The Pasáiste Óg section (5-12 years of age) of Passage West GAA club are delighted to announce that they have moved the club forward from Bronze to Silver accreditation, under the Rebel Óg Benchmarking Coaching Vision 2020 Programme for the work they completed in 2017. Moving from Bronze to Silver in consecutive years is quite rare, so this is a huge achievement by everyone associated with Pasáiste Óg. First of all, we would like to thank every child, parent, helper, and coach, for the hours spent attending training & matches, setting up the clubhouse for during/after the blitzes & for organising the Healthy Eating initiatives during 2017. Without you we could not do what we do! What is the Rebel Óg Benchmarking Coaching Vision 2020 Programme? Rebel Óg Coaching Benchmarks 2020 were successfully launched in early 2015 and provide a template for best practice in coaching, promoting maximum participation and optimal playing standards in juvenile clubs throughout Cork city and county. The programme includes minimum requirements for entry, with subsequent progression to Bronze, Silver or Gold targets, which clubs would strive to achieve with the assistance of their local GDA. Bronze criteria are based on establishing a primary school coaching and games programme in schools within a club’s catchment area. Silver criteria are based on an appropriate programme of club coaching and games for 5-12 year old’s, while Gold criteria are based on appropriate coaching and games for 13-18 year old’s. The programme in each club is overseen by the local GDA Paudie O’Brien, and organised countywide by County Coaching Officer Kevin O’Donovan and Games Manager Kevin O’Callaghan. Silver Targets Child Player Coaching & Games Programme – 5-12 year old’s

Some Photos from Brian Geary Memorial Trophy Passage West GAA Club Golf ClassicU12 Football League v Ballygarvan Match reportU12 Football League
Friday 28th July Passage 6-7 Ballygarvan 4-1 Passage were too strong for Ballygarvan on Friday night, and probably should have won by more but for going for goal too much in the first half instead of putting the ball over the bar - but Niky Lyons (2), Brendan Calnan and Keelin Collins got good goals to leave the halftime score 4-0 to 1-0 to Passage. The lads rectified the points situation in the second half - scoring 2-7. There were strong performances in every line, from Mark Tiernan in goals to Conor Hanlon as target man up front. Niky Lyons (2-2), Ronan Byrne (1-3) and Brendan Calnan (2-0) led the scoring and they were well supported by Keelin Collins (1-0) & Charlie Lester (0-1) at Centre Forward & Midfield who both had a hand in every attack and score. Some of the scores taken were of the highest quality - especially from Ronan & Niky from Wing Forward - while Keelin and Dylan in particular covered every blade of grass. Dylan Barrett was his usual dominant self at Centre Back, on Ballygarvan's big dangerman. Mark Lester controlled it all at the back with Alfie O Connell and Cian Gill while Sam O Brien (0-1) had his best game in a Passage jersey - getting the score of the game with a great point after a barnstorming run. Kristian O Callaghan looked like he's been playing all his life in his first ever Gaelic Football match. Noah White had a hand in several scores throughout and Noah Sowinska set up numerous attacks from half back with simple accurate passes every time he got possession. Conor Hanlon was like a ball magnet at Full Forward and his hand passing distribution was fantastic. Brendan Calnan poached 2 goals in flashes that the defenders never saw coming. Mark Tiernan hit his target from the vast majority of his kickouts and set the team on the attack again and again. Strong performances all over the pitch showed there's more to come from these boys, especially as 5 of them are Under 11 as well. Passage: M. Tiernan, C. Gill, M. Lester, A. O'Connell, S. O'Brien, D. Barrett, K. O'Callaghan, C. Lester, R. Byrne, K. Collins, N. Lyons, N. White, C. Hanlon, B. Calnan, N. Sowinska Wishing the very best of luck to Rachel Sheehan and the Cork U16s in the All-Ireland Final v Galway this Wednesday 26th July. Throw-in at 7pm in Nenagh.

Junior Ladies First Round Championship winThe Junior Ladies had a great win this evening over Erin's Own at Manning Park in the first round of the championship. Having suffered defeat the hands of the Glounthaune side last year at the same stage, the Passage girls were determined to make amends and did so in style.
Passage took the lead early with a point from Emma Harrington and a goal from Carolyn Mullane, a lead they never relinquished. Erin's Own responded with a couple of scores but Passage went in at the break 2 point ahead. Erin's Own brought Passage's lead down to the bare minimum during the second half but a goal from Emma Harrington, some well worked points and outstanding defending from the Passage backs ensured they ran out deserving winners on a scoreline of 2-4 to 0-8. A great display and a great start to the championship. Next up for the Juniors are Araglen Desmonds Bui. Thanks to all supporters. Passage scorers: Emma Harrington 1-2, Carolyn Mullane 1-1, Katie Atkinson 0-1 Passage team: Elaine McCarthy, Aoife O'Flynn, Kate Dorgan, Kelly McGranaghan, Louise Walsh, Tia MacMahon, Aoife Allen, Laoise Heffernan, Ria O'Mahony, Emma Harrington, Amy O'Neill, Chloe McCarthy, Eimear Dorgan, Carolyn Mullane, Anna Horan, Katie Atkinson, Michelle Moriarty, Linda Gleeson and Lisa O'Sullivan.
