COLLEGE CORINTHIANS
The Clubs underage committee has been busy for
the last few weeks making preparations for the start of the new
season including our Saturday morning coaching sessions and
Street Leagues. This committee is responsible for the development
of our youngest members, namely the under six to under ten age
groups, training for which takes place every Saturday morning at
our grounds in Castletreasure. They look after the organisation
of the Clubs Annual Street Leagues as well as preparing Club
teams for the Southside League.
Times
This year the coaching sessions will start on Saturday August 26th
with the Under nines (1991) and under tens (1990) on from 10.00
am to 11.30 am and the under eights (1992) and Under sevens (1993
& 1994) starting at 12.00 noon and finishing at 1.30pm.
Coaching
The schoolboys will be coached in the basic skills of the game
with the emphasis always on fun and enjoyment. The schoolboys are
split into their own age group and are further broken down into
manageable numbers. Many of the coaches who look after the
schoolboys are experienced soccer people who have participated in
FAI Introductory and Intermediate coaching courses. In addition
the Club has drawn up its own coaching manual for schoolboys
which sets out guidelines for the development of our schoolboys.
The schoolboys also benefit from the fact that they have access
to the Clubs All-weather pitch.
Street Leagues
During the year the underage section will be running Street
Leagues for the schoolboys at under seven, under eight, under
nine and under eleven age levels. With over thirty teams
generally involved, it is a hectic time for the Club, but a time
which brings a lot of fun and enjoyment. The Street League finals
are usually held on the last Saturday in May, when a leading
sports personality comes along to present the trophies to the
schoolboys.
Southside Leagues.
In recent years the Schoolboy section has entered teams in the
local Southside Leagues, an inter Club competition for Under
Seven, Under Eight, Under Nine, and Under Ten age groups.
Corinthian Boys has enjoyed a great deal of success at this level
with our Under Eight and Under Nine squads winning titles last
season while our Under Sevens lost the League final on penalties.
Over 140 youngsters from the Club played in the leagues last year
.
UK Trip
Since our formation in 1994 the schoolboy section has travelled
to England on a number of occasions. Last season Corinthians Boys
sent two Under ten and one Unde Eleven team to the Solar Travel
World Cup in Liverpool. The thirty six schoolboys who traveled
all came through our Saturday morning coaching sessions. This
season the Club will be hoping to organise another trip to the UK.
New Members
The sessions are open to young lads not only from immediate
Douglas area but to schoolboys from anywhere in the city of
county. If you would like to join then simply come along on a

DOUGLAS CAMOGIE CLUB
Junior League
The junior team continued to build on their previous performances
with a fine win over Brian Dillons in the league. The first half
was evenly contested with the Douglas girls making Dillons work
hard for their scores with the strong wind. Catherine Jordan
scored two goals for Douglas in this half and completed her hat-trick
in the second half with another fine goal. In defence, the half-back
line of Gema Carroll, Anne-Marie Downey and Louise O'Regan made
some fine clearances, Eilish Murphy at mid-field showed some nice
touches while the forwards were ably lead by Amanda O'Regan with
Fiona O'Donovan picking off some nice points towards the end.
Well done girls.
Under 12
The quarter-final of the county has been fixed for the 23rd of
August against Ballincollig in Ballincollig. With 54 teams in the
competition our achievement in reaching this stage is a great
testimony to the players and management. Make a note of the date
and watch out for details of the time.
Inter-county scene
Congratulations to Amanda O'Regan on her performance with the
county juniors against Laois in the All-Ireland semi-final.
Playing at corner back she made some vital clearances and her
puck-out was a major contribution to their victory. So our trip
to Croke Park in September takes on more significance as we now
have one of our own to cheer on.
Camogie Development camp
The first camogie development camp takes place from Monday 14th
to 18th under the management of Eddie Murphy. The camp will cover
individual and team skills as well as many other aspects of the
sport. I hope the weather holds out but even if we get a wet day
the indoor option should ensure that those attending get good
value form the occasion.
