Kate and William to wed in Kilcorney
While Kate Middleton was getting pampered in preparation for her wedding yesterday, bride-to-be Kate Buckley from Kilcorney in Cork was spending the eve of her big day making sure her dairy cows were milked, fed and happy before taking care of herself.
“I was supposed to get my nails done on Tuesday but it didn’t happen,” explained bride-to-be Kate.
Kate said they got engaged last year around August, and the royal couple announced their engagement a short time after.
Meanwhile, Kate’s fiance and fellow dairy farmer William Casey, from Berrings, was also spending the day farming with his father in Inniscarra.
“Our friends and relatives were sending messages and paper clippings of the royal engagement for a joke, and [read more …] “Kate and William to wed in Kilcorney”

Regional Report 1061 – 26th April 2011
by
Eily Buckley
Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1061 from Millstreet.
Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this lovely Tuesday morning of Easter Week,
Fine weather prevailed all during Holy Week and our Church ceremonies drew attendances like never before. Our Parish church was crowded at 9pm Holy Thursday, 3pm Good Friday, and on Holy Saturday both for the Polish Mass in the afternoon and the Vigil Mass at 9 that night, again on Easter Sunday the crowds came for the 11.30 Mass. And our priests held confessions at every opportunity throughout. Again they were very well attended. Parish Priest Fr. Jack FitzGerald thanked all those who helped in so many ways to make our Easter so meaningful for everyone.
Next Sunday will see the Divine Mercy Devotions in our Parish Church starting with confessions at 2.30 followed by the Chapel of Mercy at 3pm. The Novena which started on Good Friday will end that day. May 1st.
Due to the painting of the Church there will be no choir until further notice.
Rule 2: Talk to everyone, even the dogs
This is part of an article by Ellen Puff on finding her ancestors in Kilcorney which appears on the Tourism Ireland website:
… In Ireland, allow yourself time, even more time than you think you might need, to explore, to talk, and to listen. I am lucky enough to have inherited my father’s gift of gab and my mother’s red hair. So, almost everyone that I met was willing to talk and/or help to investigate my family lines. The Irish love to talk and you never know what you might learn from even the most inconspicuous person. Real talking and listening take time.
Also, driving in Ireland is difficult at best. I rented a car for three weeks and chose to drive because my family’s townlands were literally “off the beaten path” and, after years of research, I wanted to stand on our terra firma. My Shea side of the family was from Carragraigue, Drumtarriff Parish, Cork. [read more …] “Rule 2: Talk to everyone, even the dogs”

Final Two Games
Millstreet Celtic are closing in on winning their division and securing promotion to the next division up. They have two games left, both against the other top teams in the division, and if they can secure 4 points they will definitely be champions, or if they finish on the same number of points as Crescent, there will be a playoff. The remaining games are
- Thursday 28th April 6:45pm: Millstreet v Rylane – Town Park (Result: Millstreet 5 Rylane 0)
- Sunday 1st May 10:45am: Millstreet v Crescent – Town Park
They need your support for the final two games to push them over the line, so get out and support them in the Town Park.
Head Cases Indeed
They must be into drinking lunatic juice or smoking wizzy weed
The Millstreet Town Park vandals are head cases indeed
Perhaps venting their frustration on society
But their vandalizing of a beautiful timber fence does seem all wrong to me
.
The praises of such people none ever do sing
Any honour to their towns their type never do bring

Betting on Bruce
Thursday’s Examiner had a piece on up and coming local dog who looks like making a bit of name for himself:
“Crossfield Bruce, from the prolific Millstreet kennels of Brendan O’Shea (Cockhill), can land heat three of the Seftec NMCI Offshore A4 525 Stakes at Curraheen Park tonight. The selection is an improving sort, boasting a record of two wins from four starts, and can continue on an upward curve. Crossfield Bruce was soon at the head of affairs when scoring in 29.25 at the start of the month …”
Indeed he did land the 525 heat tonight in a time of 29.33, two lengths ahead of his nearest rival. He got a clean break from trap #6, led all the way, and the line came too soon for his challengers. See the video of the race below: [read more …] “Betting on Bruce”
Impressive showing by Kevin Crowley
Kevin Crowley has been given a glowing reviews the for his performance with the Cork Minors in last week’s Munster Minor Football Championship:
from the Southern Star: … Although wing back Keith Crowley, who stood out in the second half, drew first blood for Cork on the turnover ……. and Keith Crowley combined to create the opening for a well-taken goal by Stephen O’Mahony…
from munster.gaa.ie: … when he released wing-back Kevin Crowley — who was an impressive performer on the night, and he skipped past the Clare defence before offloading to O’Mahony who buried a low shot to the net.
