 400,000 in Funding set to
Boost Youghal's Marine
Infrastructure
Youghal is set to receive a major boost to its marine infrastructure
with the announcement that 400,000 has been made available to
fund remedial works at Youghal Harbour in 2009.
In welcoming the announcement from the Maritime Transport
Division of the Department of Transport, Town Clerk Liam Ryan
commented that the works were essential in protecting the fabric
of the harbour.
"Despite serious financial cutbacks across all Government
Departments we are delighted to have secured this level of fund-
ing for Youghal Harbour. We will now be in a position to repair
the inner and outer walls of the pier head as well as repair works
to the northern corner of Greens Quay."
Mr. Ryan went on to point towards the remedial works being the
first serious step in the development of the tourism potential of
Youghal Harbour which would in due course follow on with the
development of a marina in the Harbour.
Funding for the works will be administered directly by Youghal
Town Council and it is understood that works will get underway
without delay. The resources available for expenditure on region-
al harbours have been concentrated on essential remedial works
with Youghal deemed a priority by the Department of Transport.

POBALSCOIL NA TRÍONOÍDE
YOUGHAL WINS MILLIPORE
EAST CORK SCHOOLS
SCIENCE COMPETITION
Students from Pobalscoil Na Tr no de Youghal were recently
crowned winners of the 2009 Millipore East Cork Schools Science
Competition. Aisling N Shiochrœ, Adam Daltœin and Aisling N
CholmÆin faced stiff competition from four other schools but their
project on What s in our water impressed the judges with its
depth of research and the quality of its science.
I think it s great that competitions like this are available for stu-
dents, said Aisling N Shiochrœ. It helped open our eyes to the
huge range of areas where science is relevant. By leaving the
choice of project up to us, Millipore allowed us to look at areas of
science we were interested in, helping to make some of the things
we learned in school a bit more real.
The competition was open to all secondary schools the East Cork
region and could be on any topic that the students were interested
in. The projects, which had to be the students own work, covered
areas from water quality to the impact of hot tea to lasers. Mr. Don
Spicer, from the CIT Department of Chemistry, and Nigel
Williams, Site Director of Millipore Ireland B.V, were the judges
for the final.
The judging this year was very tough, with five excellent projects
covering a variety of different topics, said Nigel Williams. Both
Mr. Spicer and I have been very impressed at the level of work and
the quality of the science displayed by all of the teams in the final.
It s our hope that by helping these students see the different areas
where science affects their lives, we can develop their interest in
pursuing science as a career. Judging by the quality of the projects
we ve seen over the course of the competition, the future of sci-
ence in Ireland is in very safe hands.
5 East Cork schools took part in the competition, which featured
heats in individual schools. The winners of each heat made it
through to the final. Each team in the final received vouchers,
while the winning team received a specially commissioned crystal
trophy plus a top of the range computer and printer for the school
and vouchers for each team member.

The evenings Mass was truly a memorable occasion, from the
carefully chosen readings to Most Rev. Bishop Lees sermon in
which he praised the parishioners of Knockanore, Glendine and
Kilwatermoy for their great sense of community. The choir most
certainly added to the overall joyous atmosphere within the
church. The gift bearers, readers, altar boys and girls and each
member of the clergy all contributed to creating a Mass that made
one feel like they belonged and had a strong sense of community.
Our local musicians created a wonderful atmosphere while walk-
ing from the church to the hall. It helped to overcome the cold in
the air and enjoy the procession with a sense of anticipation for
what awaited. As the crowd made their way into the bright, wel-
coming and beautifully laid out hall, the stewards were efficiently
motioning people to seats or standing room with the children being

beginning with Most Rev. William Lee to bless the hall.
Mayor of County Waterford Dr. Tom Higgins was next to speak.
He spoke of the importance of community and the great welcome
people talk about when they visit the towns, villages and commu-
nities of County Waterford.
Brian Crowley M.E.P. was next on the list of speakers. He spoke
freely and openly while quoting poets and yet took time to look up
at the children on the balcony. He urged all adults to do likewise
as he said that we are always looking down on them and it is nice
to look up at them for they are Nthe adults of the future. Again, the
theme of community ranN through his eloquent speech. He then
pulled the red curtain to unveil the plaque and pronounced the hall
officially open.
Fr.Pat Condon then took to the podium and praised the work of

asked the bishop to make sure he could stay.
Next to speak was our own Councilor James Tobin. Again, he
praised the work done by all and was delighted to have helped. He
thanked most sincerely all who played a part in making it possible
and expressed that his next wish for the parish was an all weather
pitch.
When Mary Herlihy introduced the final speaker of the night she
spoke passionately and with great honor called on the Chairman of
KGK Community Hall, Michael O’Neill. There was rapturous
applause and a standing ovation as he took to the podium, for he
was the driving force behind the acorn of an idea which grew to
the great oak that is the KGK Community Hall. He recalled how
the project began and the numerous people involved in making it
a possibility. He was overwhelmed as he spoke of the support from

speech. Both he and his wife Cathy were then presented with a gift
of appreciation for their commitment to the project.
Finally, it was time to enjoy the scrumptious delights that many of
the ladies of the parish had prepared for us. The selection and pres-
entation of food was second to none. Take a bow ladies - a job well
done. Our local musicians once again created a lovely atmosphere
as the crowd mingled, enjoyed the company, admired the hall, new
stage and a slide show of various work stages of the hall. The chil-
dren were treated to goody bags and it must be noted how well the
children behaved on the night. As the crowd slowly dispersed and
the night drew to a close, the dishes were washed, the chairs
stacked and a sense of contentment and relief was felt amongst the
organizers as the evening had fulfilled all expectations.

Youghal Mayor launches
70 mile Charity Cycle.
On Saturday 16th May seventeen cyclists were sent on their way
from Youghal Leisure Centre on a seventy mile circuit by Deputy
Mayor, Mary Linehan Foley.
The Cycle went through towns and villages in East Cork includ-
ing Fermoy Carrigtwohil Midleton Castlemartyr Killeagh and
back to Youghal. Tough uphill climbs into driving rain were taken
in their stride by this dedicated bunch of cyclists who make this
trip annually to raise awareness and more importantly money for
deserving charities. The cycle is organised by Muintir na Tire and
this year the proceeds will be distributed between the Royal
National Lifeboat Institute, the Irish Guide Dogs and St. Raphael s
Hospital Youghal. Brian Fitzgerald played a major role in getting
the cyclists organised and in managing to get them fit for the trip.
Marian Mariga, SeÆn Murphy, Denis Kelly, Pat Kirby, Finbarr
Motherway and a St John’s Ambulance Team made up the support
crew on the day. Collectors in the various towns along the way
played a most important role. Welcome refreshments were provid-
ed in Fermoy by the local Town Council; Mayor Tadhg

commitment on such a bad day.
Eleanor Geraghty and Annette Lane of the local Community
Council also provided much needed refreshments for the cyclists
in Carrigtwohil.

POBAILSCOIL GROUP
FOR AFRICA
By Christy Parker
A party of eight from Pobalscoil na Trionoide are set for ultimate
field trip when they depart Youghal for a three week visit to Africa
on June 6th. Six students and two teachers will fly out to
Johannesburg for three days before continuing their adventure
onwards to a meeting with the Lesotho Royal Family before
spending time amongst the impoverished people of Swaziland.
The group consists of teachers Hazel Anragaib, Maggie Cronin,
Transition year pupils Ciaran Shaughnessy and Ross McCarthy
and 5th year’s Sally Flanagan, Nicola Daly, Cliodha Cotter, Aine
Bulman, Bronagh Shuel, and Kate Mulcahy.
Besides their diplomatic endeavours the Pobalscoil pioneers will
take time to enjoy visits to a theme parks and safari, where they
can compare the native wildlife to that of in their home class-
rooms.
The final destination is Swaziland, another landlocked terrain.
There, they will witness at first hand the work of Fr. Mulcahy
amongst some of the planet’s most impoverished and unfortunate
people, in a place where recession is deeper and more lasting than
Ireland will ever know. They will enter orphanages where 70% of
the children are HIV positive. Their gifts of textbooks, t-shirts,
toothpaste (courtesy of Colgate), toothbrushes and sports medals,
amongst other materials, will represent their school’s and their
town’s solidarity with fellow humans who maybe a world apart but
deserve just a short distance within the heart. It should be a mem-
orable three weeks on both sides of the divide.

Seated: Hazel Ni h-AnragÆin, Ross McCarthy and Maggie Cronin. Standing Sally
Flanagan, Nicola Daly, Cliodhna Cotter, ` ine Bulman, Bronagh Shuel and Kate
Mulcahy.

The project evolved when religion teacher Hazel contacted Fr.

Martin Mulchay, a Cork-born priest teaching in Swaziland. Fr.
Mulcahy is Hazel’s former teacher in Copsewood College, Co.
Limerick. "I saw it as a chance to travel out there so we can see
how our less fortunate counterparts in the world live," Hazel

explains.
Hazel ran the idea amongst Transition and 5th year students and
the travelling group subsequently emerged. While paying their
own air fares, their various fundraising efforts have raised over
5,000 as a donation to Fr. Mulchay’s education projects. "We ran Summer Offer
pizza days, basketball and football tournaments, bag packing at
SuperValu and Flanagan Print donated us sponsorship cards, For the Guys
Hazel recalls.
Most exciting of all was a ’Pobalscoil’s Got Talent’ show," Hazel
proceeds. This brought the entire school into the project, @ 3 per
entry and resulted in First Year student Ellie Budds claiming the Hoody
top prize of 100 through her impeccable and unmatchable piano
playing and song. She’ll no doubt tour Africa when she hits the big
time!

other projects all around the country are being halted we here in
Youghal managed to secure funding for this facility. We look for-

Speaking about the project, RAPID co-ordinator Jennifer Ring

that is really valued by children".
The facility will have top of the range equipment, and the new
’coloured wet pouring surfacing’ will be durable but also visually
impactful. Equipment will include a wide range of climbing units;
designed to truly challenge older children, the ’Whizzer’; used by
one or two children simultaneously, to slow down or spin faster
and ’Springers’ for younger children. The facility will also host a
number of high swings with flat and cradle seats, interactive play
panels, telescope tightrope walk, hanging bubbles with noises.
Traditional games such as ’hopscotch’, compass, number games
will also be available. Cork County Council has donated a ’Birds

 Feís Chíll Cóírne Youghal Bay Bridge Congress
Kilcorney Feis (Feis Chill C irne) will be holding its 100th Feis
event on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st of May 2009. All events
will be staged in both the local community hall and Primary
school. This happens to be very convenient for both competitors
and organisers as both buildings are side by side. This arrange-
ment has worked extremely well over the past number of years
and the organisers are privileged to have such facilities. This event
is historic being the 100th Feis since it’s foundation. At this stage
I would like to make reference to the history of kilcorney Feis
Kilcorney Feis (Feis Chill C irne) was founded in 1910 by Liam
Buachalla and a large group of willing helpers. It has the proud
distinction of being held every year since, usually on the last
Sunday of May. The Feis in Kilcorney, as in other places, grew as
part of an overall strategy to prevent the Irish language from
becoming extinct. The census of 1891 showed that less than
700,000 Irish speakers remained in the Country at that time. The
Congress President Sally Barry, CBAI President Martin Hayes with the winners of
figures caused an alarming realisation that something had to be
the Congress Teams, Jeannie Fitzgerald and Danny Liddy
done. In 1893 a small group of dedicated patriots got together in
Dublin and formed the Gaelic League. Amongst them was Dr.
Douglas Hyde who was later to become President of Ireland. It’s
aim was to alert people’s awareness to the importance of keeping
the Irish language spoken in Ireland.

This year the Feis will run over two days Saturday 30th and
Sunday 3st of May.
The programme of events this year are as follows.
Saturday 30th of May 2009.
11am. A vitage rally comprised of tractors and cars starting at
Howards Cross and proceeding to the church grounds.
11.30am Millstreet Pipe Band will perform as the vintage rally
approach the church grounds
12noon Official opening of the Feis by Liam O’Buachalla son of
the late Sean.
This will be followed by Singing , recitations and music compe- Winners of Intermediate Teams, Gerry Stack, Ollie Reilly, Sally Barry, Ann O’
titions in the school. Grady, CBAI President Martin Hayes and Ted Long
Sunday 31st May 2009
10am. Dancing Competitions for Figure, Solo and set dances
in the community hall.
Various side shows all day Sunday to include Bouincing Castle,
Face painting, Balloon artists, to name but a few, so overall a great
day’s Family entertainment to be enjoyed.
8pm. A remembrance Mass will be held in St Nicholas Church
Kilcorney for all those involved in the Feis down through the
years, followed by a Ceile dance in the community hall with music
provided by Heart to Heart formely Sheila and Southern Pride,
Refreshments, Barbeque and a full Bar will also be available on
the night.
Hot Food and beverages will be available on both days provided
by Lemon Catering
So Come along and be part of this wonderful historic event.

Historic Day for Youghal
Athlete - Nikita Savage
At the Munster Pole Vault
Championships held in C.I.T Cork on
Sunday the 24th of May, Nikita
Savage became the first Female Pole
Vaulter in Ireland ever to achieve the
European Youth Olympic qualifying
standard of 3.30 metres. Over the last
number of weeks Nikita has competed
around the country in a bid to achieve
the EYOF standard and each time has
moved a step closer to that goal. She
has progressed from her opening com-
petition of 3.00 metres as a guest at
the University Championships in
Limerick, to 3.10 in the Munster Junior Championships in Cork
on the 4th May and cleared 3.20 metres on the 10th May in the
County Senior Championships. On Sunday morning last in ideal
conditions she realised her goal.
Nikita opened the competition with a first time clearance at 2.80
metres and also cleared 3.00 metres on her first attempt. Nikita
then asked that the bar be raised to the 3.30 mark. Nikita knocked
the bar on her first attempt and again on her second attempt.
Taking a few minutes to compose herself and on her final attempt
Nikita cleared the 3.30 metres to great applause from the watch-
ing crowd and athletes.
The height had to be verified by the field referee and following the
formalities the qualifying standard was ratified to joyous celebra-
tion from Nikita the athletes and spectators present.
The bar was raised to 3.40 metres and Nikita knocked it on her
first two attempts but came so close on her 3rd attempt to clearing
it when she was over it she barely glanced it off with the hand.
Nikita’s clearance of 3.30 metres today set a new Munster U18
record raising it from the old standard of 2.60. It is also a New
Munster Junior U20 record and it is the third time this year she has
broken the Munster Junior U20 record.
Having achieved the EYOF standard Nikita now must wait to see
if she will be selected on the Irish team to compete in the EYOF
championships in Tampere in Finland. Regardless of selection on
the Irish team, Nikita’s achievement of being the first Irish Female
to Dermot Ginty
Pole Vaulter to get the European Youth Olympic qualifying stan-
dard is an outstanding achievement for such a dedicated athlete,
and shows the quality and ability that Nikita possess.
Nikita has done what the selection criteria required by jumping the
3.30 standard and we all hope that the selectors see fit to pick her
for the Irish team so she can compete against the best in Europe in
her age group.
Also at the Munster Championships today Emer Kelly finished
second in the U18 competition with a new P.B of 2.20 and has
improved consistently over the last number of competitions.
Lee Curley in his first ever Munster Championships won the Boys
and Declan O’Keeffe U15 competition with a new P.B of 2.20 to take the Gold. Lee has
only taken up Pole Vault recently and has made very good
progress

Novice Cup Final; After a schedule of 18 matches we were final-
ly ready to have the final of the inaugural Novice Cup. In the ear-
lier stages we had the Winter Plate Finalists Brendan Mackey and
Michael Pearce knocked out, we had Jody Cooper lose out nar-
rowly in the quarter final. We had SiobhÆn Downing upset many
of the men by knocking them out only to lose in the semi 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.
We would also like to thank the players whom assisted with the
refereeing 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. We have played through 12 of these 20 matches
and have confirmed 7 of the 8 quarter final matches:
Wayne Fitzgerald vs.Andrew Gallogley
Keith Gallogley vs. Barry Goggin
Michael Pearce vs. Tom Buckley/Jody Cooper
Brian Fitzgerald vs. Olan McCarthy
Next round of games is scheduled for Thursday, 28th May. As
usual games begin at 7.00pm, all are welcome to come and sup-
port.
Spring Ladder; The Spring Ladder continues to run well and
there is much interest for the coveted top positions. Keith
Gallogley has made significant progress has entered the top 5 on
the ladder. After some difficult challenges from Dwaine O Shea
and Olan McCarthy, Wayne Fitzgerald still holds the number 1
slot. Current ranking is as follows: 1. Wayne Fitzgerald, 2. Olan
McCarthy, 3. Andrew Gallogley, 4. Dwaine O Shea, 5. Keith
Gallogley, 6. Barry Goggin, 7. Liam Joyce, 8. Stuart Hickey, 9.
Michael Pearce, 10. Colin Kennedy
Interest has been so much in this competition that we have decid-
ed to continue this on through the summer to keep players interest
levels.
Blackwater Challenge; We have been talking to local Clubs,
Touraneena and Fermoy and we will be holding a challenge com-
petition whereby we play each club on a home and away basis
with a final for the top two ranking clubs. Teams will be made of
6 players, with 4 games each night and each player must play a

TRIONÓIDE ATHLETICS
Munster Schools Championships, University of Limerick
On Saturday 16th of May last, four athletes from the school made
the trip to Limerick to compete in the Munster Schools
Championships. On a day when weather was more like winter,
with wind, rain and cold conditions which made track and field
competitions extremely difficult for all the athletes.
The school had three athletes competing in the Pole Vault, Lee
Curley, Emer Kelly and Nikita Savage. Adam Aherne competed
in the Triple Jump. In the Junior Boys Pole Vault competition Lee
Curley was competing in his first schools competition and opened
at 1.50 metres and cleared 1.70 and 1.90 and was unlucky at 2.10
on his last attempt went clear, to have the pole knock the bar.
In the Senior Girls Pole Vault Nikita Savage won the Gold medal
with her clearance of 2.90. Nikita opened the competition at 2.70
and then cleared 2.90, with a slight break in the rain Nikita tried
for 3.30 but with the conditions against her and a severe cross
wind to contend with she failed at the 3.30 height. Nikita’s clear-
ance of 2.90 metres set a new Munster Schools Record bettering
the old mark by 30 centimetres.
Emer Kelly finished third in this competition, Emer opened at
1.50 and cleared 1.90 and 2.10 metres to take the Bronze medal
and will make her first appearance in the All Ireland Schools
Championships in Tullamore on the 30th of May.
In the Junior Boys Triple Jump Adam Aherne finished 3rd in what
was a very tough competition with only a few centimetres separat-
ing a number of Athletes for 3rd place. Adam jumped consistent-
ly through the competition and secured his medal with a jump of
10.59 metres which is a new PB for Adam and a place in the All
Ireland Final.
Special thanks to Mr Raicivic for his organisation and preparation
of the athlete’s for the competitions.

AAI Senior Games, Athlone
Nikita Savage represented Youghal Athletic Club in the AAI
games in Athlone on Sunday 17th May. The AAI games are a sen-
ior competition for Senior Athletes to start off their season. Nikita
having competed the previous day in Limerick in the Munster
Schools Championships, where she set a new Munster Schools
record of 2.90 metres in dreadful conditions.
Lucky enough over head conditions in Athlone were dry and with
a tail wind made it easier for the Athletes, Nikita opened the com-
petition at 2.90 and cleared it on her first attempt. The bar was
raised to 3.10 and Nikita knocked it twice before showing great
charter in clearing it on her final attempt. The bar went to 3.30 and
Nikita decided to get a 12’ 6" Pole and try her luck on a new Pole
which she never taken off on before. She took off three times and
was most unlucky on her final attempt, when she caught the bar on
the way up. In all her three attempts she was well up over the bar
and just needs to fine tune the position of the uprights. Nikita fin-
ished second in the competition.

EX-LORETO STUDENTS ON colours, how to

ECUADOR CHARITY VISIT

By Christy Parker
Three former Loreto students will put the fundraising finish to an
African mercy mission when they host a table quiz night at the
Usual Place next Thursday (May 28th) night. Deirdre Fitzgerald
from Inch, Susan Cronin from Ballyhubbart, and Katie Murray
from Youghal hope to add to their funds for a trip to Ecuador,
where they will spend three weeks assisting Youghal priest Fr.
John Keane’s efforts to alleviate poverty in the slums of Ecuador’s
capital city, Guayaquil (population approx. 2m). They depart on
June 6th. The three, all aged 21, forged their friendship when
Loreto convent classmates. The friendship has subsequently
endured through various charity initiatives as well as the J1 Visa
program that brought them to California last summer.
The girls are currently studying for final college exams. "Deirdre
is in her third year in Occupational Therapy in Galway, Katie has
just finished third year Architecture in UCC and Susan is doing
her finals in Social science," explains Katy’s mum, Anne. Outside
college, Katie and Susan work at Gazebos and Deirdre in nearby
Glendonagh nursing home, Dungourney, from which their respec-
tive employers have given them leave for their venture to Ecuador.
In many ways the trip extends the ethos of their former school,
where they participated gave of their time to causes like cancer
research, the St. Vincent de Paul, the Cope Foundation and local
charities. The inspiration for the Ecuador arose when Deirdre’s
aunt suggested her niece soothe her itching feet by visiting Fr.
John’s mission. Katie, who is John’s cousin, hitched her wagon to
the idea and Susan quickly followed suit. The trio’s fundraising
has been brief but phenomenally successful. In a matter of weeks,
a cake sale at the Holy Family Church and a bag pack at
SuperValu raised over 2,500!
A major focus of the priest’s work in the urban slums of his adopt-
ed home, is a food and clothing program, whereby he distributes
two week supplies of bulk food fortnightly. About 2,000 feeds
2,000 people for that period. He also organises school breakfasts
and basic medicine supplies, as well as a nutrition programme for
malnourished babies. The Youghal visitors will spend their time
"handing out food, medicines, bedding and so on," says Anne.
Meanwhile the quiz night helps pave the way. The night will con-
sist of "any number of teams" @ 30 per team and quizmaster will
be the all-knowledgeable Jim Furey. The interval will include a
raffle and a short DVD display on the Guayquil mission.
Organised by Willie Maloney and Tommy Roche, an 80’s disco
will add further lustre to the occasion. All starts at 8pm.

Paula trained as an Image Consultant in Belfast and has loved
every minute of her career so far. Speaking with enthusiasm and
passion about what she does, you can’t help yourself from asking
more and wanting to bleed her dry of knowledge!
"The programme I have set out for the camp is fun, educational
and hands on. I really want the girls to get stuck in and know how
to do things for themselves as opposed to me talking and demon-
strating for the week. Throughout my school days and indeed still,
I find the best way to learn is by doing. On the last day the students
will host and participate in a catwalk event for their family and
friends, From make-up to styling to sound and stage production!
A professional photographer will be on site to get head shots of the
girls having done their own photographical makeup, hair and
styling."
Having been in so many stage productions around the world and
now with Paula’s knowledge of Styling this camp will truly be a
unique opportunity for any person attending.
"The modules are very varied, with makeup tutorials, mock inter-
viewing, body & fitness awarreness, deportment, styling, personal
colour, event management and so much more. I have wanted to do
this for a long time and now is the right time. More than ever, it
is of upmost importance for people to have that edge needed to
succeed. So we find ourselves in an economic down-turn, let’s
start making provisions for a better future with the youth of today."
As her camp catch phrase states; "Shaping the bright’s of today for
success tomorrow!" Don’t miss out on this opportunity.

INTERMEDIATE HURLING LEAGUE
TRACTON 2-11 V YOUGHAL 4-15
A top of the table clash between Youghal and Tracton in Minane
Bridge saw Youghal come out tops after a very hard fought contest
despite what the scoreline might say. Youghal had to defend for
long periods in the opening half as Tracton aided by a gale force
wind attacked at will. All seven defenders had to be at their best
and were, as Tracton piled on the pressure. On any breakouts,
youghal looked lively up front and Eoin Coleman kept Youghal in
touch with some fine scores from play and from the dead ball.
James O’Mahony was making a nuisance of himself along side
Eoin and between them bagged 4 goals from the game. Nigel
Roche and Damien Ring were locked in a dog fight at midfield and
eventually broke the Tracton resistence and took control which
propelled Youghal to a very strong finish. Bill Cooper showed how
he can dominate a game at centre forward but it has to be said this
was a true team performance from a very committed Youghal
Team against a very strong Tracton Side.
Team: R. Cunningham, C. O’Laochdha, V. Murray, M. Cronin, A.
Murphy, B. Coleman, B. Ring, N. Roche, D. Ring, B. Moloney, B.

INTERMEDIATE FOOTBALL LEAGUE
YOUGHAL 0-10 V KINSALE 2-4
Hard to describe this one, Kinsale arrived in Copperalley the only
unbeaten side in the league but Youghal were on top early on and
but for some wayward shooting could have had a nice lead after
the opening quarter. Kinsale once settled showed indeed why they
are unbeaten with a fast flowing style of football moving the ball
into their full forward line quickly which paid off as they goaled
twice. The youghal defence were under a lot of pressure but cope-
ing well and showed good determination getting in vital touches
and blocks and it is a credit to them that Kinsale only managed 6
scores for the hour despite having the lions share of posession. The
second half saw Youghal become more economical with the ball
and Paul Moylan got his shooting boots on and notched up 5 points
to steel a point. Next up is Delaneys in the Championship on
Saturday Evening next in Carrigtohill and the selection committee
have their work cut out after Brendan Coleman limped off with a
hamstring injury and Paul O’Driscoll being unavailable.

Late of Summerhill, Kinsalebeg, Youghal

In silence of a May morning, you heard a gentle call,
You took the hand of Jesus, and quietly left us all.
You suffered much in silence, but your spirit did not bend,
You faced each day with courage, and smiled right to the end.
We recall to mind the way you spoke, and all the things you said,
Your strength, your stance, the way you sang, remember those instead.
The happy smile you always had, and eyes that shone with laughter,
So much of you will never die, but will live with us forever.
Always remembered with love from your wife Breda,
in-law Patsy and grandchildren Daniel & Christine.

Dear Heart of Jesus, in the past I have

a special one, (mention here). Take it Dear
Heart of Jesus and place it within your
own Broken Heart, where your father sees
it. Then, in his merciful eyes it will
become your favour, not mine Amen.
Say this prayer for 3 days, promise publi-
cation, prayer and favour will be granted
no matter how impossible. Never known
to fail.

Youghal Golf Club would like to congratulate Edel and Julie for
winning the Munster Schools Championship 2009,senior section, in
Charleville on 20th March. They came 4th in the National Finals in
Edmondstown in April. We would also like to acknowledge the
great privilege it is for Youghal Golf Club to have members from
our Club selected for the U18 Munster Interprovincial Girls team.
This was held in Woodenbridge on 17th April. Edel and Julie did
us proud again on this occasion, even though Ulster won Munster
came a very close second. We were also very proud of the fact that
our own Junior Officer, Eileen Farrell was Manager of that Munster
team. Eileen has been involved with Junior Girls for many years
and gives freely of her time and energy to encourage them as much
as possible.The twins are great ambassadors for Youghal Golf Club. Group Photo of the winners of the Old Thatch prizes with Sponsor John represent-

Julie Coyne won the title of Munster Champion 2009 in Shannon on
10th April. The last time this Trophy was won in Youghal in 1995
by Jean Farrell who was also a junior. This competition is run
annually by the ILGU and is a prestigious competition in the
Munster calendar. There were 111 competitors in this year’s compe-
tition so winning this was no mean feat. All her matches were hard
fought.

opens extension in Clonpriest NS Youghal
The extension to Clonpriest National School in Youghal adds a
modern new dimension to a school that’s over 100 years old,
according to the Minister for Education and Science, Batt O’Keeffe
TD. Speaking at the official opening of the extension, Minister
O’Keeffe said: ’I’m delighted to open the new extension comprising
two classrooms, administration office, principal’s office, staff room
and link corridor. ’The old school has also been revamped to the
highest health and safety standards. ’My Department awarded the
school over 940,000 in two grants to cover the cost of the whole
project which was completed last September. ’I want to pay tribute
to everyone involved in the project which adds a modern dimen-
sion to a school that dates since 1902. ’I’ve no doubt that future gen-
erations of teachers and students will benefit from today’s invest-
ment which demonstrates the Government’s commitment to the
built environment in schools.’The Government is prioritising the Minister for Education and Science, Batt O’Keeffe TD with Clonpriest NS teachers

a record spend in any one year.
The target for this year for both primary and post-primary schools
is 9,475 permanent places in new schools, 3,900 permanent school
places in existing schools and refurbishments to benefit over 2,400
