With a multi-award winning programme which teaches vital water confidence and safety skills from birth, the overall aim is to teach parents to teach their baby how to swim.

Elaine & George Dunne, who brought Water Babies classes to Kilkenny and the South East three years ago teach weekly classes to babies (under 12 months) and toddlers (1-3 years). Water Babies classes take place in St Patrickss Centre, Kells Road (Saturdays & Tuesdays from 29 August) and Thee Ormond Hotel (Wednesday morn-ings from 2 September).

Water Babies will be holding FREE taster classes in Kilkenny on Wednesday, 26th August in The Ormond Hotel. The free Water Babies lesson gives parents an opportunity to experience what baby swimming with Water Babies is really like and show that it is an amazing way to spend a half hour with your baby. To a reserve a place for your baby at a FREE Water Babies Taster class, please call Elaine and her lovely team on 051-397444.

Elaine Dunne said “Water Babies is such magical experience for babies. They absolutely love the sensation of floating in warm water. The repetitive movements of splash bouncing and splashing provide a great stimulation for t their sense of motion and balance.”

T The Water Babies programme, w which is designed to make the most of babies’ natural affinity with water, te teaches confidence and safety, using sp specialist techniques that see many sw swimming short distances from as yo young as 30 months. Baby swimmin is an entirely safe and gentle ming act activity which helps parents bond wit their baby while giving them a with lifet lifetime’s water confidence and safety skil Swimming from birth stimulates skills. the brain and develops muscles in a saf relaxed way and water is a familsafe, iar environment that babies love.

Th Water Babies swimming course The is very different to traditional swimm ming lessons. Because Water Babies o only use warm water pools (30° or a above) babies can join classes from immuni birth and immunisations are not required or necessary in order to start classes. And while the emphasis is on having fun, the course is carefully structured, with progressive lesson plans for each week.

The Watergarden CafĂŠ

THE Watergarden CafĂŠ in Thomastown is a great community project that provides meaningful work for local adults with special needs.

The cafĂŠ serves light lunches, salads, soups and home baked cakes in a relaxed and peaceful environment where the ethos is firmly placed on using organic and local ingredients where possible. After your meal or snack take a stroll through the beautiful walled and stream side gardens, then browse the garden shop and art gallery.

The Watergarden CafĂŠ was established by Camphill Communities of Ireland in 1993 to provide day facilities for people of all abilities.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is a non-residential centre for adults with special needs. Along with the cafe, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also

a garden centre, gardens and art gallery which are also open to the public. These different areas provide a diversity of challenges and opportunities.

The beautiful garden offers a therapeutic backdrop to the workplace of The Watergarden and gives everyone an experience of the changing seasons. The principal impulses of The Watergarden are to provide meaningful work for adults with special needs and to bring the Camphill ethos into the wider community.

They also provide differing levels of homebased support to some of those working in The Watergarden and living independently in the town. This allows some people to move out of their parental home to live independently or semi-independently for the first time.

F YOU'RE thinking of buying a Focus-sized family hatch, then the chances are that you're not thinking of buying a Toyota Auris. If what you want is an affordable, economical, responsive petrol engine beneath the bonnet though, this Japanese contender now has a claim to make on your affections in this form of the 1.2T model we look at here.

Background Toyota's Auris has never quite replicated the sales success of its Corolla predecessor, even in more dynamic-looking second generation guise. The Japanese brand keeps trying though and in recent times, has substantially revised this MK2 model, adding into the range the perky little 1.2-litre petrol turbo engine we're going to look at here.

Ride and handling improvements are also welcome, as are equipment upgrades and a smarter cabin.

Ultimately though, what's important about this 1.2T derivative is that it now gives you a really good reason to buy an Auris that doesn't have either a diesel or a hybrid engine beneath the bonnet.

Time to check it out....

Driving Experience The 1.2 Turbo engine on offer here may be small in capacity but it makes up for this with typical turbo torque that develops some very reasonable numbers for such

a small motor. Compare it with, say, a rival 1.2 TSI Volkswagen Golf and you'll be blessed with significantly more acceleration and pulling power. Compared to other direct rivals, the Auris is very similar in terms of performance. The rest to 62mph sprint takes 10.1 en route to 124mph.

One of the engineering benefits of using a small, turbocharged unit is the weight loss over the front axle.

Though hardly sporty, the 1.2T Auris feels lighter at the front compared to other similarly powered models, making it a little more fun to corner in, though body roll is a little excessive to be truly fun.

In revised MK2 model guise, the Auris' suspension has been revised. Lesser models get a simple torsion bar set-up, but pokier variants like this 1.2T feature a more sophisticated double wishbone system.

Toyota has also reduced noise levels in the cabin and re-tuned the electric power steering to further build steering weight as vehicle speed rises, giving better feedback between 35 and 50mph.

Design and Build Toyota really gave the Auris a bit of attitude with the Mk2 car that appeared in 2012 and this improved version builds on that by featuring the lower and broader frontal treatment now common to many of the company's latest

products. There's a splash more chrome on the grille, plus LED headlamp clusters which include LED daytime running lights. In profile the revised front and rear styling generates longer overhangs, while the rear end features a sleeker lower bumper assembly and LED rear lights.

The cabin benefits from better quality materials and a lower profile dashboard, with cleaner-looking dials and a more consistent use of grains, illumination and typefaces across the fascia.

There's a twin-clock binnacle with a 4.2-inch colour TFT multi-information screen.

Many details, such as the air vents, doorhandles and gear lever surround, have been redesigned to give a crisper, high-quality appearance.

There's also a Touring Sports estate version on offer if you need a bit more hauling space.

Cost of Ownership By using this small capacity, turbocharged engine, Toyota has made this car very competitive if specified correctly. The engine provides just enough power and torque in the right place not be slow and uses very little fuel in the process. Some rivals offer a little more power but for the price, the Auris 1.2T looks attractive.

Road tax is not expensive thanks to the 1.2T only producing 112g/km and, with

a 58.9mpg combined cycle showing, trips to the petrol station should be relatively few and far between. It’s also worth pointing out that the 1.2T is also far more likely to achieve its claimed fuel figures than the lesser 1.33-litre petrol variant as its engine gives a lot of the power very low down. The feebler model has to be revved harder for the same effect, which of course is detrimental to fuel economy. Insurance should be fairly cheap too, with the grouping being 14-15 depending on trim.

Summary Overall, the Auris 1.2T looks a very reasonable buy. You get a perky engine and a decent balance of performance economy. True, the prices being asked represent quite a jump up from those of the base 1.33-litre petrol model but compare with rivals and this Toyota’s value proposition seems reasonably sound. The brand’s challenge is really to get people behind the wheel of this car. If they can manage to do that, then the smarter cabin and responsive driving manners are likely to impress.

You can only wonder at what might have happened if, back in 2012, the second generation Auris had been launched with this engine as part of its range repertoire. Now that Toyota dealers have it though, this car’s buying proposition has been considerably improved.

City Breaks: Male Patryk Kosmider / Shutter stock.com

Discover the delights of Dubai D

UBAI, a land of opulence, wealth and mind-defying architecture that will never fail to impress.

Dubai is one of the world’s most exciting destinations; a glittering city that guarantees fun, sun and endless tax-free shopping. In this ever-changing emirate, spectacular and innovative developments grace endless golden beaches and towering commercial centres, all the while contrasting starkly against a silent desert interior.

HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS Renowned for wealth and splendour, Dubai offers an endless list of activities to occupy you on your stay in this beautiful

city. Famous structures such as the tallest building in the world; the Burj Khalifa, the world-class Burj al Arab hotel and the manmade Palm Jumeirah Island, have become the epitome of Dubai’s extravagant culture.

The oldest part of the city is centred around the Dubai Creek, with souks vending an array of spices and textiles, mosques and an authentic regional architecture in the Deira and Bur Dubai districts. Here, you can make your way from one side of the creek to another on a quaint water taxi, also known as an abra.

The city’s aorta is Sheikh Zayed Road, a massive multi-lane highway that links the Creek to Jumeirah and Jebel Ali as well as

all the main shopping malls. Although most of Jumeirah beach is occupied by upscale hotels, there are certain parts that are open to the public (entrance fee applies) and offers access to a spacious recreational park, hemmed by a vast stretch of open sand with the warm, albeit sometimes choppy waters of the Arabian Gulf.

BEST TIME TO VISIT The United Arab Emirates are warm all year round, but the best time to visit is from November to March when the average maximum temperature is 25°C. May to September are the hottest months, when temperatures often exceed 40°C.

MALE, the island capital of the Republic of Maldives, is a wonderful tourist destination and a paradise for adventures and sports lovers.

The main attractions in Male include the Friday Mosque, Sultan Park, National Museum and Independence Square. The Friday Mosque, built in the 17th century, was the main mosque for almost four centuries in Male, until the Islamic Centre and Grand Friday Mosque took over the function in 1984. It is a masterpiece of coral curving and traditional workmanship and is considered as the world’s best exhibition of coral curving.

The national museum is located inside a public park called Sultan’s Park. It exhibits the sultans’ belongings, Thor Heyerdahl’s, archaeological discoveries and stone carvings the Pre-lslamic and Islamic eras of Maldivian history and so on.

Nightlife in the Male is popular and exciting. Here tourists will not find a number of bars, pubs and discos. Many of the hotels and resorts in Male have discos, where a tourist can dance the night away. In fact, it is the ideal place for shopping and finding the best souvenir to take back home.

Masters of Tradition MASTERS of Tradition in Cork (19-23 August) is the festival which celebrates traditional music in its purest form. Looking set to build on the resounding success of the past, the 2015 festival will give performers the freedom to choose what they play in the glorious surroundings of Bantry House and St Brendan’s Church.

The festival aims to create a quiet and intimate space where the heart of traditional music can be exposed to encompass a simpler, less cluttered performance format, involving some of the very best Irish musicians.

As ever the festival is headlined by Martin Hayes, the fiddler from East Clare, whose distinctive touch and extravagant virtuosity has brought the tradition to new levels. His famous trance-evoking sets with Dennis Cahill have mesmerised audiences all over the world.

On the other hand, and noting that Venus is retrograde, perhaps this is a period for mastering the art of compromise.

Is it possible that you really, really need a colleague to move something out of the way? If a pruning exercise hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet been concluded you could get quite irritated.

Increasing exasperation levels may be the fact that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more going on in the domestic department than usual.

You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the only sign to experience tussle between the past and the future this week - though you might talk about the issues rather more than some. Fact is that you may be ready to break free of a situation thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now costing you in ways you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have imagined a few years ago.

Excited as you may be about a fresh start (post Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Moon (14th), you could take on more than you can really cope with presently. Rethinking and reducing levels of commitment might prove wise. It may be that you need to store strength for the end of the month.

Next week, and for the last time in three decades, the Sun (in your sign) forms a major aspect to Saturn at the base of your solar chart. Coming soon after a surge in the need to do things differently and YOUR way, it may be that you make the decision to leave an area, work-scene or partnership.

A partner or close colleagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement early in the week could be both exciting and unsettling. What might worry you is the timeline involved. Not for the first time you may be concerned about health issues or if a certain person is taking on more than they can possibly deliver.

Expect the unexpected as the week begins. It could be that a colleague or close partner has ideas and wants to implement them immediately. Allowing your lazy-Libra subpersonality to surface might not be appropriate! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite possible too that a review of your financial position will be necessary Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probable that you will need to pack more into your schedule - and that the process will require the goodwill of friends and others yet to become friends. Initially this could be daunting. Note that the Sun makes its last right-angle aspect to Saturn in your sign for approximately three decades.

A spotlight moves to you and your place within a team. Though true, you might not feel the full rays until next week, as early as this Monday you should be aware that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on its way.

First it may be necessary for you to master new technology - and not just at the surface level.

Given that there seems to be a marketing component to this, it may be imperative that you understand precisely whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s required.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probable youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start the week with a spring in your step but, before Thursday, come to the conclusion that one way of working has really run its course. Though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to be next month before you are in a position to make desired changes, knowing that a routine is coming to its natural conclusion may be no bad thing at all.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perhaps not just because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holiday time that people are thinking differently. Following on from Jupiterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move into Virgo last week, a decided shift of energy patterns could manifest in new partnerships and shifts in understanding. You may have been waiting a long time for this! Perhaps at last a certain person will understand where you are coming from.

Now that Jupiter has entered your opposite sign (Virgo), opportunities should come through alliance and partnership. Initially this may come from those who are either eccentric or drama-prone. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probable too that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to learn more about new technology or a software programme. Note that you may need to do this before mid-September.

Gig Guide

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Lisa O’Neill & special guests LISA O’Neill is joined by her special guests Seamus Fogarty & Emma Smith (Geese) at the Set Theatre this week.

Start with the voice. Spritelike, but an old soul singing. Lisa O'Neill has the kind of voice that might sit as easily on a Carter Family recording as it would an avant-folk crank artifact. It's a tender and expressive instrument, but possesses a midlands Irish

flintiness. More to the point, it suits the subject matter and songs.

Co Cavan-born singer Lisa O'Neill's second album Same Cloth or Not is an assured piece of work. Her approach is unrushed, naturalistic, straighttalking. She's like a musical version of Flannery O'Connor.

Saturday 22nd August, Set Theatre, 8.30pm. Tickets: €1.

IF YOU’RE looking for one last blast of summer-movie fun, see The Man From U.N.C.L.E. It isn’t easy adapting a TV show to the big screen, much less a show like The Man From U.N.C.L.E. where the politics and the narratives are soaked in Cold War ideology. Some would be inspired to modernise the show, turning it into a more gritty reboot - much like the ongoing Mission: Impossible series.

While that tactic works if you know how to use it, there’s also nothing wrong with keeping the story in its original period, which is what Guy Richie does with his film adaptation of the classic spy franchise. This is a huge part of what makes The Man From U.N.C.L.E. one of the most refreshing and entertaining films of this summer.

Iverk Show

Rated:12 A

AN intriguing tale from the Fault in Our Stars author, John Green, reminds us that cool kids struggle to live up their own legends.

Some teen movies resonate with audiences because the characters are so painfully realistic, reflecting our own awkwardness and adolescent angst back at us. Other films, however, operate in a far more aspirational mode, where even the nerdy kids get a chance to date the cheerleader, and all the characters speak with the wit and wisdom of middle-aged screenwriters.

Paper Towns operates resolutely in the latter category, but it’s no less intriguing for its utter artificiality. It suggests that savvy, sexy and seemingly put-together teen characters might be nothing more than a Rorschach blot upon which others can project their own dreams and inadequacies.

Movie of the week

Fantastic Four When four young scientists attempt to travel to an alternate universe, the experiment goes wrong and they are granted amazing new abilities, becoming the superhero team the‘Fantastic Four’.

Reed Richards becomes able to stretch his limbs huge distances; Johnny Storm can set himself on fire; his sister Susan can turn invisible and project forcefields; and their friend Ben Grimm’s flesh is transformed into rock. They must use their new powers to defeat evil hacker Victor Domashev. Directed by Josh Trank,‘Fantastic Four’is a radical reimagining of Marvel’s longest-running superheroes.

Album of the week

Lucy Rose: Work It Out Lucy Rose has become one of the brightest up-and-coming talents of the new generation of UK artists. In 2011 her trio of self-released singles -‘Middle Of The Bed’,‘Scar’and‘Redface’- invented their own world of uniquely emotive post-acoustic pop. As a friend and fan of the band she toured with Bombay Bicycle Club and sang on their records. Her debut album“Like I Used To”was recorded in the living room of her parents house and produced by Charlie Hugall. It beautifully mined her growing up years and expanded on her girlwith-acoustic guitar roots.

Game of the week

The Water Diviner

Guitar Hero Live (PS4)

Four years after the Battle of Gallipoli, widowed Australian farmer Joshua Connor (Russell Crowe) travels to Turkey in search of his three missing sons who were believed to have been killed or captured during the bloody conflict. Once there, his search is complicated as he begins to fall for local widow Ayshe, the owner of the hotel he takes up residence in. Aided by the reluctant Lieutenant Colonel Cyril Hughes, Connor searches for his sons hoping to give them a proper burial, but the suffering father is given fresh hope one may still be alive by Turkish soldier Major Hasan.

A quantum leap forward in immersion and realism, GH Live is a live-action experience that delivers the full emotional roller coaster of being on stage and performing in a real band, in front of real crowds, who dynamically react in real-time to how well or poorly you play. As the lead guitarist, you play an array of songs that span the changing musical landscape, in a variety of venues, from the smallest club stage in front of a hundred people, to the massive main stage of an outdoor festival in front of a hundred thousand people.

Chubby Brennan

In Castlecomer with Chubby Brennan

Our Helena jumps to glory in the RDS LAST WEEKEND saw our own Helena Hennessy triumph in the amateur ridden hunter class at the RDS Dublin horse Show.

The local business woman brought great success and huge honour to herself, her family and the town of Castlecomer as she revelled in third place on her first appearance at the RDS. HEALTH FOR ALL This is an opportunity to discover what complementary practitioners have to offer. There are so many different types of treatment for ailments.

The GP is usually the first port of call when we have an ailment. Medication is marvellous but an over dependence could lead to other problems for some.

This event is in Springhill Hotel on September 2 at 7pm. Admission is €5.

There will be opportunities to book a free session with some of the practitioners. What exactly happens in a reiki or reflexology treatment? Why go to a kinesiologist or homeopath? What is EMDR or TFT or EFT? Why all the hype about meditation?

Can it really make a difference to problems at work or at home? What can a nutritionist tell you that you don’t already know? These and many more questions will be answered.

The evening is being organised by Conahy woman, Claire Muldowney and friends.

BASKETBALL Registration for Castlecomer Basketball Club season is on August 28, 8pm to 9pm.

Parents are asked to go along to the registration evening in Castlecomer Community School Gym, fill out the forms and pay the relevant fee (€35). Fee of €3 is payable on each training night.

There is registration open to U12s, U13s and 14s. The 2015/2016 training schedule and start dates will be available on the night or enquiries to Aileen Coughlan, chair/secretary on 087-9662781 or Margo Brennan (treasurer) 087-3880207.

The season runs from September to April. Every child playing with the club must be registered annually with Basketball Ireland and the South East Board.

This is an excellent way of continuing on from your child’s summer sports, keeping up fitness, taking part in leagues, making new friends as well as being indoors.

A new committee has been formed to help coaches with the administration area of the club.

erest Base Camp last November where she met some inspirational families.

Anne and her trekking friends have already raised over €5,000 for Habitat’s Emergency Response Fund in Nepal.

They hosted a night called ‘Dance for Nepal’, a coffee morning and bucket collection at a Nathan Carter Concert in Kilkenny.

To be in with a chance to win see www.mycharity.ie/event/ rafflefornepal to make a €10 donation to Habitat or visit Dani Bergman’s workshop.

A draw will be held on August 22 in Dani Bergman’s studio.

For further information contact: Anne Smart, Habitat for Humanity Supporter and Nepal Raffle Organiser, anne.smart@ gmail.com or 087 9090064 OUR LADY’S ISLAND A pilgrimage to Our Lady’s Island will be held on August 30.

Bus from Castlecomer leaves at 11.30am. Fare is €10. Names to Castlecomer Post Office.

LECTURE A lecture entitled ‘D-Day Allied Invasion of Normandy’ will be held in the local library on August 25 at 7pm. Admission is free.

Blast from the past...

BOLLARDS For the first time in years, Bollards Pub will host a traditional Irish music session on this Friday sat 9.30pm. Some of the musicians involved were part of the group that played in the Walton’s National Music final in May. EARTHQUAKE Habitat for Humanity Ireland partners with artist and jewellery Maker Dani Bergman to support families after the Nepal earthquakes.

This is a fundraising initiative organised by local women and Habitat supporter Anne Smart.

Habitat and Dani of ‘Artists by Night’, Castlecomer Discovery Park are offering supporters the chance to win a bespoke piece of jewellery worth €300.

This raffle is an opportunity for the winning supporter to work with Dani to design a piece of gold or silver jewellery and watch it go from design stage to completion while helping families in Nepal to get back on their feet.

The partnership was organised by local woman and Habitat supporter Anne Smart. Anne’s interest in helping the people of Nepal stems from her trek with Tyndall Mountain Club to Ev-

The greatest achievement in the golfing life of a club golfer is the winning of a Captain’s Prize. This year, Captain Michael Curry presents the Captain’s Prize competition with the first round on Sat 22nd/Sun 23rd. Captain Michael has served the club very well in every way throughout his captaincy and throughout all the years of his membership of the club. To win his prize, as Captain, would be a feather in any member’s cap. Good luck to all involved.

Tue 25th Ladies Day. A date to note Mossie Skehan’s Presidents prize will be held on the weekend 29/30 Aug. Team news Callans South Leinster team were in action on Sat 15th against neighbours Kilkenny this darby match whenever it occurs is always well contested with home advantage being of little value as both teams know each others tracks so well and the travel time between each course being less than half an hour. On this occasion Callan had home advantage and with weather playing its part it gave both teams a chance to show their skills. Away Callan sent Paddy Donovan, Liam Brennan, Jim Kirby, with Paddy beaten on 17, Liam winning on 15, and Jim winning non 17. At home Callan’s Tom Kenny won on 15, Ivan Brown Won on 16, Gerry Brett win on 18, and Dennis Collins won on 17. An emphatic victory for Callan Golf Club in a match that was always going to be to victors goes the spoils. Our Duggan Cup team were also out in Edenderry this weekend we were just crest fallen as Liam Brennan and Michael Murphy were beaten on the 17th, Paddy Grace and Kevin O’Driscoll never got going and were taken in early, Paddy Donovan and Johnny Kennedy won on the 16th, John Grace and John Doheny lost narrowly on the 17th after a fight back. Hard luck to our beaten Duggan Cup Team who just for a few puts missed could have advanced to a final and well done to the South Leinster boys. Captain Pat and President Mossie are delighted with effort put in and are proud of our achievements.

Kilkenny RESULTS & FIXTURES TUESDAY August 18th MENS CLUB SECTION & GENERAL GOLF NOTES INTER CLUBS UNLUCKY OVER THE WEELEND. It was a busy weekend on the Inter Club front which unfortunately ended in defeat for the three teams involved. Details of the Irish Mixed Foursomes and the South Leinster are listed here and details of the Ladies Senior Cup team can be found in the Ladies section notes below.

IRISH MIXED FOURSOMES The Leinster Finals of the Irish Mixed Foursomes took place on Sunday in Malahide. The Kilkenny team under team managers Frank Dalton & Barbara Teehan took on Baltinglass in the semi final at 8.40 on Sunday morning, Richard Duggan & Margaret McCreery were first out, they reached the turn in one down and found themselves 3 down after 13 holes, they fought back and leveled the match on the 18th and were unfortunate to lose on the 19th. In match two Brendan Power & Liz Neary lost the first hole but quickly regained the initiative turned 3 up and closed out their match on the 15th. In match three Anthony Cleere & Catherine King lost ground coming to the turn and didn’t manage to regain control and were eventually beaten on the 16th, match four involved Daragh McNamara & Amy Keating, the match see sawed on the front nine to turn level, Daragh & Amy won the 11th & 12th holes to go 2 up and seemed in control, their opponents fought back however and leveled the match on the 16th before closing it out on the par three18th where the Baltinglass lady played a great shot over the water on to the heart of the green to win the match, match five involved Kieran Wall & Jacintha Culliton who were 1 up turning but had gone one down when called in on the 17th to leave the overall result 3 ½ to 1 ½ in favour of Baltinglass. The reserves were Luke Kelly & Kathleen Hogan, Larry Carroll & Stella Coughlan, Denis Brophy & Bridget Norwood. The team had progressed through five rounds to get to Sundays semi final and team managers Frank and Barbara wish to thank the entire panel for giving up their time and for all their effort during the campaign.

Baltinglass were defeated by Malahide 3½ to 1½ in the final on Sunday afternoon.

SOUTH LEINSTER TROPHY Despite Kilkenny’s best efforts, Callan proved too strong in the South Leinster quarter final.

At home in Kilkenny Tom Lawlor played very well in his match, getting to 3up before closing out his match 2/1 on the 17th. Gabby Maher started well and despite this found himself 3 down at the turn; he battled hard before eventually having to concede defeat on the 15th. Joe O’Neill was under pressure early on and found himself 3 down; in typically fashion he fought back and was still in the game when called in on the 17th.

Away in Callan, David Harkin played Tom Kenny and while the match was in the balance his Callan opponent had the edge leading 2up at the turn. David got back to 1down by the 12th and looked like he might drive on but his opponent hit a purple batch before closing out 4/3. Tom McInerney started well leading 1up through 5, his opponent had it back to flat at the turn. It was a great battle down the back 9 before Tom, despite playing good golf, had to give best losing out on the 16th. Niall Sheehan stepped in at the last moment as John Quane had to withdraw with an injury.

Niall was up against Ger Brett who played excellent golf with early pars to build a lead of 3 up at the turn. Niall fought back to lead through the back 9 but his opponent got it back to 1up on the 17th with a great birdie this was the position when the match was

Kilkenny Reporter

called in on the 18th Jack Troy was in great form going into the match but very unlike Jack his driver abandoned him in the early part of the match and his opponent Denis Collins took full advantage reaching the turn 5up. Facing a near impossible task Jack battled back getting the match back to 2 down before his opponent closed it out on 17th.

Ben McGarry and Richie Phelan would like to thank all panel members for their hard work getting through the first 3 rounds; also all those members who assisted and supported the team during those games.

They would like to wish Callan G. C. every success as they go forward to meet Athy G. C in the semi-final on Sept 12th in Carlow.

The Under 15 boys Leinster final involving Kilkenny and Royal Tara will be contested on a home and away basis. The dates for the two leg final were changed from Sept 6th and Sept 20th due to the All Ireland Hurling Final falling on Sept 6th the same date as the first leg but it now transpires that Royal Tara cannot accommodate the first leg on the Saturday and it has reverted back to Sunday Sept 6th and will clash with the All Ireland Hurling. The away leg now which was changed to Saturday September 19th still stands at present.

The Fred Daly team will head to the All Ireland Finals in Moyola Park Castledawson just north of Magherafelt County Derry on Tuesday August 25th. The club will run a bus on Tuesday 25th if there is sufficient interest but we need members to contact us by Tuesday Aug 18th to see if there are sufficient numbers.
