Charleville and Bishopstown honoured by Rebel Og for national Feile wins

Charleville and Bishopstown U15 teams are the joint June Rebel Óg award winners.

Both enjoyed national success in their respective Féile competitions.

Charleville enjoyed victory in hurling and Bishopstown ladies footballers brought home the cup to their club.

The Town started by winning in Mid-Cork before moving on to the county section, where they got the better Éire Óg in the final.

This was a repeat of the Mid-Cork final and once again this was a very tight and entertaining game.

It was on to Tipperary after that for Bishopstown where in the group stages they played John Lockes, Erin’s Own Sacred Heart and Sliabh na mBan.

In the semi-final they played St Anne’s and the final saw a rematch with Sliabh na mBan which the Town came through to be crowned national champions.

After winning their Cork Féile competition Charleville headed to Toomevara and in their group games at the national event they took on Clonmel Óg and Abbeyknockmoy. They drew with Clonmel and knew they had to beat Abbeyknockmoy to reach the semi-final, which they duly did by 2-12 to 1-3.

In the semi-final they face St Kierans and another great display saw them come out on top by 2-8 to 0-3.

They then faced Toomevara in the decider, which was always going to be a battle.

At half-time the Cork side led by 0-4 to 0-1, but they knew their opponents were far from out of it.

But Charleville managed to hold out for a one point win, 0-8 to 0-7, to be crowned champions.

Michael O’Mahony, chairman of Rebel Óg congratulated both sides on their wins and said any day you win a national title is a great one for all involved.

He praised the players, coaches, clubs and parents for the work put in to get them to this point and wished them well for the rest of their respective seasons.
