Cork Colleges win in Electric Ireland Fitzgibbon Cup

UCC’s comfortable 20 point-victory over Maynooth this evening secured an Electric Ireland quarter-final clash with defending champions UL.

It didn’t look like it would be such an easy win in the first-half though, when Maynooth gave as good as they got.

Despite conceding a soft goal to Brian Hayes after 15 minutes, they were still very much in the tie at half-time when they trailed by just a single point, 1-7 to 0-9.

But UCC were a much different beast in the second-half and never looked like losing after Shane Barrett fired home their second goal after 41 minutes.

The same man hit their third major five minutes from the time and substitute Fionn Coleman struck their fourth as they blood and bandages cruised to victory.

In tonight’s other match, Sean Walsh’s late equaliser for MTU Cork against DCU Dóchas Éireann secured their place in the last eight where they will play University of Galway.

With three minutes of normal time left that outcome didn’t seem likely with the home team trailing by three points.

But two converted frees by Brian Lynch followed by Walsh’s late heroics worked the oracle for the Cork college.

STATEMENT FROM CORK GAA

CORK GAA Club delegates to the Cork County Board met this evening to discuss the issue of naming rights for SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Dermot Earley Family Award: Cahalanes’ of Cork, Castlehaven, Éire Óg & St. Finbarrs

The Cahalanes of Castlehaven, St. Finbarrs, and Éire Óg in Cork, are an exceptional GAA family, steeped in Cork GAA history.



Parents Niall and Ailish, both from Castlehaven in West Cork, come from families that have been involved with the Castlehaven club all their lives. In 1989, Castlehaven won their first ever Cork Senior Football Championship and then again in 1993, with Niall being one of five brothers on the team, while Ailish had three brothers on the team. To go along with club honours, Niall managed to win All-Ireland medals at Minor, U21, and Senior, in the rebel red of Cork.

Niall and Ailish have seven children, who all play, across three clubs: Castlehaven, St. Finbarrs, and Éire Óg.

Damien, Conor, and Jack all play hurling with St Finbarrs in Togher on the Southside of Cork city, and football with Castlehaven in West Cork. All three brothers were crucial players on the Finbarrs Senior Hurling team, as they won the club’s first Premier Senior County title in 22 years in 2022. In addition, they all played a vital role as Castlehaven became Cork and Munster Senior Club Football champions in 2023. Following in the footsteps of their father, all three brothers have pulled on the iconic Cork jersey countless times, with numerous Munster and All-Ireland medals between them. Damien and Conor are currently members of the Cork Senior Hurling Panel, with Damien being nominated for an All-Star in 2023, off the back of some fine displays in last year’s championship. Jack is a member of the Cork Senior Football Panel and has the unique achievement of having All-Ireland hurling and football medals at both minor and U20 grades.

Their sisters Maebh, Gráinne, Orlaith, and Kate, all play camogie for St. Finbarrs GAA, with Kate currently playing for Finbarrs underage teams. In Ladies football, Gráinne plays with Finbarrs, while Maebh, Orlaith, and Kate all represent the Éire Óg club in Ovens. Maebh, Gráinne, and Orlaith are current members of the Cork Senior Camogie Panel, having played both codes for the Rebels growing up. When it comes to the coveted All-Ireland Senior Camogie medals with Cork, Maebh and Orla have the bragging rights to date, having both tasted success on the biggest day of all.
