THANKS

University Hospital Tralee has contacted Duagh GAA club thanking it for raising funds through the GoFundMe appeal for Frontline Workers.The thank you note explains how the collected funds will be used by the hospital. Again thank you everybody. single use plastics but making sure any openings were completely sealed to keep our beautiful Kilflynn clean. As the photos came in Ms O’ Connell posted them on the page with some informatio­n on their creations. We let this challenge run over two weeks because of the effort and time it would take. As the scarecrows started to come in it led to more and more. The post reached outside the school community and scarecrows came in from the Tralee and Ardfert area it was fantastic. They were all so different and imaginativ­e. The Facebook page is a great way to keep in touch with the children and the families in these strange times.

Working on the same challenge and seeing pictures of our friends doing the same task we are united while being apart. Maria Cunningham liaised with the families and Pádraig to arrange dropping off and collecting the scarecrows. We were able to use the outside school porch as a drop off point and Pádraig would collect from there at an arranged time. News spread of this little partnershi­p and, as always, Kilflynn village came on board in their droves as sponsors and volunteers. We decided to make it a competitio­n. When the barley seeds were establishe­d and shoots were appearing the scarecrows had served their purpose (until August when they will be put back out in the fields to protect crops again!) they were set up by the school by a team of volunteers to be viewed and judged. They have brought so much joy and so many smiles to passers-by and visitors that came to see them because they look amazing.

Three places were awarded with trophies and every child that entered received a medal. Along with this every family got a fabulous goody bag of treats and a family size pizza delivered to their door by

a team of volunteers under the watchful eye of Mrs Cunningham and Pádraig.

We are asking all vintage enthusiast­s and followers to either take a picture or video with something that captures your love of vintage! Be it a tractor, car, bike, stationary engine etc., or if you have attended our rally, we would love to see some memories of our event down through the years!

Send it here to our page via messenger or email it to kilflynnvi­ntageclub@gmail.com and we will be displaying all entries on the weekend of June 13th/ 14th to mark the occasion! avoid crowding.

Organised outdoor exercise, sporting, cultural or social activities of up to 15 people may take place and it is expected that greyhound tracks will see racing albeit from behind closed doors from the week commencing 15th June. But everyone is still being reminded that the essentials like hand hygiene, respirator­y etiquette and to continue observing the 2 metre social distancing guidelines. Stay Safe.

KILMOYLEY HURLING CLUB

GAA roadmap: The news last weekend from Croke park regarding the safe return to a GAA season was very welcome for Gaelic games enthusiast­s. In a week when the club remembered the 20th anniversar­y of the official opening of the pitch, Pairc Naomh Eirc will now re-open again on the 29th June when Phase 3 of the roadmap kicks in to allow for training to recommence for adult and juvenile teams in smaller groups. Back in 2000, June 4th Kilmoyley welcomed Sixmilebri­dge who later that year became Munster club champions while the Kerry and Galway senior footballer­s played a warm up for that year’s All-Ireland final.

Phase 4 on the 20th July will see all forms of team and group training permitted with club competitio­ns resuming on July 31st. It will be an interestin­g few weeks to see how teams manage these restrictio­ns in preparatio­n for competitio­ns and the build up to the County championsh­ip will have everyone excited again.

CLUB MEMBERSHIP

Club activity this year until now has been very restricted but with the recent Croke park announceme­nt, it means there will be some form of activity for the club. This is great news for hurling followers but of course with this upcoming activity comes additional expense. In order to cover training and related costs it is now urgent for club membership to be collected before the end of June. But with the shorter season, the club is reducing the cost of social membership from €30 to €20 while players membership is being reduced from €60 to €50. Over the coming weeks, the club will make arrangemen­ts for the distributi­on of membership cards. Your continued support is appreciate­d.Juvenile club Skills videosIt’s been a fantastic five weeks for our juvenile hurlers who have enjoyed organised hurling skills, videos and competitio­ns thanks to our club officials, coaches and parents. Since the beginning of May, the club has sponsored a prize of a Shane Brick hurley each week for all those who submitted video skills.

This week alone, over 50 video clips were submitted of hurlers pucking, picking, flicking and batting and there were a number of refuse bins around the parish that got a real going over for target practice. It was wonderful to see such enthusiasm and talent on show. Thanks to Paudie O’Connor who took time out to do the draw and picked out the winning name of Eamon Flaherty who collects the final Shane Brick hurley. Congratula­tions to Eamon, enjoy your prize. All five hurling skills videos can be see on the club’s facebook page.
