Happy 21st Mike Fethard ICA Notes Corpus Christi Procession Fethard Community Sportsfield Draw On behalf of the committee, Suzanna thanked everybody who sold tickets, purchased tickets and assisted in any way. Several people put in a tremendous effort but special thanks must go to Jimmy O’Sullivan and Paul Kavanagh whose brainchild this was to begin with. Great credit must go to these two gentlemen who co-ordinated the whole operation to such a successful conclusion. Mr and Mrs Magnier, Coolmore, were also complimented on their generosity in providing the field which is being used to full capacity at the moment. Tribute was paid to Mr John Halley for assisting us to cater for the overflow. Proceeds from the draw are in excess of €75,000 at the moment. Last but not least thanks to Rev Canon James Power who did the honours of drawing the tickets for the following lucky winners: 1st prize €10,000 Frances Harrington, Railstown, Fethard. 2nd Prize €5,000 Michael Hayes, Coolmore, Fethard. 3rd Prize €2,500 Anthony Hayes, Burke Street, Fethard.

Fethard Juvenile GAA Club Under-14s played the final in their south championship on Sunday evening of last week against Clonmel Commercials in Monroe and were not fortunate on the night. These young men played their socks off and the final score was by no means a reflection on the way that they played. Congratulations to Commercials on their win. It was really wonderful to see the support that turned out on the day to shout these young men on. The club would like to thank them all for coming and many thanks also to the trainers for the time and effort that they have put into the team. Their hurling championship begins shortly and we can only wish them the very best of luck Congratulations to Aaron Conran and Brian Delahunty on representing South Tipp on Saturday last week in the under-14 hurling championship in Thurles and were fortunate on the day beating Mid-Tipp to take home the plate. Congratulations also to Dylan Fitzgerald on representing South Tipp in the Southern and District Schoolboys Soccer in the DD Cremmins Tournament played in Cooke Park, Tipp Town. They played a two-day tournament and came away the victors on the day. Any queries please phone club secretary Tel: 086 1713502. Three gold and one silver for Fethard Athletes The final between Darragh Lynch and club mate Mark Heffernan, who won the silver medal, was so close it was a battle all the way to the line. Mark Heffernan won his heat, Darragh was third in his heat but pulled out all the stops where it really mattered. Eric Fogarty won his heat and his final in fine style beating PJ Tunstall, Moycarkey Borris, and John Carroll, Ballina. Adam O’Donnell is a very promising long distance runner who is having a wonderful season at the moment and showed his stamina winning from Kieran Purcell Gortnahoe and John Crowe Tipperary Town. Our two qualifiers ran very well. Jack Gleeson, Coolmore, won his heat and finished 2nd in the semifinal, Luke Grant was 2nd in his heat and 2nd in the semifinal, beaten by Eoin Hoctor, Clonmel, who won the gold medal. The lads were all part of the 100m final which had to be run twice which is very hard on finalists. Kate Quigley and Hannah Tobin were 2nd and 3rd in their heats of under-12 100m. Aine Phelan ran exceptionally well. As always in a very competitive event, our neighbours out in Ballyvaden, both won bronze for Killenaule Moyglass area. Hannah Trehy was 3rd in under-16 high jump, her sister Róisín was 3rd in under-14 long jump. Both girls are members of Fethard Athletic Club. Darragh, Eric and Adam will now represent Tipperary at the HSE Community Games National Final, which will take place in Mosney on the weekend of 24 to 26th of August. We would encourage any competitors who are not already members of Fethard Athletic Club to please join the club now as coaching will be very beneficial to them. Contact Fintan Rice at (052) 31670 who trains in the Fethard Community Sportsfield every Monday and Wednesday evening from 6.30 to 7.30 pm. The three winners are also asked to please hand in photocopy of their birth certificate and a passport type photo to the Community Games Office, Grove Road, immediately. CLICK FOR COMMUNITY GAMES PHOTOS Visit to High Crosses enjoyed by all The group visited the cross at Moone, which depicts the twelve apostles. Carved from granite, it stands over seventeen foot high, making it the second tallest high cross in the country. When the group stopped at Ahenny they were greeted by Councillor John Fahy and a group of proud local residents, as well they might be. The crosses at Ahenny are particularly impressive in their beautiful graveyard setting. Leo Cody, a local resident, produced one of the best surprises of the day, a plaster cast of a panel from the north cross at Ahenny. The cast was made in 1909 by an Italian man who stayed with Leo's grand-aunt while studying the crosses. The Historical Society members were delighted with the turnout and everyone enjoyed a most interesting day. Fethard Scout Notes
