JOIN IN CENTENARY
CELEBRATIONS IN WEXFORD.
This year the Irish Countrywomen's Assoc. celebrates 100 years
since its foundation in Bree, Wexford, by Anita Lett.
To honour this occasion there are celebrations all over Ireland, but
naturally the best celebrations are in Wexford. A group of fifty
women from West, North, and East Cork, travelled by bus to
Wexford on Weds. 5th May for three days, to take part in the
events. Mary Lynch, Kitty Flavin and Kay Donnelly from the
Youghal Guild joined the group on the trip. Following a relaxing
lunch at Lawlors in Dungarvan the tour headed off to the JFK
ARBORETUM near New Ross. It covers an area of 252 hectares
(623 acres) and has beautiful walks and a hilltop view of six coun-

Youghal Pigeon Club
Last Saturday 15th of May our club race was flown from
Monaghan.
This was also our first federation race where we competed against
our fellow fanciers in Munster. This included fanciers from
Dungarvan,Waterford, Clonmel, Carrick-on-Suir, Tralee,
Limerick, Roscrea and Thurles. All in all very strong competition
and as we are the furthest flying fanciers we need a lot of luck and
good pigeons to top the federation. Hopefully now we are getting
into the longer races we will see some good fed. results.
Meanwhile back to last weeks race from Monaghan where Pat
Parker took first position. Well done Pat you have been waiting a
while for this day.
Five different fanciers were involved in taking a position and this
shows that competion among us ten fanciers is very keen indeed.
The full result is as follows; 1st Pat Parker, 2nd Billy Hehir, 3rd
Paddy Aherne, 4th Michael Aherne, 5th Tony Hennessy
Concerts at the beautiful 13th Century, St Mary's Collegiate
Church have become very popular in the last few months with
artists such as Mick Flannery, Kila and Declan O'Rourke to men-
tion a few, performing and these concerts have been greatly sup-
ported by the people of Youghal and the surrounding areas.
Slowly but surely we have been upgrading this beautiful ancient
church with the addition of cushions in the pews, replacing old car-
pets and replacing the plastic partition in the chancel with a beau-
tiful blue velvet curtain. The Church unfortunately doesn't receive
any funding whatsoever, therefore we rely totally on donations and
income from the rental of the church. Only recently grant aid has
been approved for the acquisition of a mobile stage and the three
extra doors in the building are currently being repaired and will be
open in the next week or so making concerts safer in the event of
a fire.
In an attempt to continually improve the comfort of concert goers,
we plan to install a heating system as it can be very cold during the
winter months. A fundraising concert will be held on Sunday May
30th in the Church to raise funds towards the installation of said
system.
Participation from community groups and individuals at this event
has been so great that there will be 17 acts performing on the night
from children's dance groups to church choirs, from theatre groups
to Michael Jackson impersonators to individual solo singers.
It promises to be a great family evening out with a vast array of live
performers in this beautiful setting.Tickets on the door for only
€10.Parking available at the rear of the church on Raheen Road, at
Fairfield car-park near Berties Pub or behind Super Valu. No park-
ing allowed in the grounds of the church.
Please come along and support our rich local heritage.

YOUGHAL'S VHF BOYS TUNE ESTHER WHYTE & MIKE BENARDINO
INTO SAILING WEATHER 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
By Christy Parker
Two young Youghal lads savouring the increased opportunity for
outdoor activities that the fine weather brings are Anthony White
and Adrian Lee. Both are keen boaters and earlier this year became
widely accepted as the two youngest sailors ever to acquire
VHF/DSC (Digital message transmitting) qualification in Ireland.
At 12, they were of the minimum age for inclusion on the course.
Besides having Christian names beginning with the letter 'A', there
is a remarkable similarity in profile between the two friends. Both
are the sons of coastguard service fathers who introduced them to
the sea at a very early age, both are from a family of four with one
older sister and both want to fly helicopters as adults. They are both
also Manchester United fans, though they have a marked reluctance
to settle for second best as befell their team this year!
Anthony is the son of 'Goggy' and Mary White of Sarsfield's
Terrace and brother of Jenna,15. He frequently goes fishing with his
dad on a 19 ft boat part-owned by Tom Power. (Goggy, a lifelong
fisherman, is an Aston Villa supporter in Youghal, so is presumably
unfazed by loneliness at sea).
Anthony harbours hopes of piloting a helicopter with the Royal
Navy when he reaches adulthood. He is therefore delighted that his
newly acquired qualification not only entitles him "to use a radio on
any boat in the world" but also provides a step on the path to his
long-term flying ambitions. He attends Bunscoil Mhuire.
Adrian, a few months older than Anthony is the son of Richard and
Ruth Vance Lee and his older sibling Christina is 14. He also wants
to pilot helicopters in the longer term, although he sees the Irish
Coastguards service as the beneficiaries. He fishes with his dad in
an 18ft craft but also has his own boat and a kayak. He had his first
boat trip while Esther Whyte and Mike Benardino and family Anthony and Johnny now celebrat-
was pram- ing their 50th Wedding Anniversary

The boys, who
already epitomise cool-headed poise when discussing their achieve-

coastguard crew for a couple of evenings a week for nearly a
month. They then undertook an intensive weekend course amongst
a dozen or so adults under the tutelage of Aqua Trek supremo John
Innes after which a Department of the Marine official set them a
written and oral exam. They found more difficult than anticipated
but sailed through it nonetheless.

Results and Upcoming Fixtures:
The following are the results and up coming fixtures of Youghal
Athletic club:- First up we had the John Treacy 10 mile road race
held in Villierstown, on May the 16th. This was a tricky and
tough enough course on a hot day and first home with a great run
was Darren Chambers in 1.11.34, closely followed by Richie
McCarthy in 1.12.32. Then we had four of our runners coming
in together which was great to see, we had George Bulman, John
Lynch, Sylvie O'Mahony and John O'Mahony. Well done to
Sylvie on winning best female prize over 50 (Georgie told me).
Next up we had the Cheetah Fota Fun 4 mile road race in Fota
Wildlife Park. This is the only race in Europe run through a
Wildlife park and they got a big turn of 631 runners. First home
was Mossie Cahill in 24.17, not a bad run considering his injuries.
Next was Martin Drake in 25 flat, who seems to be improving
week on week. Next was Eoin Martin in 27.34, followed by Kevin
Power in 29.14. Also well done to everyone who took part in the
Emer Casey 10k road race on Sunday 23rd of May on a very hot
day. Won't call out all the Youghal AC athletes who took part as
there are too many to mention which is great to see. It was great to
see so many Youghal people running for the first time and if any-
body is interested in joining the Youghal AC club all new members
would be graciously welcomed. Don't worry if you think you are
not fit enough, from looking at some of the finishing times you are
the same if not better than us so called athletes in the club (we are
only in it for the fun and to keep fit!)
Also a big thank you to all the emergency services personnel who
helped out on the day, all the people who tried to give out as much
water as they could and Jimmy Healy and his team of physio's for
the rub down afterwards. Everything seemed to go well on the day,
easily known there is a lot of time and organisation put into this as
it went so smoothly and it is appreciated by all us runners and
walkers. Here are the up coming fixtures: First up next Thursday
night 27th of May at 8.00pm we have the Ballyandreen 5 mile road
race the first of four of the 5 mile summer series.
The following night in Clashmore we have another 5 mile road
race at 8.00pm. The following Monday night the 31st May, there
is another 5 mile road race in Glanmire. Then you have the Cork
City Marathon on June 7th and best of luck to all competing. On
Tuesday the 15th June there is the famous John Buckley 5k road
race in the Marina in Cork City.
That's all for now and just to keep you informed there is another
road race to be held in Youghal it is a 4 mile road race and walk (in
aid of Marymount Hospice) if people would like to start training
now and I will have more details in the next issue.

enjoyable time as Kerry Rose.
Congratulations and Celebrations!
For 94 year old Hannah Aherne and her 60 or so club mates the
great highlight of their weekly social calendar comes each
Thursday afternoon when they catch the bus which takes them to
the local community hall in Kinsalebeg for their weekly get
together at the Thursday Club.
The Thursday Club was the brain child of the Kinsalebeg
Women's club - a small local group of local ladies who had
formed a social club in the year 2000.They saw a huge void
beginning to emerge in the parish for the actively retired. As
communities began to whiz by on their busy life styles nobody
seemed had time to talk or listen, many people began to become
isolated in their own homes especially the elderly. As the Celtic
tiger began to roar and volunteerism no longer seemed fashion-
able it became all the more difficult to generate support for the
huge project which this group were about to undertake. In 2002
despite the prospects of great personal financial gain from the
many employment opportunities available at that time twelve
volunteers headed up by chairperson Margaret Fitzgearld and
secretary Joan Curtin opted to give this time voluntary to a more
important cause and so the Thursday Club was born. Presently
funded by section 39 HSE Grant the clubs initial membership
was just ten, with transport to and from the club being a major
 WEST WATERFORD NEWS
issue for many. This co-inside with the formation of - The Deise
Link - a bus transport system set up to provide low cost public
transport service for people living in rural areas- Looking at how
this service would best serve the west Waterford community
local bus operators James O’Donoghue and his team Maurice
Fahy d. Mason Peter Deady and John Daly on hearing the plight
of many people needing transport to the Thursday Club and sim-
ilar gatherings in other communities met the Kinsalebeg
Community group to discuss the prospects and the rest is history.
We would like to sincerely thank these men for the wonderful
service they provide for our members it is very much appreciat-
ed.
As membership began to grow so too did the need for better facil-
ities and space and thanks to the wonderful help and co- opera-
tion of our Parish Priest Fr Maurice O Gorman who having ini-
tially given us the use of the local parish hall for our weekly
meetings- now gave the green light to our refurbishment project,
which began in 2007. With the aid of grants from Waterford Co
Council a fully equipped kitchen and wheel chair accessible toi-
lets were built draft proof windows and doors were fitted. Lotto
funding allowed us to install garden furniture and plants for those
who may wish to sit out especially our members who enjoy a
smoke this is a wonderful facility.
However its not just all about the Thursday club the entire com-
munity benefits, over the years Co Waterford VEC have very
kindly supported affordable classes and courses here for people
of all ages. More recently a grant from Waterford Leader
Partnership to purchase computers and printers and our first
classes are already underway. Having teamed up with the Co
Waterford Social Inclusion Group and the Co Waterford
Community Form we continue to expand our range of facilities
and services available to our members.
The story does not end there for the Thursday Club our most
recent undertaking is to compile a book - all our members are
presently recording their memories and later this year we hope to
compile a book which should be available for sale just in time for
the Christmas market. If what we have read so far is anything to
go by it promises to be a best seller!
Last week at the Tower Hotel Ardmore was all about celebrations
it is eight years since the Thursday Club met for the first time
they have climbed great mountains to get to where they are today.
Last November Co Waterford Community Forum and WLR FM
honoured the Clubs achievements by awarding them the "overall
2009 County Waterford Community & Voluntary Award".
Oliver Carroll and the WLR team from the outside broadcast unit
joined us to celebrate our 8th birthday live on air and present us
with our award. Our resident musicians and singers provided the
entertainment and Aidan and his team provided some great
refreshments and a great day was had by all. The Thursday club
acknowledged Oliver Coffey's help and support with a special
presentation of a beautiful painting by an upcoming local artist
April Curtin.
On a final note we acknowledge the wonderful work of the
Thursday Club team who make it all possible each week
Margaret O Keeffe Joan Curtin, Catherine Foley, Colette Foley,
Karen Byrne Gabriel Power Helen Collins May Murphy Peg
Wickham and Willie John Curtin - thank you all so very much for
providing this wonderful service in our community

ty to set up a Defibrillator facility in each village.
Training a core group within the community in CPR and in the use of
a Defibrillator, is the first and most important step in the process. Can
You Help?

Community Alert Committee:
We attended a meeting with Na Gardai and Muintir Na Tire recently
and heard that there has been an upsurge in crime in the East Cork
area. Some pointers -
Theft from Cars: Graveyards, Beaches and quiet car parks have been
targeted - Don’t leave valuables on view in parked cars. Take with you
or lock in the booth.
Agri-machinery: especially theft of trailers and horse boxes. Be vig-
ilant, and if you see something suspicious, call the guards.
Timely reminder to be mindful and watchful of your area, not all sum-
mer visitors are welcome. Please report any suspicious happenings to
the Gardai, take note of reg numbers of suspicious cars- no need for a
pen & paper - key number into your mobile phone - your piece of
information could be an important piece in the jigsaw of an investiga-
tion. Never put yourself in any danger - ring the Gardai; Youghal
Gardai: 024 92200, Midleton Gardai: 021 4631324
Gates: Close them – theft of home heating oil is also on the rise, if
your gate is closed its harder and not as quick for the thief to get to
your tank. – it will act as deterrent. If you are building a new house,
consider housing your oil tank, don’t make it easy for the thief. Know
your tradesmen, be wary of those with a price too good to be true on
a job. Don’t ever let anyone start a job you didn’t ask for. If you feel
threatened, go in doors and ring for help or press your panic button if
you have one.
***
Historical Committee:
We have one participant who works for 19.5 hours per week, Under
the Rural Social Scheme and administered by SECAD, last year the
project of clearing and giving easy access to Bohillane graveyard was
completed. The current project is at the small graveyard at
Ightermurragh. Work here is more visible, as the high exterior wall is
just off the Ballymacoda Ladysbridge road and has been repaired and
rebuilt.
In the graveyard up to the 1800’s there was a church, in this church
were two tombs of the Supple and Pittman families from
Ightermurragh Castle. When the roof was taken off the church in
1870, the tomb slabs were removed and brought to Cloyne Cathedral.
The outline of the church is still visible in the graveyard.
The wall is nearly complete, but work inside is only beginning, seeds
and acorns soon become trees in a forgotten area, so there is much
trimming and clearing to be done.
***
Clean Coast/Environmental Committee:
An Activity Day on the beach is planned for June, a day for us to
appreciate what is all around us - watch blcconline.com and local
Shops for posters.
***
Beach Clean UP: Sat 8th May 10am, we were on Ballycrenane,
Ballinwilling and Garryvoe strands for our annual Blitz Clean Up, no
matter how often we go out, there is always rubbish, some comes in
on the tide, more left behind by unthinking visitors, and sad to say
more just dumped!. We now have a FAS CE participant patrolling our
beaches to help us control the litter levels, which always heighten dur-
ing the summer months. Another night Blitz is planned for the
Ballymacoda side of the parish, watch shops, newsletter and website
for info. Help is always welcome.

Night by the Fire (Social Committee)
Hope you didn’t miss it … cause it was something very special.
Ballymacoda hall was welcoming, the cuppa’s and the glassa’s

before the music started! Na Cairde, Andy and Caitriona sat in the
corner and from the first chord played, the crowd were in the palm of
their hands,
Thanks to all who came and helped/contributed in any way to a night
of fun laughter dance and song, a night when we raised the rafters
from-Paddy McGinty’s goat- to the Old Woman of the Roads- to the
unique Bard of Ballymacoda Jack Walsh’s (Big Jack) the
Ballymacoda Jumble Sale, to What it might be like to win the Lotto-
it was a night that will live long in the memory of all who were there!
The Social Committee put huge effort into the night and intend to
repeat it in the Autumn.

We meet on alternate Mondays from Sep to end of Apr. in
Ballymacoda hall, have a laugh, bingo, crosswords, cuppa and enjoy

President Mary and her husband Martin.
Our annual ‘Break Away” was spent in Kerry, based in Tralee we vis-
ited Killarney, Dingle and it’s beautiful Peninsula, Adare and

Youghal Lawn Tennis Club
Emer Casey Foundation Fundraiser Tournament
Once again there was a fantastic response from all our members in
supporting this mixed doubles tournament which took place on
Thursday 20th May. John Hunt, chairperson extended a special
welcome to Juliette and Brendan Casey, parents of Emer and other
members of the Casey family. He remembered Emer as a great
junior and she has proved to be a great inspiration to our commit-
tee and members. He thanked Youghal Credit Union for their gen-
erous sponsorship and in particular Julie Ní Chomhraí, chairperson
of the Promotion and Development Committee, who presented the
prizes on the night. John had a special word of thanks for all those
who played for their continued support and also to those who con-
tributed the entry fee but did not play. We were limited to thirty
two players to facilitate the smooth running of the tournament and
to finish in remarkable time. John also thanked the organising
committee for their work in ensuring the tournament ran without a
hitch and for organising beautiful refreshments and prizes. Thanks
in particular to Linda and Frank and the other committee members.
Thanks to Ger Flanagan of Youghal News for taking photographs
and as usual for being patient and understanding. It was great to
see Ann Marie and Maura Casey ex Shanacool play again in this
tournament. They are great supporters of the event. Wedding bells
are in the air for their sister Marguerite who takes the plunge on
Saturday 19th June. She was also a valued member of our club.
Who knows she may return after her honeymoon.
Results: There were some great matches played on the night. It
was nice to record that twenty-one players who played in the
Spring Mixed Doubles turned out again for the Emer Casey
Foundation tournament. Four teams played on each court with
each team getting three matches. On court one the winners were
Susan Hamel and Brian Waide. Joint second were Linda
Donoghue and Coran Flavin and Maura Casey and David Keane.
David played some brilliant tennis on the night. On court two the
winners were Bridget Webb and Dave O'Connell. Runners up
were Ann Marie Casey and John Donovan who were just pipped at
the post for first place. Bridget Webb is the most improved player
in the club. She once again played to a very high standard. On
court three the winners were JJ Cooley and Anna Beresford.
Runners up were Brendan Reilly and Caroline Connolly. JJ is
proving a winner having won his section in the Spring Mixed
Doubles. On court four the winners were Paulin Griffin and Nik
Raicevic. Runners up were Jan Power and Kieran Dennehy.
Pauline and Nik had the highest score overall on the night.
Congratulations to you both.

YOUGHAL HANDBALL &
RAQUETBALL CLUB
Cronin Wins Novice Cup Over the past month we held the Novice
Cup in the Youghal alley. A record 17 players entered the tourna-
ment this year. After some great rounds we had the semi finals and
finals up in the alley on Wednesday 12th May. Up first on the night
we had the 1st semi final where Ian Ryan was up against John
Malone. Ian Ryan won this match on a 2-0 scoreline to book his
place in the finals. The other semi had Wayne Fitzgerald against Ian
Cronin. Like the other semi it was Ian that won through on a 2-0
scoreline also. The final was a great game as both Ian’s were play-
ing out of their skin. Ian Ryan is a specialist on placing the ball in
the front corners and he kept Ian Cronin guessing on his next shot.
However, the power and pace of Ian Cronin showed through and he
won through on a 2-0 score to take the title. Congratualtions to Ian
and all other competitiors!
Kilkenny Open Last weekend we had 5 players – John Malone,
Wayne Fitzgerald, Ian Ryan, Simon Primm & Keith Gallogley head
off to Kilkenny to play in the annual Kilkenny Open. In the Novice
D Singles John Malone & Ian Ryan won their opening games but
were knocked out at quarter final stage. Simon Primm made it
through to the semi final but his journey ended there. A great per-
formance for his opening competition! The four Novice players also
entered the C/D Doubles Grade as did Keith Gallogley with this
partner from Arklow. It is great to report that Keith & Pat won this
tournament. Congratulations to Keith on yet another success on the
Racquetball Circuit!!

 Youghal Camogie Club
U14's D League- 14th May Youghal 2-0 Castlelyons 0-1
This was a game that the Youghal girls had been looking forward to
since Castlelyons beat them 3 weeks ago.The girls have worked very
hard in training since and are improving dramatically.The game started
at a fast pace,with Youghal determined not to concede early,as had been
their downfall previously.They chased and fought for every scrap of
possession,with their backs Jessica O’Keeffe ,Niamh Crowley,Laura
Donoghue,Ciara Flavin,Aoife Siochru and Gemma O’Brien,backed up
by keeper Lauren Buckley repelling all attacks.In midfield Ameerah
Goggin and Sophie Monaghan fed the forwards,Sarah O’Brien,Aoife
M c Carthy,Laura Donoghue ,Zoe Goggin ,Aoife Daly and Tara
Clohessy OMahony with plenty ball.Although Youghal conceded the
opening point,the girls showed a great attitude to battle back with 2
great goals from Aoife Mc Carthy.Several subs were introduced in the
2nd half and Emily Roche,Amy Quirke ,Cassie O’Brien ,Aisling
Cremin,Janice Daly and Catriona Savage all played their part in resist-
ing a Castlelyons fightback.A very impressive showing from the
girls,lets hope they continue the good work.
Congratulations to our u14's who finished third in the county league,
next on the agenda is the Imokilly leagues which the girls are training
hard for with their coaches Julie Tracey, Mary Fox and Barry Goggin.
U12's D League Youghal 6-4 Sarsfields 0-0 @ home to Sarsfields on
Monday the 17th of May
From the whistle Youghal started off with a good series of play from
Catriona O'Keeffe & Emer Farrell resulting in a great point from
Shauna O'Connell from the 45 yard mark. Another long range shot saw
Shauna scoring the games first goal. The back lines rarely let the ball
past them in the first half with Louise Dempsey, Emer Farrell, Niamh
Roche, Laura White, Clodagh O'Keefe and Elizabeth Brennan all
standing strong to withstand the Sars attacks. Great skill from the half
forwards April Arthur, Shauna O’Connell & Aoife O’Neill saw plenty
of ball being fed into the full forward line of Erin Glavin, Ciara
Crowley & Lucie Sheehan at a fast pace resulting in great goals from
Erin Galvin and two from Ciara Crowley. Ciara followed up with
another great point and two long distance shots from Shauna O'Connell
brought Youghal’s score to 5-4 at the break.
In the second half Amy Herlihy was introduced into the forward line
proving she was a menace to the Sars back line. Lydia Blanke also cre-
ated a lot of goal scoring chances. Erin Galvin, Ciara Crowley & Chloe
Landers did trojan work to try and rack up a few more scores for the
home side and in the end the work paid off with a fine goal from Ciara.
The Youghal backs were busier in the second half and stayed strong and
composed to withstand the attacks. Niamh Roche & Louise Dempsey
made some lovely clearances into the half forward line. Ciara White,
Fidelma Flavin and Cameron Smyth,Megan Brophy, Aine Forest &
Ellen O’Brien also played a part in the Youghal win on the day. A great
team effort by the girls and all the hard work at training is paying off.
The U8 & U10 blitz is the next big event in the calender for the club
with all our young stars really enjoying their training sessions on
Tuesday nights The venue for the next blitz is Fr. O’Neills on Thursday
the 27th the Blitz starts at 6pm and will end at 7.45, all support and help
is greatly appreciatted on the day as there can be up to 30 children from
each club participating.
It has been quite for the juniors over the last couple of weeks as the
league has been postponed until after the exams, but that is not to say
the girls havent been training hard. They have played some challenge
games also to keep them on their toes and the girls are pushing them-
selves hard to improve on their skills with the help of their trainers Ken
Bulman, Ger Motherway and Eoin Siochru.
The girls are off to Watergrashill this weekend for their some team
building it is sure to be the highlight of the summer so far, pictures are
sure to follow on the clubs facebook page.
We would like to extend our congratulations again to Shannen Joyce
who has been selected for the Cork U15 panel, she went through a very
tough selection process of 3 trials, and the young talent was a force to
be reckoned with on the trial days, we are looking forward to her don-
ning the Cork colours again this year.
Well done to Aishling Siochru and Shiobhan Downing who took part in
the Emer Casey run last Sunday 24th they braved the heat wave and
raised money for an excelent cause. Great stuff girls
Happy birthday to Michael Dalton form all your friends at the club.

Decky Guckian League
Match report ~ Carrigtwohill & Midleton games
Youghals epic run in the Decky Guckian League came to an end with
two defeats in a week. First up were a classy Midleton side. Youghal
held their own for most of the opening period but in the end, they
couldn't get to grips with the Midleton lads and lost despite putting up
a brave battle. Next up was an away trip to Carrigtwohill who blew the
Youghal lads away in the opening period. It was a case of sink or swim
and the Youghal lads ran Carrig ragged for the rest of the match. But
too much damage was done in the first 10 minutes and Carrigtwohill
held on for a win.
The best of luck to both Carrigtwohill & Midleton for the remainder of
the league, any team that can beat this bunch of lads will go a long way!
Many thanks to the parents and supporters for all the miles they trav-
elled all spring and all the support they gave the kids from the sideline.
Most importantly, thanks to the whole panel of lads who gave every-
thing ever time they put on the Youghal Jersey. They now know that
they can compete at the highest level. Finally, thanks to Cian O'Connor
and the Glen Rovers club for organising the Decky Guckian League.

 Claycastle Pitch & Putt Club Captain's Prize 2010
Prizewinners in this year's Captain's Prize Competition at Claycastle Pitch & Putt
Club pictured with Martin Keohane Captain and Phil Mangan Lady Captain
Martin Keohane, Captain presenting his prize to Johan Brosnan
memory of the late Barry Kelly R.I.P. (E.S.B. and Ranges). Well done
Harry and to all who helped in the organising of this epic quest.
The Club Matchplay final was played on Thursday last between
Brendan McCaughey and Anthony O’ Loughlin. After an excellent
game Anthonycame out on top to claim the Matchplay for the first
time in 14 years. The presentation was held at ‘Farrells Bar
Summerfield’ who sponsored the competition where a great night was
had by all who attended. Result of fourball kindly sponsored by
‘Brookes Supervalu‘- 1st Nett- Seamus Murphy/John Wallace, 1st
Gross- Ed Long/Martin O’ Regan, 2nd Nett- Sally Wallace/Ed Long,
Drawn prize- James Howes. Colin Sheehan and Paudie O’ Sullivan
performed well recently at the St.Stephens scratch cup. Colin shot 95
(-13) for his 36 holes and won the best 36 prize while Paudie won the
final 18 with a blistering 42 (-12) where a putt for the course record
stayed agonisingly short on the lip of the hole on the 18th green. Gary
O’ Sullivan and Johan Brosnan also made the cut. Paudie also claimed
the final 18 prize at the Rocklodge scratch cup with a score of 48. Four
Claycastle players represented the club at the Cork Matchplay in
Collins at the weekend. Martin Keohane lost to eventual winner
Thomas Lynch in the first round. Also falling at the first hurdle was
Paudie O’ Sullivan who lost to brother Gary in a hard fought game,
Gary went on to reach the semi final where he lost to the excellent
Thomas Lynch. Anthony O’ Loughlin lost at the quarter final stage to
Ray Murphy. All in all a solid performance by the lads but the wait
goes on for that first illusive ranking event title. All the best to Colin
Sheehan and Paudie O’ Sullivan who take part in the Gents Munster
Matchplay at the Parteen course in Limerick this weekend. Next
weekend sees Anthony O’ Loughlin and Johan Brosnan play in the
Gents National Matchplay. Both players had contrasting fortunes in
the draw where Johan was handed a tough task against Tipperary man
John O’ Meara while Anthony will be expected to overcome the
unranked Anthony Mahoney of the Glenville club in Dublin. An excit-
ing couple of weeks ahead for the club where fingers crossed the first
major championship can be won by one of our players.

Phil Mangan (Lady Captain), Mr. Michael Farrell (sponsor), Anthony O’ Loughlin
(Winner), Joy Bryan (Chairperson) and Martin Keohane (Captain). (P: Thomas Bulman)
Our captain Martin Keohane’s prize was played for over the weekend
of 16th May. The members were out in force to support Martin who
hasgiven years of dedicated service to the club both on and off the
course. Martin plays a crucial roll in the running of the club with a lot
of his work done unassumingly behind the scenes and so it was right
that there were well over 200 cards played over the weekend. The ris-
ing star of Cork pitch and putt Johan Brosnan was the proud winner of
the magnificent prize. Johan recorded a new course record of 45 (-9)
on route to claiming his first major win in the adult ranks. The future
certainly looks bright for the man from the front strand and all the
hours of practice are now paying dividend. Hot on Johan’s tail was
another young gun James Howes, who finished just two strokes back
in second place. James won’t have long to wait for his first major suc-
cess.Results-O/A Nett- Johan Brosnan, O/A Gross- Anthony O’
