info@eastcorkjournal.ie ‘Classic’ Fundraiser for St Ita’s GAA Youghal Briefs by DENISE FITZGERALD


Members, friends and supporters of St


and Putters Ita’s GAA Club


swopped their Hurleys and Sliothars for Driv- ers


and a small white ball, as


they played 18 holes in Youghal Golf Club on a day which saw Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter weather.


A full


timesheet for the 3 ball Team event showed the tremendous support for this Club, or perhaps it was the


attraction


of the fantastic BBQ on the 5th


hole where


courtesy hot food and cold drinks were served with great chat to all the players! Speaking with The


East Cork Journal, Avril Geary said “This is the biggest fundraiser


each year for the Club, and it


is


well supported. a fun day,


always very It is


there are great


really, and prizes


to be won”. Avril went on to say “We are very grateful to our generous sponsors, as always, for their ongoing support;


to Youghal Golf Club for hosting the event on their fantastic course; to all who helped in any way with the event and especially the many hurlers who braved the long, difficult 18 holes carrying a bag full of heavy golf clubs”!

Cobh Child Geniuses Who are Changing the Internet


Technology whizzkids


from all around the country scooped up well deserved awards at


this


year’s iconic eir Junior Spiders Award winners, which were announced at a ceremony at Croke Park last week. The Awards recognise and reward stu- dents and young adults, aged 4 to 19, for the in- novative ways they use the internet, especially in the areas of website coding, development and design. Colaiste Mhuire from Cobh did exceptional- ly well, winning three awards on the day. Emma Worrall and Kara Buck- ley won in the ‘Best Con- cept’ for the Giga Spiders (aged 13-15 years old) for their project ‘Inspire Yourself with Sport’. “We started by making a home page where we explained the aims of our website which are


to increase


public awareness around the benifits of sport for mental health. We also made a page on mental


illness to bring aware- ness to the most common types


of mental illness


and their facts. We made information pages on De- pression, Anxiety, Bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia, OCD,


substance abuse


and little things you can do to improve your well- being. We realized that many who need to use sport may not know how to work out. For this rea- son we made a page de- scribing an easy workout you can do in little time, we made a video describ- ing the workout. We know that mental illness is not cured through sport so we included the contact details for a number of helplines and organiza- tions that can offer sound medical advice on our get help page. The last thing we did was made an about us page to explain a bit about the eir Junior Spider awards,” the girls said. Rithik


from Colaiste


Mattar, also Mhuire,


won for his ‘Best Individ- ual’ project, ‘Experience is the Best Teacher’. “I made this to inform my family, friends and other interested people


about


my exchange year, and to save and share my experi- ence of the year in a blog. I want to motivate other people to do an exchange especially in Ireland, I had a great


experience


reading blogs from oth- er exchange students last year and felt this was the best way of expressing my emotions.” Colaiste


Mhuire also


came up trumps in the ‘Best TY Project’ catego- ry, as Rebecca Ring and Cian Lynch won with their Ballynacrusha Beef project. “We felt a web- site would be the best medium to showcase our research of Irish Angus beef


farmers, as part of


the Certified Irish Angus Beef Schools’ Compe- tition. Coming from an urban area, we are very aware


of the lack of
