The football finals are provisionally pencilled in for Saturday the 12/6/10

Douglas had a convincing win over Nemo Rangers in the Féile Peil final played at Páirc uí Rinn on Saturday 24th April. Douglas will now represent Cork in the national finals to be played in Derry during the summer.

Last Saturday evening (24/02/10) St. Finbarr’s defeated Douglas in the under 21 final on a scoreline of 1-10 to 0-10. Outstanding points from Finbarr Desmond and Cormac Collins were the highlight of the first half. However, scores were always going to be hard to acquire in a game played in poor weather conditions and the critical score of the game arrived in the dying embers of the first half when the Barr’s goaled. This was the first goal of the championship campaign conceded by a Douglas defence where Bryan McPolin has been brilliant in goal.

Extra time was needed to separate Douglas and Bishopstown in the semi-final of the unde 21 football championship at Ballinlough on Saturday 17th April. In a titanic struggle both defences were on top and little separated the sides throughout this absorbing contest.

Short several of their regulars the Douglas senior hurlers travelled East on Sunday evening for a league encounter with Midleton and were unfortunate to lose by a solitary point. Meanwhile, the under 21 footballers dug deep to see off the challenge of a very well prepared St. Vincent’s side on Easter Monday at Ballinlough to advance to a championship semi-final showdown with southside rivals Bishopstown. Playing against the breeze Douglas were grateful for an outstanding first half save from brilliant goal keeper Bryan McPolin as Vincent’s threatened to forge an early lead.

The Rochestown Park Hotel is the venue for the victory dinner to honour the success of the Douglas 2009 Intermediate hurling championship winning team and the Junior "B" championship and Seandun Cup double winning team. The following are the details:


Date: Friday April 16th


Time: 8.00pm


Venue: Rochestown Park Hotel


Price: €30 per person


Tickets available from: Dermot Keane, Ollie Tobin, Brendan Larkin

The Douglas minor hurlers maintained their unbeaten streak in the league with a win over Eire Og on St. Patrick’s Day. During a tough opening half Martin Barry scored some fine points from both frees and open play. Alan Cadogan chipped in with a goal and Douglas led by 1-06 to 1-04 at the interval. Once again the Douglas defence was rock solid with Sean Fogarty and Seán Collins especially prominent.

On Tuesday 16th March, the Douglas senior footballers shrugged aside the adverse weather conditions in Cloughduv to beat Bishopstown in the final of the Tadhg Crowley Plate. This was a great boost as the countdown to championship begins. Meanwhile, on St. Patrick's Day Whitescross provided the opposition for the Junior “B” footballers in the Seandun Cup final played at Rathpeacon, but again Douglas secured the silverware.
