Cork 20 Rally

The Cork 20 Rally which was on last weekend was scheduled to have four stages in the Millstreet area on Sunday morning. Unfortunately the early morning start on Mullaghanish (6:30) was densely fogged with heavy rain, and with driving conditions deemed too dangerous, the first two stages around Millstreet were cancelled 🙁 but the second two Stage 9 & Stage 10 (repeats of the first two stages) were run later in the momrning.

Millstreet Celtic 4 UCC A 1

We beat UCC 4-1 in the park this morning to register our second league win in a row. We started well and had a chance in the 1st min when Paul Dawson played in Barry Lawlor who shot just wide. We kept the pressure up and got the opener after 10 mins. Lawlor swung in a corner which was met by Tadhg Collins. His header was blocked on the line but Dawson was waiting to slot home the rebound.

On Talking To Jerry Moynihan On The Phone

I met this Father Sweeney his ancestors from Millstreet
And he said I know a person you might like to meet
His name is Jerry Moynihan a Millstreet man like you
Though he’s been in Australia since nineteen fifty two.

I know his brother’s Mick and Larry from many years ago
And his younger sister Fanny is one I vaguely know.
