Under 21 Football
On Saturday afternoon last our Under 21 footballers claimed the club’s 11th County and our first since 2012 when they defeated a fine Gaultier side in the 2017 County Final in what turned out to be an excellent game of football. Played before a large attendance in the Gold Coast, the early stages of the game were evenly contested before a well taken goal just before half time gave us a half time lead of 5 points. The second half of the game was even more fiercely contested and credit to Gaultier they fought right to the full time whistle. There were great scenes of celebrations at the full time whistle and it was most fitting to have John Elsted captain the side to victory on a pitch in the heart of Ballinacourty. Indeed as many if our older members will know the Gold Coast pitch is almost next to the site of the old Elsteds pub which was the hub of the club for many years.
We would like to thank all the players and management team involved with the lads for all the dedication and commitment they have shown over the last 12 months.  They won’t have long to dwell on the victory though as the first round of the 2018 County Championship against Comeragh Gaels takes place in 4 weeks.
TEAM: K. DWANE, C. DWYER, C. McCARTHY, J. DUGGAN, C. McCARTHY, J. ELSTED, D. McGRATH, J. BERESFORD, N. MONTGOMERY, T. LOOBY, D. LOOBY, S. WHELAN BARRETT, S. CLIFFE, S. DALY, E. KIELY.
