Well done to the U15 footballers who were deserving winners in Rathkeale in the County Final against Kildimo/Pallaskenry on Friday night last.
Unfortunately the girls weren’t as lucky on Saturday evening when they played Monagea in the County Final – however it was great to have got this far.
Best of luck to all those receiving their Junior Cert results today, Wednesday.

What glorious weather we are experiencing at the moment – everyone has “a spring in their step” – the ditches are drooping with lovely blackberries which, incidentally, I’ve recently read are extremely good for you along with blueberries and other purple fruits. They reduce cholesterol, high blood pressure, cysts and growths, polyps and swollen lymph glands, so get out there with your kids and grandchildren and get “blackberry-picking like everyone did before” and enjoy the benefits of this free fruit.
