Millstreet Celtic 1 Buttevant 3

We lost 3-1 at home to Buttevant yesterday morning. We started well and had a couple of good chances in the first 15 mins but Tadhg Collins shot just wide and headed over shortly after. The game was pretty even possession wise but we were creating the better chances and almost took the lead on 30 mins. Collins forced a good save from the keeper after being put through by Andrew Roche and a defender got back to clear. We went behind shortly into the 2nd half when we conceded a penalty. The kick was saved but the rebound fell to a Buttevant player. We got back level after 60 mins when Donagh Murphy clipped over a cross for his brother Michael to finish from close range. The game ebbed and flowed after that but we were the ones caught out and gave away 2 soft goals to hand the points to Buttevant. Best for us on the day were Donagh Murphy and Brian Murphy.

Filmmaker who Made an Emotional Connection

The Irish Examiner have today published an interview with Steven O’Riordan on how he got involved with, and his roller-coaster ride with the ladies from the Magdalene Laundries.

“On Tuesday night, a long line of Irish women in their 50s, 60s, and 70s stood side by side on the plinth outside the Dáil.
Each woman held on tightly to the hand of another before they all raised their linked hands, cheering and smiling broadly at the scrum of cameras and journalists standing below them. In the midst of that group stood a young man. From Millstreet in Co Cork, Steven O’Riordan isn’t the son of a Magdalene survivor. He isn’t a human rights activist. He is a 29-year-old who watched Peter Mullan’s film The Magdalene Sisters in 2006, having just graduated from a film studies degree.” – read the full article on the Irish Examiner
