TALK

Tarbert Comprehensive School Parents’ Association invites you to a talk by Martina Keane, Health Promotion Officer, Southern Health Board, in the School Assembly Hall on Wednesday October 20 at 8pm, followed by AGM. All are welcome.

CROPS

It has been an outstanding year for all berry-growing plants and trees. The apple crop seemed to be the best in many years and holly trees are coated abundantly with berries. For farmers, the crop of white thorn blossoms is an indicator of what type of summer weather was in store. It would appear that the reason for the outstanding year for all berry-growing plants and trees was due to the previous fine year.

GAA

Seniors: Moyvane had a very good win over Brosna in the County Novice championship last Sunday. Score at the end of a very tight game was Moyvane 1-11 to Brosna 0-10. Moyvane meet Glenbeigh/Glencar in the semi-final at a venue to be clarified. More details next week.

Minors: Moyvane play Ballyduff in the final of Division 2 of the North Kerry league next Saturday October 23 at 3pm in Coolard.
