DUNGARVAN OBSERVER SPORTS SUPPLEMENT
Young Hurlers take Pat Noctor
Award into custody
By Tom Keith
THE capacity audience which attended the 20th
Annual Sports Awards sponsored by the
Dungarvan District Garda Social Club for the
Pat Noctor Memorial Trophy, were last Friday
night, privileged to see as talented and
successful a line-up of young stars as has ever
graced the stage of Ard Scoil na nDeise.
From
fifty-eight
nominations,
the
Adjudicators had, with considerable difficulty,
whittled the qualifiers down to twelve, but, in
the words of Junior Liaison Officer, Gda. Aidan
McCarthy, ‘the Public Order Unit had almost to
be called’ when it came to deciding the winner.
After deep and lengthy deliberations, the
honour fell jointly to Dungarvan hurlers Patrick
Curran and Ryan Donnelly, whose efforts for
their club, but particularly their contribution to
the capture of the Harty Cup for the
Dungarvan Colleges and their Christian
Brothers School, was enough to win the day.
The audience too acknowledged their
excellence with a standing ovation as Mrs.
Judy Noctor handed over the magnificent Pat
Noctor Memorial trophy to the very worthy
joint winners.
Speaking to MC, Kieran O’Connor, who con-
ducted the business of the evening with his
usual efficiency, Pat and Ryan said they were
thrilled to accept the trophy and the title on
behalf of their school, their Club and the
Dungarvan Colleges team.
It is their hope, they said, that they would
retain the Harty Cup, which they had won last
year and something which had not been
achieved before.
Earlier, Garda John Dwyer, Chairman of the
Garda Social Club had extended a welcome to
the capacity audience and welcomed Mrs. Judy
Noctor, widow of Garda Pat Noctor, as well as
their son Ian and grand-daughter, Anna to the
glittering evening.
He welcomed the Deputy Mayor of
Dungarvan, Cllr. Nicky Sheehan, Mayor of
County Waterford, Cllr. Billy Kyne, Mayor of
Lismore, Cllr. John Pratt as well as Chief Supt.
Pat Murphy to the Awards night. He thanked
the Ard Scoil Board of Management for the
generous use of the Hall, a privilege they had
received for the last twenty years.
Garda Junior Liaison Officer, Aidan
McCarthy, added his welcome to the
attendance and congratulated all of the young
nominees on their honour. He thanked his

Allianz National Football League
3
Footballers secure second
brace of points
Waterford .......................2-8;
Tipperary .........................0-9.
GOALS win games and two interesting ones in association with a
fine home performance deservedly gave Niall Carew’s team their
second win in Division IV of the
Allianz football league at the
Fraher Field last Saturday night.
The attitude and fitness of all nineteen players used left no room for
complaint and we now have full
league points from two games
played with Limerick next up in
Dungarvan on Saturday, March
2nd.
GOOD START
Unfortunately, the rain arrived
with the Tipperary team and fair
dues to both sets of players who
gave us a fine game in trying conditions. From the comfort of the
stand, the welcome large attendance faced a flagless pole for the
National Anthem as we were
reminded that the Irish flag cannot
be raised after sunset. The €10
admission wasn’t a bone of contention as a very fit looking Deise
team started well with a Paul
Whyte pointed free opening the
scoring in the third minute.
We didn’t have to wait too long
for the first goal of the game as a
Paul Whyte attempt at a point was
received by the Nire’s Darren Guiry
who was hauled down in front of
goal with Tipperay’s No. 7 Brian
Fox picking up a yellow card.
Fethard’s Paul Fitzgerald, who did
well overall in the visitors goal, had
no chance with Paul Whyte’s
penalty kick on six minutes as
Waterford’s tackling and defending in general play was very
impressive.
Brian Fox shrugged off his yellow card to open Tipperary’s scoring in the ninth minute. Wicklow
referee Anthony Nolan’s yellow
card must indeed have been saturated at the end of the seventy
minutes as he dished out nine in
total in what was overall a clean
game with Waterford’s John
Hurney needlessly picking up the
second one in the 18th minute.
From a left legged kick and free
Stradbally’s Robert Ahearne
restored the home team’s four
point lead in the 21st minute only
to be replied to by All-Ireland
minor medal winner Michael
Quinlan who raced through the
Deise defence after 23 minutes to
slot over his only score of the
game.
Tipperary introduced the first of
their four subs, Brian Jones as
Waterford’s wing back Tony Grey
made a great run towards the
town end goal but unfortunately
his final effort went wide of the
post. The Stradbally player was to
make amends at a crucial stage
later on in the game. Following a
wide Paul Whyte (f) made the
score 1-3 to 0-2 after 27 minutes.
Barry Grogan scored the first of his
four points for the visitors with
Rathgormack’s Gavin Nugent
being introduced in the 31st
minute. Patrick Hurney did well to
point from play but a worrying
remainder of the half from a
Waterford
viewpoint
saw
Tipperary raise three unanswered
flags.
Referee Nolan was consistent
throughout in punishing verbal
outbreaks and throwing away the
ball and following a latter indiscretion Barry Grogan (f) pointed in
the 33rd minute followed by two
superb points from play by midfielder George Hannigan and the
overall influential Peter Acheson
(Moyle Rovers). The home team
who probably deserved a bigger
lead on first half fare now led at
the break by 1-4 to 0-6.
BOUNCE BEATS ‘KEEPER
Conor
Sweeney
from
Ballyporeen started the second
half and he pointed a free in the
36th minute, the first score on the
restart. Before that, Liam O Lionain
ran in on goal and opted for the
green flag but his well placed kick
was well saved by Paul Fitzgerald.
Robbie Kiely from Arravale Rovers
was named on the programme
but he didn’t make an appearance
until the 37th minute after which
Waterford scored their second
goal which was indeed a god send
for the home team. The game was
level when Robert Ahearne’s speculative ball looked to have
bounced on the astro-turf and one
way or the other it bounced
before Paul Fitzgerald and over his
head and all the Tipperary goalie
could do was look back and see it
going into his goal. Waterford saw
a lot of the ball after this timely
boost but a number of raids on the
Tipperary defence ended up in Cul
de Sacs with wrong options being
taken and the ball being played
back instead of forwards.
Following what looked like a
free of the soft variety Barry
Grogan reduced the lead to 2-4 to
0-8 as the visitors made a double
substitute in the persons of
Bernard O’Brien (Aherlow) and
Aldo
Matassa
(Clonmel
Commercials). After 48 minutes
Conor Phelan’s surging run out of
the backline was rewarded with a
free which Paul Whyte converted.
WATERFORD’S FITNESS
Barry Grogan (f) scored his side’s
last point with fifteen minutes to
play as Waterford’s fitness shone
with the contributions of subs
Sean O’Hare and Joey Veale also
helping the cause. Four yellow
cards were issued in a six minute
spell, three to Tipperary and the
home team drove on with valuable scores from wing back Tony
Grey (56th minute) and Darren
Guiry (Nire) (59th minute). A Sean
O’Hare ball ended with a foul on
Liam O Lionain which Paul Whyte
kicked over to leave the score at
2-8 to 0-9 with 62 minutes played.
The Deise players were home and
wet at this stage despite a very
close fisted goal scoring chance in
a crowded square by Tipperary
with Waterford’s custodian
Stephen Enright picking up an
injury.
CAPTAIN’S PART
Shane Briggs once again played
a captain’s part throughout in a
fine team effort and one feels if
more of the team in time can think
as fast on their feet as the
Ballinacourty stalwart, this will
enhance the side further.

B l a s t f ro m t h e P a s t
From the files of the Dungarvan Observer, Saturday, 13th April, 1963
Waterford snatches yet
another dramatic victory
gave this game everything they
possessed.
Their six defenders plus agile
Jimmy Hegarty in goal played in
heroic fashion and had the game
gone on for another hour it is
doubtful that they would have
conceded a goal. From the second
minute they enjoyed the lead and
only had it snatched from them for
the first time seven minutes before
the end.
The strong breeze allied to the
dominance of Salmon and Conroy
at midfield saw to it that the first
half for the most part was fought
out in Déise territory. But try as
their forwards might, they possessed neither the craft nor the skill
to penetrate a great defence and
their 0-5 to 0-2 half-time lead was
a poor reward for their efforts.
Consider also that two of those
five points came from midfielder
Conroy – one from a ‘70’ another
from a glorious 90 yards drive and
the real weakness of their scoring
department will be realised.
In the circumstances a three
point lead looked far from sufficient. The general feeling during
the half-time break was that
Waterford’s fleet-footed forwards
would revel in the open space of
Croke Park and would find chinks
in the Connacht men’s defensive
screen through which the match
winning scores would come.
‘
Wilful waste makes
woeful want and the
many chances fritted
away by the Galway
attack cost them dearly
‘
Waterford …………………… 0-9;
Galway ………………………. 0-7
HOW fickle and unreliable the
form book can be when it comes
to the big occasion. On Sunday
last, little fancied Galway came
within an ace of upsetting all the
pre-match predictions when
before approximately 7,000 attendance at Croke Park they were
narrowly and somewhat unluckily
beaten by Waterford in the
National Hurling League semifinal.
A mere two points separated
the teams at the end of a hard
fought but unspectacular game
and it must be stated that Galway’s
trojan efforts over the sixty minutes deserved at least the right of
a second bite at the cherry.
As a hurling spectacle it was a
semi-final that flopped. There was
far too much mis-hitting and misdirected clearances by both sides
and only the close nature of the
scoring retained interest right to
the end.
Descriptively one might say
with justification that it was one of
Waterford’s undistinguished displays. They were clearly perturbed
by the first time pulling of the
Westerners and only in the closing
stages did they succeed in counteracting their unusual style.
By this, however, no criticism of
Galway is intended. They went
about their so formidable task
with little respect for the men that
provided the opposition. Playing
to a set plan that so very nearly
“did the trick” they shot to the
front after two minutes and as
they say in racing parlance were
only caught at the post.
LITTLE STYLE OR GLAMOUR
These dramatic late victories –
Sunday’s was their fifth in-a-row
have become a fashionable part of
Waterford’s hurling make-up, but
there was little style or glamour
attached to this latest game saving
efforts. Missing against the
Tribesmen was the devastating
brand of hurling that has made
them the talk of the country and
instead they nearly plotted their
own defeat by foolishly attempting to play the Westerners at their
own crude and rugged game.
But if that was part of their
trouble on Sunday their shortcomings at midfield came also with a
fraction of proving their undoing.
Practically every ball that dropped
in this vital area was claimed with
consummate and disturbing ease
by either Joe Salmon or Jimmy
Conroy against whom Joe Condon
and John Meaney and later Tony
Cummins could make little impression.
EQUAL TO EVERY DEMAND
Fortunately, for Waterford their
own defence was equal to every
demand. They worked overtime
for three-quarters of an hour trying to off-set the disadvantage of
playing behind a beaten midfield
and if helped by the feebleness of
Galway’s attack, they nevertheless
take the victory bouquets for the
second week in succession.
The Westerners – all fifteen of
them never spared themselves and
DISILLUSIONMENT
That assessment of the situation
transpired to be nothing short of
disillusionment. The second half
started as in the first – with Galway
again calling the tune. Their
defence remained clam-like,
defence continued to reap harvest
and after five minutes their lead
was stretched a point further.
Hurriedly Déise mentors went
about reconstructing their side in
an attempt to gain the initiative.
First Meaney was switched
replaced at midfield by Tony
Cummins and the attack was
altered in drastic fashion. Tom
Cheasty was switched to the left
corner and Grimes took over on
the “40.” Seamus Power went to
the fringe of the square with John
Barron taking Power’s berth at top
of the right.
With
painful
slowness
Waterford began to wear down a
tiring opposition. But that maroon
clad defence was unyielding. They
disputed every ball and it was only
the battle-hardened Cheasty and
the astute and accurate Grimes
that made worthwhile progress.
Only eight minutes remained
when equilibrium was gained for
the first time and then within a
minute Waterford shot to the
front with a point by Barron.
But Galway refused to acknowledge defeat. They stormed the
Déise posts and when a deserved
equaliser came with little over a
minute left for play a replay
looked an odds-on certainly.
WINNING POINTS
Into the thirtieth when Grimes
from outfield secured possession
and lofted over the vital point and
with a minute and a half of overtime gone, Cheasty closed the scoring with a delightful point.
DEFENCE CARRIED THEM
THROUGH
As against Wexford the previous Sunday, the solidity of
Waterford’s defence carried them
through. Percy Flynn displayed all
the coolness of a veteran in goal
and full-backs Cunningham, Flynn
and Byrne cleared their lines on
numerous occasions. Martin Og
Morrissey turned in yet another
masterly display at centre-back,
Larry Guinan cleared repeatedly in
effortless fashion and Jim Irish fitted perfectly into a cast-iron set up.
For most of the hour the side’s
greatest troubles stemmed from a
substandard midfield pairing. Joe
Condon was outplayed by the stylish Salmon and Meaney, until
replaced, contributed little to the
cause.
In the game’s preview we stated
that Galway’s defence was unlikely to be of the same calibre as
Wexford’s. Apologetically to
Galway, that belief was proved
incorrect. Only Grimes, Cheasty
and Flannelly emerged from the
“war” with honours, the remainder receiving precious little scope
to exploit their skill.
DEFENSIVE STARS
Like Waterford, the Westerners
had their stars in defence.
Goalkeeper Jimmy Hegarty made
a series of wonderful saves and
full-back Packie Burke flanked by
Jackie Gill and Tom Conway gave
nothing away.
In the half-line Ned Derrivan
covered acres of ground to great
effect; Jimmy Duggan always had
the beating of Frankie Walsh and
Joe Lyons also played his part.
The efforts of their midfield
partnership of Salmon and Conroy
to sway the game caught the
imagination of the attendance
and no blame can be laid at their
doorstep for defeat.
Wilful waste makes woeful
want and the many chances fritted
away by the Galway attack cost
them dearly. They never ceased
trying to turn their plentiful supply
of the ball into profitable account
but met with little or no success.

PLANNING application has now been submitted in
respect of the re-development of Casement Park in
Belfast. The Ulster Council has confirmed that the
project is fully funded with grants from the N.I.

running in 2016. Everything now depends on

Fitzgibbon and

competition
ONE of the great GAA success stories of the
modern era has been the number of third level
colleges that are now participating in the
Fitzgibbon (hurling) and Sigerson Cup (football)
competitions and accordingly it’s stupid to see
some silly rules preventing some players from
participating in this year’s competition more
especially in an era of low employment
opportunity and really commonsense should have
been applied here.
New Hurling Club
in Cork
Radio Fun Quiz Launch – At the launch of the Radio Fun Quiz on Tuesday night last in Carriganore were Waterford Senior Hurling and Football managers, Niall

IN the West Cork Division a new hurling club has
been set up to be known as St. Patrick’s. The new
club will be an amalgamation of four clubs (i.e.)
Glen Rovers, O’Donovan Rossa, Tadgh
MacCarthaigh and Kilmacabea and the aim is to
have teams participating in competition from U-14
to U-21 grade.
It will be interesting to see how the new club
progresses over the next couple of years.

OFFALY senior hurling champions brought off a
truly magnificent victory in the AIB All-Ireland club
semi-final at Portlaoise on Saturday afternoon last
to see off the challenge of Tipperary champions
Thurles Sarsfields by 1-20 to 1-14 after a real thriller
of a game which we viewed courtesy of TG4.
Certainly, Kilcormac-Killoughey are a really skilful
hurling XV and are in the All-Ireland final on merit.
Drawn Thriller
IN the second All-Ireland AIB Club SHC semi-final
defending champions Loughiel Shamrocks and
Galway champions St. Thomas finished on level
terms at Parnell Park on Saturday last, 2-12 to 0-18.
At half-time in extra time St. Thomas, 1-21 to 2-15
and with time up they were still three points to the
good, 1-25 to 2-19. Loughiel Shamrocks earned a
late late 20 metre free and in a dramatic climax
Liam Watson coasted the ball to the net, 1-25 to
3-19 and the teams will now face off in a replay.

CBS in the provincial final on Saturday afternoon
next, the Clare college have scored a total of eight
goals in their last two games.
Harty Cup Final
ON Sunday, 24th February in Sean Treacy Park,
Tipperary Town with a 2.30 p.m. throw-in,
Dungarvan Colleges will play Templemore in the
Harty Cup Final, who defeated Árd Scoil Rís in their
semi-final replay on Saturday last by 1-13 to 0-14 to
set up a mouth-watering decider as the local side
seek to put Harty Cup titles back-to-back.
Allianz NF League
Fitzgerald’s changes will open their Allianz NHL
campaign at home to Michael Ryan’s Waterford on
February 24th next which is most certainly going to
provide rival hurling supporters with what is
certain to be a keenly contested clash.
Minor Football
Championship
LAST weekend saw the commencement of the
County MFC with games in all three Divisions.
Disappointingly, two clubs have withdrawn from
Division 3, namely Kilmacthomas and St. Carthage’s
which leaves 5 teams in group A and 4 in group B.
The second round of games will be played on the
weekend of February 23rd/24th.
The Big Quiz
THE build-up has started for the big Radio quiz
which is due to take place on Thursday, 21st
February at pubs all over the county. Kieran
O’Connor and Geoff Harris will host the show
which goes out from 8.30. The questions will be
written by Bob O’Brien and they will be designed
for a good night’s fun and entertainment.
The following pubs and clubs have already
entered: Kilgobinet Club in Queallys Lounge,
Modeligo in Deckies Bar, Ballinameala in Kereen
Bar, Ballyduff Upper in The Paddocks Bar, Brickey
Rangers in the Tudor House, Geraldines in Kereen
Bar, Clashmore in the Old Still Pub, Old Parish in
John Pauls, Lismore in Eamonns Place, Ferrybank in
Flynn’s Pub, Passage in Furlong’s Geneva Pub, St.
Mollerans in Walls Bar, Portlaw in The Cotton Mill,
Butlerstown in Holy Cross, Clonea in Clancy’s Bar.
Next week we should have a full list of the pubs
taking part as the County Board have appointed 25
Co-Ordinators, each looking after just two clubs,
and they are all due to report back so that we can
give you the information on where the quiz is
being hosted.
All the money raised will be going to help the
training costs of all the hurling and
football teams.
Sympathy
SINCERE sympathy is extended to Divisional and
County Board Referee Martin Currran on the death
of his uncle Tom Graves, Knockenpower, An Rinn.
Sympathy is also extended to Tom’s sister Rita and
his other nephews Patrick and Tomas.
THE text message spelt out wonderful news on
Saturday night last to the effect that Waterford
senior footballers had come out on top in their
vital Allianz NFL Division IV clash with Tipperary at
the Fraher Field by 2-8 to 0-9 to maintain their
strong challenge for promotion. Despite the very
wet conditions there was a fine attendance at the
Fraher Field to see Waterford record their second
successive league win.
Waterford’s next outing will be on the 2nd
March next, also at the Fraher Field under
floodlights against Limerick as the interest in this
excellent campaign is building by the day.

College
-vSt. Michael’s,
Listowel
ST. Augustine’s College will be aiming to win their first Munster football title since 2004 when they take
on St. Michael’s, Listowel in
Mallow this Wednesday. The Friary
won Corn An Uachtarain that year
on a team that included Richie
Foley, Conor Phelan and Patrick
Hurney. Their previous wins in
Corn an Uachtarain were in 1999
and 2000 with Gary Hurney and
Tadgh Kenneally featuring the first
year when St. Augustine’s defeated Listowel.
The Friary boys will be hoping
for the same result today,
Wednesday following wins over
Clashmore, 4-15 to 1-7. Colaisti an
Phiarsaigh, 5-14 to 3-6 and
Rathmore 2-11 to 2-6. Their efforts
will be spearheaded by Brian
Looby, Tadgh Bourke, Tom Devine,
Seamus Keating and David
Gartland.
ST. AUGUSTINE’S FOOTBALL
HISTORY
St. Augustine’s College has long
been the dominant force on the
Waterford Colleges Football scene.
As far back as 1956 the boys from
the "Old Friary" captured the
Frewen Cup, the Munster Colleges
Under 16 'A' title. The College
senior footballers were particularly
to the fore in Munster competition
in the late 70's and early 80's.
During this period Friary teams
under the management of former
Principal Fr. Pat Moran contested
three consecutive Munster Senior
'A' Finals and current coach Ger
Walsh was a member of the 1979
side beaten by Cork kingpins
Coláiste Chríost Rí who were led by
Dave Barry. Fortunes declined in
the late 80's as the boarding school
was phased out and the Friary
reverted to the Senior 'B' competition, Corn an Uachtaráin. St.
Augustine’s contested finals in
1991 and 1996 without success
before the emergence of a double
winning side in 1999/2000. That
side included current County football stars Gary Hurney, Shane
Briggs and John Phelan and InterCounty hurling star Michael 'Brick'
Walsh. The 2000 team went all
the way to the All Ireland Final
only to be defeated by the John
O'Mahony led St. Nathy’s
Ballaghadereen in a tremendous
contest at O'Moore Park
Portlaoise. The team also included such players as John
Hurney, Niall Hennessy, Eamonn
Walsh and Billy Harty who were
members of Waterfords historic
Under 21 Munster winning side of
2004. That same year the Friary
again
captured
Corn
an
Uachtaráin with a side featuring
hurling star Richie Foley and current Waterford Senior Footballers
Conor Phelan and Patrick Hurney.
The school has in recent years
enjoyed a major hurling revival in
its amalgamation with the local
CBS culminating in an historic first
ever Harty Cup in 2012. Hurling is
certainly the huge attraction but
these players enjoy their football
as well and it is to their credit that
in an age when there is little room
for the dual player they have given
sufficient commitment to reach
this decider. Team captain Brian
Looby, Tadhg Burke, Tom Devine,
Seamus Keating, David Gartland
and Eamonn Crotty are all members of the Coláistí Dhúngarbháin
side which will endeavour to
regain the famed Harty Cup.
An interesting footnote to
today’s final against St. Michael’s is,
that when these two teams last
clashed at senior level, in a 1st
round fixture back in 1998 St.
Augustine’s were the victors by a
single point on the amazing score
line 5-7 to 5-6. Gary Hurney starred
for St. Augustine’s and none other
than Tadhg Kenneally featured for
St. Michael’s. Spectators would
surely settle for a similar contest
today. All in Waterford football
circles wish the Friary well and
may the best team win.

Cup Final
Munster Senior ‘A’ Hurling
Final
Dungarvan Colleges
-vOur Lady’s, Templemore
on Sunday, February 24th
at 2.30 p.m.
in Tipperary Town
Dungarvan CBS .............…. 1-22;
Rochestown College ......…. 3-7.
AT the end of the third quarter in
this Munster ‘B’ Senior hurling
semi-final at the Copper Alley,
Youghal, Dungarvan CBS led their
Cork opponents by 1-18 to 0-7. The
concession of three goals in the
final ten minutes put a slightly better gloss on the final scoreline as
the local CBS team advanced to
their fourth consecutive Munster
final.
EVEN FIRST HALF
Rochestown presented a determined and physical challenge last
Saturday and their speedy forwards presented a consistent
threat to the Dungarvan defence.
In an even first half, the CBS led by
0-7 to 0-5 after twenty seven
minutes played. Rochestown’s
Mark O’Connor had scored four of
his side’s points, two each from
play and from frees and he set up
lively corner forward Mark Dolan
for their fifth score. Patrick Curran,
who finished the game with a
total of 1-12, scored three points
with Colin Dunford, Cormac
Curran, Christy Breathnach and
Ryan Donnelly raising one white
flag each.
IMPORTANT GOAL
Rochestown were the type of
team that gave this semi-final
everything and one could sense
that the longer they were in contention the more their confidence
grew and the more difficult it
would be to shake off their challenge and to win this game.
Patrick Curran also realised this
and in the 28th minute he took on
the expected physical challenge of
the Cork defence to solo along the
endline and with little space batted the ball into the net. He followed up with a pointed free in
the 30th minute to leave the halftime score at 1-8 to 0-5.
FREE SCORING THIRD
QUARTER
Last year’s beaten finalists
scored ten points to two in a fifteen minute spell characterised by
impressive team play superbly
marshalled by captain Colin
Dunford playing deep in the middle of the field. Patrick Curran
notched four scores and there
were also very well taken points
from play by Christy Breathnach
(2), Micheal Harney, Colin
Dunford, Cormac Curran and
Aaron Donnelly.
It was just as well that this wasn’t a closer game as Rochestown
won the final quarter by 3-0 to 0-4
with a kicked goal from Cathal
Cormac and two green flags from
frees by their top scorer Mark
O’Connor. Dungarvan’s final four
points all came from the stick of
Patrick Curran (f) in a well
deserved win for the local boys. All
the usual suspects played well here
with Michael Cronin, Cian Culloo,
Kieran Barron and Jack O’Donnell
also hurling well in a defence
where one feels Kevin Daly is more
at home in the No. 6 jersey.
In a busy time for all these players who come from nine different
clubs and who also have minor
and U-21 club championship to
play as well as an important exam
date for some in June, the Corn
Phadraig final against a free goal
scoring Tulla CBS (Clare) team will
be played this Saturday in Golden,
Tipperary, at 3.00 p.m.
Scorers: Dungarvan CBS: Patrick
Curran 1-12, Christy Breathnach
0-3, Colin Dunford and Cormac
Curran (0-2) each; Ryan Donnelly,
Micheal Harney and Aaron
Donnelly (0-1) each.

Corn Phadraig Munster
Senior ‘B’ Final
Golden, Co. Tipperary
Saturday, February 16th
at 3 p.m.
DUNGARVAN CBS
-VST. JOSEPH’S, TULLA
DUNGARVAN CBS contest their fourth consecutive Corn Phadraig
Final in Golden this Saturday when they face a very formidable Clare
team, St. Joseph’s from Tulla. The local CBS upset the odds to defeat
St. Pauls from Waterford in the 2010 final but they had to play second
fiddle the next two years to Cashel CBS and Doon CBS respectively.
This year they have not been tested to-date but this is about to
change and the ‘Brothers’ will have to be bang in-form if they are to
regain the title and defeat this Clare outfit. Tulla have scored eight
goals in their last two games beating Borrisoleigh by 4-8 to 0-10 in the
quarter-final and Youghal by 4-9 to 0-12 in the semi-final. Tulla are not
conceding many goals and Dungarvan aren’t scoring many while the
Clare school are conceding a fair few points and the CBS are recording high totals here. It will be interesting to see if these trends
continue on Saturday. All roads lead to Golden then for what should
be another exciting game of Colleges hurling.

McGrath Newsagents (B) grade
when they meet at Abbeyside on

The remaining of games in the

afternoon. The Board must be
complimented on keeping admission prices at €5 with e3 concessions.
The Divisional Board C.C.C.C.
were due to meet earlier this week
to put dates and venues on the
opening rounds of the Adult hurling and football championships.
(A)
Ballinacourty
-vDungarvan
At Colligan
on Sunday, 17th at 2.30 p.m.
This opening round game at
Colligan on Sunday afternoon was
a repeat of last year’s divisional
final which Ballinacourty won
after extra time by 1-16 to 0-11.
Both sides will be short a number
of players from those teams but it
will be another keenly contested
local
derby
encounter.
Ballinacourty will have Philip
Cashin in goal and along with Ross
Dunford, Colm Kindregan, the
Eoin Bergin, Brian Looby, Ronan
Sheehan and Collins brothers Evan
and David, they have the numbers
of a good side.
The Blues will be keen to
revenge last year’s defeat and with
Conor Mulcahy between the posts
assisted by Darren Duggan, Luke
Egan, Sean Ryan, Conor Sheridan,
Ryan Donnelly and the Curran
brothers they will have to make a
big effort here.
As in any local derby game it
could go either way but we give a
hesitant vote to Dungarvan.
Clashmore/Kinsalebeg
-vComeragh Gaels
at the Fraher Field on Sunday,
February 17th at 12 noon
This could be one of the closest
games of the weekend and there
has been very little between these
teams at underage level.
Comeragh Gaels reached the B
decider last year where they lost
out to Brickey Rangers by 2-5 to
0-8. While Clashmore were defeated by Ballinacourty in the (A) semifinal. Comeragh Gaels i.e. St. Pats
were comfortable winners of the
Divisional Minor (A) championship
last year. In Kevin Sheehan, Colin
Dunford, Eoin Kearns, Gavin
Whelan and the Tobin brothers
amongst others they have fine
footballers with Sheehan currently
on the county senior panel.
Clashmore will look to Darren
Foley, Tadgh Bourke and the
O’Connors to lead them here but
Comeragh Gaels could shade it.
(A)
An Gaeltacht
-vSt. Olivers
at Bushy Park on Sunday,
February 17th at 2.30 p.m.
Another local derby game out
at Bushy Park as these great rivals
do battle for a semi-final place and
a meeting with Brickey Rangers.
There has never been much
between these sides at underage
level and the Gaeltacht sides may
come out on top here.
(B)
Nire
- v Stradbally
at Abbeyside on Saturday,
The opening game of this year’s
championship will take place at
Abbeyside on Saturday afternoon.
At minor level Nire have been the
more successful and they should
record victory here.
(B)
Kilrossanty
-vTallow
at Fraher Field on Tuesday,
With county senior player Paul
Whyte in their ranks, Kilrossanty
will be strong favourites to come
out on top here and secure a semifinal spot. Tallow are fielding on
their own at U-21 level this year
with assistance from Shamrocks.
(B)
Ardmore
-vBallyduff
at Ballinameela on Sunday,
At Ballinameela on Sunday
afternoon, Ardmore with Ml.
Cronin, Seamus Keating and David
Gartland in their starting XV
should prove too strong for
Ballyduff who will look to Eoin
Scanlan, Kevin Carey, Cian Leamy,
Jamie Hannon, Connor Geary and
Mikey Kearney etc. etc. to lead
them here and push Ardmore all
the way.
Waterford Ladies Gaelic football …
Intermediate team overcome by Galway
Galway …………………….. 3-13;
Waterford ……………………. 2-7
THE Déise ladies made the long
journey to St. Jarlath’s Park in
Tuam to play against the home
county in the second round of the
Tesco National Football league.
Both teams were out to prove a
point in this fixture, Waterford
were hoping to redeem themselves after last week’s heavy
defeat to Kerry and Galway felt
that they had thrown away a glorious chance to defeat a Kildare
team that had two players in the
sin-bin at one stage of the second
half.
This was a much improved performance by a Waterford team
and the girls opened the scoring
early on when Michelle Ryan
scored a free. Galway replied with
a free of their own to level matters
before Michelle Ryan converted a
penalty which resulted in Galway’s
Emer Flaherty being sin-binned.
Michelle Ryan tacked on two more
points from frees before Gillian
O’Connor and Roisin Leonard capitalised on two lapses in concentration in the Deise defence to leave
the half time score Galway 2-7 to
Waterford’s 1-5, this in spite of
Waterford having the greater
share of possession and playing
the better football.
In the second half Waterford
again opened brightly and
Michelle Ryan pointed a free,
Galway replied in kind with three
points of their own to leave eight
points between the teams with
ten minutes to go. With eight minutes to go a very impressive Aileen
Wall beat the Galway goalkeeper
and scored a wonderful goal to
narrow the gap to five points. A
Galway point stretched the lead
and a break away goal in the final
minute of the game by one of the
Galway substitutes left the final
score Galway 3-13 to Waterford
2-7. A highlight of the game was
the unerring accuracy of Galway’s
Edel Concannon in free taking
from the ground.
The Waterford team lined out
as follows Aimee Jordan, Roisin
Tobin, Ann Dunphy, Nora Dunphy,
Mary Foley, Karen McGrath, Aoife
Landers, Michelle McGrath, Elaine
Power, Linda Wall, Shona Curran,
Mairead Wall, Aileen Wall,
Michelle Ryan, Sinead Ryan.
Subs introduced Trish Fitzgerald
for Sinead Ryan, Louise Ryan for
Shona Curran and Tracy Fennell for
Roisin Tobin.
This was a much better performance by the Waterford girls, the
final margin of nine points is scant
reward for the efforts that they
put in during the game against a
Galway team who reached the
Senior All-Ireland semi-final last
season. Waterford have probably
played their two hardest league
games of the season and should
take major heart from their display
and look forward with confidence
to the next game which will be a
home game against Westmeath
on Sunday next.
WATERFORD V WESTMEATH
PREVIEW
Waterford welcome the ladies
from Westmeath to Dungarvan on
Sunday next for round three of the
National
Football
league.
Westmeath had a good win last
Sunday by beating a disappointing
Fermanagh team. The Deise ladies
after the disappointment of the
game against Kerry showed a
major improvement in the game
against Galway and this should
stand to them against Westmeath.
Westmeath have some outstanding players and clinched promotion from Division 3 of the league
by defeating Leitrim in a replay.
Westmeath were crowned All
Ireland Intermediate champions in
2010 and the only game they lost
in the championship that year was
a defeat by the Deise girls in St.
Molleran’s in the early rounds of
the championship. As a result
Waterford won’t fear the challenge of the Westmeath girls and
have the girls to stop the
Westmeath threat. In defence
players like Karen McGrath, Aoife
Landers and Mary Foley are more
than capable of containing the
Lakeland forwards. Up front
Michelle Ryan top scored again
last week and the Wall sisters
Linda, Mairead and Aileen have
the ability to give good performances.
Throw-in next Sunday is at 2.00
p.m. at a venue to be confirmed,
which will be announced on WLR
and on the Waterford Ladies Web
Site and Facebook and Twitter
pages during the week and the
girls would be delighted to get a
good crowd to the game to support them in their bid to get their
league campaign up and running.

Ardmore
UNDER 14 FOOTBALL
Ardmore 7-5; Clashmore 5-6.
Our Under-14 Footballers lined out on Sunday morning at
home to play our neighbours Clashmore. Ardmore started
well, but it was not long before Clashmore began to take control with some fine running from their centre back and mid
field paring. At the half time break it was Clashmore that had
the score advantage. For the opening minutes of the second
half Clashmore continued with some well take scores.
Ardmore did respond well and put some excellent patterns of
football together and capitalised on some fine goal opportunities. Ardmore did finish stronger and came away winners on
a score of 7-4 to 5-6. with both sides scoring 11 scores each. It
showed how balanced the teams were.
Panel of the day – Neil Power; Adam Power; Jack Keane;
Brian Walsh; Nathan Byrne; Padraig Foley; Harry Yellop; James

Ardmore 1-13; Cois Brid 2-5.

points from Senan Freyne, James Kennedy David Gartland &
Joseph Murphy. At Half time Ardmore had a good advantage
on a score line of 0-10 – 0-2.
The second half team talk for Cois Brid worked as they
upped a gear and took the game to Ardmore. With a goal
and 2 points within 15 minutes we now only had a 3-point
advantage to play with. We squandered some fine passages
of play and began to make silly mistakes. Ardmore did settle
back to its game plan and with Tom Power free taking we
began to stretch the lead again to 5 points. Cois Brid responded with a goal. With minutes remaining it was David Gartland
that struck the final blow with an well take goal to seal it for
Ardmore on a score line of 1-13 to 2-5.

our U-21 Footballers of being the club's first adult team to play
this season as they take on Clan na Gael at the Fraher Field on
Sunday at 12 noon which is a knock-out game so a tough challenge indeed for our lads as they take on a combined team
who are able to draw on the resources of a few clubs for this
one but we wish the players and their mentors the very best
of luck in this match and hope to see a good crowd going
along to the Shandon Field to cheer them on.

CLASHMORE/KINSALEBEG JUVENILES
U-8 Football: Our U-8 footballers were in action over the
weekend where they were involved in a tournament in
Ballinameela. This team is full of really exciting young players
and they have worked very hard over the winter and they
played really brilliant football on the day. The team has been
coached by Ger Ryan who has done an excellent job coaching
the stars of the future and he has received great help from
Valerie O'Shea also. Shane Kenefick and Jack O'Donovan have
helped this team also and it's mighty to see the lads getting
involved in coaching at such a young age. So well done to the

players and the coaching team and of course thanks to all the
parents who have been really helpful. Keep up the good
work!
U-14 Football: Our U-14 footballers were in championship
action for the first time over the weekend when they took on
a very strong Ardmore team over in the seaside venue. The
lads played some great stuff in the match and were unlucky
to lose by 5 points in the end. They have more games to come
and if they play as well again they are sure to get the results.
Barry Kinsella and Roger Ryan are involved with this team and
they are doing a great job with the lads.
Eamon Lombard Tournament: The annual Eamon
Lombard U-14 football tournament took place in Clashmore
last Monday night and it was fantastic to see the place
buzzing with players, spectators and organisers alike. There
were six teams involved - Clashmore/Kinsalebeg, Cois Bride,
Ardmore, Youghal, The Nire and St. Olivers. The teams were
split into two groups of three with the top teams to play the
Cup final and the second placed teams to play in the Shield
final. After some great displays, we won the Cup final by 3-3
to 0-5, beating The Nire in the final. In the Shield final,
Ardmore just edged out Cois Bride by 2-6 to 2-2. A great night
was had by everyone in attendance. Well done to the organisers who had everything laid on perfectly. Thanks to the
referees and umpires on the night, all the parents and also big
thanks to those serving tea and sandwiches. All in all, a brilliant night.

UNDER 8 AGE GROUP
For the second consecutive Saturday morning our under 8
age group didn’t have the luxury of a late lie in bed as they
gathered at 9.45 a.m. to head out to Bohadoon for an indoor
football programme organised by the Games and
Development Committee. With five teams gathered at the
venue meaning a total of 10 games (10 min per game) had to
be played as each team had to play each other, it certainly was
a more manageable programme than its hurling counterpart
the week before and proceedings were helped considerably
by the co-operation of the participating teams. As this would
have been the first time that we would have kicked any football needless to say we were a bit guilty of the odd pick up off
the ground, maybe a slight bit of over-carrying, the odd throw
when a hand-pass was required and certainly some wayward
kicking. Games against St. Patricks, Ballinacourty/Abbeyside,
Nire and Brickeys were to prove quite enjoyable and as the
games flowed on we were managing to get to grips with the
skills involved and our performance improving immensely.
Indeed special word of mention to Brian Curran who in the
opening games had been frustrated to see his shots hit all
parts of the metal goalposts but eventually was to find the net
in the later games much to his satisfaction and capped a truly
memorable week-end in that household.
Panel: Brian Curran, Joseph McGuire, Caoimhe Meehan, Christopher
Hennessy, James Maye, Jamie McCarthy, Dylan Joyce, Eddie Burke, John
Meehan.
Many thanks to those who provided transport to and from
the venue and gave of their time on a busy Saturday.
This completes the schedule of events for our Under 8 age
groups and this Saturday, 16th February it is the turn of the
Under 9 section with their first week of indoor hurling action.
Again transport will leave the C.B.S. at 9.45 a.m.
SPORTS CENTRE
Glad to say that the Sports Centre is now available again
from Monday next 18th February after the recent influx of
Eastern Europeans on their training camp endeavours in
preparation for the 2016 Olympics in Rio. This means that all
training sessions are now able to resume in their previous time
schedules.
The Friday evening sessions will resume at 5.00 p.m. on the
22nd February. This session caters for our youngest age group
and is a gentle and enjoyable introduction to the game of
hurling. So if you have a child who you want to partake in a
little bit of healthy exercise please feel free to bring them
along. All equipment including hurlies and safety helmets will
be supplied. The session will last for just one hour and will be
an enjoyable one for all.
DUNGARVAN LADIES FOOTBALL NOTES

so wish, for the two Sundays in question. First up is Sunday,

NIRE/FOURMILEWATER JUVENILES
Our first U-8 Hurling blitz of 2013 took place in Bohadoon
on Saturday, 2nd February. After great anticipation the action
got underway with a game against Brickeys. It took us a while
to get used to our surroundings and only for some great
defending by Adam and Seamie we were only down by a
goal at half time. The game was turned on its head with the
introduction of Tadhg who scored two goals in quick succession.
Next up was An Ghaeltacht, right from the off we were on
the front foot, Ciaran and Sean H began to dominate the midfield, and with Jake producing some fine ground strokes we
eased to victory. After some refreshments we faced
Abbeyside. Some fantastic saves by Billy in goals kept us in the
game and with Kevin driving us forward we got our just
rewards with a couple of goals by Evan.
Our final game was against St. Pats, the calming influence
of Eoin at the back kept the St. Pats attack at bay, great support play from Cian provided plenty supply for Michael who
was clinical up front.
Thanks to the parents who travelled and hopefully we will
have many more successful outings during 2013.
PRESENTATION NIGHT
Our club presentation night took place last Saturday.
Chairperson Orlaith Brady started the night by thanking all
the mentors and players. She commented on the hard work,
time and dedication that the Senior girls put in and this was

groups too by their mentors.
Seamus Prendergast presented the medals to the Senior
girls. Jennie Simpson, who captained our senior camogie team
this year, made presentations to the management team; Davy
Phelan, John Walsh, Michael Kavanagh and Anthony Raher

Exciting encounter finishes all square. Sunday morning the
first of our championships of 2013 kicked off with a really
exciting game of football in Bushy Park. Stradbally nullified
our early lead with some goals and it wasn't looking good for
the home team. But great work rate and smart football they
fought back and with 2 points in injury time earned a well
deserved point. This was a great team performance with
everyone putting their shoulder to the wheel. Hopefully, the
lads will push on now at training. With a few more lads to

Accrington Celtic 1; Glenview Utd. 0.

MINOR FOOTBALL
Ardmore 1-13; Cois Bhride 2-6
Our Minor Footballers begin their Championship last
Sunday in Ardmore where they faced the host club Ardmore
in wet and heavy conditions. Playing against the strong wind
in the first half we trailed by two points after 15 minutes, however Ardmore added on 5 unanswered points before halftime to go in at the break leading by 0-9 to 0-2. In the second
half aided by the strong wind we had the majority of the possession, but unfortunately could not convert it into scores as
we kicked some very poor wides. However goals from Stefan
Tobin and Ryan Gray brought us to within a point of Ardmore
and they needed an injury time goal to hold out for the win.
Next up is a home game versus An Gaeltacht in a few weeks
time.
U-14 FOOTBALL
Our U-14 Footballers travelled to Clashmore last Monday
night to play in the 6 team Eamonn Lombard Tournament. In
our first game we played St. Olivers and after conceding a
goal in the opening minute we settled as points from Billy
Hynes and a goal from Mark Stewart ensured we held on for
a deserved win. In our next game we played The Nire. Again
we were slow to start conceding 1-3 in the opening minutes
before we rallied with goals from Billy Hynes and Liam
Motherway and pointed frees from Darragh Buckley taking
us in at half-time leading by 2-2 to 1-3. In the second half The
Nire scored a controversial goal with the referee having blown
his whistle for a free allowed the Nire player the advantage to
score what proved to be the winning goal. As a result we qualified for the shield final, but unfortunately a slow start again
was to cost us Ardmore scored a goal in the first minute.
However we fought back and it took a last minute Ardmore
goal to ensure they won the shield. Our thanks to Clashmore
for their invite to a very well organised tournament, and their
hospitality on the night. Our U-14 Footballers now turn their
attention to the U-14 Football Championship where they
travel to Ballymacarbry this Sunday morning to play The Nire

Senior Hurling Championship and made some crucial saves in
their run in reaching last Sunday’s Junior All-Ireland.

(Continued from page 1)
Garda colleagues for their help in
preparing for the important and
prestigious event, as well as the
many people whose help always
contributes to the success of the
evening.
Expressing his delight and
pleasure at being at the very
special occasion of the twentieth
event, Supt. Michael Leacy, District
Officer, Dungarvan said that when
he thought about the night
beforehand, it struck him immediately about how time flies by.
“When we began these awards
back in 1994,” he said, “we all
looked considerably younger. It
also occurred to me that those
nominated here tonight were not
even born then.
“I asked myself why these
awards have lasted so long,” he
continued, “and what is the lasting legacy of Pat Noctor. I feel it is
the concept of people working for
others and for the community. Pat
believed in the notion of service to
the people and worked his whole
life in the pursuit of that goal.
“I know there is much debate in
the media and a certain derision
about public service and what it
means to communities, but it is my
belief that there is no nobler calling than to work in the service of
others.
“This is epitomised by the service of teachers, doctors, nurses,
fire service and gardai, who work
every hour of every day in the service of others. This work requires
commitment and sacrifice, but it is
a noble pursuit and a worthwhile
calling and we should remember
tonight our late colleague, Garda
Aidan O’Donoghue who made
the ultimate sacrifice in the service
of the community.”
He wished all of the nominees
every success in their careers ahead
and thanked everyone for their
help in arranging what is a very
successful event each year.
He thanked the adjudicators
John A Murphy, Kieran O’Connor,
Jim Landers and Mary Ashe for
their dedication and patience and
Garda Aidan McCarthy together
with the other Gardai and administrative staff of the station for
arranging the excellent evening.
He sent the best wishes of all
present to Adjudicator, John A.
Murphy, the man who prepares
the citations and who is presently
indisposed, wishing him a full and
speedy recovery.
He thanked the Mayors for
their attendance, as well as Chief
Supt. Pat Murphy and had a
special word of thanks for the
Brass Band for their recital before
the programme and their fanfares
for each nominee.
The
Mayor
of
County
Waterford, speaking also on
behalf of his Mayoral colleagues,
said he was privileged to be present twenty years after the inception of the Award. I recall that first
winner, he said, Jamie Costin, an
elite athlete and an Olympian who
went on to have a distinguished
career in athletics.
Turning to the twelve young
nominees he said: “You are winners already, winners in your clubs
and role models for other young
sportspeople. You are worthy
ambassadors for your families,
your clubs and your communities.”
He said that working for the
community ‘must never be devalued, must never be underestimated and always be
encouraged’.
As each citation was read and as
each nominee came to the stage
they were presented with their
scroll by super sportsmen Jamie
Costin and Gary Hurney.
Ian Noctor, son of the Garda in
whose honour the award is made
annually said that the first award
was made not long after his father
died.
“We did not realise back then,”
he said, “that this award would be
going strong or stronger twenty
years on. For those of you who did
not know my father, he was a
dedicated sportsman and followed every form of sport from
football to golf, showjumping and
handball. You name it, he loved it.
I am glad to say that his granddaughter Anna who is here this
evening is following in his footsteps and is very attached to horses as well as camogie. Maybe some
year, she too will sit up here as one
of the twelve. I continue to be
astounded by the standard of
achievement in sport in this Garda
District.”
He paid tribute to the leadership of Supt. Leacy and thanked
Eddie Fitzpatrick, who is now
retired, but who steered the
Award so successfully in the twenty years since its inception, now
handing over to his successor,
Aidan McCarthy. He thanked the
adjudicators and wished John A.
Murphy a speedy return to good
health.
Concluding the proceedings
former International athlete,
Jamie Costin congratulated the
young sportspeople on their dedication and their achievements to
date.
You must remember that there
will be only one winner here this
evening,” he said, “When times
get tough, as they will, you must
knuckle down, face the challenges
and believe in yourselves.
“I want you all to walk away
from here tonight believing in
yourselves and aspire to the very
best you can. You may be disappointed, but you are in a very
good position. You must continue
to train hard and get out there
over the next weeks and years and
give competition your full commitment so that you will succeed.”
The evening was rounded off
with light refreshments served by
the Social Committee.
TWELVE NOMINEES
The twelve nominees were:
Laura Connors (Showjumping);
Patrick Curran (Hurling); Ryan
Donnelly
(Hurling);

West Waterford Athletic Club Juveniles
Tough conditions at Aviva Munster
Schools Cross Country
WEST Waterford’s athletes competing at the Aviva Munster
Schools cross country championships in Carriganore last
Thursday helped five local schools
qualify for the Aviva All-Ireland
Schools championships. Rain early
in the day made conditions very
tough for the athletes but they
ploughed through the mud and
up the hills to give their all for their
schools. The highest place West
Waterford finisher on the day was
Hannah Power. Competing for the
Ard Scoil she crossed the line in 3rd
place in the junior girls race. With
individual medals for the top six
several other West Waterford
athletes made it onto the podium
including Emma Hallahan (St.
Augustine’s) 4th in the Minor girls,
Michéal Power (St. Augustine’s)
4th in Junior boys, Sinead Flynn (St.
Augustine’s) 5th in the inter girls
and Sean Curran (CBS) 6th in the
inter boys. Others to finish in the
top 10 were Aoife Hamilton
(Meanscoil San Nioclas) who
finished 7th in the junior girls
Cliona Ryan (Ard Scoil) 8th in the
inter girls,
Lucy O’Brien
(Blackwater C.S.) 8th in the senior
girls, Rachel Wyley (St. Augustine’s)
10th in the minor girls and Patrick
Walsh (CBS) 10th in the minor boys
and all have qualified for the AllIreland championships. In addition
Kate McGrath, Sarah Walsh, Chloe
Fennell, Caoimhe Dwyer, Dairina
Ni Sheanlaoich, Bronagh Condon
and Sarah Wyley all qualified with
the St Augustine’s and Ard Scoil
teams that finished first and
second in the team events. Aidan
McKenna (St. Augustine’s) Niall
Blackwell and Shane O’Riordan
(both CBS) and Meg Ryan (Scoil
San Nioclas) all finished in the top
twenty but just missed out on a
place in the all Irelands championships.
PAT NOCTOR SUPREME YOUNG
SPORTS STAR AWARDS
Athletics enjoys a very proud
tradition in the Pat Noctor awards
with athletes having won the
award on 9 occasions over the past
20 years. Kate Veale has won the
award an unprecedented four
times was one of the finalists last
Friday night. Injury curtailed Kate’s
achievements this year and
although she competed in the
world championships she did not
reach the same heights as she had
done in other years.
Her achievements brought her
to the final twelve but were not
enough for a fifth win. Kate now
heads into senior athletics and we
wish her the best as she makes this
difficult transition. Aoife Hamilton
was a first time finalist at this event
after an outstanding Cross
Country season that saw her win
individual medals at All-Ireland
level and lead her County and
province to gold medals. She is one
to watch in the future.
Congratulations to this years joint
winners Ryan Donnelly and Patrick
Curran.
The juvenile committee of West
Waterford A.C. would like to
extend their deepest sympathies
to Julie and the Buest family on
the death of their mother Marie.
Waterford glory at Aviva
Munster Schools Cross
Country Championships
THERE was glory for young
Waterford athletes at the Aviva
Munster Schools Cross Country
Championships on Thursday. The
event, which took place on the
Carriganore course at the
Waterford Institute of Technology,
saw 12 medals for the county.
First up was Molly Hutchinson
from Ursuline Waterford who had
a third place finish in the Minor

second respectively in the Junior
Girls team event securing places at

there was a second place for De La
Salle while St. Augustine’s picked

securing a second place spot.
In the Senior Girls race there
was more glory for Waterford.

in the team event with Blackwater
CS from Lismore finishing behind
them in third. All of whom are
not guaranteed a place at the
Aviva All-Ireland Schools Finals
next month.

Mullins rules supreme at
star-studded Leopardstown
CHAMPION Trainer Willie Mullins took no prisoners on Saturday’s starstudded card at Leopardstown, saddling the winner of three of the
four Grade 1s as part of an amazing four timer. The highlight of his day
unquestionably came in the featured Hennessy Gold Cup, with his Sir
Des Champs getting revenge over the valiant Flemenstar by 11/4 lengths
under Davy Russell.
The most dramatic of Mullins’ wins came in the Dr. P.J. Moriarty
Chase, with his Boston Bob rallying back from seemed certain defeat
to snatch the verdict by a nose under Paul Townend.
That formed the middle leg of a treble for Townend on Mullins’
other two winners, with him riding Champagne Fever to a 11/4 lengths

The eight-year-old jumped
exceptionally well on his way

Winter League enters
the final stages for 2013
Allrounder
Sports Shop
THE end of the winter league is
finally in sight. It’s a given that
everyone will pull out all the stops
tonight and next week in the last
ditch attempt to get a personal
best time. Remember, it‚s the person with the least amount of
points that wins and that person
doesn’t always come out of division one.
There are some people in division 2 with lower points than
those in division one so the eventual winner is the person with the
lowest points regardless of the
division he or she is in.
Once again, the weather was in
the runners‚ favour and with 14
great nights so far out of 16, here’s
hoping that the remaining couple
of weeks will be just as good.
STARTING TIMES FOR WEEK 15
It will be fast and furious again
this week as there will be 30
seconds between each group
tonight.
MYSTERY TOUR
The Mystery Tour will take place
on Friday night, February 22nd in a
secret location. The meeting place
will be in Minnie’s Bar Abbeyside
at 7 o’clock and from there the bus
will collect the runners and transport them to the designated location and will bring you back to
Dungarvan at the end of the
night. Anyone wishing to go on
the Mystery Tour must give their
name and €5 at the desk tonight
in order to secure your seat on the
bus. Names will be taken on a first
come, first served basis so don’t be
left at home. Get your name in
a.s.a.p.
JAMES O’DONNELL STILL
LEADS THE LONG ROUTE
The first runner home last week
was newcomer Nicky Connolly in a
great time of 33.30. Kevin
O’Connor has been doing really
well since moving up to the long
route and he continued to show
this improvement when taking
second place in 38.46.
Patrick Holland finished third in
44.27 so he will surely dip below 44
minutes before the end of the
league. In fourth place with 49.59
was Mary Whyte, well done Mary.
Pat Murphy in fifth place with
40.30 will have sub 40 as his target
tonight. Robert O’Connor was
sixth with 35.53. Marian Keane
took 7th place with 44.59 and is
now top of her division as a result.
Anna Ballot in 8th place will be
pleased to have broken 42
minutes with 41.57 and Denise
Nugent in 9th place will be another happy camper with her much
improved time of 44.41. Finally, in
10th place was Patrick Lannen
with a great time of 34.29. The
battle of the divisions was keenly
contested but it’s still James
O’Donnell who is still in the lead
but only just with 21 points to
spare over previous leader Niall
Collins and Jason Dee is still holding onto third.

EAMON FLAVIN LOOKS TO BE
HOME AND DRY IN THE SHORT
ROUTE
First home last week was newcomer Gary Cantwell in a time of
14.12. Emma Duffy in second place
was pleased to have dipped under
21 minutes with 20.58.
The best improver of all the runners that have been doing the
league since the start was Jenny
Devine and she was third overall
on the night with a great time of
22.38. John Leahy who has made a
return from injury was 4th with
16.51 and Sharon Murray is another to make a comeback from
injury and she was in fifth place
with 22.22, well done Sharon.
Finishing in 6th place was Gillian
Roche with a time of 25.17 so she
will surely break 25 minutes
tonight. Ciara Dower who finished
in 7th place with 20.16 was
unlucky not to break 20 minutes
but this will be her target tonight.
Martina Barron (27.21) wasn’t
hanging around as she finished
8th on the best improvers list. In
9th place was James Foley with
16.28 and in 10th place was
Eamon Flavin which has helped
him consolidate his overall lead.
Eamon looks to be a sure winner in the short route but at the
same time it’s not as if he can take
it easy as it’s possible to gain 50 or
so points each night and with 2
nights to go Eamon will still have
to continue to do his best as Edna
Roche and Gerry Cummins are certainly not out of the frame yet.

EAMON PUTS ON THE “POWER”
TO BREEZE TO VICTORY
The winner of the weekend
competition kindly sponsored by
Ger Wyley Sports Dungarvan was
Eamon Power (14) with a blistering
32 points. Eamon had no fewer
than 8 three point holes and one 4
pointer and even managed the lux-
ury of a blank on the ninth as he
coasted to victory. His 32 points was
easily good enough for the win this
week with the highlights of his
round being birdies at the 3rd and
the 12th.
Second place went to a man
who has been showing good form
of late, namely Vice-President Tim
O’Leary (16) who claimed his spot
on a count-back on the last 6. Tim
got off to a flyer with a birdie at the
1st hole and finished in fine fashion
with another birdie at the last to
compile an excellent score of 30
points, his birdie at the last crucial
to winning on the last 6.
Readers of the notes in recent
months are well used to seeing
Michael Keane’s name up in lights
and this week was no different.
Michael claimed third spot on a
count-back winning on the last
hole. Michael actually had recorded
a total tally of 31 points but penalties reduced that to 30 and he still
got to the podium. If Brandt
Snedeker is the hottest form golfer
on the PGA tour right now then we
have no doubt Michael Keane is
certainly the man in Lismore.
The unlucky men this week were
Jamie Keating and Vice Captain
Peter Whelan whose 30 points just
missed out on the prizes. Share a
wished Tom White a speedy recovery.

laughter from all players.
Presentation of prizes took place in
the Bunker Bar, with ladies and
gents finals of Winter League and
waltz competition, delicious finger
food was served which was greatly appreciated.
We are much indebted to Maria
Quinn of the Moorings Bar &

and look forward to having her on
board again next year. Heartiest
congrats to the winning league
team captained by Joan O’Dea
and the runners-up captained by
Mary Kiely who put in a sterling
effort for every round.
I think this may be termed as
Team Work!!
Congratulations
to
Lady

Breda in coming 1st and 2nd with
their teams in the waltz competition, well done to all!! A big thank
you to everyone involved in making the day such a success, especially Bob who makes sure all goes
smoothly!
thought also for Liam Feeney who
shot a one under round of 29
points and only came approx 10th!!
DERMOT O’LEARY AGRI SPRING
LEAGUE ROUND 3
The scoring this week was a sure
sign that the competitive juices are
in full flow as the league is beginning to hot up. We had one 32, one
31, three 30’s, and no fewer than
seven 29 pointers, which is a fair testament to both the players and the
condition of the course in such trying weather conditions. Whilst our
pre-tournament favourite teams of
Liam Feeney and Eamon O’Shea
are producing the goods as expected, they are not having it all their
own way as the chasing pack are
really putting it up to them.
Remember it is the top team in
each section plus the best overall
runner up team that will go forward. We also have the Plate section and Category prizes for each
line of the league. With 4 scores to
count from 6 each week there is a
lot of golf to be played before we
can determine our semi finalists.
Section 1 is getting tighter and
tighter as the weeks go by. As predicted, positions on the leader
board here are changing from
week to week. Frank Roche holds
the slenderest of leads with 11
points but with 3 more teams on 10
points it could not be tighter.
Declan Glavin and his troops have
been making excellent progress
after a slow start and have now
become the form team. This week
they amassed a staggering total of
114 points, the highest weekly
score to date and claimed the 5
points.
Their team score of 114 consisted
of Declan with 26, Michael O’Grady
27, Alf Barden with 29 and weekly
winner Eamon Power with 32, a
team scoring average of 28.5!!!
Frank Roche in reclaiming top spot
had a weekly score of 113, the 2nd
highest score of the year and they
must consider themselves unlucky
not to have gained all 5 points.
Frank’s 24 along with Pat Lane 29,
Jamie Keating and Tim O’Leary
with 30, was how they amassed
such a fine total. Brendan Hannon
and Patsy Heaphy’s teams will also
have a huge say here so it is anyone’s guess as who the winner will
be.
Section 2 is getting tighter with
Colm Burke and his gang claiming
the 5 points, cutting Liam Feeneys
lead down to the bare minimum.
John Whelan and Kevin Roche and
their men could also still have a say
as this develops. Colm himself looks
to be back to near his best shooting
29 this week on top of two previous
28s. Colm was ably assisted by ViceCaptain Peter Whelan who is also
showing great early season form
with 30 this week to follow up his
28 and 29.
Both men look to be in the
shake-up for their respective categories so they have two goals still
well in their sights. Other excellent
scores in this section were Liam
Feeney, Colum Murphy, and P. J.
Coughlan all with 29.
Section 3 saw the other pre-tournament favourites (Eamon O’Shea)
lose their lead at the top as our
Captain John McGrath and his
team have now taken over the top
spot. Kevin Foley was John’s main
man with 28 as they claimed the
valuable 5 points on a count back
to the fifth card. Although it looks
like a straight shoot out between
John and Eamon and their respective teams, the other team scores
may still have a big bearing on proceedings. Other notable scores in
this section were Ted O’Leary and
Patsy O’Donoghue with 28,
Maurice Cahillane 29, and the
legend that is Michael Keane with
31.
For the rest of you mere mortals
all is not lost as the winning teams
in the early rounds only get 5 points
and with higher points value on
offer towards the end, it means
that there is still lots of points to be
played for.
A.O.B.

Fixtures.
TWENTY YEARS A GROWING
1966 was another memorable
year for the club with Justin Spratt
as Captain, Michael French as
President and Mary Ronayne as
Lady Captain. The club got a huge
boost early in the year with the
election of our founder Captain Pat
Murphy to the Munster Branch of
the Golfing Union of Ireland. It
was great recognition for this relatively new club and for an individual who has devoted most of his
life to the game. The inaugural
Senior Scratch Cup was won by
Johnny Kavanagh from Castletroy,
while John Murphy captured the
Captain’s Prize this year. David
Walsh was to accept the President’s
Prize from Michael French. Our
first ever open week at West
Waterford surpassed our wildest
expectations with members and
visitors turning out in force in perfect golfing conditions.
Over the Christmas the flags at
West Waterford flew at half mast
in a fitting tribute to the memory
of a great friend and legendary
golf course designer Eddie Hackett
who passed on to greener fairways
in the sky.
1997 saw Billy Nugent take over
as Captain and Frank Walsh
assume the duties of President.
Mary Ronayne passed the Ladies
Captaincy to Frances Carroll. Alan
Harty became the first player from
the club to represent Ireland when
he played for the Irish Boys. The
Captain’s Prize was won by Tom
Butler with Jenny Sweeney (RIP)
taking the Lady Captain’s Prize.
Dungarvan CBS represented by
Alan Harty, David Morrissey and
Mark Shanahan won the Munster
Final of the Irish Schools and later
went on to win the Irish Finals. The
boys also won the Munster Final of
the Fred Daly.
Finally the annual Lions Club
WLR Hamper Appeal raised €1,216
for some very worthy causes.
We are indebted to life member
Pat Murphy for his assistance in
compiling the content for this section each week.

HISTORIC TALK
The Clubhouse was filled to
capacity on Friday night last as
golfers and non golfers alike
attended the historic talk on the
Blackwater. Guest speaker Mrs.
Eileen O’Callaghan shared her own
experiences combined with her
vast knowledge of the Blackwater
area in a professional presentation
to the large attendance. Based on
the reaction we can look forward
to similar events at West Waterford
in the future. Justin Spratt would
like to thank everyone for their
support and all proceeds go
towards the building of a hospital
in Marimanti, Kenya.
CARDS
Friday, 15th February, 8.30 p.m.
Come along and enjoy a game of

CARE OF THE COURSE
We have been most fortunate
to have the opportunity to proceed
with our competitions despite the
unfavourable weather conditions.
This is made possible due to the
Trojan efforts of our course staff.
The Tuesday crew continue to carry
out the extra improvements
around the course. Everyone can
help by repairing pitch marks and
by adhering to the signs and roped
off areas around the course. West
Waterford celebrates its twentieth
anniversary this year and you will
see a number of improvements as
the year progresses. Your support is
greatly appreciated.

WEEKLY REVIEW
Another busy weekend in our
football calendar starting with the
under 11 grade. Our (B) side were
due to pit their wits against
Kilmacthomas, but unfortunately
this fixture fell by the wayside at
the last minute. Meanwhile, our
11(A) outfit welcomed De La Salle
in a fixture that would see our lads
keep pace with the others teams
at the top of the league. I am glad
to say after a good performance
we emerged winners on the day.
More action followed in the u-13
grade and first up was our (A)
team who welcomed Tramore, this
tie normally proves to be a tight
affair, and so it proved once again,
with the visitors shading it by a
single goal. The afternoon kick-off
saw our (B) team take to the field
against De La Salle, to date this
squad has performed admirably,
but alas on this occasion lost out by
2-1.
WEEKLY LOTTO
No winner of last week’s lotto,
so the jackpot numbers drawn
were: 4, 22, 7, so it now grows to
€2,050. Tommy Reynolds, c/o John
Sullivan was the recipient of the
€100. Please take the time to try
support our club in any way you
can.
LOTTO SUPPORT
As with most clubs running their
own fundraising lotto, we at
Dungarvan United rely heavily on
any extra income. It allows us to
maintain our facilities and equipment needed to function on a
daily basis. We sell lotto tickets in
our club lobby every Saturday
between 1-3 pm. Or simply call
087-6203912, 087-9087017, 0872357075 for any further assistance
needed on buying tickets.
ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE
We are in the planning process
for entering this year’s Parade with
our Academy and any other teams
that we may enter, if any Academy
or other parents can help by being
a steward on the day, please contact 087-6203912.
EASTER FOOTBALL CAMP
We intend to hold a football
coaching camp during the Easter
holidays. This will be an enjoyable
few days. Full details in the coming
weeks.
U-14A LEAGUE: TRAMORE
AWAY THIS SATURDAY
We travel to Tramore on
Saturday morning to play the one
side we have not encountered in
the league yet. It will be a tough
match as they have steadily
climbed the table after an indifferent start. We will need to prepare
well as always and give it our best.
TRAINING
We had training yesterday
(Tuesday) and again tomorrow
Thursday to get ourselves ready for
the match Saturday. It is important
that all players attend training ses-
sions and if unable to do so contact
the manager via text or call at 087
1940089 to clarify the non attendance.
SPONSORSHIP CARDS
All players will by now have
received their sponsorship cards
for the MASSIVE FLOODLIGHT
FUNDRAISER. It is imperative that
every effort is made to fill the card
so we can achieve the ultimate
goal for the kids to play their
league matches under lights next
season. It will be a great experience for all the youngsters in the
club to sample and savour. When a
card is full please return to the
manager asap.
WATERFORD WOMEN’S
LEAGUE UNDER 12 GIRLS
Cappoquin 2;
Dungarvan United 4.
After six weeks without a game
the girls picked up where they left
off with another win, this time
away at Cappoquin last Thursday
evening. It’s a very young team this
season with lots of under 10s and
11s. They are doing remarkably
well considering many only started
playing in September.
We will start a girls academy in
early March to run after the current Academy sessions on Saturday
afternoons.
The academy will be for girls
born in 2003 and 2004. It will provide a good opportunity for
younger players to play non competitively and learn the game.
We took a two nil lead in the
first half in Cappoquin with goals
from Dearbhla and Sarah Lacey.
Sarah Duggan Sullivan also went
close shooting narrowly wide after
a great run. Clodagh and Emily
extended our lead to 4 nil in the
second half.
Mary Kate came on in the second half playing very well. She has
made great progress in a few
months. Cappoquin fought their
way back in to the match in the
last 15 minutes scoring two wellearned goals. The match finished
4-2.
The girls were pleased with the
outcome. They have now won
four and drawn one of the five
league games played so far.
Thanks to the parents who gave
lifts and support on a very cold
evening.
CONGRATULATIONS
JENNIFER
Congratulations to Jennifer
Moore,

Estate,

manager. Well done from all at the
club.
DRILL OF THE WEEK
2v2 Quick Attacking, Soccer
Drills.
SET-UP
Create a grid approximately 25
X 40 yards. This is a large field for 2
v 2, but this is intentional as it will
create more breakaway situations
and will encourage players to
attack the space while going to
goal.
Place a small goal or Pugg goal
on each end line.
Split the team into 2 equal
groups, one with an alternate jersey color.
Assign each player a partner on
his team. These players will continue to be teammates throughout
the entire soccer drill.
Assign each team a goal to
defend.
2 players from each team step
out to play 2 v 2. The remaining
players should line up across their
defensive end line with a large
supply of balls.
Instructions
Play 2v2 inside the grid to the
small goals.
If a team gets scored on they
step off and two new team members step on with the ball. They
look to get a quick attack on the
team that just scored.
As a team scores they must
quickly transition to stop the quick
attack.
The scoring team stays on the
field and plays 2v2 until they get
scored on.
If the ball goes out of bounds,
the ball restarts from a teammate
on their end line. Players only
switch after their group gets
scored on.
First team to 20 wins.
Variations
Modify the size of the grid and
play 3v3 or 4v4 depending on the
number of players you have.
Coaching Points
Quick transition after scoring a
goal.
Quick attack trying to off balance the defense.
Pick the right time when to beat
a defender on the dribble and
when to pass around defenders.
PLAY WITH SPEED. Make sure
the game is quick, fast paced and a
lot of goals are being scored.

in Dungarvan for next season.

(Ramblers win 3-1 on pens)
Our young team put in a superb
performance in Cappoquin on
Saturday last to qualify for another semi final and are all set to challenge for both the league and cup
over the next month or so. Caelin
Rooney gave us the lead but goalkeeper Finn O'Sullivan made some
great saves to keep us ahead but
eventually Cappoquin scored and
the game went to extra time.
The Ramblers piled on the pressure to try and score but in the end
it was penalties to decide the winner. Finn O'Sullivan was the hero
again in the shootout, like last
year’s final as he saved three penalties and Caelin Rooney, Kian Carey
and Josh Fitzgerald all score for us
put us in the semi final. Well done
all concerned!!

off to a great start with a well
taken goal by Tommy Carbery just
after 5 minutes. But it was
Wexford who began to dominate,
scoring in the 14th minute. With
their early momentum lost,
Waterford struggled to reassert
their superiority. Wexford were
unlucky not to have notched up 2
more goals at the end of the first
session, thanks to some great goalkeeping from Andrew Cushin.
The second session started off as
the first session ended with
Wexford scoring just after one
minute of play. Waterford soaked
up the pressure and a break in the
23rd minute resulted in a goal by
Dylan Harrington. Wexford retaliated by scoring two minutes
later leaving them 3-2 ahead
going into the final 25 minute session.
Waterford found their resolve
and started to take control of the
game. In the 18th minute the
Wexford goalie had his kick-out
blocked by James Power who
scored, putting the teams level for
the first time. Waterford continued to dominate, and in injury
time James Power clinched victory
for the Blues. Scoreline 4-3.
The Waterford U-12s travel to
Bandon next Sunday.

RECENT CLUB WALKS 3-2-13
C GRADE WALK
IN KILROSSANTY,
Leader: Noel Kelly
Rain has a habit of turning the
straightest path into a quagmire.
The 15 C Walkers who braved the
gale force winds on the hill near
Kilrossanty Cross slipped and slid
through heather, grass that had
been clipped away by sheep and
trails that were slick with mud. The
rain sweeping across the valley
didn't stop the walkers from
enjoying the stunning views from
the ridge, especially since we were
up high enough to escape the rain.
Nonetheless, leader Noel Kelly
took the responsible decision of
avoiding the climb to the cross and
instead led us down a slope so
steep that one of the walkers was
heard to remark: "The only
civilised way to get down this slope
is to ski it." Any claims that this
walker and the author of this
update are one and the same person will be vehemently denied.
Thanks to Noel Kelly, who coped
admirably with a landscape drastically altered by constant rain.
B GRADE WALK
CUTEEN
Billy Sheehan led the club’s B
walk on Sunday February 3rd, with
9 in the group (all men). We
immediately decided that this was
a “Yorkie Walk”. Starting at the
wood entrance to Cuteen we
walked over towards the stream in
Cuteen north. Shortly before the
stream we turned west into the
coum and contoured around the
back of spot height 534m which
we nicknamed the "pimple" some
time ago. From there we followed
a good track back to a fence and
climbed to the ridge leading to
Seefin.
Here we met another club
member out on his own and he
joined us for the rest of the walk.
The wind was really wild on top as
we made our way to the shelter on
Seefin. After a break on top we
went down Casey’s road to the
firebreak and met yet another
club member out on a solo walk.
He took a group photo for us
before heading off into the fog.
From the firebreak in the wood
we contoured back to Barr na
Madra gap. Here we met a group
of 18 students from Trinity College
who were spending their weekend hiking in the Comeragh
Mountains. They had walked the
Nire Valley area the day before
and were walking from the
Mauma road to Milk Hill today. It
was nice to meet so many young
people out on the hills. From the
gap we climbed up to
Coumaraglin mountain and carried on around the top of Coum
Model Holly Carpenter with two time Rás winner and former Olympian Ciaran Power, left and Postman Paul
O'Meara, from Fairview, who works the O'Connell Street route, at the launch of the 2013 An Post Rás, at
the GPO, O'Connell Street, Dublin, which will begin on Sunday, May 19th, in Dunboyne, and finish on
Sunday, May 26th, in Skerries.

Above Gearhameen Glen.
Eag keeping well to the right of
the cliffs in the strong wind still
blowing.
Heading down the shoulder
from Coum Eag we briefly saw the
club’s C group in the valley below.
After the long and steep descent
we carried on along the forest
track to the cars. This walk was 17k
with a height gain of 860 m taking
us 4 hours 30 minutes to complete.
A GRADE WALK
KERRY 9-2-13
On Saturday, February 9th a
small group headed to Kerry to do
the circuit of the Gearhameen
Glen. Leaving town at 5.45 a.m.
we drove to Killarney and on
through the Gap of Dunloe into
the Black Valley. After making our
way along the narrow winding
road we parked at a small layby
beside the Gearhameen river. We
then walked up the glen at the
side of Lough Reagh as far as a picturesque waterfall where we
turned northwest and made a
long
500m
climb
to
Broaghnabinnea 745m.
Up to this point the weather
had been very kind to us with
great views but this ended as we
approached the summit and the
fog rolled in. From here on it was
mostly fog and mist for the day.
Dropping
down
from
Broaghnabinnea we climbed to
Stumpa Duloigh 784m via a long
rocky ridge with occasional views
into the Bridia Valley on our right
and Lough Dubh on the left.
Leaving Stumpa we descended to
a boggy saddle and climbed a
short distance to Knocknabreeda
569m. After this it was a long and
Gearhameen Horseshoe
slow descent over rough terrain to
the waterfall seen earlier in the
day and back again by the lake to
the car. Overall at 14.5k this was a
short A grade walk, but with
1250m climbing in rough terrain
and fog it took us nearly six hours
to complete.
Satisfied with our day (a must
do walk again on a clear day as the
views are reported to be spectacular) we made our way back
through the gap to Kate Kearney’s
for our usual bowl of soup before
heading home, arriving in
Dungarvan at 18.10 p.m. almost 12
and a half hours after leaving.

Cunnigar Pitch & Putt
SPONSORED SCRAMBLE
Our course finally dried out sufficiently for us to hold our first
sponsored competition of the year.
Our Saturday Scramble (sponsored
by Dalton Jewellers, Main Street,
Dungarvan), which had to be cancelled on two occasions due to our
waterlogged course, finally took
place on Saturday, 9th February. It
was great to see so many entrants
in this competition, considering
the long lay-off we had due to the
weather.
Despite the fact that some of
our members were unavoidably
delayed due to road diversions,
the game was completed in diminishing daylight and everyone was
delighted to have the opportunity
to return to playing pitch and putt.
We have to give a “Bualadh Bos”
to the course committee on the
excellent condition of the course,
which they maintained during the
dreadful weather over the past
few weeks.
Scramble Result: Nett: Margaret
Shanahan and Paddy Noonan;
Gross: Mary Walsh and Michael
Delaney.

will
continue.

Taekwon-Do Club
attend Fun day in Cork
ON Saturday, 2nd February
twenty-one
children
from
Dungarvan Taekwon-do Club
attended
the annual Junior
Taekwon-do Fun-day in the Little
Island Sports Centre, Co. Cork. All
students took part in some fun
Taekwon-Do sparring matches
wearing body protectors. This
event is run by Cork, Waterford
and Tipperary clubs and it is one of
the most popular Taekwon-Do
events, in Munster. This year was
the largest yet with 163 participants all under 12 years of age.
These junior competitions help
children to successfully manage
feelings of anxiety and fear in
order to achieve a good performance. These feelings are the
same ones that bullies and other
real life aggressors prey on. We are
not born confident; it is a learned
habit.
This event though is primarily a
funday, the four different giant
Bouncy castles and obstacle
courses that made certain the
emphasis was on fun. All the
children attending received a
participation trophy a great first
achievement in Taekwon-do. This
day is seen as a stepping stone for
our students before serious
competition.
Our next funday is in
Dungarvan in April.

3 World Champions to
compete in Dungarvan Sports
Centre on Thursday night
THIS is the final week of the training camp in Dungarvan for the
Russian and Ireland National boxing teams. On Thursday night
there will be a test match in the
Sports Centre and it is opened to
the public. The match starts at 7.30
p.m. and admission is just €5.
The Russian team includes 3
World Champions and the I.A.B.A.
are bringing in some of Ireland’s
top senior boxers to compete
against them.
Last Thursday night proved to
be a great success but the World
Champions were a bit too strong
for Irelands Junior side. On the
whole the Irish boys held their
own with this very strong Russian
side especially at the lower
weights.
Both teams are enjoying their
time in Dungarvan and are full of
praise for the hospitality shown to
them by the Town Council, the
Sports Centre Staff and the management and staff of Lawlors
Hotel.
Also the assistance of Willie
Bumster Coach Hire for facilitating
the Russian Team.
There will be a farewell DISCO
in DAVITTS on Friday night 8 till 11
p.m. This is a junior Disco with no
alcohol and will be strictly supervised, all are welcome.
Both teams are departing on
Saturday and hopefully we will see
them again in Dungarvan. If not I
have no doubt we will see some of
them in the RIO OLYMPICS this is
the calibre of boxers we have in
Dungarvan on both teams, so
don’t miss your last chance to see
them in action on Thursday night.

years up and there are 3 classes for
these. Plus that in 2 of these classes
