FOOTBALL EASTERN REGIONAL LEAGUE SEMI-FINAL:
SETANTA'S 0-11 AGHADA 2 - 4 (BALLINORA 16/10/11)
A thrilling finish to this game saw Setanta's notch two late points to
seal a great win and a place in the final. Marc O'Donovan was very reliable
in goals and could not be faulted for the Aghada goals, Robert and Brendan
Daly were in great form, unfortunately Brendan had to be replaced due
to injury. Referee T. Hayes (Eire Og).

in doubt early on but a young Dripsey team kept fighting back and the
result at the final whistle was a just reward for their efforts. TEAM:

HEARTBREAK
FOR JUNIOR FOOTBALLERS
MID CORK JUNIOR FOOTBALL FINAL: COACHFORD 4/9/11
DRIPSEY 1 - 4 DONOUGHMORE 1 - 7
Despite getting off to a good start when playing
against the wind, and leading by 1-1 to no score after 10 minutes, Dripsey
eventually had to
give way to their younger opponents. The crucial period of the game came
early in the second half when Dripsey missed a clear cut goal chance
to go two goals up and Donoughmore went down the field shortly after
to get a fortuitous goal. This spurred Donoughmore on and they ran out
deserving winners in the end. For Dripsey this was the third time in
4 years losing the final and the loss of key midfielder Mark O'Sullivan
was to prove costly in the end. TEAM: R. MOYNIHAN, J. O'DRISCOLL, C.

Dripsey lost out in the County Final to a much bigger and stronger
Colm Og team. Despite being four goals down at half time this Dripsey
team showed what great pride and spirit they have by being the better
team in the second half and never giving up. It was a very entertaining
match to watch and all those present were very impressed by their guts
and determination. Well done to both players, trainers and selectors.

'A' FOOTBALL SEMI FINAL: (CARRIGADROHID 19/8/11) DRIPSEY 0
- 12 CLONDROHID 0 - 8
Dripsey's fine achievement in reaching the Mid Cork Final was marred
by disgraceful aftermatch scenes which have no place in any sport. The
negative tactics in targeting key Dripsey players for rough treatment
throughout the whole game erupted with time nearly up when a Dripsey
forward was trampled on while lying on the ground. This led to a player
from each side being sent off. The Mid Cork Board will have the task
of making sure there is not a repeat of this behaviour in the future.
The match itself was close in the first half with Dripsey down a point
at half time 0-5 to 0-6 having played against the elements in the first
half. Dripsey took control of midfield in the second half and in the
end were comfortable winners. Dripsey now go on to meet hot favourites
Donoughmore in the final on Sunday 4th September in Coachford. TEAM:

Dripsey qualified for the semi final of the Mid Cork Championship with
a narrow victory against old rivals Aghinagh. Goals in both halves by
Aidan Buckley arrived at vital times and were to prove crucial in the
finish. Aghinagh will probably consider this to be a game that got away
as they missed many score able chances. Dripsey were far from impressive
but had been struggling with injuries in the run up to the game. Dripsey
will now have a few weeks of hurling before their semi final clash with
Clondrohid. TEAM: R. MOYNIHAN, S. MURRAY, C. HAYES (C), L. BUCKLEY, J.

DRIPSEY 3 - 4 IVELEARY 5 - 5
History will record a county final victory for Iveleary but those present
will remember the heroic display by Dripsey when a man short due to a
controversial red card issued to their captain and top scorer with 20
minutes to go. At that stage the match was level but Iveleary soon asserted
their numerical superiority to go 4 points ahead. In times of adversity
heroes come to the fore and never was this more true than in this match.
Calling on all their resources Dripsey managed to level the match and
with normal time up the match was level. Most spectators felt the referee
would blow the final whistle and give both teams another chance but he
played an amazing six minutes extra and Iveleary got 2 goals in the last
minute to win the game. TEAM: AARON O'RIORDAN, PATRICK O'CONNELL, JACK

Kipling once wrote about the virtue of keeping one's head when other's
around you are losing theirs, the Setanta team must have been reading
Kipling because in this final they kept their discipline under extreme
pressure from an aggressive Dillons side. In a torrid game the teams
were level 1-6 each after sixty minutes but in extra time Setanta's finished
strongly to pick up their first football trophy. The local players Marc
O'Donovan, Sean Murphy, Garret O'Leary and Shane Burke all made vital
contributions to this victory, Shane Burke also captained the team. Next
up is the Championship on Tuesday July 12th against Cloyne.

create history when they won the newly created 4 division Eastern Region

Carrigdonn/ Imokilly) beating Gleann na Laoi at Kilmurry. On a beautiful
evening for football both sides served up a high scoring open game of
football. Dripsey were always slightly ahead and their greater ability
to pick points was to prove crucial. This victory was a real team effort
with all members of the panel contributing along with the management
team comprising of Mark O'Sullivan, Paul Corkery, Tony O'Sullivan, Colm
O'Riordan. Dripsey led by 3 points at half time and the second half got
even better with the ball travelling from end to end with a large number

JUNIOR
FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP REPLAY:
DRIPSEY 3 - 10 KILMURRY 0 - 7 ( CARRIGADROHID 26/6/10)
It is often said that goals win matches and this proved the case in this
game. Playing with the win and 0-6 to 0-2 ahead coming up to the half
time whistle Dripsey struck twice in as many minutes with goals coming
from David O'Sullivan and John Carey. This left the half time score 2-6
to 0-2 and Kilmurry had a mountain to climb in the second half. A 3rd
goal by Gary Murphy early in the second half put an end to the competitive
element but in fairness to Kilmurry they kept fighting to the end. The
Dripsey defence was very good on the night but goal keeper Ray Moynihan
still had to bring off a couple of great saves. Midfield and attack were
much improved on the first game and overall the team seemed to have a
better balance. Dripsey now await the draws for the next round of this
championship as well as the Intermediate hurling. TEAM: R. MOYNIHAN,

Midway through the first half Dripsey's ever dangerous corner forward
David O'Sullivan got behind the Aghinagh defence and cooly slotted home
a magnificent goal to give his side and advantage that they never relinquished.
Despite a three month break since their last game Dripsey set a good

tried everything to bridge the gap narrowing the lead to a point at one
stage in the second half but Dripsey reacted strongly building up a score
of 1-11 to 0-9 with 10 minutes left but then Mark O'Sullivan received
a second yellow card which left them vulnerable, however stout defensive
work in the closing minutes ensured their place in the final against

SETANTA 1 - 8 KILMURRY 2 - 15
The final scoreline flattered the winners as the match was very tight up to the last 10 minutes. The score was level coming up to the half time break but Kilmurry got a goal with the last attack of the half. They followed this up with an early goal at the start of the second half and the contest seemed over. However, Setanta staged a great comeback and with 10 minutes to go were only 1 goal behind 2-8 to 1-8. However, a very strong Kilmurry team finished with 7 straight points to crown a comprehensive victory. Dripsey players involved Robert Daly, Adrian O'Sullivan, Wayne Dineen, Shane Burke, Pat Fitzgibbon, Jason Fallon, Marc O'Donovan.
DRAMATIC VICTORY FOR SETANTA'S IN SEMI FINAL
SETANTA'S 1 - 9 CANOVEE 2 - 5 (OVENS 22/9/09)
Despite conceding a goal in the very 1st minute of this minor football semi-final Setanta's settled down as the first half progressed and by half time led by 1-5 to 1-3. Setanta's continued their good work in the second half and with Robert Daly limiting the dangerous Darragh Ring to just one point from play for Canovee Setanta's had forged into a four point lead with five minutes left. A goal for Canovee then led to an exciting finish but Setanta's held out and qualified to meet a highly fancied Kilmurry side next Tuesday night in the final. Other Dripsey players on duty were Adrian O'Sullivan, Wayne Dineen (0-1), Marc O'Donovan, Damian Forde, while Pat Fitzgibbon was out with an injury.
U 16 FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP - GOOD WIN FOR DRIPSEY IN TIGHT GAME
DRIPSEY 5 - 8 AGHINAGH 3 - 9 (O'BRIEN'S FIELD 18/9/09)
After a poor start, where Aghinagh looked as if they were going to run riot, Dripsey fought back well to win a narrow victory. While the final winning margin was 5 points Aghinagh will rue the large number of chances they missed, including a penalty at a crucial stage in the second half. Dripsey too will ponder over the number of chances they missed but will be delighted to have advanced to the next stage of the competition.

MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT FOR JUNIOR FOOTBALLERS
DRIPSEY 1 - 6 BLARNEY 2 - 10 (CARRIGADROHID 5/9/09)
Hot favourites going into this final by most neutrals Dripsey were disappointing against a much improved Blarney team. Both teams had soldered together throughout their respective All Ireland Campaigns last season and there was a friendly banter amongst the rival supporters. Blarney looked much fitter than a tired Dripsey team and at half time Blarney looked out of sight leading 1-7 to 0-2. Dripsey, to their credit, fought back well at the start of the second half and 15 minutes to go had reduced the lead to 3 points. This, however, was as close as they got and a second Blarney goal put the result beyond doubt.

Setanta's are now in the semi final where they will face Canovee, the Dripsey players who contributed to this victory included Robert Daly, Adrian O'Sullivan, Pat Fitzgibbon, Wayne Dineen, Shane Burke, Jason Fallon, Marc O'Donovan and Michael Fallon.

UNDERDOGS ALMOST PULL OF A SURPRISE VICTORY:
JUNIOR C FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP: (CARRIGADROHID 21/8/09)
DRIPSEY 0 - 6 INNISCARRA 1 - 6
n a much awaited encounter between two teams from the same Parish Dripsey performed with distinction against a team regarded as a grade above them. After a close first half the teams were level 0-3 apiece going into the break. Half time through the second half Inniscarra scored the only goal of the game and led 1-6 to 0-3. But those who thought that Dripsey would run out of steam were mistaken and they launched an onslaught on the Inniscarra goal for the last few minutes yielding 3 points and the game finished in a flurry of excitement with Dripsey pressing for an equalising goal. It would be unfair to single out any individual performance for Dripsey on a night the entire team played with pride and passion.

the team came out with all guns blazing and in the end the failure
to take their chances cost Dripsey dearly. However, their second half

Dripsey came back from the dead to win this top of the table clash
by the narrowest of margins. Dripsey started with the aid of the
strong wind and went in leading 1-6 to 0-3 at half time thanks to
a goal by Diarmuid O'Riordan. Fermoy dominated for most of the second
half and with time nearly up they led by 3 points and were looking
comfortable. The game changed in the twinkling of an eye when David
O'Sullivan scrambled home an Aidan Buckley shot to put the teams
on level terms. Both sides had a chance to take the lead but the
final chance fell to David O'Sullivan who pointed from the right

Despite getting off to a great start where they led 0-7 to 0-2 after
11 minutes Dripsey's tough week, where they played league games against
Milford and Fermoy within the previous 7 days, finally took its toll
and they looked a very tired team at the end of the match. Having
qualified for the league final after beating Fermoy the pressure
was off Dripsey and the absence of a number of played who played

Having played the same opposition the previous week in the football
championship Dripsey eventually pulled away from Ballygarvan to set
up a semi final meeting with Western Gaels. As the scoreline indicates
Dripsey ability to score points was to prove critical. Ballygarvan
will rue their indiscipline as they had 2 players sent off and the
red card in the first half was to prove very costly. The Dripsey team
was well prepared under coach Markie O'Sullivan and even though they
are young they fought well against a much more physical opposition.

the league and championship double following an impressive performance
against the home team. The sides were level at half time 1-4 to 0-7

half display saw Setantas through. The game marked the return of
Robert Daly from a long term injury and he captained the team giving
a fine display form no 6. Brendan Daly again struck for a vital goal

the wind and 2 early goals. They led at half time 3-7 to no score. Whites

Dripsey held on for a narrow 2 point victory against near neighbours
Aghabullogue in a tense exciting game held under lights in Ballincollig.
Dripsey started well while playing with the wind and held a comfortable
1-9 to 0-3 lead at half time. Aghabullogue came out with all guns blazing
in the second half and an early goal brought them back into the game.
The game was very exciting and when Aghabullogue levelled the game
with their second goal with about 10 minutes to go they seemed to have
gained the upper hand. To their credit Dripsey fought back to go 2
points clear with time nearly up and the game finished in a welter
of excitement when an Aghabullogue side line cut landed in the Dripsey
square in the last play of the game. Dripsey centre back Conor Hayes
bravely caught the ball but took a heavy knock in doing so and with
that referee Diarmuid Kirwin (Eire Og) blew the final whistle. Dripsey

DRIPSEY 4 - 14 ST JAMES (ARDFIELD) 3 - 4
Having recently lost the U13 County football final by a narrow margin
Dripsey made no mistake against St James in Newcestown last Sunday night.
Playing against the wind in the first half Dripsey started brightly and
were comfortable for most of the first half until St James scored 2 goals
in the space of a couple of minutes to leave the teams level at half
time 1-5 to 2-2. Whatever the coaches said to the players during the
break had the desired effect and Dripsey came out of the blocks quickly
and built up a big lead in the first 10 minutes of the second half. Dripsey's
ability to score points proved crucial and there was little doubt of
the result for most of the half. The Dripsey coaches can take a bow for
the way they prepared the team. The only negative on the night was the
lack of support for such a well prepared team. TEAM: DEAN O'SULLIVAN,

FOR INTERMEDIATE HURLERS:
DRIPSEY 2 - 11 BANDON 2 - 12 (6/8/11 IN BRINNY)
Dripsey can be considered unlucky to be out of this years Intermediate
Hurling Championship when they lost by a single point to championship
favourites Bandon. Despite the loss of 5 players who played championship
last year Dripsey put it up to Bandon from the start and were unlucky
to go in 2 points down at half time. Bandon on top half way through the
second half and with ten minutes left Dripsey trailed by 7 points. It
was at this stage Dripsey showed their fighting spirit and with time
nearly up Mark O'Sullivan levelled the match. In the remaining minute
both sides had a chance to win the match and Bandon held out for a narrow

heavy defeat to an impressive Kanturk team. Dripsey followed their usual
pattern after football and will need a major improvement before their

with Kanturk leading 12 points to 9 at half time. Kanturk brought Cork
sub goal keeper Anthony Nash outfield in the second half and he proved
a revelation scoring 1-6. On a positive note for Dripsey Diarmuid O'Riordan
returned scoring 1-8 with 1-5 from play. Coach Ger Manley has a lot of

Dripsey had a tight victory in their opening match in the newly created
Muskerry Intermediate Hurling Cup. The concept of this 8 team tournament
is to re-establish the local rivalry and this match was a great advertisement
for the sponsors. Dripsey played with the wind advantage in the first
half but it was Grenagh who made the early running and went in leading
1-5 to 1-3 at half time. The second half was very exciting and the lead
changed hands on a number of occasions and when Grenagh goaled a penalty
with 3 minutes of normal time left to go 2 points ahead Dripsey looked
in dire trouble. However, this was when Dripsey showed their fighting
spirit and scored 1-3 in the remaining minutes to secure a narrow victory.

was a war of attrition with Dripsey clinging on to a narrow lead for

This match was historical in that it was the first ever meeting of the
clubs in intermediate but it will be remembered for little else as 2
understrength sides served up a poor game. Dripsey were missing half
last year's championship team with less than a week to championship and
showed the signs early on as Eire Og raced into a 4 point lead 5 points
to 1. Amazingly Eire Og were to only score 1 point for the remaining
three quarters of the game and slowly Dripsey edged their was back into
contention. The half time score was 5 points to 3 in favour of Eire Og
but worse news for Dripsey was an injury to Diarmuid O'Riordan. This
seemed to spur on the rest of the Dripsey players as they took control
of the game in the second half. The crucial score came from centre back
Conor Hayes who sent a 90 metre shot that deceived the Eire Og goalie
and ended up in the net. This was to prove vital and Dripsey held on
for a deserved 5 point win. On the positive side Mark O'Sullivan played
for the last 10 minutes so hopes are high that he will be able to play
in next Saturdays Championship encounter with Barryroe.

HURLING REGIONAL LEAGUE FINAL_- BALLINORA 28/11/2010
KILBREE 3 - 9 SETANTA'S 0 - 10
In almost unbearably cold conditions Setanta's made a great start picking
off some fine points to go 0-5 to 0-0 ahead after 15 minutes. Kilbree
then got more into the game and by half-time Setanta's led by 0-6 to
0-3. In the second half Kilbree took their goal scoring opportunities
well and despite their best efforts Setanta's could not make the vital
break through for the goal they so badly needed and deserved. Thanks
to the players for doing their best in the artic conditions that prevailed
and also to Bridget Weeks and Mary Burke for providing soup / sandwiches
for both teams afterwards. Dripsey Players: Rob Daly, Cian Mc Donnell,

DRIPSEY 1 - 9 BALLINCOLLIG 1 - 1.
Dripsey travelled to Ballinora to take on Ballincollig in what turned
out to be a great game of hurling. Dripsey missed a lot of scoring opportunities
in the first half but never looked in trouble and in the second half
their perseverance paid off when they ran out worthy winners in the end.
The team had a party afterwards in Ballinora's hall which was a great
ending to a great evening. Well done to all those involved in the team
especially Daniel Buckley their trainer who gives so much of his time
to them. TEAM / PANEL: MARK O'CONNELL, PATRICK O'CONNELL, SHANE O'RIORDAN,

Many Dripsey supporters were very wary travelling to this match due to
the absence of a number of key players. However, the talk afterwards
was all about the new players who have come in and the balanced performance
of the team in general, highlighted by the spread of scorers. While Diarmuid
O'Riordan finished the game with 1-9, 8 players in total contributed
to the scoreboard. Dripsey now look forward to a hectic few weeks juggling

A very good second half by Setanta's ensured them victory and their
second brace of league points in the non exam hurling competition.
The half time score was 1-5 to 0-5 in favour of Setanta's whose goal
came from Shane Burke, second half goals from Noel Sharpe (two) and
Cormac Field eased Setanta's into a good position but a Ballinascarthy

Dripsey can point to he absence of Cork Panellist Mark O'Sullivan and
team Captain Pat O'Riordan, but in reality Dripsey lost to a far more
committed Aghabullogue team. The final score probably flattered Dripsey
because their opponents looked far better in all areas of the pitch.
Dripsey were always playing catch up after a poor start where Aghabullogue
got two early goals. John Hogan's late goal was no more than scant consolation.
The Dripsey selectors now face a major problem to get their best team
for the championship match in ten days against Barryroe. TEAM: AIDAN

HURLING LEAGUE FINAL
DRIPSEY 8 - 10 ARDFIELD 3 - 6 (O BRIEN'S FIELD 1/11/09)
Last Sunday proved to be a day when Dripsey hurlers could do no wrong.
The U 21's won their semi final then the U 12's put up a great display
of hurling to beat Ardfield in the Muskerry / Carberry hurling league
final. The scoreline did not do justice to Ardfield who put up a great
battle but could not get the better of the Dripsey side. This U 12 team
has been training under Diarmuid O'Riordan along with selectors Tony
O'Sullivan and Colm O'Riordan for the past few years and on Sunday you
could see all their hard work coming together. This is their second hurling
trophy this season earlier in the year they won the Mid Cork 11 a side
hurling championship.

DRIPSEY 1 - 15 BALLINORA 2 - 7
Dripsey's U 21's put in a good performance against a determined Ballinora
team to reach the final against Grenagh next Saturday. Playing with
the aid of a strong wind in the first half Dripsey led by 10 points
to 1 - 1 at half time. An early second half goal by Paul O'Regan
put Dripsey in a comfortable position but Ballinora kept trying
to the
end. Dripsey will play Grenagh in the final next Saturday night in

Following a poor performance against Cobh in the County Championship
Setanta's put in a very spirited performance in this hard hitting semi-final
game played last Monday. The five Dripsey players who started in this
game all made vital contributions to this important victory which means
that Setanta's will contest their third final for 2009 against St Colm's.
Dripsey players and positions: Cian Mc Donnell (Goalkeeper), Robert
Daly (Full Back), Adrian O'Sullivan (Right Half Back), Shane Burke
(Left Half
Forward), Pat Fitzgibbon (Right Half Forward).
MINOR HURLERS LOSE
COUNTY SEMI FINAL: (CAHERLAG) SUNDAY 18/10/09 SETANTA'S 0 - 10 COBH
6 - 14
The combined minor team of Dripsey and Ballinora finished their campaign
with a disappointing performance against a strong Cobh outfit. The final
scoreline did not do Setanta's justice but they were certainly off the
mark and showed a clear lack of hurling practice. The large time gap
since their last championship game plus the fact that they were involved
in football championship until recently were major factors in this but,
even at their best, they would have struggled against a team of Cobh's
quality. Dripsey players involved were Marc O'Donovan, Robert Daly, Shane
Burke, Pat Fitzgibbon and Cian Mc Donnell.
U 8 & U 10'S HURLERS:
( SUNDAY 11th OCT IN MACROOM)
The U10's and U8's travelled to Macroom on Sunday last. The U 8's were much too strong for a very weak Macroom side and in the U 10's it was a much tighter contest with Macroom just edging in front.

U 21 HURLING CHAMPIONSHIP: (WED 30/9/09 CLOUGHDUV)DRIPSEY 2 - 12 KILMICHAEL 0 - 19. Despite a lack of numbers at this grade the 16 men of Dripsey put up a very good fight against a fancied Kilmichael team. The early signs looked bad for Dripsey as their opponents raced into an early lead. The switch of Conor Hayes from centre back to mid field worked a treat and a goal by Kevin Foley put Dripsey into a 1-8 to 0-9 half time lead. The second half proved very exciting and Kilmichael built up a 4 point lead with a large number of frees. A goal by Dripsey's Kevin Buckley near the end promised a very exciting injury time but, astonishingly the referee played no extra time despite a minute stoppage near the end. However, the Dripsey players lost no honour in defeat as they kept the fight right up to the final whistle.TEAM: SHANE MANLEY, PAUL CORKERY, STEVE MURRAY, MARK O'SULLIVAN, JEREMY O'DRISCOLL, CONOR HAYES (0-7), TIM BURKE, SHANE O'LEARY (0-1), MARTIN O'SULLIVAN, ADRIAN O'SULLIVAN, AIDAN MURRAY, JOHN T COLLINS, PAUL O'REGAN (0-4), KEVIN FOLEY (1-0), JOHNNIE O'SULLIVAN, SUB :KEVIN BUCKLEY (1-0)

Sam Maguires, Diarmuid O'Mathunas, Kilmichael and Dripsey contested this very well organised competition on a round robin basis, Dripsey with wins over O'Mathunas and Sam Maguires and a loss to Kilmichael qualified for the final where they were given a second chance to play Kilmichael. The final ended in a draw but in extra time a great goal by Aaron O'Riordan gave Dripsey victory. The winners were presented with their medals by Mr Dermot Foley Chairperson of Kilmichael under age section.

U 13 HURLING FINAL : (FRIDAY 25/9/09 BALLINORA)
DRIPSEY 0 - 7 GRENAGH 2 - 12
The final scoreline did not do justice to the effort put in by a gallant Dripsey team that came up against a very strong Grenagh challenge. The first half was very close with Dripsey behind by 1 point 0-5 to 0-4 at half time. However, once Grenagh got the vital first goal Dripsey were always on the bad foot.

Dripsey U12 hurlers added another title to the club's roll of honour with and impressive victory against an emerging Macroom team. The standard of hurling was good despite the wet conditions and the ground hurling was particularly impressive from both sides. The win will have pleased Dripsey coach Diarmuid O'Riordan, who has spent a lot of time coaching this group over the past couple of years.

FOOTBALL: LEAGUE FINAL 18/7/11
Dripsey 2 - 3 Douglas 7 - 7
Dripsey travelled to Ballinlough on Monday night to play Douglas in the
league final. Dripsey had a strong team out on the night but were unable
to compete with a strong Douglas team that included two senior players.
Grading of teams in ladies football needs to be looked at as this is
very disheartening for a young Dripsey side who are only on the go for
a few years. Hope all these players will stay together and come back
to give a good account of themselves in the Championship. Well done to
all the Dripsey players and their mentors who tried their best on the
night. Congratulations to Douglas on their great win.

Dripsey traveled to Castlemagner last Tuesday night for the league semi-final.
They came away with a well deserved one point victory. Dripsey had a
great first half and had all the play but failed to take their scores.
Castlemagner came out fighting in the second half and really put pressure
on the Dripsey backs. A goal in the last five minutes left just a point
between the sides. Somehow Dripsey held on and will now face Douglas
in the league final. Well done to our new players Sarah Dineen and Eimear

but they were given a lesson in football from a strong Castlemagner

team took a long time to settle. After a strong second half, Dripsey
were unlucky to lose by five points. Congratulations to Caitlin
