What a Fabulous DAy in Ireland
Its is now 16:57 in the evening and so far to day in Ireland we have had, Rain, Snow, Gale force winds, and, wonderful sunshine. I love this place.
Gorey CS Through to Semi
Gorey CS 3-1 Wexford CBS
Gorey Community booked their place in the semi final following their deserved win in this Leinster Schools Quarter final. Gorey opened the scoring after 15 mins with a well taken goal by Fionn Doyle and within 2 mins stretched their lead to 2-0 when awarded a penalty that was dispatched by Cian McDonagh to the bottom right hand corner. Wexford CBS were handed a life line when they pulled a goal back in the 25th minute. Gorey managed to control the midfield up until half time. After the break both teams found it difficult to get a hold on the game but it was no surprise that Gorey would eventually come up with the goods. With Conor Casserly pulling the strings, Gorey created a host of chances but it wasn't until 60th minute that the pressure paid off when another good delivery from Dylan Moore was eventually put over the line by Darren Brennan. Like the first half, another penalty was awarded to Gorey within mins. Jamie Heffernan stepped up only to have his shot saved well. The draw for the semi's will be made next week. Watch this space.

BERTIE BOLTZ IT
Poor Bertie Aherne had to finally call it a day. It was to a certain extent sad to see the man who along with his party colleagues changed the face of Ireland hopefully for ever. Its impossible to comprehend the intense pressure Bertie was under in the past 12 months. I can't imagine how certain individuals would react if their personnel affairs were dragged through the mud in the manner Bertie Ahernes was. Unfortunately, such was the publicity surrounding Bertie and the Tribunals, he was forced to call it a day. What is very irritating, is that Fine Gael's Enda Kenny, appeared to have one mission and one mission only, to batter Bertie Aherne into submission. Thats fine in one particular sense, but, all other government business appeared to take second stage as Enda Kenny went on an all out frontal assault on Bertie Aherne. Is that what you would call good opposition? That in my view is not how a democracy works. He was obsessed with Bertie Aherne. When I looked at the TV footage of the Fine Gael party standing on the steps of Dail Eireann the day Bertie stood down, I was stunned. With the exception of one or two, Each and everyone of them were unknowns, and that is scary. The fact that none of them have put themselves in the peoples mind's as potential leaders of the country only serves as proof that Fine Gael do not have individuals within their ranks who are good enough to lead the nation and they are content to sit back and launch public tirades at opposition members.
The Hibs News
For all those living at home and abroad, the Hibs are having a good season down the various levels.
The senior side are set to secure their first premier league title as Ron Breen moves them some 11 points clear at the top. Although nearest challengers Ross Celtic sit fourth 13 points behind with 5 games in hand, The Hibs current form suggests the title is on the way to Courtown for the first time. Next game for the lads is a trip to Wexford Bohs on Sunday in the Air Con Wexford Cup quarter finals. Good luck lads.
The second team had a comfortable 4-1 over Wexford Bohs seconds in their Division 3A game with goals from Conor Fortune, Ger Carey, Colm O'Brien and the ageless Paul Swinburne. They now sit fourth in the table and are still in with a chance of promotion.
The Youth team under Pat Misqilla are sitting pretty in the top four.
