MURHUR GRAVEYARD:
Have you noticed that the sign for Murhur Graveyard has diappeared? This is the third time it has happened. I find this most annoying because many people come from abroad looking for their ancestors and signs for graveyards are very important in their search. If you have any idea where the sign has gone you might just try and get it back but then it just might be in a pub in New York or somewhere else in the US. It would be interesting to know.
LADIES FOOTBALL:
All the teams were out this week,starting with the u12s. They had a very competive and even match v Listowel, just losing by 4 points in the end. That is the finish of the prelimiary rounds in this competition. The u16s travelled to Abbeydorney winning on a scoreline of 6-09 to 3-06, so this is a good start to their season and they play Kerins oRahillys this Thursday in Moyvane. The u14s were at home to Castlegregory on Sunday evening and had a good sporting match, winning on a scoreline of 1-11 to 1-04. The u14s play away to Spa next Sunday. Well done to all the girls mentors and parents involved. Well done also to the 4 u12 girls who were picked for the Kerry u12 development programme Brid Stack, Kayla Mulvihill, Clodagh Musgrave and Niamh O’Carroll.
