Cemetery Rosaries for November Tuesday November 1st Feast of all Saints: Sunday 6th November: Sunday 13th November: Sunday 20th November: Sunday 27th November: Tipperary's Cumann na Sean Ghael Awards

As in previous years there are ten award winners from each of the four GAA Divisions in the county and the recipients, who must be over 70 years of age have, in the opinion of the organising Committee, all rendered significant service to the Gaelic Athletic Association in the county as a player, official, supporter, etc. The County Tipperary Cumann na Sean Ghael Committee is comprised of John Moloney, Chairman; John Costigan, Noel Morris, Seamus King, Pat Moroney, Seamus McCarthy; and Micheal O'Meara, Secretary. Joe Ahearn Tom McCormack Fethard Judo Club News The highlight for many of the Fethard contingent was the outstanding American team that had come over for the event and performed a brilliant display of their skills in Judo, the likes not seen in Ireland very often. Our club performed very well winning six medals. On Saturday we had Stephanie Lawrence fighting in both the under-20 and senior events. Stephanie fought well in both grades and came home with two silver medals. Next was Samantha Feery who also competed in the under-20 section and won a bronze medal. Both Richard and Cathal Gorey fought well on the day but were unlucky not to win a medal. On Sunday Cathal Gorey did his club proud by winning our only gold medal in great style. Although he had some very hard fights, no one was going to stop him. Samantha Feery, this time competing in her own age group, showed us just how well she can fight by winning a silver medal in great style. Natalie Cahill was our other medal winner, receiving bronze and fighting very hard to achieve it. Unlucky on the day were: Lorraine Feery, Alan Brannigan and Tom Woodlock. Congratulations to all the competitors and keep up the great work. All Saints, All Souls and The Resurrection During the month of November a large tree, called the tree of Light and Life, will be placed in the Sanctuary. Everyone is invited to write the names of their beloved dead on a piece of paper and tie them on the Tree of Light. Please take home a special piece of paper, which can be found at the back of the church, write the names and then tie them to the tree during the next weeks. We will also make out the traditional dead lists, also to be found in the back of the church. Complete these and return them as soon as possible, certainly by lst of November, and place them in the ‘November dead box’. The names on these lists will be read out at a special ceremony during the Celebration Mass for the Dead on All Souls Day. Please make sure the names are legible!. If you have a photograph of a deceased relative who died at home or elsewhere, please hand it in to Joe Kenny, Rocklow Road (no frames please), and they too will be mounted on a special display board in the Abbey. All these will be remembered and prayed for during the month of November. Fethard Rugby Club The under 16s held on to secure victory over Carrick in Fethard on Saturday evening, leading seventeen points to nil at half-time, Carrick rallied in the second half and Fethard held on to win by 24-20. Dean Tobin in his first game showed prospects while Michael Power, Johnny Moroney and Dave Gorey were also prominent. Our under-8, under-10 and under-12 teams travelled to Thurles on Sunday morning and had some great games. The under 8 were beaten by five tries to four. Paul Moloney got the first score of the day while Ben Murray, Emily Kavanagh and Tommy Murphy also scored. Killian O'Dwyer, Richard Holohan, Jennifer Keating, Luke Grant and Louie Quirke had fine games and were unlucky not to earn a draw. The under 10 had a good win with some great passing movements. Paul Butler, Eoin Hurley and Joss Murray were always going forward while Russell Casey, Cian O'Connell, Shane Cleere and Colm Grant did some great defensive work. The under-12s had to give best in their game but nevertheless they kept trying to the end. Jack Devaney, Jonathan Yates and Michael Smith were impressive in attack while William Morgan, Philip Meagher and Cohn Meagher were very solid in defence. This team is improving with every game.
