Tidy Towns Thanks

Molaga Tidy Towns Association held its annual bucket collection last week-end. This is one of two fundraising ventures that the local tidy towns group organise each year. Last week-end’s collection was an outstanding success. The officers would like to thank all those who contributed so generously to the collection over the two days. Thanks also to the many volunteers and friends of the tidy towns association who gave of their time for this worthy cause. As always, all monies raised will be put to good use to further enhance the picturesque appearance of the village as judging time draws near and the busy Summer tourist season approaches.

Photography Success

INSPA gives pupils the unique opportunity to develop new and creative visual images and a platform to showcase their individual creative potential. Conor Creswell was Highly Commended. Méabh O'Sullivan and Guy de Foubert were finalists.

All-Ireland Win For Hannah

Heartiest Congratulations to Hannah Sexton who was a star member of the Cork Camogie team that won the All Ireland Minor A Final against Clare recently. Cork defeated their Munster rivals by 3-15 to 2-12 in a windy Mac Donagh Park, Nenagh.

This is the 3rd All Ireland medal the Sexton girls have won this year. Last month Katie won an Intermediate Camogie All Ireland medal for UL Limerick and Margaret was part of the Sacred Heart Convent Clonakilty Camogie team who also won the Junior All Ireland Camogie final.
