The Red Store to select our club's representative in the regional
final. The Regional Final will be held in Waterford, hosted by the
Waterford Rotary Club. Many Rotary Clubs from nearby areas
will form a 'cluster' and all the club candidates will go on to be
interviewed at WIT within the next few weeks. ur 'cluster' group
will have candidates from the Rotary Club's of Carlow, Clonmel,
Enniscorthy, Kilkenny, Portlaoise, Thurlas, Waterford,, Wexford
and ourselves....Youghal. Three winners and one runner-up will be
chosen from all the clubs present in our cluster area and will
secure a place with the national Youth Leadership Group travelling
to Strassbourg in February 2010.
A total of 24 Youth Leaders will represent Rotary Ireland at the
Euroscola sitting in Strassbourg on February 12th 2010, joining
many other European Rotary Club's and their teams.
Next February's trip will run along the same style and pattern as
previous years. All winners will meet for the first time in Belfast
and learn about government and culture in Northern Ireland, then
the group will travel to Dublin and learn about government and
culture in Southern Ireland before setting off for Strassbourg on
February 11th 2010 to present and debate our motions at

Seeds to Zambia Appeal
We need help sponsoring the postage of seed parcels to Zimbabwe.
Posting a seed parcel costs €17.00 per box.
Over the past two years we have been lucky enough to have had
vegetable seeds donated to us by local garden centres and hard-
ware shops who, with the permission of the seed manufacturer,
gave them to the Rotary Club instead of destroying them when the
Irish growing season had past.
What have we done with the seeds?
We had an appeal from the Rotary Club of Harare in Zimbabwe for
vegetable seeds 2 years ago and we sent them some. Only on see-
ing the results were we encouraged to get more seeds and do more.
The Harare Rotary Club distribute the seeds to many homes.
Melfort Farm, a home for elderly destitute former farm workers
rendered homeless and jobless in the Land Reform programme
were given some of the seeds and can help sustain themselves with
the produce. Harare Rotary began supporting this home back in
2002.
A children's home in Makumbi, a catholic mission located in
Chinhamora Communal Lands outside Harare is another recipient
with the mission embarking on an ambitious gardening project to
help feed the 120 orphans living there.
Another Children's home growing vegetables is the IMBA
Children's Home in Seke, 40km south of Harare. This home was
set up by a dutch couple and looks after orphaned children from
infants upwards that are either orphaned through parents dying of
AIDS or simply abandoned due to financial difficulties their par-
ents were having, they simply couldn't afford to feed the child.
Those of you with access to the Internet can look up
www.imbachildrenshome.com. However posting all the seeds is a
drain on our own finances and we do not want to withdraw our
invaluable support to these homes and more homes and recipients.
We have been so lucky to recently receive 126lbs of vegetable
seeds....free. Appox value €7,500 ...But we need help getting them
there. Can you afford to sponsor a parcel? €17.00 or even help
towards it? If you can please hand your donation in marked Rotary
Club Seeds to our meeting venue THE RED STORE and our
President Karen will be sure to get it. If you want your donation
acknowledged please put you name and address on it too. Please
Help, it will make a huge difference to more lives then you can
imagine. Many Thanks, Dorothy Heaphy PRO.

Few settings in east Cork offer
as divine a distraction from the
prevailing gloom of Ireland's
economy and climate than the
five-star Castlemartyr Resort.
Yet, it is not merely the sublime
splendour of 222 acres of ram-
bling landscape, with its sump-
tuous serenity, that impresses.
Nor is it merely the expansive
interior that carries style and
service to a new level of sensual
appeasement. There is all that,
but within the prevailing serenity, Castlemartyr Resort also leads
the way in lasting self-enhancement, through a physical fitness
centre the equal of any in Europe and beyond.
The Castlemartyr Health & Fitness Centre is 24,000sq metres of
excellence, embracing a spa, gym, treatment rooms and related
facilities, constructed and managed to the highest of standards.
Under the supervision of Cork man Jonathan Lee, the Centre is
currently accepting a limited number of new members. Those
committing to a year-long enrolment will enjoy exclusive access
to unrivalled training facilities, plus reduced rates pertaining to the
various spa treatments on offer.
On joining, every member is given a complimentary fitness
assessment, from which an appropriate fitness programme is
devised. "We accept all ages over 16, regardless of their level of
fitness," reassures Jonathan. "And the programme is reviewed
every four to six weeks."
CLASSES
Thereafter, one can choose and swap from training alone, availing
of a personnel trainer or attending a fitness class. The classes
include Aqua Aerobics (improves fitness of heart and lungs, while
reducing fat), Boxercise (enhances strength and co-ordination),
Pilates (promotes better balance, posture and a more defined
abdominal area), Yoga (treats joints, ligaments, muscles and the
inner self) Spin Cycling (benefits thighs, hamstrings and heart
while losing weight), Fab Blaster (concentrates on posture and
abdominal area), Bodyfit Circuits (improves fitness and strength)
and Tone 'n' Trim (addresses all problem areas).
GYM
Overseeing this domain, Jonathan, 26 and a rugby enthusiast is
well qualified. His credentials include an internation-
ally renowned Ace Certificate, as well as other
impressive recognised certificates garnered at home
and in America. "All our health centre staff are high-
ly qualified," he guarantees.
One might well anticipate that the combination of
high-tech equipment and highly-trained personnel
might engineer a sense of inadequacy in say, an over-
weight chain smoker keen to resurrect his life -if not
even save it! "We can devise a fitness programme for
any level," smiles Jonathan. "And we also offer
expert nutritional and physiological advice."
Membership extends, literally, far beyond the gym, with the
resort's grounds accessible for walking, running or jogging, alone
or accompanied by a trainer. It also includes use of the spa's 20m
by 15m swimming pool, with a depth of 1.5m, crystal-clear, ozone
(as against chlorine) treated water.
WATER LOUNGER
A hop, skip and jump from the gym (where Ronan O'Gara's size 8
boots from Munster's 2008 Heineken cup win hang encased), one
encounters the Water Lounger. Once lying prone on the pipes, bub-
bling water jets simultaneously raise and massage the user's body.
Afterwards, one can retire to the nearby sauna or steam room to
describe the experience to fellow aspirants. After which the tropi-
cal-scented shower may be difficult to decline!
Architecturally, the Centre's ambience mingles marble-effect walls
with tan floors and soft lighting which, allied to the wide-span
views, produces a zone that is both comfortable and casual.

Kenny's present show, 'I'm not says I … I'm Fine' heralds a return
to the type of work that made his reputation as one of the most tal-

temporary Ireland as the scaffold on which to build his hilarious
observations and characters. Running through such contrasting
experiences as supporting Munster rugby to visiting a health spa,
Kenny takes no prisoners and delights in emphasising the humour
in everyday 21-century life.

CHILDREN'S HOSPICE
On 29th September '09, the first sod on LauraLynn House, the first
Children's Hospice in the twenty six counties was turned.
LauraLynn House will be a true 'Home from Home' bringing com-
fort to many sick children and their families in the future. Eight
children and four families will be looked after at any one time and
the house will give choice around respite for the family as a whole,
home support, choice when the sad end comes, if home is not pos-
sible and aftercare for as long as the family wishes. As we say, it's
about 'Putting life into a child's day - not days into a child's life'.
I would also like to take this opportunity on behalf of LauraLynn,
to pass on our huge and heartfelt thanks once again to the Arnott
family, relatives, friends, neighbours, colleagues and all who have
been so kind and generous in their support of the Annual Coffee
Morning held by the Arnott's to raise wonderful funds for the
Charity for many years now. Many thanks.
Warm regards,
Jane

The Rising Sun Singles Rings Tournament 2009
Last weekend saw the first four games of the first round in this
popular tournament taking place in The Rising Sun. In the first
game of the tournament,
Pat Collins defeated Davy Foley in a Thursday night tussle. Then
last Sunday we had three games up for decision. In the first game,
Aggie Hurton defeated Barry Dunne by 2 games to 1 with a great
display that will mark her out as one to watch later in the tournna-
ment. Following this match we had one of the most exciting
games seen in a long time when Eileen Dower defeated local per-
sonality Declan Hickey by 2 games to 1 in a great game.
Following an erratic start, Eileen adjusted her playing style mid-
way through the game to brilliant effect coming from way behind
to defeat a nervous-looking Declan who will wonder how he man-
aged to lose this game. In the final game, Mick Costin defeated
Brian Dunne 2 games to 0 with some great rings being thrown.
And so the 2009 tournament is well underway. The organisers
would ask that people remember the €5 entry fee and also try and
play the games when they are requested to do so as we wish to try
and run the tournament off with as little fuss as possible. A few
people have expressed an interest in playing having not been
included in the draw and we will try to accommodate as many as
we can. Any questions or problems just contact John Veale on 087-
6722586, Barry Dunne on 087-6953648 or Christopher Coughlan
on 087-9803046.
A very special mention this week goes to the organisers of the
Doubles tournament during the early part of the year who very
generously donated the proceeds of the tournament to the
'Thursday Club' in Kinsalebeg. The 'Thursday Club' is run by the
Kinsalebeg Community Group under the guidance of Joan Curtin
and others and they have an ongoing dedication to the Senior
Citizens in their community. It gives almost 60 Senior Citizens an
enjoyable and affordable day out each week on a totally voluntary
basis The group won two Waterford Community and Voluntary
awards last week for their efforts and have to be commended for
the brilliant work they do. Last Sunday night, the organisers pre-
sented €820 to Helen Bradley of the 'Thursday Club', a generous
donation and much appreciated. So a big thanks to John Veale,
Liam Troy, our resident referee Seamus Troy and Colette
Beresford for their work in running this tournament.

GARDA
CRIME REPORT
By Christy Parker
Last weekend's CRY Garda report reflected on a relatively quiet
week in the Youghal area. Sergeant John Sharkey told presenter
Pat O'Reilly that gardai are keen to trace a black Opel estate that
left a filling station without paying for petrol on Wednesday
November 18th. The foreign-registered car has been involved in
similar incidents previously. Sergeant Sharkey gave the reg num-
ber as "something similar to 7766 FMY
Last Friday night (November 20th), at about 9.30 pm, the Half
Way bar on the Tallow Road was victimised by a group of drinkers
who seem to have absconded with several a bottle of spirits. It was
reported that the group, who had been drinking in the bar, lifted
the liquor from behind the counter.
Breath testing
The garda warned people to be extra vigilant in the run-up to
Christmas, both in regard to their personal possessions and to sus-
picious activity in their environment, which he recommended they
report to the garda station on 024-2200.
He also advised that gardai will be increasing their random breath
testing in the coming weeks. Sergeant Sharkey stressed that while
"some people get upset by the random process, its part of the over-
all, deterrent effect, with a little old lady driver as likely to be test-
ed as anyone else." He added that the message is likely to be
spread by those who do get tested, again proving its value as a
deterrent. "We have had about five or six such checkpoints autho-
rised by the Superintendent in the area in recent times but that will
rise as we approach Christmas," he stated.
Other vehicle-related incidents during last week included four
minor accidents and two cars seized for not having tax or insur-
ance under Section 41 of the Road Traffic Act.
Community garda
The sergeant said that, following interests from several parties, the
internal recruitment of a full-time Youghal Community Garda,
saw Garda Peter Queally selected for the post. "He has begun
attending community events from last Monday, including the
Residents Network," he explained.
Community Alert meetings
Sergeant Sharkey concluded his report with a reminder that the
Community Alert initiative will hold its AGM on Tuesday
November 24th. This meeting will see officers elected and he
hoped there would be an appropriate good attendance.
Dwelling on the issue a little, the sergeant said the hour-long
monthly public meetings provided an update on what is and has
been happening in the area. It also offered a forum whereby ques-
tions and concerns can be addressed directly to the gardai on mat-
ters of crime and community. "We are as open to criticism ads any-
thing else," he assured. "It's all about improving public safety and
if we have to improve, we will do so."
He then illustrated the intrinsic value of the meetings by recalling
one local man testifying that he had not realised what went on,
including the work undertaken by gardai, prior to his attending the
meetings. "So it's a learning experience at the very least,"
observed the sergeant. The AGM takes place at 8pm in the Walter
Raleigh hotel.

Safety first when buying toys Footwear Fitting Specialists
"What should I look out for when buying toys?"There are various
safety regulations about toys sold in the EU. These offer some
protection to consumers - and to the children who will be using
these products - but remember that safety
standards alone can't guarantee the
safe use of toys. That's where com-
mon sense comes into play. Carefully
examine any toy you buy. Bear in
mind that a gift to an older child can
sometimes prove lethal in the hands
of a smaller child. Always respect
age warnings (for example, "Not
suitable for children under three
years old"), and any instructions or
advice on safe use of the toy.This
means, for instance, that a
chemistry set intended for a
10-year-old shouldn't be
given to a three-
year-old.

instill in residents of the town in a bid to generate jobs and busi-
ness in the area.
The Chamber has launched their new Shop Local campaign which
highlights the reasons for supporting local business in the run up
to Christmas.
If we all make an effort to support our own business community,
more good things will happen to the town where we live.
They include protecting local jobs and creating new ones,
strengthening the local economy and building community spirit as
well as the future of Youghal.
The Chamber has created a poster reminding citizens of the town
to support their shops. The message will be on display throughout
the town over the coming weeks. People are being encouraged to
keep whatever money they can spend in their own home town.
Youghal is a great retail town - you can literally get everything you
need in Youghal. There are also retailers to suit every type of cus-
tomer - local producers, traditional family businesses, neighbor-
hood stores that stock national and international brands. It's all
available in Youghal.
The Retail sector in Youghal is also a massive employer, think of
all the shops you know and when you start adding up the numbers
of staff you realise that retail is one of the major employers here in
the town. This makes it all the more important for us to support
jobs by supporting local retailers.
 CHRISTMAS SHOPPING IN YOUGHAL
When you spend money locally it has a big impact, Youghal
shops employ local people who spend their wages locally in
other shops and businesses which pays more wages and so
the money keeps flowing around the local economy.
Any retailers interested in getting a poster to display in their
window and to support the shop local campaign can contact
Youghal Chamber at 024-92447.
As part of the "Shop Local" campaign Youghal Chamber of
Commerce are also promoting the very successful Youghal
Shopping voucher
Youghal Shopping Voucher Scheme was set up by Youghal
Chamber as an incentive to help to keep business in the town
by supporting local businesses and therefore creating more
employment.
This has been a great success to date and has been running
for a number of years, spending has increased in Youghal as
a direct result of the Chamber Voucher Scheme.
In the current economic climate we understand the impor-
tance of keeping business local and you can help by choos-
ing a Youghal Shopping Voucher as your gift to family,
friends or employees this year.
For businesses Gift Vouchers are a great way of motivating
and rewarding employees and are particularly effective
when used as part of bonus and incentive schemes. They are
also tax free
Personal Gift vouchers are generally more popular than
presents or cash. This is because finding the right gift can
sometimes be very time consuming and difficult to get right.
The best gift is often one chosen by the individual recipient
themselves. A Chamber Voucher can be redeemed in any

Know Your Rights
Question
Before I lost my job earlier this year I received my wages month-
ly. I'm now getting a social welfare payment weekly and find that
this is making it more difficult for me to manage my household
bills which come every two months. Is there a way to make more
regular payments for my ESB and phone bills?
Answer
If you are getting your social welfare payment through the post
office, you can take part in the Household Budget Scheme. Under
the scheme, you choose a fixed amount to be deducted from your
payment each week and this goes towards paying your bill from
the ESB, Bord Gáis or Eircom. You can also use it for local author-
ity rent or mortgage payments. It is intended to extend the scheme
to include other telecom and utility bills.
You can take part in the Household Budget Scheme if you are get-
ting Jobseeker's Benefit, Jobseeker's Allowance, Back to Work
Enterprise Allowance, Back to Education Allowance or Back to
Work Allowance. The scheme is also available to those getting a
social welfare pension, a carer's payment, One-Parent Family
Payment, Disability Allowance, Supplementary Welfare
Allowance or Farm Assist.

Anniversary Mass on Sat. 5th Dec. at 6.30pm in
Our Lady of Lourdes Church, The Strand.
You can choose to have up to a quarter of your social welfare pay-
ment deducted. The minimum deduction you can choose depends
on the type of bill; for Eircom and ESB, for example, the mini-
mum is €3.50.
The scheme is operated by An Post. You can get an application
form in your local post office or online at www.anpost.ie. You
complete this form for each eligible bill you want to pay and send
it to the following address: Household Budget Scheme, Freepost,
An Post, GPO, Dublin 1. If you want to change the amount you
pay each week, you can do so by completing a form with the new
amount and returning it to An Post. You can also get further infor-
mation from An Post online at www.anpost.ie, at the address
above or by phone on 1800 70 71 72.

HELP WITH WASTE
REDUCTION INITIATIVE
First European Week for Waste Reduction 21st – 29th Nov
Cork County Council are working with the Environmental
Protection Agency and a number of other organisations to encour-
age behaviour changes to promote waste reduction in Cork as part
of the first European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR).
The EWWR is part of a three year project supported by the Life+
programme of the European Commission which will run until
2011. The idea is to raise awareness about waste reduction strate-
gies and to encourage behaviour changes to promote more sustain-
able consumption and production.
As part of EWWR there are over 31 different events planned dur-
ing the week in different location around Ireland. The following
are some of the events planned in Cork:
Seminar: Food Waste Prevention Opportunities in the Catering
and Accommodation Sector at Midleton Park Hotel.
For more information on these events contact Mary Stack:
mary.stack@corkcoco.ie (021 4532722) or for information on
other events in Cork log onto www.ewwr.ie.
All events are designed to highlight the ongoing work being done
on waste prevention and resource efficiency by a variety of organ-
isations. It is important to realise that this week is not solely about
recycling but is focussed on waste reduction.

POBALSCOIL NA TRIONOIDE
DEMONSTRATE THEIR
PASSION FOR FASHION
IN AID OF CHARITY
Over 70 Transition Year students from Pobalscoil na Trionoide in
Youghal are hosting a Fashion Show in an effort to raise much
needed funds for the school and two worthy causes Muscular
Dystrophy Ireland (MDI) and local charity The Emer Casey
Foundation. Beautiful Cork Rose Amy Moran will compere the
evening which will take place in Pobalscoil na Trionoide on
Friday the 27th of November commencing at 8pm. All fashion on
the night is kindly supported by local boutiques and retailers in
Youghal. Tickets are €10 each and will be available on the door.
According to Joe T Mooney Chief Executive Officer, Muscular
Dystrophy Ireland " We are delighted that the pupils from
Pobalscoil na Trionoide have chosen Muscular Dystrophy Ireland
to be part of this unique event to raise much needed funds for peo-
ple with muscular dystrophy and also for The Emer Casey
Foundation". Mooney added that "through the kind support and
fundraising efforts of all the teachers and pupils in the school MDI
hope to increase the awareness and understanding of the muscle
wasting condition in Cork & Waterford".
Muscular Dystrophy Ireland is a voluntary organisation that pro-
vides support and information to people with neuromuscular con-
ditions and their families through a range of support services.
These services include: family support, youth support, respite
breaks, youth camps, transport, information and production of a
newsletter.
Sylvia Pearson and Jeni Dorrian Transition Year Coordinators,
Pobalscoil na Trionoide said "the pupils have worked extremely
hard over the last few months planning and organising for this
event and we are delighted to have the opportunity to support both
a national and a local charity. The fashion show will be a spectac-
ular evening of entertainment and glamour, and promises to be an
enjoyable event for the whole family.
Proceeds from the evening will be used towards the provision of
Muscular Dystrophy Ireland Respite Support Services which the
charity strives to provide to 530 members nationwide. The respite
service provides a break for both carers and members: it is short
term care that helps a family avail of a break from the daily rou-
tine and stress. MDI aims to provide short term respite for mem-
bers with muscular dystrophy and their families when required in
order to maintain physical and emotional well being.

BOYS U/13 - FEARGHAL CURTIN AND BILLY DUNNE
WIN INDIVIDUAL MUNSTER AND GOLD CORK
MEDALS
A group of athletes from the club travelled to Tralee Racecourse
to compete in the Munster Uneven Ages on Sunday 8th
November. Underfoot conditions were very mucky and the course
was very difficult. However our athletes did very well and we had
quite a few newcomers competing who did very well.
Girls U/9 We had three athletes competing in this race and all dId
very well. Ciara Leahy came close to winning an inter county
medal finishing in 40th place. She was followed by Caoimhe
Barry in 48th place and Breffni O' Hanlon in 72nd place. All these
girls look forward to competing in the Munster Bs in Tipperary
with their clubmates on 29th November next.
Boys U/9 These lads ran brilliantly all finishing so close together
making fantastic team scoring winning Gold Club medals. Jake O'
Brien had a magnificient run to finish in 3rd place very close to
the two lads ahead; he was the first scorer for his club team and
also for the Cork team. Peter Buckley came 6th and was the sec-
ond scorer for Cork. Jake McCarthy came 16th narrowly missing
out on a Cork medal. Matthew Cody finished in 17th place. Well
done lads on a brilliant win!
Girls U/13 We had a new team competing in this age group which
finished 8th out of 16 teams. All of these girls show lots of poten-
tial and we have two new runners with only a few weeks of train-
ing who competed.
Rebecca Walsh had a great run to finish in 30th place and thus
qualifying to run on the Cork team in the All Irelands in Coleraine,
Co Derry on 6th December. She was followed by Emily O' Keefe
in 42nd place, Katie Nolan in 48th place, Rachel Dunne in 69th
place and Lauren O' Mahoney in 78th place. Rebecca, Katie and
Lauren will compete in the Munster Bs also in Tipperary.
Boys U/13 Fearghal Curtin and Billy Dunne competed extremely
well in the Boys U/13 race. Fearghal was running up an age man-
aged the tough conditions well finsihing in a strong position and
was the first scorer for Cork who won the inter-county competi-
tion. Billy finished in 10th place also winning a bronze individual
medal and a Gold Cork team medal. Both of these lads have now
been selected to run on the Munster and Cork teama in the Uneven
Ages All Irelands in Coleraine in December. Well done!
Boys U/15 We had two lads competing in this age group Adam
Malone and Sean Hennessy. Adam Malone showed significant
improvement finishing in 42nd place and Sean Hennessy in 59th
place. Adam was 11th for Cork thus narrowly missing out by one
place to get selected on the Cork team for Coleraine. Both of these
lads will also compete in the Munster Bs
Girls U/17
We also had a club team in this race which finished 5th missing
out by one point to qualify for the All Irelands. Ciara Broderick-
Farrell had a great race being the first scorer for the club team in
19th place narrowly missing out on a Cork medal. She was fol-
lowed by Aoife Walsh in 22nd place having her first run for the
club, Emma Flavin in 27th place and Patricia Curtin in 34th place.
Ciara Broderick-Farrell, Aoife Walsh and Emma Flavin all quali-
fied to run on the Cork team in Coleraine.

 A record breaking month
for Youghal Racquetball
The last few weeks have been hectic but rewarding to say the least
for the Youghal Club. First up in the calendar was the Munster
Junior Championship. Competing in this we hade Killian
McCarthy in the U13’s and Keane McCarthy in the U11’s. Both
players have been training hard and with some long coaching ses-
sions being put in with Keith Gallogley they were both heading off
looking fairly sharp. One can say that the training hours in the
court reaped dividends as both players returned with Munster
medals. Killian won a Munster U13 Bronze medal and his broth-
er Keane won a Munster U11 Silver medal. Huge congratulations
are due to both players! Keane with his Silver medal has now
qualified for the All Ireland’s that are being held in Fermoy over
the weekend of 28th & 29th November. We encourage those
available to travel to please make the short trip to Fermoy to sup-
port Keane.
Next up was the Ballinrobe Open. Anxious to follow up his form
from the Kilkenny Open last season was Keith Gallogley. Keith
entered in his new category as a ‘D’ player. He also entered the
Open section. In the open he did well to win through to play a
tiebreaker game before losing out in the first round. However, in
the D section, he did much better and after a long day of racquet-
ball was happy to be through to play in the semi-final on Sunday.
He continued to play well on the Sunday where he won his semi-
final in a tiebreaker match. That afternoon he played in the final
and again found himself in a tiebreaker game. Keith was on top
of his game, he won the tiebreaker and it is great to report that
Keith won the D section and is now promoted to the C section and
amongst some of the elite racquetball players in Ireland. Well
done Keith!
Last weekend we had two teams head off the Kilkenny to play in
the National Club Championships. Teams were to have a mini-
mum of two and a maximum of four players. Each team would
play two singles and one doubles game in each round. Games
were two matches with each match won scoring the team a point.
In the unlikely event of a draw it is the team with the most aces
that go through. The Youghal Teams were as follows: Team
Cuchulainn – Jody Cooper & Trevor Gallogley, Team Platinum –
Olan McCarthy, Ian Ryan, Michael Pierce & John Kenefick. Both
teams have been in training for the past few weeks and combina-
tions of tough ladder & winter league games had all players sharp.
First match started at 9pm on Saturday, by 7pm we had both teams
through to the semi final. Fortunately they were not up against
each other!! Team Cuchulainn did great and were the first through
to the final, things did not go so good for Team Platinum and their
days games were ended at semi-final. In the final Team
Cuchulainn (Jody & Trevor) were up against a four man team from
the home venue, Kilkenny. After the six final matches it was
drawn at 3-3 for each team and it was up to the referee to count
back the aces. The air was tense to say the least and it was
Kilkenny who claimed top spot on a margin of 1 ace more than the
Youghal team. It does not get much closer than that. But is it
absolutely great to note that coming back to the Youghal Club we
have National Club Championship Silver medals with Jody
Cooper & Trevor Gallogley and Bronze medals for Olan
McCarthy, Ian Ryan, Michael Pierce & John Kenefick!!
Of particular mention we must congratulate Ian Ryan, Michael
Pierce and John Kenefick as this was their first time playing rep-
resentative racquetball for the Club – here’s hoping your future
competition’s are as rewarding – I reckon there is a big assault on
the ladder planned – watch out all!!
Finally I would like to report that the Winter League has been up
and running for the past few weeks. A total of 24 from the 128
games have been played. So it is still early days but already com-
petition is fierce as players are going flat out in their games. The
schedule is posted in the alley and we ask that players try to keep
to the schedule and get their games played for the deadline as we
need to get the Cup and Plate competitions started in the new year.

Renovation work has begun on the showers and the mens shower
has been complete and looks great. The ladies is planned to be
complete in the coming weeks.

KILLEAGH GAA Club
JUNIOR A FOOTBALL LEAGUE FINAL:
Glenbower Rovers 4-08 Lisgoold 0-08
Our footballers ended the year on a winning note in Pairc Ui
Chinneide, Killeagh on Sunday evening by winning the Patrick
O'Mahony Memorial trophy. Both teams had an outstanding sea-
son, both unbeaten in the league. That was until the final game of
the season. Poor weather conditions hampered what should have
been a good game of football. But credit to both sides for an enjoy-
able game of football so late in the year. Lisgoold opened the scor-
ing but points from Joe Deane and Ger Collins and goals from
Andy Walsh and Joe Deane saw us go in at the break 2-4 to 0-5.
Lisgoold hit a purple patch in the opening of the second half
notching up another 3 points which could have been more except
for some great defending by our defence. Then we found a rhythm
again. Some well executed points from Padraig McCarthy, Joe
Deane, John O'Connor and Stephen Murphy extended our lead
before Brian Collins goaled twice to put it beyond Lisgoold's
reach. Joe Deane accepted the trophy on behalf of Glenbower
Rovers. Congratulations to all involved, silverware for the dinner-
dance.
LOTTO: There was no winner of the lotto on the 16th. The num-

UI6 FOOTBALLERS ARE COUNTY CHAMPIONS 2009
Youghal 2-7 v Carberry Rangers 1-4
The Youghal U16 Footballers finally got to play the County Final
on Sunday last after winning a toss for home advantage when no
other pitch could be made available for the tie but those of the two
Clubs involved. The visitors started the brighter with a near gale
at their back and raced to a 2 point lead and were rampant with
nearly all the ball. Youghal were finding it very difficult to get out
of their own half but with Ross McCarthy playing a free role to go
where he liked picked up a lot of possession in the opening half
and on a break up the field kicked a super point to get Youghal
going. Tragedy then struck when a long ball floated all the way to
the back of the Youghal net and the lads looked in trouble. On
another break mid way through the first half, good work from
David O'Mahony on the right saw him round his marker and drive
a ball across the box for the flying Stephen Sheehan to bury the
ball to the back of the Carberry net. Youghal followed this with a
pointed free from the boot of Ross McCarthy again, and closed out
the half looking the more likely. Carberry could not get to grips
with the wind at their backs and ball after ball was kicked out of
play. Thehalf time score read 1-4 to 1-2 to the visitors and feelings
were that this should be close enough for Youghal to overcome in
the second half.
Youghal U16 Football Team
The second half started much like the first with Youghal cutting
the Carberry defence to ribbons and were back level within two
attacks with the pick of the scores from Cillian Ansbro who cut in
from the wing and from a very tight angle and under pressure man-
aged to find the target. Youghal gained the lead with a superb point
from Aaron O'Connor which was followed by another from Aaron
Daly from all of 45 yards out. Cillian Ansbro again found his
range driving straight through the middle and pointing to leave

battled hard against the odds and
almost goaled with only minutes
left on the clock and Youghal
were having some difficulty
clearing the ball. When they did
however they always looked
dangerous and when Aaron Daly
sent a long ball into the box
everyone missed it including the
Carberry Keeper and the ball
nestled in the corner of the net to
break the hearts of the visitors
and send the large crowd wild in
the knowledge that the cup was
staying in Youghal. The final
whistle saw great scenes of jubi-
lation from all concerned and the Youghal Captain Aaron Daly receiving
large Youghal contingent. Aaron the cup from Tony O’Mahoney
Daly accepted the Cup on behalf
of his team mates and the lads huddled up and sang "up the
Youghal boys" to the delight of the assembled crowd. Agreat sea-
son for the lads and their mentors with a league final still to play
and well done to all involved. Football in Youghal is firmly back
on the map.

Youghal Girls Dig Deep
For Great Win
Youghal Utd. 3 - 1 Richmond.
Youghal United U-12s moved into third place in the table after
this win against Richmond. This was a terrific encounter with both
defences very strong limiting both strike forces to a handful of
chances. Youghal started brightly and two weaving runs by Holly
Twomey almost paid off but the Richmond centre-half gave the
Youghal striker close attention. The number nine was is typical
form and a constant menace to Richmond. However, the visitors
took the lead when a long ball through the middle allowed the
Richmond to latch onto the ball and slot it past Stephanie
Fitzgerald. Youghal responded well and with the visitors under
pressure in their own area the ball fell to Lynda Galvin who struck
a strong shot into the corner to give Youghal a well deserved
equaliser. It was Lynda’s second goal of the season and she is play-
ing better in every game. Confidence was now restored and it was
inevitable that Holly Twomey would turn the game in Youghal’s
favour. With Richmond high up on the halfway line they were
caught by the striker’s pace. A through ball was beautifully
touched on by Amy Benaim and Holly was sent clear. Her finish
was coolness personified. As the keeper advanced Holly slotted
the ball between her legs and turned to celebrate before the ball
had crossed the line. The prolific striker now has eight goals in
four games. Richmond began the second half determined to draw
level. The pressure brought the best out of the Youghal defence.
Deadline extended for
2009 /2010 AIB Better
Ireland Programme
Applications
182 main AIB branches have €10,000 to share between three
local projects that help children
AIB Bank has announced that the deadline for applications for
funding from the 2009 /2010 Better Ireland Programme is to be
extended until Friday 27th November. The extension will allow
more local children's projects the possibility of a share of the
€10,000 funding which will be awarded from their local AIB
branch. The project in first place following the voting stage in the
New Year will receive €5,000, second place €3,000 and third place
€2,000 so there is more incentive than ever for projects to get
involved in this year's programme.
Applications are open to all projects dealing with children includ-
ing schools, clubs, community groups, charities, and special needs
groups. Applications must be submitted online at www.aib.ie/bet-
terireland by the extended deadline of Friday 27th November.
In 2010, the AIB Better Ireland Programme will be donating €1.82
million to deserving local projects for children.
This year, the funding will be divided between three short listed
local projects so each group will be guaranteed a share of the fund-
ing. Throughout the country, each of AIB's 182 main branches has
€10,000 to award to short listed projects that help children in its
community including those who support children with physical,
sensory and intellectual disabilities, children who are socially dis-
advantaged, and in addition for 2009, groups that support children
suffering from terminal and chronic illnesses.
When the applications for funding close, a short list will be drawn
up for each branch by the local team and everyone in the local
community will be invited to vote for the most deserving project
and will decide who is racked in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Votes will
be cast by sending in a text message or voting online during the
voting phase in February and March 2010.
So don't delay, get on-line today, and register your local children's
project on www.aib.ie/betterireland.
For other queries, call the Better Ireland Helpline on 01 772 5514.
Stephanie Fitzgerald was called into action several times and the
keeper grew more confident as the half went on with some great
handling and clearances. Both Catriona Savage and Zoe Goggin
were outstanding in their defensive duties in keeping Richmond
out. For long periods it looked like Richmond would secure a
draw. Aoife O’ Sullivan, Lynda Galvin and Amy Benaim worked
extremly hard in midfield and all Youghal required was one break-
through. That moment came with about 10 minutes remaining. Zoe
Goggin defended brilliantly before breaking into left midfield.
Holly Twomey moved into space on the flank and Zoe’s through
ball found her breaking free. The Richmond keeper advanced out-
side her area but Holly went around her with a gorgeous swerve
before hitting a great ball across the area. With a single Richmond
defender chasing back to prevent the ball crossing the line it was a
race between her and Zoe who had kept running forward. Zoe beat
the defender for pace and struck the ball confidently into the cor-
ner to seal the win. Everyone put in
great performances to win this tough contest and Youghal are now
two points off the top spot with a game in hand. Best performers
were Holly Twomey, Stephanie Fitzgerald, Zoe Goggin, Amy
Benaim, Aoife O’ Sullivan, Lynda Galvin and Catriona Savage.

Aura helping people fight
the recession blues
People looking for a way to keep themselves motivated and posi-
tive in the face of these tough recessionary times need look no fur-
ther than Aura Youghal Leisure Centre.
In recognition of the increased financial strains that many people
are now experiencing Aura Youghal have introduced a number of
membership offers to allow people to maintain their fitness rou-
tines at a price they can afford.
“People are naturally more price conscious during a recession and
we are committed to ensuring that anyone who wants to keep up
their exercise routine can continue do so at an affordable price,”
explained Tracy Kenneally, Operations Manager at Aura Youghal
Leisure Centre.
The recent ‘99’ special membership offer is proving to be a huge
success and the initiative has generated much positive feedback.
“We would like to encourage people who want to start exercising
to become a member so anyone who signs up for 99 days member-
ship will only have to pay €99. This price includes free health
screening and fitness assessment,” Tracy added.
The centre has also introduced a new initiative which allows all
members visiting its gym and pool facilities to bring one friend for
free on each Friday during November and this offer will now be
extended to December.
“We see no reason why exercising with friends can not become the
new alternative to coffee mornings or a night out at the pub. It is
healthier, it is fun and it is cheaper all round and we have received
a great response since we launched this initiative at the start of the
month,” Tracy continued.
“At Aura we understand that people are finding it increasingly dif-
ficult to keep up their health and fitness routines. In order to
encourage people to stay positive and active we have introduced a
number of membership offers which allow people to work out at a
cost they can afford,” explained Tracy.
“Everybody knows the importance of exercise. A healthy body is
a healthy mind and staying positive and motivated about all
aspects of your life should be the top of the agenda for everyone”
explained Tracy.
Further information about the special membership offers taking
place Aura Youghal is available by contacting reception at 021

HARNEY PRESCRIPTION CHARGE
WOULD SINGLE OUT THOSE
LEAST ABLE TO PAY
STATEMENT BY COUNCILLOR DONIE DALY
Labour Councillor for Youghal - Friday, 20th November 2009
The indication by Health Minister Mary Harney that the
Government is thinking of slapping a charge on patients for every
item they receive under the GMS scheme is a clear indication that
they are determined to ensure that those who can least afford it,
will bear the greatest burden when it comes to resolving the crisis
in our public finances.
Labour accepts that there is a massive problem that needs to be
addressed and that a budgetary gap of €4bn will have to be closed
YOUGHAL CHILDREN EARN
THEIR SWIMMING STRIPES
AT AURA
Parents who want to give their children the best Christmas present
this year need look no further than Aura Youghal Leisure Centre
who have the perfect present solution with their choice of Aura
swim lessons. The Aura ‘Swim Academy’ provides swim lessons
for children of all ages and abilities and offers the best introduc-
tion to swimming for youngsters who may have never learned how
to swim before.
“Swimming lessons can make the perfect Christmas present for
children. What better way for parents, aunts, uncles and grandpar-
ents to give them a gift which is both practical and enjoyable.
Learning to swim has become hugely popular with children, not
only because it is an essential skill but because of the enjoyment
factor as well,” explained Tracy Kenneally, Operations Manager at
Aura Youghal Leisure Centre.
The Aura ‘Swim Academy’ caters for children of all abilities with
8 different levels which range from the beginner’s level the
Turtles, right up to the most advanced level the Sharks. The under
4s are also catered for in the ‘Duckling Classes’. The lessons offer
children the opportunity to have fun and build their confidence in
the water over a 10-week period.
“Each child who enrols in the academy will be assessed and
assigned to a class which reflects their ability instead of their age.
In this way, they will be learning alongside swimmers of the same
standard and progressing at their own pace,” added Tracy.
The next course of the Aura ‘Swim Academy’ gets underway on
Tuesday, January 5th. Enrolment costs €69 for the ten weeks and
includes a free skills assessment. Early booking is advised to avoid
disappointment and there is 10% discount for families who sign up
two or more children.
The value of teaching children to swim from an early age is top of
the agenda at Aura where parents can choose to enrol their chil-
dren in a variety of courses which teach their children the impor-
tance of swimming and water safety.
The ‘Rookie Lifeguard’ Bronze course is perfect for any child
interested in lifeguarding or in learning life-saving skills.
“A lot of work goes into ensuring that the course is both education-
al and fun. The Bronze Level teaches students the basic principles
of water safety and essential life saving swim strokes while also
helping them to identify pool and water aids,” explained Tracy.
“The ‘Rookie Lifeguard’ is an excellent learning course as it helps
improve children’s swimming strengths and at the same time
equips them with skills which could help them to save a life,”
added Tracy. The next ‘Rookie Lifeguard’ Bronze course com-
mences in January and will give youngsters the opportunity to
learn about water safety. This ten week course is aimed at children
aged 8-16 years and costs €80. Further information about the Aura
‘Swim Academy’ and the ‘Rookie Lifeguard’ course is available
by contacting reception at 024 91614.
this year, but we do not accept that those who are least well off,
such as people who are on the GMS scheme, should be forced to
shoulder the burden.
The best way to make savings is the greater use of generic, non
branded drugs which are far cheaper and will avoid targeting the
least well off.
A charge such as the one suggested by the Minister today, will
simply mean that those on the lowest incomes will be singled out
and forced to pay what amounts to yet another stealth tax.
Labour believes that any additional revenue raising measure to be
included in the forthcoming budget should be focused on those
who can most afford to pay. For starters, we believe that there
should be a third rate of tax for those on earnings of over
€100,000, a proposal that the Government appears to have dis-
missed out of hand.
