Richard’s research puts him top of the world A STUDENT at the IT Carlow has won the world’s largest agri-science competition - the Alltech Young Scientist Graduate Award.

Richard Lally has secured a $10,000 prize and a two-year fully funded postdoctoral contract with global biotechnology company Alltech.

The competition took place at the Alltech Ideas Conference in Kentucky.

Earlier this year, Richard beat hundreds of other postgraduate students to become Regional Winner for Europe

and Africa. Richard’s work investigated growth promotion in plants and could be important for use in agriculture.

He said he was “thrilled� just to make it to the US, following his regional win and this outright win was “just incredible�. “It’s a remarkable achievement for our research group. I’m so delighted and thrilled,� he said.

The winning entry, ‘Plant growth promoting Pseudomonads, their colo-

nisation dynamics and agricultural potential’, is based on research Richard carried out under the supervision of IT Carlow’s David Ryan, David Dowling, Kieran Germaine, Andrew Lloyd and ThomaĂŠ Kakouli-Duarte. “I congratulate Richard and must also say ‘well done’ to Dr David Ryan, Richard’s supervisor, who encouraged him to enter this competition, the outcome of which will now provide such excellent prospects for him,â€? said Dr Kakouli-Duarte.

DVD of the week

SA Moore Toyota

Creed

Moores Garage was founder by brothers Charles and Samuel Moore in Carlow in 1947. In February 2007 they moved to the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien Road, into a state-of-the-art premises and were appointed the Toyota Franchise in 2013. As a family run business, their after-sales and workshop facilities are always kept to the highest standards. They are proud to be the sole representative for the Toyota brand in Carlow town and county. With a full range of Toyotas available for demonstration, Moores has something for everyone. Visit www.moores.ie for more.

Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan) never knew his famous father, boxing champion Apollo Creed, who died before Adonis was born. However, boxing is in his blood, so he seeks out Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) and asks the retired champ to be his trainer. Rocky sees much of Apollo in Adonis, and agrees to mentor him, even as he battles an opponent deadlier than any in the ring. With Rockyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help, Adonis soon gets a title shot, but whether he has the true heart of a fighter remains to be seen

Graft and craft fashions fantastic victory Leinster U-21 Hurling Championship Quarter-final Carlow 1-17, Laois 1-15

Cracking match in Netwatch Cullen Park last Wednesday as on the green, green grass of home our coming of age hurlers fashioned a fabulous victory by dent of a perfect combination of graft and craft.

Managed by Carlow legend Johnny Nevin these U-21’s were up against a Laois team who contested the Leinster minor final three years ago, rattled Galway in the All-Ireland quarter-final that year, a Laois team who were, rightly, targeting another Provincial final appearance.

But from the get-go Carlow showed they too were intent on advancing and flew into an early lead before Laois hit the front, 0-12 to 0-9 up at the the break, still two points to the good with four minutes to go ...

From the puck-out after the converted free that put the visitors two-up goalkeeper Jack Barron went long and found James Doyle, a man in inspirational form, a man who gave one of the finest ever individual displays produced by a Carlow under-age player, and a man who was to cut through to plant a left hand shot in the scoreboard end rigging!

While we pick out James for special mention this was a pow-

erful team performance, powerful, yes indeed Carlow’s hurling flag continues to fly, next up a home semi-final v Offaly - easy first round winners over Kildare - on Wednesday, June 22.

On the far side of the draw Westmeath caused a major shock by beating Kilkenny in Mullingar and the giant-killing Midlanders will play the winners of the Wexford v Dublin - who meet on Wednesday evening in Wexford - in the second semifinal. What odds a Carlow v Westmeath final?! What a victory that would be for the wannabee hurling counties.

Carlow, remember, beat Laois last year too, rattled Kilkenny in the semi-final, indeed the Scallionaters contested the semi-finals in 2010, ’12 and ’13 as well, 4 and 6 point defeats to Wexford and a one point defeat

by Laois preventing the red, yellow and green advancing to a first ever U-21 final. Maybe we can go one step further in 2016 …

First, though, let’s salute the men who fashioned last Wednesday’s victory …

JACK BARRON: Two superb reflex saves - the first a one-onone in the opening half, the second an acrobatic dive to his right to get his outstretched stick to a

deflection of line-ball - saw the Erin’s Own clubman play a huge role in securing victory, excellent puck-outs too.

PADRAIG COUGHLAN: A sticky defender who was involved in a couple of hectic battles for ruck-ball, battles the Naomh Bríd often won.

GER COADY: Exuded confidence on the edge of the square, a commanding figure who won his fair share of possession and cleared his lines in flamboyant style which the St Mullins No 3 also tackled and harried to effect.

MICHAEL MALONE: Coming

back from an injury that shortcircuited his senior inter-county season the Mount Leinster Ranger defender was his usual calm self, one sortie up the side-line ending with a rousing clearance.

ADAM DUNNE: Battled hard, another who relished challenging for ruck-ball, the Naomh Bríd defender also hassled and harried to effect.

SEANIE WHELAN: His getup-and-go attitude, his facility to win possession, his combination of long relieving clearances with short stick-passes, his general industriousness made the Ballinkillen pivot one of the stars of the show.

EOIN REDMOND: Stormed upfield in the opening half to drift over an inspirational point, otherwise the Naomh Eoin stalwart was his usual steady, hard working self, not easily passed.

AARON AMOND: Alas his evening ended with a suspected broken collar bone and this on a night a relation of his went to the chapel but while on the field the Naomh Bríd clubman with the double A name gave it his all.

KEVIN McDONALD: His unerring marksmanship from placed balls was absolutely crucial - Mac nailed 8 frees, added another from play - but the Mount Leinster star also contributed handsomely in general play, winning possession and using it with a stylish flourish.

CONOR FOLEY: He may not have scored but the Naomh Eoin raider put in a lot of work and served as an unselfish play-maker while also tackling strongly thereby preventing easy clearances.

SEAN BRENDAN: Most selectors, even in these days of more fluid formations, will reserve the No 11 jersey for a worker and by God did Sean Brennan work, he beavered, beavered, beavered all evening, got on ball, ran with ball, broke ball and even had time to shoot a point, the Ballinkillen tearaway continued to carry the fight when switched in full-forward.

JAMES DOYLE: The winning goal in itself, inspired individualism, would have ensured his name was associated with this victory. The fact that that green flag had been preceded by four glorious points, all of the highest quality, would ensure him of man of the match status. But, both as a first half wing forward and second half centre-fielder the St Mullins stickman was on so much ball his has to rank as one of the greatest ever underage performances by a Carlow hurler.

LIAM GALWAY: The speedy Erin’s Own attacker was another willing worker, chased down defenders when not in possession and when he got the ball himself made intelligent use of it including a lovely point.

JAMES KELLY: Involved in an altercation early on that resulted in a yellow card the Mount Leinster Rangers clubman eventually made way for TED JOYCE: Picked up a good bit of possession and put it to good use did the Mount Leinster Ranger raider, a few trademark darting runs and clever passing a feature.

OWEN ROBERTS: Got stuck in straight away upon his early second half introduction and landed an uplifting equaliser.

JAMIE WHELAN: Brought fresh legs to the Carlow attack early in the second half and his liveliness was a great asset.

JOHN MURPHY: Only on for the closing seven minutes a jostling contest awaiting a lineball as his first act signalled his intent. also Dean Grennan (MLR), Liam Cummins (Erin’s Own), Daragh O’Neill (Ballinkillen), Andrew Casey (Erin’s Own), Kevin Hosey (Naomh Eoin), Conor McLean (Naomh Eoin).

Mention to for Chris Nolan, who though he played U-21 last year, is, by a new rule, too young to play in the grade this year!

Manager: Johnny Nevin (Naomh Brid), Selectors: Tommy Corcoran (Setanta), Robbie Foley (Naomh Eoin).

And let’s not forget ‘runner’ Jack Kavanagh, tireless!

Well done to the Bagenalstown brigade who beat Bray Emmets of Wicklow 2-18 to 0-12 in the Leinster League Div ? Hurling final in Abbotstown on Saturday

HILL OF TARA OR FOOTHILLS OF MOUNT LEINSTER

Will the Leinster Intermediate Camogie Cup rest in the foothills of Mount Leinster or on the Hill of Tara?

Meath captain Aoife Maguire and Carlow joint captains Teresa Meaney and Marian Doyle at the recent Captains Call in Abbotstown ahead of Sunday’s final which takes place in Aughrim GAA Grounds, throw-in 2.30, middle part of a triple-decker, preceded by Junior

final, followed by senior decider.

Carlow ousted Laois (after a replay) and Kilkenny to reach the final and now renew rivalry with Meath who beat Carlow in the National League Division 2 final, the Royal County en route to the title and a place in the top tier.

Meath will fancy their chances of franking the form but rule nothing out wit these determined Carlow girls …

Sun shines on Rás Ceatharlach

Carlow’s John O’Shea and Fergal Kennedy having completed their own Rás. .

By John Walsh While Eddie Dunbar was celebrating his magnificent (Stage 7) win in this year An Post Rás in Blessington, Co Wicklow on Saturday. The winner of the Rás Ceatherlach John Brady (Smartlamp), a former 7-Eleven pro racer was also celebrating after he out sprinted the rest of the field in what was a very competitive and entertaining race in Carlow.

Over 200 bike riders assembled at Tougher’s on the Dublin Road on Saturday morning last. The sun blasted down on the riders as they prepared to compete in this year’s Rás Ceatherlach. The Carlow Lawlor O’Shea sponsored team were also ready to go. Con Scully, U12, Robert Keane and Ciaran Townsend U16, were Carlow’s representatives in the youth races and they yet again per-

formed very well in each of their categories, well done boys, keep up the good work! John O’Shea, Alan Galavan, Paddy Hutton, Andrew McCabe and Fergal Kennedy, also put in some strong performances in their races but unfortunately finished outside the prizes on this occasion.

The race was held on a fairly lumpy 25kms circuit that took the racers from ‘Tommy Tougher’s’ across the new R726 to the Hacketstown Road and on to Killerig Cross, then the riders headed for Castledermot and on to the finish at Tougher’s again. The A2 race got off to a frantic start as usual, the attacks were coming from all quarters, the boys were rearing to go, the sun was shining and the race was on. On the second of four lap’s six riders slipped up the road and quickly opened a gap of 25 seconds back to the main

field, these riders worked really hard together and widened the gap to 40 seconds at one stage.

With just over 25kms to go, the main bunch woke up and decided to work to close down the breakaway group. As the breakaway group of six riders approached Castledermot for the last time, tragedy struck when a car driven by an impatient driver took two riders from the breakaway down, at this stage the bunch were only seconds in arrears. As the two injured riders were checking themselves over for injuries sustained, the main bunch passed and closed down the remaining four riders of the breakaway group. With just 3kms to go Diarmuid Kavanagh

(Meath Dunboyne DID), having been part of the six man breakaway group earlier in the race put in another big effort and went off the front of the bunch again, unfortunately Diarmuid was caught in the last few metres before he crossed the finish line, Diarmuid hails from co Wicklow and now rides with DlD Dunboyne. The winner of the A2 main event for a second time and first man over the line was John Brady (Smartlamp) second position went to John McDonald (Waterford CC), the third man over the line was Ollie Kelly (Longford CC). Well done to all participants who travelled far and wide to support what turned out to be a great days racing.

Saying hello to her toe!

Little piece of family history last Sunday, the great great grandaughter of one of the founding members of Ă&#x2030;ire Ă&#x201C;g Bill Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien took to the ďŹ eld for the very ďŹ rst time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Say hello to your toeâ&#x20AC;?

Oh and the Graigue socks are a compromise!! {Photo and caption courtesy of Dermot Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien

Developing Psychological Focus in children is one of the main coaching tasks. Generally young children (4, 5, 6 & 7) have a high level of confidence and this is a great time for them to learn the fundamentals of sport like running, jumping, throwing and catching. At this age they are willing to have a go at anything that is fun. They love movement and love to play.

From 8 or 9 onwards however, children tend to compare themselves to their peers and if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like what they see, their confidence can start to take a hit. Our job as coaches is to develop them psychologically through the medium of the 5 Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

1. Competence 2. Confidence 3. Concentration 4. Composure 5. Commitment In order to fully understand how to develop the 5 Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s we must go back to the definition of what a coach is. A coach is a person who builds competencies by assisting and challenging players and self to achieve their full potential. Finding the correct balance of when to assist and when to challenge is a key element when developing psychological focus.

Competence is the ability to do

Carlow supporters prepare for ďŹ nal! â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told yer man with the camera â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;my ball!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, I know, you are so cool, awesome even!

Blues Kingdom bound

Some of the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hanrahanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U-14 squad who participated in the bucket collection last weekend to raise funds to travel to the Kingdom of Kerry for the National Feile Peil na nOg.

something and is a fundamental human need. It is the first step in Psychological Focus.

Incompetence leads to failure and drop out. Coaches, by their actions and words, can create an environment of competence or incompetence. Competence can be created by developing activities and games that every child can play. This often involves using modified equipment such as soft footballs, bean bags and short hurleys, playing small sided games where children get more action, matching children in fair and even groups and providing positive feedback. Every child should gain competence at different skills every time they are coached. When coaches are developing competence in children they are assisting more and challenging less.

Confidence comes as a result of gaining competence. It is a self-reliance and self-trust.

Without confidence players have fear and anxiety and it is not possible to learn when experiencing those negative emotions. As players become more skilled, their confidence grows and they are more likely to practice when they are successful.

When they have confidence they are then able for a greater challenge. Coaches should choose a challenge that players find difficult but will accomplish after some coaching.

Initially, when they experience failure, the coaches should be

able to provide a safety net by assisting the child with areas of difficulty. Players then learn Concentration which helps them to focus their attention on one or two key points that lead to success. Good coaches are able to inform children on what area they must concentrate. It might be that the need to keep their eye on the ball or to relax their hands. Once the child experiences success at the higher challenge they will have developed a greater degree of competence and thus more confidence.

Composure is what happens when a player performs a skill automatically in a competition or a game. It requires a high level of competence and confidence. It may not require a high level of concentration as the player has confidence in their ability to perform the skill.

Commitment is what occurs as a result of going through the process of competence, confidence, concentration and composure. The process of improving with practice and the knowledge that you can continuously improve is what drives most top players to keep playing. It results in wonderful feelings of intrinsic motivation.

Intrinsic motivation occurs when a person does something because of satisfaction gained from within.

Continuously keeping children in the process of the 5 Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is an excellent model
