league, with the July fixture schedule leaving us short a number of players through holidays and resulting in two early defeats. However, a two-point win over Laochra Óg last week put us back in contention and meant we travelled to Glantane knowing another victory was essential to keep our league campaign alive.
While the final scoreline of St. Colmcille’s 3-9 Kilshannig 1-6 suggests a comfortable win, it certainly wasn't that kind of game. This was an almighty battle for long periods.
Colmcille’s led 0-7 to 0-5 at half-time, with two excellent Aaron O’Sullivan 65s proving the difference between the sides.
Finn Dunne got us off to the perfect start after the break, finding the net to stretch the lead to five. Kilshannig responded immediately with a goal and a point of their own to reduce the margin to the minimum, and suddenly the game was very much in the melting pot.
From there, however, Colmcille’s took control. RJay Whitley and Michael Looney struck crucial goals, while Harry Galvin, Michael Looney, RJay Whitley and Finn Dunne all added excellent points as the lads pushed for home.
At the other end, Sean Buckley was outstanding, with his puck-outs providing the starting point for attack after attack while he also produced a series of important saves as Kilshannig went in search of the goals they needed.
The defence really stood up when the pressure came on in the second half. Eoin Cashman, Orin Crowley and Joe Foley were particularly strong, while Sean Docherty did a superb man-marking job on Kilshannig’s main attacking threat.
After losing our opening two Phase 2 games, the response from this group has been excellent — back-to-back wins when nothing less than victory would do, and a place in the league semi-finals to show for it.
A great result and, more importantly, a great battling performance from the lads.
On to the semi-final! 🔵⚫️

Tonight it was the turn of our Under 12 (2) footballers, who battled hard against Glenville in Glenville, eventually finishing with a well-earned 1-07 apiece draw. A really competitive game between two evenly matched sides.

On Sunday last, our Under 12 (1) team played Carrigtwohill in hurling. Having found themselves 15 points behind at one stage, they showed tremendous character to fight back and outscore Carrigtwohill 4-03 to 1-04 in the final quarter, eventually going down by just 8 points.

And there’s no let-up! The two clubs’ first teams meet again on Sunday morning in Glenville, at the same venue.

⚫🟢🔴 A busy time indeed for the Colmcille’s Under 12s — well done to all the players! (and coaches for putting it all together) 👏

Míle Buíochas to Auto Express

St. Colmcille’s is hugely appreciative of the ongoing support we receive from our team sponsors.

Now in our seventh season since our re-formation in 2020, St. Colmcille’s has never held a major fundraiser, apart from a single cake sale one Sunday morning after Mass! Our activities are funded equally by our two parent clubs, Carraig na bhFear GAA and White's Cross GAA, LGFA & Camogie Club, together with the generous support of our sponsors.

In addition to fielding teams from Under 12 to Under 21 in both football and hurling, we operate a schools' coaching programme, generously supported by Cork GAA in the three schools serving the catchment area of our two clubs:

Scoil Naomh Micheál, Upper Glanmire NS
Scoil an Athar Tadhg, Carraig na bhFear NS
Coláiste an Chroí Naofa Post-Primary School

One business that has supported us from the very beginning is Auto Express. Owners William O’Donovan and John Buckley had only to be asked once to come on board as sponsors, and their backing has continued throughout every season since.

This year, Auto Express financed a new crew-neck leisure top for our players, with its grey and black colour scheme proving extremely popular! Their support enabled us to offer high-quality O’Neills leisurewear to our players at cost price while also generating much-needed income for St. Colmcille’s. AutoExpress are also team sponsors of our Minor team in 2026.

On Thursday evening, William O’Donovan paid a courtesy visit to our Under 14 squad as they held their final get-together ahead of their Premier 1 County Football Semi-Final. Here William also met with St. Colmcille's Chairperson Michael Foley who was double jobbing - in addition to his post at the top table, Michael is also part of the Under 14 team management!

Míle buíochas to William, John and everyone at Auto Express Cork—and indeed to all our sponsors—for enabling us to concentrate on coaching and playing ball without being preoccupied with how we will finance our teams and wider coaching activities.

Please support our sponsors whenever you have the opportunity.
