Kerry Library launches its 2019 Summer Stars Reading Adventure

Libraries across Kerry are welcoming children to participate in a fantastic adventure that will keep them busy with reading throughout the school summer holidays - the Summer Stars Reading Adventure. Each year Kerry Library runs summer reading programmes for primary school children to promote reading during the holidays and to encourage readers and not so regular readers to engage with books. The 2019 Reading Challenge will run from now until 30 August.

Taking part is easy: just call into to your local library and register. Each child who registers for the free programme joins in the fun of reading lots of exciting books. Each child will receive their own Summer Stars reading card to record their progress and for each book read will have a Summer Stars Reward Stamp added to their card at the library. At the end of the programme, all children who have participated will be invited to attend an awards event at their local library.

All welcome COISTE NA NÓG U12: Hard luck to the U12 hurlers who suffered a defeat to Crotta in a sunny Dromakee on Monday evening. After a poor first half which resulted in a half time score of 2 - 5 to 0 - 0 to Crotta, it was up to the mentors to share a few words of encouragement to get their heads back in the game. It worked as the second half was a much-improved performance where they managed to outscore Crotta, however it wasn’t enough to overcome the deficit. The U11s had a comprehensive victory against the second Crotta team. The same players were out on Friday evening and won well against Kilmoyley. U14: It was a busy week for the U14s. On Tuesday they played at home to Parnells, although missing players, some of the younger players were able to slot in. Final score Ballyduff 2 - 13 Parnells 1 - 4. The U14 footballers drew with Tarbert in the first game of the North Kerry League in Tarbert on Friday evening. There wasn’t much time to rest as most of these boys were out in the U14 County League Hurling final against Ardfert in Ballyheigue on Saturday evening. Congratulations to Luke Kennelly (captain), the players and mentors in retaining the trophy for a second year. Both teams were hungry for victory and at half time Ballyduff were lucky to be ahead 1 - 3 to 0 - 3 thanks to a Ray McGrath goal, but Ardfert were looking threatening. Things improved in the second half and the boys increased their work rate, and managed to stay ahead, running out eventual winners on a score of 1 - 8 to 1 - 4. U16: The U16 footballers made the long journey to Gneeveguilla on Wednesday night. It was a depleted squad of 11 players and 2 U14s that took to the pitch in Gneeveguilla. The long trip took its toll for the first 15 mins and it looked like a defeat was on the cards, but two quick goals from Kieran O’Carroll and Anthony Kavanagh had the home team on the back foot. From there until the final whistle it was anyone’s game with both teams leading at patches, but we managed to just inch past them in the dying minutes of the game and won 5 – 9 to 3 – 13. BALLYDUFF GAA NEWS Minor Hurling: Heartiest congratulations to Kerry Minor Hurling team who Division 2 of the Celtic Challenge Cup on Saturday last. Well done to Manager John Hennessy, William Quinlan Giles O’Grady and players Darragh Quinlan, JP O’Carroll, Darragh Slattery, Dylan Moriarty and Sean O’Connor. They didn’t have much time to celebrate as they were in action on Sunday morning in Caherslee in minor hurling v Tralee Parnells where they came away victorious on the score 5 – 8 to 2 – 5. Senior Football: Our senior Footballers, though very much under strength, had a good win over Kerins O’Rahillys B in Ballyduff on Sunday last. Senior Hurling: County Senior Hurling Championship time is here again and on this Sunday we go into battle with Crotta O’Neills at Austin Stack Park at 1.30pm.

BALLYLONGFORD BEST WISHES & THANK YOU Rumours had been in abundance in recent times that our esteemed Parish Priest Fr. Padraig Kennelly would be probably leaving us this year. True enough those rumblings unfortunately became a reality on Friday 28th June last as Bishop Ray Browne announced a number of Clerical Changes within the Dioceses to take effect within the next fortnight. Fr Padraig who has been with us since 27th July 2012 was one of a number of those Clerics to be assigned to a new parish. So sadly, we bid a fond farewell to a wonderful priest who has made such a difference to everyday life since he came amongst us in our parish. He took up the appointment of P.P. of Bally/Asdee on the retirement of Fr. Philip O’Connell and like Fr Phil he had a head start in the sense that he came here with a great knowledge of the area and the people within it, as he was born and reared in neighbouring Ballydonoghue. Fr Padraig has indeed been more than a shepherd to his flock in that period of time in which he made solid friendships with both young and old from within and outside the community. Never a one to shy away from any challenge he did marvellous work during his 7 years with us, the re modifying and the putting in place of various committees and personnel to oversee so many different projects would fill this entire paper if we had to detail all. He had a wonderful way of getting things organized and completed. Not alone had he the responsibility of this Parish but in recent years he had to fill in as moderator and oversee the Parish of Tarbert which was left without a priest in recent times. The celebrating of the many various sacraments throughout the year were always conducted to perfection from the Music, Colour, Decoration and the meaning of the Sacraments were always beautifully illustrated and delivered. Christmas was special for young and old as the church was beautifully decorated, and a joy to behold. These small things along with the everyday running of the Church was so nice and made so easy by a man of great vision and goodness. He was a very jovial and easy going man who liked to help everybody in whatever way he could, and he always empathized to never complicate issues, and as he would often say himself if asked his opinion on something, his encouraging words were simply “Keep it Simple”. On the 17th June 2016 he celebrated his Silver Jubilee with us, that was a fantastic occasion and the people of the Parish came out in their droves to celebrate with him. Special occasions will be gladly and fondly remembered by everybody, who had the pleasure of dealing with Fr Padraig. Whether it was Christenings, Holy Communion, Confirmation, Marriage or Death he always comforted, consoled and celebrated in a very helpful way. Thanks Fr Padraig for all you did for us, and I know that various people will have various memories of you, which we will forever cherish. Finally, on behalf of the whole Community we wish our esteemed Parish Priest every happiness and health as you take your leave of us and take up your new ministry in Firies in Killarney. As the verse of and Irish blessing goes: May their always be A sunbeam to warm you, A moonbeam to charm you, A sheltering angel so nothing can harm you and May God Bless and Keep You Safe. Mile Buiochas a chara Padra Padraig. WELCOME We extend a sincere and warm welcome to Rev. Fr. Michael Hussey PP who is transferring to us from Castlegregory where he served as P.P. before being appointed Parish Priest of Ballylongford We hope that Fr Michael will enjoy many happy years of happiness and health with us.

BEALE GAA

Beale seniors secured the points against Dingle B in Páirc de Staic on Sunday in the County League, Division 5. Supporters witnessed a very even first half with some good moves and defensive work by both teams. There was very little between them on the field of play and, indeed, on the scoreboard. We went in at the interval with our noses barely in front, 0-5 to 0-4. Both teams upped the tempo on the changeover as we snatched a fast opening goal and went on to lead by five points. Within minutes, Dingle pulled us back, raising the green flag at the other end. We pulled off a great save and it was tit for tat now on the field of play. However, even though Dingle were still very much in it, it’s true to say that we were that bit sharper. While little separated the teams on the scoreboard, it looked like the game was ours to lose in the closing quarter. The final score ended in our favour, 1-15 1-10. We travel to Stand Road in two weeks time to play Kerins O‘Rahillys B and the following weekend we play host to Dr Crokes C.

ASDEE GAA

COUNTY LEAGUE DIVISION 5: Asdee 1-11 John Mitchels “B” 2-7 Asdee won out in Tralee after a battle, having made the game much tighter than it probably should have been. In tricky windy conditions, Asdee played against the wind in the first half and got off to a lively start but were to squander a couple of chances after lovely team moves. Darren Russell opened the scoring with a great point for a well deserved score. After the teams swapped scores, the crucial score of the game came when Owen Tydings finished a fine move with a rocket to the top corner of the net. Mitchels came back strong and nearly broke through for a couple of goals but some excellent play by the Asdee defence kept them out. Owen Tydings added 2 fine points before the break to see the teams all square at 1-3 each at half time. Asdee started the second half strongly and went 2 points ahead with fine scores from Darragh Keane & Paul O‘Carroll. Mitchels hit back with a point before Darragh Keane, Darren Russell & Paul O’Carroll hit lovely points at the end of excellent flowing moves. Mitchels added a couple of frees to close the gap before Darragh Keane notched up 2 points, one an excellent long range effort. Mitchels tried to break down the Asdee defence for a goal but it held firm, with one free to show for their endeavors. A brilliant Asdee counter attack ended with Shea Doran tipping it over for a fine point. 4 points down, Mitchels made a last push & won a penalty in injury time to make it a 1 point game. Asdee squandered a scoring chance before turning over the ball & the final whistle followed for a big win for Asdee. Asdee fought very hard, mighty work rate, with some lovely moves & if they had converted some of the wides it might have been a fairer reflection. Asdee move to a well deserved third place in the table & now have Beaufort B in two weeks time. Team: James Kelly, Con Carmody, Kieran Kelly, Conor Keane, Mike Breen, Martin Collins, Jack Keane, John Doran, Darragh Keane 0-4, Paul O’Carroll 0-2, Sean

Keane, Darren Russell 0-2, Cyril Dineen, Owen Tydings 1-2, Eoin Kennedy. Subs: Shea Doran 0-1 for Cyril Dineen, David O’Connor for Paul O’Connor, Jack Collins, Stephen Lynch. NORTH KERRY LEAGUE FINAL: The North Kerry McCarthys Insurance Brokers Senior League Division 2 final a competition that got underway in early February is finally going ahead on this Saturday evening despite having plenty obstructions along the way at semi final level which was due to be played on March 17th and which in no way did Asdee play any part for holding up the competition. A phone call on Sunday evening to our North Kerry Board Delegate and member of the C C C Committee from the North Kerry Board confirmed that the game Asdee v Knocknagoshel will go ahead on this Saturday evening with time and Venue yet to be confirmed. Deadlines must be met for the P R O, So for further information check with Club Secretary, Mark O Hanlon for further details. Knock will go in as firm favourities as on recent form they seem to hold the upper hand on Asdee but all games are well contested but in fairness there isn’t much separating the sides when they meet. So hopefully on this occasion Asdee Captain , Sean Keane will be holding the Division 2 trophy aloft on Saturday evening . We need all our many followers to once again come out to cheer the boys on to victory. NATIONAL SCHOOL: St. Marys, Asdee GAA would like to congratulate Asdee National School on their 50 years Anniversary of the present building which replaced the original stone building. An enjoyable function was held in the school last Wednesday evening to celebrate the 50th Anniversary. The event also honoured the graduating sixth class and saw the Bun Scoile team receiving their North Kerry medals. Looking back through the years this column would not permit me space to mention all the past pupils who excelled in their various professions that attended the School. So we have a look back on the G A A side of things; this school has produced some top class footballers and especially are proud to say that seven All Ireland Senior Football medals came its way with Paud and Eamon O Donoghue along with John Kennedy, and of course the famous Croke Memorial Medal (Jack Moriarty) which is certainly historical as it was in that Croke Memorial Final 1913 after a replay between Kerry the winners and Louth that attracted a record crowd at the time of 32,000 and a cash flow of £1,930 and it was that windfall which enabled the G A A to purchase the then Jones Road. Thus did Croke Park come into existence and Asdees Jack Moriarty was one of the players who helped to buy the now famous ground. Paud is the holder of All Ireland Senior (2), 5 National League, All Ireland Minor and U21, 3 County Senior Championship, Eamon, 2 All Ireland Senior, 5 National League and Railway Cup 3 County Senior Championship, John Kennedy, 3; along with Junior and Inter Firm.
