What's Happening in the Hub

Deirdre de Bhailís

In June, the Dingle Creativity and Innovation Hub ran a collaborative workshop in association with Imagination of Things to imagine and shape new possibilities for the Dingle Peninsula. Members of the community from a range of different sectors joined us to unlock ideas to start shaping a new future. An overview of the workshop and the concepts that emerged can be found at www.dinglepeninsula2030.com/re-imagine The workshop was an important building block for the creation of a collective, inclusive vision for the peninsula. But it was just one part of the journey. We would now like to share those ideas with you and invite you to join us online on Tuesday, October 6th from 7-8pm to hear what is possible to enhance our community and our lives on this beautiful peninsula. So many of you have skills, expertise and networks that could help turn these ideas into reality and you would be very welcome to join this journey and contribute to an idea that is of interest to you.

We are all looking at new ways to connect with the world and as such we’d love to hear from people in the creative sphere based on the Dingle Peninsula who may wish to use our boardroom/artists’ space/online workshop room to live stream, facilitate online workshops, etc. and avail of our 1Gb eir high-speed fibre broadband connection.

On a beautiful sun-filled afternoon in Currow last weekend our u14 footballers had a fantastic win against the home side. It was win for the girls born out of great determination and sprit as in the previous two meetings Currow had come out victorious on both occasions so our girls went in very much as underdogs. Despite a tough enough start where Currow were scoring at will and threatening at every attack our girls settled down to the task in hand. Playing with the hand of a strong breeze the girls went in 4-7 to 4-4 up at half time after Orlaith Murphy converted a penalty after Orlagh Clifford was pulled down in the square. However the 3rd quarter was to be decisive period in the game as Currow now playing with the aid of a strong breeze faced an onslaught from the Daingean Uí Chúis/Annascaul girls. It was the cornerstone for a great and well deserved win. The final score Daingean Uí Chúis/Annascaul 6-11 to Currow’s 6-04

It was a fantastic campaign overall for the girls led by goalkeeper Béibhinn Nic a tSithigh who was the difference between winning and losing and pulled off some fantastic saves in the final and her kickouts were excellent all through. Molly Greaney really improved as the campaign went on. Sarah Casey at full back was brilliantly consistent. Leah Ní Chonchúir was exceptional on the day and her experience was crucial. Ellie de hÓra was one of our star defenders throughout and at centre back Orlaith Murphy showed fantastic footballing abilities and Mae Griffin on the other wing was also outstanding and did a great man marking job in the final. Gráinne O’Dwyer had a brilliant final while Orlagh Clifford right through the league showed her outstanding athleticism in every game. Roise Deane at wing forward improved in every outing, she interchanged with Ellie Nic Gearailt who was our one of our most improved players this year and Saoirse Mehigan lead the attack brilliantly. Líle Ní Ghairbhí at left half forward had an exceptional final and her ball winning and distribution was excellent. Hannah Ní Ghrainbhíl got better each game as the campaign went on and Nóra Driscoll came up with some vital goals through out. Our speedster Ciara Ní Chinnéide caused huge problems for defenders and Meghan Brosnan came on and played a key role in the final as did Sinéad Murphy. Hayley Ní Fhlathara was outstanding coming off the bench and played her role superbly and is an outstanding talent for the future. Robin Ní Chaoinnealáin was injured for the final but played key role for us in the campaign. Final word goes to our two youngest players Ciara Slattery and Ciara Casey who both made important contributions in the final. Well done all !
