Draw for Tom Creedon Cup takes place

The Tom Creedon Cup 2021 was launched on Thursday 20th May in the Castle Grounds Macroom. The competition is a fitting tribute to Tom who tragically passed away in 1983.
Tom graced the field at every level for Macroom and Cork until his untimely passing and both Conor Counihan and Colman Corrigan who are ambassadors for this year’s competition spoke of the esteem in which they hold his memory and how they were delighted to see this great competition live on and get stronger every year.
Tom Creedon Junior and Tom’s late wife Marian were also in attendance at the launch, and Tom Junior speaking on behalf of the Creedon family thanked the Macroom club for continuing to so proudly honour his memory and that he looks forward every year to the competition which honours his father.
This year sees a new group format with four groups of four teams. Each team competing is guaranteed three games with the top team in each group advancing to the semi-finals.

Cork remain unbeaten in Hurling League

CORK 7-27 WESTMEATH 0-15

Cork displayed their firepower to full effect at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday as they recorded a 33-point victory over Westmeath to make it three Allianz Hurling League Division 1 Group A games undefeated.

Despite being without Séamus Harnedy, Shane Kingston and Robbie O’Flynn, the Rebels’ reserves of attacking talent are deepening and, despite a slow start, there was never any doubts about the outcome here.

A ninth-minute goal from Alan Connolly – the first of two from him – helped Cork into a lead that wouldn’t be lost and they were 1-5 to 0-4 in front by the first-half water-break. While Killian Doyle replied for Westmeath, who were unlucky to lose Niall O’Brien and Davy Glennon to first-half injuries, Cork pushed on with points from Patrick Horgan, Alan Cadogan, Shane Kingston and Luke Meade and it was 2-9 to 0-5 on the half-hour as Meade finished off a lovely team move.

A third goal arrived as Daire Connery and Alan Connolly combined for Horgan to find the net and four points on the trot coming up to half-time gave Kieran Kingston’s side a 3-14 to 0-9 advantage.

By the time Westmeath would get their tenth point, from star forward Josh Coll in the 50th minute, Cork had an unanswered 4-5. Shane Barrett grabbed the fourth goal soon after the start of the second half and Horgan got his second in the wake of that after poor Westmeath defending.

On 41, Alan Cadogan profited from a Fitzgibbon pass to make it 6-17 to 0-9 and the seventh goal was Connolly’s second, touching home a lovely pass from sub Simon Kennefick, who was making his debut.

The period after the second-half water-break was little more than a procession for Cork, who finished with 13 different scorers – they have now gone three games unbeaten for the first time since the 2018 season. They are sure to find things more difficult next time out against All-Ireland champions Limerick, but they can take encouragement from the manner of the victory here.

Scorers for Cork: Patrick Horgan 2-4 (0-2 frees), Alan Cadogan 1-4, Alan Connolly 2-1, Shane Barrett 1-3, Luke Meade 1-2, Daire Connery 0-3 (0-2 frees), Tim O’Mahony, Darragh Fitzgibbon, Brian Turnbull (0-2 frees) 0-2 each, Conor Cahalane, Robert Downey, Seán Twomey, Seán O’Leary Hayes 0-1 each.

Scorers for Westmeath: Killian Doyle (0-4f), Josh Coll 0-5 each, Ciarán Doyle 0-2, Aaron Craig, Aonghus Clarke, Davy Glennon 0-1 each.

CORK: Ger Collins; Seán O’Leary Hayes, Eoin Cadogan, Seán O’Donoghue; Tim O’Mahony, Niall Cashman, Robert Downey; Darragh Fitzgibbon, Daire Connery; Conor Cahalane, Luke Meade, Shane Barrett; Alan Connolly, Patrick Horgan, Alan Cadogan. Subs: Tadgh Deasy for Meade, Simon Kennefick for Horgan (both 41), James O’Flynn for O’Mahony (48), Bill Cooper for Fitzgibbon (52), Brian Turnbull for Alan Cadogan (53), Seán Twomey for Connolly (54), Daniel Meaney for Connery (56).
