HIGH SPIRITS
CELEBRATES 10 YEARS!!
High Spirits was founded in 1998 and is the longest running musi-
cal and drama club for children in Youghal and the surrounding
areas. The children come to weekly classes throughout the school
year - September to June - and perform in their annual show and
other events that may take place during the term. The classes com-
pile of acting, dancing and singing through performance and
games. Children’s own talents are encouraged and nurtured and
confidence grows through performing in front of classmates and
then progresses to performing in the annual show held in the
Youghal Community Centre with an audience capacity of over
200. The children find that performing in the show is exhilarating
and is the highlight of the year for them. Every child in High
Spirits is given the chance to perform on stage, though it must be
Class One pictured during class time
stressed that if a child is shy and would not prefer to, no pressure
is put on them to do so. Though the leaders generally find that as
show time draws closer, the excitement takes over and the nerves
are forgotten and they choose to perform and are delighted when
they do. Their previous productions include: Christmas
Extravaganza, A Century to Remember, Snow White, That’s
Entertainment 2002, Sleeping Beauty, Star Struck, Thursday’s
Child, Babes in the Woods and Once upon a Christmas. High
Spirits also takes pride in winning the best youth group in the St
Patricks day Parade for 8 out of the last 10 years. For the teenage
group this year they are getting a chance to explore their creative
side by writing and directing their own mini productions during
class time which they are aiming to perform before the end of this
term.
If your child is interested in joining please call to the Youghal Leaders Amanda Sylvester, Sinead Lee and Eleanor O Brien

HEROS WELCOME AS YOUGHAL PUTS
EDDIE O SULLIVAN IN THE PICTURE
By Christy Parker
Former Ireland rugby coach
Eddie O’Sullivan was left in no
doubt that his status as local hero
is perpetual when he attended
the opening of a photographic
exhibition in his honour last
week. The boy from Dominic
Collins Place who, to borrow
(for a change) a phrase from
Charlie Haughey, did his country Eddie and Ger Flanagan from Youghal
some service, received a warm News who sponsored the photographic
exhibition
and sincere welcome home from
family, friends, supporters and local dignitaries at the Mall Arts
Centre.
Sponsored by Youghal News, ’Eddie O’Sullivan -Honoured
Through the Lens’ traces the origins, highs and lows of the twice
Triple Crown winning coach. Dozens of photos, ranging from
simple reminders of his formative years with Youghal rugby club,
to contemporary professional images taken amongst the stars and
stadia of modern rugby chronicle his rise and fall. The showcase
originally formed part of the recent European Destination of
Excellence presentation in which Youghal narrowly just fell short.
While the glory-filled days of Triple Crown triumphs and the
dejection of World Cup implosion are laid bare, it is the older,
lesser-seen images that invoke the true wonder. These amateur
photographs, many on loan from Youghal rugby stalwart Peter
Hamill, feature an Eddie O’Sullivan from 10 years of age
onwards, through later days on the wing with Youghal and
Munster. The graph rises inexorably to his first training session
with the Irish squad in Limerick in 2002 and there is prayer on the
wing too, when the national coach meets the late Pope John Paul
II.
Eddie with Exhibition organisers Catherine Desmond, Lucy Heaphy, Lorraine
Hogan, Aileen Ahern, Siobhan Sheehan and Irene Hennessy
Between times, sport becomes sociable with unfamiliar footage of
Eddie in the glamourous company of Youghal ladies rugby team,
not to mention award-winning camogie players at a National
Sports Awards ceremony in recent years!
In a local brogue unaffected by years of residence in Galway, the
Eddie with old friend Peter Hamill Eddie with Ben Colin and Aaron Clohessy
Youghal News.....May 15th 2008
dark-suited guest accepted the accolade with exemplary grace and
gratitude. He expressed his surprise that an exhibition based on
his career would even have arisen and, having perused it, drop-
kicked his verdict in humourous tone: "I think I started at the
wrong end," he observed, "and as I walked round the room I got
younger and younger!"
In that context, for once Eddie found that last was best. "There are
people in those photos that I can and never will forget. Some of
them are friends I lost touch with over the years. Others, sadly, are
no longer with us. It is very moving to be reminded of them all in
this way."
Eddie and rugby fan Lauren Heaphy Eddie and Oona Colin
Articulate, friendly and appreciative, Eddie O’Sullivan relaxes a
room and there was a strong sense of mutual appreciation long
before he gave interviews and posed with children, families and
adults who unashamedly showed kids how to idolise! Earlier, the
former coach had been keen to stress his affection for his home
town, saying he is "constantly reminding people that this is where
I come from, not Cork."
Recently, he said, he had felt compelled to put Eamon Dunphy to
rights on the matter. "Youghal has always been very good to me
and always will be home." He proceeded, "It is assumed that to
get to a high level in Irish rugby, one must have come from one of
the major rugby playing colleges, but I always refer to my origins
at under-10 level in Youghal."
That he was one of the very last to leave the scene, aptly reflect-
ed the man’s interest and consideration. He left bearing a bottle of
Jameson 12 year-old vintage, presented by Mayor Dave Savage.
It was a most appropriate gift given that Youghal Heritage com-
mittee spokeswoman Catherine Desmond had introduced Eddie as
"now part of Youghal’s heritage." For the many who will drink to
that, there are photos to prove it too.

clocked a quick goal followed by a point and the rest is history.

22 May 2008, 7pm - Central Park, NYC
The Inaugural Emer Casey Central Park Fun Run will take place
in Central Park, NYC on 22 May 2008 at 7pm over a short 5KM
route. This event is being organised in aid of The Emer Casey
Foundation which was set up in memory of an amazing friend and
colleague Emer Casey who passed away in 2006 at the age of 28
after a short but brave battle with cancer. Emer, from Youghal in
Co.Cork, lived a rich and full life and touched so many people
with her kindness and vibrant spirit.
The Emer Casey Foundation was established in her memory by
her family and friends and the inaugural run in her hometown last
year drew over 800 participants. The foundation supports research

M. Lyons into ovarine and uterine cancer to develop early detection tests and
to provide support services for families and patients who suffer
from these cancers. The 2nd run will take place, again in Youghal,
on 25 May this year supported by Matheson Ormsby Prentice
Solicitors, the firm where Emer worked until her sickness inter-
jected. Attached is a press clipping of the launch of the run in

Paving Contractor Youghal this year which provides some more details on the chari-
ty. In conjunction with the Irish run this smaller event will take
place in Central Park organised by friends of Emer who are living
in New York and we hope you can support this event.
A minimum donation of $50 per entry is suggested although all
amounts big and small will be gratefully received and all amounts
will go directly to the charity. Donations can be given on the day

YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL MAY MEETING
By Michael Twomey
Report of the Town Clerk on Matters Arising from the Monthly
Meeting of Youghal Town Council held on 14th April 2008
HOUSING & BUILDING:
1. The Tender Advertisement for the refurbishment of the remain-
ing houses in Dermot Hurley Estate was placed on E Tenders.ie
and the Examiner Newspaper on 2/05/2008, with a closing of
26/05/2008 for respondents.
2. Preparatory works are underway in relation to compiling the
necessary data for refurbishment works on the second half of the
houses in Blackwater Heights. Each remaining individual tenant
will be completed in relation to same within the next six weeks.
ROADS AND CAR PARKS:
1. Heritage Regeneration Works are due to commence this week
on Church Street and Emmett Place to the entrance to the College
Gardens. The contract for the same has been awarded to John
McMahon Underground Services Ltd. and is due to take approxi-
mately six months.
2. Works on DeValera Street Car Park are due to commence
before the end of this month. A contract has been offered to Ken
Hogan Groundworks and will take approximately three months in
total. Traffic Restrictions will apply on Church Street, Emmett
Place, Ashe Street and DeValera Street during both contracts.
WATER AND SEWERS:
1. The reservoirs are currently at full storage capacity with an
average daily demand of 590,000 gallons per day.
2.I am unaware of any problems with the Waste water Drainage
System and all pumps stations seem to be working satisfactorily
currently.
YOUGHAL MAIN DRAINAGE REPORT:
The Youghal main Drainage Scheme will cater for the Wastewater
from Youghal Town and its environs in County Cork. A
Preliminary Report prepared in 2002, and supporting
Supplementary Reports (2005/2006) were prepared relating to the
wastewater collection, treatment and disposal systems. The
Preliminary Report assessed the flows and loads and was accom-
panied by the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement
for the preferred wastewater treatment plant site. An Bord
Pleanala certified the E.I.S., with minor modifications, in
December 2001.
The current population of the town is estimated to be 7,600 per-
sons, but is expected to rise significantly to a population equiva-
lent of over 20,000 p.e. by 2025. Consultants acting on behalf of
Youghal Town Council have recently prepared a preliminary
Report and Associated Supplementary Reports that recommend
alterations and new works to the drainage system and a new
wastewater treatment plant. An Bord Pleanala approved an
Environmental Impact Statement in December 2001.
A basic requirement of the project will be achievement of compli-
ance with the Irish Government Regulations, S.I. 254 of 2001,
implementing the European Union Urban Wastewater Directive
(91/271/EEC). Similarly, the project must comply with other rel-
evant Directives including the EU Shellfish Water Regulations
and the Bathing Water Regulations.
Existing System
The sewer network serving Youghal largely comprises combined
sewer system, with some of the newer housing estates construct-
ed with separate foul and surface water systems. Wastewater form
the town is currently discharged with Preliminary Treatment
(comminution) to the Blackwater Estuary and the sea viam three
main outfalls, and several overflows. The Blackwater Estuary was
designated as "sensitive" in 2001 under the Urban Waste Water
Treatment Regulations, and is an area used for bathing and recre-
ational activity.
Upgrade to Collection System:
An upgrade and extension of the existing collection system is pro-
posed, along with the transfer of all foul/combined wastewater to
a new wastewater treatment works at a site immediately north of
town.
The existing sewer system largely comprises combined sewer sys-
Youghal News.....May 15th 2008
tems with some of the newer housing estates constructed with sep-
arate foul and surface water systems. In general, runoff from roofs
and roads is discharged to the combined system, especially
towards the historic centre of town.
The recommended upgrading to the existing system is sum-
marised below. These upgrades are necessary to transfer flows to
the new WWTW; resolve existing hydraulic and structural prob-
lems (including flooding), and to meet current guidelines for the
operation of combined storm overflows.
Upsize the existing 225mm rising main from Strand pumping
station;
Construct new pumping stations at Green Park and Greencloyne;
Upgrade the existing pumping stations at Strand, Dunnes Park
and Foxhole;
Provide a gravity and pumped overflow arrangement at Dunnes
Park pumping station with additional storage;
Upsize the existing Dunnes Park outfall to 1,200mm diameter;
Upgrade the mechanical, electrical and control equipment in te
existing Strand pumping station and Dunnes Park pumping sta-
tion;
Provide new rising main from Green Park to Dunnes Park pump-
ing station;
Provide new 400mm rising main from Dunnes Park pumping
station to the new WWTW;
Provide surface water separation at Lower Cork Hill, Raheen
Road, Windmill Hill and Knockaverry Strand.
New Wastewater Treatment Plant:
The project requires the provision of a modern wastewater treat-
ment facility at a selected site at Mudlands, Youghal, County
Cork, which is within the Town Council boundary. The facility
will incorporate secondary treatment and nutrient reduction, and a
discharge to the deep trench in the estuary near Ferry Point.
The preliminary design has been based upon the load assessment
undertaken for the Preliminary Report and associated
Supplementary Reports. A first phase of 16,000 p.e. (in two
streams of 8,000 p.e. each) is recommended, with provision for
later addition of a third stream. The EIS has been obtained on the
basis of the preliminary design.
Programme:
The indicative programme is set out below. Please note all dates
are provisional and include for approvals from the DEHLG over
which we do not have control.
Stage Duration Start Finish
Detailed Design/Contract Documents 12 months May 08 May 09
Tendering/ Contract Award 9 months June 08 Feb 2010
Construction 18 months March 2010 Aug 2011
BLUE FLAG BEACHES:
The E.P.A’s Quality of Bathing Water Report 2007 would suggest
that Youghal is to lose EU Blue Flag status for one of its beaches.
Youghal had previously been in the unique position of having two
blue flag beaches. But the loss is expected to be short-term and
there are hopes that Youghal will have an unprecedented 3 blue
flag beaches by this time next year.
The loss is due to excessive rainfall during a particular sampling
period in July 2007.
The E.P.A.’s "Quality of Bathing Report" cited Youghal strand,
one of Ireland’s finest beaches, as failing to meet required stan-
dards. Of the 10 samples taken from the front strand in Youghal
2007, just one failed to meet the required standard, this occurred
on the 17th July 2007. Reacting immediately, the local area office
erected notices on the beach for six days last year. A follow-up
sample showed that the water quality had once again returned to
blue-flag status. Investigation at the time did not uncover any
abnormalities to the sewerage pump station or any overflow relat-
ed problems. However rainfall during this period was very high
with Met Eireann data showing an increase of 930% in rainfall
compared to the same period in 2006. This rainfall would have
increased the flow draining fields and into streams and rivers that
feed into Youghal Bay.
Youghal News.....May 15th 2008
YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL MAY MEETING
Youghal continues to retain its other blue flag at Claycastle Beach.
Youghal is also well on it’s way to gaining another blue flag at
Redbarn Beach close to the Quality Hotel. This beach is renowned
for its high water quality standards, once car-parking facilities are
implemented.
Youghal is well known for the quality of its beaches and as
Ireland’s premier coastal resort. Youghal is currently top of a
shortlist of locations to host the "P1" Powerboat World
Championship "Grand Prix of the Sea" in 2009.
2. Votes of Congratulations.
Cllrs Burke, Revins and Hennessy were absent from the monthly
meeting.
Cllr Beecher paid tribute to those, 213 in all, who recently gave
blood as part of a donor campaign. Cllr. Linehan-Foley offered
congratulations to Brendan Cooney for his work with the Youghal
Snooker Club. She said he is an ’icon’ in the club. The Cllr. was
then joined by the Mayor in congratulating the appointment of Bat
O’ Keefe to Minister with the Mayor Savage particularly happy to
see a member of government with a senior ministerial post in
Cork.
3. Town Foreman’s Report.
Cllr. Linehan-Foley asked that the lane at Mistletoe Grove be
cleaned up. She cited the overgrowth of weeds as encouraging
people to dump rubbish in the area. She added that an elderly lady
in the area is finding it difficult to step out from her house due to
the close proximity of passing traffic. She suggested the erection
of bollards. The Town Clerk confirmed that a visit had been made
and three bollards would be installed. The Cllr. then added the
grievance of a wheelchair user in Dolphin’s Square who is also
having an accessibility problem with parked cars obstructing his
way. The Town Clerk said the Council were ’awaiting a report’
regarding improvements to Seaview parking on the Cllr’s request
for information on the same. She continued her items by asking
the Council to furnish newly built areas of the town with clear sig-
nage to assist those unfamiliar with the town working in the emer-
gency services, e.g. South Doc. The Town Clerk said signage is a
condition of planning but agreed that some emergency workers
’do not know the town’. Cllr. Linehan-Foley then requested the
’main tourist trail’ of the jail steps be ’cleaned up’. She asked the
Council to write to the Gardai in support of residents in Bayview
who are experiencing traffic problems as church goers park indis-
criminately in the estate at mass times. She then criticised the
delay in fixing a light at 39 South Main Street as ’a disgrace’.
"We’re waiting for the ESB for months," she said. She concluded
by advising an alternative to pebbles as an aesthetic in landscap-
ing, in particular by housing estates, the Fire Station and else-
where as ’kids are picking them up and throwing them at win-
dows’. Cllr. Casey sought information on the works at the
Millennium Playground. He complained that double yellow lines
’are too short’ at Quarryvale and warned ’someone will get killed’.
"It’s very busy and the view is blocked North and South," he said.
He asked that items raised previously by Cllr. Burke (Harrington’s
footpath and ponding in Gallagher’s Tce) receive an update. These
issues were again raised in County Council items with the Town
Engineer stating he had furnished a report. Cllr. Beecher wanted
to know when the public toilets would open at Market Square. The
Town clerk said they are now operating. He added that the aban-
doned volkswagon at Catherine St. car park (a previous concern to
Cllr. Beecher) has also been dealt with. Cllr. Beecher asked that
the grass at Quain’s Tce. be cut at houses 3 and 9. He concluded
by complaining that motorists continue to park in the bus bay at
the Post Office. While the Town Clerk assured him that the Traffic
Warden is dealing with offenders Cllr. Beecher insisted the Gardai
’should patrol it’. Cllr. Murray informed the Council about rubbish
building up at the pump house, Green Park. She also expressed
her frustration at the danger of negotiating the traffic on light-
house hill on exiting the hill at Cliff Pottery. She said the footpath
that runs on the roadside forces the driver out too far. She said
drivers are unsighted ’from every angle’. "That footpath is never
used and it is one of the greatest blunders," she said. Cllr.
McLellan warned of the danger of overgrowth at the Mill Rd.
roundabout. "Visibility is very poor," she said. She added that
motorists coming up from the strand are still turning left onto the
Cork Rd. at Moll Goggin’s corner. She wanted a sign erected and
feared an accident is imminent.
Cork County Council Items
Cllr. Linehan-Foley expressed the belief that the speed limit at
Copperalley ’is too fast for a lane onto the main road’. She then
asked that the Council contact the owner of the land where the
now abandoned rifle range still stands. She said the site has
become a ’den of iniquity’. "There’s drink, drugs and all sorts
going on out there," she said. The Town Clerk said it was a County
Council issue. Cllr. Linehan-Foley asked that the landowner
should still be made aware. Cllr. Beecher again cited illegal dump-
ing of waste at the railway crossing on the Bog Rd. he then
expressed the hope that the footpath at Aura leisure centre would
be completed before the summer season. The Town Engineer con-
firmed that this would be the case ’very shortly’. The Cllr. contin-
ued to pursue the aspiration of securing a super-loo for Claycastle
despite insistence from Cork County Council that they do not
have the funds to install one. Cllr. Linehan-Foley interjected that
there are other toilets available and ’no-one would refuse you’
before joking that the rifle range was also an option. Cllr. Murray
explored the possibility of traffic calming measures at Claycastle
to deal with boy racers as an alternative to Cllr. Revins’ motion to
erect a gate. The Town Clerk expressed the view that a ’minority
should not prevent the majority access to an amenity’. Cllr. Casey
warned that no 50Km speed sign on the new line into town is dan-
gerous. He said motorists are traveling at 60Km along the area.
Cllr. Savage declared that the smell from the landfill site is ’sti-
fling’ and despite the efforts of the County Manager in making the
Cllrs’ concerns clear in County Hall he said the situation is ’not
good enough anymore’ for Youghal. Cllr. Murray queried the rea-
son for the smell’s potency at 6 in the morning and 12 at night. "It
doesn’t add up," she said. The mayor said despite assurances that
waste tonnage would be reduced he has witnessed a ’queue of
artics in the morning’. The County Manager reiterated her desire
to inform County Hall of the Cllrs’ grievance on the problem in
the ’strongest terms’. Cllr. Beecher expressed his concerns that the
EPA had reported ’some seepage from AVR’ and would not rule
out that as part of the current odour emissions from the area. The
discussion sidetracked somewhat to the negative image being
placed on Youghal due to recent reports in the media about the
loss of one blue flag following the 2007 water quality tests carried
out by the EPA. Cllr. Linehan-Foley suggested that it’s time the
Council employed a public relations figure to deal with breaking
news regarding the town. She said Cllrs are often not prepared or
available and that lack of information was allowing the media to
fill in the gaps with negative summation. "Youghal got a totally
negative image because we didn’t have anyone to stand up and
stop the scaremongering or give them the facts. The Town Clerk
relayed those facts to members. He said out of ten tests only one
failed. He said the test failure was the result of ’excessive rainfall’
(a 930% increase) and that examination of sewerage overflow
revealed no problems. He stated that the test was in 2007 and that
the water quality of the beach in question was returned to blue flag
status within a week of the tests. He cited Youghal as top of the
list of possible venues for the forth- coming powerboat champi-
onship and expressed confidence that a blue flag will be awarded
to Red Barn once logistic car parking issues are overcome. He
said ’no media’ had contacted the Town Hall Offices or the Mayor.
The Mayor added that this reporter had contacted him for an inter-
view. He added that negative stories ’always sell newspapers’ but
they are only ’tomorrow’s fish and chip papers’. "Youghal beach
was full at the Bank Holiday weekend after the story broke. I’m
proud of Youghal beach," he said. Cllr. Casey said. "If you put
your foot into Youghal water it is good water. Youghal has blue
flag status without the blue flag." Cllr. Murray said the PR issue
is ’major’ one. She added that the EPA does not report its findings
directly to Cork County Council and lamented the fact that the

report its findings directly to Cork County Council and lamented
the fact that the CCC were unarmed by a lack of information when
the story broke. She is looking to change that policy. "We’re suf-
fering now for last year’s test. Negative press did damage. Nobody
had a chance to react," she concluded. Cllr. Beecher bemoaned the
motive of the news hounds when he asked rhetorically, "Why do
RTE and TV3 want to drag Youghal down, I don’t know."

Town Clerk informed members that 15,000 had been secured
from the Heritage Council.

proposal, due for annual review, was for taxis only
6. Report on Oireachtas Joint Committee on Enterprise, Trade
Decking Supplied and Fitted
and Employment.
Cllr. Murray dismissed this report of the Council’s recent visit to
the Joint Committee (where the concerns and merits of life in
Youghal were forwarded with no little passion by the Town Clerk) References available
as nothing more than regurgitation of what was presented by the
Youghal deputation. "It’s absolutely disappointing," she said. The Free Quotations
Town Clerk agreed. "It’s a poor synopsis with no passion," he said.
Cllr. Murray added that she had investigated with local auctioneers Fully Insured
the interest shown by the Office of Public Works regarding the
seeking of suitable accommodation for the proposed decentraliza-
tion programme. She expressed her surprise that the OPW had not Contact Colum at 086 0408378
contacted any auctioneer despite assurances from the OPW that or Emmet at 087 7700603
they were actively seeking a premises. The Town Clerk said a full
list had been sent from the Council to the OPW. "Someone is
spoofing," responded the Cllr.
7. Correspondence. Muintir na Tire Charity Cycle
Cllr. Casey showed some disbelief and incredulity at a letter from

Youghal native is Navy’s
Seamanship Trainee of the Year
A/Seaman Jason Ansbro from Youghal in East Cork was recently
presented with the first annual ’Brian Goery Memorial Award’ for
Naval Service Seamanship Trainee of the Year for 2007 at a cere-
mony in the National Maritime College of Ireland in Ringaskiddy.
The award is named after A/Seaman Brian Gorey who tragically
died in 2001 and it was Brian’s father Michael and mother Mary
who presented the bronze statuette to A/Seaman Ansbro.
Commodore Frank Lynch, Flag Officer Commanding the Naval
Service said, "The Brian Gorey Seamanship of the year award is
to be a perpetual award and will be presented to the seamanship
student from any seamanship course conducted in the NMCI dur-
ing each calendar year who, in the opinion of the Seamanship
Training Staff, has achieved most in terms of learning and contri-
bution to seamanship. We are very pleased that the Gorey family
have allowed is to name the award in their son’s memory"
The concept of this award was first muted some time ago and it
was announced in November last year by the Minister of Defence,
Mr Willie O’Dea at a reception onboard L.E. EITHNE.
This year’s recipient, A/Sea Jason Ansbro joined the Navy in 2001
and following his initial training was posted to sea on L.E. AIS-
LING and later on L.E. CIARA. He is also a key member of the
Youghal RNLI and has an active interest in all water-sports.
Cdr Mark Mellett, Associate head of the NMCI said, "A/Sea
Ansbro received this award in recognition of his outstanding per-
formance on the recent seamanship professional course. His
enthusiasm and interest in seamanship were clearly evident and
the extra work and self-study completed by him during this course
singled him out as a perfect winner".

YOUGHAL GAA CLUB
Youghal Team who defeated Argideen Rangers in the Premier Intermediate Hurling First Round Game at Pairc Ui Rinn.
INTERMEDIATE HURLING CHAMPIONSHIP
YOUGHAL 2-15 v ARGIDEEN RANGERS 0-12
Played in Pairc Ui Rinn Youghal
started brightly with scores from
frees from Leigh Desmond in the
2nd,5th and 7th minutes. This left
the score 3 points to 1 with the
reply from Mike Walsh. The
telling score of the first half was a
goal from a free by Leigh
Desmond after James O’Mahony
was fouled going through on Goal.
Desmond buried the ball passed a
hapless defence. O’Mahony again
caused havoc 3 minutes later set-
ting up Bill Cooper for Youghal’s
first score from play. The half time
score read Youghal1-8 to Leigh Desmond scored 1-9 in
Argideens 0-5 after another free Youghal’s victory over Argideen
from Desmond and two points Rangers.
from play from Conor Coleman
and a second for the hard working Cooper.
Brendan Ring made his long awaited return for Youghal in the sec-
ond half for Eoin Coleman, a half that saw Argideen open with 3
points to put the pressure on Youghal, and it took a good score
from Richie Cunningham and a free from Leigh Desmond to
restore order and settle the team down again. Brendan Ring stole
a short puck out from Argideen Keeper Noel Coomey and drove
the ball straight back over the bar to leave the scores 1-11 to 0-9
entering the last quarter. Rangers were not out of it by any means
and but for a magnificent block by Cathal O’Laochdha would have
goaled and been right back in it. The Argideen challenge faultered
after this with their last score coming one minute from time from
a disputed 65 with Youghals last score coming from Andrew
Murphy 1 minute into injury time when he pulled on a low ball to
send it past the Keeper. This was a good performance and gives
the Youghal boys a chance to regroup and get a few
injuries sorted out for the next game in about 6 weeks time. .
Team: M. Mulcahy, J. Grace, C. O’Laochdha, A. Murphy, B.

involved. To all those who stewarded on both occasions Well

JUVENILE CLUB: U14 HURLING
YOUGHAL 7-7 V MIDLETON 2-5
Youghal travelled to Midleton and came away with an emphatic
victory thanks to good displays from Mark Coady at full back and
Lee Mc Carthy in the Half back line that gave Midleton little hope
of keeping with the Youghal Boys. Josh Whelan was impressive in
the half forward line as was David 0’ Mahony. This team is per-
forming well and the selectors are delighted with the progress they
have made this year.
Team: M. O’Neill, C. Farrell, M. Coady, R. O’Sullivan, L.

U12 HURLING
The U12’s had two outings last week, Fr. O’Neills on Tuesday
evening in Ballymacoda and Kiltha Og on Friday. Youghal against
O’Neills was a real heart stopper with the Boys going down by 4
points to their hosts who are a grade higher than Youghal. This
was a great performance from the lads which boosted confidence
going into Fridays game against Kiltha Og. Youghal with a weak-
ened team totaly outclassed Kiltha Og and it would have been a
very heavy defeat for them had the selectors in their wisdom not
taken off some of their stronger players at half time. Their were
big performances in both game from Ollie Dempsey Ryan Coady
and Bill Mc Grath.

RIVERSTICK/KINSALE OPEN SPORTS - 5th May.
We only had four athletes competing which was a pity as this is a
very good fixture. There is a lot of clashing this year. At the same
time the Munster Masters, Juniors and U/23 was being held at the
CIT. Eamon O’ Regan had some great runs in both the Junior
1500m and Senior 200m race and stormed home to victory in both.
Patricia Curtin won the G/15 Shot. Aine O Regan came third in the
G/10 200M race and lost her first place in her sprint when she
unfortunately fell. Fearghal Curtin missed his own age group as he
went to support his Dad who earlier won the Munster Masters
15OOM at the CIT. However together with Kieran Lynch, Liam
Lynch and Aine O’ Regan they ran up in the Boys U/12 relay
where they finished fourth in a big field.

In loving memory of a husband, father and
grandfather Michael Bradley, late of
Summerhill, Kinsalebeg, Youghal, whose
anniversary occurs on 18th May.
God saw the road was long,
The hill was hard to climb,
He gentle closed your loving eyes,
And whispered peace be thine,
We shall meet again in a better place,
Where farewell is never spoken,
We shall clasp each other by the hand,
And that clasp shall not be broken,
Forever in our hearts and thoughts.
Always remembered with love from your wife Breda, son
James, daughter Helen, daughter-in-law Mary, son-in-law
Patsy and grandchildren Daniel and Christine.

1ST ANNIVERSARY
In Loving Memory of a Wonderful Mother
and Grandmother Rita McCarthy late of 15
Quain’s Tce. Youghal
Just close your eyes and you will see,
All the memories you have of me,
Just sit and relax and you will find,
I’m really still there, inside your mind,
Don’t cry for me now I’m gone,
for I am in the land of song.
There is no pain, there is no fear,
So dry away that silent tear,
Don’t think of me in the dark and cold,
For here I am no longer old.
I’m in that place that’s filed with love,
Known to you as up above,
We are sending you a gift today,
Written on the wings of a dove,
Be careful how you open it,
Because it’s filled with all our love.
Always loved and remembered by your son Wack, daughter
in law Pauline and grandchildren Kelly and Barry.
FIRST ANNIVERSARY
MCCARTHY
In Loving memory of my mum
Rita McCarthy, late of 3 The Green, Youghal
No words can say, how I feel today,
Or feel in my heart since you went away,
I hide my tears, when I speak your name,
But the pain in my heart remains the same.
I miss you when I need a friend,
Always on you I could depend,
I speak your name with tears unseen,
Wishing your absence was only a dream.
I miss you from the house,
I miss you from the chair,
And it’s worse on special occasions,
When I know you won’t be there.
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knows why
Love Always your daughter Julie, Best Friend Tommy,
grandchildren TomÆs, Nathan and Jason.

GEORGE P. MORGAN,
Late of 1 Pope John Paul Place, Ashe Street,
Youghal, who died on the 15th May 2006
We lost a dad with a heart of gold,
How much we miss him can never be told,
He shared our troubles and helped us along,
If we follow his footsteps we will never go wrong.
We miss you from your fireside chair,
Your loving smile and gentile air
Your vacant place no one can fill,
We miss you dad and always will,
He is a dad so very rare,
Content in his house and always there,
On earth he toiled, in heaven he rests,
God bless you Dad, you are simply the best.
Dearly loved and sadly missed by your loving family
your devoted wife Noreen, sons Frank, Peter and Johnny,
Daughters Ann, Breda, Phil, Kathleen, Liz and Nora,

PEDAL POWER FUNDRAIS-
ER TO BENEFIT THREE
CHARITIES.
By Christy Parker
Muintir na Tire’s annual charity cycle will leave Youghal on its
100km round trip through east Cork and west Waterford on
Saturday next (May 17th). Three east Cork charities to gain from
this year’s effort have been named as Marymount Hospice, Cobh
Community Hospital and East Cork Senior Citizens Committee.
The cycle has contributed over 100,000 to a variety of local char-
ities since it was first run -or peddled- fifteen years ago, This year,
Kia Motors Youghal has generously climbed aboard to sponsor the
event. The cycle will begin and conclude at the company’s Strand
headquarters.
Departing at 9am, the participants will follow a traditional route
through, Tallow, Fermoy, Glanmire. Carrigtwohill, Midleton and
back to Youghal. Cyclists from Cobh will join their peers at
Carrigtwohill. Bucket-laden collectors will accompany the
cyclists and all participants will enjoy an official post-cycle recep-
tion at Youghal Council headquarters.
Youghal cyclist Brian Fitzgerald, who has participated in every
staging of the cycle, explains its origins. "It began 14 years ago
when the late Pat Fitzgerald (no relation) organised the first cycle
fundrasier as a thank you to the Mercy hospital, where he had been
treated for cancer. Thereafter he asked me to organise it and I’ve
done so since. Pat died only three years ago."
Brian adds, "Its not just about raising money. It’s also important to
make people aware of the the existence and needs of the many
charities in our commuinities." "
At the official launch of the 2008 cycle, Sean Murphy of Muintir
na Tire organising committee thanked Kia Motorsin, Midleton,
Youghal, Cobh and Fermoy Town councils for their help. He
observed that all the money collected over the years has gone
directly to the charities. If you see a bucket approaching you next
Saturday, reach for your pocket!
