(full spoilers for the first two seasons of The Sopranos) There are few television shows in the world more unrelentingly grim than The Sopranos, it’s not sad, or melancholy to any great extent, it’s just grim; eightysix hours of unrelenting, all-consuming grimness. And no episode from the early days of the show encapsulates this more than Funhouse, the hour that would anticipate The Sopranos future developments and push the boundaries of the medium much farther than they’d been before. The Sopranos became famous for having a season long conflict end in the penultimate episode, leaving the finale for reflection and smaller stories; Funhouse is no exception: the season’s primary antagonist, Richie Aprile, was murdered anticlimactically in the episode previous by Tony’s sister and goes unmentioned here. Most of the events of Funhouse are unconnected from the season’s arc: Tony gives his mother stolen airline tickets to get her away from him, Tony gets food poisoning and has surreal fever dreams, Tony finally realizes his friend Pussy is a rat and kills him on a boat along with Sil and Paulie, Meadow graduates, Tony is arrested temporary for the airline tickets, and then the episode ends on almost a cliff hanger for what would happen next. Tony’s dreams include lighting himself on fire, killing his friends, having his therapist and talking to dead fish, it is obvious Tony knows on some level that Pussy has been flipped and these sequences encapsulates his clash of conscience about what he must do, the sequences really do portray that spasmodic, often random nature of dreaming very effectively. One of The Sopranos great themes is that of decline and stagnation, most of the characters are involved in the New Jersey Mafia but it’s a business

that has been petering out of existence for years, the main characters are living so far past the peak that they are dwarfed by their fathers and grandfathers, and this is at the heart of Funhouse. While the actual events here are set in July of 2000 Tony keeps dreaming of winter, of snow on a New Jersey boardwalk, despite the fact that Tony and his gang are probably doing the best in Season 2 Tony simply can’t escape the thought of what’s around the corner. The end of the episode repeats a piece of music from its beginning and pans over the crime empire in work; rubbish collectors, porn theatres, abandoned offices and men selling calling cards, the empire preys on the blue collar worker but it’s that same population that is disappearing in the US. Another of the great themes of this episode is permanence, water has always been used as a symbol of that in this show (think of Bobby staring over the lake in the end of Sopranos Home Movies) and it is a shot of the sea that is the ﬁnal of this episode, there both to remind us of the now dead Pussy and the fact that all of this is temporary, ‘everything ends’ as Carmella screams at Tony a few episodes later. Things change in Funhouse: Pussy dies, Christopher moves up, Meadow graduates, Carmella forgives Tony; but nothing really changes, everyone will go to work the next day as if nothing has happened. The episode was unprecedented at its time, the decision to resolve the main plot in the hour previous and leave the ﬁnale for surreal dream sequences baffled audiences, some of whom felt cheated after the accessibility and satisfying arc of season 1. But as the show went on the esteem of Funhouse grew and grew, it signalled a change in direction and a certain idiosyncratic nature rarely seen in television, simply a great and important episode of television.

Araby gives us a common scenario, Joyce’s character is obsessed with a girl he has never talked to: he thinks he is in love but knows almost nothing about her except for the fact that she’s pretty. ‘Managan’s Sister’ is her name at least to the nameless narrator, the simple fact that he is not even aware of her name highlights the inherent hollowness of his ‘love’. Araby is part of the Dubliners short story collection and is the third in the book, it is in this collection that Joyce established his format for a short story that would remain used and relevant up until the present day. Most notably: You get a grim, depressing story with characters living in a dull, unchanging world, and then the work ends with some sort of epiphany that puts the character’s life in perspective and usually makes the stories even less cheerful. The story here is simple, the narrator is obsessed with a girl, the girl eventually asks him if he’s going to the Araby, a great bazaar that she can’t attend, narrator says he’ll go and bring her something and dreams and dreams of it. On the day, his

uncle arrives home drunk and late because he forgot and we only arrive at the Araby just before ten: It’s deserted, nothing but a few distracted stands left, at which point our narrator realizes the foolishness of his obsession. One of the great themes of Dubliners is paralysis and Araby tackles this differently than most of the stories. In this story, our narrator is trapped in the dull drudgery of his life and sees this girl and the Bazaar as some sort of escape from it, in the last line of the story: ‘Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger.’ He realizes the hollowness of this dream and heads home alone in the darkness. Joyce’s prose here

is sinewy and naturalist, his dialogue sounds colloquial and some of his descriptions take a second to comprehend but give a unique character, an example being the description of a one way street as ‘being blind’ in the opening sentence. Araby is a simple, short and relatable little story, one describing the more painful characteristics of being a youth and being one in Dublin, Ireland; I highly recommend it.

The change that Tom Waits went through in three short years from his debut to this album can be seen just by looking at the album covers of the two albums: Closing Time has Waits on the piano, it’s late yes but he’s in the front room, presumably thinking about his music. The album cover of Small Change features Waits in a dressing room, looking anxious, distracted, a topless go-go dancer in the background, it’s obvious from seeing this image onwards that Tom Waits has left the stage and is ready to get into the grit, into the heart of where he is existing. Tom Waits has gone through many, many different periods in his long still continuing career and it is this album that redeﬁned and immortalized his early period. Waits’ ﬁrst album, Closing Time, was released in 1973 and sounds nothing like what you would expect, mostly folk impressed singer songwriter stuff with Waits trying to downplay his gravelly voice as much as possible. If you skipped the intermediate albums and went straight here, you may not even recognize him, Small Change exists almost in a different world. We open with Tom Traubert’s Blues, a song of strings and soft piano and Waits sounding harsher than ever, instantly it’s like we’re sitting in a dark, comfortable lounge but it’s not quite right, Waits isn’t just harsh but raw, when he sings he doesn’t adhere to the instruments and disappear into the mix, he

contrasts, he is highlighted. The cast of Waits’ lyrics really start to resemble the beats by this stage with junkies, prostitutes and various night owls making appearances, but the most pressing theme of the album is that of alcoholism. Waits was becoming more and more of a drunk in the years leading up to Small Change and in this album he tackles the issue head on: The Piano has been Drinking records the nonsensical ramblings of an alcoholics mind, even on songs that don’t tackle the issue directly like Invitation To the Blues, Waits will bring up his desire for a drink. Small Change has many a song that could be considered Jazz, Step Right Up with its backing trumpet and The One That Got Away being two noticeable examples, in truth the album muddles genres and tries many different styles of music that all still ﬁt into this gloomy depressed lounge atmosphere, a talent that Waits would exploit throughout his career. The only thing that is almost omnipresent other than Waits’ voice is his piano; on almost every song he creates these melancholy arrangements, featuring regular minor chords at the end of a line to give certain lyrics extra weight. Small Change is the deﬁnitive statement of Waits’ early career; it summarizes everything that came before and advances into previously unexplored territories, it is a fantastic and atmospheric album that I recommend.

)LOP 7KH &RQJUHVV In 2008, Israeli writerdirector Ari Folman drew the world’s notice with his daring, animated documentary Waltz With Bashir. Since then, wisps and rumors about his followup, based on Stanislaw Lem’s 1971 science ﬁction novel The Futurological Congress, occasionally made their way into the news. But largely, the drama starring Robin Wright remained an enchanting enigma. Now, at long last, it’s made its way on VOD--with a theatrical release soon to follow--and I’m thrilled to tell you The Congress is even more astonishing than Waltz With Bashir. In fact, it’s a ﬁlm so rich in texture, depth of emotion, and subtext that it feels a bit wrong to review it after only a single viewing. I can’t rightly pretend I grasped all the details that slid by in

$ /RQJ :D\ 'RZQ English ingénue Imogen Poots is like Teﬂon. No matter how messy the project around her may be, she remains resilient and radiant. This has been true of underwhelming efforts like That Awkward Moment and Need For Speed, movies where she’s proved to be a beaming highlight amid muck. Thankfully, A Long Way Down gives Poots more to do than be the quirky and gorgeous love interest. And ﬂanked by a cast that is lively and talented, she shines brighter than ever before. Based on the best-selling Nick Hornby novel of the same name, A Long Way Down is a four-hander, sharing the focus between a quartet of strangers who meet by chance on New Year’s Eve as they all convene on the same London rooftop to commit suicide. It’s a bizarre coincidence, one that not only prevents them from making this fatal leap, but also begins an unlikely friendship that proves a true lifesaver. This motley crew is made up of a disgraced morning talk show host (Pierce Brosnan), an isolated single mother (Toni Collette), a wannabe rock star (Aaron

Paul), and a smart-ass party girl (Imogen Poots). As their shared journey progresses, each is given a portion to detail via voiceover how they came to that rooftop, desperate to end it all. And through their revelations, we see how this foursome who seems so different so needs each other. Ultimately, A Long Way Down offers a bumpy journey with some

characters dazzling, while others feel dull. It’s a tricky thing to weave together four narratives. Still, what Chaumeil lacks in execution, much of his cast makes up in sheer charisma. Overall, the ﬁlm’s ﬂaws are outweighed by its charms. Though it’s not as deeply satisfying as About A Boy or High Fidelity, A Long Way Down is undeniably bubbly, heartwarming and funny.

this intoxicating narrative, but I hope to share the wonder this ﬁlm evokes with every frame. Robin Wright stars as herself, presented to us as an actress who once held so much promise as Princess Bride’s Buttercup. But in her opening scene, her agent (Harvey Keitel, in one of the most exquisite performances of his career) berates her for all the bad choices that have led her to squeaking by, scrounging for roles, and living with her two children in a converted hanger on the edge of an airport’s runway. He tells her she has just one choice left. She must sell “this thing called Robin Wright” to Miramount studios, which will scan her into their computers. Her identity and celebrity will become their commodity. She will never

act again, but her computercreated version will never age, and will never say no to a project. Ultimately, Robin Wright is a revelation, holding a funhouse mirror up to the sick standards of celebrity, its robbery of privacy, and the bullying inﬂuence of studios. The animation of The Congress is moody and surreal with a startling visual punch and heartstopping violence. Through its entrancing sound design, phenomenal animation, haunting performances, and disturbing dystopia, The Congress offers a criticism of Hollywood and celebrity culture that is breathtaking to behold. In total, The Congress is a visual masterpiece that will be studied and revered for generations to come. The Congress is now available on VOD.

Something you’ve been banging on about for months, might suddenly become crystal clear to others. In the light of the silvery moon, you could enjoy a magical experience too. Reminders of the past could mix happily with proposed romantic adventures for the future. It may now be absolutely clear what’s right for you. Over the next couple of days you could reach an important decision. Whilst surfing the Internet, you could gain valuable information that puts you ahead of the pack. News of recent success in some kind of test, might prompt further training. News from afar could be more than a little interesting. Opportunities could occur closer to home too. For several reasons, you could be both excited and ready to celebrate. You may be offered a glimpse of a very different kind of future. A relationship could be now back on safer ground or at least moving towards it. Growing confidence in your ability to deal with an administrative system or newfound ability to steer your financial ship away from the rocks might result in you giving off a different aura. It might feel as though you’re finally coasting toward the finishing line in a project. There could be good news in other areas of your life too. A laboursaving device could make all the difference to your day. This could even be passed on to you by a neighbor.

SUDOKU

This could so, so be your day. Career and family news could give you something to celebrate. True, it’s also possible that you could go over the top. You might therefore be grateful to those who are willing to check the small print of a document. Of course, there’s no guarantee that a dream can come true. That said, a unique alignment suggests that a little optimism may be appropriate. What’s occurred over the last couple of days could be the turning point you’ve been waiting for. In partnership you could have something to celebrate. Relatives may be involved. In fact, it could be that a family enterprise will take shape. Your place on a team could be assured. It might even be suggested that you play a high-profile role at an event at the end of the week. Good news could cause you to swivel on your axis. It might even come from more than one source. A partner or close colleague may have turned an important career corner. More importantly, you could now be on the verge of realizing a dream. It might have taken months to get this far, but it does seem you could at the edge of a breakthrough. True, you may be feeling fragile and unsure that you really can trust positive news. When shown a document and the terms of an agreement you could feel quite differently though! Whilst it might seem unbelievable (even to you) but you could slip easily off a hook - and gain respect in the process! A partnership opportunity (not necessarily romantic) could come your way. Best news could come from the domestic scene.

Here are some tips to help parents: Check if you qualify for the Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance. The scheme helps towards the cost of uniforms and footwear for school children, and operates from 1 June to 30 September each year. It is run by the local office of the Health Service Executive as part of the Supplementary Welfare Allowance Scheme. Your local office of the Health Service Executive will decide if you qualify for this payment. Continued on P46

Back to School

Buying stationery in bulk can be cheaper than buying items one by one. There can be good offers at back-to-school time, such as bundles of copybooks, pens and notebooks, so it’s good to buy what you think you will need for the year.

Bulk buying with family, friends or neighbours can also bring the cost down further. Considerable money can be saved on lunches , particularly at second level, where many parents have gotten into the habit of providing money

for their teens to purchase lunches daily at shops local to schools. Packed lunches prepared at home are not only cheaper than shop-bought lunches they are often nicer and more nutritious.

BULK BUYING WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS OR NEIGHBOURS CAN ALSO BRING THE COST DOWN FURTHER

Business of the week jason Walsh Acupuncture & Naturopathy Located on upper Patrick Street, Jason Walsh Acupuncture & Naturopathy is an excellent location in Kilkenny that offers a cornucopia of helpful and healthy services derived from the annals of Asian medical history. Treatments here include: auricular acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, cosmetic acupuncture, facial

rejuvenation and Indian head massage; for pain or stress relief the treatments here are tremendously effective and the staff’s friendly and relaxed demeanour change what could be a nerve-racking experience for a ﬁrst timer into something highly enjoyable. I highly recommend this business.

Book of the week Ken Follett- Edge of Eternity Edge of Eternity is the third book in Ken Follett’s ‘Century Trilogy’ and is set to be released next September; the series has gained great traction in the last few years for its humanist depictions of war in the 20th Century, focused more on civilians and the lives of unfortunate soldiers than any of

the major players. The series’ mix of grandeur with characters on many different sides and intimacy as we explore the inner worlds of these tragic ﬁgures has led it to massive commercial success and makes the book’s insatiable page turners. I’m personally looking forward to this books’ release.

Gig of the week Samaris Samaris are an Icelandic band specializing in spacey, ambient inﬂuenced synthpop music that will be playing at the Set Theatre next Thursday. The band formed in 2011 and has already a discography spanning two full albums and two EPs, the ethereal

vocals, the minimalist synths and downtempo sound all contribute to this snowy atmosphere that sounds both detached and warm; the band are pop at heart and use this to their advantage tremendously. Samaris will play starting at 8PM, tickets are €5.

Show of the week Da Da is a classic in the world of Irish drama, starting last Monday and continuing until Friday, the Watergate Theatre will be showing ‘Da’ to the Kilkenny world and it is worth every cent to see it in action. The play takes place following the death of Charlie Tynan’s dad and features him back in

Event of the week Mickey Mouse and Friends Bouncing Roadshow Next Friday will see the Mickey Mouse and Friends Bouncing Roadshow take place at the Kilkenny Activity Centre from 6PM to 9PM, the evening is brought to you by Captain’s Jack Inﬂatable Play Centre and is a really fun addition to what is already a great place for children up to ten years old.

The Kilkenny Activity Centre is located on the New Orchard Road, tickets on the door are €12 each or €40 for a family of four, for further enquiries you can call 0862611567, the night is guaranteed fun for kids and adults alike.

the house he grew up in, reminiscing about his past with the ghost of his father. The play is both tragic and comic, a common archetype in the country, and one of the best to come from the latter half of the twentieth century. The show is on from 8PM to 10PM and tickets range from €10-16.

Lifestyle & Living The Forest The Forest is one of the newer games to be up for Early Access on Steam and one that should deﬁnitely be tried if only when it is properly released. The premise is that of Lost, your plane crashes onto a desert island with the twist being that you are the only survivor and the island is inhabited

by a tribe of cannibals. The game has mechanics similar to Minecraft so you can build everything from houses to boats to effigies but at heart it’s a survival game and a horror game, the world is perilous and survival isn’t easy. It’s a very enjoyable game and one I recommend.

App of the week VLC/VLC Streamer VLC is the great ‘play practically anything’ video player for computers and is also available for phones, it’s been indispensable for computers throughout its entire 13 year career and has always provided less hassle and more usability than most other services. Though Android users

simply download the application, for apple now the VLC Streamer is the best service to use for playing any sort of video ﬁle and many different audio ﬁles. I highly recommend this app.

Film of the week Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is a great blockbuster, not the ‘turn off your mind for 90 minute’ variant either, a legitimately good ﬁlm and probably the best big budget release of the summer so far. The ﬁlm opens ten years after Rise, the spreading of the ALZ virus that we hoped could be used to cure Alzheimers has led to the near-extinction of humanity; the apes control the world but come

across a small band of surviving humans looking to re-establish some sort of human colony in San Francisco. Factions develop on both sides as to how they should treat the others and eventually the conflict boils over, turning the film into an action bonanza (which isn’t a spoiler because it’s a prequel). Smarter than most action films without sacrificing the fun, I recommend this film.

DVD of the week The Grand Budapest Hotel The Grand Budapest Hotel is Wes Anderson’s style possibly perfected. He is a director who loves to askew realism, bringing great attention to how the ﬁlm works and having us marvel in the way he sets up a scene piece by piece and with this ﬁlm he has the perfect platform to do just that. The Grand Budapest Hotel is inspired greatly by the writings of Stefan Zweig and stars Ralph Fiennes as

Album of the Week Killing Sound EP

This is a band who really don’t make it easy; the group from Bristol released this EP a few months ago but made it only available on two 12” vinyl that will cost you £16 (roughly €20) with shipping. This is admittedly more accessible than their last effort, 18 minutes recorded on 50 cassettes back in 2012, but this is still an annoyance to obtain. To top all this off, the group are frustratingly captive and as I must

admit, good, it’s unfortunate that this inconvenience did not pay back with a justiﬁed panning but alas, another week. Killing Sound is frosty and alienating, enamoured by UK electronic music the EP seems to take place in some sort of barren landscape with music being played hundreds of miles away, only a faint whisper making it to the listener. Certainly worth a look if the price doesn’t intimidate you.

a concierge working in a famous by now in disrepair hotel in the fictional state of Zubrowka. The film takes place over several years and is for the most part a series of vignettes featuring actors like Bill Murray, William Dafoe, and Owen Wilson amongst others. The Grand Budapest Hotel is a highly enjoyable film that I recommend to everybody.

*ROI 1RWHV Callan Captains Prize Martin Maher, Captain 2014, presented his beautiful Captains Prize last night after a wonderful weekend of golf in Callan. Qualifying was held Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning in beautiful summer conditions and after 27 holes of competitive fare Darren Comerford stood beside Martin to receive the blue riband honour in terms of prizes in Callan Golf Club competitions. Conditions had been as fair as was possible as there was little wind and temperatures over 20 degrees and all who played agreed that the course was in fabulous condition for the seasons most important event. Martin was thrilled with over 170 golfers turning up for to honour the event. Sixteen stood their ground after the initial 18 holes with Pat Cunningham signing for a magnificent 64. In the playoff Darren played superbly after a 65 to get there and his total of 100 and a half shots was enough to see him home by 2 shots from Pat Cunningham with Eamonn Holohan in third place a further shot back. Nigel O Donovan took gross honours with 72 and a brilliant 2 under for the back nine. Jim Wellwood took fourth place and Brian O Shea fifth. Cian Russell had a fantastic experience for a 14 year old after shooting a 66 and played well in the playoff in the final group and Cian took home the leading Qualifier prize and lots of positive memories. He is a promising prospect as is his junior colleague Robert Kerwick who won the top juniors prize. Others who figured prominently were Gerry Freyne (Past Captain) Michael Somers (Best Senior) and Niall Davy took the Long Handicap Prize. Others who performed excellently to qualify were Eddie Cunningham, Eddie Tallent, Shane Roche, Richard Needham, Michael Mullally and Robert Woodcock. Congrats to all for making this a most memorable weekend for all who played and particularly those lucky enough to contest the final playoff. Well done to the prize winners and in particular Darren for brave displays under pressure, to Competition Secretary Christy Vaughan for wonderful organisation and to all the staff of Callan Golf Club for their fantastic efforts to make the event such a success. The club is wonderful health as there was standing room only for the presentation which was a fitting honour for a fine Captain. Martins family came to join him on his big night and the social lasted into the early hours. The next major on the agenda is now John Healy s Presidents Prize in August which should also be a weekend to remember for Callans golfers.

Castlecomer The Lady Captain’s competition was full of high drama and competitiveness on the two days of the 36 hole stroke competition. Warm, dry weather blessed the competitors on the great occasion of Lady Captain Ita Madigan’s day. Expectations were high that a winner would emerge from the final five groups. As Lady Captain Ita greeted the incoming threesomes, one score shone out on the final day; that of the club secretary Nuala Mahon. None could match the great two day score of Nuala. Amid a night of music, food and celebration, Lady Captain Ita’s beautiful prizes were presented to those who featured in the winners enclosure.

Kilkenny CATHAL O’NEILL WINS PRESIDENTS AIDAN McDONALD’S PRIZE President Aidan McDonald’s prize was played for over the weekend with 290 players playing over the two days. The popular winner was Cathal O’Neill playing off 18 handicap with 41 pts. Cathal was out in 19 points and returned with 22 points to win on the count back. Cathal offset double bogies on the 15th and 16th by birding the 18th to add to his birdie on the 6th. Cathal is also one of our sponsors as the Honda Centre sponsors our golfer of the year competition. The runner up and beaten on the back nine was Con O’Sullivan playing off 16 handicap. Con had 21 points on the front nine and 20 on the back. In third place with the best of the 40 pts was Lee O’Sullivan who actually played with Cathal the winner. Lee blanked the 6th and 12th holes which proved very costly. The gross was won by Richard Guilfoyle (2) with 37 Gross Pts. Other prize winners on 40 pts were Paddy Fitzpatrick (12), Tommy Deegan (8), John Greene (15), and Anthony Cleere (5). Charlie Phelan (20) picked up the last of the main prizes with 39 pts. The Over 70’s; prize was won by Myles McCabe (23) with 36 pts and the Junior Prize went to Dylan Smithwick (9) with 39 pts. The Presentation of prizes took place at 10pm and President Aidan also presented his prize to the Ladies which was won by Mary Browne in the ladies competition some weeks ago. President Aidan was fulsome in his praise of the golf club members and the staff in his speech prior to the presentation of the prizes. Aidan who is originally a Dub gave his own unique rendition of the Zoological Gardens (his party piece for future reference) before the end of the night and both Aidan and Captain Denis Brophy shared some jokes with the gathering before the ﬁnal curtain came down. Resident photographer Michael Cantwell was also present on the night and the club made a presentation to Michael on behalf of the club. Michael started in 2001 compiling albums for the Captains and Presidents each year and all the Captains and President who have been the beneﬁciaries of these albums were more than willing to contribute and be part of the presentation. Michael was presented with a specially selected engraved piece of silver and also presented with a cheque. Over the years Michael must have spent a fortune having his photographs developed and his albums prepared. Michael’s family were present on the night and Michael received a great ovation at the presentation. The Ladies & Gents Open Singles played last Wednesday attracted over 220 participants and the winner was a young man from Carlow playing off 17 handicap who returned 44 pts with a split of 17 on the front nine and 27 on the back. The runner up was one of our own Juveniles Sean Manogue (14) with 42 pts, in third place also on 42 pts but beaten on the count back was Sean Morrissey (12). The gross was won by Conor Boland (6) with 35 Gross Pts. The remainder of the prizes went to Richard Manogue (8) 41 pts and Bobby O’Mahony (15) 40 pts. The Ladies Section was won by Kristeen Reid (36) Mountain View with 37 pts and in second place Annette Stapleton (22) with 36 pts. The Ladies 18 Hole Pga tankard competition was won by Rebecca Mulholland playing off 8 handicap with a great

score of 40 pts. Rebecca is part of the Junior Cup team which defeated Gowran last Wednesday to reach the final in Rosslare in late August. Rebecca won on the count back from Margaret Butler (25) also with 40 pts. The Best Gross went to Yvonne Egan (10) with 28 Gross Pts. Catherine Barrett (20) secured third place on 38 pts. The remainder of the prizes went to Margot Harte (30) 37 pts, Mary Rice (29) 36 pts (B9) and Brid White (22) 36 pts (B9). The winner of the 9 hole competition was Pat Walsh (23) with 17 pts and Bridget Smee (36) in second place on 15 pts. Only four Ladies played in Ladies 18 Hole Pga competition on the Sunday and the remainder played on Tuesday, the small number on Sunday led to a very distorted CSS of 76 whereas the CSS on Tuesday was 73, as a result those who played on Sunday had a much greater chance of getting cut and a much lesser chance of a point one The Ladies have a prize presentation this Tuesday night July 22nd when all outstanding prizes will be presented. Sixty three points was the popular score in the Senior Mens competition last Thursday with the top three teams returning that score. The winners with the best of the 63’s were Frank Coyne (14) Michael O’Reilly (20) Dave Schofield (27) and Eamon Molloy (26). Frank Coyne had a birdie on the 1st and Michael O’Reilly on the 10th. Second place went to Geoff Meagher (14) Tony Morrissey (16) Reay Brandon (20) and Dermot Moloney (21) with 63 pts and in third place also on 63 were Pat Foley (12) Maurice Ryan (21) Martin Cody (24) and Paddy Hally (25) 63 pts. Once again one team who should have been among the prizes was disqualified for incorrectly marking their card. The Senior men also had an away outing in Callan last week and the first three were as follows, 1st place, Michael O’Reilly (20) Shem Lawlor (22) and Paddy Raggett (15) 89 pts (83+6). They were only a three man team and had 6 bonus points added to their score of 83 pts, 2nd place, Willie Murphy (15) Peter Dabinet (20) Maurice Ryan (21) and Michael O’Neill (24) on 88 pts, 3rd place, John O’Leary (19) Martin Treacy (18) Jack Nolan (22) and Brendan Graham (24) 87 pts. The Senior Men will play for Captain Denis Brophy’s prize this Thursday with an earlier starting time of 10.30am. Captains Denis Brophy and Catherine King along with Vice Captain Liam Cody won the Allianz /Irish Independant three person team event in Mount Juliet last Wednesday with a score of 86 pts and qualified for the finals in the K Club which will be held later in the year.
