Ilen always pushing underage

For a club with a small catchment area, Ilen Rovers are well used to punching above their weight.

Fachtna Collins, Kieran Daly, Kevin O’Sullivan, Diarmuid Duggan and Conor O’Driscoll have all played for Cork at senior level, with Dan Mac Eoin likely to be the next off the production line.

Last year, Alex Hassett, Tom Bushe and Seán O’Donovan were all county minors and there are sure to be more on the way as the Baltimore club are the recipients of the first Rebel Óg monthly award of 2015, having been successful at minor and U14 level.
