U18 Division 1 LeagueÂ
Macroom and Kinsale met in division 1 league match on Tuesday 12th March at  the  Castle Grounds. Both sides were missing a few players  through injury but  served up a very  exciting  match considering  conditions. Kinsale  were  off the  mark  first  with a fine  point and  quickly  reeled off 2 more  points before  Macroom  got  a point.  A Mark Condon goal helped Macroom settle however some  sloppy  play all over the field left Kinsale back into  the game leaving  the  score at  half time Macroom  2.2 to Kinsale 1.7.
Kinsale  were  better at  holding the  ball and  not  giving  away  possession in the second half as they  kicked  3 unanswered  points  before Macroom  got  a  goal through Kuba. With  the  game  heading  towards the  last  10  minutes Kinsale  stretched their  lead  out further ensuring  a good  start  to  the  league.Â
Macroom  will  have  to  dust  themselves  down  for  a  meeting with local rivals  Kilmurry  in a few weeks  time. Full Time Macroom 4.04 Kinsale 3.12.

U-14 Premier 1
Ballinora v Macroom U-14 Premier 1 League
Macroom travelled to Ballinora for their first league match of the year - both teams stepping up to P1, Ballinora having won P2 last year. Macroom were knocked out in the semi final last year by the narrowest of margins so there was a hunger to beat the champions.
A strong cross wind favoured Macroom in the first half and they led 0-3 to 0-5 at the break with superb scores from Ryan Brophy and Dylan O'Shea.Â
The second half started very competitively before Macroom pushed on and opened a healthy lead cemented by two goals by Dylan O'Shea and a superb point from range by Cayden Dundon and another by Conor Angland. Ballinora battled but Macroom defended well and dominated the closing stages. Ballinora did get a consolation goal and a point in the final two minutes but the result was never in doubt.
