Perhaps I Will Never
Perhaps i will never climb Clara again
Or in Spring hear the birds sing in the wind and the rain
When the cool winds of April from the mountains do blow
And the male pheasant in the rushy field does cuck and crow
Perhaps i will never again see the old Paps Of Shrone
Or rugged Gortavehy in it’s face of stone
And hear the [read more …] “Perhaps I Will Never”

Regional Report 1238 – 7th October 2014
by
Eily Buckley
Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1238 from Millstreet. Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this bright Tuesday morning with plummeting temperatures. And a little ground fog.
It was a weekend of high spirits by any standards here in Millstreet. With the mighty Cork 20 International car Rally celebrating its centenary year, with all the thrills and spills of the high speed event. The town was beautifully decorated.
Roads were closed in many places, but nobody complained. The Green Glens was a mecca of cars, and teams to keep the racing cars going, while inside the building there was plenty to attract the children by way of free go-carting, simulators and lots more. Our pipe band was out to add their usual sparkle to the event ,and by the end of the weekend our tired but happy organising committee took a well-earned sigh of relief that all went so well. I want to congratulate them on a wonderful job well done.
Sean Radley was busy with his camera, so look up our website for the pictures.

A record breaking 4 in a row for O’Riordan in the Cork ’20’
Daragh O’Riordan & Tony McDaid took a record breaking fourth consecutive win on the AceSigns Cork 20 International Rally based in Millstreet this weekend. The event which was the final round of the 2014 Clonakilty Blackpudding Irish Tarmac Rally Championship saw O’Riordan win by a margin of over a minute from a hard charging Keith Cronin / Marshall Clarke in second place who were debuting their Citroen DS3 R5 car.
With the championship already won by the non-competing Declan & Brian Boyle in their Subaru Impreza WRC, second place was up for grabs between Monaghan siblings Sam and Josh Moffett in their Fiesta WRC and Mitsubishi Lancer respectively. Josh also had the not so small matter of the Group N championship to deal with and he was just a point ahead of Stephen McCann heading into the final round. The other two championship categories were also [read more …] “A record breaking 4 in a row for O’Riordan in the Cork ’20’”
Stormy weather this evening
The first storm of the winter is coming towards us this evening. The winds have started to pick up already, but by tonight the gusts will be very strong. Be careful and tie down anything that could fly … like trampolines 😉
Put into context, devastating storm of last February had gusts of 65mph around here,so it’s not going to be terrible.

Millstreet 1-11 Kilmurray 0-10. Match Report
Hopes were high amongst spectators from both sides in Macroom last night as Millstreet took on Kilmurray in the County Junior Football Championship for a place in the final in three weeks time. Kilmurray were tipped as favourites for the county even before they got out of Muskerry, while Millstreet were hoping to repeat see some of the fine form that saw them win Duhallow and the grit and determination that saw them beat Glenbower in the last round.
It was the first championship match played under the new lights in Macroom GAA pitch, and conditions were lovely – calm and a cool 8C, but the rain during the day and the muggy conditions was going to lead to slippery conditions during the game. As ever in Macroom there were lots of traffic jams and parking problems before the match, as a very large attendance from both sides came to cheer their side, and there was a real atmosphere of anticipation.
From before the match it was apparent that the Kilmurray lads were physically bigger than the Millstreet lads, but it’s something Millstreet teams have had to adapt to got years so we we figured it wouldn’t be a problem.
Kilmurray were quick out of the blocks with two nice points in the first two minutes, and we [read more …] “Millstreet 1-11 Kilmurray 0-10. Match Report”
