Youghal Ladies Footballers show tremendous heart

THE Youghal Ladies Footballers were in action last weekend at Magners Hill where the opposition were Ballyphehane from Cork City.

The City South Siders were the better side, but that is what is to be expected considering that the Youghal Ladies Footballers are only in their first year and already they are showing great promise.

The selectors must be praised for the hard work and the long hours that they are putting into the teams and fair play to all the supporters who cheered on the girls last Sunday evening.

Youghal had three great scores on the night, the Captain Deidre Cronin raising two white flags from play and a great score from Aoife O’Siochru which was nearly a goal.

Sinead Swayne came close on a couple of occasions and the defending by Faye O’Brien, Jenna White and in particular Jenny Barry was excellent.

All the players must be congratulated for their efforts on the night and the performance of Leah Broderick was outstanding.

All in all there is fantastic potential talent within the ranks of the Youghal Ladies Footballers and a great determination and it takes a few years for a team to establish themselves and with the people in place and the honesty and the determination of the Ladies playing it will be no time at all when the Youghal Girls will be making their mark in their Division.

Youghal Ladies Football Club would like to thank to Alison O’Connor of Youghal Pharmacy who kindly donated two complete First Aid Bags to our Junior & Juvenile teams for the coming season.

This gesture is very much appreciated by the Club and helps us greatly as an essential piece of kit has now been secured. Youghal Ladies Football Club would to wish Alison and all her staff all the best for 2011

Frank O’Brien

Youghal GAA Club would like to extend our sympathies with the family of Frank O’Brien, who recently passed away. Frank was a member of the Youghal Minor side that won the East Cork and Cork County Hurling Championship in 1944, he was a great friend to many here at Youghal GAA Club, in particular the late Paddy Cooney and the President of the GAA Christy Cooney.

He was a regular visitor to the town of Youghal and had a great passion for Greyhound Racing, winning the Irish Laurels with Round Tower Rose at the old Cork Greyhound Stadium and also winning the Tipperary Cup with Round Tower Bill.

People like Frank don’t come along every day. He was a fantastic friend to the Association and a winning County Junior Hurler with Castlemartyr.

A native of Cloyne and a former Fás employee, Frank will be missed by many near and far and Youghal GAA Club would like to make it known that Frank was a treasured friend of the club and a terrific servant to Gaelic Games. May he rest in peace.
