It was a brilliant occasion for Leaving Cert students of Loreto Kilkenny and their friends. A magical mystery tour, dinner, night club and breakfast at Tullamoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bridge House Hotel proved to be a ďŹ tting goodbye to a school where young girls and their teachers had a happy rapport. At The Reporter, we have no mystery tour, but you can travel on to more pictures on Pages 22&23 Pic: Donal Foley

$ 1(: (5$ ,1 7227+&$5( $55,9(6 ,1 ,5(/$1' World-leading dental treatment at incredibly low prices! A dramatically new dental practice has been launched that provides some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most advanced aesthetic and cosmetic dental treatments. And you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to travel to central or southern Europe for its huge benefits. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now available in the state-of-thedental-art Carlow Dental Centre in Graiguecullen. The Centre has been established by two of the best dentists in Hungary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itself acknowledged as a worldleading country in that field. Between them, Dr. William Hayfron and Dr. Krisztian Sallai have two decades of highly successful experience treating patients from around the world. Having responded to the need from Irish patients, Doctors Hayfron and Sallai had opened a practice in Ireland. In doing so, they will enable people with dental problems to achieve major savings while relieving them of the stress and time-consumption of travelling abroad.

Making your smile wider than your wallet The clinic claims three major qualities: Cost, Confidence and Convenience. Cost meaning low prices. Confidence that comes from being treated by highly qualified dental practitioners experienced in crowns, bridges... and in restoring smiles which adds so much to oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-confidence. Convenience is in the surgeryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accessible location and its opening hours at weekends. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the speed of service delivery. Even the most complex dental restoration can be achieved within two weeks (subject to no inflammation or the absolute need for extractions). Not least, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dedication to minimising discomfort and pain. Indeed, the majority of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patients say they feel hardly any pain during and after their treatment. Equally satisfying is the minimum pain to the bank balance.

Cost Comparisons: â&#x20AC;˘ A porcelain crown generally costs â&#x201A;Ź700-900 per tooth. At Carlow Dental Centre, it is â&#x201A;Ź380. â&#x20AC;˘ A root canal treatment is generally starts at â&#x201A;Ź400-600. At Carlow Dental Centre it costs from â&#x201A;Ź100. And at Carlow Dental Centre the results are fully guaranteed! Dental problems may get only worse if neglected. So people are advised not to put off this opportunity to widen their smile with advanced treatments... at the lowest-possible prices.

)LOP :KDW LI What If is When Harry Met Sallyâ&#x20AC;Ś for the current generation. I guess you could call it When Harry Potter Met Zoe Kazanâ&#x20AC;Ś. Has anyone used that yet? No? Good, then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m stealing it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not entirely fair, though, because What If (once known as The F Word on the ďŹ lm-festival circuit) is additional proof that Daniel Radcliffe will enjoy an illustrious acting career outside the walls of Hogwarts, so long as he continues to seek out and accept endearing projects such as this. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fâ&#x20AC;? from The F Word is â&#x20AC;&#x153;friendship,â&#x20AC;? which is what Chantry (Kazan) seeks after meeting Wallace (Radcliffe) at a party. Their â&#x20AC;&#x153;meet cuteâ&#x20AC;? involves refrigerator magnets that can be manipulated into funny sentences. The duo hit it off immediately, spend the evening gently ďŹ&#x201A;irting over common interests, and walk home as

6LQ &LW\ D 'DPH WR .LOO )RU When Robert Rodriguezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sin City stormed into theaters in the spring of 2005, it blew me away by itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brand of over-the-top noir. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never seen anything like it -- graphic in design, relentlessly violent and gleefully debauched. I saw it four times in theaters. I bought all the graphic novels and devoured them. And then, I eagerly awaited the sequel. Finally, Rodriguez has brought most of his original cast back together for Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. But after repeated delays, a staggered production schedule, and nearly a decade since its predecessor, how did this long-awaited follow-up turn out? In a word: YEESH. Like Sin City, its sequel is a tangle of interweaving plots that reject chronological order. In this snarl, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the story of a hotheaded young gambler (Joseph GordonLevitt), a revenge-fueled stripper (Jessica Alba), and Ava the titular femme fatale (Eva Green) who lures an old ďŹ&#x201A;ame (Josh Brolin) into a dangerous game. I wanted to like this movie. I had hoped to be sucked into Frank Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultra-violent world, where men are

bruisers, women use sex as a weapon, and power is corrupt, always. But there are too many obstacles to enjoy Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. The ďŹ rst of which is just how messy this movie is. Where the ďŹ rst ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s structure cast aside linear storytelling for a high-octane pace, its sequel does so without apparent reason. Its pace is painfully slow, with plot lines trudging along for untold days, weeks or months, rather than zinging from one high-impact sequence to the next. Frankly, it

makes the movie confusing, without a clear demarcation of time that has passed. If I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read the graphic novels, following the plot would have been a struggle. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for more of what you loved from the ďŹ rst movie, there are moments here that should please. But as little effort as seems to have been put into making this monstrosity, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly recommend paying the steep fee of theater tickets to experience those handful of highlights.

the sun begins to rise. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Chantry reveals that she has a steady boyfriend. Can these two just be friends? The Harry Met Sallyâ&#x20AC;Ś comparison connects more thoroughly to Nora Ephronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in-tune dialogue between the sexes. The dialoguedriven What If adapts a dry, sarcastic stage play named Toothpaste & Cigars, penned by T.J. Dawe and Michael Rinaldi. The conversations are acute and familiar, probing but comfortably recognizable. You either have been in similar situations to the ones facing Wallace and Chantry, or you sat on the other end of a phone listening to a close friend spell out these very same troubles. You probably didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an easy resolution to your struggling friend, and What If canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ďŹ nd an honest ending either â&#x20AC;&#x201C; settling for a tidy and rushed conclusion

that needs a bow to complete the illusion. :KHUH GRHV :KDW ,I VWXP EOH" 7KH RYHU UHOLDQFH RQ FXWHV\ SRS FXOWXUH UHIHUHQFHV FDQ JHW LQ WKH ZD\ RI KRQ HVW FRQYHUVDWLRQ IRUFLQJ WKH WZR WR VXUSULVLQJO\ LQWHUDFW DW D VFUHHQLQJ RI 7KH 3ULQFHVV %ULGH EHFDXVH WKDWÂśV D KLS UHIHUHQFH ULJKW" $QG WKH ODQ JXDJH WULHV D OLWWOH WRR KDUG WR VKRHKRUQ WUHQG\ QHZ WHUPV OLNH ÂłÂż VK KRRNLQJÂ´ DQG ÂłVH[ QDFKRVÂ´ LQWR RXU OH[LFRQ 6WRS WU\LQJ WR PDNH ÂłIHWFKÂ´ KDSSHQ :KDW ,I ,Q IDFW LW ZDV GXULQJ D UHSHWLWLYH ELW ZKHUH &KDQWU\ H[SODLQV KRZ &RRO :KLS JRW LWÂśV QDPH WKDW , UHDOL]HG H[ DFWO\ ZKDW :KDW ,I LV ,WÂśV WKH FLQHPDWLF HTXLYDOHQW RI WKH GHVVHUW WRSSLQJ ,WÂśV OLJKW ,WÂśV Ă&#x20AC; XII\ ,WÂśV RYHUO\ VZHHW %XW ZKHQ LW WULHV WR EH DQ\WKLQJ KHDYLHU WKDQ ZKDW LW UHDOLVWL FDOO\ LV LW IDOOV DSDUW -XVW EH KDSS\ EHLQJ &RRO :KLS :KDW ,I :HÂśOO DOZD\V KDYH D WDVWH IRU WKDW

TOP TEN

1 2 3 4 5

Film of the week Lucy Lucy is a new French sci-fi film directed by Luc Besson and starring Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman, it tells the story of Lucy, a twenty-five year old student in Taiwan who is tricked into becoming a drug mule with drugs hidden in her abdomen. After sustaining injury, the drugs in her stomach are released vastly improving her mental and physical abilities (as opposed to killing her of course) and Lucy spends

the rest of the film exploring her abilities and tracking the people behind the drug smuggling. Many have dismissed this film for embracing the 10% of your brain myth but it doesn’t bother me, if you’re going to not watch something because its science isn’t consistent then you might as well cut out Star Trek and the Twilight Zone and thousands of other legendary sci fi products. A fun movie.

Gig of the week Lloyd Cole

Lloyd Cole came to prominence in the 1980’s as the man at the head of Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, a popular pop band with ﬁve Top 40 singles and four Top 20 albums, Cole now tours solo with just him and his acoustic guitar, playing new

folk material as well as old rock songs remodelled as folk. He is known for his extensive audience interaction as well as telling his songs as opposed to playing them, it’s a unique experience that is deﬁnitely worth seeing. Lloyd Cole will be playing at the Set Theatre next Monday starting at 8PM, tickets are €25.

Book of the week Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage Another book by famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami means another four hundred pages of cats, cooking, dreams, Jazz, dissociative women, literal manifestations of metaphors and copious amounts of sex. Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His

Years of Pilgrimage is an interesting read, not quite as surreal as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles and Kafka on the Shore but also not as straightforward (for Murakami) as Norwegian Wood, it’s a mix of styles really from different points of his now

35 year career. I could recount the plot as simply as I could but there’s no point: It’s Murakami, you’ll either read it or you won’t, if you haven’t read him before start at Kafka or Wind-Up and then decide if you want to read this.

App of the week Cut the Rope 2 Cut the Rope 2 is one of those few sequels, especially in smart phone gaming, that radically changes up the formula from the original and manages to create a game that does more than cash in on the name. Cut the Rope became one of the few smart

Game of the week The Bridge The Bridge is an indie puzzle game that is on sale until 6PM Wednesday (90% off on Steam) and is an excellent (if quite simple) game with simple but thought out mechanics and as always, a unique and enchanting art style. The game is set in this black and white world and puts you in control of a character who can rotate whatever room

he is in; using this he must find his way around his environment, find keys to open doors and avoid traps and giant evil looking boulders. The game is a lot of fun and finds creative ways to use its mechanics, I recommend The Bridge.

phone games that could compete with Angry Birds; the basic gameplay has you cutting a rope attached to a sweet that needs to be fed to Nom, a weird monster thing. Often this required massive manipulation of the environment which obviously made Nom impatient

as the sequel completely inverts the original situation; Nom now must travel to the sweet. Though both require you to get the thing to the other thing Nom has a completely new set of gameplay mechanics so the experience is completely fresh.

Lifestyle & Living Calvary

Calvary comes from the same people responsible for 2011’s The Guard and tells the story of a priest in confession whose told by the man on the other end that he’ll kill him by Sunday week. Initially he’s not quite sure what to make of this but the ﬁlm escalates past this and becomes quiet thrilling as it goes on. It’s a black comedy at heart, and

can be very funny throughout, though it is deﬁnitely more serious than The Guard. The cast are all great, with Brendan Gleeson, Chris O’Dowd (Moone Boy) and Aidan Gillen (The Wire, Love Hate, Game of Thrones) all putting in great work. Calvary is a very good movie and I recommend it.

Business of the week The Watershed Located on Bothar na Tounish Road, The Watershed is Kilkenny’s best all-purpose exercise and leisure spot that is simply bursting with facilities for all. Do you like swimming? Football? Athletics? Basketball? Martial Arts? Running? Working out? What

about just sitting in a Jacuzzi or a steam room? The Watershed provides you something to do no matter what you’re in the mood for. There’s nothing stopping you from doing some athletics and then taking a steam, or the other way around, and then top it

off with some football if you want; the staff is endlessly friendly and helpful. Along with the day off The Watershed is also perfect for parties of all ages, I can’t think of what our city would do without The Watershed.

TV of the week Bojack Horseman Season 1 The next Netﬂix Original Series became available this week and tells the story of a horse who was the star of a famous 90’s sitcom who has now fallen out of favour and spiralled into drug abuse and alcoholism; it’s in the same vein as Seth McFarlane,

Simpsons and Arrested Development (with which it shares Will Arnett). It unfortunately doesn’t do much to differentiate itself from its inspirations and is a fairly generic show but I’ll give all the praise necessary to a company that will allow me to watch 12 episodes in a row without stopping. Give it a try, if you’re into this kind of thing you should enjoy it.

Album of the week You’re Dead! Soon we will see the release of the latest Flying Lotus album, ‘You’re Dead!’ which from what we have heard so far is wildly divergent from what has come before. Flying Lotus is known for his jazz inﬂected instrumental hip-hop and has been on the forefront of the genre since his sophomore album ‘Los Angeles’ in 2008, but it was 2010’s ‘Cosmogramma’ that solidiﬁed

Pub of the Week Billy Byrnes Located on John Street, Billy Byrnes is one of Kilkenny’s best and most likeable pubs that provides an experience unparalleled in the city. Billy Byrnes is family owned and is famed for its friendly atmosphere and staff that turn it into a home away from home. The pub also serves home cooked

meals all day including a full Irish Breakfast and has all the important features from beer gardens to smoking terraces to private parking and it even has free wi-ﬁ. Billy Byrnes simply has everything that one could need in a pub and is one of the city’s best locations.

him as one of this generation’s most important musicians. With this album we see Ellison head deeper into his Jazz roots with sounds resembling Jazz Fusion and features from Jazz legend Herbie Hancock as well as contemporary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Thundercat as always and Angel Deradoorian. The album is set for release on October 6th.

â&#x20AC;˘ Max Casey takes a look at the best of music, ďŹ lm and literature â&#x20AC;˘

),/0 7KH $SDUWPHQW

The Apartment was controversial in its time, actor Fred MacMurray was famously accosted in the street by a woman who accused him of making a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dirty ďŹ lthy movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and then hit him with her purse; It is not gratuitous or rude but it does openly discuss ideas and themes previously unprecedented in Hollywood and is a deďŹ nitive commentary on its era. The main character of The Apartment is C.C Baxter, an insurance man working in New York City in a building with 31,259 employees and with no cubicle to separate any of the hundreds on each ďŹ&#x201A;oor. The problem with Baxter is that he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go home until late at night because he allows his multiple bosses to use his apartment for ďŹ&#x201A;ings in the city before they retreat back to the suburbs to their wives. This is his attempt at getting a promotion, but it quickly gets out of hand with Baxter being told to clear out of his apartment in the middle of the night and having to make complicated schedules for who uses it when. He becomes infatuated with the elevator girl; Fran Kubelik (Shirley Maclaine) but is shocked to ďŹ nd her one day on his bed after swallowing half a bottle of sleeping pills following a break

up with Mr Sheldrake who still wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave his wife. The ďŹ lm is a mix of drama and comedy, the ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main plot is grim but the ďŹ lm also gets great mileage out of Baxterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighbours who think he is having a new woman every night when in actuality he impatiently waits outside in the cold. The writer and director of The Apartment was the ever reliable Billy Wilder who had a skill for making a ďŹ lm with such broad appeal but also being a distinctly unique product that can stand with the best of the eraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ lms. Many scenes in The Apartment perfectly capture the feeling of being a small cog in an overbearing large machine from the fact that Baxter has many bosses to the organization of the elevators to the omnipresent noise of his working space due to the hundreds clacking on typewriters and speaking on phones all around him; and the situation is even worse because he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go home at night. The Apartment is a product of its time and place, it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been made ten years before or ten years later but still manages to craft emotion and character that resonate in 2014, I recommend this ďŹ lm wholeheartedly.

Signs and Symbols is a short story by Russian American author Vladimir Nabokov initially published by the New Yorker in 1948, it is a sombre and melancholic tale that perfectly encapsulates what makes the author one of the best of the twentieth century. The story focuses on an unnamed elderly couple who go and visit their mentally handicapped son on his birthday, they bring various different jars of jelly beans as a present but are unable to meet him due to him having attempted suicide again the day before. His condition causes him to see everything in the world as a sign or as something connected to him, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;referential maniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is what a scientiďŹ c paper calls it. The couple arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wealthy, they are ďŹ rst generation immigrants to New York City who are largely supported by the husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Isaac, the story is such a simple one, the couple simply take the train to the sanatorium, leave, go home, and the story ends with them unable to sleep that night. We learn a lot about their family in this time, the boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earlier symptoms

were seen instead as signs of genius, the wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aunt was killed in the Holocaust, and the husband had been a successful businessman when they lived in Minsk. At this stage the couple are simply world weary, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had their lives and their ambitions taken from them and have resided to spend the remainder of their lives together, working and visiting their son. Nabokov is known for the clinical and darkly comedic styles he often uses in his writing and it is made use of very interestingly here. Nabokov seems to use humour but not to make you laugh but to underline the tragedy of these characters lives. The doctor stating that their sons previous suicide attempt was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a masterpiece of inventivenessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; would be the butt of a dark joke in any other story but here it simply makes the event even more despairing. Nabokovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work often functions like a puzzle of symbolism that you are meant to decode, one notable example comes at the very end when the couple are called two (probably three) times over

6SLGHUODQG

the course of a few minutes by a woman asking for a man named Charlie, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly unrealistic but gives the stories of Nabokov a certain charm as you try to decode what these events could mean. The story is after all called Signs and Symbols so you can presume both of these make large appearances. Nabokov was unquestionably one of the best authors of the twentieth century, and this short and simple story by him still stands as one of his best written works, I highly recommend it.

Slint are a band from Kentucky, a US state where not much happens, a place proud of the fact that it has more deer and turkey per capita than anywhere else in the country, despite this it created an album as beautiful, whimsical and far-fetching as Spiderland, and it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come from anywhere else. Slintâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spiderland sometimes feels like a magic realism book brought to life in music, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sound is deep rooted in escapism and the fanciful; the album cover is the heads of the band members while they swim in a body of water, the universal symbol for dreams, and despite the fact that Kentucky is landlocked the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lyrics make reference to pirates, oceans and sailors. Nowadays Spiderland is most famous for being part of the ďŹ rst wave of post-rock albums, albums that were experimental, long form, and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be grouped together until years after their releases. The songs on this album range from ďŹ ve to eight minutes and are almost completely ambient, trundling forward on this uncomfortably slow rhythm that could have made for a satisfying riff if played faster. The band makes use of

strange time signatures, sporadic dynamic shifts and cacophonic guitar, these all give the album this uncomfortable sense of unease and strangeness that remains for all of its forty minutes. Occasionally and only brieďŹ&#x201A;y the ambience explodes and is torn apart by a rush of screams and guitar that only last an achingly short amount of time but stand out as the best moments of the album. The vocals are delivered in this spoken word style that makes each song feel like a little story, the lyrics donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add up to much but the delivery gives them a certain mystique, lines like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Don stepped outsideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;creeping up into the skyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really mean anything (the latter being a reference to a rollercoaster ride) but they are still burnt into the heads of fans because of how they are said. Everything is askew on Spiderland, the rhythms are elongated unnaturally, the vocals are surreal and even the album cover is blurry, the album takes some time to begin appreciating but once you do youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll discover a new and terrifying world in Spiderland, I highly recommend it.

Charming, elegant, stylish, romantic and merger-making Libra Your ruling planet is Venus, your best day of the week is Friday and your colours are gentle hues of blues, pinks and violets. Pluto’s passage through Capricorn until 2024 is shaking your very foundations. Mesmerising, insightful, determined, resourceful and focused Scorpio Your ruling planets are Mars and Pluto, your best day of the week is Tuesday and your colours deep, deep red and black. Saturn is moving through your sign until late 2014. Unusual developments are likely. You could be involved in complex dealings - or asked to give a close partner advice about their career. Domestic change may be in the air too - possibly including plans for guests or travel at the weekend. Ideas could come at you from all directions. Several short journeys or frequent contact with ‘mission control’ may be necessary. You may find yourself in the company of someone who has ‘wacky ideas’ who is forcing you to think differently and to see an opportunity that’s actually been under your nose. Quirky, determined, logical, eccentric and freedom-loving Aquarius. Your ruling planets are Saturn and Uranus. Your best day of the week is Saturday and your best colours are electric or deep, rich blue and anything metallic. Saturn is passing through another of the Fixed signs, Scorpio until late 2014. Intuitive, sensitive, big-picture thinking, kind and thoughtful Pisces. Your ruling planets are Jupiter and Neptune. Your best day of the week is Thursday and your best colours are those of the sea: blue, green, lavender and silver. Slow moving Neptune is in your sign through to 2024.

Kiln demo There will be a lime kiln demo at Michael Bergin’s, Ballycarran, Jenkinstown, today, Wednesday, August 27, 3pm-8pm and on this Saturday, 2pm-8pm. Kilkenny Archaeological Society, in the spirit of Heritage Week, has teamed up with Conahy Heritage Society and Conahy Vintage Club, to host this event. This kiln, which is quite sizeable, has had some repairs and a tidy up enhancing its appear-

There will be information on the formation of limestone and its distribution, to the history and uses of lime, the production of lime on site and demonstrations on its use. Also on view will be vintage equipment. Refreshments will be available.

087-7633837, Sheamus 0834405571 Fossils returned An evening of celebration and history is assured when long lost fossils acquired by Castlecomer Credit Union will be presented on loan to Castlecomer Discovery Park. The collection of over 20 fossils vary in size and composition, from local plant fossils revealing minute growth lines to quartz mineral pieces. It is understood that the fossils were located more than 700 feet below the surface and were ﬁrst brought above ground by the miners who realised how precious and rare they were.

Through the generosity of Castlecomer Credit Union the fossils will be used in the Discovery’s Park’s Education programme, and in particular for the new Geology & Rocks module for secondary schools. A short talk celebrating the return and signiﬁcance of the fossils for the local community will be given by Dr Matthew Parkes from the Natural History Museum. The presentation will be during National Heritage Week on August 28, 7pm in the Discovery Park visitor centre. Music will be by Aine Brennan and the Deenside Minstrels, with light refreshments beforehand.

*ROI 1RWHV Callan Presidents Prize Callan Golf Club is honoured to have Corkman John Healy as President 2014 and this weekend John hosts his Presidents Prize. From lunchtime Friday until Sunday afternoon Johns prize will be up for grabs in the final major of Callans golfing year. John first played Callan over 40 years in his maiden game with Larry Kenny who in the seventies introduced John to this wonderful game. John went on to join Tramore Golf Club for a while before employment in Callan brought him to join our club in 1991. He quickly became Captain in 1993 and has been on almost every committee ever since working tirelessly. In 2000 John captured a major of his own when he took Paul Roches Captains Prize and this year he invites all those eligible to play to come and try to claim his major prize. There will be a mixed on Sunday evening at 5pm with all members from every section of the club invited to join John. The presentation is timed for 9pm with a great social night planned after the formalities have finished. Please come along and show your support for a wonderful supporter of Callan Golf Club and a fabulous President. Duggan Cup Callan s Duggan Cup team have qualified for the final following a fabulous victory against Birr in Edenderry. Edenderry are the host club of the Duggan Cup since it’s inception some years ago and this is Callans first taste of the final. In the semi final John Grace and Jimmy Dunne led the way with a fine win and were quickly followed by Tony O Driscoll and John Doheny. Meanwhile Paddy Donovan and Kevin O Driscoll along with Paddy Grace and Pat Cunningham were beaten after titanic struggles meaning that Denis Collins and Liam Brennan would decide whether Callan would qualify for the Duggan Cup final 2014. Liam doubles as manager and along with Denis held their nerve brilliantly with Denis pitching stone dead on 17 to ensure qualification. The final will be on Sunday 31st September at 1pm in Edenderry at 1pm. It would be a fantastic climax to the year for this brave team and hopefully a sign of things to come for the South Leinster Team who have also qualified for the latter stages of their competition in Carlow against the Curragh on September 13th with the final being played on September 14th. Niall Brett has been a superb manager of the South Leinster side and will have his troops very well prepared for mid September. It’s exciting times for Callans teams with opportunities to put a pennant on the wall a fabulous prospect. The very best of luck to the Duggan Cup boys this week-

end and what an added reason to celebrate it would be on Presidents Prize night if the lads could bring home the pennant. Club Colours The men’s club colours have been amended to a green jumper with a yellow polo shirt with grey or dark slacks. This decision was made following the Men’s Committee meeting last week and it is hoped that all men representing the club in 2014/15 will wear the colours. There are two major competitions for the men of Callan this year and all support would be appreciated for our Duggan and South Leinster teams. Men’s Singles Stableford Joe Sweeney warmed up well for John Healys Presidents Prize with a fine win on Sunday last. Joe had a fine 41 point total off his 15 handicap to take top honours after a count back when John Hayes had the same total but a slightly weaker back 9. Paul Norris took gross honours and third place went to Simon McCarthy after a fine 40 point total. In the O Dwyer Golf Stores Singles Series visitors held sway when Alan Simpson had 43 points to pip the very promising Eoghan Scriven by a point. Paul Norris took his second gross prize of the week after an excellent effort. The O Dwyer singles series continues every Wednesday until the final in autumn. Lotto This weeks draw sees the total reach 5350e following last weeks no jackpot winning draw. The numbers were 23,24 and 31. The support which the Lotto gives ensures the smooth running of our club and thanks to all for your wonderful support. Mary O Dwyer, Andrew O Dwyer and Deirdre and Kathleen Phelan were the lucky dip winners. It could be your turn to scoop the pot so buy a ticket and hope for the best!! Lady Presidents Prize There was a wonderful finale to Lady President Rita O Neills Presidents Prize when thirteen ladies contested the playoff. It was a tightly contested event but Mandy O Brien was not to be denied. Mandy along with Marie Gorey and Anna Starr amazingly all had exactly 56 points after 27 holes but Mandy won the day to capture Rita’s major prize much to her delight. Hard luck to the other two ladies for coming so close but it was Mandy who came out on top. Helena McCormack was fourth just a single point adrift. It was brilliant initiative to introduce the playoff and Rita must be congratulated for making a brave decision. The decision was justified as it produced the most thrilling of finishes. The gross went to Breda Ryan with a fine 25 point total while Margaret O Shea was fifth a further point behind. Mary Lanigan and

Eilish Ahern took the front and back 9 prizes respectively while the past Presidents award went to Evelyn Bookle. Eileen Cuddihy took the Senior prize and Eileen Bergin the best 36. It was a brilliant day for Rita and fitting end to her Presidents Prize with Mandy winning out after an unforgettable battle.

The biggest event of the year for club members began the first part of the stroke competition over the weekend of 23/24th. All players were vying for top positions on the leaderboard. This, to give themselves every opportunity to capture the big one when the final round takes place on Sunday next the 31st. The best combined score over the two rounds will secure the coveted prize and title of Captain’s Prize winner for 2014. There is much to inspire a supreme effort to bring out the best of golf. So it was on the first weekend round. When the dust settled after the weekend’s play J.D. Harding and Tony Carr headed the field. Both had excellent scores of 67 and are two shots clear of Sean O’ Shea and Gerry Mealy both on 69. Declan Buggy leads the student section after a terrific round of 68. All players who returned a score of 77 or better have been allocated tee times for next Sunday. Please check the timesheet for

your allocated time. (online or club noticeboard). All other players can book their time on the timesheet online or by contacting the golf club. The leading three players will tee off at the final tee time of 2.50 p.m. With combination of scores over the two rounds, Sunday’s golf is promising to be an exciting round of golf to have an overall winner emerge victorious.

Tee off time is at 1.30 and the opposing team is Naas. The ladies on the team, who have played magnificent golf throughout the tournament to bring them to the final, have been busy practicing the course in Courtown in preparation for the match. The team of Emer Foley & Betty Byrne, Honoria Fogarty & Betty Owens, Maria Downey & Ann Ring, Joan Brennan & Loretta Mansfield and Breda Phelan & Nuala Mahon have proved great dedication and focus, working individually and collectively to bring chance of victory to Castlecomer Golf Club. With just one more team to overcome, the ladies go to Courtown on Thursday, with the belief and faith of the club that they can and will win, and there are none as deserving of the win. The rest of the ladies in the club are invited to travel to cheer on the team and to fill the spare seats of the cars travelling, with supporters. Whatever the outcome of the day, the club is already delighted with the effort and good show given by this great team of players, representing the club. May the flight and bounce of the ball favour the Castlecomer players and every putt drop for them. The fun continues with the plans for Vice Captain Patricia Doheny’s outing to the Heritage Golf Club on 5th October. Reported in error last week to cost 50 euro, the outing cost is actually 60 euro, which is still terrific value for a day out with tea and scone before play, a round of golf on the Heritage championship course and meal afterwards. This is one of the most popular competitions of the

ladies golfing year. Beginners, new members and established members are very welcome to the inclusive fun of the day out. To indicate participation, those who are going should put their name upon the sheet in the ladies locker room. All enquiries and deposits can be directed to Lady Vice-Captain, Patricia Doheny. The match play for ladies is underway with the first round played. All who are in the league must ensure that they play within the time frame allocated for the completion of each round. All results, fixtures and upcoming events of interest can be found on the club website, www. castlecomergolf.ie. Photos, news and lotto results/ticket purchases are available there and it is well worth checking into regularly. With so many exciting events to keep track of, like the mixed team who are in the All-Ireland finals and the TGIF mens and womens finals due in the weeks ahead, it is a good idea to make the club website a favourite to review. There are many great things happening in the club and it is a source of joy to have ready access to know about it all in good time. Those responsible for maintaining and updating the website are hugely appreciated by all those who have such easy access to all it offers.

The heat of battle

Camaraderie is king

Gaule grabs great goal to gun the Galway girls Kilkenny 4-12, Galway 3-7 PAT TREACY

KILKENNY battled their way into the Liberty Insurance AllIreland Senior Camogie final in Croke Park on September 21 with a hard earned eight-point win over defending champions Galway. The senior team have joined the intermediate squad as the pair bid for honours on All-Ireland camogie day at GAA HQ on the third Sunday in September. Early scores Galway,didn’t give up their title easily as they battled back with two goals in the third quarter to test the resolve of the team they had beaten in last year’s final. The winners were commanding in the first half and led 2-5 to 1-3 at half time with early goals from Michelle Quilty and Ann Dalton Galway sub Brenda Hanney cracked home two goals to turn the game on its head. The all action Shelly Farrell

settled Kilkenny nerves with her team’s third goal to keep them in front entering the closing 10 minutes. A Denise Gaule goal in the final minute confirmed victory. Unstoppable Niamh McGrath opened the scoring with a point in the fifth minute but a quick reply from Denise Gaule and wing back Elaine Aylward gave Kilkenny into a lead they never relinquished. A fortuitous goal in the 12th minute by Michelle Quilty gave the winners a six-point lead as they dominated. Midfielder Ann Dalton scored a great individual goal in the 20th minute after a 50-yard run through the heart of the Galway defence. Orlaith McGrath gave galway a lifeline before half time with a smartly taken goal to leave her team five points adrift at half time. Galway goals Galway manager Tony Ward introduced Brenda Hanney at half time and the move paid off with a goal after five minutes to reduce the lead to two points.

At the other end, corner forward Shelly Farrell and full forward Katie Power swopped positions with telling effect as Thomastown’s Farrell bagged Kilkenny’s third goal. Galway continued to press as Hanney bagged another goal and reduced the deﬁcit to two points with eight minutes remaining. An inspirational point by Katie Power was followed by a difficult pointed free by Denise Gaule to give them a four point cushion. Windgap’s Gaule sealed the issue with Kilkenny’s fourth goal. Kilkenny dominant This was a dominant display by Kilkenny who showed composure and resilience in the second half. The team management will be concerned about the concession of three goals in one game after conceding one only in the four qualifying rounds. The backroom team and players have four weeks to work on defensive frailties. Kilkenny have players of quality and experience to come off

the bench. On Sunday they introduced Edwina Keane, Aoife Neary and Grace Walsh. All three played in the 2013 All-Ireland final defeat by Galway. There will be a huge battle for places for the final. In the other ‘semi’, sub Una Leacy rescued Wexford with a late point to grab a replay against Cork on Saturday. It finished 1-9 each. Kilkenny scorers: Denise Gaule 1-5 (1f), Ann Dalton 1-3 (1f), Shelly Farrell 1-1, Michelle Quilty 1-0, Katie Power 0-2, Elaine Aylward 0-1. Galway: Brenda Hanney 2-0, Niamh McGrath 0-4 (2f), Orlaith McGrath 1-0, Ann Marie Starr 0-1, Aisling Connolly 0-1. Team: Emma Kavanagh, Mairead Power, Kate McDonald, Jacqui Frisby, Claire Phelan, Leanne Fennelly (Capt), Elaine Aylward, Colette Dormer, Ann Dalton, Denise Gaule, Aisling Dunphy, Aine Connery, Michelle Quilty, Katie Power, Shelly Farrell. Subs: Elaine Keane, Aoife Neary, Grace Walsh.
