Captain Hannah Rabbitte speaking in Duggan Park, Ballinasloe on Wednesday, 11th July 2018 after league champions Craughwell secured their place in the Duanes Daybreak & Hardware Intermediate camogie semi-finals after a 1-14 to 1-18 win over Kiltulla/Killimordaly.
CAMOGIE: Freaney’s Dozen Gives Craughwell Semi-Final Place
Duanes Daybreak & Hardware Intermediate Camogie Championship – Wednesday, 11th July 2018
Craughwell 1-14 Kiltulla/Killimordaly 1-8
Darren Kelly in Duggan Park
League champions Craughwell took their place among the top four teams in the intermediate championship as they secured a semi-final place in Ballinasloe.
Leanne Freaney struck 12 points with Katie Stephens getting an all-important second goal as they sent Kiltulla/Killimordaly out of contention and into a relegation battle with Shamrocks.
A strange stop-start first half witnessed no scores from play as Freaney and Lorraine Ryan displayed their abilities from the dead ball.

Kiltulla/Killimordaly lost to Castlegar in their opening game and needed a result, starting brightly with Ryan hitting the target four times.
That gave them a 0-4 to 0-0 advantage on 14 minutes but Craughwell were back on par within 10 minutes. It took them time to settle but Freaney’s influence was growing as she sent over four frees, two won by Emma Gaffney, to level affairs.
Ryan put Kiltulla/Killimordaly back in front but Freaney restored parity before forcing keeper Michelle Fergus into a save. Another score from the Craughwell scorer-in-chief gave them a 0-6 to 0-5 interval lead.
The game opened up much better after the restart with both sides allowed to express themselves and Kiltulla/Killimordaly struck the first blow. On 35 minutes, the game’s first from play was a goal as Laura Mitchell picked out Sarah Staunton.
Kiltulla/Killimordaly were back ahead but their lead was short lived. Gaffney got Craughwell’s first open score and on 39 minutes, she set up Katie Stephens who found the net and Craughwell led 1-7 to 1-5.
Clare Monaghan came close to a Kiltulla/Killimordaly goal on 41 minutes that could have saved the tie. Freaney responded with two Craughwell frees putting four between them before Ryan reduced arrears to 1-9 to 1-6.
Another Kiltulla/Killimordaly goal looked essential but Craughwell were applying the pressure as Mary Dunphy and Freaney gave them a five-point cushion.
Ryan and Mitchell did add to Kiltulla/Killimordaly’s tally before the finish but Craughwell were always in control and closed the game out. Freaney brought her tally to double digits before another two placed balls rounded out the result.
With only two teams qualifying from four as opposed to three in previous campaigns, Craughwell and Castlegar’s two wins secured the semi-final spot while they’ll get to test themselves against each other before meeting either Carnmore or Ahascragh/Caltra.
Kiltulla/Killimordaly’s game with Shamrocks will now be effectively a relegation semi-final to see who takes on Kiltormer or Mountbellew/Moylough.
Scorers:
Craughwell – Leanne Freaney 0-12 (eight frees, two 45s), Katie Stephens 1-0, Mary Dunphy 0-1, Lauren Gilligan 0-1
Kiltulla/Killimordaly – Lorraine Ryan 0-7 (six frees, one 45), Sarah Staunton 1-0, Laura Mitchell 0-1

Myah finished just behind Aine in a time of 1.55.08. Oisin Phelan represented the club in the boy’s U13 600m event. Despite a very fast pace race, Oisin fought hard and finished with a PB of 1.50.58.

Glass flood barriers deemed impractical for use along Galway quays
A glass flood protection barrier similar to the one used in the Waterford quay’s would be too expensive for for the length of the quay walls that would need to be covered.
Several councillors raised the idea of a glass barrier when discussing the new Flood Risk Management Plans the council has adopted this month.
However it was decided that, as pleasing as such a barrier would be to the eye compared with traditional flood walls, the cost-benefit analysis doesn’t add up.
A draft of the Flood Management Plans was presented to the city council this month for their approval to proceed.
Under the plans a new quay wall will be built extending along the Spanish Arch, Long Walk, and the Docks. A second wall will be built along the Claddagh Quay onto Nimmo’s Pier.
The final set of flood containment walls will be built along Raven’s place and Eglinton Canal.
Down in Salthill, the plans would make use of existing high ground along the promenade to raise the road level, and create an embankment to stop flood waters from reaching the property line.
In 2012, the Office of Public Works designated 300 areas in Ireland as being at significant risk of flooding.
They specified three areas in Galway in need of Flood Management Plans: Corrib, Galway Bay South East, and Galway Bay North.
Various works in Galway are expected to cost between €1 million and €15 million euro to complete.
During the meeting councillors praised Minister Kevin “Boxer” Moran for his quick response to the flooding in Galway in January.
After visiting Galway in the aftermath of Storm Elanor, Minister Moran promised some €9 million to fund flood protection measures in Galway.
Difficulties with flood barriers
The minimum height for the new walls would be 1.2 metres above ground level. This would provide adequate protection from flood waters, but concerns were expressed about how they would affect the tourist value of those areas.
Councillor Declan McDonnell asked if the raised embankments in the Salthill area could threaten the protected view along there.
There is also the issue of the conserved architecture in and around the Spanish Arch, which would have to be protected.
However City Manager Brendan McGrath said that while he’s sure there will be objectors, he wasn’t going to apologise for doing what’s necessary to protect people’s property.
Acting Senior Engineer with the Council Carmel Kilcoyne said that because neither the Long Walk nor the Docks were the property of the city council, property owners would have to be consulted on any works to be done there.
In addition, care will have to be taken when working on the wall and embankment at Nimmo’s Pier to avoid exposing the old landfill site.
Flood Forecasting
One measure that the plans suggest could improve flood prevention in Galway Bay is developing improved tidal forecasting.
According to the OPW, a twice daily forecast service it makes available to local authorities could provide surge, astronomical tide, and total water level predictions as much as 65 hours in advance.
However, debate during the meeting on the merits of temporary flood barriers revealed that those normal predictions would do little to protect Galway from the kind of flash flooding we saw during Storm Elanor.
Councillor Declan McDonnell had asked whether it would be viable to have temporary barriers that could be erected before a flood and dismantled afterwards, as he had seen used in Germany.
However Ms. Kilcoyne said bluntly that because of the unpredictable conditions on the bay, in the event of a storm like Elanor there simply wouldn’t be time to get the barriers up.
Voluntary Home Relocation
One preventative measure contained in the plans is a Voluntary Home Relocation Scheme, compensating property owners in high flood risk areas to move of their own accord.
Councill Collette Connolly asked if there would be an age limit on what buildings qualified for voluntary relocation.
“The last thing we want to do is reward developers who have knowingly built in a flood zone,” councillor Connolly said.
The Flood Defence Plans, which are still in a very early stage, will be jointly administered by Galway City Council and the OPW.

WATCH: “We Really Wanted To Stay Strong” – Laura Creaven
Laura Creaven captained Cappataggle to their first win in the 2018 Lough Rea Hotel & Spa Senior Championship in Duggan Park, Ballinasloe. They beat Davitts 4-9 to 3-5 in the second round.
CAMOGIE: Cappataggle Back On Track
Lough Rea Hotel & Spa County Senior Camogie Championship – Tuesday, 10th July 2018
Cappataggle 4-9 Davitts 3-5
Darren Kelly in Duggan Park
Cappataggle got their senior championship campaign back on track with their first 2018 win. With Senior B only carrying two qualification slots, Derek Frehill’s team couldn’t afford a second reversal after an earlier loss to Killimor and ensured they picked up the three points thanks to two Michelle Skehill goals and majors for Ciara Lenihan and Becky Gilchreest.
Cappataggle, with Caitriona Cormican back in the starting line-up, struck early but found it hard to shake off a determined Davitts outfit who had goals from Aine Dervan, Emma Rourke and Laura Hanbury.
Skehill and Cormican tallied in the first two minutes but when Antionette Cormican set up Skehill for the first goal on seven minutes, Cappataggle were 1-2 to 0-0 clear.

— Galway Daily (@GalwayDaily) July 10, 2018
Davitts, who began with a four-point win over Pearses, finally got off the mark through Taragh Moloney before an Aine Dervan free on nine minutes reduced arrears to three.
Cormican and Skehill replied for Cappataggle before Dervan and Laura Hanbury combined only to see a Davitts shot run across goal. Moloney’s second score on 20 minutes left it 1-4 to 0-3.
Laura Creaven pointed for Cappataggle before Caitriona Cormican was denied by a Tara Murphy save on 25 minutes. It could have been critical as two minutes later, Moloney set up Hanbury for Davitts’ first major and they trailed by just 1-5 to 1-3.
However, with Skehill pulling the strings, Cappataggle restored their gap as she put Gilchreest through for the second goal on 29 minutes. And when Gilchreest and Claire Blake traded white flags in injury time, Cappataggle led 2-6 to 1-4 at half-time.

— Galway Daily (@GalwayDaily) July 10, 2018
The third quarter saw a complete blackout in scoring as the night sky descended over Ballinasloe and the floodlights were required for the final 15 minutes.
Lorraine Farrell’s free broke the deadlock on 43 minutes but when Moloney played the pass three minutes later, Dervan got Davitts’ second major and they trailed by just one point.
However, lapses of concentration after each goal ultimately cost Davitts. From the next attack, Skehill struck her second Cappataggle major after Antionette Cormican’s run forced another Murphy stop.
The game wasn’t over as Rourke got in for Davitts third goal on 51 minutes leaving it 3-6 to 3-5 in Capptaggle’s favour. But the south Galway side wouldn’t score again. Caitriona Cormican, Lenihan and Aishling Donnellan added for Cappataggle with Lenihan getting the fourth green flag in injury time.
Scorers:
Cappataggle – Michelle Skehill 2-2, Ciara Lenihan 1-1, Becky Gilchreest 1-1, Caitriona Cormican 0-3, Aishling Donnellan 0-1, Laura Creaven 0-1

WATCH: “It Wasn’t Pretty To Watch” – Aoife Donohue
Mullagh’s Aoife Donohue scored a goal as her team beat Eyrecourt 1-8 to 0-7 in Duggan Park, Ballinasloe in the second round of the 2018 Lough Rea Hotel & Spa Senior Camogie Championship.
CAMOGIE: Mullagh Scrap Through
Lough Rea Hotel & Spa Senior Camogie Championship – Tuesday, 10th July 2018
Mullagh 1-8 Eyrecourt 0-7
Darren Kelly in Duggan Park
If Mullagh win the Catherine Donnellan Cup, manager Madge Kennedy will look back on this game as a crucial victory but also one to remind her charges they have work to do yet.
On this display, the 2016 and 2017 county finalists will struggle when they meet the fellow contenders like Sarsfields and Oranmore/Maree later in the season. Mullagh finished with just one score from play and their winning goal carried major fortune.
After a disappointing 14-point loss to St. Thomas, Eyrecourt were given no chance but while Mullagh were the better side in a poor game, Eyrecourt were given plenty of chances and missed the boat a stunning victory.
It was a niggly, frustrating contest that lost its rhythm in the final quarter. Rachel Monaghan sent over a Mullagh free in the third minute and they were expected to hit the peddle and two minutes later, Aoife Donohue was denied by a Louise Corcoran hook and a Susan Earner save.
Eyrecourt opened their account on 12 minutes when Mairead Burke set up Paula Kenny. But while Mullagh were building up wides, Ray Gohery’s team weren’t punishing them with bad misses of their own.
Monaghan added a free before Burke equalised. And on 21 minutes, Sarah Dervan scored a good point over her shoulder to make it 0-3 to 0-2. The county captain and full back got her team’s only score from play!
Burke was Eyrecourt’s free taker and contributed a brace to give her side the lead. However, a penalty before half-time looked to be the tonic Mullagh needed but Monaghan’s shot saved by Aisling Downey before she put over a 45 to send the sides in level at 0-4 apiece.
The break did eventually come Mullagh’s away two minutes after the restart. A long Donohue free from the right dipped underneath the crossbar at the last moment for a goal and she quickly added another placed ball to make it 1-5 to 0-4.
It was a blow for Eyrecourt but they rallied. Burke tapped over a free before Niamh McCormack and Nessa Dolan set up Amanda Lynch on 37 minutes. And on the three-quarter mark, Kenny pointed again to leave it a one-point ball game.
But the stop-start, lack of flow started to spoil the game with off the ball incidents, physical exchanges and frustration with some refereeing decisions. And both teams left with injury concerns as Kenny went off followed a tangle with Monaghan, and Dervan had to be helped off after the final whistle.
The last three points came Mullagh’s way through Monaghan and Donohue (2) while Karen Kennedy had a goal chance near the finish. But Madge Kennedy will be hoping this is their bad game out of the system and thankful they picked up the three points.
Scorers:
Mullagh – Aoife Donohue 1-3 (1-2 frees, one ‘45), Rachel Monaghan 0-4 (three frees, one ‘45), Sarah Dervan 0-1
Eyrecourt – Mairead Burke 0-4 (three frees), Paula Kenny 0-2, Amanda Lynch 0-1

€250 fine for driver fed up with Galway traffic
A Moycullen man was fined €250 in Galway District Court on Monday for reckless driving after mounting a pavement to make a left turn in Galway traffic.
John Madden of Kihlaclogaun, Moycullen pleaded guilty to careless driving following an incident on April 23 last year.
According to an eyewitness, Madden was overtaking vehicles on the left at the Headford road/Quincentennial Bridge junction at around 18:40 that evening.
His Fiat was spotted mounting the pavement in order to overtake the queue of traffic at the lights and make a left turn onto the bridge.
The court heard that a pedestrian even had to take evasive action to avoid being hit.
The pedestrian did not wish to make a statement to gardaí – another witness instead called to make a complaint.
Madden’s solicitor said that his 56-year-old client was “extremely apologetic” and made “an error in judgement” on the evening in question.
He has a full driving licence and has been driving since 1980 with no previous convictions.
According to his solicitor, the defendant also needs to drive for his work at a local business as well as during his 25-minute daily commute to Galway City.
District Court judge Deirdre Gearty said that it was an “extremely foolhardy thing to do” before convicting and fining Madden.
Madden was not disqualified from driving.

Woman stole 19 bottles of wine and 6 cans of beer
An Oranmore woman has been jailed for stealing 19 bottles of wine and six cans of Heineken from Galway supermarkets
Kelly Wall (48), with an address at 63 Oakfield Renmore, was charged with three counts of theft at various supermarkets around Galway, all of alcohol.
One of the charges goes back to 2017, while the other two took place this year.
On August 8 2017, at Aldi in Westside, Wall alledgedly stuck a bottle of wine worth €10.99 under her jumper and tried to leave, but was stopped by security and later arrested.
This year at Tesco in Oranmore on February 13, Wall was accused of stealing 18 bottles of wine from the supermarket, with a total value of €136.80.
And finally on May 28 just gone, Wall attempted to take six cans of Heineken worth €13 from Tesco Express on Newcastle road without paying.
However she was seen by staff attempting to leave and detained until gardaí arrived.
Wall, who pleaded guilty to all charges, received a suspended in June for multiple charges of public drunkenness in a wine-chugging spree, on the condition that she remain sober.
The court heard that at one point she had completed a residential programme at Bushypark Addiction Treatment Centre in Clare, but fell off the wagon six weeks after she left.
Solicitor for the defence Olivia Traynor said that her client has a long history of alcohol addiction and had been homeless for some time.
But she argued that when Wall is sober she’s an intelligent and aware person.
Addressing the court Wall said despite the fact that she relapsed,the treatment programme at Bushypark was excellent.
She said that abuse at work and home had led to her becoming an alcoholic and losing her home.
“I know it doesn’t it doesn’t look like it, but she is trying,” said Ms. Traynor.
Judge Fahy disagreed and said that Wall was only capable of seeing things her way, “She’s manipulative, and she’s gotten chance upon chance at this court.”
Wall received a three month prison sentence for the theft from Tesco in Oranmore.
An additional four month consecutive sentence for trying to steal the Heineken was suspended, and she got a one month concurrent sentence for the Aldi theft.
