The club will be hosting a memorial service for the late, great Dermot Giltinan which will take place at the cricket grounds at Mardyke on Saturday, 9th April 2022.
The service, which will be led by Brother Martin of the Presentation Brothers, will allow many of his cricketing friends and clubmates to remember the great man and pay tribute to his lasting legacy at the Mardyke which was his second home.
Proceedings will commence at 2.30 p.m. on Saturday, 9th April, so we very much look forward to seeing you from 2 p.m. on the day.
There will be a video conferencing link available for anyone who wishes to dial in and say a few words so please contact info@corkcountycricketclub.com to indicate if you wish to do so.
Please confirm your attendance by email to either:
A huge thanks to Nick Tulloch and all of his assistants on the Youth Committee who represented the club with aplomb during the St. Patrick’s Day parade a few weeks ago.
After a two year break due to Covid, the club were once again participating and joined almost 2,500 others with plenty of colour, music and pageantry on show. The cricketers joined other Cork sporting clubs such as the hurlers and footballers from St Finbarrs and Nemo Rangers.
From the main stand, they received a standing ovation from the City’s councillors and management led by Lord Mayor Colm Kelleher and the Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney.
Great to see a big turnout and added exposure for the club and the game of cricket in Cork.
Cork County’s first and hopefully last virtual Awards Night take place on Friday, 30th April, as the club looked back on an eventful and challenging 2020 season that has been condensed due to the Covid health emergency resulting in a T20 only format across all levels of the game.
As the club was unable to celebrate the achievements and impact of members under more normal circumstances at an end of season dinner due to government restrictions, it was better late than never to have a look back as we prepare to look forward to the 2021 season.

Seeing as the club wasn’t able to host the 2020 Annual Awards Night due to the restrictions that have been in place since the end of last season, we will be naming the various award winners from U11s right up to the Club Player of the Year.
With the youth section recommencing training the week after then there is no better time to acknowledge the effects of players, teams and volunteers from a condensed 2020 season.
It should be no longer than an hour so hope to see as many of you there as possible.
The awards will include:
U11s Highlights & Achievements
Colts Highlights & Achievements

Emerging Player of the Year
Noel Cantwell Young Player of the Year

The draw for the 2020 Christmas Raffle took place in the surroundings of the old Pavilion at the Mardyke on Sunday, 20th December, at 8 p.m.
There was an overwhelming response to this year’s raffle with members and supporters getting involved in the organisation and purchase of tickets which was great to see. With the proceeds going towards a worthwhile cause and some fantastic prizes up for grabs, then anticipation was high ahead of the big draw.
MC on the night Andy Wootton was ably assisted by Talha Kayani, Kevin O’Sullivan and Abdul Jabbar Younus who took care of proceedings to announce the various winners of the raffle. The winners were selected by using an online number randomizer to void any suggestions of impropriety or Russian interference! π
The winners were drawn in reverse order starting with the 10th prize and working its way up to the main prize of a 2 night B&B stay at The River Lee Hotel.
12-month Pass for Blarney Castle & Gardens – Michael Stout
Pirahna Cricket equipment – Steve Ross
Selection of wines – Ross Durity
Afternoon Tea at The Metropole Hotel – Matt Reed
Uni Salon hair products – Desmond Lucey
The winners will be contacted individually to arrange delivery of the various prizes.
A huge thanks to all involved in organising and taking part in the quiz. Our original target of β¬1,500 was smashed with the club raising β¬ 2,705 towards the construction of two permanent net bays in the southeastern corner of the grounds with work due to start in the spring once the ground dries up.
We are delighted to launch the 2020 Club Christmas Raffle with some fantastic prizes up for grabs including the chance to win an eyewatering 2 Nights B&B at the River Lee Hotel in Cork, a β¬150 voucher for Meadows & Byrne, complimentary 2021 Club Membership among many others.
All proceeds from the raffle are going directly to the construction of two permanent net bays with artificial wicket surfaces in the southeast corner of the ground opposite the Pavilion. The new training facility would allow youth and adults to improve their game in a friendly and safe environment in an almost year-round basis.
Preparations for the construction of these net bays are at an advanced stage and we hope to begin construction as soon as ground conditions allow.
Your support would be greatly appreciated and go directly to support all our members in their goal to practice and play their best at Cork County Cricket Club.
Following the successful first instalment of the Great Lockdown Quiz, it will be returning on Saturday night, 16th May, to test your general knowledge and have a bit of fun in the process.
Once again, the quiz will be hosted on Zoom and a link will be sent to everyone who purchases a ticket. All participants will be broken into teams of 3 or 4 so if you want to be in a particular team then please add it to the note when you purchase your ticket. If you wear your club shirt then your team will automatically get a bonus point!
The winners will receive a β¬50 bar voucher which can be used to purchase pool tokens, club cap or used merely as a bar tab plus other great spot prizes up for grabs!
Tickets are β¬5 per person with all proceeds going to the ongoing running of the club and towards expenses for any potential cricket season.
