Weather:
To put it mildly the weather has not been kind to farming for quite a long time. Everyone is trying to find a reliable weather forecast. Farmers Guardian launched a new forecast for farmers last week and it is updated every day at 12 noon. You can find it at www.farmersweather.co.uk.
Ladies Football:
It was a busy weekend for the girls, starting with the u12s, who played Finuge/St Senans at home on Friday, May 3rd in torrential rain. This was a game of two halves with Moyvane eventual winners on a scoreline of 5-4 to 2 -10. Their next game is the last game of the preliminary rounds and this game is away to Kerin O’Rahillys. The u14s had another thrilling game at home to Beale in the Count League on Sunday, May 5th, winning by just one point, Moyvane 2-8, Beale 3-4. This is the last u14 game for a few weeks. The u16s are away to Cromane on this Wednesday, May 8th. Moyvane Senior Ladies also won in Ballybunion on Friday, May 3rd. All is well with the ladies.

We will also continue our seed / plant swaps so please bring any unwanted seeds or excess plants and who knows you might just pick up that seed / plant you have been looking for. There is no need to bring anything if you don’t have spares and you can still take what you see during the swap. For June, July and August we will be on the road visiting gardens at our usual meeting time. More details at next meeting and in local press over the coming weeks.

Sympathy:
The death took place recently of Michael Greaney, of Leitrim Middle, and originally Castleisland. Mike came to live in Moyvane in the 1980’s and raised his family in the parish before moving to Listowel. He set up a thriving business, "Fastfix Doors", beside his home in Leitrim Middle. A pleasant, kind and helpful man who enjoyed life and whose family were his number one concern, Mike had no symptoms of illness up to a short time before his untimely death. He is survived by his wife Betty, daughters Marguerite, Catherine, Lisa, and Noreen, sons Kevin and Thomas, sister Nora, and brother Jim, daughter-in-law, sons-in-law, sisters-in-law, brother-in-law and grandchildren. His Requiem Mass was celebrated in The Church of the Assumption, Moyvane with burial afterwards in Ahavoher Cemetery. Sincere sympathy to all his family.
