A cryptic message from the past leads James Bond (Daniel Craig) to Mexico City and Rome, where he meets the beautiful widow (Monica Bellucci) of an infamous criminal. After infiltrating a secret meeting, 007 uncovers the existence of the sinister organization SPECTRE. Needing the help of the daughter of an old nemesis, he embarks on a mission to find her. As Bond ventures toward the heart of SPECTRE, he discovers a chilling connection between himself and the enemy (Christoph Waltz) he seeks.

Trainer of the week

Album of the week

I Like It When You Sleep by The 1975 When a band conquers the charts with a fun but inoffensive debut album, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect them to return with a 17-track follow-up that tempers pop tunes with swampy post-rock instrumentals and references mental health, religion, addiction, loneliness and fame. But The 1975, whose self-titled debut hit number one in 2013, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t concerned with playing it safe on new album, I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It.

Game of the week

Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 still pits potted plants against zombie scientists and seed shooting sunflowers against undead quarterbacks, only this time it takes the form of a third-person shooter spread across a load of different maps and game modes. On top of the classic team deathmatch, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also kill confirmed - where kills only count if you collect orbs from fallen enemies - and even a mode where you try to detonate an exploding gnome in your opponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s base.

When the two finally reunite, Nobby finds out that his sibling is a top MI6 agent whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just uncovered a sinister plot.

Book of the week

Brooklyn by Colm Toibin Colm Toibinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2009 novel has had a resurgence due to its Oscar-nominated film adaptation staring Saoirse Ronan. Hauntingly beautiful and heartbreaking, Colm TĂłibĂnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sixth novel, Brooklyn, is set in Brooklyn and Ireland in the early 1950s, when one young woman crosses the ocean to make a new life for herself.

App of the week

YouTube Kids (free) YouTube Kids aims to be for children what normal YouTube is for everyone else. A simple, colourful interface makes interactions a breeze even for little hands and developing minds and it strips out all the unsuitable content youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find on the full fat YouTube, leaving just kid-friendly entertainment and educational videos. There are also parental controls baked in, so adults are always in control, allowing you to lock off content or activate a timer, limiting your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s video time.

LEINSTER U-21 FC

Rare modern day football scoring spree â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wicklow 5-12, Carlow 3-13 IN AN era of sweepers, packed defences and containing tactics that stiďŹ&#x201A;e the game, it was refreshing to be in Carlow IT on Wednesday night when Wicklow and Carlow produced a rare modern day football scoring spree, a hurling-type exchange the electronic scoreboard ďŹ&#x201A;ash up a whopping combined tally of 8 goals and 25 points! The tone was set inside 30 seconds when Carlowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diarmaid Walshe completed excellent approach work with a well-drilled shot to the town end rigging. Come half-time Wicklow, with their tall No 9 and eager-beaver No 11 prominent, had careered into a 3-6 to 1-7 lead, the third goal from a penalty just before the break, and had extended that advantage to 4-10 to 1-10 with 10

minutes to go. Carlow, though, were handed a life-line when Niall Lowry ďŹ nished a long ball to the visitors net and with a minute and a half the Tinryland club man repeated the feat and suddenly Carlow were back in the hunt, fashioning the openings for the points that levelled proceedings as the game entered injury-time. Just as we contemplated the prospects of extra-time on a cold, cold night, just as we even dared dream of an unlikely victory and a second round match against neighbours Laois next week, Wicklow won the kick-out from the levelling point and kicked a lead point. Carlow won the next kick-out but gave the ball away cheaply and Wicklow struck for the clinching goal, add-

ing a point for good measure. A grand open game of football, both managers opting for an attacking game though the backs on both sides could have been tighter and no fault could be attached to Carlow goalkeeper Craig White for the balls which passed him. The home side lost mid-ďŹ elder Dion Wall to a black card late in the ďŹ rst half while all six starting forwards scored, a rare Carlow feat, with Niall Lowry taking top honours with an opportunist 2-2. Carlow, under manager Peter McConnon, had put in diligent preparation for this game and though defeated the performances ranks as a major improvement on the disappointing efforts of recent years while 1984 remains as the lone year in

which the red, yellow and green contested the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming of age ďŹ nal. Carlow: Craig White (Ă&#x2030;ire Ă&#x201C;g); Anthony Byrne (Clonmore), John Murphy (Tinryland), Cathal Kelly (Ă&#x2030;ire Ă&#x201C;g) ; Mark Rennick (Palatine), Mark Furey (Ă&#x2030;ire Ă&#x201C;g), Conor Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole (Tinryland); Kelvin Chatten (Ă&#x2030;ire Ă&#x201C;g), Dion Wall (Fenagh); Diarmuid Walshe (Tinryland) 1-2 0-2f, Conor Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien (Rathvilly) 0-2, Lar Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Sullivan (Burren Rangers) 0-2; Donal Smithers (Naomh Eoin) 0-2, Darren Lunney (Michael Davitts) 0-2, Niall Lowry (Tinryland) 2-2. Subs: Colin Byrne (Michael Davitts) for Furey (27); Shane Webb (Tinryland) 0-1 for Wall (Black Card, 32); Conor McGrath (Tinryland) for Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole (45).

Congress triumph Green ďŹ&#x201A;ags end to Carlowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promotion hopes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Waterford 3-15, Carlow 0-15 TRAILING 1-3 to 0-1 early on, Patrick Hurney having planted a low shot in Dr Cullen Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dressing room end rigging, Carlow looked in trouble but come half-time the home county trailed just 1-5 to 0-7 and given their kicking of several bad wides, including a couple from score able frees, it could be argued Turlough Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien charges could have retired in front. That said Waterford had kicked their share of wides too but when Hurney struck for his second goal in the 44th minute, a speculative cross from the stand side-line winding up in the net, maybe getting a touch from the loitering forward, Carlow were playing catch-up again. And played it well too, subs Derek Hayden and Paul Broderick (45) pointing with their ďŹ rst touches to reduce the arrears to 2-12 to 0-15 with ďŹ ve minutes remaining. Waterford, though, ďŹ nished the stronger, a straight red card for home full-back Daniel St Ledger and a hat-trick of points easing the Decies clear before the impressive Donie Breathnach, with a third goal deep in the 5th minute of injury time, left Carlow nursing one of their heaviest ever defeats at the

hands of the Munster county. Having now dropped home points to Antrim and Waterford, with Wicklow next up in dreaded Aughrim, group favourites Wexford and Louth to be played down the line, Carlowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long held ambition of escaping the basement division is once again â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;on holdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, a stark contrast to this time last year when Carlow, for only the fourth tie in their history, had remained unbeaten after the opening four rounds of the league. The loss of key mid-ďŹ elder Brendan Murphy (ill) before throw-in was a big blow though Sean Gannon and Hughie Gahan

worked hard in this department while Daniel St Ledger and John Murphy anchored the defence reasonably well until their departures, once courtesy of the Northern referee, one courtesy of his manager! Carlowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tally of 0-15 was pleasing given that they could manage just four white ďŹ&#x201A;ags away to London and an unusual angle on the compilation on last Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15 was that four different players contributed points from frees/45s and would have been ďŹ ve but for the fact St Ledger narrowly missed a â&#x20AC;&#x2122;45â&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Carlow: Robbie Molloy (Rathvilly); Barry John Molloy
