Ploughing Match Postponed

It came as no great shock that the annual Timoleague Ploughing Match did not take place last week. The adverse wet conditions are no great help to competitors who pride themselves in showcasing their ploughing skills for all to see. The Timoleague fixture was only one of many that had to bow to the weather. A more suitable date will be announced shortly.

Tidy Towns Results

The following is a continuation of the adjudicator’s report.

Tidiness and Litter Control: On the day of adjudication, with one small exception at the St Mologa’s statue, Timoleague was litter free. Not onlythat but the streets were clean and free of debris and there was a lack of ‘clutter’ which positively contributed to thespectacular presentation of the village.

The annual National Spring Clean and on-going litter picking by both the committee, volunteers and local residentsare clearly effective. Your new initiative ‘Picker Pals’ is a great idea with a cross generational plan to create abetter environment for a shared future.Well done indeed to all involved. It takes a team effort to ensure there is no litter and it is much appreciated.

Aoife’s parents Mary & Fergus Harrington and her grandmother Ann were also present. Sinéad's cousin Brenda and class teacher Anna Hall were also in attendance. Congratulations to Aoife.
