Tourism Networking Showcase Set

To Boost Youghal Tourism
The inaugural Youghal Tourism Networking Showcase held in the
Walter Raleigh Hotel on 30th April 2009 is already being hailed as
a major boost to Youghal’s tourism industry.
The business to business event, organised by the tourism division
of the Youghal Socio-Economic Development Group featured
over forty product providers who took part in a structured net-
working session.
Speaking after the event, organiser Aileen Ahern commented:
"The feedback already from attendees has been so positive. There
was such a great buzz about the place. We knew if we brought
people together it could be the start of people really working
together, - developing joint packages, making referrals, all with
the intention of keeping tourists in the area that bit longer, and
spending more money here. This type of approach leads to a win-
win situation all round".
Attendees included representatives from accommodation and
product providers throughout East Cork and West Waterford,
recognising Youghal’s geographic position and natural base for
tourists visiting both regions.
Mayor Oliver Casey officially opened the event commenting that
"Youghal has seen its ups downs, but with Tourism now being our
number one industry here in Youghal, it is only fitting that we do
all we can to nurture it".
Youghal is blessed with stunning natural assets and resources,
among them the Blackwater River - one of the most beautiful
Rivers in Europe, miles of sandy beach, all set in the backdrop of
a medieval town steeped in history and heritage. Last year the
town was literally pipped to the post in the European Destination
of Excellence Awards, and has been designated a Family Friendly
destination for 2009.

YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL MAY MEETING
By Christy Parker
Report of the Town Clerk on Matters Arising from the Monthly
Meeting of Youghal Town Council held on 20th April 2009.
YOUGHAL LANDFILL SITE:
Further to the recent visits from the EPA, Ross Daly of RPS (act-
ing on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency) did a full
odour survey of the facility last Friday morning, 1st May. He vis-
ited both facilities (including AVR) and reported that the landfill
had been given a "clean bill of health". No fugitive odours were
detected even on the windward side of the slob bank area which is
just a mere 100m from the working face of the landfill.
YOUGHAL OUTFALLS:
It was proposed that Cork County Council could carry out
improvement works as an advance contract to the main outfalls at
Front Strand, Paxes Lane and Foxhole to improve the dispersion
of effluent and allow for discharge over all stages of the tide. To
that end the existing outfalls have been included in a bathymetric
survey which is currently being competed for the proposed main
outfall. Based on the results of the survey, dispersion modelling
will be competed and recommendations made on the works
required, if worthwhile, at each outfall.
While the dispersion modelling contract has be procured and will
commence as soon as the bathymetric survey information is avail-
able, Atkins have suggested that any works to the other outfalls
will take some months to progress as they would need to complete
the modelling, assess the works requirements, carry out detailed
design, prepare tender documents, tender for a contract etc.
If it is required that Cork County Council progress the original
proposed works to the Front Strand storm outfall(s) urgently as a
separate contract, then Cork County Council can take that
approach. The outfall is storm water only, so modelling is not nec-
essary, although some redesign from the original proposal is
required to reduce the cost.
PERMANENT REINSTATEMENT OF GROUND INVESTI-
GATION WORKS IN YOUGHAL:
Atkins are finalising method statements for the permanent rein-
statement of these works with the contractor. Cork County
Council should have a confirmed start date on Tuesday 5th May
but it is anticipated works should start this week. The Resident
Engineer team are monitoring the temporary reinstatement and
have instructed the contractor to complete repairs on a number of
occasions. It is noted however that the temporary reinstatement in
many cases is raised slightly above the level of the road to allow
for settlement, perhaps this is the basis of some of the concerns.
In relation to any future issues with the reinstatement, Condition
21 of the road opening licences includes "Responsibility for the
excavation and the reinstatement remains with the licensee for a
maintenance period of twenty four months from the date of issu-
ing a Maintenance Period Commencement Notice by Cork County
Council. Any remedial works required during this maintenance
period shall be carried out by the licensee to the requirements of
Cork County Council. The maintenance period shall be extended
for a further period of twenty four months from the date of a
defects notification or the date of significant remedial works,
whichever being the later".
If there are issues with the permanent reinstatement in the future,
the Contractor will be required to return to site to repair as neces-
sary.
REDBARN BLUE FLAG APPLICATION:
Cork County Council have had discussions with An Taisce regard-
ing the requirements of a Redbarn blue Flag Status following An
Taisce’s inspection during the 2008 season. The following areas
will be the focus of attention for 2009.
1) Traffic Management Plan Required.
a) At present cars can access beach.
b) Needs to be a car free area with swimming (zoned off areas).
c) Deal with the issue of driving on dunes.
2) Dumping in the Dunes Area:
a) Put in place a litter/seaweed management plan.
Youghal News....May14th 2009
Page 1
b) Deal with litter on the beach road.
3) Safety Risk Assessment - Needs to be conducted in the 2009
season.
4) Blue Flag application to be submitted to An Taisce by the end
of January 2010.
REMEDIAL WORKS AT YOUGHAL HARBOUR:
I wish to inform you that funding of 400,000 (inclusive of VAR
and all other costs) has been approved by the Department of
Transport to fund remedial works at Youghal Harbour in 2009 in
respect of repairs to the inner and outer walls of the pier head and
repairs to the northern corner of Greens Quay.
The funding to finance these works is available in the
Department’s budget for 2009. Accordingly, the remedial works
will be undertaken without delay, and invoices forwarded to the
Department at the earliest opportunity. The last day for submitting
invoices will be 27th November 2009.
The final sitting of the current town council spanned approximate-
ly 45 minutes -brief by normal standards. While a distinct air of
pre-occupation pertained, the members nonetheless adhered to the
business at hand in the spirit of dutiful responsibility.
Cllr Michael Beecher took some issue with an item in the Town
Clerk’s Report on Minutes arising from the previous meeting. The
report recorded that on May 1st Ross Daly, on behalf of the EPA,
had visited both Youghal landfill and the adjacent waste treatment
and sludge drying facility Eras Eco (formerly SVR). "The landfill
had been given ’a clean bill of health’ noted the report. (Curiously,
there was no declaration on behalf of Eras Eco). The inspector
even concluded that, "no odours were detected on the windfill side
of the Slob Bank area which is just 100m from the working face
of the landfill." Cllr Beecher insisted that odours were detected on
Sunday morning and through Monday of this week. "Certainly
there’s something wrong at the weekends," he alleged, to no
response.
Congratulations:
Cllr Mary Linehan Foley congratulated "Pobalscoil na Trionoide
students Aisling Siochru, Adam Dalton and Aisling Coleman who,
along with their teacher Ms O’Neill," who earned the school first
place in the final of the Millipore Science Competition at the
Sheraton Hotel Dublin last week. The school beat five other
schools in the contest. The councillor also congratulated John
Quill and David O’Callaghan who lined out for Ireland’s under-21
rugby side away to France recently. She further paid tribute "yet
again to Sarah Ryan," whose outstanding pole vaulting brought
her another All-Ireland title at Limerick last April 25th
Cllr Beecher congratulated Fr. Michael Bermingham on his
appointment as Parish Priest to Blarney.
Sympathy:
Councillor Beecher remembered the late Mary Crowley who
passed away last week and remarked on her "great work as an
organist in the Parish church throughout the years." Cllr Linehan
Foley endorsed the sentiment and recalled being tutored in piano
by Ms. Crowley.
Town Foreman’s Report:
Cllr Liam Burke said there have been very many requests for the
playground at Greencloyne to be opened. He asked that the coun-
cil make a special effort to get it open for the primary school sum-
mer holidays. Other issues to which the councillor drew attention
included a very large pothole outside 13 Kilcoran Park, a request
for speed ramps at Chestnut Drive, footpath repairs needed at 29
Sweetfield and the unfinished footpath at Windmill Hill. He
sought a commencement date for landscaping works at Sra na
Sali. He echoed residents’ requests for footpaths from the junction
of Kilcoran and Seafield Rd to Chestnut Drive. The councillor
said there are persistent complaints of dog fouling in the town. He
asked that extra bins for dog faeces be placed on the Lighthouse
Hill and promenade. In conclusion Cllr Burke asked that the div-
ing board be put out for the June weekend.
Youghal News....May14th 2009
YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL MAY MEETING
Cllr Mary Linehan Foley asked that the trees in North Abbey ceme-
tery be trimmed. She said an abandoned car on Kilcoran Road need-
ed removing, with the owner possibly traced via the chassis number.
The councillor asked that the council write to the owner of a derelict
site on Greens Quay, which is now being used as a urinal by people
fishing in the locality. "It needs cordoning off or something," she sug-
gested. She wasn’t sure if a letter had been dispatched to the owner
previously and what, if any, response was forthcoming. The council-
lor was also concerned about the "deadly dangerous" footpaths from
Kilcoran Road to Chestnut Drive. She proceeded that residents at
Greencloyne were keen for double yellow lines to be installed near
the entrance to Mistletoe Grove estate, as parked vehicles are hinder-
ing residents’ views when exiting the estate.
Cllr Michelle Hennessy said Bayview Grove needs traffic calming
measures and that residents from 1-18 have "signed a petition in
favour." She said an accident is waiting to happen due to a downhill
entrance and signs indicating children at play would also be welcome.
The councillor also suggested that shrubs on the Mill Road round-
about be trimmed
Cllr Sandra McLellan asked that CIE be asked to erect a timetable at
the bus stop at the Fair Field as visitors have no way of discerning bus
times. She called for repairs to a collapsed handrail by the steps at the
bottom of Raheen Park. The councillor had several representations to
make on behalf of residents at Sarsfield’s Terrace. She said some res-
idents want to know if the council will paint the grotto statue. She
raised the issue of the proposed car park for the area, observing that
"the planning notice went up in 2005 and there’s been no work since."
She asked that the council consider traffic calming measures for the
area and said residents would also like the road widened at the bottom
of the terrace as cars are being damaged. The councillor then said that
a hole "the size of a small vehicle" needed re-filling at Kilcoran Park.
She also said residents at Springfield Court wanted to know when the
council would be taking charge of the estate. Town Clerk Liam Ryan
said he estate is still the developer’s responsibility and it normally
would take a few years before a council took over. However, he esti-
mated it would occur "probably in about 12 months."
Cllr McLellan asked that the Town Clerk issue a press release on the
situation regarding the closed playground, echoing Cllr Burke’s earli-
er insistence that it is the most common issue being aired on pre-elec-
tion doorsteps. "People don’t know that it was closed on health and
safety grounds, let alone if it is re-opening, she pleaded. Responding,
Mr. Ryan said the playground was closed on safety regulations last
year. He said he would not mention the estimates for repair and refur-
bishment due to it currently going through a tender process, but that
he had, with great difficulty, secured two sources of funding. These
were mainly through Dormant Accounts from the Dept of
Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs’ Pobal sector. This money
will be delivered but the second funding from Cork County Council
has since been withdrawn due to the recession. However, he said, he
intends to replace the Cork County Council shortfall "from some-
where" and that tenders would in fact be opened later in the meeting,
setting the ball rolling although the actual date of work commence-
ment was neither given nor yet decided.
Cork County Council Items:
Cllr McLellan asked that repairs be conducted on the footpath outside
Condon’s flower shop as accidents had occurred there. "The owner
has had to administer first aid to two people in the past fortnight," she
said.
Cllr Linehan Foley asked whether there are plans for more bins at the
Claycastle beach. "If there are no bins there, people will litter the
beach," she stated. The councillor also pointed out -not for first time-
that a new footpath at Dominic Collins Place does not connect with
the rest of the pathway. "There are a lot of elderly people there and its
dangerous for them," she said.
Cllr Sammy Revins said parking on the footpath at Tallow Street is
preventing people with buggies from passing. He asked that the
County Council look at the issue.
Cllr Dave Savage sought a guarantee that lifeguards would again be
deployed in Youghal this summer, with the inherent consequences for
blue flag status to bear in mind. The town engineer reassured him that
the service for 2009 will not differ from that of 2008.
Cllr Burke repeated his ongoing request for a report on the provision
of a new library for Youghal. He delivered "the usual list of broken
footpaths," they being Tallow Street, junction of South Abbey/Strand
Page 2
Street and South Main Street east side. He reported a missing sign for
the Strand from the top of the bypass, relevant to traffic from Co.
Waterford. A dog fouling sign at the entrance to Claycastle car park is
partly obscured by shrubbery, he proceeded, while a concealed
entrance sign is missing from Summerdale Lawn along with unfin-
ished road surface. Mr. Murray said he’d replace the missing con-
cealed entrance sign if he couldn’t locate the original!
Mayor’s Business:
Mayor Casey conveyed the gratitude of Paddy de la Cour and family
for the recent civic reception to mark his retirement from the fire serv-
ice. The mayor next outlined an application from the family of the late
Emer Casey for the approval and support of the council to plant a tree
in her name. He said the family would wish to have the tree planted
prior to fourth anniversary of her passing and also the staging of third
annual Emer Casey 10k road race/walk on May 24th. The family
wished to locate the tree, which they would provide, in a sea view
location, with railed surround and accompanied by a plaque. The
council’s guidance as regards any restrictions or procedures was also
sought. Mayor Casey reflected that Emer’s death from ovarian cancer
had sparked the Emer Casey Foundation, which was now effectively
saving lives through its fundraising and cancer research projects. "It
perhaps sounds strange to say but the good that has arisen from this
tragedy is absolutely outstanding," he said earnestly. The chamber
unanimously supported the request.
Correspondence:
Mayor Casey referred to a copy of a letter received from Australian-
based Mr. Ed O’Shea (formerly Midleton). The letter was accompa-
nied by a copied report from the Sydney Morning Herald referring the
life and Youghal native Paddy Kenneally who emigrated to Australia,
aged 11, with his family in 1927. He would serve with distinction as
a commando in the Australian army in East Timor and New Guinea
during WWII. The article dealt with Paddy’s love and respect for the
East Timorese people and his recognition -contrary to the successive
Australian governments- of their assistance and suffering during and
after the war. Paddy exhibited what every Youghal person would do
well to emulate. Having lambasted, in 1996, Prime Minister Gough
Whitlam’s support for Indonesia’s 1975 invasion of East Timor, in
2005 he addressed then Prime Minister John Howard on national tel-
evision. Urging that his government give the newly independent East
Timor "a fair go," on the eve of Anzac day he informed Howard that
if he did not comply, "I’d rather you didn’t come to my Anzac day
parade." The government capitulated a day later, offering East Timor
50% of a disputed gas field. Up the Youghal boy indeed! Paddy
Kenneally, a hero in war and in peace, died recently aged 93. Mayor
Casey spoke fondly of several meetings with Paddy -also know by his
first name John.
Painting the town:
Town Manager Patricia Power said up to 20 businesses had applied to
participate in the subsidised, house-painting heritage regeneration
project for 2009. "Six of these have already been approved and are
ready to go," she told a delighted chamber. A further 10 are to be
assessed this week. The increase marks a huge increase in the 2008
uptake, which was stymied by bad weather.
Tenders for playground remedial work:
The Town Clerk opened the received tenders. He added that there may
be some others to follow being possibly included amongst received
drawings, which it would not be practical to open at the meeting.
They would be added later. Those he opened were, in no particular
order, as follows: Creative Play Solutions; All Play Ltd.; Priority
Consruction Ltd.; McGinty & O’Shea Ltd.; Bowen Construction Ltd.:
Go Play Ltd.; Metro Building Contractors Ltd.; Spraoi Linn Ltd.:
Peter O’Brien & Sons Landscaping Ltd. There was a considerable
price variation amongst the tenders, ranging (not necessarily in order
opened) from approx. 55,000 to approx. 120,000. The tenders will
now go for technical assessment.
And finally
Cllr Burke wished his fellow election candidates -from within and
without the chamber- the best of luck for the June showdown. He
urged all the electorate to use their vote and to "use the proportional
representation system to cast preferences for every candidate. Every
candidate deserves a preference," he stated. Finally, Cllr Revins
bridged the gap between the outgoing council and the next adminis-
tration with the timely warning that, "Bad candidates get elected by
people who don’t vote." June 5th will tell.

get a helping hand from
Aura this summer
Local people thinking about kick-starting a new fitness regime for
the summer and beyond have been presented with the perfect
opportunity, thanks to a generous new membership offer this May
at Aura Youghal Leisure Centre.
Aura has made the gesture to the large numbers of people current-
ly eyeing up treadmills, spin bikes and fitness classes and to incen-
tivise others in the area, who may not have considered making
time for a new exercise routine, to improve their health and to stay
in shape during the hottest months of the year.
"There is always an increase in the number of people attending the
gym and starting new exercise regimes around this time and this
year will be no different. We tend to find that many people decide
to start exercising again at the start of the summer and the reasons
for this vary from person to person," explained Tracy Kennelly,
Operations Manager at Aura Youghal.
"It may be because they have let things slip over the springtime
with work commitments, or their regular workouts may have start-
ed to take a backseat to their social life. Either way, people natu-
rally want to look their best in the good weather and starting to put
together two, three or even four workouts a week is one of the best
ways to achieve their health and fitness objectives.
"We know from experience that sometimes everyone needs a little
bit of encouragement to start exercising again, rather than just
thinking about it. This is why we have taken the decision to drop
our single annual membership fee by 100 from 499 to 399.
This offer will run for the month of May and is limited to the first
50 applicants," explained Tracy.
"While it is always great to see that people are concerned about
their health and fitness, it is even more important that they main-
tain their exercise routine long after the summer is finished.
"Signing up for an annual membership to Aura will provide even
more motivation to stay in shape, not just for the summer, but all
year around, while the 100 reduction is especially welcome in the
current economic climate.
"We expect these 50 discounted rates to literally fly out the door,
so we are encouraging all those interested to contact the centre
straightaway and speak to one of our advisors.
"Whether it is trips to the gym, swims in our 25-metre pool, or to
attend one of our many fitness classes, Aura provides something
for everyone, whatever their age of fitness level," added Tracy.
Meanwhile, Aura is currently taking bookings for the next set of
lessons in ’Aura Swim Academy’. The 10-week course is suited to
children of all ages and swimming abilities and will help them to
learn how to swim and improve their swimming skills.
Those interested in applying for Aura Youghal’s annual member-
ship discount, or enrolling their child in ’Aura Swim Academy’,
should contact reception on 024-91614.

Sponsored by Youghal Credit Union
Munster Senior and Junior Track and Field Championships:
at C.I.T Track Cork on Monday 4th May
On Bank Holiday Monday the Munster Senior and Junior
Championships took place in Cork. Youghal Athletic Club was
represented by 5 Athletes. Sarah Ryan took gold in the Senior Pole
Vault and also in the Senior Javelin.
Sarah opened her Pole Vault competition with a first time clear-
ance at 2.10 and cleared 2.30 and 2.50 metres on her first attempts,
she was unlucky at 2.70 coming close on her 3 attempts. The gold
was Sarah’s first in the Munster Seniors and adds to her All Ireland
Inter varsities she won the previous week.
Sarah won the javelin competition with a throw of 25.92 metres;
she threw in the 4th round of the competition. This was her first
Javelin competition in over 2 years and shows she has not lost any
of her technique. Emer Kelly finished 2nd in the Senior Pole Vault
competition with a clearance of 1.90, this was Emer’s second com-
petition in two days having cleared 1.70 the previous day in the
County Juveniles.Nikita Savage took gold in the Junior Pole Vault
competition with another excellent display of Pole Vaulting.
Nikita opened the competition at 2.70 and cleared it on her 2nd
attempt and then cleared 2.90 on her first attempt, which broke the
existing Munster junior Record. The bar went to 3.10 and again
Nikita cleared it on her first attempt. Nikita was unlucky at 3.30
Billy Cashman and Caitriona McMahon
when she failed narrowly 3 times to get the height. Her 3.10 clear-
ance and a new Munster junior record show what a talented ath-
lete she is. In the Senior women’s 800 metres Amanda Crotty ran
a brilliant race to finish 4th in a time of 3 minutes. This was a
major improvement from two weeks previously where she ran
3.10 for the 800 metres in the Leevale open Sports.In the Senior
men’s Javelin Eamon Flanagan finished 3rd with a throw of 25.30
metres.

WE ALWAYS HEAR CARS POLLUTE BUT COWS ARE
WORSE !!
Livestock are responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse-gas emis-
sions as measured in carbon dioxide equivalent, reports the FAO.
This includes 9 percent of all CO2 emissions, 37 percent of
methane, and 65 percent of nitrous oxide. Altogether, that’s more
than the emissions caused by transportation.
The latter two gases are particularly troubling - even though they
represent far smaller concentrations in atmosphere than CO2,
which remains the main global warming culprit. But methane has
23 times the global warming potential (GWP) of CO2 and nitrous
oxide has 296 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MINI AND FORD ARE GREEN
Data published today by environmental website, Clean Green
Cars, shows that Mini is the manufacturer with the lowest CO2
output.
Mini has an average CO2 figure of 130.5 g/km of CO2, which
means it is ahead of schedule to meet the EU target of 130 g/km
of CO2 by 2012. In second place is Fiat with 134.6 g/km of CO2
and in third place Toyota with 136.5 g/km of CO2. In terms of
tonnes of CO2, the sharpest reduction has come from Ford, whose
more economical new Ka and Fiesta models mean that new Fords
now emit 10,000 fewer tonnes of CO2 per year. At the bottom of
the table are Land Rover and Porsche, which both emit just over
250g/km of CO2.I wonder do green party members take this into
account when they buy cars.!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even Fine Gael’s energy spokesman Simon Coveney this weekend
called for ’’radical and ambitious thinking’’ on the issue by the gov-
ernment and the ESB his idea is that we all drive electric cars and
then fuel up at poles and points all over the place. He wants us all
driving Renault Megane’s powered by battery.
The down side our National grid is powered by fossel fuels,car
range is very bad ,recharge time is too long, its not a perfect world
vandalism to poles charging points etc ,this will need alot more
thinking hydrogen is the way to go but it needs a bit more plan-
ning.

FUEL IS EXPENSIVE SO WATCH YOUR DRIVING
What Car did a fuel economy test recently where they tested men
and women and gave them an 11 mile test behind the wheel most
improved their fuel economy by 20% ,A woman by the name of
Christina White improved her fuel economy by 53% by following
the tips below
Christina White reckons all drivers should be taught eco-driving
techniques before they hit the road. ’Why isn’t this stuff part of the
driving test?’ she said. ’It would be far less difficult to pick up
these skills if you were taught them when learning to drive.’The
biggest thing is go up the gears driving along in 3rd gear all round
town kills u MPG.(Miles Per Gallon)
TOP TEN WAYS TO SAVE FUEL
1. Maintain momentum
Your car uses most fuel getting away from a standstill The
answer? Don’t let it stop - keep it moving. Pull away slowly and
anticipate the road ahead, keeping a good distance from the traffic
in front. That way, you’ll need to stop fewer times.
2. Change up earlier
Change up a gear as early as possible. The fewer revs the engine
is doing at any given speed, the more miles it’ll do to the gallon,
so you’ll save cash.
3. Shed weight
Don’t lug around empty child seats or a boot full of tools. The
lighter your car is, the less fuel it’ll use.

THE MINI AT 50: AN ICON

The project that became the Mini was born out of the fuel short-

space, tiny 10" wheels and seatbelts and wing mirrors as optional Specialising in all your motoring needs

The Mini’s low price didn’t prevent it appealing to the rich and

Mini Cooper’s film-stealing role in The Italian Job in 1969 sealed
its iconic status and there was another version of the film made

In the 1990s and 2000s, what remained of the British car industry
was sold on and broken up. BMW owned the remains for a while,
but retained the Mini name when it sold Rover on in
2000.Developed between 1995 and 2001, the new Mini launched
in April 2001.A totally new car, it does share a sideways 4-cylin-

resemblance with its ancestor.The millionth Mini rolled off the
production line in April 2007, six years after production began.
That’s just one month longer to reach the magic million than the

MOTORING TIDBITS
British car production fell 51.3 percent year-on-year in March as
falling demand forced manufacturers to cut output sharply

Auto manufacturing has a global turnover of around $2.6 trillion,

more than the GDP of France.

Good news at Ferrari despite the fact that the world financial cri-
sis has resulted in a severe collapse of the car market, the Prancing
Horse ended the first quarter of 2009 with a trading profit of 54
million euro. This is not only the highest profit recorded in any of
the various Fiat Group sectors but is also one of the few positive
signs to appear in the first quarter results of any automotive com-
pany anywhere in the world.

Chrysler LLC announced that, as a result of the comprehensive

restructuring plan agreed to by many of its stakeholders, it has
reached an agreement in principle to establish a global strategic

SWAYNE
alliance with Fiat SpA to form a vibrant new company. It will
allow Chrysler and Fiat to fully optimize their respective manufac-
turing footprints and the global supplier base, while providing

level and looking dangerous. Points from Bill Cooper and Leigh
Desmond restored the half time deficit and soon Youghal led by 5
and looked home and dry with 10 minutes to go. Mallow seemed
to get a second wind aproaching the final whistle and when a mag-
nificent save by Richie Cunningham wasn’t cleared and Mallow
goaled it was game on again and scores were level at 1-12 to 2-9.
Mallow went a point up almost straight from the restart and looked
all over the winners until Leigh Desmond was fouled and pointed
the resulting free. The assembled crowd expected the final whistle
and were already thinking about the replay when James O’Mahony
caught a great ball in the corner and centred for Desmond who was
fouled and again he pointed the free to give Youghal a hard earned
victory. Mallow had a chance to draw level but the attempt fell
short into the grateful hand of Richie Cunningham and from the
clearence the final whistle blew.
U21 FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP EAST CORK FINAL
YOUGHAL 2-6 V GLANMIRE 2-13
A bridge too far for Youghals young guns as they came up against
a team that had no player under the age of 19 in their side as
opposed to Youghal playing what is in effect a Minor team plus 4
players up to the age. No excuses however as Glanmire were a
class above and dominated in most areas of the field in the open-
ing half but never opened a gap that they could have been com-
fortable with. Youghal were happy enough to go in trailing by just
4 points at the break on a score line of 0-7 to 0-4. Youghals cause
however wasn’t helped when Conor O’Sullivan limped off just
before the break but the incoming Paul Quill did well around the
middle and disrupted a lot of play. Youghal started well in the sec-
ond half and when Stephen Kelly goaled after 5 minutes the scores
were level. We never seemed to drive on from this and were very
weasteful in possesion giving away some vital ball under no real
pressure which knocked the stuffing out of the lads. A very poor
decision by the referee in the Glanmire penalty area saw them
break quickly and goal at the other end. Youghal rallied again and
James O’Mahony pulled it back to 4 points again with a great goal
and shortly after we were unlucky not to have got a penalty with
10 minutes left. Glanmire overpowered Youghal in the last 10
minutes which was no surprise after the huge effort the lads put in

Youghal United U10’s at Clashmore Tournament
Report by John Connelly
Youghal United brought a strong squad of fourteen players to their
first competitive fixture of the year. The team held their own
against an experienced Clashmore side in the first match, which
ended in a 2-0 defeat. The Youghal boys were determined to come
home with a win, and managed a gutsy 1-0 victory against Valley
Rangers, with Sean Smiddy providing the winning goal.
The final match of the group stage against Ardmore was a tight
game, with Ardmore running out 1-0 winners. That meant
Ardmore progressed to the cup semi-final whilst Youghal entered
the semi-final of the shield. Youghal built up a 2-0 lead against
Clashmore’s second team before losing 3-2. Leo Nunn and Adam
Bullman were the Youghal goal scorers.
A big thanks to those parents who assisted with lifts on the day,
and despite a disappointing finish the day was enjoyed by all.
Squad: Kevin Anderson, Fionn Cliffe, Jordan Yellop, Zac
Downing, Tony Flavin, Adam Bullman, Leo Nunn, Calum
Coleman, Sean Smiddy, Eoin Connelly, Sean O’Brien, Liam
Forrest, Conor Kennedy
Youghal United U8’s at Clashmore Tournament
Report by Tommy Kenefick
Youghal United found themselves in an evenly matched group
with Ballybridge of Cappoquin and Dungarvan United. With goal-
keeper Andrew Foley in top form, and with the defence made up
of the outstanding Ruairi McMahon, Mikey Lyons , James Lane,
Jack Kenneally and Shane Geary, Youghal never looked like con-
ceding a goal in either of their matches.
The fact that the only goal conceded by Youghal in the two games
came from a deflected shot against a very strong Dungarvan side
was a great credit to the Youghal outfit. With Adam Hennessy
marshalling midfield superbly, and both Keith O’Connor, James
Varney and Christian Persaud working tirelessly and skillfully in
both midfield and attack, Youghal threatened to score on numer-
ous occasions, only to come up against some resolute defending
and excellent goalkeeping from Dungarvan and Ballybridge. After
two matches played, both Youghal and Ballybridge were tied on
points, requiring the most dramatic of penalty shoot-outs to break
the deadlock.
Both goalkeepers kept up their magnificent form to keep out
penalty after penalty, all of which were well struck and on target.
A fantastic penalty from the ice-cool James Varney brought the
penalty shoot-out to sudden death.
Andrew Foley brought off the save of the tournament to prolong
the shoot-out, until finally Ballybridge prevailed to go through to
the semi-final. The lads did themselves and their club proud in
their first-ever tournament, and will have greater days ahead.
Squad: Andrew Foley, Ruairi McMahon, Mikey Lyons, James
Lane, James Varney, Shane Geary, Jack Kennaelly, Christian
Persaud, Aoife Geary, Keith O’Connor (Vice Captain), Adam
Hennessy (Captain).
Youghal United U7’s at Clashmore Tournament
Report by T. Kennedy
After a late withdrawal from the tournament by another club,
Youghal United were asked if they would split their U7 side into
two teams to balance out the group.Youghal obliged, and their two
U7 sides played their way into an all-Youghal final.
Emmett Perry’s U7’s cruised through the group stage with three
impressive victories, beating Cappoquin FC 5-0, Youghal’s other
U7’s 2-0, and Clashmore 2-0. T. Kennedy’s Youghal U7’s had a
tougher road to the final, first losing to Clashmore 2-0 and
Youghal 2-0, before getting on track with a 5-1 win over
Cappoquin. With a semi-final date with Clashmore looming, the
Youghal boys dug deep, and came away with a stunning 3-0 vic-
tory. The Youghal vs Youghal final was a hotly contested affair,
filled with crunching tackles, silky smooth passing, and blistering
shots on goal. The final score was Youghal 2 - 1 Youghal, with

South Munster Under 18
Development League Final
Youghal 18 Fermoy 10 By Derek Kiely
This final originally set for last Saturday was postponed due to a
waterlogged pitch, but the surface at Towns Park was perfect for
this memorable final.Youghal who had already secured the Under
18 Cup were favourites going into this match, especially when the
Seasiders had already dealt Fermoy two heavy defeats earlier in
the season, but this game was a very different affair with little
between the two sides until the final ten minutes.
Youghal had the early advantage and on the ninth minute the
breakthrough came with a well worked move out to the right wing
finished with a great offload from David Hyde to Niall Clohessy
who touched down for the matches opening try.
Fermoy’s response was impressive, good pressure inside the
Youghal half continued for the next ten minutes and eventually
from a quick ball ruck Fermoy’s number eight Lewis Mitchell
dived over, under the posts for the equalizing try. Tom McAuliffe
converted and Fermoy had the two point advantage. Fermoy start-
ed the brighter ii the second half and good pressure forced a
penealty on the Youghal 22. McAuliffe converted and Fermoy
were five points clear. The game developed into a forwards battle,
where Youghal’s Daryll Ryan and Cian Kenneally were impressive
in overturning a lot of ball. An inspired tactical change was made
by Youghal on the 55th minute when Greg Jaywardene was moved
off the wing and into scrum half. Immediately Youghal seemed to
get quicker ball and after a move involving six phases, Clohessy
was in again with a blistering run, touching down in the corner.
With the sides level Youghal seemed to have massive momentum
and a penealty success from Outhalf Alan Frahill O’Connor fired
Youghal back into the lead. Jaywardene finished the match off in
style with a try on the 70th minute, cutting in on the blind side and
started the celebrations for the Youghal under 18’s who completed
an impressive South Munster Developement Cup and League dou-
ble. Youghal: G. Flavin, J.Irons, C.Kenneally, D.Ryan, Anthony
Frahill O’Connor D.O’Brien, P.Quill, A.Mason, Keith McCarthy,

KNOCKANORE PARENTS
ASSOCIATION
Annual sponsored walk.
This year our annual fund-raising walk eill take place on Friday
may 22nd @7.30. The walk this year is going an easier route
which will accomodate all pupils in the school as well as parents
with small children and buggies. We will be leaving the school at
7.30pm heading up the road to the gates of the Carn Wood turning
there and returning to the school. This walk is two miles long.
Our aim this year is to raise essential funds to pay for the hall dur-
ing school hours. All children use the hall so we all need to pitch
in and pay our share this year. The hall is used by the school for
all sorts of sports activities where were previously not possible if
the weather was bad. We need to raise at least 1,000 from this
years walk from everyone, so come along and join us on the night
and get all your neighbours, work colleagues and friends to spon-
sor you and hopefully we will reach our target.
We would like to extend good wishes to second class who are
receiving First Holy Communion this Saturday hope the weather
stays fine.

COUNTY JUNIOR, SENIOR AND MASTERS CHAMPI-
ONSHIPS.
Youghal AC had a big haul of medals in the County Junior, Senior
and Masters Championships totalling 22 on Sunday 10th May.
There were some hugely impressive individual performances and
a lot of new PBs established.
Nikita Savage, Sarah Ryan and Eimear Kelly all participated in the
Junior and Senior Pole Vault. Nikita got a new PB OF 3.20 which
is just 10cm short of the qualifying time for the Junior Olympics
in Finland. She won both competions; Sarah Ryan came second
in both competitions with her best jump of 2.80m and Eimear
Kelly came third in both and also got a PB odf 2.00m.
In the javelin competion the thrower of the day Nic Raicevic was
thrilled when his final throw went well ahead of the field and was
measured in at 41.87m. This was a formidable throw and no doubt
he will represent us at the Munsters. He won both the Senior and
O/35 Javelin. Mossie Cahill came third in the Senior Javelin when
his throw of 24.80m was measured; he encountered difficulty ini-
tially with the white line. Eamon Flanagan came ist in the O/40
Javelin with his throw of 24.32m. We had two mothers and
daughters in the women’s javelin competition. Sarah Ryan com-
peted in the Senior Javelin and came second witha strong throw of
26.55. Patricia Curtin came first in the Junior Javelin with a throw
of 25.30m. Their mothers Geraldine Curtin and Sandra Ryan
competed against each other in the Masters Javelin and Geraldine
won on her last throw with Sandra taking second place. Their
throws didn’t measure up to their daughter’s level but well done to
all for suvh tremendous competition which was obviousky was
dominated by Youghal AC.
Mossie Cahill also won another two medals in the Senior Hammer
where he came 2nd and in the Senior Discus where he cane third.
Geraldine Curtin won the Masters Hammer and Discus in her cat-
egory.
On the track there were very impressive performances. Noel
Curtin and Marty O Keefe ran in the 3000m. Noel came 2nd over-
all and first in the O/45 category; Marty came fifth overall and
won third place in the o/40 category. Both Marty and Noel rushed
off to play a Football match with Castlemartyr against the current
Junior team where their running came to the fore and defeated the
current as part of the Gaa 125 years celebrations. Mary O Keefe
did very well in the 3000m finishing first in the o/45 category and
putting in a super performance in her first track race. Patricia
Curtin also won the Junior Triple Jump and was very happ to get

Novice Cup Final Last Thursday, 7th May was competition night Coyne, Breeda Curtin Lady Captain and Eileen Farrell pictured at the presentation
in the alley again. After a schedule of 18 matches to get to the final of Prizes in the Youghal Tiles Tournament at Youghal Golf Club

John C. Murray Memorial Trophy

we were finally ready to have the final of the inaugural Novice Cup.
In the earlier stages we had the Winter Plate Finalists Brendan
Mackey and Michael Pearce knocked out, we had Jody Cooper lose Sponsored by:
out narrowly in the quarter final. We had SiobhÆn Downing upset
many of the men by knocking them out only to lose in the semi Peter, Mary & The Murray Family
final. We also had Michael John Curley exit at semi final stage.
Competing for the final were Barry Goggin and Colin Kennedy.
Both players have a very different style of play. Barry plays a very
fast paced, hard hitting game, whereas Colin likes to play lots of
drop shots and z-balls into the front corners. It was going to be
interesting to see how each would cope. The first game went point
for point most way through as the players settled into their match.
At 9-9 the game could have swung either way. It was Barry that got
the next few points and ended up taking the first on a 15-10 score.
Barry started the second game strong and notched up a couple of
early scores that had Colin playing catch up. It was a lead that
Colin was not making roads into and through strong serving and
second shot combinations Barry took the second and won to take
the honors and win the competition. The club would like to con-
gratulate all 20 players on making the competition very enjoyable. 1st Prize - Ray Shields pictured with the Captain Austin O’Keeffe, Peter Murray -
Sponsor, John Murray - Sponsor & Larry Cunningham President
We would also like to thank the players whom assisted with the ref-
ereeing over the weeks. Finally, we would also like to thank all
those that came up to watch and support their friends on the nights
and contribute to the great atmosphere.
Open Cup No sooner has the Novice Cup finished and we have
kicked off the Open Cup. In this competition we have 21 players
battle out 20 matches to be crowned Open Champion for the next
twelve months. The first round of matches saw Brendan Mackey
beat Kevin Landers on 2-0 scoreline. Next up Jody Cooper ended
Keith Walsh s interest with a 2-0 win also. Last match of the night
had Olan McCarthy book his place in the next round after seeing off
Jason Browne. Next Thursday 14th May we have matches as fol-
lows:14-May-09 7.00pm Barry Goggin vs. Michael John Curley;
8.15pm Brendan Mackey vs. Michael Pearce; 9.00pm Brian
Fitzgerald vs. Killian McCarthy 2nd Prize - Paddy Drummy pictured with the Captain Austin O’Keeffe, Peter
Spring Ladder The Spring Ladder is well underway with players Murray - Sponsor, John Murray - Sponsor & Larry Cunningham President
like Keith Gallogley & Barry Goggin making significant progress
and making their way into the top 10 on the ladder. Wayne
Fitzgerald still holds the number 1 slot, however we will have to
keep our eye on this as he has challenges from Dwaine O Shea and
Andrew Gallogley to be played in the coming week. Michael
Pearce, Liam Joyce, Brian Fitzgerald, Brendan Mackey and Jody
Cooper are all in the top 10 also and are battling it out weekly to
improve/maintain their rankings. There are still about 6 weeks to
be played in the ladder so there is still plenty of time for movement!
Youths Training Training continues on a Saturday between 1.30pm
and 4.30pm. Turnout had been good to date with most of the cur-
rent youths coming up for some well valued coaching. Training is
free and the club will provide all equipment. Parents are welcome
to stay, have a tea/coffee and biscuits and watch from the gallery if Best Gross - Tommy Kennefick pictured with the Captain Austin O’Keeffe, Peter

Model T Rally Youghal
Sunday 10th May 2009 was the date for the fourth rally to be held
in Youghal of the Model T Association. Ardsallagh Lodge Guest
House, Youghal, was the venue for The Blackwater River Run.
Tim Crowley of Crowley Engineering, Upper Glanmire Bridge,
Cork, was the host for this yearly event. Fourteen vintage cars
arrived with their owners and guests from America and Australia,
having admired the beautiful views from Ardsallagh Lodge, the
cavalcade left for their first stop Ballynatray House. John Dawson
took the group on a tour of the estate; with the warm weather the
pheasants and guinea fowl took the opportunity to meander along
the drives totally undisturbed by the vehicles. Taking the scenic
drive to Lismore the motorcade arrived at the Farmers Market,
Michael Walsh informed the group how and why the market had
been setup it provided and excellent opportunity to purchase
plants, paintings and delicious home-made cakes. Ballyrafter
House, Lismore provided a tasty lunch and a chance to catch up on
news and events. Then on to the magnificent Lismore Castle set up
overlooking The Blackwater River. The entire group were
enthralled by the private tour of the Castle, its history, the anec-
dotes of its guests and the beautiful gardens. With cameras flash-
ing and the videos running not to mention the views from all win-
dows it proved difficult to get the party on the road to the last stop
of the day, Salterbridge House. Emma and her team provided
afternoon tea for all forty-three guests and yet another delightful
garden. After leaving Salterbridge the group headed back to
Youghal by way of Cappoquinn, Dromana Drive, Villerstown, and
Clashmore. The drive was 42 miles with many hills for these
antique cars to master only one vehicle failed to make it round
Peter Merrigan of Triace provided a breakdown service. The asso-
ciation would like to extend their sincere thanks to all those who
assisted to provide such a super day, Henry Gwyn-Jones and his
team at Ballynatray, The Duke and Duchess of Devonshire and
their staff, Philip Wingfield, Joe and Noreen Willoughby, Tim
Allen and the local Garda.

Youghal children help to
raise 245 at Aura in
Special Olympics Ireland
fundraising drive
Children from all over Youghal have a lot to be proud of this week
after it was revealed that they helped to raise 245 over the course
of Aura Youghal Leisure Centre s day-long fundraising drive for
Special Olympics Ireland on Friday, April 24th.
They were joined by families and friends who all took time out of
their busy schedules to cheer on the young boys and girls and to
participate in a number of fundraising activities themselves.
The money that the children raised and the contribution that they
put in on the day is testament to their generosity and hard work,
and to the goodwill of the people of the town towards Special
Olympics Ireland, said Tracy Kenneally, Operations Manager at
Aura Youghal.
Whether they gave us an hour of their time, or just 10 minutes,
every child made a difference. We decided that a swimathon was
the best way to raise money as they gave everyone a chance to
watch and take part, whatever their age or fitness level.
The swimathon took place right throughout the day, so families
were able to drop in at any time, whether it was before work, in
the evening time, or even during their lunch break, added Tracy.
Our young members of Aura Swim Academy made a great con-
tribution by swimming lengths of the pool from morning through
to evening and they were supported and encouraged by Aura
members, Pay As You Go customers, staff and members of the
public.
Aura was one of 24 companies in Ireland who organised day-long
fundraising activities as part of the Special Olympics Ireland All-
Ireland Collection Day. In total, the Aura group, which operates 10
health and leisure centres right across the country, raised a grand
total of 14,000 for Special Olympics Ireland on the day.
All monies raised will go towards providing sports training and
competition for Special Olympics athletes and towards reaching
out to those people not already involved in the organisation. It will
also be used to recruit and train volunteers to assist the athletes and
to develop new clubs.
