FETHARD LADIES FOOTBALL
History was created in Fethard GAA Park last Sunday when the newly formed Fethard Ladies football team won their first ever match. The team has been formed for a little over a month in Fethard and much thanks must go to Tom Anglim, Conor McCarthy, Aidan Fitzgerald and Geraldine McCarthy for all their coaching and organisation.
Against stiff opposition (Moyne-Templetuohy) in this championship game, the many spectators who attended were treated to a very exciting match. Due to a great contribution from everyone on the team the final scoreline was Fethard 2-8 and Moyne Templetuohy 1-2
The team was: Jenny Fogarty, Kate Hanrahan, Ailish O’Connell, Sandra Maher, Valerie Colville, Marie Holohan, Rebecca Morris, Jacqui Stokes Freyne, Barbara Ryan, Ailish Sheehan (0-2), Vanessa O'Donnell (1-2), Meela Noonan, Edel Fitzgerald, Sharon O’Meara, Jennifer Keane (1-4).

As our year draws to an end it is great to say that on Saturday night the club was able to recognise achievement once again. The ‘Copping On’ project ended with the presentation of certificates of participation. The certificates were given at the end of the last session, which was hosted by Des Bell, Juvenile Liaison Officer for the Garda Siochana. We would like to thank especially Noelle O'Dwyer who facilitated the project, as Tipperary Regional Youth Service Rural Outreach worker, for her commitment to us by driving from Limerick each Saturday night during the length of the programme and the enthusiasm she showed our young people in the delivery of this project.
Thanks to Des Bell who struck up such a rapport with the young people that they have arranged to have him back for a question time on Saturday the 24th of May.
In receipt of certificates were: Tom Gilpin, Susie Harvey, Ashley McCormack, Sarah Kennedy, Tracy Coady, Helen Frewen, Kyle O'Donnell, Brian Conway, Fintan Maher, William O'Brien and Chris Whyte.

Helen Frewen and Kyle O’Donnell, both from Fethard Youth Club, who were appointed Student Liaison Officers between Patrician Presentation Secondary School Fethard and Tipperary Regional Youth Services.

We would also like to congratulate Kyle O'Donnell and Helen Frewen who have been accepted by the Tipperary Regional Youth Service and the Patrician Presentation Secondary School as Student Liaison Officers. Good luck in your posts for the next academic year.
Further to group discussions as to how to offer some return service to the Fethard Community for their support over the last three years the club members began a 'clean up' of the ballroom area and the river bank. The rubbish collection will continue for the next three weeks until summer closure. On Saturday night alone the members of the club collected no less than seven black bags of litter, cans and bottles including large pieces of foam and a full front fender of a car!

The club is presently in contact with a youth group in the Loire valley of France with regard to an exchange which will encompass outdoor activities, sport and dance. We hope to be able to run with this during either the February or Easter break of 2004. We are also working with a Danish youth group for summer next year, they are interested in art and theatre. We had hoped to have an exchange this summer but the time constraints on all involved parties were just too strict.
Our EVS project is still moving forward with countries such as Portugal and indeed Slovakia proposing some very interesting projects for our volunteer Emmet Burke.
On a final note, congratulations to the Fethard lads on their resounding victory in Kilsheelan. Great game lads especially the second half. The weather was atrocious but they stormed to victory. Congrats again from everyone in the club.

FETHARD JUVENILE GAA
It was a busy week for the Juvenile Community Games teams with both under/10 football and under/13 hurling being played. The under/10 team travelled to Cahir in their second game and were very unfortunate not to come away with a win. They played the first half against a very strong wind and a strong Cahir team. They fought well to keep the score down in the first half but were unable to keep it up in the second half. There were some great performances by every member of a very young Fethard team.
The under/13 hurling team also travelled to Cahir on the same evening and came away with a great win and go onto the next round. The team showed much skill and determination and with some great performances by the whole team we wish them well. Well done to Liam, Ian, Martin and Jim.
The under/16s, who have shown some really great performances in previous matches, were unfortunately beaten by St Patricks in the semi-final. Well done to the lads and all involved.
Our under/14s play away to Ardfinnan on Monday next at 7pm. Good luck to the team.
Training for under/14s at 6pm Friday evenings

ANNIVERSARY CONCERT

The Gordonaires choir from Clonmel who sang at the Abymill 15th Anniversary Concert in Fethard last weekend. The Gordonaires rehearse weekly in Clonmel and their policy is, ‘singing for pleasure without pressure’.

Many regular patrons of the Abymill Theatre were of the opinion that the 15th Anniversary Concert on Friday night, 9th May, was one of the best ever staged in the theatre. The performance of the three young ladies of ‘Sopranos’ certainly ranks with the best seen in the Abymill over the years. The varied programme of popular operatic arias, songs from the musical theatre and shows, together with some of our own well-known Irish airs, which can hold their own in any musical situation, had something for certainly everyone. The girls were very well supported by the excellent male voice choir The Gordonaires from Clonmel, and MC Billy McLellan was at his brilliant best. The artistes were given a prolonged standing ovation by the full capacity attendance at the shows conclusion.
Austin O’Flynn, stand up and take a bow! All of us have dreams but very few of us live to see them fulfilled. Austy, who has a life-long association with Fethard dramatics, had a dream that Fethard would one day have its own theatre. He has seen that dream fulfilled in the Abymill. Austy would be the first to admit that without the help of a good committee it would not have been realised. However, Austy has been the driving force behind the success of the Abymill. Throughout the fifteen years, he has selected, casted and produced some top class plays by the Fethard Players Dramatic Society. The Abymill has also been home to many excellent productions by the Hogan Musical Society and School Shows.
Austy has brought a variety of international musical acts to Fethard, The Brass Ensemble of Glasgow University Orchestra, The RTE Chamber Orchestra, The Baroque Quartet; The Irish Ballet Company, The Four Note Orchestra, blues singer Mary Coughlan, the Dowling Celiedh Band from Kilkenny, are just a few of the many. Through his own promotional efforts he has, as on last Friday night, brought full house attendances to music that may not have appealed to many, but following the performance, all who attended left with a appreciation of a different type of music they may not have had already.
Austy will be greatly embarrassed by all this publicity, which he usually shuns. He is proud of his Abymill Theatre, Fethard should also be proud of Austy O’Flynn who has provided such high class entertainment for the people of Fethard and surrounding areas over the years. He hopes to book ‘Sopranos’ to play the Abymill during their ‘Christmas Tour’ later in the year.

COMMUNITY COUNCIL MEETING
The next meeting of Fethard and Killusty Community Council will take place on Tuesday 27th May at 8.30pm in the Tirry Community Centre. The committee have recently met with representatives from Tipperary Leader to discuss projects for the development of the Convent Hall.

FETHARD COMMUNITY SPORTS FIELD LTD.
Further meeting regarding fundraising took place in Tirry Centre on Wednesday last. There was a small attendance at this meeting, which is never surprising when fundraising is involved. However, members of the community will get a chance to redeem themselves and show their appreciation of the generosity of Coolmore Stud and their support of the community sports field when sponsorship cards will be delivered to every house in the parish in the near future. This sponsorship will be for a community walk around Ballybough on Friday June 27th commencing at 6.30pm and finishing with fun events in the sports field. Some well known personalities will be invited to attend. There will be a special sellers draw for all families who return a full card. Rugby and Athletic Clubs have kindly donated prizes worth €100 each to this draw. This is a community effort and the whole parish are expected to get involved. There are big plans for this field, which will be of tremendous benefit to everybody.

FETHARD ATHLETIC CLUB
The county track and field championships took place last weekend in Scanlon Park Kilkenny. Fethard A.C. was represented by 40 juvenile athletes who competed with distinction to bring home a total of 15 individual medals and two sets of relay medals.
This result was a well-earned reward for the hard work done in training since Christmas. Our top performers were county champions, John Lalor who won the under-12, 65m hurdles and Michelle Ryall who took gold in the 80m sprint and silver in the long jump. Best all round athlete was Hannah Trehy who won four individual medals, bronze in the under-12, 80m, 600m and long jump and silver in the 65m hurdles.

Our Senior Footballers commenced their defence of the South Title on Sunday last 4th May with a victory over our near rivals Clonmel Commercials on a scoreline, Fethard 0-7, Clonmel Commercials 0-5. Our six backs stood firm with Paul Fitzgerald excellent in goal, At centerfield Aidan Fitzgerald and P. J. Ahearn (Kenneth Byrne) tipped the balance in our favour, while on the half forward line Glen Burke 0-4 (3f), John P. Looby 0-1 and Willie Morrissey 0-1 did a lot off the damage. The inside line were very effective in setting up the scores. Conor McCarthy was replaced by Michael Dillon 0-1, with Brian Coen, Miceál Spillane causing plenty off problems for opposition backs.
Our minors were also in action on Sunday last and had a very comprehensive victory over Clonmel Og on a scoreline, Fethard 2-9, Clonmel Og 0-6. All of our six backs played with great heart and at centerfield Shane Walsh 1-0 and Darren O'Meara 0-1 controlled the midfield area. At half forward Alan Burke 1-0 and Shane Aylward 0-3 proved too strong for opposition backs, while the inside line of Paul Kenrick 0-4 (1f) and John Leahy 0-1 created and secured a lot of chances.

KILLUSTY WIN IN IMPRESSIVE STYLE

Killusty Youths soccer team and officials photographed in Lonergans Bar at a social held before they left on a trip to Peterborough, England, where they played the area champions Laungtop United.

Killusty Youths won the Tipperary 2nd Div Youths League this year. They continued on their winning ways by winning in Peterborough, England by beating their area champions Laungtop United 5-2. With an excellent team performance Jamie McCormack was outstanding throughout the game and contributed four goals with Eoghan Aylward scoring 1, to get on the score sheet. The Peterborough side took an early lead after nine minutes and Killusty got an early warning of their ability. The boys responded with some excellent defending and an overall lift to their game. Excellent link up play lead to a pass down the right side which Jamie McCormack rounded the defender and struck an unstoppable shot to the left corner which gave the keeper no change. At 11 this was the tonic that the lads needed and the Peterborough side who for the past two seasons have top of their division, witnessed some exhibition football from Killusty. On 18 mins it was 2-1 to Killusty with that man again Jamie McCormack putting us into the lead for the first time in the game to the delight of the Tipperary representation. The Peterborough side fought back after going 2-I down and thanks to some fine saves by our stand-in goalkeeper Liam Frewen, he kept the scores at 2-1. Throughout the game the Killusty defence were excellent with team captain Shane Aylward playing a sweeper role, clearing our defence, time after time, aided by Noel Walsh, the Garry Breen of Killusty who is seldom beaten. In the air on the left Dan Lonergan was the only change to the back four and had a great game. Right full Joey Feery gave it the usual 100 yd and turned defensive play into attack on several occasions throughout the game, indeed it was on the 32nd minute that this play worked when Philip Ryan, Alan Burke and John Conway put a string passes together which found Jamie McCormack who passed to an alert Eoghan Aylward who was to make the score 3-i in Killusty's favour, coming up to half time. With their tails up, Killusty were to add a fourth goal on the stroke of half time with Jamie McCormack completing his hatrick and attracting the attention of the Peterborough management team. Going in at half time 4-1 to Killusty Youths. This day was something special.

The Peterborough side came out with all guns blazing in the second half and once again the Killusty rear guard stood firm and had to work much harder in midfield, both Eoghan Aylward who had an excellent game throughout and Alan Burke whose physical strength was a great asset to the team. The reliable John Conway was always a threat to the Peterborough side and throughout the game played well. Philip Ryan made some fine runs down the left side of midfield. William Doyle tried hard throughout the game for much of the second half. Killusty played the keep possession roll. However the Peterborough side had other ideas and came close to scoring on more than one occasion. The Peterborough side brought the scores back to 4-2 in Killusty's favour. But Killusty were not finished yet and a further goal from Jamie McCormack his fourth of the day was to seal their faith. Jamie had done the business, four goals, on foreign soil. A round-up of his success this season with the team, Jamie has scored 18 goals in the Tipp league. Fourteen in Youths competition and four junior, and to top it all a further four goals for the Killusty side in this famous win in England. His total contribution 22 goals scored this season.
