Congratulations is due to Dan O’Donoghue, Lackabawn, Millstreet on his recent achievement of winning the Irish Coursing Club’s “Coursing Fantasy Competition.” This All-Ireland competition requires greyhound enthuasiasts to choose eight greyhounds from a list of hundreds at the start of the coursing season. The dogs earn points throughout the year and the individual with the most points at the end of the season is deemed the winner of the €5,000 prize. Dan, renouned far and wide for his knowledge of coursing greyhounds, held a narrow lead going into the final event of the season, the JP McManus Irish Cup last weekend. After a couple of close buckles and plenty of drama at the Limerick event, Dan was crowned winner on Sunday afternoon following the success of Jeru Cavendish in the continue reading…

From 8 to 9 p.m. this evening on Cork Music Station – the new online radio station established by Cullen’s William Fitzgerald and his son, John – I have the privilege of joining the team of DJs who dedicatedly broadcast the very best of Country-and-Western and Irish music on a nightly basis.   I’ve entitled my hour-long programme “Radio Treasures” where I shall be attempting to share some musical gems, local recordings intermixed with some chat and meeting a Studio Guest.   This first broadcast will include a song sung by John Walsh about the Titanic Survivor, Danny Buckley which we recorded in Boherbue on last Friday night at the official launch of Mike & Leo Fitzgerald’s superb DVD entitled “The Story of Titanic Survivor Danny Buckley 1890 – 1918″.   Lots of other items also which will hopefully make for an interesting radio experience.   Do have a listen to this live broadcast or even part of it if you have time to do so.   Simply log into www.millstreet.ie and click on the Link  entitled Cork Music Station on the right (one needs to scroll down) of the homepage…and there you are in tune with www.corkmusicstation.com – Happy listening!   (S.R.)

We beat Richmond 2-1 in the park this morning to record our 8th league win in a row.
