U17
Áth an tSléibhe 0-4 Drom/Broadford 4-10
This was or final group game against one of the top teams in the group played in Dromcollogher. After three wins in a row, we were hopeful of pushing them all the way for the last remaining place in the county championship semi final. We were dealt a blow before the game with two of our players out injured and another sick, which weakened our hand somewhat. Despite conceding an early goal we competed well for the first quarter, working very hard and matching our opponents all over the field. but gradually they began to get on top as we tired. The boys tried their best right to the finish in what was a difficult night. Beidh lá eile againn.
We finished the league programme in joint 3rd place with Croom and St. Kierans, so a play off was required to see which two would go through to the County Div 2 shield semifinal. We were drawn against Croom, which was to be played last Sunday morning in Glin, but we got a walkover, so we are straight into the County semifinal. We will be playing the 4th place team in Div 2b, but we have no date yet. Training is continuing.Foireann v Drom/Broadford.

PARISH: Confessions: Moyvane Saturday 6.45pm to 7.15pm. Eucharistic Adoration every Tues. after 10.00am Mass to 11.30am. The Pastoral Council met on Wednesday evening where its constitution was considered and approved. This is a guiding document to enable the Council to be more self-directing in accord with diocesan norms. It should enable the parish to assume more responsibility for Church-related matters. Some discussion on the mode of collection followed and it was agreed for now to continue to have baskets in prominent places inside the church doors. Please do not see non-passing of baskets as an indication that we do not need contributions. We do. We remain however jittery in the face of the Covid situation at the onset of winter. Consideration of energy use followed. It was proposed that we reduce the number of Masses from 3 to 2; Knockanure 7:30 (Sat) and Moyvane 10:30 (Sunday). Because some such arrangement is likely to come from the diocese soon, we did not come to any conclusion. It was also suggested that we heat sections of the churches (Moyvane especially) for weekend Masses. This was considered but it was agreed that this might not be appreciated though it may be a more responsible way ahead. It was however proposed at the Tuesday and Thursday Mass in Moyvane that heating would be confined to the front of the altar area.

SCHOOL: An education study considers whether it’s better to group students based on ability (e.g., all gifted students in one class) or to employ “a cross-sectional grouping strategy where equal groups are formed, composed of individuals of varied aptitudes.” The researchers were led by University of Rochester neurology professor Chad Heatwole. “We showed that, mathematically speaking, grouping individuals with similar skill levels maximizes the total learning of all individuals collectively,” Heatwole said. “If one puts like-skilled students together, instructors can teach at a level that is not too advanced or trivial for the students and optimize the overall learning of all students collectively regardless of the group.”

QUEEN: David Lyle Jeffrey, now a distinguished senior fellow at Baylor’s Institute for Studies in Religion, noted that he has never considered himself a “royalist,” but the queen’s death is certainly a time to explore the “essence of her admirable Christian character and gracious reign.” The former Baylor provost and literature professor entitled the poem “Regina Exemplaris (Queen of Patterns).” Here is how it ends:
… She who longest wore the heavy crown
Knew but to kneel before the unseen throne
And plead her people’s cause as for her own,
And there to praise the Lord of All, bowed down,
More conscious of his glory than her high acclaim,
Exemplar thus in worship, in praise more worthy of the Name.
SAINT Pio of Pietrelcina, popularly known as Padre Pio, grew up in southern Italy. At the age of 15, he joined the Capuchins and was ordained in 1910. Feast was on the 23rd September.

DEATH: 1974-03-02 Irish People- page2
Cumann na mBan Death The death of Miss Nora Buckley, late of Patrick Street, has removed from Listowel one of the town’s most popular citizens. Nora was a member of an old and highly respected family which could lay claim to a rich national tradition. Her recent retirement from a business which she had shared with her sister, Tessie, who survives her, had surely been enlivened by memories of the grim and colourful experiences which she had shared with so many other Irish girls during the war of independence when she played an active role as a member of Cumann na mBan, attached to the North Kerry Brigade. The funeral following Requiem Mass celebrated in St. Mary’s Parish Church was a splendid tribute to her memory. She is survived by her sister, Tessie Buckley, Mrs. Conlen, Boston, Rev. Laurence Buckley, USA, Rev. Lawrence Goulding, do., Corns Buckley, U.S.A., John Buckley, American Air Force, and Mrs. Lena Buckley, Listowel (sister-in-law), etc.

SIAMSA on Sunday 25th Sept. Opera, “The First Child”;Tenor Dean Power, a native of Clarecastle, Co. Clare spent the last ten years working in the ensemble at Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich. He describes what it is like to move back home.
“Performing in Ireland, especially in theatres around the country, is the best! Opera doesn’t have to only be available in one ‘grand’ form. Opera should be like water, able to fit into any environment and be performed under any circumstances. The First Child is an incredible opera. It is stacked with melodies. Its subject, although disturbing and heart-breaking, is completely relatable, funny, moving and gripping. To me it’s just wow!
