Ross Oil Junior Football Championship – 1st Round
 
Dripsey  1-12   Kilmichael   1-7
Kilmichael were very impressive in the opening twenty minutes of this game and looked to be heading for a comfortable victory.  Kilmichael were leading by 1-5 to 0-3, playing well and seemingly in control.  Dripsey slowly and steadily rallied in the run up to half time, however, and had points to be level at the break, 1-5 to 0-8. 
Kilmichael were still in a good place at this stage as they had the wind to help them in the second half but they never got going again.

Aghinagh   1-10   Donoughmore   0-7
Aghinagh, so unlucky in recent years, moved comfortably into the third round of the championship with this fine win over Donoughmore at a cold and damp Coachford.   Aghinagh were in front, 1-5 to 0-4 at half time.
On the restart, it soon became apparent that Aghinagh were not going to let this game slip. Donal Corkery had his fourth point in the 43rd minute and William Coakley fisted over the bar two minutes later to leave Aghinagh in control at the three quarter stage, leading by 1-9 to 0-6. Aghinagh were content to contain Donoughmore in the final quarter, limiting them to a single point from Shane Sexton.  Dermot

Ballincollig   1 - 10     Clondrohid   2 - 7
A point for Clondrohid deep in injury-time from Trevor O’Brien gave Clondrohid a well deserved draw against Ballincollig in this exciting JAFC first round clash at a cold and windy Donoughmore.  There were two points between the sides at the break, Ballincollig leading by 1-8 to 2-3.

Iveleary   2 – 15    Ã‰ire Óg   1 – 3
The Éire Óg second string stayed reasonably in contention with favourites Iveleary at a cold and windy Carraigadrohid but eventually in the final quarter were overwhelmed by the fire power of the in-form Inchigeela men, one of the top rated teams in this year’s championship.  Cathal Vaughan, still out injured, was an absentee from the Iveleary line out. Iveleary led by 1-5 to 0-3 at half time. On the restart, Iveleary increased their lead by three further points before Daniel O’Shea had a goal for Eire Óg, their only score of the second half in the 43rd minute.  Stung into action once again Iveleary finished the game in devastating fashion, scoring a further 1-7 without reply.

The second half began with Cill na Martra applying the pressure but failing to make it count on the scoreboard. In the 5th minute, Inniscarra broke out of defence, and a fine passing movement ended with Seán O’Donoghue finishing to the Cill na Martra net. Scorers:- Inniscarra: Seán O’Donoghue(2-2), Dan O’Connell(0-4), David Barry(0-2), Aaron O’Raw, Liam Collins and Colm Casey (0-1 each).

JFC - First Round Replay:
Ballincollig   2 – 6     Clondrohid   1 - 8
Clondrohid will feel that they deserved a draw in this championship replay a t Kilmurry but they now go into a ‘last chance saloon’ game with champions Kilmichael in Round Two in late June.  This was a rousing championship encounter  played in a fine sporting spirit and gave great entertainment to the spectators who watched on in cold and at times very heavy rain. The Ballincollig goals were vital to their cause, the first after 12 minutes helped them to a 1-4 to 0-5 interval lead and the second scored five minutes from time turned a two point deficit into their one point winning margin.  Clondrohid did have some chances of an equaliser in the time remaining but did not always take the right options and unfortunately suffered the consequences after a fine display.
Ballincollig: Ciarán Noonan: Chris Collins, Emmet Ryle, Tim O’Leary: James Cooper, John O’Brien, Dylan Kerstein: Bryan Kelly, Cian McCarthy: Michael Lordan, Pádraig O’Mahony, Daniel O’Connor: Conor Sexton, Alan O’Donovan, Killian Kelleher. Subs; David Tobin, Brian Glavin, Stephen Coughlan.
Clondrohid: John Corkery; Seán Lynch, Trevor O’Brien, James Kelleher; Conor O’ Leary, Lorcan Lynch, Seán O’Callaghan: Fergal Kelleher, Jeremy O’Sullivan: Mark Creed, Paddy Lynch, Danny O’Riordan: David O’Leary, Aidan Kelleher, Darren Dineen. Subs: Daniel O'Mahony (20), Declan Kelleher (20), Matt McDonagh (43), Neilus Murphy (49).
Referee: Mr Pat O̢۪Leary, Kilmurry.
