Congratulations to our U13 clubmate Fionn Fitzgerald, who played in the Primary Games in the Gaelic Grounds last Sunday during the Cork-Limerick clash. A great honour for a great young man.

The East Cork (North) Hurling U14 panel had a narrow victory, in a high scoring game over South City recently in the first game for these lads in the new U14 eight Team regional competition run over the summer. Great representation from the Hill with Cian Cronin, Michael O Driscoll, Liam Foley, Ciaran O Riordan, Ciaran O Leary & Sam Dennehy part of the panel and Shane O Regan part of the management team. Well done lads and well done to East Cork team and mentors. Best of luck for the rest of the competition.

Congrats to our Watergrasshill GAA U14 players who were part of the St Colman’s U14 football team who beat Colaiste Choilm Ballincollig recently in the county semi-final. Best of luck in the final against Rochestown.

Thank You

Well done and thank you to the hundreds of people who took part in the Watergrasshill and Glenville National Schools sponsored climb of Corrin today. Watergrasshill GAA was delighted to be part of the event by providing traffic management as well as tea, coffee, cakes and treats in the Community Hall (thanks to the Watergrasshill Community Association for the hall). Particular credit to Mick McCourt and the McCourt, Walsh and Russell families who have already raised thousands of euros for a range of cancer and support organisations in Aileen's memory and last Saturdays Corrin climb was another huge success. We live in a great community and the warmth, caring and sense of unity in our village and community was palpable at this event.

Cork GAA Mile Challenge

Kevin Donovan visited the Hill on Monday night, to complete his mile challenge. He was met and welcomed to the club by our club President Lizzie O Leary. Kevin is running a mile in all 159 GAA pitches in Cork county and tonight was pitch 99. There was no shortage of company on the run as Kevin was joined by kids from our U7, U10, U11 & U14 teams as well as some of the Hill’s finest and fittest older athletes. Well done to Kevin who is raising awareness and much needed funds for Cork Deaf Association and Parkinson’s Ireland, and best of luck to him in the remaining runs around the County. Thanks to all for turning out to support Kevin on a lovely evening in the Hill last Monday.
