09/10/04 --- County Minor Hurling Semi-Final - Ballycosgry Rovers 0-9 Carrigaline 2-12 @ Parc Ui Rinn.
Our minor's hopes of county success ended last Saturday evening at Parc Ui Rinn when we went under to a very impressive Carrigaline outfit. At half time the scores were level 1-3 to 0-6. Kenneth O' Donoghue scoring 2 fine points looked a threat whenever he got the ball while Trevor O' Sullivan had a stormer at centre back. With 5 mins to go just 3 pts separated the sides but a late rally by the south east winners saw them qualify for the County final.

20/07/04 --- Minor "A" Hurling C'Ship Final - Ballycosgry Rovers 1-10 Kildorrery 0-10 @ Buttevant
The minors are North Cork Champs after a gap of 3 years with our last victory being in 2001 when the county was won. Played on a ideal surface this was a tight tense encounter with the sides level after 20 mins 0-3 each, Stephen O' Sullivan scoring all our points from frees. The crucial score in the game came in the 24th min when Gavin Morrissey gathered Kevin Hanley's clearance and left his man trailing to cooly finish and help Ballyhea to a 2pt half time lead 1-5 to 0-6. The second half continued the same way with our defence brilliantly marshalled by Trevor O' Sullivan and Kenneth O' Donoghue doing superbly at centre forward. With 10 mins to go we led 1-9 to 0-9 Kildorrery pointed a free in the 51st min but Gavin Morrissey replied in the 52nd and despite a constant onslaught from Kildorrery the Ballyhea defence with Dermot Hawe and Padraig Egan playing their hearts out victory was not to be denied. After the game North Cork Board chairman Tom Crowley presented the cup to Ballyhea's captain Martin O' Keeffe. Congrats to the players and mentors and best of luck in their quest for county glory.

22/04/04 --- Minor "B" Football League - Ballycosgry Rovers 2-6 Ballyclough 1-7 @ Liscarroll.
The minors opened their football league account with a dramatic victory over Ballyclough at Liscarroll last Sunday. Played in bitter cold conditions we trailed 0-5 to 0-1 at half time. With the aid of the strong breeze we gradually clawed our way back with a goal from Padraig Egan in the 31st min and a spectacular goal from Ger O'Leary Daly to put us 2-2 to 0-6 ahead after only 6 mins of the second half. Ballyclough regained the lead with a goal in the 39th min. Points from John O' Brien (41st) and Stephen O' Sullivan (43rd) had us a point ahead again only for Ballyclough to equalise again in the 44th min. The last 1/4 was very evenly contested with us nudging ahead with points from Stephen O' Sullivan (50th min) and Gavin Morrissey (51st) to put us 2 clear. Then came the late drama when Ballyclough were awarded a penalty in injury time only for the resultant kick to go harmlessly wide and give us our first 2 league points for 2004.
