REBEL RÉALTA Sports and Activity Day a Huge Success!

On Thursday, September 18th, SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh hosted the inaugural REBEL RÉALTA Sports and Activity Day, a special event celebrating inclusion in Gaelic Games for children with additional needs. Despite the weather, the day was filled with fun, excitement, and plenty of smiles!

Children enjoyed a variety of football and hurling activities, skill challenges, and mini-games. Every participant had the chance to play on the main pitch, with intercounty players, coaches, and volunteers helping make it a truly memorable experience.

We are so grateful to our amazing sponsors for supporting the day: Ashdale Catering provided snacks, fruit, and a variety of hot foods, while Spar Mount Oval supplied crisps, water, and jellies. Their support made all the difference!

The event was made possible by a dedicated team of volunteers, including committee members, maintenance staff, teachers, retired teachers, GDCs, third-level students (one from Endicott in Boston!), coaches, and traffic stewards. A huge thank you to everyone — your commitment and support ensured the day ran smoothly and safely.

“We had a fantastic Sports Day for children with special needs, filled with fun, excitement, and plenty of smiles. Thank you to everyone who made it possible — our committee, maintenance team, teachers, retired teachers, coaches, and traffic stewards. Your help and support were instrumental in making the day such a success.”

Sciath na Scol is excited to build on this success and looks forward to expanding REBEL RÉALTA to more schools in the future, making it a lasting celebration of inclusion and participation in Cork GAA.

McCarthy Insurance Group FC weekend round up

This past weekend, the McCarthy Insurance Group Club Football Championships served up drama across every grade, with shocks, thrillers, and some heavyweights stamping their authority as we move towards the knockout stages.

Friday Night – Premier Junior Fireworks

The McCarthy Insurance Group Premier Junior Football Championship sparked into life on Friday evening. Canovee hit the ground running, bagging three goals to ease past Ballydesmond. St Nick’s carried too much firepower for Urhan, while Cobh impressed with a strong win over Kinsale. Cullen’s sharp shooting saw them past Na Piarsaigh, while Buttevant edged a high-scoring shootout with Inniscarra. The tightest game of the night came in Glenville, where Millstreet just shaded a thriller by a single point.

Saturday – Intermediate Battles

Saturday belonged to the Intermediate grades. In the McCarthy Insurance Group Premier Intermediate Football Championship, Aghabullogue showed composure against Aghada, while Bantry Blues proved too strong for Nemo Rangers. Naomh Abán powered past Bandon, Glanmire held Rockchapel to a draw-like battle before sneaking through, Kiskeam fired four goals to dismiss Castletownbere, and Uibh Laoire outgunned neighbours Macroom in a classic.

In the McCarthy Insurance Group Intermediate A Football Championship, Adrigole’s goals proved decisive against Ballinora, while St Finbarr’s second side outclassed Glanworth. Gabriel Rangers looked impressive in a comfortable win over Dromtarriffe, and Mitchelstown were ruthless against Kildorrery. Kilmurry laid down a marker with victory over Boherbue, and Ilen Rovers powered past St Vincent’s.

Sunday – Senior Showdowns

Sunday was all about the McCarthy Insurance Group Senior Football Championship. Newcestown stunned Castlehaven by two points, sending shockwaves through the draw. Mallow hit Valley Rovers for 2-20 in a high-scoring display, while Clonakilty swept aside Carbery Rangers. St Finbarr’s underlined their title credentials with a ruthless win over Carrigaline, while Ballincollig edged Douglas by a point in a nail-biter. Nemo Rangers were imperious, smashing four goals past St Michael’s in a one-sided clash.

In the McCarthy Insurance Group Senior A Football Championship, Éire Óg held firm against Kilshannig, while Kanturk and Newmarket couldn’t be separated. Cill na Martra got the better of Clyda Rovers, and Knocknagree overcame Fermoy in a goal-heavy contest.
