Junior A weekly roundup:
Carbery: Midweek there was wins for Ballinascarthy over Carbery Rangers second outift, Goleen continued their impressive rise from junior B last year to beat Barryroe comprehensively, and St Marys & Kimeen shared the spoils. Carbery Rangers then got back on track at the weekend, when they comfortably beat Mathunas, and Randal Og beat O Donovan Rossa. The league is still very much up for grabs as 6/7 of the teams are seperated by just 2 points. In the County league the heavyweight clash in division 7 wasn't as close as anticipated, with Argideen Rangers beating Kilmacabea by 8 points, in what is a big boost for the Timoleague mens promotion chances, Kilmmacabea play Lisarroll/Churchtown next round in a massive clash with both teams level on points in joint second place, St James hammered Urhan to all but garauntee their safety in the division.
Avondhu: It was an interesting 2 weeks for Ballyclough who had 3 games, Charleville beat them to secure top of the divisional table, they then beat Clyda and 3 days later beat Killavullen. Deel rovers conceeded to Kilshannig. This concludes the league and its CharIeville vs Mallow in the final. In the county league, Liscarroll/Churchtown Gaels were suprisingly beaten by Castlemagner in a blow to their promotion hopes, meanwhile Ballyhooly suffered another defeat to Nemo Rangers which relegates them after going 0/7.
Muskerry: There was wins for Kilmichael, Clondrohid & Donoughmore over Grenagh, Aghabullogue & Ballincollig respectively and Eire Og and Ballingeary played out a stalemate. That concludes the league, with Donoughmore topping it and Eire Og claiming the runner up spot. In the county league, Aghinagh suffered a promotion blow after being well beaten by Cullen.
Duhallow: In the Ducon Cup, Kiskeam beat Newmarket by 3 points, Kilbrin beat both Banteer/lyre & Lismire respectively in the space of 3 days. In the county league, Castlemagner gave themselves a big boost at avoiding relegation with a hugely impressive win over Liscarroll/Churchtown Gaels by the bare minimum.
Seandun: There was wins for Bishopstown over Ballyphehane, Passage hammered Whites Cross & then Glanmire beat Bishopstown. Meaning it is Glanmire who top the table and will play Passage in the league final. In the County league, Nemo beat Ballyhooly and Mayfield put up a good showing against Dromtarriffe but ultimately fell up short. They now face Na Piarsaigh in what is a loser goes down tie.
Imokilly: Castlemartyr beat Middleton with ease, while Carrigtwohill beat Fr O Neils in the final league game and what was the league final also, to crown Carrigtwohill as the Bishop Roche div 1 Cup champions.
Carrigdhoun: Valley Rovers beat Ballygarvan, and then lost to Ballinhassig a few days later, Carrigaline beat Ballymartle with ease meaning they top the table. Whoever will join them depends on how Valleys vs Courceys go with both having a chance to finish in that runner up spot.
