Players and parents made the early Sunday morning trip to Castle Road to take on Brian Dillons in the League Semi-final. The pitch had been sanded over the winter and was in excellent condition and the sun shone.

The thirteen aside game began at a very fast pace and both teams had points on the score board within the first two minutes, ours coming from the stick of Ciara Barry. A long range shot from Lucy o Gorman went all the way to the back of the net to give us an early lead.

This lead was short lived as Brian Dillons took over for a while scoring two points and then a goal in quick succession. Our determination kept us going as did the strength of '' OUR ROCK" Niamh o Farrell. Niamh drove ball after ball up the field to our forwards, Ciara Motherway, Courtney Horgan, Ciara Barry, Sinead Landers and Katie Aherne. Though scores may have eluded them they kept the pressure on and earned two 45s which Chloe Sigerson calmly dropped over the crossbar. Brian Dillons pointed from the corner flag. Katie Aherne ended the half with a point from play  to leave the game level at  the break.

Words of advice and encouragement from mentors Mattie and Brian and we were ready for the off again. Lana Merc and Megan Treacy were introduced. Sinead Landers growing in confidence with each game gave the team a great start with a goal. Chloe pointed a 45. Leah was giving the game all her never ending energy. Courtney Horgan had her first goal in the Killeagh jersey. Brian Dillons kept the pressure on and managed another goal. Kate mary recovered well and kept the pressure at bay for the rest of the game. Lucy o Gorman having played well all through the game had her second goal as did Sinead Landers. The game ended 5.5 to 2.4 in our favour. Well done girls.

We play Kilbrittan\Timaleague in the FINAL

Our senior team played their second league game in Ballincollig on Wednesday night. Lots of girls are stepping up to the senior rank for the first time so a lot of these games are a learning curve for the team and also the management.

Ballincollig opened the scoring after five minutes with a point from a free, Chloe Sigerson replied to this with a pointed free .Ballincollig had another point and Rachael Sheehan in her first game at senior level pointed a great ball. A goal put Ballincollig ahead. A long range ball from Chloe brought us a little closer to our opponents They hit a purple patch then and scored six points on the trot. We rallied though and Chloe had  a point and a Ciara Daly long ball got over the line enough to raise the green flag and leave the mid-way score 1.8 to 1.4 in Ballincollig favour.

It was battle for battle throughout the second half with both sets of backs giving it their all and only allowing the forwards two points per team.

The final score Ballincollig 1.10 Killeagh 1.6

Our third game of the League was a home game against Cloughdubh. We played this game without the services of Laura Treacy and Hannah Looney as they were observing the 5 day rule ahead of Corks League Semi-final game against Limerick.. Our get well wishes to Noelle who is nursing an injury at the moment. The Miami travellers were back and added great strength to the younger members of our team. Aoife Walsh had the first point of the game, and Katie Sheehan had similar. Despite having  a lot of ball Cloughdubh were failing to score. Chloe Sigerson stretched our lead with a goal and then despite being knocked over she quickly got up and got another point. Cloughdubh got their act together and had a goal and two points before the half time whistle to leave Killeagh a point ahead 

Cloughdubh opened the second half with a point but Leah Mcevoy quickly replied to this. We seemed to lose our shape a bit and cloughdubh got in to the game a bit more with a second goal and  a point. Our young charges with the support of the experienced girls kept on battling and a sweet goal came from Chloe Sigerson to give us a very sweet one point victory... Inniscarra are our next league opponents.

Killeagh face Carbery in senior championship this year

Killeagh minors kicked off the year in the first round of the 2015 County Minor League in the top field of the glen pitches last Sunday against a strong Glen Rovers side.  Killeagh not on full strength without our Cork Minors and others absent with injury meant our young team predominantly under 16 faced a tough challenge against the home side.   A great display of camogie was given by both teams in the first half and scores could have been evenly matched at the half time whistle, was it not for the harsh decision of the ref to disallow a cracking goal from Aoife Sheehan which puzzled all.  Half time score Glen 1-3 Killeagh 0-2

The second half saw this young side worked hard with positive play all over the field.  Killeagh fought hard for every ball and continued to threaten the Glen lead.   Killeagh were rewarded when a ball from Ciara Motherway rattled the Glen net.  Glen scored a further 5 points, these did not go unanswered with points from Aoife Sheehan and Courtney Horgan keeping Killeagh in the game.  The Glen finally ran out winners when the ful time whistle was blown.  Glen 1-8  Killeagh  1-4

Team :  Kate Mary Cullinane, Niamh O Brien, Rachel Fogarty, Orla Cusack, Emma Tracey, Niamh O Farrell, Alanna Budds, Meg Tracey, Aoife Sheehan, Kari McEvoy, Grainne Tyrell, Ciara Barry, Courtney Horgan, Ciara Motherway, Nessa Daly, Cait Delaney.

One point margin seem to be the fate of our senior team. C.I.T was the venue for our Senior quarter final against Inniscarra on Friday night last. One of the most miserable nights in many months it was too, slipping and sliding was the order of the night.

Laura Treacy opened our scoring with a point, Inniscarra got three on the trot after that. Angela Walsh ,Hannah Looney (2)and Mary O Connor all got points. Our backs Marie Smiddy Aoife Walsh and Niamh o Keeffe were keeping out great pressure .Inniscarra got their fourth point. Jessica o Shea was working well around midfield. Ang took a Laura pass all the way over the bar .Chloe Sigerson was showing maturity beyond her years and passed a lovely ball to Hanna which she drove to the back of the net.. Inniscarra showed their dominance in the last five minutes by throwing over three points to leave the half time score 1-6 to 7 points in our favour

Two quick goals after the restart were to be our downfall, and a further point was added on to that before we  were to reply with a point from Angela. Kate pointed a free, yet again Inniscarra had two points. Stefanie Beausang continued to bat out some great high balls. Kate and Ann Marie Walsh both pointed .The pressure was on ,everybody was digging deep, Jessisa and Angela both got points but on yet another occasion time ran out for us.

The final score 2-10 to 1 -12 in favour of Inniscarra

We eagerly await our next game.

Our u15s took to the field in Killeagh on Wednesday 27th  against Dungourney in the Semi Final of the Imokily A grade competition.  It was a miserable wet night but both teams set about putting on a great display of hurling and commitment.

Killeagh were under pressure from the start and it took our backs a while to settle.  On attack Ciara & Kate were being made to work hard for possession.  Ciara got our first score followed by a second point shortly after from Kate Mac. 

Dungourney then struck for 2 goals in quick successesion which rattled all the girls.  These 2 goals spurred the girls on and we went on to score two goals of our own.  Half time score was 2 -2 to 2 3 in our favour.

At this stage our PRO had to retire from the match so no accurate account was kept.  Killeagh pulled away late in the second half and showed some lovely team work amongst our forwards.  Sarah Roches puck outs were excellent throughout the game relieving pressure regularly.  There was also great displays from Ciara Barry, Carrie Manning, Elana Kelleher and Donna Coleman.  Final score on the night Killeagh 5-8 Dungourney 4-2.
