Brilliant Colin Healy Features in Soccer Final Victory

Colin Healy pictured today following Cork’s magnificent victory in Limerick. Many thanks to Kathleen for the excellent image.

Sincere congratulations to Millstreet’s wonderfully talented Soccer Player, Colin Healy who today (Friday, 17th June 2022) was a superb member of the Cork U14 Schoolboys League Soccer Team in Limerick winning the highly prestigious Kennedy Cup in the Final with the score of Cork 2 to Waterford 0.   This is the first time in 33 years since Cork has won this very important Final with Roy Keane playing in that match.     How very proud Colin’s parents, Joanna and Derry, must be as indeed his grandparents, Kathleen and Michael Healy of Mount Leader, Millstreet as well as extended Family and Friends.  Every success to the brilliant Colin in the future.  Tap on the images below to enlarge.  (S.R.)

Eily’s Report – 14th June

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a chairde and welcome to my report.

It’s hard to imagine that my next Report (dv) after this one will be on the longest day of the year. June 21. So don’t say that I didn’t tell you that the year is moving on. Moving on it is and we can’t stop it but are we making the full use of the passing days and weeks and months. There is no use in blaming the weather because we can do nothing about it but there are things that we can do regardless. The old saying the It’s better to light a candle than curse the dark, can also apply to the way that we can motivate ourselves into taking on a plan B if the sun don’t shine. God Bless our crowd  of who  headed off on a bus to Donegal on Monday morning 50 plus of them both men and women for four days all organised by our excellent Active Retired Committee. I know they will love it because I went on the very same program a few years ago with a lovely group from Castlemagner. But as I’m not the sit-at-home type I’ve booked a couple of more locally based trips. For a mere €25 the well  known Jerry Lehane will take us on  day trips around the rings of Kerry or Beara and even to Galway and more. He knows all the best places to stop and shop and eat and stretch the legs. In his very own relaxing way. Look him up on our website for details.
