Castlelyons Carnival The final preparations


are being made for this year’s Carnival Running from Sunday 5th day 12th


August.

is an Autumn evening in the Church with Cara O Sullivan and Dan Twom- ey, later the sound of the ‘60’s with Art Supple. The whole week is filled up with a Disco and an Active Retirement night, a Road Race, a BBQ culminating on Sunday with a taste of Cork & Waterford Crafts, Food and Health.


Surely


something for all and well done to the organising committee of the Commu- nity Council.


Intermediate team continue preparations for the championship Our intermediate hurl-


ers are continuing prepa- rations for


their next


championship outing not set until Cork are finished with the Senior and U21 All Ireland championships. However, we will be out in September. We have a few lads in both long and short-term injury and it’s the same story with holi- days as we have some over- seas. We played Douglas


senior with a very weak- ened team and got a bit of a lesson early in the week, but it was a good outing for us and in fairness to man- agement they are making a super effort with available resources and this may be our strength later.

the recent death of Donie Coughlan of Lismore and late of Kilbarry, Fermoy. Donie a kind, considerate and most knowledgeable hurling man coached Cas- tlelyons to win our first East Cork JAHC in 38 years when we made the big breakthrough in 1993. He was always a great sup- porter of our club and a friend that many a player could talk with about his game and form. Sincere sympathy also to the Noo- nan Family Kilmagner on the recent death of Jackie Noonan. Solas na bh- Flaitheas ar a nainmeacha go léir. Castlelyons Main Sponsor: ZEUS Packaging Group.
