Congratulations to Michael Cottrell who played with the Cork minor football team who recorded a huge victory over Limerick in the Munster championship at Páirc Uí Rinn last Wednesday evening. T.J. Brosnan was a member of the Cork under 21 football squad that lost out narrowly to Roscommon in the All Ireland Semi Final played at Portlaoise on Saturday.

Congratulations to T.J. Brosnan on winning a Munster championship medal and to the Cork under 21 football team on their victory over Tipperary, in the Munster Final played at Thurles last Wednesday night. T.J. lined out at right half back and the team now progress to play Cavan in the All Ireland semi final at Tullamore next Saturday.

Congratulations also to Donal Hannon who was a member of the Cork minor hurling panel that defeated Clare on the following night in the Munster Championship played at Páirc Uí Rinn. Donal has the distinction of being the first Newmarket hurler to represent Cork at this level since 1974.

Despite a two point defeat for the Cork junior footballers against Kerry in the Munster Semi Final at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday, it proved to be a historic fixture for Newmarket GAA Club. By the end of the contest, Newmarket had three players on the Cork team while Danny Culloty was involved as a selector. Brian O’Riordan lined out at left corner back while John Lane took his place at left corner forward. As the game entered the final ten minutes, the introduction of John Ryan brought the Newmarket representation to three. Well done to all involved and hopefully all will again grace the red jersey in the near future.
