Not that I feel we ever need an excuse to sit down to some warm comforting food, right now something like this may be the thing to cheer us up and give us a little comfort. This is not an authentic pot of chilli, I have added some smoked bacon to give it a little smokiness. As always when I make some like this I always stress to make sure you take your time in the first 20 minutes and then let it off on its own. That little extra care will always make the difference. For leftovers this can be used for lunch in a minutes or so. At this stage you can
Ingredients
rapeseed oil 800g good beef mince 200g smoked bacon, diced 1 large onion, diced 2-3 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed small bunch of thyme leaves, picked 1tsp. ground cumin 1tsp. ground coriander 200ml red wine
500ml beef or chicken stock
1 tin of red kidney beans, drained small bunch of chives, chopped 100ml sour cream
salt and pepper Heat a large casserole pot over a medium to high heat. Add a little oil and the add the mince beef. You want to keep the heat high so you may have to do this in batches depending on the size of the pot. Once it has browned remove the beef and add the bacon. Cook the bacon for about 3 minutes. Turn done the heat and add a little oil and the onions. Cook this slowly for about 5 minutes, then add the garlic, thyme and chilli along with the spices. Cook for another two
1 chilli, deseeded and chopped finely add the beef back to the pot, add the red wine. Cook over a medium heat and cook for about 5-10 minutes. Add in the stock at this stage. The stock should cover all of the ingredients. Cook this for about 30 minutes then add the kidney beans. Cook slowly for another 20 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add the chives to some sour cream and spoon a little over the mixture.
Serve this with some rice or to make it even less authentic and serve it with creamy mash potato. Bain taitneamh as!!!

CAMP COMMUNITY COUNCIL - FUNDRAISER Camp Community Council issued a Newletter last week. The Astro Turf has proved a huge success and is very much a focal point of the community facilities. Phase one of works on the Community Sports Hall which included Acoustics and complete rewiring of the building was made possible with the aid of NEWKD Leader funding. Community enhancement funding from Kerry Co. Council enabled the installation of new doors and wheelchair access and the erection of a canopy at the entrance to the hall. Phase two of the hall refurbishment was carried out in 2020. This included Sound, lighting, stage, floor sanding and varnishing, installation of audio visual system and screen and fire detection/alarm system. All works were planned and completed while retaining the use of the hall as a Sports Hall. It is now truly a multi purpose building which will serve the community and wider hinterland into the future.
Upgrade work on the sportsfield was completed in May 2020. This included further drainage of the playing pitch and the development of a fully lit, walking/running track around the perimeter. The track was made possible through a generous Sports Capital Grant. Camp Community Council would like to acknowledge the good working burrito. Community Council also acknowledges the funding support of NEWKD, Kerry Co. Council, Sports Capital and HSE. Camp Community Council is launching a Buy a Brick fundraiser. The brick bearing an inscription of your choice, 40 characters will be located on the ramp at the entrance of the Community Sports Hall. E250 per brick. This is an unique opportunity for local families, individuals and businesses to
relationship fostered with all the groups who use the facilities. Camp support Community Development in Camp. Camp Community Council is approved for charitable donations and you can allow Camp Community Council to claim an additional payment through tax relief on your donation at no additional cost to you. This is a novel opportunity for individuals, families and businesses and indeed our diaspora to support the ongoing development work at Camp Community Sportsfield.

Always a wonderful occasion at The Railway Tavern hosted by proprietors Ann and the late Mike O'Neill. Camp Fest 2020 organised a fundraiser this year in aid of Acquired Brain Injury Ireland in memory of The Legend himself Mike O Neill who passed away last May RIP. Over the years Mike and Ann welcomed people from far and near to Camp Fest and it was a wondeful sight to behold the array of Colourful Camper vans and vehicles of all shapes and sizes in the Railway Tavern yard and next door at Camp Junction Bar. Mike was always very proud to lead a cavalcade around the beautiful scenic Dingle Peninsula on the Saturday of the weekend. The event always supports a charity and this year the O'Neill family choose Acquired Brain Injury Ireland to be the beneficiary. And wishing all the organisers and Camp Fest members from all over Ireland and England well. Looking forward to a successful Camp Fest 2021. INCH Great news for Inch with the allocation of €25,000 from the Department of Rural and Community Development Towns and Villages Scheme for a Picnic and Recreational area. Well done to Inch Tourism and Development Committee. Continued success in the future. FUNGI Fungi, the Dingle Dolphin hasn't been seen in recent days. Dingle Bay was a happy home to Fungi, swimming around boats filled with admiring and excited visitors who came out specially to meet him. Wherever he is, hope the much loved Dingle Dolphin is in a happy place in his ocean world.
CASTLEGREGORY 2-10 BEALE 1-12
In tough conditions a few weeks back Castlegregory Seniors brought a little joy to the Club and Parish.....though not without a lot of tension...as they edged past BEALE in the swirling winds at Connolly Park Tralee by the narrowest of margins. A well executed game plan had them up 1-05 to 0-06 at half time but a slow third quarter where they failed to take advantage of the wind and a very nervous final 10 minutes nearly had us going to extra time. Thankfully we had some fine scoring, Jimmy O Grady shooting well from dead balls, Alan Fitz with marvellous point from far out on the right, Brandon Hoare dinking a few over and Maurice Slattery clinical when put through one on one with the Keeper. Alongside that, strong defending, frantic at times but always determined and great leadership shown in there by John Joe Hussey....Eoghan Lyne having a great first half performance. The reward a JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP Final against the neighbours Annascaul, but, with all club games gone on hold for the rest of this year well it’s anyone’s guess as to when we will see that final played. Following on from this Senior training has stopped for the moment and all at the club extend our thanks to manager Stephen Wallace and selectors for the excitement generated this summer for all Castlegrtegory GAA fans this year.
LGFA UNDERAGE
CASTLE U16 GIRLS PLAYING IN COUNTY FINALS With no Club underage girls teams playing in the Castle colours (struggled with numbers in the light of COVID) we have been following with interest our Girls who went on to join other clubs this summer and last Wednesday we had Castle Girls playing with both Na GAEIL and CORCA DHUIBHNE in their respective U16 County Finals,(Div 5 – Na Gaeil v Currow and Div. 2 - Corca Dhuibhne v Abbeydorney) Two Thrillers on the night, two draws and replays fixed and then postponed…..more matches to look forward too with training continuing. Playing for Corca Dhuibhne - Siobhán & Éabha Ní Laighin, Finóla Ní Chathasaigh and Orla Ní Chonchúir, Playing for Na Gaeil - Sarah Keane, Mia Keane, Molly Donoghue and Katie Smith Galvin. Club training for all U12, U14 and U16 Girls has finished for this year and the Castle LGFA committee would like to extend a great thanks to all coaches and Covid Supervisiors (namely Katherine Syme, Ciara, Paul Howley, Mary, Ger, Emilie, Cathy and Lenny) and indeed parents / guardians who put in a great effort to keep the girls playing and enjoying their football in a safe and fun environment.
COUNTY MINOR PANEL Whether county games / championships will go ahead or not now, it’s nearly a day by day process but last weekend CASTLEGREGORY got the great news that 3 of out young footballers were selected for the Kerry Minor Panel 2020......not a bad achievement for our club and big credit to all the club coaches who had been a strong influence on these lads from those early days when as young 6 year olds they trotted out onto Páirc An Caisleán with dreams of playing for Kerry. Big credit too to the lads themselves, Thomas O'Donnell, Caolán O'Connell and Maurice O'Connell who had trained hard and with focus through the last few years, in development squads, school teams, with their club and indeed alone, especially through recent months. Munster Semi-Final against Cork on Sat 7th.....maybe?..maybe not! Alongside this we have our 2 county players on the Girls side, Finóla Ni Chathasaigh starring with the Castle Senior Ladies in their Championship win, Chorca Dhuibhne at U16s and U18s and playing with the Kerry U16s. Unfortunately their Munster Championship fixture against Cork due to take place last Saturday was cancelled due to COVID considerations. Disappointment all around but grateful that all players are safe. We are sure Finóla will have many games ahead in the Kerry colours. And then we have Ciara Butler, a member of the Kerry Ladies Minor and Senior squad this year, what an achievement that is!!...again the Minor Championship has been cancelled in recent weeks and the Kerry ladies have an opening fixture v Cavan in the TG4 All -Ireland Championship....
30
again a maybe? No doubt about it though Ciara is only just starting out on her journey representing Kerry and we look all forward to following her progress.......Well done all!!. CASTLE COISTE NA nÓG Castle Cóiste na nÓg has finished all football activities for this year. The 12s, 14s and 16s all had an active summer of training and matches most weeks all under the guidance and best practice with Covid Regulations. The committee would like to thanks all the coaches (U12-Clement Crean, Karen Scanlon, U14 -Mike Crean, Tomás O Connor, U16 - Peter Crean), Parents and Guardians for their help and support through the season Also a special word of thanks to Coiste Sponsors - LYNCH'S SPAR, JIMMY O SULLIVAN Bld.
