We beat Grangevale 5-1 in the town park to ensure our survival in division 1 for next season. We were poor in the 1st half and went behind in the 20th min. Chances were hard to come by until in the 45th min Shane Dineen won the ball in the tackle and fed Donagh Murphy. Murphy played a ball into the feet of Paul Dawson who controlled it well and fired home at the near post. The goal gave us a bit lift and we took the lead 5 mins into the 2nd half. Dineen played in Tadhg Collins who held off the defender and finished well. We had a number of chances after that but had to wait until the 75th min to get the third.

The top cycling race in the country, the An Post RÁS is on all next week, and will pass through Millstreet on Thursday some time between 12:30 and 1:30pm. Click on the image (right) for the map and times for the day. If you’re about town get out and give them a shout as they whizz by on their bikes.
“… The following day (Thursday), the riders will compete over a flatter 150.2 kilometre race from Glengarriff to Michelstown. Inside the first hour of racing on stage five they will scale the category two ascents of the Pass of Keimaneigh and Gortnabinna, then encounter 100 kilometres of mainly flat roads, passing through Macroom, Millstreet, Banteer and Mallow.
Those hoping to foil the sprinters will try to use the category three climb of Kildorrey to jump clear, but with fifteen kilometres between the summit and the finish, it’s a tough ask.” – from anpost.ie

To get us in the mood for the 2013 Cork 20 Rally which will be based in Millstreet for the first time ever this year we take a look back at footage from some previous Cork 20 Rallies that have been held over the years to see what we have in store for us in Millstreet with the arrival of this event in October.
This time we go back to the 1987 Cork 20 Rally which would be the last Competitive Event that Billy Coleman took part in,driving a BMW M3 Coleman showed initial promise but crashed out in treacherous conditions early in the Rally.
Over the coming few weeks/months we will feature more Cork 20 footage from years gone by in a build up to what will be a Major Event for Millstreet to be held on 4th, 5th & 6th October 2013.

The Taoiseach was delighted to receive a wonderful drawing of the “Bridge over the Boeing” from the O’Riordan children of Dromsicane, Millstreet. Jim O’Sullivan from Castletownbere – the true hero in the overall project – and his family as well as the Millstreet Group were joined by Taoiseach Enda before he left for yet another engagement that night. A special thanks to Jerry Kelleher of Minor Row who is for many years in the Dept. of An Taoiseach – for his outstanding assistance to us at the event. Click on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)
