The Cork Championship Programme for the year was produced last week. We are down to play the first round of the Senior Hurling Championship on Saturday May the 16th(the night before Bartlemy Races) in Pairc Ui Rinn at 6.15 followed by Douglas and St. Finbarrs at 8pm. Extra time will be played in both these games if either ends in a draw.
FIXTURE.

SCOR.
We competed well in the Solo Singing (Mary Hazlewood) and Leiriu (John Arnold and Jonathon Brackett & Kitty O Shea) but came home with no trophies on the night. The county Scór Quiz Final is on in the Eire Ãg GAA Pavilion in Ovens on tonight Thursday March the 12th. at 8pm. This is open to all teams in the County.
Laois- 1915.
Laois won the All Ireland Hurling title in 1915 -one hundred years ago. Plans are underway in the O Moore County to commemorate this anniversary. In the 1915 Final Laois defeated Cork and by a quirk of fate Cork were trained by a Corkman, Pat Lee, from Bartlemy village. The terms 'trainer', 'manager' or 'coach' were not invented back then but Pat Lee is credited as being a huge influence on the winning side. Pat had been a great player on the 'old' Bartlemy and Rathcormac teams in the late 1880's. He found employment with the GS&W Railway Company and went to work in various Train Stations. It was while he was working at Ballybrophy, Co. Laois that he got involved with the local GAA scene. Ballygeehan were the Laois Co SH Champions in 1914 and thus had the selection of the County team in 1915 -in a similar way Redmonds were the Cork standard bearers. On Friday week an event is being held in the little hamlet of Ballygeehan to kick-start the commemorative events for the year. Relations of Pat Lee from Bartlemy, Limerick and Spain have been invited. On Easter Monday Cork and Laois will play a Senior Hurling game in Ballacolla (Clogh-Ballacolla) is the present day GAA Club in the Parish. Later in the year a Booklet on the 1915 win will be published.
