Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a Cairde and welcome to news report 988 from Millstreet.

Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this rather wintery Tuesday morning.

This is FRIENDSHIP WEEK, so get out there a give everybody a smile or a hug or whatever it is that you do best, to brighten up their day.

A great crowd of friends, family and supporters, attended the celebration party which was held at our Nibbles Café on Saturday night. Eleanor proudly displayed her All Ireland Award as she welcomed her guests. Canon Declan came to bless the place and he was accompanied by Fr Paddy O Byrne.The food was both plentiful and tasty and her winning dish of pear and almond tart was in great demand. And on behalf of everyone I want to wish Eleanor and her wonderful staff every success for the future. Look up the Website for all the pictures .

Duhallow County U21 Hurling Champions

Congrats to Mark Ellis who played a stormer at centre-back for Duhallow last Saturday where they defeated Ballinhassig by 0-18 to 1-5, to win the Cork County U21 Hurling Championship. Also Michael Vaughan, David McCaul and Darren Sheehan were on the panel, but unfortunately they did not get to play in the final.

In the heavy underfoot conditions, Duhallow were always on top of their game, with splendid half-back trio Kevin Mannix, Mark Ellis and ‘man of the match’ William Egan the key formation.

Full match report can be read in Mondays Irish Examiner newspaper.
