In Methodist circles February is the time when we especially remember that we are part of a world Church. It is so wonderful to realize that God’s family crosses just about every ‘border’ of nationality, culture, language and race. During February most Methodist Churches specially focus on partner Churches around the world seeking to share our resources with them and also to receive insight, challenge and inspiration from our sisters and brothers in different places. While Methodism is small in this area there are approximately seventeen million Methodists worldwide. This year in particular we are focusing on the Methodist Church in Zimbabwe which continues to faithfully witness to God’s grace in the midst of very difficult circumstances in that land. We are also thrilled that even in our small group in Millstreet there are many different nations represented. May it always [read more …] “Methodist Update – February 2012”
We beat UCC 4 – 1 in the Mardyke last night to record our 7th straight win in the league. We started the game well and had a chance to take the lead after just 30 seconds. Chris Cleary caught a defender in possession and played in Tadhg Collins who shot just wide. I didn’t take us long to find the opening goal though. In the 10th min Barry Lawlor played Cleary in down the left and his cross to the back post was perfect for Collins to nod home. We were well on top now and almost added a second in the 25th min. The ball broke to Paul Dawson in the area but his shot came back off the post. Cleary picked up on the loose ball and played it back to Michael Murphy whose shot clipped the top of the crossbar. UCC drew level in the 35th min after a defensive mix up and despite having another couple of half chances, we went in at the break level. UCC had a good 5 mins at the start of the 2nd half but after [read more …] “UCC 1 Millstreet Celtic 4”

Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1102. Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this lovely Spring morning.
Sadly, this week we mourn the passing of one of our most outstanding people. Willie Neenan, who was born in August of 1933, will forever go down in the history books of Millstreet as being our best ever in the field of athletics.
His sporting career stretched from the age of fifteen, when he became part of the Millstreet Athletic Club to when he won a silver medal, in the world Veteran Cross Country Championships at the age of 50, in Puerto Rico, and still he continued to race and win, well into his seventies.
During his long years in sport he never failed to encourage others to get involved and to train and to become winners too.
The huge crowds that attended his funeral went to show the high esteem at which Willie Neenan was held by his co-athletes as well as our community at large. May his gentle soul now rest in peace as we offer our deepest sympathy to his lovely wife Marie and his family. [read more …] “Regional Report 1102 – 14th February 2012”
This morning on Breakfast with Hector (2FM), Siobhain who works in Alps, Millstreet spoke with Hector about how her pencil at work was getting shorter and shorter every day, even though she wasn’t using it, and she’s trying to figure what’s going on. Listen to it below on the 2FM podcast (from 07:20 to 11:00):
Due to essential water repairs, the supply of water to the Minor Row, Fairfield Rise, Altamount, Tanyard Wood and Drishane Road will experience interruptions from 10am to 4pm today and tomorrow (Tuesday 14th and Wednesday 15th) – from Cork County Council.
Sad the news of the passing of the legendary athlete
Surely the greatest ever in the green of Millstreet
Against the best in Ireland and the World with success he did compete
Yet despite his fame and success he was one without conceit
The marvellous Willie Neenan he was a mighty man
In more than sixty years of running in thousands of races he ran
So humble in his many victories and gracious in defeat
Every time he lined up at the starting line he was the one to beat [read more …] “On The passing Of Willie Neenan”

Do not know how their name of The Diamond Sisters came about
Though of their great talent there is not a doubt
Despite this two attractive women untainted by conceit

Beyond the border of Duhallow’s green old countryside
Wherever they perform joy with them they bring
And no shortage of fans where The Diamonds do sing
