Crosshaven AFC held its charity 7-saide tournament in Camden last Sunday raising €5567.74 for Marymount Hospice.
A total of 16 teams entered the competition. Each team was required to have one female and one over 40’s player on the pitch at all times. The traditional group stage followed by knock-outs style of competition was adapted, and saw The Drake Bar in Crosshaven take on Crosshaven AFC J1’s in the final.
Both teams met early on in the group stage that saw the Drake win 2-0, but the J1’s came looking for revenge in the final. It was a close encounter, both sides putting their bodies on the line in hope of being crowned champions and securing bragging rights. One goal was the difference as The Drake’s keeper Kealan Daly, launched the ball to striker Skinny Middleton, who got his head to it and put the ball in the back of the J1’s net.
Eric Lordan, Manager of The Drake Bar, Jamie Fitz, Skinny Middleton, Kealan Daly, Tara Maher, Amy O’Regan, Padraig Murphy and Shay Murphy made up the winning team.
Following the presentation of the cup to Eric Lordan, he thanked Brian Curran for organising a fantastic tournament.
The event was sponsored by a number of local businesses including The Cork International Airport Hotel, ByPheobe Brows and Lashes, BEST Menswear, MCK Electrical LTD., Josh Hogan Car Valeting, Crosshaven MotorHomes, Funkytown, BadB The Label, OutHere Scribblin, The Anchor Crosshaven, Rivers End Crosshaven, Crosshaven House, DMC Painting Contractors, Happy Place Saunas, The Oar Crosshaven, The Drake Crosshaven and Barry’s Centra who provided the bbq.
Organiser Brian Curran thanked all the sponsors who donated prizes and entered teams all and those who took time to volunteer at the event to make it a success, “We had a brilliant day out for all ages and all for a great cause in Marymount Hospice Cork”.
