We thank Frank Reen for providing us with a copy of four images of Ballydaly Teams which have direct links with the late Denis Murphy, Ballydaly.   These wonderful photos have been displayed in splendid frames at Ballydaly Community Hall for the past number of years.  We also wish to express our thanks to David Tarrant who was the Trainer of the 1975 Team for alerting us to the historical images.   This Saturday evening (2nd March 2024) the management of the traffic for the Funeral was excellent by the marvellously dedicated Stewards directing one way traffic back Clara Road to the Murphy Family home and returning by Ballydaly Church on to the main Ballydaly-Millstreet road.  Special thanks also to Patrick Lynch originally from Ballydaly and a neighbour of the Murphy Family for his magnificent tribute which he shared on Facebook but which we were also permitted to share on our Millstreet website where it has been widely viewed and much praised.   Here are the four photos of the Ballydaly Teams.  Tap on the images to enlarge.  (S.R.)

Patrick Lynch’s Tribute in Memory of Denis Murphy, Ballydaly

Among the wonderful memories recalled by many of the late Denis Murphy – Patrick Lynch, a native of Ballydaly, shared a very special tribute to Denis which we share here:
“Denis Murphy, our next-door neighbor, was my first boss. Well, not my first boss, that would be my dad, but for sure my first cash-paying boss. 10p per day.
Denis, and his brother Tadghie lived next door, and both were idols to us. They drove Cortinas, had long-ish hair, listened to Mudd and Slade, turned up to Mass fashionably late (and more outrageously, left early), and read ‘The Sunday World’. I wanted to be them when I grew up.
Denis was, and still is, one of my favorite people. Back then, he was a god. He drove a blue MK 3 Cortina, always at considerable speed, later progressing to a blue Mazda 323. We would hear him pull out of his house and in no time fly past our place in a speedy blur of blue.
I have the vaguest memories of Denis and Tadghie’s mom, Hannah, but remember her fondly. Sadly, she passed when I was very young, leaving the Murphy men to fend for themselves. They had the kind of house I could just walk straight into without even knocking, and frequently did. Pat, their dad, was a gentleman. He often made me a cup of tea with some store-bought brown bread, (a novelty for me), and answered my many, many questions.
One evening I popped in and their family friend, Gerry Shovlin, had stopped by for dinner. Gerry was sporting an odd hat, and at one point Denis reached over and pulled it off, revealing a freshly shaved head. Gerry was mortified and we all howled with laughter.
I was in Poland when Pat passed and I remember being terribly saddened. He was the kindest of men.
An early memory (when I would have been about 10 years old) was the day Denis laid the foundation for his home. Denis decided to build next to his dad, though the plot came with the penalty of being slightly closer to the Lynch Mob. That home proved to be a foundation of sorts for me in many ways, and we were really blessed to have neighbors like the Murphys.
On ground-break day, a JCB dug out the trenches, and tradition called for every able man from the neighborhood to turn up, mix concrete, and lay the foundations. To my very young self, this was a huge event. I remember it as a sunny Sunday, with lots of people and tea, and John Corkery and I buzzing around with excitement.

We recently received the following from Patricia Guerin:   “Patricia Guerin would like to thank all those who have helped her out with her appointments during the year.   Mass has been offered for your intentions.   I thank you most sincerely….Patricia”

Patricia also remembers the late Bridget King who certainly enriched all our lives.  Patricia writes as follows:  “In loving memory of a dear Friend – Bridget King – I knew Bridget for a long time.  She had a very interesting life.  She travelled a lot.   She took great interest in people and in her very many Friends.   She appreciated everything that was done for her.  We had a great chat before Christmas and she thoroughly enjoyed talking especially to those from the Millstreet area.   She will be sadly missed by her Family and many Friends.  May Bridget rest in peace.  Patricia Guerin.”

“Say Cheese!” – Upcoming Drama at Millstreet Community School

Millstreet Community School Presents “Say Cheese!”
The TY School Play, a cornerstone of the TY/5th Year experience in MCS for three decades, returns next week, so make sure you don’t miss a fantastic night out. The Show runs from Tuesday to Thursday, 27th, 28th and 29th Feb., starting at 7:30 pm.

The play is a dark comedy in which characters are poised on the knife-edge between hilarious absurdity and hysterical breakdown. It’s described as a “well-wrought, cleverly shaped drama with a keen sense of absurdity”.

The cast, set design and director teams have been working hard and all is coming together nicely, and we’re looking forward to a great Show to continue the fine tradition established in MCS.

(Many thanks to Chris Horan for this very interesting feature….S.R.)
