Blessed with magnificent weather the Annual School Sports took place at Millstreet Town Park on Monday, 16th June 2025 with many schools enthusiastically participating. Several medals were won by very talented athletes in all the schools. The highest score went to Presentation N.S., Millstreet and the prestigious Cup was presented to the winning school. Judging by the superb atmosphere throughout the various races and different age groups … all the schools had the winning feeling participating in such a cheerful and energetic manner. Here we focus on the aftermath of the exciting day demonstrating the tremendous dedication of the splendid Volunteers who coordinate the hugely enjoyable event in such a professional manner. We also meet the many successful participants with their medals from Scoil Mhuire, Millstreet BNS. Tap on the sixteen images to enlarge. (S.R.)

The Summer Weather came out in force for The Blackwater Valley Vintage Group Summer Car Run held on last Saturday Evening where 75 Cars signed on for
the Event which was in Aid of BUMBLEance Children’s Ambulance Service,the starting point was the Cullen Community Centre where the Bumbleance Ambulance was also on display.
The Cars left Cullen just after 6pm and made there way on a Scenic Route up to Knocknagree and then on to Ballydesmond, Sugan Road,Cordal and over to Castleisland before heading out the Abbeyfeale Road and then turning left and heading up into some spectacular views of the Countryside that brought the Cars down into the Finish at O`Riadas Bar and Restuarant near Ballymacelligott, the weather played its part being most favourable for the occasion where the views on the Countryside travelled never dissappoint particularly on a fine Summer Evening and once we reached the finish this was followed by Refreshments and Musical Entertainment supplied by Sheila Conor Brosnan Barry O Halloran Sheila Heery and Tim Joe and Anne O’Riordan.
At the Finish of the Event the BUMBLEance Children’s Ambulance Service Vehicle was again on display at O Riadas Bar Ballymacelligott and a viewing of this very impressive Vehicle gives a person an idea of the great Work and Service this voluntary group carry out for seriously ill Children.
There was an open draw made before the start of the Run in Cullen for a Shield sponsored by Cork Music Station and this was won by Ray Corkery in his Toyota Corolla.
Blackwater Valley Vintage Group and Event Organiser Declan Ryan would like to thank everyone who came along to the Event, your support was tremendous and much appreciated,a big shout out must go out to the People that helped out on Saturday Evening
