 Record numbers for Youghal's 4th Annual Medieval Festival!
On Sunday last 22nd August 2010, visitors flocked in their
thousands to the stunning surroundings of St. Mary's College
Gardens in Youghal for the 4th Annual Youghal Medieval
Festival. Events were planned to coincide with The Irish Walled
Towns Network celebrations of National Heritage Week.
Official figures on the day saw in excess of 8,000 people visit the
free annual event over the course of the day, a record number for
the event. The glorious sunshine made the inclement weather of
the event in 2009 a distant memory!
was of course on hand throughout the entire day to report on pro-
ceedings throughout the afternoon.
Clodagh Mahon of Youghal Heritage said: "The event was a
tremendous success and the support we've seen from the business
community in the town deserves a huge acknowledgement. We
received some fantastic spot prizes for our raffle and I would like
to give them a big thank you on behalf of the committee. I would
also like to take the opportunity to thank our many hard working
volunteers who worked tirelessly before, during and after the
event. Festivals like these rely heavily on volunteers and it's great
to see such community spirit".
Youghal Medieval Festival was organised by The Youghal
Municipal Heritage Committee and was funded by the Heritage
Council of Ireland and Youghal Town Council.

Celebrations kicked off at 12.00 pm where the 'Medieval Village'
played host to an abundance of performers, guests and festival
goers all of whom came out in support of the event. The renowned
'Freelance Knights of Redemption' from Wexford undertook a full Mayor Mary-Linehan pictured with Helen Coady, Aileen Ahern, David Joyce and

encampment visitors were mesmerised by the archery display and
huddled around the roasting 'lamb on the spit' to observe the won-
derful styles of medieval cookery.
This year the 'Kids Kingdom' played host to some of the best activ-
ities seen at the festival to date. The 'Mumbo Jumbo Circus
Workshop' was a flurry of excitement and activity as kids of all
ages learned how to stilt walk or ride a unicycle. The bouncy cas-
tle area was a major attraction as children braved the obstacle
course over and over again.
This year the 'Kids Kingdom' saw the re-introduction of tradition-
al arts & crafts fun. Speaking on behalf of the organising commit-
tee Catherine Desmond said: "Parents were delighted with the con-

create their own Medieval Hats and Shields which they could then
wear and bring home as a souvenir. Each year the committee tries
to incorporate a good balance of fun, education and heritage into
the festival and I think it's fair to
say that we achieved just that.
Not only did we organise a

 EMER CASEY
FOUNDATION HELPS
ACQUIRE HIGH TECH
EQUIPMENT IN CANCER
DETECTION FIGHT
By Christy Parker
The Emer Casey Foundation has reached another important mile-
stone on the long road towards improving early detection rates of
uterine/ovarian cancer. Eighteen months ago, the Dublin-based
oncology research group, DISCOVARY - headed by Trinity
College Dublin's Department of Histopathology acquired Ireland's
first ever SOLiD™ 2nd Generation Sequencing platform.
Through the work of the Emer Casey Foundation funding became
available to contribute towards the purchase of this machine.
SOLiD™ is a new technology that enables
scientists to examine the precise genetic con-
tent of patients' samples and enables this
complex research to be undertaken on a larg-
er scale, faster and more cost effectively than
ever before. Its acquisition will facilitate
world class research, with subsequent pub-
lishing in high impact journals. The Emer
Casey Foundation and all who supported this
fundraising endeavour can reflect with great pride on that reality.
The Emer Casey Foundation is currently supporting three Emer
Casey PhD fellows (Mairead Murphy, Lynda McEvoy and
Brendan Ffrench) whose work focuses on early detection of ovar-
ian cancer, chemoresistance and cancer stem cells. Mairead
Murphy's project involves screening bloods from ovarian cancer
patients in an attempt to identify novel markers, which can be
used to diagnose ovarian cancer at an early stage, to discriminate
between malignant and benign disease and to diagnose recurrent
disease. This research programme involves profiling the antibody
repertoire of ovarian cancer subjects and controls against a high
content human protein array. Identified markers will then be vali-
dated in a larger cohort of samples. Lynda McEvoy is working on
elucidating the genetic mechanisms involved in tumour resistance
to chemotherapy. A possible cause is the microenvironment of the
tumour, which is characterised by areas of poor oxygen supply
known as hypoxia. The results of various experimental studies
suggest that tumour hypoxia plays an important role in the devel-
opment of typical features of malignancy such as invasiveness,
metastatic potential, and resistance to treatment. An understand-
ing of the key elements and control of the hypoxia pathway could
reduce unnecessary chemotherapy treatment and toxicity, prolong
survival and lead to more effective therapy for ovarian cancer.
Brenda Ffrench is investigating cancer stem cells and their role in
ovarian cancer. There is increasing evidence that a subset of cells,
termed cancer stem cells (CSCs) or cancer initiating cells, (dis-
tinct from the bulk of tumour cells) are responsible for long-term
maintenance of tumour growth in several cancers. These CSCs
have a unique capacity for self-renewal and appear to be able to
reconstitute the tumor after traditional chemotherapy or radiother-
apy treatments. The SOLiD™ system will be an invaluable tool in
the above projects and will significantly advance this research.
In truth of course the fight against the 'silent killers' such as ovar-
ian/uterine cancer, is being waged through a marriage of technol-
ogy and the endeavours of those who continue to answer the calls
of the Casey family to support their fundraising events. Progress
belongs to all. "We can never sufficiently thank everyone for the
wonderful support they have given and continue to give to the
foundation," says Emer's mum Juliette. "Most importantly, it is
heartening to see the great strides being taken in the battle against
the disease thanks to everyone's efforts."
LATEST MILESTONE ON
AN INSPIRING JOURNEY
By Christy Parker
The Emer Casey Foundation was established in honour of 27 year-
old Emer Casey, who lost her life to uterine/ovarian cancer in
2006. The foundation has raosed over €500,000 thus far. This
money helps to fund three Phd researchers who focus specifical-
ly in the areas of chemo-resistance, cancer stem cells, circulating
tumour cells and the body's immune response to cancer. The three
young scientists assist the battle against the disease by contribut-
ing their findings to the Trinity College Dublin led DISCOVARY
consortium, a body composed of researchers from several interna-
tional institutions who undertake world-class research into ovari-
an and endometrial cancer. DISCOVARY's primary goal is to
understand these cancers, develop new early detection methods
and design novel treatment options.
DISCOVARY comprises gynaecologists, oncologists, patholo-
gists, molecular biologists, bioinformaticians, cell biologists, sur-
face chemists, pharmacologists and nurse specialists. Individual
projects are linked through investigators from Trinity College
Dublin, University College Dublin, Dublin City University and
the National University of Ireland Galway.
Last year DISCOVARY's leader, Professor John O'Leary of the
Department of Histopathology, Trinity College Dublin, was ful-
some in his praise for the foundation, the researchers it funds and
all who participate or otherwise partake in the various fundraising
efforts of movement at home and abroad.

AURA EXTENDS INVITE
TO STEP UP TO BOOT
CAMP CHALLENGE
Aura Youghal Leisure Centre has teamed up with energy drink
Powerade to introduce a new outdoor Boot Camp which is tailor
made to suit anyone who is prepared to step up to the challenge of
getting into shape in just five weeks. Aura Youghal introduced its
first Boot Camp last spring and the programme was so successful
in attracting participants and in helping them to achieve their fit-
ness goals that it is back by popular demand.
"The Boot Camp is an ideal way to exercise outdoors with friends
with workouts taking place each Monday and Thursday night for
five weeks. It provides an overall body workout helping people to
lose weight, tone up and get fit quickly," explained Tracy
Kenneally, Operations Manager at Aura Youghal Leisure Centre.
"The workouts are a combination of gym and fitness classes
focused on cardiovascular and muscle toning exercises to improve
fitness, aid weight loss and to improve muscle strength and stam-
ina," Tracy explained. "The weekly workouts provide a great
opportunity to get out, meet new people and have fun. All that is
required is a bit of motivation and discipline" added Tracy.
"It is all about getting people to make that commitment for the five
weeks. We ask people to set their own goals for the camp and
everyone works together in supporting each other to reach those
goals. People are always amazed what results they can achieve in
a short space of time," Tracy continued.
The Boot Camp gets underway on Wednesday, September 8th with
one hour training sessions taking place each Monday at 8 p.m. and
Thursday at 7 p.m. Each session includes a mix of press ups,
squats, lunges, sit-ups, crunches, jogging and sprinting.
The Boot Camp caters for all abilities and costs €79 in full for the
five weeks with a 10% discount for Aura members. Early booking
is advised as there are a limited number of places available. Those
enrolling will also receive a free Powerade t-shirt. Further infor-
mation on the Boot Camp is available by visiting Aura Youghal

signed up for €50 to contribute their efforts in an environment
intended to be a little more intense.
As it transpired, much was achieved throughout and the pace of
developments left Jim quite surprised. "I thought we might get it

amazing," he says. He pays tribute to the standard of the "excellent

Aglish Graveyard Maintaince Collection A few weeks ago we
included a little note in this column telling you all of the upcoming
annual collection for the wonderful team of men who maintain our
graveyard at Aglish on a voluntary basis. Great credit is due to both
of these men who keep the resting-place of our dearly departed
loved ones in such beautiful condition all year around. Because of
the poor response to the collection, it is possible many missed the
reminder for it on these notes, if you have not supported this collec-
tion and still wish to do so be sure to hand in your donation in an
envelope in the next week or two. If you were one of those who
already supported the collection your donation was very much-
appreciated thankyou very much indeed.

Pride of Place - down Woodland Way! Winners of the 2009
Neighbourhood Services and Support Award and over all winners of
the WLR FM - County Waterford Community and Voluntary 2009
Award - Kinsalebeg were back in the spotlight again having been
nominated to represent Waterford in the 2010 National Pride of
Place competition.
The "Pride of Place" competition first commenced in 2003, attract-
ing over 90 entries each year it is an all - island competition which
recognises improvements in local communities - it encourages peo-
ple to come together to enjoy all that is good in their area. No doubt
groups like Kinsalebeg inspired this competition
In Kinsalebeg - a small group of local ladies formed a social club
in the year 2000, ten years on and the group continue to go from
strength to strength. Their activities centre around a humble old
school building located in the heart of the local community. Initially
not content with just enjoying the comfort of regular organised
meetings the group began to look at all the possibilities of where
they could provide and improve services for people living in the
 WEST WATERFORD NOTES
area. As the Celtic tiger began to roar it became increasingly evident
that the needs of senior citizens living in rural areas were continu-
ally being over looked .With volunteering no longer fashionable it
became evident that many of these people were living in the com-
fort of their own homes but with little or no social integration with
others in the community .So the Thursday club was born
Here again all activities centred around the local community centre
but facilities needed to be improved. While funding was being pro-
vide for big extravert buildings around the country many of which
are now white elephants our group had to campaign tireless to go
secure ample funding to upgrade facilities here in the community
hall in Kinsalebeg. Our parish priest Fr Maurice O Gorman gave us
wonderful support right from the beginning, first allowing us to use
the hall for our weekly activities then supporting our refurbishment
project which commenced in 2007.
Today the centre is a hive of activities local clubs and groups use the
centre for meetings and activities. It is also used as an education
centre with VEC Classes with privately run classes taking place on
an on going basis. However the highlight of the week is the regular
meeting of our Thursday Club where over 60 plus senior citizens
come together for a social chat light refreshments cards bingo music
and lots more. They enjoy regular outings and organised talks on
issues which are of interest to them are also arranged. Presently
funded by section 39 HSE Grant the clubs initial membership was
just ten, with transport to and from the club being a major issue for
many. This co-inside with the formation of - The Deise Link - a bus
transport system set up to provide low cost public transport service
for people living in rural areas- Looking at how this service would
best serve the west Waterford community local bus operators James
O Donoghue and his team Maurice Fahy d. Mason Peter Deady and
John Daly on hearing the plight of many people needing transport to
the Thursday Club and similar gatherings in other communities met
the Kinsalebeg Community group to discuss the prospects and the
rest is history. We would like to sincerely thank these men for the
wonderful service they provide for our members it is very much
appreciated.
Pride of Place the Competition! The entire community who rallied
in around us again in the weeks that followed as we prepared for the
arrival of our judges for the pride of place competition. Our commu-
nity were just amazing everything we asked for even the most
impossible tasks were completed, grass was cut, verges were weed-
ed everything was painted and there was great excitement and buzz
around as everyone worked so hard to get our place looking great a
special word of thanks to our overseer Eddie and his team. Thank
you all so very much for taking pride in your place.
One month on and we were all back in the community centre again
on July 16th - as we welcomed judges Alison and Tom Doweling,
our mayor Paddy O Callaghan invited guests of the 2010 Pride of
Place Competition. All our local clubs and business hosted some
very professional stands around the hall and some wonderful
refreshments were provided. The day commenced with a wonderful
presentation video compiled by the Kinsalebeg community group
The judges were then taken on a guided tour of the area commenc-
ing at the church then on to the Piltown Ambush Memorial monu-
ment then back down to the local primary school and along by
woodbine hill taking in the beautiful millennium garden, the breath-
taking Ferry point and back to the centre where the judges enjoyed
refreshments were presented with two beautiful paintings of local
scenes work of local artist April Curtin.
Chairperson of the committee Margaret O Keeffe thanked judges
Alison and Tom Doweling mayor Paddy O Callagahan and all the
guests and everyone who came along on the day. She also thanked
Waterford co council for putting us forward for pride of place for all
their help at all times especially Johnny for his help She also
thanked all the local clubs and business who came together with
great interest and took great pride in their place!
Fr O Gormans Golden Jubilee Celebrations Earlier this year
here the Kinsalebeg Community group hosted the golden Jubilee
celebration for our parish priest Fr Maurice O Gorman. Celebrations
began with concelebrated mass in the nearby St Bartholomew's
church - Fr O Gorman was our chief celebrant, parishioners invited
guests and members of Fr O Gorman's family attended the mass.
Before the final blessing local man Matt Nolan on behalf of the
local community gave the following tribute which summed up this
most unasuming man who has devoted his life to the service of god
" For the past 20 years Fr O Gorman has served here as our parish
priest and during that time we have come to know a great deal about
the man. A man of quite disposition yet strong in his beliefs. A
deeply religious man devoted to his ministry who carries out his
duties with care and respect. A man possessed with great manage-
ment ability
Outside of his clerical duties he takes a keen interest in the future
generation of the parish as witnessed by his frequent visits to the
three primary schools. It is also very clear that he has great interest
in the education of the children of the parish when we look at the
new extension to the school and playground in Piltown NS and the
recently completed extension to Clashmore NS all carried out dur-
ing his management
A Keen follower of many sporting events such as horse racing he
can be seen in attendance at matches involving Clashmore at local
level and Waterford county teams. I am sure he must be very proud
of the contribution being made by his two nephews to the Waterford
co senior football team at present.
All of these exceptional qualities in a man formed I would believe
in the family home during his early childhood and were further
developed through his formal education years Beginning with his
primary education at Newtown NS Fourmilewater His secondary
education at Clonmel CBS and Rockwell College and his many
years spent in St Johns College studying for the priesthood
While the occasion we are celebration Today dates back to 1960 we
must not forget the 6 previous when in September 1954 he entered
St John's College Waterford to commence his studies
I was reliably informed recently that of the 34 students who
enrolled that year one left the very next day and after 6 years of
study Fr O Gorman was of 16 priests ordained on June 16th 1960
Here also we must acknowledge the part played by his family espe-
cially by his parents brothers and sister who helped I am sure in now
small way through support encouragement and sacrifice in making
this great day possible
Following his ordination his first appointment was to Hexam and
Newcastle In the North East of England and after 2 years he
returned to the Diocese of Waterford and Lismore to serve as curate
in various parishes such as Dunhill/ Fenor St John's Parish
Waterford Ardmore/ Grange. Lismore and finally arriving to
Clashmore / Kinsalebeg as parish priest in July 1990.
Upon his arrival to the parish in 1990 there is not doubt. But he had
some serious challenges ahead of him: - We did not have a church
here in Piltown the church in Clashmore was in need of serious ren-
ovation and the old school in piltown which was being used as a
church building was in need of repair But he met these challenges
head on and with the Co - Operation and support of the parishes the
able assistance and enthusiasm of his curate Fr Gerard O Connor
and most of all his calm leadership and guidance he set about recti-
fying the problems. It was during the construction of Piltown
church where his exception qualities and characteristics were seen
at their very best his attention to detail his watchful eye overseeing
the work as it progressed his provident management of finances and
his sound advice and guidance to the people of that time proved to
be invaluable and so in 1996 this new church which we are in this
evening was officially blessed and consecrated. I have no doubt that
this work will be remembered by Fr O Gorman as one of the great-
est achievements of his ministry and we the parishioners of his min-
ister and we the parishioners will be for ever grateful for his contri-
bution.
Congratulations on reaching this marvellous milestone in your min-
istry May god bless you and may you be with us for a long time to
come.
Following mass all converged at the community centre where this
momentous occasion was celebrated in style.
Our thanks to everyone who helped in any way to make this day so
special all who baked and helped prepare the hall.
 ARDMORE NOTES
Heritage Week.: To mark Heritage Week 2010, John Tierney
(Eachtra Archaeological Projects) spent a couple of hours on
Saturday morning conducting a multimedia record of St Declan's
Graveyard, a site which has been continuously occupied for 1500
years. Waterford County Library has made available a previous sur-
vey of the headstone inscriptions and the intention now is to start a
detailed photographic survey and plan of the graveyard. While living
participants were scarce, John did collect a significant amount of most
interesting local history from Tommy Mooney and the brilliant sun-
shine and blue skies provided a wonderful photographic background.
The graveyard in Mill and Churchquarter will also be surveyed later
in September.
New Bus Stop.: Well done to Bus Eireann for finally putting an offi-
cial Bus Stop in Grange. Many locals have been campaigning for this
for many years and it makes so much sense.
Sewage Eyesore.: Waterford County Council seems to have aban-
doned the Ardmore interim sewage treatment plant. This contract was
promised to be completed originally before the summer started, then
by the end of June and finally and definitely before the Ardmore
Pattern Festival. Of course none of these deadlines were met so they
had to fold up tent and close up the place as best they could to get out
of the way of the festival on July 23rd.
Now on August 30th they haven't come back since. Building screens
are thrown together surrounding the monstrous cover that looks like
it's going to dominate the middle of our car park for perpetuity with a
silly looking 5 metre footpath in front of it.
Our understanding is that the next phase of the contract will be hap-
pening next year and that will involve digging up the Main Street
from top to bottom. I wonder what are the chances of that being com-
pleted before the summer season?
Generations of Ardmorians have constantly worked towards improv-
ing our tourism product and services and most would agree that 2010
has been the best season for many years. Will Waterford County
Council commence our long-awaited sewage contract in January to be
completed before the summer or will they again wait til April and
undo the work of generations.
No more fishing.: Everyone in Ireland is aware that we have traded
in our fishing industry to Europe as a pawn for political gain. But
what I wasn't aware of until this week was exactly what that means in
practice. I knew our salmon fishing industry was closed down but I
didn't know that netting licences were still in existence for the privi-
leged few in some of our rivers. Nor did I know that our local fisher-
men can now fish for lobster only. I was absolutely amazed to discov-
er that that the centuries old practice of landing a box of common fish
like Cod, Pollock, Plaice or even the humble Macarel Ardmore is now
outlawed! Imagine the heritage our legislators have killed off with
this crazy regulation. For centuries and generations fishermen have
braved the elements to provide delicious fresh fish for the local pop-
ulation and this is now extinct, rather extinguished!
Tidy Towns Review.: The Tidy Towns Committee will review the
season gone by at a meeting in The Round Tower Hotel on Thursday
night at 8 pm. The Fás team and all the voluntary helpers are invited
to this meeting to conduct a SWOT analysis on our modus operandi.
(Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats).
Tourist Office Closes.: The Tidy Towns Committee have closed
down the Ardmore Tourist Office as of last weekend. We would like
to sincerely thank local auctioneer, Brian Gleeson for the complimen-
tary use of his offices for the entire season. Thanks also to excellent
staff, Fás workers Gerry O'Mahony and Patricia Langan and student
David Hennessy who 'manned the station' at weekends.
No funding is available from Bord Fáilte for a tourist office in
Ardmore so the Tidy Towns Committee took it on themselves to open
up themselves. Our Fás team covered the weekdays and many local
businesses very generously contributed to the weekend cover. To
them we express sincere gratitude because it could not have been
done without you. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the Tourist Office
was really worthwhile and widely used by visitors.
However, the committee will presently produce a report on the activ-
ities and will survey the business community to see if it's worth con-
tinuing and expanding the service or should we not bother with it
again.
Fleeing the nest.: These are certainly exciting times for many young-
sters and traumatic and expensive times for many parents. Several
families in the parish have been ushering their first born to secondary
schools for the first time. But even bigger excitement comes from
those whose eldest are entering third level for the first time. All the
excitement of getting their points, checking their CAO offers choos-
ing their course, traipsing around Cork, Limerick, Dublin or Galway
or maybe even in the UK or U.S.A. in search of accommodation.
Exciting and wonderful times they most certainly are, but costly and
emotional ones too.
So best wishes to the ones I'm aware of Katie Troy, Rebecca Power,
Thomas Conway, Stephen Hennessy, Cliona Byrne, Maeve Hickey,
Kate Glavin, Declan Power, Dan Carlton and Kevin Murphy and to
all the others who's names I've omitted. A special word to Ali Mooney
who has won a scholarship and has already departed for Mercyhurst
University in the U.S.A.
Return Visit.: While many are going away, it's nice to see some
return as well. Recently we had Dr John Burke and his wife and only
last Ardmore was delighted to welcome back Mrs.Margaret Melligan
to the village. A very lively 91 year old Mrs Melligan, who for years
ran that lovely, homely guest house in Tig Alainn spent a nostalgic
week relaxing in the village and catching up with old friends and
plans to return again next year!
St Mark Flies.: Ardmore and indeed all county Waterford had thou-
sands of unwelcome visitors over the past few weeks, in the shape of
St Mark Flies.This large black fly is widespread and common and it
can be found swarming over grassland or in the lee of bushes in May
and June with its long legs dangling below. The name comes from the
fact that the adults usually emerge around St Mark's Day, 25th April.
These flies are thought to play an important role in pollinating fruit
trees and other plants. The larvae feed on the roots of grasses and they
are occasionally cereal pests as well as on decaying organic matter
and are frequent in compost heaps. They are quite harmless as they
feed on plants larvae feeding on decaying or living matter in the soil
and often in compost heaps.
However, it is not uncommon for them to swarm in late August as
well and hence the recent presence. Indeed the magical summer we've
had has played many tricks on nature. Some shrubs are coming into
bloom for the second time this year. Many birds have produced sev-
eral hatches and indeed the survival rate of fledglings this summer has
been terrific. Crops too have been excellent and the harvesting season
remarkable. Fruit and vegetables have all benefited too, indeed when
I 'raided' a plum tree recently I remarked that never in my life have I
seen so much fruit on one tree! So it's not just tourism and us humans
that enjoy the sun! Wonder why the good Lord doesn't send us more
summers like this one?

ROBBED
By Christy Parker
Gardai are seeking a man in relation to a robbery at Sean Graham's
betting office in the North Main Street last Sunday evening, dur-
ing which a hammer was used to threaten staff. The man entered
the premises at about 6pm and gained access behind the counter.
Threatening the two female staff members, he seized a three fig-
ure sum from the till before escaping on foot in the direction of
Tallow Street.
Gardai suspect the thief is a local man in his mid to late 20's. He
is said to have to been wearing a dark hoody pulled tightly over
his face, track suits bottoms and white trainers. Gardai later visit-
ed the derelict, former Murray Kitchen's site as part of their inves-
tigations. They are hoping local CCTV coverage will assist them
in their in their efforts to identify and trace the culprit. "Any infor-
mation from the public on this matter would be greatly appreciat-
ed and treated with confidence," said a garda spokesman.

score it's hard to believe that we were right in it and dominating
possession at 1-10 to 0-10 with just a quarter of an hour to go.
However, the ease with which Ballinacourty scored thereafter,
despite a brilliant penalty save by Brian Keane was telling. Alan

 IT’S OFFICIAL! YOUGHAL
UNITED ARE GUINNESS
WORLD RECORD HOLDERS
Guinness recognizes club’s new world record for
“longest five-a-side soccer marathon”
After thirty-three and a half hours of non-stop, five-a-side soccer,
the hardest part of Youghal United’s quest to break the world
record for the longest five-a-side soccer match may have been the
eleven weeks they’ve had to wait to find out if their record-break-
ing attempt would be officially recognized by Guinness World
Records.
Last week event organizer Jock Gallogley got the following good
word from Guinness: “The longest five-a-side football marathon
is 33 hr 30 min by members of Youghal United AFC (Ireland) at
Ardrath Park, Youghal, Ireland from 5-7 June 2010.” A certificate
and other official documentation are now on their way to the club.
Many will remember the excitement and drama at Ardrath Park
this past June bank holiday weekend, when sixteen stout and hardy
souls, a few well past their physical prime (we won’t name names,
but they know who they are), bravely battled hunger, fatigue and
the elements to beat the world record formerly held by Club Next,
a youth organisation in Ballyhaunis, Co. Mayo.
When the dust finally settled at Ardrath Park that balmy Sunday
evening, Youghal United’s record breaking attempt was just begin-
ning. Over the next few weeks, the club started work on complet-
ing the strict record verification procedures required by Guinness,
which were nearly as big a challenge as breaking the record itself.
A package of video highlights, photos, witness reports, and a log-
book of player substitutions and rest breaks were turned over to
Guinness for scrutiny. Just one mistake in the club’s presentation
could cost them the record.
Thankfully, the record is now official, and the following sixteen
players can now truly call themselves Guinness World Record
holders: Martin Coen, Christophe Colin, Kevin Gallogley, Leon
Geary, Peter Geary, Barry Goggin, Pierce Hennessy, Stuart
Hickey, Anthony Kelly, David Kenneally, Mike Lyons, Patrick
Morrissey, David O’Keefe, Gavin O’Leary, Aidan Ryan, and
Diarmuid Schuel
While the players deserve much praise for their incredible
achievement, the event organizers and many supporters are also
worthy of recognition.
Emmett Perry, Jock Gallogley, Ken Dempsey, Jamie Lawton,
Sally O’Sullivan, Finbarr Walsh, Sammy Revins, Brian Wade, T
Kennedy, and Dick Sheehan of Youghal United all had a part to
play, as did many other volunteers from the club and the town. The
support of physiotherapist Jimmy Healy and his staff, the tireless
work of videographer Willie O’Mahony, and backing from main
sponsors T&M Fitzgerald Homes, Youghal Credit Union, Bertie’s
Bar and Farrell’s Summerfield Bar were also greatly appreciated.
Mark your calendars for next year’s June Bank Holiday weekend,
as Youghal United now try to figure out how to top their Guinness
World Record breaking success.

THEFTS OF BMW AIR BAGS ON
YOUGHAL'S CURRENT CRIME LIST
By Christy Parker
In one of the more unusual crime alerts, Youghal gardai are urging
drivers of Five Series BMWs to beware of thieves targeting air
bags form their vehicles. According to Garda Ronan Swann, has
been a number of such thefts in the area recently. "They are very
costly to replace once one goes off and presumably the thieves
have a ready market for them," says the garda. That said, drivers
of such vehicles are being asked to contact gardai if offered one
for sale. Garda Swann further advises drivers to park in a secure
area, make sure car alarms are enabled and that one's care keys are
stored in a safe location.
Schools
Gardai have also issued advice to parents and motorists relevant to
the new school year commencing. Garda Swann asks that children
be made aware of road safety rules and also that parents exercise
extra caution, "especially in the early morning rush hour." He rec-
ommends that parents walking children to school -or even the chil-
dren themselves- wear high visibility jackets, which can be easily
acquired and carried. Gardai are asking drivers to be aware of
school-going children, while parents who drive are urged to
respect parking laws, rather than holding up traffic. "That only
makes drivers mad and do stupid things," observed Grada Swann.
The garda says that even if it means parking 200 yards further dis-
tant, it is a wise option.
Driving
The recent spate of road traffic tragedies has impelled gardai to
issue a warning to drivers that speed kills. With young statistical-
ly more prone to being in a hurry behind the wheel, Garda Swann
reiterates what experienced drivers know very well: it can't be that
important to get to wherever you're going that you have to risk
your own life, the lives of passengers, other road users or pedes-
trians, rural and urban.
The garda also recommends that passengers decline to get into a
car if they have any concerns, for whatever reason, about the dri-
ver's competence or ability. "Furthermore if you observe someone
driving dangerously, contact us with as much information as pos-
sible. Noting the registration number is even better because then
we can easily catch up with them and in some cases initiate court
proceedings, which is what it takes to make some people learn,"
he explains.
Mandatory check points are ongoing in the east Cork region
according to Garda Swann and "unfortunately a lot of people are
surpassing the drink-driving limit." Recommending prevention
over detection, the garda advises "leaving the car keys behind
when going out for a drink. Having avoided the pitfalls of pot-
holes, speeding half-wits and other hazards whilst merrily
imbibed, gardai warn that the morning after the intake of the night
before provides another challenge. "People's metabolisms differ
but anyone can be over the legal alcohol limit for driving the fol-
lowing morning," agrees Garda Swann. "The advice is just imply
to be careful that it isn't you."
Shops Youghal businesses continue to be victims of thefts and
accompanying anti-social behaviour towards proprietors and con-
sumers, say gardai. Garda Swann says people should not hesitate
to contact gardai with a complaint of such victimisation. He also
reminded that a formal complaint is needed before gardai can pur-
sue the issue down the legal route and urged complainants to stand
up for theirs and the rights of others in such circumstances.
The garda meanwhile reminded proprietors that CCTV evidence is
always immensely beneficial and asked that they ensure their cam-
eras working properly and well placed. "As well as helping us to
identify suspects it can be used as court evidence," he said.,
Any opinions, advice or concerns regarding the above and other
issues can be aired to gardai at the community alert meetings,
which run for approximately ¾ hour monthly. The meetings occur
on the first Tuesday of each month at the Walter Raleigh hotel. The
next meeting is on September 7th at 7.45 pm.

 TIME TO SMELL THE
COFFEE FOR YOUGHAL
COMMUNITY HOSPITAL
By Christy Parker
Youghal Community Hospital & Hospice Service is hoping that,
despite the difficult times, individuals and organisations in the
area can help raise funds through an annual coffee morning event
on September 16th.
Ireland’s Biggest Coffee Morning, as the occasion is known, is a
national and cross-border fundraising event supported by
Bewley’s. The world-famous, award-winning Dublin coffee
house supplies all coffee morning organisers with freshly ground
packs fee of charge.
Ireland’s Biggest Coffee Morning asks people in workplaces,
homes and local organisations across Ireland collect €2 for each
cup of Bewley’s fresh ground coffee that is consumed. All money
that is raised locally stays locally and directly funds local hospice
care services. Now in its 17th year, the aim for 2010 is to raise
€2m through the sale of over one million cups of coffee north and
south of the border.
Quality of life Hospice or palliative care involves the total care
of patients and their families when care through a serious illness
switches from treatment aimed at cure to ensuring quality of life.
Over 30,000 people die annually in Ireland and over 6,000 people
avail of hospice services.
International studies show that patients using hospice services
consume at least 25% fewer medical resources than those who
access "usual care." This saving is linked to the fact that hospice
patients are largely cared for and die at home and thus use far less
acute hospital services. Hospice patients also live longer and in
greater comfort and dignity.
Hard times Founded in 1995, Youghal Community Hospital and
Hospice provides the highest possible quality end of life care to
patients. along with family support. However, the current econom-
ic climate renders this year’s Biggest Coffee Morning perhaps the
most challenging of all. "Our hospice too has been hit by cutbacks
and we are struggling to
provide the current level
of service, says matron
Anne O‘Dwyer. "Any
support at all is extreme-
ly welcome and much
needed, while we great-
ly appreciate that many
individuals and families
are facing worrying
times themselves. We
hope people can either
organise a coffee morn-
ing or support an event
that is already taking
place in their neighbour-
hood."

fee morning.

 MARK NOLAN RETIRES FROM YOUGHAL RNLI LIFEBOAT
Mark Nolan has retired from active service of the Youghal
RNLI Lifeboat crew having recently reached compulsory
retirement age and having served 13 years of voluntary serv-
ice. Mark first joined the Youghal Lifeboat in April 1997 and dur-
ing the years of Mark's service as a voluntary crew member the
Youghal Lifeboat was launched
203 times on service call-outs.
Mark has been a crew member
on 38 of those service call-outs,
where 48 people were rescued
and 5 lives were saved. His first
call out was on the 19th of
August 1998 when the Lifeboat
went to assist a broken down
fishing vessel with two people
on board. The vessel was towed
to safety. The following are a
select few of Mark's much pub-
licized service call-outs ;
Most recently at 6.45a.m.
approx. on Sat. the 29th of May 2010 the Youghal lifeboat was
launched and Mark was on the crew when a man had fallen over
board near Youghal Bridge. Mark and his fellow Lifeboat crew
members rescued this man and administered first aid in the
Lifeboat. The man was believed to be in the water for approx. 35
minutes. He was brought back to the Lifeboat station and trans-
ferred to a waiting ambulance.
In June 2003 a diver went missing in the vicinity of Ballycotton
Island. Youghal Lifeboat was launched to assist the Ballycotton
Lifeboat and the Coast Guard helicopter. The diver was located
and taken on board the Youghal Lifeboat and subsequently air lift-
ed by the Coast Guard helicopter and transferred to hospital.
In March 1999 two people were reported to be in difficulty on a
raft near the Ferry Point in Youghal Harbour. The Lifeboat was
launched with Mark as crew and they located the raft shortly after,
unoccupied with two sets of clothing on board. They proceeded to
search the area and subsequently located two young boys approx.
a half mile from the raft. The boys, two teenage brothers had
abandoned the raft in an attempt to swim ashore as the raft was
being swept out to sea in freezing windy conditions. They were
suffering from hypothermia when taken onboard the Lifeboat,
having been in the water for approx. 20 mins. They were taken
immediately to the Lifeboat station where first aid was adminis-
tered by Mark and other crew members They were then taken to
hospital by ambulance where they later made a full recovery.
Mark was also involved in the tragic jet-ski incident in Youghal in
August 2003.
Mark entered The Garda Siochana in 1980 where he was initially
stationed in Limerick for 15 years. In 1995 he transferred to
Fermoy and moved from Limerick with his wife and family to live
in his native town of Youghal. He subsequently transferred to
Midleton in 1997 where he is currently serving. It was always
Mark's ambition to someday become a member of the RNLI and
having returned to live in Youghal he successfully became a mem-
ber of the Youghal RNLI Lifeboat. In 1998 he went on an inten-
sive training course to the RNLI Training Centre in Cowes, the
Isle of Wight. Mark's interest in the sea began at an early age when
he was introduced to boating by his father Kieran. Mark is married
to Caroline (Bulman) and they have three children Gary, Sarah and
Jack. In Mark's childhood, long before he met Caroline he spent
many a day boating, either angling or sailing with his father and
his father's good friend, the late Buddy Bulman (Caroline's father).
Mark later became a member of the former Youghal Sea Angling
Club and also during his Garda service in Limerick he never lost
touch with the sea as he was a member of the Limerick and Clare
Garda Angling Club. Mark's 11 year old son Jack is showing the
same interest in the sea and has reached level 3 qualifications in
sailing with Aquatrek, the local ISA training centre. Jack hopes to
follow his father's footsteps as Lifeboat crew, indeed as he attends
as many exercise and service call-outs as possible with Mark,
watching enviously as his father goes to sea.
Mark expressed his sadness of having to retire from the crew of
Youghal Lifeboat, it being RNLI policy, having reached that age of
retirement, but he is looking forward to remaining on as a member,
assisting as shore crew in the launching and recovering of the
Lifeboat.
Mark said that he is both honoured and privileged to have served
as a member of the Youghal RNLI Lifeboat, where he has made
many friends and was part of a committed and professional team
of fellow lifeboat crew who are involved in the brave acts of sav-
ing lives. He went on to say that he is also honoured to have been
associated with such an organisation as the RNLI and he expressed
his gratitude to all his colleagues in the Youghal RNLI.
Congratulations to Mark for his service with the Youghal RNLI
Lifeboat. All the crew and everyone at the lifeboat station wish
him well and are pleased that Mark has decided to remain on as
shore crew.

Cycling for the 'Emer Casey

Foundation'
Team Youghal gear up for 1,350 mile endurance race
By Derek Kiely
THE RACE AROUND IRELAND is quite simply the toughest
cycling endurance test in Europe covering a massive distance of
1,350 miles travelling through all four Irish Provinces with many
steep climbs and sharp descents along the way.
What makes this such a fantastic challenge is the constant flow of
the race which runs 24 hours a day from start to finish, with little
or no let up and that overwhelming desire not only to complete the
race, but to win it!
The race is part of the Ultra Marathon Cycling Association
(UMCA) World Cup Series and the race is organised by the Navan
Road Club and is sanctioned by Cycling Ireland.
Unlike other cycling races such as the RÁS or the Tour de France,
the course is in no way roped off, there are no marshals control-

Organising or working on an event such as the 'Race Around
Ireland' takes massive work hours and 'Race Around Ireland' race
director Alan Heary and his team deserve tremendous praise for
their efforts.
Alan Heary said "Team Youghal' are a very important part of the
'Race Around Ireland' event, because they bring a very profession-
al team and back up crew to the race, with everything in terms of
planning and structure as well as pure enthusiasm and effort, plus
the age range in the team is so varied it shows that there is no age
barrier for 'Team Youghal' because of their superb preparation. I
think the spirit of the event is defined by 'Team Youghal' in their
approach to everyone involved in the event. There is nobody they
wouldn't help or give the best advice to, there is always an excel-
lent genuine attitude, I believe 'Team Youghal' embodies every- Time for reflection! Picture: John Hennessy

thing that is good about the 'Race Around Ireland' and we are
delighted to see them back to defend their title".
Ger Flanagan added "The general feeling of support from all over
the town and surrounding areas is brilliant and now we also have
the Evening Echo on board as Media Event Sponsor, plus our
associate sponsors O'Neill's Oil, Youghal News, Yawl Bay
Seafood, Mario's Motor Factors, Coopers Kitchens, Avonmore
House, Murphy Insurances and Touch of Class is deeply appreci-
ated. The local media coverage and coverage from The Youghal
News and Community Radio Youghal is great, we really appreci-
ate everyone who in some shape or form has got involved in sup-
porting the team".
'Team Youghal' have also got tremendous support from hotels on
their journey. The Carlton Redcastle Hotel, Inishowen, Co
Donegal, the Carlton Atlantic Coast Hotel in Westport County
Mayo, the Clarion Hotel Sligo, the Maldron Hotel in Galway
along with the Quality Hotel in Killarney have all come on board
to support the team. We also have a time station in Youghal at the
Walter Raleigh Hotel.
The race route through Cork is incredible, entering the County in
Glengarriff, heading on to Bantry, Goleen, Mizen Head, Skull,
Ballydehob, Skibbereen, Leap, Ross Carbery, Clonakilty,
Timoleague, Ballinspittle, Kinsale, Ballincollig, Kerry Pike,
Blarney, Cork City (Including St Patrick's Hill) Glanmire,
Carrigtwohill, Midleton, Castlemartyr, Killeagh and on to
Youghal.
When you even think about even just driving the Cork route, it
would be fair to say that the distance is a long enough drive in a
car, so it puts into perspective the challenge this journey in Cork
brings to the team on a bicycle and when you add in the rest of the
coastal areas on the Island of Ireland it gives you a small idea of
what is involved in this staggering endurance test.

An POST - SEAN KELLY Tour Of Waterford - Sunday 29th

August 2010
Two large groups from Youghal C.C. headed to Dungarvan last
weekend for Irelands biggest Sportive of the year and this clubs
main objective for the year. Long and hard training spins were put
in over the last few weeks by all in the club with the exception of
those who were fixing engines ( Id saw he was fixing an engine to
his bike ). 20 club men & women lined up for the 160km Comeragh
Challenge within a peleton of 2000 people with a further 12 club
men and women lining up for the 90km Kelly Coast within a pele-
ton of 1500 people. A further 1500 people participated in the
remaining 50km and 10km routes. Wow, that's a total of 5000
cyclists. The biggest ever in Ireland.
The Kelly Comeragh Challenge is the tough, tough part of the tour Youghal Cycling Club members pictured in their new Cycling Kit at the recent

can breathe a sigh of relief. Though it is still over 13km back to
Dungarvan, it is almost completely downhill. 13km which should
be devoted to enjoying the sense of achievement that can only come
from surviving the Kelly Comeragh. A great day was had by all who
participated and we are already looking forward to next year. Except

game Wednesday 11th August in St. Vincent;s ground. We were
short a number of the starting team because of players involve-
ment with junior hurling and U21 teams who are playing champi-
onship over the next few days. St Vincent's have been in a number
of county finals over the last few years so this was a great chal-
lenge game to get. Even with a weakened team we gave them a
good game. Some great displays by out goal keeper/backs and

(Sponsored by Youghal Credit Union).
Results and Upcoming Fixtures.
The following are the results and up coming fixtures of Youghal
Athletic club: First up a few of our lads had a little weekend away
and they went to the Streets of Galway road race on the 25th of
July. There were over 2000 runners in this race. And the times
of three of these athletes were, Noel Curtin 28.54; Mossie Cahill
29.47; Sylvie O'Mahony 34.18. I thought this was a 5 mile road
race and was going to give these lads PB's but found out later it
was an 8k road race just short of 5 miles. Was reliably informed
by the other runners not to give it to them.
On the 13th of August you had the 5 mile road race in Ardmore
first home was Martin O'Keeffe in a time of 29.29; and Martin
O'Brien in 29.41, too very good times indeed. Then we had
Darren Chambers 33.50; Mary O'Keeffe 34.22; George Bulman
34.30 and Gordon Nicholson 37.22. Next we had the last 5-mile
race in the Ballycotton Summer series. Well done to Niamh Walsh
who finished 2nd over all in the series in 2.04. 41; just behind
Ronda Lynch in a time of 2.02.20. Also well done to George
Bulman and William O'Mahony who completed the series.
Here are the up coming fixtures:- Wednesday the 1st of
September at 7.30 under BHAA rules, you have the Togher 5k
road race and on Saturday the 4th you have the Dingle half
Marathon, full marathon and Ultra Marathon. On Thursday the
9th September you have a 5k road race in Cloyne in aid of Cystic
Fibrosis. Sunday the 12th of September you have the Cork half
Marathon in Blarney. On October 3rd you have the Cork to Cobh
road race starting at 9.30. All good road races for those of you
doing the Dublin City Marathon. Also another Marathon is com-
ing in Clonakilty on the 11th of December this also includes a 10k
and a half marathon but unfortunately it clashes a well established
half marathon in Waterford on the same day.
That's all for now just a well done to Mike Rice of Athenry AC
who won the Connemara hundred mile road race on August the
14th in a new Irish record (I think) in 14 hours and 27 minutes.
This is like running 4 marathons back to back with each one
roughly 3.45, the mind boggles!

CLAYCASTLE PITCH & PUTT
Juvenile Matchplay 2010
The 2010 Juvenile Matchplay came to an end recently with the
most experienced juvenile David Poynton becoming the victor.
Throughout the whole competition there were many exciting
matches. The match between Una Brosnan and Adam Bulman
went to sudden death with a dramatic ending where Una lipped out
giving Adam the win and a place in the next round of the compe-
tition.
Also the game between brothers David O Brien and Ian O Brien
went to four holes of sudden death and was a great battle to watch.
Ian eventually came out on top after the fourth play off hole.
Congratulations all the players who took part in the matchplay and
well done to David Poynton once again, not forgetting his oppo-
nent in the final Erin. Well Done!.
Well done to Paudie O' Sullivan who finished runner-up at the
Larkspur park scratch cup last weekend. A three shot swing and a
visit to the water on th very last hole cost Paudie a well deserved
victory.

MOLLY KEANE’S HOUSE
AN INSPIRATIONAL
HAVEN FOR WRITERS
A full house of residents and day attendees were captivated by the
atmosphere and ambience of Molly Keane's house during last
week's Inaugural Writers Retreat Week. The week was facilitated
by local Author and Movement Artist, Lani O'Hanlon, and attend-
ed by Molly Keane's daughter, Virginia Brownlow. The group
included a mixture of experienced writers, hobby writers and com-
plete beginners and the reaction of all was amazing as Lani
seemed to touch a nerve with all of them, and despite such a cross
section of experience, each of the participants seemed to be
inspired by the surroundings of Molly Keane's hideaway.
When Irish people hear the word 'retreat' it has all sorts of reli-
gious connotations. This was an inspiring week. We seemed to be
able to open ourselves to the creative world of Molly Keane just
by being in her house and some of the work that emerged was mar-
vellous. 'I made friends there who I hope will be with me for life
and the encouragement I received from them has given me the
confidence to send off some work for competition' said Cathy, one
of the participants.
The event has certainly created a new niche for Ardmore as I'm
sure writers and groups of writers will queue up for the opportuni-
ty to rent this amazing house and garden, secluded in the hill of
Ardmore, overlooking Ardmore Bay and The Round Tower. 'The
house is oozing with personality' said another one of the partici-
pants, Esther and 'Molly's spirit permeates through the house'. 'It
was as if the spirit of the best selling author was smiling, encour-
aging and pushing our creativity from the heavens' said another.
The setting for the inaugural Writer's Retreat' was magical and a
really special welcoming evening meal for the sixteen strangers
set a wonderful tone for what was to follow. Aspiring writers were
prompted, encouraged and helped to explore their inner and outer
experiences and emotions and we just wrote. If we so wished they
could share our work but never one word of criticism was uttered
during the week. It was green lights all the way. In a summary
piece one lady wrote 'a gorgeous little blond boy in my class
would only use two words to describe the week - top notch'. 'Lani
and Virginia conspired together to form a perfect writers week in
Molly's house. A week of laughter, and sharing, people bonding,
writing, inspiring one another as notebooks filled with words cre-
ating sentences, building to stories and poems', wrote another.
The Saturday workshop and reading by guest author and contem-
porary poet, Louis de Paor on was really special and he identified
the great and very individual strengths, directions and interests of
each of the participants. That Saturday session is embedded in the
memories of all the participants. Speaking with Virginia
Brownlow, after the course, she was delighted to host the week
and hopes that many more writers and aspiring writers will come
to use the house. It is so fitting to have a writers retreat in historic
Ardmore, which as well as being home to Molly Keane also
inspired such world renowned authors as Nora Roberts, Fergal
Keane, Declan Hassett, Claude and Patricia Coburn, Siobhan
Lincoln and Canon O'Connor and the afore-mentioned Lani
O'Hanlon and Louis de Paor.

Cork musicians, singers
and dancers bring home
All-Ireland Medals
While the footballers of the county are still in line for an appear-
ance at Croke Park in their bid to bring Sam back to Leeside,
Cork's musicians, singers and dancers achieved admirable success
at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in Cavan last weekend.
Representing branches from around the county, these musicians
beat not only other musicians from Ireland but from around the
world.
Ballinacurra's Shane Keating was to the fore. As well as his sec-
ond place in the U18 uilleann pipes competition, he won the U18
duet along with Aisling Vaughan from Aherla. The two combined
with Aisling's sister Marguerite to win the senior trio, a fantastic
achievement made more special by the fact that two of the group
are still under eighteen. More celebrations for the Keating family
came when Shane's cousin Daithí Keating from Rockchapel was
second in the senior melodeon competition.
Another All-Ireland Champion, Joanne Quirke from the Douglas
Branch, won the senior Tin Whistle and was second in the slow
airs competition. Also from the Douglas branch, Mairéad Hickey
won the U15 fiddle title to add to the many awards she has already
achieved. Another Cork fiddle player, Róisín Ní Dhonnchú from
the Carrigdhoun branch was second in the fiddle slow airs compe-
tition U15, as was Catherine Carey from Kinsale in the senior
competition.
More All-Ireland titles were awarded to Cathal Mac Cárthaigh
from the Skibereen branch is the U15 Mouth Organ champion
while fellow branch member John Harrington was third in the
U18 competition. Another Skibereen branch member, Naoimí de
Búrca, won the U15 whistling title.
Alan Finn from Buttevant teamed up with Clare concertina play-
er Rory MacMahon to win the Senior Duet Competition. Alan
also teamed up with Aoibheann Murphy from the Carrigdhoun
branch and Listowel banjo player Aisling Neville to come third in
the Senior Trio. Liam and Olive Ní Mhathúna joined Bréanainn Ó
Mathúna to come third in the U15 Trio.
Other medallists in solo competitions in Cavan include Saoirse Ní
Lonargáin from the Fermoy branch was second in the U12 piano
competition while Skibereen's Hannah Ní Choileáin was second
in the U15 competition. Fiachra Ó Corragáin from Kinsale was
third in the Senior Harp competition and Mairéad Ní Chiaraigh
from Bantry was third in the U18 flute slow airs competition. Lara
Ní Dhálaigh was second in the Comhrá Gaeilge competition U18.
There was also success for Cork singers at the Fleadh. Kinsale
singer Éanna Ó Corragáin won the U18 competition for men's
singing in Irish while Cúl Aodha singer Diarmuid Ó Meachair
won the U15 title. Éanna's brother Oisín was third in the senior
competition. Cork scored a one-two in the competition for newly
composed songs in Irish as Eilís Ní Shuilleabháin took the title
from Muiris Mac Giolla Choda who himself took the title for a
newly composed ballad in English.
A number of dance teams also achieved success. Craobh Chronáin
won the U18 mixed set competition and was second in the mixed
set dancing competition U12. The branch also won the Céilí
Dancing for 4-hand dances U12, were second in the Ladies sets
U12 and third in the 8-hand Céilí Dancing U12. The Millstreet
team were second in the U15 mixed set competition while the
team from Áth a'Chaoir were 3rd in both the senior 8-hand and 4-
hand competition Céílí Dancing competitions.
All of these musicians, singers and dancers demonstrate the cul-
tural vibrancy that exists in Cork. A great deal of gratitude goes to
the teachers in the many branches around the county, many of
whom will be starting up classes again in the coming week. For

 Youghal's Iron Men raise thousands of Euros for
The Emer Casey Foundation
By Derek Kiely
Conor Coleman and Thomas Curran recently visited Farrell's
Summerfield Bar to present €3,000 to the Emer Casey
Foundation earned from sponsorship cards that supported the
two Youghal men's completion of the gruelling 'Iron Man
France' challenge in Nice in the South of France.

Juliette and Brendan Casey of the Emer Casey Foundation, making a presentation
to Thomas Curran and Conor Coleman to mark their magnificient achievement in
the Nice Ironman Triathlon. Also included are members of the Casey, Curran and
Coleman families and friends. Picture:John Hennessy

The two lads completed a unbelievable 3.8k swim, followed by a
180k cycle through the French Alps and incredibly then ran a full
marathon. The event was held last June and both Conor and
Thomas completed the course in 12 hours and 50 minutes.
The journey started at Cork Airport on the 24th of June where both
bicycles were crated up for the flight to France and with the arrival
three days ahead of the event it gave both Conor and Thomas a
chance to get familiar with their surroundings.
Conor told Youghal News "We went to the start area on the day
before the event and handed in our bicycles and our other gear and
registered for the race. The organisation for this event was really
up through the French Alps which was tough with three steep
accents, but we stayed together".
Following the cycle which took six and a half hours to complete,
both Conor and Thomas returned to the transition area to ditch the
bikes and set off on a full marathon which was run on a flat course
on the 'Promenade d'Anglais' which ran out to Nice Airport and
back into the city and had to be completed four times.
"The elation of crossing the finish line 12 hours and 50 minutes
later was impossible to find, we just didn't have anything left in
our bodies at that stage, we had given everything that we had, but
I think now we are starting to realise what we achieved" said
Connor.
Thomas had the final word with "Thanks to all our families and
friends who supported us all the way with selling sponsorship
cards and everything else that they did, and our thanks for the
lovely presentation we received at Farrell's the other night, we
weren't expecting that, thanks to everyone".

fantastic and you could see that the whole City was completely
involved in the event, there was a great buzz around the place".
The evening before an event of this size is always a nervous time
for e very competitor and pre-Iron Man nerves were setting in a
bit.
Thomas told Youghal News "You could see people walking
around the night before the event, I suppose thinking about what
was ahead and preparing themselves for it, but at 5am on the 27th
we were up and ready to go and we arrived at the start on the beach
along with 2,798 other Iron Man France competitors".
The start of the race at 6.30 was a sight to behold and already the
temperature was in the 20's. The first challenge was the 3.8
Kilometre swim.
"The swimming course was like a figure of eight, with the com-
petitors coming out of the water after 2.5k, running through a sec-
tion of the crowd for 20 meters or so and then back into the water
to complete the swim and then into the transition area to get on our
bikes" said Conor.
Thomas said "The organisation to look after 2,800 competitors
was second to none with a number system in place and racks ready
with everyone's cycling gear and bikes ready. Conor and I met up
together in the transition area after the swim and cycled together

GHANA CREDIT UNION
DELEGATION VISIT
Youghal Credit Union hosted a visit of seven Ghanaian credit
union personnel who were on a study trip to Ireland. The visitors
work with CUA which is the trade organisation of all credit unions
in Ghana. Most of their week was spent in Dublin in the headquar-
ters of the Irish League of Credit Unions studying various aspects
of Irish credit unions.
As part of the study trip the group visited a number of credit
unions in Dublin and Cork. Youghal Credit Union was chosen as
a venue following the manager's, Barry Treacy, coaching trip to
Ghana in January to assist credit unions there. Barry is due to
return again in 2011 to offer further assistance.
The group were welcomed by the local credit union Chairman,
John Colbert, and a number of other directors. Following a tour of
the building an informal meeting was held where various ques-
tions were asked in relation to the operations of Youghal Credit
Union. The group thanked the credit union for their assistance and
expect to implement their new ideas on their return to Ghana. As
a token of their generosity
Stephen Kwasi Agyemang Asiamah , the head accountant of CUA,
presented the Chairman with a sash in the Ghanaian national
colours.The group then returned to Dublin where they will visit
Aras an Uachtarain prior to leaving Ireland on Sunday.

ILGU Southern District
Inter Club Matchplay
Finals held in Youghal
with Youghal Success
The finals of the ILGU Southern District Inter Club Matchplay
were held in Youghal on Friday and Saturday last. Friday after-
noon we saw Killarney beat East Cork in the Senior Foursomes.
Limerick beat Lismore in the Junior Foursomes. On Saturday we
were graced with wonderful sunny weather and the course was in
excellent condition, East Cork Junior team beat Killarney. Fota
Intermediate team beat Kanturk, Youghal Minor team beat East
Clare and Bandon Challenge team beat East Cork.
In the Minor Cup the match of Youghal V East Clare proved to be
a mighty tussle with 2 matches won apiece early on to leave the
remaining match number 5 to battle on with the lead changing
hands numerous times. Youghal player Amanda O'Neill Coyne
went up the 18th 1 up on her opponent Trish Browne only to lose
the hole and off to the 19th they had to go. With nerves of steel the
Youghal player in front of a tremendous crowd of home club sup-
porters pulled off a brilliant chip and the East Clare player made a
great effort at par only to have it just slide by allowing victory to
go to Youghal.
This was the first time since 1998 that this pretigeous event was
held at Youghal Golf Club. The Club was looking fantastic and
this was down to no small effort by the club’s staff and all the vol-
untary work completed by the clubs members over the previous
few weeks. The Ladies wish to extend a special thank you to the
Club Captain and his team for their efforts and traffic management
provided to our visitors. All the facilities of the club were made
available to our guests and visiting golfers.
The feedback that was received from our visitors and guests was
excellent and it was commented on several occasions, that the club
offered a wonderful welcome and ambience throughout the whole
weekend. We’d like to thank Margaret Power, Chairman of the
ILGU Southern District and a member of Youghal Golf Club for
all her support and all the support offered by the members of the
ILGU. We would also like to thank Mr Tommy Donnelly, Mrs
Marion Patteton and Mrs Phil Byrnes who were the Rules
Officials over the weekend.
A special thank you to all the ladies who offered their support and
decorated the clubhouse with spectacular flower arrangements,
without you the weekend would not have been such a great suc-
cess. After all our visitors had left, the ladies helped the winning
Minor Team celebrate their fantastic win well into the night with a
chorus of song and laughter.
The Minor Team now goes forward to the All Ireland Semi-Finals
in Donabate on the 24th of September and we wish all the team
every success. We hope that the team will be well supported by all
members and we hope that the Minor team will be bringing back
the All Ireland Pennant to Youghal Golf Club

 MOTORING WITH GER LEAHY
Love it or hate it the
Juke is coming
Nissan is going well selling quirky non main stream cars in the
european market its sold a massive 600,000 units of the Qashqai
in around 3 years and now following on that kind of success and
that kind of half car half SUV it plans to sell a large amount of the
new Juke crossover.

Nissan is continuing its strategy of targeting European buyers who

prefer non-mainstream cars with its new Juke crossover.The Juke
appeals to a growing group of buyers who like the high-seat con-
cept of a SUV but want something more original.Nissan tell us its
a kind of Nissan GTR and 370Z silhouettes look about it howev-
er I must have missed that it looks like a small SUV.!!!!!!!!In
Europe, the Juke is offered with two 1.6-liter gasoline engines
with 117-hp and 190-hp, emitting 138 and 159g/km of CO2
respectively, and a 110-hp, 1.5 liter diesel with CO2 emissions of
134 g/km.

Nissan hopes that 80 percent of Juke buyers will be new to the

brand, with three quarters of customers younger than 30 finding it
quirky and different and most likely will go down a storm.

Opel/Vauxhall is introducing
a 160,000 km (100,000 miles)
warranty on all its new cars
to help boost declining sales.
The General Motors unit calls the offer a "lifetime warranty" and
says it will include the powertrain, steering system, brake system
and electrical equipment throughout the life of a vehicle until it
reaches 160,000 km.Opel/Vauxhall CEO Nick Reilly said the war-
ranty would be standard on all new models and was possible
because of the reliability of the brand's vehicles.

"Expensive repairs are a thing of the past," Reilly said in a state-

ment. "We hope this initiative will convince people to consider
purchasing an Opel again."
Opel/Vauxhall will cover all material costs up to 50,000 km, the
carmaker said. From 50,000 km to 100,000 km the amount paid
by Opel declines as the mileage on the car increases. From
100,000 km to 160,000 km, Opel will pay 40 percent of the costs,
meaning the owner would have to shoulder the remaining 60 per-
cent.
