The Millstreet Community School Senior Soccer team won their third game in the John Murphy Senior Cup competition for under 19 boys. They played their latest game away against Castleisland Community College and won 6-1. Playing conditions were very difficult but this didn’t prevent the team putting on a fine controlled display. Goals scorers were Billy Cronin (a hat trick), Padraig Moynihan, Thomas Walsh and Dylan O’Leary, but it was another great team effort all round.

History was made this morning, as the long awaited bridge over the Blackwater was put in place at Dooneen. Yesterday placement of the span of the bridge (made up of three concrete sections, each 26m in length) met with a blip as strong winds prevented the 360 ton crane from placing the concrete slabs on the previously prepared abutments.
Below are a photos by Michelle of the bridge being put in place, and also a number of photos from around the site yesterday. She was one of a small crowd who had gathered to see this historic link put in place.

The long awaited bridge over the Blackwater at Dooneen met with a blip yesterday Monday when strong winds prevented the 360 ton crane from placing the concrete slabs from being placed on the prepared base. There are three slabs in all each measuring 26 meters in length. From now on the answer is blowing in the wind and as soon as it dies down the mammoth task will be resumed, Le Cúnamh Dé.
