Juvenile Coaching Activity We are fortunate to have been able to arrange for the GAA Award 1 Coaching Course to be held in Caherlag in January’14. This course was run over 4 sessions/16+ hours in total and the content was very comprehensive covering: Technical Proficiency Tactical Prowess Team Play Physical Fitness Playing Facts Psychological Focus Communication The focus of the course was the further development of the ‘How to Coach’ skills by placing the coaches in situations that they will face when training resumes in February – the organisation of games activities, activities to develop skill and activities to develop the various aspects of physical fitness. In total 20 of our juvenile coaches completed the Award 1 having previously completed the Foundation course. The completion of such courses will improve the standard of coaching in our club and ensure our juveniles maximise their potential to develop their skills and abilities in the long-term.
Paudie Butler Wall Ball Drills: On Tuesday 4th February 2014 Paudie will be in Caherlag from 7-9pm to hold a coaching workshop how to use the Hurling Wall or Alley to develop and improve skill levels. While the session will demonstrate some drills, it will also focus on the mechanics of the swing, body position when executing various skills and also on communication from coach to player. Those who have seen Paudie in action before will be aware of the powerful and motivating tutor he is and this session should not be missed.
Erins Own Hurling Skills Report: The Juvenile committee recently finalised this report and will present it to all coaches early 2014, with a number of subsequent sessions planned to develop the competencies of our coaches. The report contains information and guidelines on: a. Skills to be taught at each group b. Movement, Agility, Co-ordination & Speed development c. Skills Testing d. Hurling At Home e. Coach Recruitment f. Appropriate ratio of games & training sessions
Other coaching activity in 2014 will cover specialist position sessions for goalkeepers, defending and forward play
If any parent or club member would like to participate in any of these sessions, get more information on any aspect of them or is interested in getting involved in any way in our Juvenile section, then please contact Brendan O’Riordan (086-1723965), Brian O’Shea (087-2323461) or Martin Bowen (086-4176345)

Club History
Erins Own Camogie Club. - History of the early days.
On October 1st 1970 Erins Own Camogie Club was formed for the first time. The president was Mary Waterman. Nora Nichol (nee Waterman) was the chairperson. Mary Waterman’s daughter Nora (Roche) was elected as secretary and county board delegate. Mary had played at the highest level for Cork in her young days. Nora Nichol was also a former Cork camogie player having played for both Mayfield and Sarsfields in her youth. The club played their first match in atrocious conditions against Mayfield at Iona Park on Sunday 25th October. Erins Own were successful on a score of eight goals to nil, and Mary the President played in the full back line at 43 years of age. She was joined during the game by her daughter Nora. Thus Mary and Nora join the ranks of families in Erins Own who can claim that two generations of their family played on the same team. In 1972 Imokilly won the Cork County Senior Camogie Championship and the club had a representative on the team Regina O’Leary (now Lehane) from Little Island and Nora Nicholl was the chairperson of that regional club. They beat U.C.C. in the final by one goal. There were four Higgins sisters from Watergrasshill on the team. Angela Higgins one of these sisters is the mother of Jack Sheehan who plays at senior level for the club.
Unfortunately interest in camogie faded out after a while in the club.
However on or about the end of April,1995 a group of ladies got together with a view to reforming the Rogha Eireann Camogie club. The officers elected at their special meeting to consider reformation were Chairperson Hilda Keohane. Vice-chairperson Jean Sheehan. Secretary Lorraine Sheehan. Treasurer Phyllis Geasley. And P.R.O. Phillippa Wakefield. Hilda Keohane in particular had been involved for many years prior to 1995 with camogie in the club, but in 1995 it was felt that there was enough interest in the game to reform. Erins Own was benefiting from the coaching that the girls were getting in the schools, and now there was a definite link between school and club.
This note is from the programme at the opening of the Arus in 8th June, 1996.
Hilda Keohane notes. “The opening of this new complex has come at a great time for our camogie club. We reformed last year and are going from strength to strength. We have teams at under 12. 14. 16. And Junior B.
The interest is amazing, especially at under age with twenty to twenty-five players turning up for every match. Our Under 12 team have won all their matches so far and we expect them to win out their section”.
Anyone with any history of the club or pictures old or new you would like to share or include in the Erins Own Newsletter of Erins Own Hurling, Football, Camogie, Juvenile, or ladies Football please send them on to [email protected]

Sheehan, Michael Lambe, Pat Bennett. Tom Mackey. Whilst there have been some personnel changes over the years-the core group most of whom are in the photo are still going strong every Wednesday night. This photo was taken on the occasion of the committees twentieth birthday (2013). They will all be twenty-one years old on or about the 12th February next and we wish them a very happy twenty first, and long may they continue their marvellous work and record of dedication and commitment for the club. There is a lot of water gone under the bridge since 1993 and this group have survived, through major changes in our club, thankfully mostly for the better. As the saying goes "".men may come and men may go but the Lotto committee (mostly women by the way) goes on forever"

The Glounthaune Community Association will be holding a Complimentary Coffee Morning in the Community Centre on the 7th of February 2014 @10.30am - The Community Garda, Noel Fitzgerald will be in attendance to discuss all your home issues Chairman’s Address:
A Cháirde, The year ahead is a milestone in the clubs history it being the 50th anniversary of the foundation of Rogha Eireann , It is a testament to the men who had the foresight to amalgamate the Little Island and Knockraha clubs, to see the stature which Rogha Eireann now holds with the gaels of Cork County. Success at senior, Intermediate, Junior, Under 21 & Minor at both hurling & football including numerous counties at juvenile level are amongst the club achievements. The club now boasts of fine premises and playing fields at Caherlag. However it is not for the club to stop here, plans are afoot for future facilities to be put in place to keep the club at the forefront of modern development within GAA. For a club to maintain its success we must always look to our youth, Rogha Eireann had the foresight some years ago to put a full time coach in place and so begun the Erins Own schools coaching scheme, A unique project founded by the club with help from generous sponsors. Children are now trained in the skills of the game from 6 to 8 years old right up to senior. As I previously said it is the 50th anniversary of the club and to this end we will have a number of events throughout the year to mark this great milestone, including the launch of our clubs history book. I wish all our members, players, mentors & supporters the best for 2014. Le meas mór, liam nó connell
