DVD of the week

The Wax Bar

In the Heart of the Sea

The Wax Bar was established to specialise in waxing and advance waxing for both men and women. Their specially trained, professional staff will ensure that you feel minimal discomfort during your Wax Bar treatment. The Wax Bar also provides a wide range of beauty treatments and well as waxing treatments. Visit www.waxbarcarlow for more details.

In 1820, crewmen (Chris Hemsworth, Benjamin Walker, Cillian Murphy) aboard a New England vessel face a harrowing battle for survival when a whale of mammoth size and strength attacks with force, crippling their ship and leaving them adrift in the ocean. Pushed to their limits and facing storms, starvation, panic and despair, the survivors must resort to the unthinkable to stay alive. Their incredible tale ultimately inspires author Herman Melville to write Moby-Dick.

Album of the week

Another One, by Mac Demarco Mac DeMarcoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mini-LP, which features some of his prettiest material to date, is like a novella, or a made-for-TV movieâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; something to chew on while we wait for the next major project. If you like DeMarco, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll like Another One. It riffs on his established formula: the same rinky-dink guitar tone, funky basslines and air-tight percussion. There are four slow songs and three songs that are a little less slow but still plenty relaxed, all of them filled with little details to catch your ear.

Game of the week

Erin Cabs

Kirby: Planet Robobot

Erin Cabs is Carlowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only Freephone Taxi Company. They provide a 24 hour, 7 days a week taxi service around Carlow and beyond. There are a range of taxis available from four-seater saloons to eight-seater wheelchair accessible vehicles. They are also able to provide baby seats. If you are travelling to or from the airport, ferry ports, sightseeing, doctors or hospital visits, Erin Cabs will provide a good reliable service.

Kirby: Planet Robobot is another installment in the long-running Kirby series.

Another peaceful day in Dream Land has been interrupted yet again by the invasion of the Haltmann Works Company, an army of technologically advanced aliens that seek to mechanize Kirbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. As usual, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to our heroic pink puffball to set things right. Gameplay remains similar to previous installments, with the addition of Robobot Armor which Kirby can use to tear through obstacles and enemies.

Book of the week

So youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been Publicly Shamed, by Jon Ronson An exploration of one of our worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most underappreciated forces: shame. Jon Ronson has met a number of recipients of high-profile public shamings. People who made a bad joke on social media or made a mistake at work. The next thing they know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being torn apart and demonized by an angry mob.This book is full of eye-opening truths about the war on human flaws and the part we all play in it.

Movie of the week

Neighbours 2: Sorority Rising Life is good for Mac Radner (Seth Rogen) and pregnant wife Kelly (Rose Byrne) until the unruly sisters of Kappa Nu move in next door. As the loud parties threaten the sale of their home, the couple turn to ex-neighbor and one-time enemy Teddy Sanders (Zac Efron) for help. Now united with the former college student, the trio devise schemes to get the sorority off the block. But these young women refuse to go down without a fight

App of the week

Inks Bafta award-winning State of Play have created a new game that combines paintball with pinball. The game appears as a pinball machine and plays out in the same way â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you keep the pinball in play with the flippers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one key difference.

Every time the pinball hits a pad in the game board it creates an explosion of colour that blends across the screen like a painting.

The game is out exclusively on iOS.

Day trip l Skellig Michael is out of this world A LONG time ago, before Skellig Michael welcomed Star Wars, dedicated monks made this remote island their sanctuary Star Wars: The Force Awakens sent the global boxoffice into hyperdrive after the cast and crew jetted into a little town called Portmagee, County Kerry, to capture some stunning footage at the dream ďŹ lming location of Skellig Michael - a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Rising from the Atlantic, one of the highlights of Irelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wild Atlantic Way, Skellig Michael has attracted both admirers and those seeking solitude for centuries. It was on

this jagged rock that 6th century monks carved hundreds of stone steps to the summit, where they established an isolated monastery.

Skellig Michael â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and neighbouring Little Skellig â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have featured in ancient Irish legends and were even visited

by Vikings. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until 2014 that these remote peaks welcomed their strangest visitor yetâ&#x20AC;Ś one of the biggest movie-making phenomena in history.

If you fancy chanelling a bit of the force on Irelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wild Atlantic Way, the Skelling Ring Drive makes a great detour off the Ring of Kerry.

The Ring of Kerry traces the coastline of the Iveragh Peninsula. The combination of ocean, islands, mountains, towns and villages makes it a diverse journey of discovery.

Pay a visit to the Kerry Bog Village Museum, visit the Kells Bay Gardens, and stop at the Old Barracks Heritage Centre in Cahersiveen.

From Portmagee, travel by boat or drive across Valentia Bridge to Valentia Island.

Visit the Skellig Experience Visitor Centre, which features exhibitions on the unique wildlife and archaeology of the Skellig Islands. Continue on to the Signature Point Skellig

View, at the southern tip of Valentia Island, for an enjoyable two-kilometre stroll and stunning cliff-top views of Skellig Michael, the Blasket Islands and Dingle Peninsula.

Continue on to the Blue Flag beach in Ballinskelligs, a Gaeltacht village, then stroll through picturesque Waterville.

Travel to Derrynane House, ancestral home of historic statesman Daniel Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell.

Carry on to Staigue Fort at Castlecove, and the Sculpture Park and Garden of the Senses in Sneem. Round the trip off with a visit to the heritage town of Kenmare. See www.skelligexperience.com for more details

Optimist, Pessimist & Realist Discuss Carlow’s Championship Clash!

Leinster Senior Football Championship First Round Louth 2-24, Carlow 3-11

The optimist will point to the fact that Carlow trailed just 0-17 to 2-9 with 14 minutes to go and claim the final scoreline does not do brave Carlow justice. The pessimist will point out that it would have been a 13 point loss but for a late consolation goal from a penalty that shouldn’t have been awarded and anyway Carlow are just not up to it and were bet before their bus crossed Graigue bridge!

The realist? Well, this particular realist, being a lapsed optimist and loth to join the ever increasing hordes of pessimists would suggest it was just about par for the course, a double figure defeat which, alas, has been a fairly constant companion in Carlow’s championship campaigns over the last decade, this Carlow’s 11th 10+ setback since 2007 and our seventh in a row (see chart). Some of those double figures defeats were like last Saturday in Pokrtlaoise, a late collapse painting a bad picture, on other occasions a flurry of Carlow scores in ‘rubbish time’ saves us from an even greater humiliation.

This realist, too, though has been arguing for over a decade now that the Championship, the Senior Championship, is not the ultimate test of Carlow’s status.

No, I am not talking about going back Junior nor, for the case of this argument, am I advocating a proper ‘B’ championship but, like a broken gramophone record (there’s a hint of how far back I go!) I return to the firm belief that it is far far more important for the red, yellow and green footballers to make incremental gains in the National Football League, starting with being in contention to finish in the top two with a couple of rounds to go, progress to playing in a Division 4 final in Croke Park, lifting football silverware in GAA headquarters for the first time ever (the 1944 Leinster final was played in Athy, and anyway there was no cup!)

To be fair to current manager Turlough O’Brien he did target the league as a more realistic goal and while this season’s away results were positive, winning on the road against London, Wicklow and Leitrim, inconsistent form at home, particularly against eventual finalists Louth (Div 4 champions) and Antrim scuppered hopes of a promotion and a Croke Park appearance. While Carlow now have a qualifier game to play in over a month’s time it is next February that matters and if the sizeable Carlow contingent who

assembled in O’Moore Park on Saturday evening - most for their ‘annual outing’ - could alter their mindset a tad and turn out to support their county in the league maybe it might provide the bounce required to start climbing the ladder?

As to the 2016 Provincial performance, an early Sean Gannon point provided a fine start, Carlow then fell 0-5 to 0-1 in arrears, got to half-time 0-11 to 0-6 down, a brace of goals, one soft, one a superb piece of individualism brought us a long way to that 0-17 to 2-9 scenario mentioned in the first paragraph.

From there to the finish Louth’s seemingly superior fitness and greater all round balance saw the Wee County race clear and book a quarter-final meeting with neighbours Meath and revive memories of their controversial Leinster final defeat by the Royals in 2010.

For the record we bring you our own annual ‘how they played’ championship run-down …

ROBBIE MOLLOY: Brought off a a couple of great saves, his second half stop one of the highlights of the evening, the Rathvilly ‘keepers kick-outs were alright too.

BENNY KAVANAGH: Enjoyed a very good first half did the Éire

Óg defender, logged a lot of running both chasing down attackers and instigating raids.

DANIEL ST LEDGER: A hard day at the office for the former Kildavin-Clonegal clubman, came up against a seriously pacy opponent who knew where the posts were.

KIERAN NOLAN: Another hard working defender who came up against a tricky opponent and took the Kilbride corner-back’s full concentration to curtail the damage.

HUGHIE GAHAN: Probably Carlow’s best performer of the evening, the Old Leighlin speedster adopted an attacking wingback role and played it well, winning a good deal of possession, used it well, carried and delivered confidently.

JOHN MURPHY: The Grange man, who is now the ‘veteran’ of the side, first having played SFC in 2008, was a solid figure as anchor of the Carlow rearguard , kicked an excellent point before making way for Graham Power’s fresh legs with 11 minutes to go.

GARY KELLY: Joining the ranks of men who have played senior championship for Carlow in both hurling and football the Mount Leinster Rangers wing back tracked and chased with commendable zeal.

SEAN GANNON: Started well. opened the scoring with a rousing early point, the Éire Óg mid-fielder remained prominent throughout the first half due to his industriousness, faded a little on the change-over.

BRENDAN MURPHY: Kicked a monstrous first half point, a great score, which led to a few over-ambitious attempts at a repeat, the Rathvilly mid-fielder was his usual self for most of the trip.

DARREN LUNNEY: A baptism of fire for the Ballinabranna teenager, could not be faulted on the count of effort and while the first to be called ashore when making way for Brian Murphy in the 49th minute is definitely one for the future.

DARRAGH O’BRIEN: A superb individual goal, a searing 30m solo-run through the heart of the Louth defence climaxed with a stinging low shot from the 20m line, was the highlingj of the Éire Óg raiders outing.

ALAN KELLY: Wasn’t on a lot of ball but what ball he did get the Rathvilly raider tried to make intelligent use of it, PAUL BRODERICK: Struck the late penalty well, kicked a point from a free early on but the Year 2007 2008 2009 2009 2010 2010 2011 2011 2011 2012 2012 2012 2013 2013 2014 2014 2014 2015 2015 2016

Tinryland kicker missed a few too and like his full forward colleagues was starved of possession for long periods.

DARAGH FOLEY: Clocked up a fistful of points from well judged frees, worked hard, foraged way back the field and did well on limited possession, the Kilbride No 14, the team captain, fouled for the penalty CHRIS BLAKE: His opportunism saw the Éire Óg corner-forward avail of a Louth defensive error to touch the ball to the net after the ‘keeper mishandled a Daragh Foley delivery.

BRIAN MURPHY: The experienced Rathvilly campaigner came on in attack for the closing 20 minutes and did ok but it was at a time a lot of the play was down the other end.

GRAHAM POWER: The O’Hanrahan’s stalwart was busy during his 11 minutes plus action, defending with his usual gusto.

DONAL SMITHERS: Championship debut but confined to ‘injury time’, the Naomh Eoin youth might well start in the qualifiers.

ED FINNEGAN: Rathvilly man only got on to the field with the game in injury time

UNQUENCHABLE SPIRIT AND TRUST IN THE SYSTEM

Three games in eight days against teams rated higher than them in the pecking order, three games in eight days against teams rated higher than them on the pecking order who had been beaten by Carlow, a junior team, earlier in the year and these Intermediate teams were now determined to put the record straight, the old order restoreth!

First up for these Carlow girls Laois in the Fenagh Training Centre, a goal down, time up, they find the resolve to quarry out a green flag, draw, extratime, extra-time during which their battling qualities are again called on, the sides still tied when the final final whistle sounds.

A mid-week replay in Camross, three girls doing third level exams that morning, one of their star players nursing an injury, it’s a tough ask. In a complete role reversal from the drawn game it’s Carlow who are clinging on the a goal lead at the death, it’s

Laois who find the resolve to net.

Extra-time again …

No, wait, Carlow are on the attack … point, a great win!

No rest for the wicked (just a turn of phrase girls, we know ye are all walking Saints!) , the semifinal is fixed for Thomastown the following Sunday, taking on Kilkenny on Kilkenny soil, just like earlier in the year when the Carlow went to Piltown in the league … and won!

But this was Championship and with the sun shining and the ground hard, this was Summer hurling, this was when the black and amber come alive and with many of there second team harbouring ambitions of been called up to the senior squad, hot contenders for All-Ireland honours, it was certain Kilkenny would be well primed and determined.

Carlow got off to a great start or, as one shrewd observer put it, “too good of a start”, a well crafted goal inside 20 seconds,

another goal shortly after, a point sandwiched in between, 2-1 to no score up, barely five minutes on the clock, this was new ground!

Maybe the concentrations levels dropped or maybe just Kilkenny upped their game, whatever the reason, the home side were back level way to quick!

And once the Kittens went ahead, even the most optimistic Carlow supporter was worried.

“Their fitness will stand to them, they have trained fierce hard” consoled one, “these girls never give up” stated another and aware of the veracity of both statements we lived in hope ….

Four points down, less than 10 minutes to go, we nodded the head in agreement again when we heard “the girls need a goal”. But they didn’t! Doing onto Kilkenny what Kilkenny camán wielders down the century have done on to others, Carlow instead opted for the points trail, ‘death by a thousand cuts’ as

Con Houlihan used to call it, six white flags in-a-row, the first four to level, the fifth to lead, the sixth to leave us holding that most precarious lead of all in ‘lost time’ … two points.

Now Kilkenny had to go low, but now they were finding it hard to get up the field, Carlow were in the ascendancy and what a pleasant end to a pleasant day was the sound of the final whistle.

As others went to congratulate the girls we went across the field to take a photograph of the electronic scoreboard before they pulled the plug. 2-11 to 3-6, how sweet is that!

Mid-week we had written “these girls have unquenchable spirit and are reaping the rewards of hard work on the training field and honest effort in everything they do”. Never was that unquenchable spirit more in evidence than in the closing minutes picturesque Grennan on Sunday afternoon, that comeback took guts but, as former Carlow camogie star Mary Smyth, pure joy on her face, added “yes, it took spirit, yes it took huge fitness levels but it also took trust, those girls have trust in the system put in place by the management, that trust saw them stick to the game-plan when maybe under pressure they could have gone away from it …. ” And let’s not forget the girls skill set either, excellent first touch, crisp striking, astute passing and, of course the flair and finesse which makes the game a joy to watch, a outstanding case in point when Leinster Senior Gael Linn star Kate Nolan, on her knees, roll lifted a ball and then gave a one-handed stick pass to a colleague … class!

Well done girls, well done too to Mark Brennan and his management team, these are special, special days for Carlow camogie.

PADRAIG AMOND COMPLETES RARE DOUBLE “What a day today was. Best feeling I have ever had in football.” So wrote Padraig Amond on his Facebook post last Sunday and isn’t the accompanying photo with girlfriend Caoimhe Whelan a real ‘Happiness is … ‘ snap Grimsby, for whom Ballinabranna, Co Carlow man Amond scored 35 goals this season, won the Conference play-off and in Wemley too as Padraig completed the rare double of having played in both Croke Park and Wembley!

CRICKET SPECIAL - St Mary’s Academy Create Cricket History

History makes with bats and helmets

History makers outside Academy

Bowling and Batting

Last Wednesday May 11th a number of young sportsmen left their classes in Carlow CBS and, like thousands of boys before them down the decades, gathered at the front gate, waited for ‘the bus’ …

This was different though, very different … for the first time ever 12 young men gathered with their cricket bats and helmets and pads! These were the first students to travel together as a cricket team from CBS and were preparing for a trip to play King’s Hospital in Dublin.

This is a good news story, and shows that diversity is welcome and that students interests are facilitated and indeed challenged in The Academy which is well known for its GAA tradition. The first cricket team was the brainchild of local youth worker and well known sportsman, Jimmy Dooley who works with the Carlow Regional Youth Services who in conjunction with the school brought the students together and created this historic team.

Travelling in anticipation and confidence the boys set off and arrived at Kings Hospital and were welcomed by Carlowman Dereck Tucker who has been teaching in King’s Hospital for over 20 years. Indeed without the assistance of Dereck the event would not have happened.

Dereck welcomed the students and had organised a team with their coaches to play the visiting CBS.

Jimmy Dooley with Derek Tucker

Winning the toss, the CBS opted to bowl and the first ball was thrown and so a very nice match began. Like many school events, time is a big factor and a 15 over game began. The CBS bowlers saw their opponents mount a respectable total of 75 runs before their batsmen took to the pitch.

As the rain began to fall the CBS batsmen slowly but assuredly added runs with the odd boundary lifting their spirits.

When captain Sofiat Alam hit a 6 and followed with 2 boundaries victory went to the visiting CBS in just 13 overs. As is the case in other sports both teams immediately shook hands and stood together for the photograph after CBS captain Sofiat Alam presented his counterpart with a beautiful cricket ball as a momento of the occasion. Smiles were the order of the day as the CBS team prepared for the trip home.

Great thanks is due to Jimmy Dooley who has been the fulcrum around whom the Carlow Cricket Club has been reformed and where so many young and not so young players can play the sport that they love. Thanks also to Mr Leo Hogan who as Principal of St Mary’s Academy, CBS granted permission and encouraged the team to participate in the special event. Jimmy Byrne drove the bus and teacher Pat Ahern represented the school on the trip.

A great day was had by all , and the best team won!
