Died Recently McCarthy’s Hotel Golf Society Under the guidance of our non-playing Captain, Barry Connolly, and his fellow selectors Eoin and Willie, we had a couple of trials and training sessions before the main event. Then the “Big Three” had the hard task of finalizing the team. Five teams of two players on each team had to be picked from a panel of 13, which was submitted at the time of entry. They obviously got it right as four of the five teams won their ties and the other team drew. All the players excelled on the day, but special mention must go to Vincent Woodlock who, according to his partner Dicey, played out of his skin with a number of birdies on his card. The team are now waiting with anticipation for the next round draw. It is rumoured that Brian Higgins will introduce his relaxation therapy technique to the rest of the team prior to the match. Probably. Recent Death The End Is Nigh! Curragh Win Fethard Ladies Football Social Dancing Fethard’s New Equine Hospital The surgical team has treated and operated on many horses at a small facility at John Halley’s residence while a new specially designed and purpose built hospital was being constructed on the Killenaule Road. This exciting project has just been completed and is now up and running at full speed. There are a few other Equine Hospitals in Ireland, but this is the first in Munster with such facilities. There are two surgical suites with padded recovery boxes, allowing the horse to be fully anaesthetized. This enables both short keyhole joint surgery and longer more complicated surgeries like fracture repair and colic surgery. The hospital has a large number of diagnostic tools such as digital x-ray, endoscopy and ultrasound scanning, as well as a nursing area to monitor critical patients in an intensive care area. Currently, there are enough boxes to accommodate 15 horses, with another barn in the pipeline. Four veterinary surgeons, of which two are Board Certified Equine Surgeons, are presently working in the hospital, assisted by three veterinary nurses, two barn staff and a full time administrative secretary. There is 24-hour cover provided for the hospital with several vets and a nurse living on site to provide the best possible care. We wish John Halley and his team all the best with their exciting new venture. Fethard Juvenile GAA Our under-16s were at home to Moyle Rovers on Monday evening last in the start of their championship season. Results next week. We wish them the very best of luck.

Fethard Bridge Club Results On Wednesday 21st March the results of our club game were: Moyglass crowned champions The club would like to thank everybody for the special effort during the season and a special thank you is extended to Martin Power, Jim Costigan and Thomond O’Meara for the use of their machinery for pitch maintenance. We wish good luck to both teams in Division 1 next year. Hayes calls on Minister Roche to sanction funding for Fethard application He said: “I am calling on Minister Roche to fund this worthwhile project in Fethard. It is ridiculous that the process of securing funding for such a worthwhile project is so drawn out and delayed by red tape. Money should be readily available from the government for essential maintenance work on estates like Fr. Tirry Park. For example, money is badly needed there to improve access for ambulances”. The local TD said that he would continue his campaign to secure more funding from the government for repair and upgrading projects in South Tipperary.
