Hunting News White Heathers Fethard GAA Club News Congratulations to Jimmy O’Shea and Jack Wall on receiving the Cumann na Sean nGael Awards in Brú Ború Cashel on Sunday 18th November bringing a total of ten awards to Fethard in five years.

Tickets available from any committee member On Sunday next 25th November in Grangemockler a special commemoration will be held after 10am Mass for Mick Hogan of Bloody Sunday fame who was shot in Croke Park. As Fethard was one of the six clubs represented on that famous day on 20th November 1920, with Scout Butler, Ned O’Shea (Captain), Gus McCarthy all playing their part on the Tipperary senior football team that played Dublin, we would ask that as many as possible be present to honour those gone before us. Our Lotto Jackpot €7,600 was not won. The numbers drawn were 12, 15, 19 and 30. We had one ‘match three’ winner who received €150: Esther Breen (Barrack St Fethard). The €50 Lucky Dip was won by Rita Doyle (Woodvale Walk). Thanks to Fethard Wholesale Electrical for providing the tickets. We extend our deepest sympathy at this time to the Kennedy family (Tipp) on the death of Hugh, and to the Prout family (Killusty) on the death of Kathleen. Go ndeanai Dhia Trocaire ar an ainmeachta.

Aidan Ward excels at Abymill Aidan Ward returned to the Abymill Theatre last weekend and presented a top class professional show with guest musicians from Galway. This is Aidan’s second time performing in the Abymill since taking his music on the road some years ago and touring Europe. His up-front honesty and love of live is well documented in the words of his album ‘Water’ and is highly recommended listening. He has penned some beautiful poignant songs recounting his relationship with his father Philip, who died in 1990 in his early 40s. The twenty years or so that Aidan only had with his father left a lasting impact on his life and music as explained in his song ‘Requiem’ I’ll show you the beauty of all there is to see ‘Cos I got through broken I’ll breathe for your soul Aidan has played music from an early age and joined the Pheasant Pluckers on many occasions performing his own songs with a passion that later developed into a gifted ability to document life with great sensitivity. Aidan has his own website www.aidan-ward.com and anyone wishing to purchase his music can get further details on the site or by email: aidanward.com@hotmail.com We wish Aidan every success in the future and one can get a glimpse of his character by reading his following article published in the Fethard & Killusty Newsletter, at the age of 16, entitled: It is up to us, the young, to prove to the elderly that they are loved, needed, wanted and respected members of our society. After all, we owe them a lot. They have passed down to us our Parish of Fethard and Killusty, our faith, our culture and our traditions. We need to put an end to the maltreatment of our elders by correcting those few who are the cause of it, and make the Parish of Fethard and Killusty a safer place for the elderly to live. So young people from this day forth, say hello to an old person you see, smile and show them that they need not be afraid. If they are trying to get past you and your friends on the footpath, move back and let them through. Give them any help you can, call in to see them more regularly and by doing these simple things we can ease the terrible fear in the old peoples’ hearts and show them that they are loved.” Aidan Ward, 9th November 1986.
