The 2012 playing season has commenced. The Minor footballers got their league campaign off to a winning start on Sunday last at Kilbrittain when beating a strong home side on a score line of 3-6 to 0-7.With a noon throw in there was an early departure for the team and supporters but it didn’t seem to effect the Mizen lads who got into their stride from the off. With Brendan Goggin commanding in goal and Keith Whitley and Ryan O Callaghan solid in the back line it gave halfbacks Kodie Healy Daryl Connell and Aaron Barry the freedom to Continue reading →

Goleen Gaa

Posted on February 15, 2012 by mary Comments Off

After the hype of winning the Buckley Financial Club of the Year it was back to the bread and butter issues on Wednesday last with a meeting of both clubs to plan the year ahead with regard to fundraising. This is an on-going challenge for all concerned and if the success of recent times is to be maintained it will come with a price tag. All in attendance were upbeat and full of enthusiasm for the job in hand with lots of new and innovative ideas being tossed about along with the tried and tested. Like all fundraising it ultimately comes down to the generosity of the good people of our Parish and beyond who have never been found wanting in the past and appreciate the huge strides that both Mizen Rovers and Goleen Club have made in recent years. New sponsors are welcome and needed and donations of any amount will help us to keep the Black and Amber colours at the forefront of both Carbery and Cork County Gaa for 2012.
The junior team along with the U21s have recommenced training with both indoor and outdoor sessions on Tues and Friday nights under the guidance of Coach Pat Connolly.

Goleen GAA

Goleen Gaa Club along with Mizen Rovers had one of its greatest achievements on Saturday night last when it was voted the top club in the Carbery Division. Goleen are the inaugural winners of this competition under the new criteria set out by the sponsors Buckley Financial and the Carbery Gaa Board. Points were awarded throughout 2011 for results achieved on the field of play along with fulfilling fixtures, pitch preparation and discipline during games. We were sitting in third place when this part of the competition was completed back in November. Part two of the competition was a requirement on the Club to submit a portfolio outlining the Clubs off field activities under headings such as fundraising, recruitment, membership, referees, players on divisional and county teams and voluntary activities. This had to be in before the last day of the year. A fine crowd travelled to the Maritime Hotel on the night for the gala function where the Jnr B team were also in the running for Team of the Year. Up to 350 people attended on the night and the excitement was palpable as MC Paudie Palmer opened the envelope and announced the winner, GOLEEN GAA CLUB. A most beautiful trophy was presented to the Chairman Connie O’Driscoll along with a cheque for €1000. Our club proved popular winners on the night and the goodwill expressed towards us was overwhelming to say the least. Once more the committee thank the many people who in whatever way contributed to the Club winning this award and we commend our players, each and every one of them from u10 to Jnr B, for their part.
