First day of Summer

Went up to the pitch last evening to give Jim Mitchell and Darren Yourell a hand with the under 14 footballers who are in a shield final this Thursday in Dunganny.
Truth to tell we were lucky to get a place to train.The pitch was chock a bloc with underage camogie players hosting a tournament,another camogie challenge against Trim,under 18 football training,and Senior hurlers and footballers training together as well as our training.
Not a cross word exchanged as everybody adjusted and tailored their needs according to the circumstances.
The under 14's didn't field in the first round of the championship and this is not good.That is why I volunteered to give a hand with them.These young lads are the potential stars of the future and deserve the best.
The numbers of children ,parents and adults present would do your heart good.
For the first time in a month there was a diminution in the harsh wind that has most farmers still foddering in the month of May,which is highly unusual.
Last week my daughter and her husband saw  what they took to be a huge falcon hovering close to the village.They described it as bigger than a hen and smaller than a swan with a hooked beak and a massive wing span.Any ideas?
The previous evening was a bit of a bummer as both Dunderry and Rathoath turned up for a B League Div2 match but no referee.A huge disappointment and no match played.
It's hard to fathom why the GAA and the Government don't get together and devise a system for reward to address this type of thing.You would imagine with 450,000 unemployed one person would be available.
The under 14 camogie team fields in the final this Friday.
Beidh me ann.
