Tom Crane talks about his book Thomas Crane, author of 'Green is the Valley, Blue are the Hills' talks about his book, recorded before a live audience at Lansing Library, Illinois, USA. Tom, with Fethard connections, speaks about the writing of his book, how the book was placed on the World Wide Web, the names of the people who helped him through the whole process and finally, reads some of his poems. The presentation was recorded as a Podcast for broadcast over the World Wide Web (we have plans for more Podcasts from the Fethard site in the near future). Click here to listen To The Broadcast The Well Golf Society Miceál McCormack honoured by Fethard GAA The club were honoured to have in our presence the South Board Secretary, Sean Nugent and his wife Betty, who said that he would endeavour to work with Miceál in the same manner as he had with the last two chairmen, Barry O’Brien and Willie Barrett. He did say that Miceál will be the boss and during his term decisions will have to be made that some may not like. Miceál thanked all present and from his playing career back in the sixties and seventies, he always dreamt of becoming a club officer and his ambitions were honoured in 1981-1987 and 1996-1999, when he became secretary. It was the greatest honour of his career to take that job in light of the great men that had gone before him such as Tommy Hogan etc. He said that he was club chairman from 1993 to1995 during the time the Fethard GAA field was being renovated and looks on it today as one of the best playing fields in the division. Miceál wishes, for his time in office, that he achieves to have at least one referee from every club in the division on board. Everyone present wished him the best of luck.

Community Games Quiz Ladies Football Club Juvenile GAA Notes Our under-16 A football team will play Cahir in Fethard next Monday night at 7pm. all players to be in field at 6.20pm. We also have to play Moyle Rovers, Commercials and Carrick Swan in games to be rescheduled. Best of luck to all teams. Our club would like to wish former chairman and committee member, Liam Hayes, the best of luck in his new business venture of hurley making. Our deepest sympathy goes to the Kiely family of Cahir on the recent loss of their son Liam. Liam was a fabulous person, both on and off the field, who broke our hearts on many occasions in both football and hurling. His presence will be sadly missed. Finally with regards to an article which appeared in the Fethard Notes last week, where as some of the comments may have some foundation, we would like to point out that all our juvenile football teams play in the A competitions and by the beginning of next year all our juvenile hurling teams, with the exception of under-12s, will also be in A division. With regards to success, we may not have won a lot, but is success at juvenile level measured by what you win or by what you achieve? Easter Egg Surprise Hackett Family Query
I have been purposefully brief as I do not want to waste your time but should you know something I can tell you more. I am engaged in historical/biographical research and the names and places above have come up in the work. If I can find Catherine Hacket and some detail on her, Fethard may have an added piece of history. I hope you can assist me. A Parting Glass! Then they were off again. They had to find a bar in Cork before heading for Sligo and then back to Dublin to get to the three bars that were closed when they started their tour. We wish them well on their quest. Hope they remember some of it. State-of-the-Art Science Lab Broadband access to the internet is also available to any student needing it for Science-related project work. Each laboratory is also equipped with a computer/laptop and digital projector so that students can reap the benefits of the vast selection of science education software available on the market. Very often, concepts that are difficult to grasp from textbooks make a lot more sense when they can be seen in action on a computer screen. Almost overnight, attitudes have changed. Before, science in our school was viewed by most students as monotonous, hard work, and something to be endured. Now they can see that, given the right environment / atmosphere, and supplied with the necessary resources, it is a whole new ball game. All of the subjects (Chemistry, Physics and Biology) are excellently catered for in the new facilities, and it augurs well for the study of science and science-related subjects for the future.
