Communityrefuse toallow droughtcancel HospicefundraiserAn heroic rural communityhas issued a rallying call toensure funding is raised tosupport the vital work beingcarried out by South Tip-perary Hospice nurses.A massive Hospice fun-draiser was in jeopardy dueto the worst drought to hitIreland in over forty yearsbut the people of Moyglasshave overcome hugeobstacles to ensure that theSilage Extravaganza on Sat-urday 28th and Sunday 29thJuly will go ahead.

“We know there are fam-ilies in desperate need of theservices South Tipperary

Hospice provide so we couldnot allow the weather destroythe purpose of the eventwhich is to raise money tokeep those services going”said organiser Matty Tynan.

The drought means thereis no grass to cut and over onehundred silage harvestersdue to travel from England,Northern Ireland and all overIreland to provide the mainattraction for the fundraiserwill not travel now.

“We were planning this foreight months, cancellationwas not an option because ofthe drought. There was noway this community wasgoing to let down the familieswho need the Hospice ser-vices and in the last twoweeks we pulled out all thestops to put in place a dif-ferent plan to compensate for

the loss of the main feature”said Mr Tynan.

That indomitable spirit ofthe Moyglass community hassaved the event and organ-isers are appealing to thepeople of Tipperary to comeout in huge numbers to sup-port the Hospice.

“We are now more de-pendant than ever on the sup-port of the people livingwithin a thirty mile radius ofthe site. A lot of the overseasvisitors will still come be-cause accommodation wasbooked but they will not bebringing the machinerywhich everybody wanted tosee. There will now only betwo machines cutting silagefor exhibition purposes butwe have managed to put inplace a very strong two day

No silage to cut but fundraiserstill goes ahead for vital cause

Organisers appeal for public's support

family event to compenate forwhat was lost”, said Mr.Ty n a n .

Up to four hundred peoplea month receive “face to face”visits by South Tipp Hospicenurses and those people wereuppermost in the minds ofthe determined organiserswho refused to allow adrought spoil their plans helpkeep hospice nurses on theroad .

Glowing tributes werepaid to the Vintage Clubmembers by South TipperaryH o s pic e.

“ We are very grateful, theyhad to change plans at the lastminute and kept going be-cause they know just how im-portant the funds they raiseare in helping us to keep oursix nurses, who makebetween 350 and 400 face toface visits to patients homesor in nursing homes everymonth, on the road.They arefantastic people that we ad-mire them greatly” s a idSinaida Jansen.

The committee were de-termined to ensure that theimportant fundraiser tookplace and moved swiftly toput in place an alternativeplan of entertainment, exhib-itions and events on the day.

The main feature of the

event, the silage cutting willnot now go ahead because ofthe weather. Some of the ex-hibitors who were due totravel to Moyglass from allover England and Ireland willstill come but without themachinery that would havebeen a major attraction.

“A good number of themare still going to come whichis fantastic but to raise fundsnow we are more dependenton a massive turnout frompeople living in the locality toensure this event is a success.We will still have two greatdays of entertainment thanks

to the hard work of the com-mittee who have worked tire-lessly over the last few weeksto put together a new plan”said Matty Tynan.

The Vintage Club ran avery successful Silage Extra-vaganza three years ago andthe reasons for running it

were twofold.“We did it to raise funds

for Hospice and also tostrengthen community com-radery. That communityspirit was truly tested thisyear when we realised theweather meant we had to takesuch drastic action to changedirection and ensure it wenta h ead ” said Mr Tynan.

A tractor run has nowbeen organised for Saturday28th July. The tractor run onSaturday evening which willconsist of road and farmdriving and a barbecue,music and craic on return toJoe Trehy’s farm.

The silage forthese pits would have beencut and drawn and com-pacted using horses and it is amost interesting discoverythat had been overgrown foryea r s .

All other events including

record attempts for the mostCounty Tractors and mostMF 65 tractors will go ahead.Entrants are being asked tostill bring along their vintagesilage harvesters for thestatic display.

Tipperary TD says that animals willdie and farmers will struggle ifdrought leads to another fodder crisis

Continued dry spell putting pressure on agriculture

Fianna Fáil TD for Tipperary, JackieCahill has said animals will die andfarmers will struggle if another foddercrisis follows the present drought.

He made his warninig as the dryspellcontinues despite some weekendrain which is unlikely to have any majorimpact on the dry land.

Deputy Cahill said that a new foddercrisis is brewing as a result of the warmand dry weather that the country hasbeen enjoying over the past month.

Deputy Cahill was commenting afterasking a Priority Question to the Min-ister for Agriculture in the Dáil thiswe e k .

He said that ess than two monthsafter the last crisis, farmers are nowunder severe financial, physical andmental health stress as they struggle tomanage their fodder stocks.

He said - “Animals should be outgrazing on grass, not eating fodder.Fodder stocks have been running low forthe past year.

“As grass growth slows, the ability of

farmers to replenish their fodder stocksfor the coming winter has also been di-minished.

“I am gravely concerned for farmersand their animals not only in the imme-diate period ahead, but over the comingsix to nine months.

“There literally isn’t any fodder to behad in the country, and if we get a similarwinter and spring that we had recently,animals will die and farmers wills tr ug g l e.

“I’ve asked the Minister to ensure thatsufficient supports are now put in placeto help farmers who risk another foddershortage due to the extreme hotweath e r.

“From his responses to me, I don’t feelthat the Government are treating thisissue with the urgency that it deserves.

“This needs to change or we risk dis-aster in rural Ireland.”

MOTORIST TRYING TO AVOIDCHECKPOINT HAD DRUGSSTASH ON BOARD

Gardai give chase

Eagle-eyed Tipperary gardaí spotted acar that tried to avoid a check point lastweek - and after a chase found a stash ofdrugs on board!

Gardai were performing a checkpointin Tipperary Town and pursued a driverwho turned away from the checkpoint.

When the gardaí stopped the driverthey found he had €1000 worth of drugs

in his possession and they also estab-lished that he should not even have beendriving as he was disqualified!

In a statement posted to Facebook thegardai remind people that they are per-forming checkpoints across Tipperaryeach day, and appeal to the public to workwith them to "keep Tipperary safe."

New exhibition throwslight on glove makingindustry in Tipp townand BanshaThe history of glove making inTipperary Town and Bansha isto be explored in an exhibitionthat will open at the TipperaryExcel in Tipperary Town onThursday, July 19th at 7.30pm.

The exhibition will include pho-tographs, press cuttings andmemorabilia from a time whenglove making was a key industryin thea rea .

MaryA l ic eO'C o n n o r,Curator ofthe ArtGallery inthe Tip-p e ra r yExcel saysthat it is avery im-p o rta ntrecord ofan in-du s tr ywith along his-tory in thetown and surrounding areas.

"It began with wanting to re-cognise the contribution ofwomen to society from the timeof the right to vote 100 years agoand graduated into recognisingthe contribution of both sexes toan industry that gave huge em-ployment to people from thetown and the wider community".

The first Glove Factoryopened on the Station Road inTipperary Town in 1936 with 73employees and as the industrygrew the workforce also grew sig-

nificantly, with the workforcedoubling in the space of a coupleof years.

Bansha native, Martin Quinnrecalls that both his Mam andDad (Larry and MaryBreen/Quinn) both worked in thef ac to r y.

"My Mam worked in the officethere and my Dad was a mastercutter in the cutting room. It wasthere where they first met and

fell in loveand therest asthey say ish i s to r y.Thef ac to r yclosed in1956 andmy Dadsub -s e que ntl ywent towork withJimO'C o n n o rin theG l oveFactory inB a n s h a".

Mary Blondell from TipperaryTown also recalls her fatherworking in the factory "Dadworked in the glove factory for anumber of years and then due tobad health he began to work athome. We lived in Fr. MathewStreet, a family of 5 children andour parents. The front room wasturned into a work space for Dad,where he got the leather de-livered and did the process of cut-ting out the gloves".

Helen English (nee Butler) re-calls the sound of the sewing ma-

chine in the evenings after shewent to bed, as her Mother sewedthe gloves: Helen’s motherEleanor Loftus worked in theGlove Factory initially and aftermarrying worked from home

When the factory closed in1956 the only option for many ofthe young girls and boys was toemigrate to England to find em-p l oy m e nt .

Some of those who stayedgained employment in Bansha,being brought out in a bus whileothers went to work in a newglove factory in James Street inTipperary Town.

Mary Alice says that thisbuilding is still there with muchof the equipment and gloving pat-terns and documentation stillthere. "It is like that the peoplewho worked there just got up andleft and that everything there wasleft behind, almost exactly inplace. It is remarkable to see andit is like going back in time goinginto the place".

Youthreach Cappawhite withthe great assistance of MelissaCorish have produced some won-derful murals depicting glovemaking and these have been putup in front of the windows in thebu i l d i n g .

This has attracted great in-terest from the general publicand passers-by.

Glove making was not onlyconfined to this building as therewas also a second glove makingenterprise in James Street, whilegloves were also made by peoplein their own homes.

The Glove Factory in Banshaclosed in 1976 following thesudden death of Jim O'Connor.

Judge adjourns case of manwho struck 15 year-old

Judge delays sentencing

A district court judge has delayed con-cluding the case against a Carrick-on-Suir man who assaulted a 15 year-oldyouth in the face after demanding abag of cocaine from him, for a furtherfive months.Judge Marie Keane told Carrick-on-Suir District Court's latest sitting shewasn't satisfied to impose a Com-munity Service Order on Cian Murphyof Sir John's, Carrick-on-Suir until headdressed his underlying issues.She made the comment after readinga Probation Service report on Murphy,who pleaded guilty at the court last

December to assaulting a 15 year-oldyouth at Kickham Street in Carrick-on-Suir on August 22 last year.

Murphy's solicitor Eamonn Hayessaid the Probation Service Report waspositive in terms of his client's fitness todo community service.

Judge Keane said she had read the re-port and it was clear there was still an ele-ment of lack of insight in relation to theconsequences of his actions. There wasalso an element of victim blaming, whichhe appeared to have undertaken when hespoke to the Probation Service.

"The victim was only 15 years oldwalking down the street when he was set

upon by him."I am not satisfied at this point to im-

pose a community service order until headdresses his underlying issues."

The Judge remanded him on con-tinuing bail to the November 1 sitting ofthe Carrick-on-Suir District Court anddirected that he engage with the Proba-tion Service, GP and addiction servicesin the meantime.

"You are a big man for starting thingsand finishing nothing. I want you to keepfully engaging with the Probation Ser-vice before we can consider communityservice," she concluded

Man handed cocaine over togardai during house search

Judge refuses request not to convict 22 year-old

Gardai executing a searchwarrant on a house in Car-rick-on-Suir were handed€100 worth of cocaine byone of the property's resid-ents, Carrick-on-Suir Dis-trict Court heard last week.

The cocaine belonged to22 years-old Kenny Rees from25 Killonerry Close,Ballylynch, Carrick-on-Suir,who received a €250 fine forpossessing the illegal drug athis home on September 2 lastyea r.

The court heard hehanded over the cocaine tothe gardai when they came tosearch his home.

Defence solicitor EamonnHayes told the court his clientdisputed the value of the co-caine. He maintained it wasonly of nominal value.

He pointed out that thefocus of the gardai's attentionwas on another person in thehouse, not his client, whenthey executed the search war-rant. When the gardai askedif there was any illicit drugson the property, he broughtthem to the bedroom, identi-fied the cocaine and acceptedresponsibility for it.

Mr Hayes said Rees wasworking in a cabinet making

business and was anxious notto receive a formal record. Heappealed to Judge MarieKeane to take this course inview of the high level of co-op-eration Rees gave the gardaiand the fact he hadn't any pre-vious convictions.

Judge Keane said she wasnot prepared to accede to MrHayes' request because thedrug found was "high end".

"I am obliged to convict.It's cocaine, I can't tolerate co-caine," she declared as sheimposed the fine.

The Judge fixed recognis-ance in the event of appeal.

The mound of rubble on Suir Island

T HIS story startedon a sunny day,some years ago,in a lovely vine-yard in south

west Germany. We walkedwith the farmer betweenthe rows and rows of vines.He told us that the grapeswould be ready for har-vesting within the comingfew weeks and he would bevery busy. This was a veryold wine-producing area, hesaid, the first vines havingbeen planted there in earlyRoman times.

Our relaxed walking tookus to a small area of risingground in the graveyard,where we stood for a littletime and looked around at therolling landscape.

He pointed a finger to a hillon the distant horizon.“T h at ,” he said “is Stuttgart!”There was no indication of ahigh-rise, a church steeple,an industrial chimney - only a

green hill - a small mountain -set in a peaceful countryside.

But the origin of the hillwas not peaceful. The greengrass, the wild flowers, thesmall shrubs which now grewon the slopes concealed theruins of sections of the oldcity of Stuttgart which hadbeen destroyed by bombs andtanks in World War II.

In the re-building of thecity, sections which could notbe reclaimed or restored, thetons and tons of rubble, werecarted out to the countrysideto make a new geographic fea-ture. The hill on the horizon,which we viewed from thevineyard, had now become anundedicated, silent me-morial to the horrors of war,its origin only known topeople like the elderly farmerwho had been told the storyby his father.

This story now takes a leapin imagination, in time and indistance, to the banks of theriver Suir in Clonmel in SouthTipperary and on to an islandin the river called Suir Is-land.

The western part of this is-land was once the locale ofseveral milling and industrial

enterprises, while theeastern, the down-river sec-tion, is still a wooded sylvana rea .

The island, which wasformerly privately owned,has now been taken intopublic ownership, and thelocal authority has commis-sioned and published a planfor its convenience into apublic amenity. This decisionhad been widely welcomed,especially since it will extendthe “greenway/parkland/re -creational facilities, easily ac-cessible from centre-towns tre et s .

Some features of the planhave raised some criticismamongst those who have longcampaigned for the develop-ment, and that is the extent ofthe area ear-marked for car-parking. Since the project isstill at planning stage, it ishoped, that there may besome re-think before workcommences.

Meanwhile, there is theproblem about the disposalor dispersal of the moundsand mounds of rubble on Suir

Island. This rubble is theresult of the destruction ofthe several old mills and in-dustrial buildings which onceaccommodated the great in-dustrial activity which char-acterised the town ofClonmel, notably in the late18th, early 19th century, Ire-land. The only survivingstructure from this era isHug h e s’ Mill, which has nowbeen converted into an apart-ment/commercial block.

The precise content of themounds of rubble is un-known. Does it contain as-bestos, or is it harbouring thesinister Japanese Knotweedor Hogweed, both of whichhave already invaded the is-land, and the eradication ofwhich will be necessary in anypark development?

Or might it contain somecut-stone or door-casings orfireplaces, the work ofClonmel stone-masons, andwhich certainly were a fea-ture of some of the fine oldresidential houses on the is-land? Or is every worthwhilefeature of these old buildings

now reduced to irreclaimabler ubb l e?

Only a very extensive andexpensive archaeological ex-cavation could tell.

And by the way, thiscolumnist claims some creditfor saving one small exampleof the work of the craft ofstone-masonry in the town,when, with the help of the lateJoe Flaherty of Ballingarrane,we rescued a handsomestone-cut door casing whenthe last house on the islandwas being demolished. It isnow in the yard of the CountyMu s eu m .

Back again to that hill thatwas once the city of Stuttgart!In casually talking about thisto a friend who has long beeninvolved in campaigning forthe public acquisition of SuirIsland, we both speculated:Might this be the solution tothe problem of the mounds ofr ubb l e?

Could all of this begathered into one largemound, then covered withsoil, landscaped, plantedwith grass and shrubs and

converted into a modest hil-lock, thereby creating an in-teresting feature in thedevelopment? Any such de-velopment should ideally re-flect the importance of thesite in the economic life ofClonmel, from the rape seedmill of the 16th century, downthrough the layers of indus-tries, many of which werepowered by the waters of theriver: milling, cotton, leather-manufacture and tanning,footwear, soap and starch-making, condensed milk,butter-making, creameryp ro duc e.

In arriving at a decision onthe final detailed planning ofSuir Island, it seems to manyof us, older citizens ofClonmel, that the industrialand historic significance ofthe western section of the is-land, should be memoralisedin some tangible, visible way.A mound incorporating theruins of the old industrialbuildings? A limestonemonument? A dedication?S o m eth i n g?

A communitywith a big heartT he great strength that exists within rural com-

munities is typified by the marvellous spirit shown bythe people of Moyglass over the last few weeks as they

worked tirelessly to save an important fundraiser for SouthTipperary Hospice.A civic minded Moyglass community has refused to allowthe worst drought to hit the country for over forty years towreck their plans to raise crucial funds for the Hospice.

Cancellation of a Silage Extravaganza event, in the planningfor the last eight months, was not an option for the com-mu n i ty.

Despite the challenging conditions, they bravely decided toproceed with the huge two day event and worked tirelessly tochange their plans to ensure the Hospice and the families theyserve would not suffer.

The event organisers did not want to let those families downand they have now issued an appeal to the public to support theevent which takes place on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29thJu l y.

Their appeal deserves to be heard after the magnificent ef-fort put in to save the event and while the main attraction hasbeen lost because of the drought, the committee has put inplace an attractive two day family event.

Deserved tributes were paid to the organisers this week bythe South Tipperary Hospice whose nurses make between 350to 400 'face to face' visits to homes and nursing homes a monthin this area.

All those families and families of those in need of such ser-vices in the future are indebted to people throughout Tip-perary who continue to raise funds every year to keep SouthTipp Hospice on the road.

Hear, Here!In 2015 John Ryan and Dave Gleeson established

Blackberry Hearing in Two Mile House, a small village outside Naas in Kildare.

The two were curious about the high cost of hearing aids and hearing solutions. They were also curious that, despite amazing and advancing hearing aid technology, many people had less than positive views about hearing aids.Despite what appeared to be the obvious advantages to wearing modern hearing aids for those with hearing loss, many where reluctant to try them out.With long and diverse business careers behind them, Dave and John started to research why this was so. After all, anyone who now had a problem with eyesight bought glasses or had laser surgery. Their research into this question led them to start Blackberry Hearing and they focussed on building the company without borrowing any practices from the existing industry for the following reasons. Customers found hearing aids to be expensive, indicative of aging and thought that hearing aidsmay not be as successful as they would like them to be. Dave and John established the following* Prices were shockingly high* People were unaware of what they were buying and

how much it might cost* There was a general lack of clarity on pricing,

models and grant eligibility.* People were unaware of how discreet and effective

modern hearing aids had become

In response Blackberry Hearing set out to provide hearing aids on the following basisQuality - World leading brand and modelsPrices - Significantly reduced pricesTransparency – Informing prospective customers of their options beforehandSimplicity – Making the process of testing and purchasing as simple as possibleProfessionalism – Only employing the best audiologists (BSc minimum, 4 years)Customer Care – A company ethos where no stone is left unturned to provide the best possible solution and follow up careOver three years later and now with thousands of customers, Blackberry Hearing continues to grow. The company is growing because it delivers on its promise - Life changing technology, at great prices, to assist people to hear fully, to participate in everyday life with their children, grandchildren, playmusic in a band, attendchurch or socialise in the local pub.How does Blackberry Hearing know if they have achieved their objectives? By listening to the company’s customers. Hundreds of validated customer testimonials are left on Facebook alone. Most of these validated testimonials can be viewed on www.blackberryhearing.com/testimonials.The company now holds nearly 70 clinics from Letterkenny to Waterford, from Galway to Dublin and everywhere in between. If you or a loved one are affected by hearing loss call us on 01 6978470 for a chat, to find out about price and the grant or to book a Free consultation at a clinic near you. There is no reason to be left out of life’s conversations and sounds anymore!

Carrick-on-Suir United FC ismarking 50 proud years ofachievement on the playingfield and in the communityand a competition to selectits top team of players overthe past half century is oneof the ways it's celebrating.And the Club is alsomarking the special an-niversary with further de-velopment of its playinggrounds, Tom Drohan Park,on the Coolnamuck Road in-cluding the construction ofa new covered spectatorstand and development of athird grass pitch.

The Club has formed acommittee to select the topCarrick United team of of thepast half century. Pubs andbusinesses around Carrick-on-Suir are being invited tosubmit their top CarrickUnited squad over the past 50years and the entry closest tothat chosen by the committeewill win the competition.

"There is great anticipa-tion and huge interest in theteam of the past 50 years andit will, no doubt, cause a lot ofcontroversy," said ClubChairman PJ Torpey.

Current and past playersselected for the CarrickUnited team of best playerswill be announced and hon-oured at the Club's 50th an-niversary dinner dance in theCarraig Hotel in September 8.Members of the 2008 FAI Ju-nior Cup winning team willalso be honoured at the so-cial.

Carrick United kicked offits 50th anniversary onFriday, June 22 with a Massfor deceased members atTom Drohan Park.

The ceremony celebratedby Carrickbeg & Windgap PPFr Tom Flynn was attended byabout 70 members, relatives

and friends of deceasedmembers on a beautifulsummer evening.

In his homily Father Flynnsaid the people of Carrick-on-Suir owed Carrick Utd. somuch for what the Club hasdone for them over the years.He recalled when taking upan appointment one time, theoutgoing priest advised himto leave the parish in a betterplace when it's time for you toleave. "The people involved inCarrick United have certainlydone that over the past 50years," he declared.

Since its humble begin-nings in the late 1960s, CarrickUnited has grown to becomeone of the biggest soccer clubsin the region boasting an es-timated 900 members in-cluding up to 600 schoolboysand girls from Carrick. TheClub ran a summer camp forits underage members thismonth and will host a player ofthe year awards ceremony andbarbecue for them on August3.

The Club is run by a dedic-ated team of volunteers di-vided into committeescovering management, fun-draising, playing teams andthe grounds development. Inthe past week the Club wasawarded the FAI Club Markfor its high standard of gov-ernance, management andadministration. It is only thesecond Waterford Juniorclub to receive this award,which comes 10 months afterreceiving a special meritaward at the FAI Club of theyear awards.

The hard work put in bythe Club's volunteers isreaping dividends on theplaying field and off the field.In the past year, the Club'sPremier team won the Water-ford & District League for the12th time in 20 years, the FirstDivision team won the

Sheridan Cup and reachedthe quarter-final of the Mun-ster Junior Cup and severalschoolboys teams reachedcup finals.

As Carrick United's teamstake a break before the newseason starts in the autumn,work is continuing to pro-gress on the latest clubgrounds project.

Tipperary Co. Councilgranted final planning per-mission at the end of June forthe new spectator stand for

the Club's main pitch that willaccommodate about 220people. Permission was alsogranted for the new pitch.Both developments will costan estimated €70,000. Devel-opment Committee Treas-urer Richard Friend said theClub is in the closing stages ofbuying two acres of land fromthe Co. Council on the riverside of Tom Drohan Park forthis pitch.

The Club hopes to have thespectator stand in place by

the end of September withthe new pitch ready nextyea r.

The Club's also put a lot ofwork into nurturing playerswell being. It has promotedanti-drug and alcohol abusepolicies for the past 15 yearsand last year launched its"United Against Suicide"mental health awarenesscampaign that has includedbanners, signs, informationstands, mental health aware-ness talks and courses. The

jerseys of all the Club's teamsdisplay the "United AgainstSuicide" slogan and PietaHouse Centre logo.

PJ Torpey said CarrickUnited has come a long way in50 years and they are veryproud of what has beenachieved. "It's a completelydifferent club now to when itwas founded. In 1968 theynever imagined what theClub could achieve. They justwanted to play a game of soc-c c e r."

1966 WORLD CUP INSPIRED THECLUBS FORMATION

From humble beginnings to winning FAI Junior Cup

The 1966 World Cup was theinspiration for the creationof Carrick-on-Suir UnitedFC .Founding member RichardRussell had a vision to re-

kindle interest in soccer inCarrick-on-Suir after thisWorld Cup was watched ontelevision in many Irishhomes, and he assembled agroup of fellow soccer en-thusiasts at Carrick-on-SuirTown Hall to set up a newc lub.

The fledgling CarrickUnited FC organised friendlygames in 1967 and 1968 and inJune 1968 it gained entry tothe Waterford & District Ju-nior League.

Since 1968, the Club'sbiggest success has been win-ning the FAI Junior Cup in2008. The Club's Premierteam also won the MunsterSenior Cup in 2010/11 andthree Munster Junior Cuptitles between 2003 and 2015.The team also won many Wa-terford & District Leaguetitles including an impressive12 titles in the past 20 years.

Carrick United hadn't apermanent playing groundsin the town for the first threedecades of its existence. Afterseveral years of fundraising,the Club purchased a 6.5acres site at Coolnamuck in1997 for its playing grounds,named after Tom Drohan, theclub member who instigatedthe project.RAISED €1.5 MILLION

Over the past 20 years, theClub has raised and investedmore than €1.5m on devel-oping Tom Drohan Park intoone of the best soccer club fa-cilities in the region.

Club Development Com-mitttee Treasurer RichardFriend, who is involved inCarrick Utd. since 1975, saidthe people of Carrick-on-Suirand surrounding areas havecontributed over €3 0 0,0 0 0through fund raising whilethe Club has also received

more than €400,000 insports capital grants andlocal authority grants.

"During my time in theClub, I have seen it go fromstruggling to field teams towinning local, provincial andnational titles," he told TheNationalist. "And I have seenit go from a nomadic exist-ence moving from rentedpitch to rented pitch to thedevelopment of a state-of-theart complex at Tom DrohanPa rk ."

"We have coached school-boys to become Irish interna-tionals at schoolboy, youth,junior and senior level. Andtwo of our player have pickedup FAI player of the yearawa rd s ."

He paid tribute to theClub's founders and those vo-lunteers who worked so hardover the past 50 years to bringit to where it is today.

CASHEL NEWSKitchen Caddies tohelp reduce FoodWaste in CashelA pilot project to addressthe issue of Food Waste isbeing rolled out in Cashel aspart of the Zero WasteCashel Project.The Waste CharacterisationStudy carried out last yearhighlighted the fact thatover 22% of the weight ofgeneral waste bins in Cashelwas food waste.

Anecdotal evidence sug-gests that people are justscraping dinner scraps etc.into the general waste binrather than into the BrownBin for organic waste. Thedistribution of Kitchen Cad-

dies to a number of house-holds is being carried out toensure that food waste goesinto the correct bin ie. thebrown bin.

Food waste collected viathe brown bin is broughtaway to be turned into com-post which in turn helps reju-venate the soil which is usedfor growing plants, veget-ables etc.

When food waste goes intothe wrong bin it ends upbeing sent to landfill sites andgenerates methane gas whichin turn contributes to climatec h a n ge.

Spafield Crescent in

Cashel was chosen for thepilot project to receive freekitchen caddies as it has agood number of householdson which the success of theproject can be measured.Local councillor, MartinBrowne, who is also on theZero Waste Cashel SteeringCommittee also lives in theestate and has been of greatassistance in calling to house-holds helping to explain thebenefits of using kitchen cad-d ie s .

Cllr Martin Browne askedhow many applications arethere to take estates in chargein the Cashel Tipperary area.Some 21 applications arebeing processed: 14 of theseare being ‘moved along’ wh i l eseven estates face delays dueto developer-led infrastruc-ture issues.

Cllr Denis Leahy said IrishWater “have no face on theg rou n d ” and “they have tohave an office in the town” in -stead of “bills coming in andinterest mounting on thepeople in need.” There needsto be “face to face” m e et i n g sconcerning leaks in theCashel Tipperary area, in-

sisted Cllr Leahy.“Irish Water are hiding be-

hind the phone. It’s not goodenough if you want to ap-proach them. When will theycome out of hiding and facethe public? They should havean office in this buildingh e re.”

Cllr John Crosse said “i t’svery difficult for us as publicre p re s e ntat ive s” in terms ofdealing with delays to takingestates in charge by thec ou n c i l .

Cllr Roger Kennedy saidthe seven estates beingdelayed, or one third of thetotal, are being held up due tonegotiations between IrishWater and the Department.“Why do people have to sufferwhile ink is put on paper? Id o n’t think there’s any ur-gency on behalf of Irish Waterto co-operate with anybody.We know they are notlistening to the public. It ap-pears they don’t even want to

listen to the Department.People are at their wits’ e n d .”The developer provided in-frastructure is “mostly rune f fe c t ive l y.” Cllr Kennedycalled on Irish Water to “ge tup off their chairs and solvethis problem. It’s not goodenough that people aretreated in this slipshodfashion. Irish Water just can’tagree because it was not putin place by a public authority.I t’s just not good enough. Ihope this is solved before theWinter comes.”

Director of Services DenisHolland said it was importantto conserve water as much aspossible now that Tipperaryis “entering into a long periodof dry weather.”

There was no point in at-tending workshops if therewas no improvement in IrishWater, added Cllr Kennedy.“I t’s at organisation, manage-ment level, that problemsa r i s e.”

A special attendance award was presented to Anna Ryan, a Sixth Class pupil in St. John the Baptist Girls' Schoolin Cashel, in recognition of her perfect attendance record over eight years in primary school. Anna did not missa single day from Junior Infants to Sixth Class. Anna is pictured receiving her award from school principal Mrs.Mary Andrews accompanied by her proud parents, Ray and Pauline.

CAHIR NEWSMoloney questionsCFRAM report onCahir flooding

Councillor Andy Moloney hasasked the OPW (Office ofPublic Works) and CFRAM(Catchment Flood Risk As-sessment & Management tohave another rethink onflood works in Cahir.At the most recent meetingof the Tipperary CountyCouncil, Moloney welcomedthe presentation put to themeeting but asked if the

works to be carried out onthe back weir were reallyn e c e s s a r y.

Moloney claimed thatmoney had been secured lastyear to complete works on theMill Race and that money isstill there to complete theworks this coming yearwithin the season. The InlandFisheries are currentlyworking on the plans to com-plete this project.

Moloney said “Historic -ally, the river was cleanedwhen the Mill was opera-tional and the culverts arenow blocked and growth onthe left side of the main weir

has slowed the waterflow.This has pushed largervolumes along the Mill Race.

The removal of silt fromthe river on the Mall side andespecially in front of the Paro-chial Hall as well as the two is-lands on the main bridgewould add significantly towater flow and these worksshould be completed first be-fore any tampering of theweir should start.”

While the local councillorstood to be corrected on theextensive works which arepart of a 10 year plan, he askedfor immediate action on theremoval of silt.

Following the previousweekend where we had thehalf marathon, it was sur-prising to see the numbersgrow mid week at a time whenthey were expected to drop.I t’s great to see some backafter their holidays andothers who had taken a breakback on the pavements.

Some members arestarting a marathon plan andwe will probably see less ofthem for a while as they stickto specific programmes butanyone wanting to do the Tip-perary Ladies Mini Marathonon 30th September has 10weeks to prepare. This shouldbe a goal for you and we stillhave a lot of summer races toattend to help progress in fit-ness and stamina.

Anyone that was on abreak will come back fasterthan others and need to digout the runners and we willsee you midweek. We will behaving our own 5km fun-draiser towards the end of thesummer as this is an im-portant fun event towardsour insurance costs.

FETHARD NEWSFethard Ballroom - Continuing the workof improving facilities at popular venueFethard Ballroom, originallythe Capitol Cinema whichfirst opened in January,1946, was converted to aballroom in 1967 when ac-quired by a group of localbusiness people know as,‘Fethard Enterprises’,headed by Paddy O’Flynn,and officially opened inDecember of the same yearas the ‘Capitol Ballroom’.

Since then it has seenmany changes but has alwaysretained its Ballroom status –whatever about the ‘Ro -m a n c e’.

In 1972, Wexford businessman Danny Doyle purchasedthe hall, renamed it as ‘TheCountry Club’, and addedFethard to his list of 14 otherhugely successful dance hallsrun by him in Ireland at thatt i m e.COMMUNITY COUNCILPURCHASE BALLROOM

As the golden ballroomdancing years ebbed, DannyDoyle closed the Fethard ball-room in 1988 and put it up forsale. The ballroom was leftderelict for some years beforecommunity action ensured itwould survive as one of thefew remaining ‘Ballrooms ofR o m a n c e’ left in Ireland. In1992, after much haggling,the Ballroom was purchasedby Fethard & Killusty Com-munity Council and, with atremendous community ef-fort, was re-opened as a com-munity facility on March 17,1993.

Today, 25 years later, theBallroom has continued toflourish as a fantastic venuefor social dancing. It is stillrun by a changing but dedic-ated group of community vo-lunteers that maintain thishugely beneficial community

asset used continuously for avariety of functions.EVERY SUNDAY NIGHT

Every Sunday night, socialdancing attracts visitors fromall over the South-East tocome along and dance on thespacious dance floor andlisten to some of the ever-popular dance bands from farand near.

As the love of countrymusic and social dancingcontinues to grow, the com-mittee have responded withrefurbishing the hall to thehighest standards while re-taining a friendly and socialenvironment that ‘ro m a n c e’at all ages can flourish.

Peer to peer farmsafety initiativelaunched by IFA

Farm Safety Week 2018

Monday marked the start ofthe sixth annual Farm SafetyWeek UK & Ireland, an initi-ative led by the IFA in Ire-land, aiming to reduce thenumber of accidents onfarms and bring about achange in culture thatmakes unsafe practices so-cially unacceptable.The message for this year’scampaign is: Your Health.Your Safety. Your Choice.

Farm Safety Week is sup-ported by a number of agen-cies, including the Health andSafety Authority (HSA) andFarm Safety Partnership Ad-visory Committee.

This year the campaign istaking a slightly different ap-proach. Rather than focusingon agriculture’s poor safetyrecord and stories of thingsgoing wrong, Farm SafetyWeek 2018 will start talkingabout when things go right,sharing good practice anddemonstrating what ‘go o d ’looks like.

Farming continues to haveone of the poorest safety re-cords of any sector in Ireland,last year 24 people lost theirlives in farm accidents and 11people have lost their lives sofar in 2018.

Reacting to these figures,Joe Healy, IFA President said:“The statistics are stark butstatistics don’t tell the wholestory – they don’t tell youabout the devastating impacta farm fatality has on familiesand communities; they don’ttell you the impact a farm ac-cident can have on the rest ofyour life, on your ability torun the farm.

“Understanding the riskson and around a farm opera-tion makes it easier to avoiddangers, and makes acci-dents less likely. However, alltoo often farmers do not re-cognise the risks on theirfarms, which makes it diffi-cult to manage the problem.Sometimes, all that is neededis a fresh pair of eyes to helpidentify risks and to enablec h a n ge.

NEW IFA FARM SAFETYINITIATIVE & HEALTH ANDSAFETY APPOINTMENT

“That is why this year theIFA is appointing a FarmHealth and Safety Executiveto implement a pilot farmer-to-farmer peer learning initi-ative at branch level, to advisefarmers about potential risksand educate them to becomesafety ambassadors withintheir communities. Thefarmers who get involved inthe initiative will help tomentor each other by, for ex-ample, walking each other’sfarms to identify potentialrisks and visualise how safetyworks in a real life situation.

“This kind of informallearning has been shown tobe effective because thepeople involved have the po-tential to adapt the pro-gramme to meet their needsand develop their own ap-proaches to improve safetyon the farm.

William Shortall has beenappointed as IFA Health andSafety Executive to lead farmsafety promotion and thenew peer-to-peer initiative.

William has worked as aRegional Development Of-ficer with IFA since 2007. Heholds a Diploma in Agricul-tural Engineering and has re-cently completed a HigherDiploma in Safety, Health andWelfare at Work.

Sharon McGuinness,Chief Executive of the Healthand Safety Authority said:“Farming is still the mostdangerous sector in which towork and although aware-ness of the issues is high,we’re not seeing this trans-late into a sustained reduc-tion in fatalities. Farmersmust take responsibility toprioritise safety, especially

when working with tractorsand machinery which are thebiggest cause of fatal acci-dents. Farmers should keepall machinery in goodworking order and have thenecessary competence andexperience to operate.”

Michael Creed, Ministerfor Agriculture said “T h e reare a lot of risks in farmingbut farming doesn’t have tobe a dangerous occupation ifyou are aware of the risks. Wehave definitely seen an in-creased awareness of farmsafety, thanks to initiativeslike Farm Safety Week, andnow we need to build thisawareness into action and be-havioural change.”

Minister for Trade, Em-ployment, Business, EU Di-gital Single Market and DataProtection, Pat Breen haswelcomed Farm Safety Week2018 and the opportunity itpresents to highlight the on-going need for greater atten-tion to safety in farming.

In addition, the Ministerwelcomed the inclusion of amental health element to thecampaign theme stating that“While farmers are used tocaring for, and nurturingtheir land and their animalsthey can at the same time neg-lect their own health.”

Gerry Boyle, DirectorTeagasc said, “Tea ga s cstrongly supports the UK andIreland Farm Safety Week.This year’s theme, YourHealth. Your Safety. YourChoice, reflects the import-ance of farm health and safetyand the fact that practical en-gagement of farmers’ is es-sential for progress. Teagascis supporting a new a four-year PhD Walsh Fellowshipon farmer cardiovascularhealth improvement in asso-ciation with IT Carlow Centrefor Men’s Health, Irish HeartFoundation and the UCD Col-lege of Health and Agricul-tural Sciences.”

ICMSA met Fianna Fail politicians on Thursday, July 12, in Leinster House to discuss the currently challengingenvironment in the farming and wider agri-food sector: Jackie Cahill TD, Bobby Aylward TD, Pat McCormackPresident of ICMSA, Charlie McConalogue TD, Senator Paul Daly, John Enright, General Secretary ICMSA.

Report shows supermarkets’ ‘ow nl ab e l ’ undercutting branded milk

I C M SA

Commenting on the just-published National Milk Re-port, ICMSA President PatMcCormack reflected thatthe market share of the fivemajor retailers is a perfectillustration of the power ofretailers over of farm fam-i l ie s .

“The five largest multiplegroupings had an 89% shareof the Irish grocery market in2017, compare to 65% in 2002.This demonstrates the in-creasing power these re-

tailers have and there’s nosign of it reversing.

“Interestingly, in the freshmilk market, 62% of milksales in retail outlets weresold as ‘own label’ ac c o rd i n gto the report and these ownlabel sales in 2 litre packswere retailed at an averagediscount of 27% on pro-c e s s o r s’ b ra n d s .

“We can see here - yetagain - the problems that in-evitably occur in the race-to-the-bottom when milk is used

as a “loss leader” to attractcustomers into the shop. Theretailers are now doing to theprocessors what the retailershave been doing to thefarmers for decades.

“ICMSA is not calling fordramatic increases in milkprices but we do support afairer division of the retailmilk price that adequately re-wards the person who did byfar the most to get theproduct to consumer stage -the farmer”, concluded Mr.M c C o r m ac k .

He knew that you were suffering, He knewyou were in pain. He knew that you wouldnever get well on earth again. He saw theroad was getting rough and the hills were hardto climb, so He closed your weary eyelids andwhispered 'Peace be thine'.

It broke our heart to lose you, but you didn'tgo alone, for part of us went with you, the dayGod called you home.

Sadly missed always - Mam, Dad, brother,sisters, nieces and nephews xx

My lovely son James, you brought such love,joy and laughter to my life. But since you wentto Heaven my life is full of pain, sadness andloneliness.

- your heartbroken Mam (The Mother)

A candle to remember, may it burn ever so bright

As we look to the heavens on this very night.

Beyond the stars, our dear loved ones soars

Embraced by their Savior on heaven’s shores.

As the angels protect themand sing their sweet name

We honor their life with the glow of this flame.

So we light this candle for our loved ones tonight

As a symbol of our love and their eternal life.

Rest in Peace

S PO RT GOLFC LO N M E LM e n’s ResultsClonmel Junior Cup Team Reach Mun-ster Semi - FinalThey ’re already saying that there’s aMunster Pennant in this Junior CupTeam and while nobody wants to countchickens it would be a very good teamthat will beat them.They have an abundance of talent butsometimes talent is not enough if youd o n’t have the guts and the desire towin and that’s what we saw comingthrough from this team on Thursdayevening last in Carrick-on-Suir againsta gallant Gold Coast side.After nine holes of play Clonmel wereonly up in one match and that was BillyHewitt, who was leading from the frontand really playing a Captain’s role.Young Jack Alton really came upagainst an even younger but very tal-ented opponent who blitzed Jack onthe first four holes and led by threebut Jack just stuck with the game heknows best and after a see saw matchin which the lead changed hands sev-eral times, when they stood on the 17thtee Jack was one up. Maybe it wasnerves but the younger player wentout of bounds on the hole whichhanded Jack the match which was ac-tually the match that gave Clonmel anunassailable lead, winning by threematches to one with the final matchcalled in.But the other three matches were dingdong battles as well where PeterGaffney, Denis Conway Junior andBrian McLean all worked extremelyhard trying to get back on terms towear down very wiling opponents.Peter Gaffney’s match came to the 17thwith Peter one up after a tremendousmatch and when his opponent failed toget up and down for par this pairshook hands for a 2 and 1 win forPeter. Brian McLean gave it everythingand played extremely well and withDenis Conway, the anchor-man on theteam, not needing to finish, the teamrightly earned their place in the Mun-ster semi-final to be played in Thurleson Saturday 18th August (to be con-f i r m ed ) .In case he’s forgotten great praisemust to go to the Team Manager, KeithNorris whose nerves just about heldout until the last ball was struck inClonmel’s favour.

Tipperary were secondbest to Offaly in the earlystages of Saturday's game atThe Ragg.

The result was tough onOffaly as they controlled thegame in the second halfthanks to Sarah Harding,Debbie Flynn, MichaelaMorkan and player of thematch Róisín Egan.

However Tipp were excel-lent in the opening period,Cáit Devane hitting fivepoints, but they still trailed by2-3 to 0-8 at half time afterSiobhán Flannery and SarahHarding found the net for Of-f a l y.

Tipp captain OrlaO’Dwyer – playing her secondfull match of the day afterlining out for the county foot-

ballers earlier in their defeatby Kerry– equalised with asublime score but Offaly werethree in front entering addi-tional time and apparently ontheir way to victory.

The game turned on twoDevane frees drilled into thesquare from 30 metres. Thefirst was deflected over thebar to cut the deficit to two.

The second was blocked,only for O’Brien to strike firsttime and rattle the net, to thedelight of the home sup-porters and desperation ofthe visitors.

Tipp fail to build on bright start as Kerry win by sixTG4 All Ireland Senior Ladies Football Championship

A battling display from Tip-perary just came up shortagainst Kerry in the TG4 AllIreland Senior Champion-ship at Nenagh on Saturday.

In a three team group withtwo to qualify, Tipperary nowneed to beat Donegal this Sat-urday in Castlerea.

And the form shownagainst Kerry suggests thatthey will provide a stern testfor the Ulster side.

Now playing senior foot-ball, Tipp have shown that

they are a match for the bestand while Kerry were thestronger team on Saturday,they were seriously troubledby the home side at times.

It was a busy afternoonf ordual star Orla O'Dywer whofollowing the defeat inNenagh had to rusn to TheRagg to tog out for the countycamogie team against Offalyin the All Ireland series.

It was a hectic schedule forthe Boherlahan player andone that annoyed footballboss Shane Ronayne,blaming the Kerry CountyBoard for having the gamemoved from Sunday to Sat-

urday to avoid a clash with thesenior footallers Super 8sclash on Sunday.

A great start in Nenaghsuggested that Tipp couldbring off a major shock.

Two points from AislingMoloney and one from Cahirteam mate Aisling McCarthy,plus a stunning goal from an-other Cahir player, RoisinHoward, saw Tipp lead 1-3 to0-4. The goal was a brilliantlyworked team effort, thelength of the pitch before fin-ished by Howard.

But Tipperary couldn'tbuilt on that early mo-mentum and saw Kerry take

over for the rest of the half,scoring 2-5 without reply tolead 2-9 to 1-3 at the break.

But as in the first, Tip-perary enjoyed a sparklingstart to the second half, with1-1 from Moloney, the goal awonderful effort from aplayer who would grace anyteam in the country, and twopoints from McCarthy.

Kerry hit back with a pointbut the Premier girls had nownarrowed the gap to four, 2-10to 2-6.

But they struggled to pushon, allowing Kerry back in fora goal of their own, and des-pite a strong finish, including

two points from GillianO'Brien, they just couldn'treel the Kingdom in.

But without the influen-tial Jennifer Grant, it was anencouraging display fromTipperary as they build ontheir All Ireland interme-diate success and league pro-motion in recent years andare not afraid to mix it withthe big teams.

Undaunted, Ballingarryhit back with a goal of theirown in the next minute. Atthis time the Kickhams fullback line looked vulnerableand Ballingarry should havetaken the lead, but a numberof frees went wide.

On seventeen minutesMikey O’Shea added a pointto his earlier goal. Eanna Ryan(M) and Conor Vaughan (B)exchanged points from frees.Mikey O’Shea pointed againand a Ballingarry miss from afree saw the half end Mulli-

nahone had use of the breezeand they began to avail of it.Eanna Ryan kicked a finepoint from a 45. He was to re-peat the feat later in the halfand later still he was to crash

a penalty to the net to end thegame as a contest. Hisshooting from placed ballswas certainly top class.

Conor Vaughan answeredRya n’s first point from a 45but Matthew Thompson thenpointed for Mullinahonefrom long distance. MartinKehoe and Conor Phelanadded points to make thescore Mullinahone 1-10,Ballingarry 1-4.

Strong Clonoultyside retain the cup

Ber tie’s Bar Dundrum Crosco Cup Final

Clonoulty Rossmore re-gained the Berties Bar Dun-drum, Crosco Cup for thefirst time since 2009, whenthey overcame Cashel KingCormacs in the final in Dun-drum on Wednesday eveningof last week.Clonoulty signalled their in-tent before the start whenmanager John Devane an-nounced a team which con-tained eleven of the playerswho had retained the WestSenior championship backin April.

This game was a very closecontest for the openingtwenty minutes, a periodwhere Cashel took the gameto their opponents, but way-ward shooting both fromopen play and placed ballsmeant that they were unableto convert their possessioninto scores. So much wasC l o n ou l ty ’s strength on thenight that four of the five

second half substitutes hadpreviously played in Westsenior finals and countychampionship games.

Clonoulty got off to adream start when CathalBourke pointed in theopening minute. Paddy Hen-nessy then got the game’sfirst goal when he scoredfrom close in, giving MichaelO’Meara no chance in theCashel goal.

Paddy Fahy got Cashel offthe mark after three minutesbefore Paul Hayes, from playand Cathal Bourke from afree, stretched Clonoulty’slead out to five points. Cashelcame more into the game andthree unanswered pointsfrom Eoghan Connolly,Mickey Coleman and SimonDelaney reduced this leaddown to two.

Dillon Quirke hit two longrange points, either side of anEoghan Connolly pointedfree, before Michael Ryan(Winnie) got off the markafter fifteen minutes. EoghanConnolly replied with twopoints but a Paul Hayes effortleft a goal between the sideswith eight minutes re-

maining in the half. This re-maining period before halftime proved to be Cashel’s un-doing as Clonoulty got into arhythm and played some bril-liant hurling. First up wasJohn O’Neill with a rocket of agoal to the top corner. Pointsfollowed from Conor Ham-mersley, Enda Heffernan andCathal Bourke, Cashel repliedwith points from MickeyColeman and Connolly beforea long range effort fromCathal Bourke ended up inthe Cashel net to leave thehalf time score, ClonoultyRossmore 3.11, Cashel KingCormacs 0.9.

Clonoulty piled on thepressure after the break andadded points from all anglesand distances from AaronRyan (Rody), John O’Neill andDillon Quirke in the openingfive minutes. Simon Delaneyreplied with a Cashel pointbut further points from PaulHayes, John O’Keeffe, CathalBourke and Michael Ryan(Winnie) had Clonoulty in acommanding lead with fif-teen minutes remaining. Thefinal quarter was evenlymatched but Cashel were re-

lying too much on EoghanConnolly to find the target.Connolly hit one goal and fivepoints in that closing quarterbut further points from Clon-oulty had them well ahead atthe final whistle.

West JFC 'A'

Arravale Rovers and CashelKing Cormacs served up afine open game in this AIBTipperary West Junior AFootball championship gamein Dundrum on Saturdayeve n i n g .With Arravale already quali-fied for the semi-final andCashel unable to qualify,this “dead rubber” wa shugely entertaining and pro-duced some fine footballfrom both sides.

Indeed had Cashel beenable to convert their posses-sion into scores, the outcomemay have been different.

This game gave Arravale achance to give game time totheir panel and from thispoint of view was successful.

Cashel started with pointsfrom Brendan Guckian andShane Luby before StephenQuinn had the side’s levelafter ten minutes.

The football was very openand moved from end to end,but Cashel were finding it dif-ficult to break down the Arra-vale defence. Points fromConor Leahy and CiaranLowry (2) had them in front atthe break 0.5 to 0.2.

Cashel started the secondhalf in a flurry and Pat Mul-doon kicked two points in asmany minutes to put the min-imum between the sides.

Stephen Quinn andCiaran Lowry eased Arravaleout to three. A goal fromeither side within a minute atthe three quarter hour markbrought the game to life.

First up was Jack Lowryfor Arravale when he goaledat the railway end followinggood work from StephenQuinn.

From the kick out Cashelmoved the ball up field andBrendan Guckian was onhand to finish to the net.Guckian had two more pointsfor Cashel but Mikey O’D w ye rand James Hogan had thefinal say as Arravale held outfor a four point victory.

Shane Hennessy Agri-Advisor West Junior B Football Championship

Clonoulty Rossmore made ittwo wins from two outingsin the Shane Hennessy AgriAdvisor West Junior B Foot-ball championship whenthey overcame the chal-lenge of Rockwell Rovers atCashel on Friday evening oflast week.From the outset, Clonoultydictated the pace of thegame and on an evening ofenergy sapping temperat-ures, their fitness provedvital, especially in theclosing stages.

Points from Ger Mocklerand Nathan Slattery in theopening seven minutes laidthe foundation for this vic-to r y.

Kevin Kearney got Rock-well of the mark after eightminutes, but it was Clon-oulty/R who kicked the nextfour scores. Nathan Slattery,who was causing all sorts ofproblems to the Rockwell de-fence, kicked a great point be-fore setting up Stevie Quinnfor a similar score.

Ger Mocker pointed hissecond free of the night andwhen Paddy Ryan cut throughthe Rockwell rear-guard,Clonoulty went six up. ConorWalsh cut the deficit from aplaced ball, but it was Clon-oulty/R who finished thestronger and further pointsfrom Slattery and Mocklersaw them go in at the breakleading by 0.9 to 0.2.

Ger Mockler continuedwhere he left off after thebreak, when he kicked theopening score of the secondhalf. Rockwell had moved

Kevin Hally up to attack andhe got on the end of a goodmove to fist to the Clon-oulty/R net for the openinggoal of the game.

A converted Conor Walshfree cut the lead to five pointsbut this was as close as Rock-well would get on the night.Mockler and Slattery con-tinued to stretch the Rock-well defence and they addedthe points to the scoreboard.

Will Ryan and DeclanO’Dwyer stretched Clon-ou l ty ’s lead before JohnO’Ke e f fe’s penetrating runthrough the middle, releasedAidan Loughman, to crash tothe net with seven minutesremaining. Dermot O’Br ie nand Kevin Moloney kickedtwo late points for Rockwellbut on the day Clonoulty/Rwere the better team and fin-ished worthy winners.

Padraig Carew handled

well in the goal for Clonoulty.Their back line as a unit

was solid, with Brian Ryan(Cooper) making up fieldruns and linking well withthe attack.

It was Clonoulty’s attackwho won the day, as alreadystated Ger Mockler andNathan Slattery kicked somewonderful points, while WillRyan, Paul Hayes and JamesRyan (Winnie) also contrib-ute d .

Rockwell, who wereplaying their second game ofthe week, never gave up.Stephen Mason, Jack Mo-loney and Kevin Hally triedhard to curb the Clonoulty at-tack. Kevin Moloney andStephen Quirke held theirown at midfield, while ConorWalsh and Kevin Kearneywere always threatening inattac k .

Eire Og Annacarty Donohillclaimed a first ever MariaMarron Palmers Hill StudWest Junior B HurlingLeague title when they over-came the challenge of Cap-pawhite on Tuesday eveningof last week in Cashel.John Quinn’s second halfgoal put daylight betweenthe sides and while DeanO’Dwyer goaled for Cap-pawhite at the very end, EireOg had done enough to se-cure victory.

Cappawhite were forcedinto an early change with PatO’Neill not starting at fullback. This meant that TimMeagher moved from full for-ward to full back with DavyOrr coming into the full for-ward line.

Cappawhite opened up anearly advantage leading 0-3 to0-1 after three minutes.James Bradshaw openedtheir account and this was fol-lowed by a Fionn Bradypointed free.

Conor Bradshaw repliedwith a pointed free for Cap-pawhite but Davy Orr, a late

introduction to the Cap-pawhite starting line, re-stored their two pointadva nta ge.

Eire Og soon found thetarget and added points fromPaul Downy and Conor Brad-shaw all from play. Bothteams were evenly match atthis stage and Colm O’D w ye rlevelled the game. ConorBradshaw pointed andEoghan Ryan responded to tieup the game at 0-5 apiece.

Eire Og were coming farmore into the game andwould dominate the score-board for the second quarter.Pat Aherne was a dominantfigure at centre back as wasDan Hogan at wing back.

The Eire Og defence gavevery little space to the Cap-pawhite forwards. Up frontthe half forwards of PaulDevlin and Paul Downey werecausing serious problems.

John Quinn, Conor Brad-shaw and Paul Downey allpointed in a three minutespell and two minutes laterthere lead was out to fourpoints when Willie O’Nei l lopened his account. Eire Ogcould have been furtherahead but for some missedopportunities. Fionn Bradypointed from a free just be-fore the half time whistle.Eire Og ahead 0-9 to 0-6 at the

b rea k .Cappawhite started the

second half more lively withPaddy Julian as he did in thefirst half taking the challengeto Eire Og. Davy Orr cut thegap to two but they failed totake advantage of further op-portunities as they seem to gofor goal when points wouldhave done.

Conor Bradshaw openedEire Og’s account for thesecond half with a pointedfree. Scores were slow incoming but on the thirteenthminute following some hardwork and a good Eire Og moveJohn Quinn fired the sliotarto the net to open up a sixpoint advantage.

Eire Og seem far morecomfortable at this stage asCappawhite struggled for afoothold on the game. FionnBrady added another pointfor them but points fromConor Bradshaw and PaulDowney further extendedEire Og’s advantage.

Cappawhite did rally andDean O’Dwyer added twopoints from frees whileDonagh Heffernan pointedfrom play.

Killenaule won’t consideranother South final lossThe South Tipperary SeniorHurling Championship mayhave seen the addition of anextra club this year in theform of St. Mary’s, freshfrom their county interme-diate win of 2017, but thenew-look format has stillproduced a very familiarpairing for this year'sClonmel Oil sponsored final/

Novel, as the new five-clubformat has been, there isnothing new about Mulli-nahone and Killenaule facingoff in a South decider, and onSunday they will meet eachother for the fourth time infive years.

Indeed, over the pastseven years both Mulli-nahone and Killenaule haveshared six South titlesbetween them (Mullinahone4, Killenaule 2). The excep-tion to the rule being CarrickSwans surprise victory over

Killenaule in last year’s final.In 2014, 2015 and 2016,

these neighbours met inthree consecutive finals andin all three games only a puckof the ball separated them atthe finish. Both teams expectit to be no different atClonmel Sportsfield this timea rou n d .

In 2014 Mullinahone cameout on top by 2-11 to 2-8, theKickhams holding off a latesurge from Killenaule.

Twelve months on, inFethard,, ‘The Robins’ tri -umphed in an absorbing duel,edging ahead of Mullinahonewith a strong finish to win by0-21 to 2-13.

And in 2016, Eoin Kellywas the match-winning herosix minutes into added timewhen he won a free for him-self near the sideline andpointed from 45 metres freeinto a swirling wind for a 2-15to 1-17 win for the “G re e nabove the Red.” It was a scorethat gave an emotional six-times All-Star great pleasurefor the honour and glory ofthe little village.

Sureprint South Tipperary Minor Football Championship Final ( 20 1 8 )

The South Minor ‘A’ Foot ba l lFinal between Cahir andClonmel Og/Ballyporeengoes ahead on Sunday next,22nd July at Clonmel Sports-field at 5 pm, and for thefirst time in many years willfeature neither Commercialsor Moyle Rovers.It will be a curtain-raiser forthe Senior Hurling Finalbetween Killenaule andMullinahone .

This year’s Minor ‘A’Championship was betweenfive clubs, Clonmel Commer-

cials, Grangemockler/Bally-neale, Moyle Rovers and bothof Sunday’s finalists.

Without question, it hasbeen one of the most compet-itive and evenly contestedchampionships at this gradefor many years.

There was little if anythingbetween all five sides, and itcould be said that the oneteam who didn’t make it tothe semi-finals after theround-robin, Clonmel Com-mercials, were desperatelyunlucky not to have done so.That young squad, under theguidance of Paudie O’Ke e f fe,came on in leaps and boundsover the course of their gamesand were transformed from agroup that up to this year

were somewhat behind theothers in terms of competit-ive n e s s .

Cahir advanced to thefinal with 1-10 to 0-10 semi-final win over Moyle Rovers atArdfinnan. Davy McEniry’sside were put to the test on asweltering evening by theMonroe outfit, last year’sSouth and county winners,but they prevailed in the end.Three points down at half-time and five down afterRovers had the first twoscores of the second period,Cahir put in a storming finalquarter. With some greatscores from Jake Fitzgerald,Stephen Grogan, David Clif-ford and Tommy McDonaghthey overpowered Moyle

Rovers for a fully deservedwin.. Their powerful finish,in which they dominated thelast quarter, indicated notalone a strength of body but ofmind too.

The Clonmel Og/Ballypo-reen side earned their placein the decider with a stunning6-8 to 1-10 victory over Gran-gemockler/Ballyneale intheir semi-final. Here thecombo team turned thetables on their opponentswho earlier in the competi-tion had beaten them decis-ively. This time round astrengthened ‘Og /Bally’ s id edid a job on their opponentswith ace forward Chris-topher English finishing witha personal tally of 2-2.

Cahir will be wise to takenotice of this performance. Intheir early game at Ballyloobyagainst Sunday’s opponents -the first of the campaignplayed - Cahir had a comfort-able win, but they would befoolish to read too much intothat display. An unsettlingfeature of the combo’s four-game round robin pro-gramme was an inability tofield at full-strength for eachga m e.

In the semi-final they wereat full throttle and inSu n d ay ’s final spectators canexpect a much more evenlycontested encounter.

Clonmel Og claimed theironly South Minor ‘A’ suc c e s sin 1990 and would love to

bridge that gap which woulddo wonders for the Ned HallPark based club.

Certainly Cahir will startas favourites to win a titlethey last captured in 2000.Captained that day by RobbieCostigan, Cahir, who de-feated Moyle Rovers (2-12 to0-13) in the final, included thelikes of Paddy O’F l a h e rty,Brian Enright, Gavin Berryand Padraig Whelan andothers who went on to win acounty senior title just a fewyears later in 2003. They getthe nod to end that 18-yeargap on Sunday next.

SENIOR HURLING AND MINOR ‘A’ FOOTBALL FINALS

Killenaule won’t consideranother South final loss

breach on Sunday next, as‘The Robins’ and ‘The CJK’converge on the WesternRoad on Sunday next.THIS YEAR'S CAMPAIGN

Killenaule opened thisyea r ’s South campaign backin April with a hard-foughtfour-points victory over thereigning champions, CarrickSwan, winning by 2-19 to 1-18.The closely contested game,played at Monroe, was onlyput to bed in the 61st minutewhen Killenaule substituteEoin Barry goaled.

In the semi-final they hadan easier time of it when get-ting the better of newcomersSt. Mary’s winning by 1-23 to0-18 in Fethard. On that sun-blessed April evening JohnO’Dwyer was in top form andended with a personal tally of1 -1 3 .

Mullinahone, had only theone game in their journey tothe final, their comfortablesemi-final win over Ballin-garry in Clonmel back inApril when they cruisedhome by 2-16 to 0-10.

So what about Sundaythen? Trying to predict awinner based on form or pastachievements between thesetwo summer perennials isnext to impossible. Southsenior hurling finals take ontheir own individual dynamic

each year once the ball isthrown in.EVENLY MATCHED

What isn’tdifficult to see isthe potential of both sideswho are evenly matched withblends of experience andyouth, both sprinkled withplayers past and present whohave worn the ‘Blue and Gold’with pride and honour.

‘The Robins’ can dependon the likes of John, Joe andKillian O’Dwyer, ThomasKeaveney, Kieran Bergin,Paudie Feehan and Festy Ker-wick (if available), all out-standing hurlers on any givend ay.

‘The Kickhams’ have thefour Curran brothers con-tributing as ever, Eoin andPaul Kelly, Kevin Walzer, EoinFennelly, Jack Shelly, A.J.Cronin, players young andnot-so-young that never leaveanything behind them in aSouth final in terms of effortand commitment.

However, having won onlyone of the last four final ap-pearances and losing twice toMullinahone in those years,Killenaule will be in no moodwhatsoever to leave theWestern Road on Sundaywithout some silverware.That alone should drive themup an extra gear and they getthe vote for victory this time.

Players give their views on howthey see Sunday’s final going...

Thomas Keaveny (Killenaule) and Kevin Walzer (Mullinahone)

BY JEDDY WALSHThe South Tipperary SeniorHurling Final launch tookplace at the GAA Centre inClonmel on Friday night lastwhere Thomas Keaveney(Killenaule) and KevinWalzer (Mullinahone) took alook ahead to next Sunday'sg a m e.

Killenaule joint-captain(with John O’D w ye r)THOMAS KEAVENEY to o ktime out to look ahead to thefinal against Mullinahone.

“We are after losing moreSouth finals than we havewon down the years, and Iknow it doesn’t look great onstats and what have you. Butas far as I am concerned thatis all in the past now. We willbe hoping to change that a biton Sunday week. Things aregoing well this year and hope-fully we will be able to do thejob this time round. We cer-tainly will be giving iteve r y th i n g ,” said Keaveney.

“With regard to Mulli-nahone and finals, it doesn’tcome down to any particularreason. It’s not a mental thingor anything like that, anyway.I t’s just that they have been

the better team over the lastfew years and they have a lotof very good hurlers. But as wealways do we will give it our allagain on Sunday week, that’sall we can do. They havebeaten us in a few finals in re-cent years but we are hopingwe can get one back this timea rou n d ,” said Keaveney.

He went on to add“We are at full strength

now with the exception of PatKerwick, the only one thatmight be doubtful. He is justback from an knee injury andis doing a small bit of trainingagain. He would be a big lossfor us if he can’t line out butwe are hoping he can and willbe okay on the day. He is a bigaddition to us when he isgoing well.” added Keaveney.

“It means a lot to the cluband personally it is a greathonour for me to be captain ofKillenaule. To captain Kil-lenaule to a senior title wouldmean the world to me and itwould mean the world to therest of the boys too. We havebeen training all year for this,we have been at it since lastJanuary and we are into Julynow and we want to havesomething at the end of theyear to make it all worth-

wh i l e,” he replied, heart ons l e eve.

Mullinahone's K EV I NWA L Z E R had similar viewson what a South final betweenthese familiar friends andfoes means to his club....

“Three years ago Kil-lenaule beat us out in Fethardby two points and two yearsago we beat them by a point inClonmel, there’s never any-thing in it. Finals, especiallySouth senior finals, are al-ways tough to win and there isno quarter given or takenthere between us. But it isgood rivalry and healthyrivalry always between Mulli-nahone and Killenaule andthere is plenty of respect forboth sides,” added the stylishMullinahone defender, whowas joint captain with JackShelley two years ago in the2016 victory.

Man of the match in thatfinal - the last between thesides - I put it to Kevin aboutthat game and how it wentright down to the wire.

“It was a lovely day again, aclose tight game with nothingbetween the sides and it couldhave gone either way. It wasthe day Eoin Kelly producedthe goods again. He won his

own free over at the sidelineand look Eoin has been doingthat all his life, he put over oneto win the game for us again. Iwas lucky enough to get ‘manof the match’ that day, as yousay, but it was a team effortand you will always need a bigteam effort to win against Kil-l e n au l e,” he added.

Kevin went on to add:“There was a point

between us the last time weplayed, we came out on top.The time before that they wonby two points. It will be a tight,close game, there will be littlebetween us and you’d neverknow what might happen onthe day. They will have 15 thatwill start and we will have 15,and our lads, everyone ofthem, love to play against Kil-lenaule. There will be nothingin it at the end,” he said.

Putting it in simple terms,he added: “The South Cham-pionship is our bread andbutter. That is what we aim todo at the start of every year toget back to the South final andonce we get there we want towin it and go on from thereth e n .”

KILLENAULEKKIILLLLEENNAAUULLEE AND MULLINAHONEMMUULLLLIINNAAHHOONNEE TOCLASH IN SOUTH FINAL ON SUNDAY

After what seems an age -the semi-finals wereplayed back in April - theClonmel Oil sponsoredSouth Tipperary SeniorHurling ChampionshipFinal will go ahead on thisSunday at Clonmel Sports-field. (Throw-in at 7 pm).

For the fourth time in fiveyears Killenaule and Mulli-nahone go head to head forthe honour of being crownedSouth senior champions,with Mullinahone having thebetter of it between the sidesin recent years.

‘The Kickhams’ were vic-torious in the 2014 and 2016editions, while in a gameplayed in Fethard in 2015,

‘The Robins’ came out on top.Killenaule also advanced

to last year’s decider wherethe weight of hot favouritismsaw them lose out to a youngCarrick Swans side that hadbeen shipping some heavydefeats in the County Cham-pionship up to that point.

Killenaule got revenge forthat shock in this year’squarter-final back in Aprilwhen they knocked out thereigning champions in a well-contested game at Monroe,pulling clear with a late goal.

In the semi-final atFethard they were way toostrong for St. Mary’s - new tothe senior ranks this year -winning by 1-23 to 0-18 des-pite Killenaule having to playwith 14 men for the entiresecond half after the dis-missal of former countyplayer Kieran Bergin. Present

county star John ‘Bubbles’O’Dwyer scored 1-13 the samenight as the 2017 South andCounty Intermediate Cham-pions struggled.

Mullinahone had it alltheir own way against neigh-bours Ballingarry in theirApril semi-final in Clonmelwinning by 2-16 to 0-10.

No doubt the best twoteams in the division are de-serving of their places in thisyear’s showpiece.

Standing in for his clubcaptain Eoin Fennelly at thelaunch the other night, Mulli-nahone’s Kevin Walzer said:

“There was a pointbetween us the last time weplayed, we came out on top.The time before that theywon by two points. It will be atight, close game, there willbe little between us and you’dnever know what might

happen on the day. There willbe nothing in it at the end,” hesaid.

Thomas Keaveney is jointcaptain with ‘Bubbles’ of thisyear’s Killenaule side, and atthe launch ‘The Robins’ jointcaptain commented on whatthe game means to his club.

“It means a lot to the cluband personally it is a greathonourformetobecaptainofKillenaule. To captain Kil-lenaule to a senior title wouldmean the world to me and itwould mean the world to therest of the boys too. We havebeen training all year for this,we have been at it since lastJanuary and we are into Julynow and we want to havesomething at the end of theyear to make it all worth-while,” added Keaveney.

The minor ‘A’ footballfinal is at 5 pm.
