Deise Super Draw: Is going ahead on the 4th of November. Could any outstanding monies please be handed over to ones promoter over the weekend. 

 

The Championship without a Pulse: Watching a few games over the weekend and while both were high scoring it doesn't  mean that they were necessarily good . The empty stadiums have taken some of the soul and atmosphere out of the games. They seem like glorified league games but the players can only play what rules and regulations are in front of them. Waterford play Cork this Saturday on Sky Sports Mix (yes it sounds like a bag of sweets) or WLR and there is no form guide going into it and people are totally unsure what to expect of us. A win here were be huge to the team.

 

I was given a picture and a letter this week that I said I would share. The letter is an invitation for Mick Curley to play for Ireland in London. The competition I'm unsure of (possibly the Tailteann games) played in London, sometime in the thirties

The letter went as follows.

 

M.Curley esq.

GAA Tallow,

Co Waterford. 

 

A Chara,

 

             As you are aware, you have been picked to play with the Irish team in London. You are to travel to London on Saturday morning next. I enclose two tickets: one for Tallow on Saturday morning and one from Waterford to London. You can travel on the Dunlaoghaire boat on Saturday evening, the train may go on to Dunlaoghaire. Anyone at the Kingsbridge station will tell you what train to get for the boat, if your train does not got to Dun Laoghaire.

The remainder of the players will be on the boat and you will be accompanied by an official. Please bring two hurleys along with you. You may return on Monday evening as you desire.

 

Mise, le meas,

P O'Coaig.

Runaithe.

Tallow GAA 8th September 2020

Painting:  Amazing what a few bodies can do.  We made a lot of progress and with the same effort next week we could be near completion.  We are back again this Saturday at 9.30am.  Everyone is welcome to come and give a hand, so please do.

Junior Football Championship: Tallow 0-7 Affane 3-.7
We played our first game of this years championship in Ballysaggart on Saturday evening last.  Inside two minutes Ryan Grey opened our account with a lovely 35 yard right footed shot central of the posts.  Affane processed to cut down the heart of our defence and score a goal in response four minutes later.  Jordan scored a great forty yard point on the left side of goal in response added to by Kieran with a tidy point just before the first water break.  I thought at this point there were some similarties to the Dublin Donegal semi of 2014.  We had scored three great long range points and for us to win we would have to score closer to the goal as like Dublin in that game the long rangers won't last (they didn't).  On the resumption we played and error prone brand of football.  Our foot pass and hand pass were over or under cooked and we spurned a goal chance that fell to the bloodied Shaun O'Sullivan.  Affane punished our fouling with pointed placed balls to go two points up before Jordan answered with a long mazy run with a big punt kick that wouldn't look out of place in Aussie Rules. 
Indiscipline again handed Affane another score just before half time and as referee Thomas Walsh blew his whistle to end the half with Tallow trailing 0-4 to 1-3 playing with a nice breeze

G.A.A Notes

Treasurer: The sad passing of Maireád Sheehan and her lifetime of service to Tallow GAA has left a huge vacuum.  Nowadays (pre Covid) all you heare are stories of people being very busy and unable to give up theri time.  The club has been without a treasurer since Maireád's passing and it was vital we filled that role quickly.  We are delighted to say that Kieran Geary has stepped into the breach.  Coming from an academic business background Kieran has an astute grasp of figures and gives full committment to anything he does.  So we are delighted to have him onboard. 

Tús Scheme: Brendan O'Dowd's term is up in August.  Brendan did trojan work in the field and went out of his way to keep the fields immaculate.  It would be great if the scheme could be updated and the terms extended to enable people to stay on and do the job they enjoy.

Membership: Everyone who has paid their membership before the 1st of August will be entered into a membership draw, prizes to be confirmed.  Those who have paid prior to Covid 19 will be contacted

Membership as follows:

Player €50

Player + Partner €55

Non Player €30

Non Player + Partner €35

membership can be handed to Billie-Jean Sheehan

 

Munster Championship: Cork awaits in the Munster semi final.  What kind of a crowd will be allowed to go and will go is anyone's guess!

Notes from Tallow

Fixtures : With fields opening earlier than expected and championship been given the green light in club format to start from the middle of July, the county board in their wisdom have given clubs some breathing space and put the fixtures forward alleviating the pressure that the original format had on clubs. We start our campaign against Ballygunner on Friday 24th July at 7.30pm in Fraher Field. The following week we lock horns with Passage in Fraher Field on Sunday 2nd August at 7pm.

 

Club LottoUnfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to recommence the club lotto as originally planned on Monday last June 29th. We hope to get this resolved as quickly as possible and will update as soon as we have a restart date. All tickets bought for the last scheduled draw will be included in the next draw.

 

Congratulations: to Stuart and Aileen Barry on the birth of their son Gavin at the weekend.

 

Comhbhrón: CLG Tulach an Iarainn extend its sympathy to the Henley and Geary families on the passing to her external reward this past week of Bridget. Peter and Bridget have been living in Aghada in East Cork for many years with their family but have always had a close contact with their former homes here in Ballinaha and Tallow. May her gentle soul rest in peace. We extend our sympathy also to the families of the late Dermot Bolger (Conna and Ballyduff) whose tragic accident has shocked the entire area. Our sympathy also to Denis Geary Ballyduff and formerly of Janeville Tallow. All very popular and well-liked people in their communities.   Bealtaine an tiarna deontas luach saothair síoraí dóibh.

Club Lotto: Due to the Covid 19 lockdown our regular Lotto was suspended, as the next phase of restrictions are lifted on June 29th we plan to start the lotto once again . All tickets sold before the lockdown will be drawn on Monday 29th. This will be videoed live on Facebook from our clubhouse. Tickets will go back on sale on Tuesday 30th from all promoters . Your support is greatly appreciated in these times.

Fixtures: We have been drawn in a group of three with Ballygunner and Passage. Ballygunner up first on the 1st of August and Passage four days later on the 5th. A very quick turn around. We could crib and moan about the time between games but we just need to get on with it! 

September is down for football so I would think that the juniors will be in action then.

COVID-19: So week one of shutdown has elapsed. Strange when you see that field is getting it's first cutting and the nights will be getting longer and no activity in the field. To any club members that have to self isolate, we hope that when the epidemic ends one can shake hands, talk closely or even give a hug to those. Everyone has to listen to the HSE guildlines. Feel free to use to the field but it has to be with family members. 

Help Needed: If anyone in the community is in need of help during the crisis feel free to post on the Tallow GAA Whats App or Tallow GAA Facebook and we will do our best to help. Anyone older who hasn't access to this should try and contact someone in the club and we will try to resolve it.

Johnny Geary Interview Part 3:

"The Meadowfresh Man"

He ran, he rattled, he pulled, he tackled, he's the meadowfresh man.

America trekking, a session a becking, Kilruane ah feckin!!, he's the meadowfresh man.

The aggro's a batting, Portlaw selector could get a flaking, he's the meadowfresh man.

Natural colour hair fossil, we know it's the bottle, he's the meadowfresh man. 

PRO: Erin's Own in the county final. A much altered Tallow team from the ‘85 final team... 

 J.G.: Yes after relegation in 86 we reached the 87  Intermediate co Final against Erins Own in Walsh Park. Erins Own had Damien Byrne and Chuck O Connor both top intercounty men at the time. We struggled to get the win but did in the end. It was a very different team from the 1984/85 team with a few players retiring and a number leaving the club. 

PRO: Upon promotion we played in four consecutive semi finals. We lost each one to the eventual County champions. Regrets? 

J.G.: I think we probably should have won 2 of those and probably should have won another Co title with that team but it wasn’t to be. 

PRO:I remember your later days. The shin guards; the belts! A game in Abbeyside against St Saviors around 96...  You were stretched....

J.G.: Yes unfortunately as we got a bit slower Fada we were getting a bit more prone to picking up injuries so I had a good few in those years. I decided it was time to call it a day soon after that, I still played a bit of Junior when they needed a few bodies. 

PRO: How competitive was the Tallow team when you retired? 

 J.G.: We were reasonably competitive, probably mid –table but  had fought relegation for a few years to remain in the senior ranks.  

PRO: Did you play much football for the club? 

J.G.: Yes played a lot of football at under age and we won a lot of football titles in those years. We never really concentrated on Football in Tallow It usually provided a break from the hurling but would have had some good players down the years but I think we were a forgotten outpost when it came to selection on inter county underage teams. 

PRO:You have had a go at management. How has it altered from your earliest times to your most recent? 

J.G.: When I finished hurling in the min  90s I got involved with the management end of it with the seniors and was involved for 2 other stints the last being 2016/ 18. I found it completely different this last time ( probably my age ) I'm not sure is it as enjoyable anymore from players and management point of view and there is now huge commitment involved with a much higher fitness level. Unfortunately the fixtures structure is chaotic – starting training in Jan for possibly one Championship match at the end of March, early April and not playing Championship again till July /Aug. Players train to play matches and the enjoyment of that, not wait in the wings for Inter-county fixtures to finish. I think it is something the GAA need to address or players will find sports with  more structured outings. It is also putting huge financial burdens on Clubs paying trainers etc for this extended period. 

PRO:You had a fairly hairy encounter on the line against Portlaw in 01 in a relegation game. What happened?

J.G.: Ya, lets just say there was a bit of a misunderstanding on the line with a few Portlaw men when things were getting heated both on and off the field. I think we met up a few years later and had a few pints and a good laugh about it. 

PRO: What are you future hopes for Tallow GAA in the coming years both on and off the field? 

J.G.: Tallow was always recognised as a good hurling parish and always has decent hurlers. I hope we can put the structures in place to get the best out of what we have and compete at the best level we are capable of. We are short on numbers but if we can get a few quality players coming through every year  ultimately you would love to see another senior hurling championship come to Tallow. We are amalgamated with Shamrocks at under age as Cois Bhride who are currently doing a lot of work at underage and there is tremendous work also being done by Neil Moore, Tommy Ryan and Tieran Murray at schools level so hopefully the future will be bright. 

PRO: Finally who was the best player you played with and against?

J.G.: While John McDonnell and Tom McSweeney were very “Sweet hurlers” I think Liam O'Brien was the pick of the bunch I played with him when he eventually got going (which could take a belt from the opposition or one of ourselves.)  Pat Ryan of Mount  Sion or Eamon O Shea of Kilruane McDonaghs /Tipp were probably the best I played against. 

  PRO; Your best Tallow 15 that you played with ?   

J.G.:                            

                                                        Martin Murphy

Mairead Sheehan: Sadness struck Tallow GAA circles on Monday night last when we discovered the ultimely death of our treasurer Máiréad Sheehan. The one word that I would associate with Máiréad is longevity. She acted as treasurer of the club from the mid nineties on. When the financial side of club became more like a business Máiréads vigilance and astute bookkeeping always had our accounts in order. Her loyalty to Tallow could never be questioned and even in ill health she continued to act as one of the front bench of the club. She was part of the lotto committee and was a Monday night regular for years. Her GAA heritage was always ingrained in her blood and she carried her fathers All Ireland hurling medal as a brooch a symbol of great pride to her. To the Sheehan family we wish to extend our sympathy on the passing of Máiréad . Beannacht Dé lena anam uasal.

Here is the eulogy from her funeral mass as read by Jimmy O'Gorman.

A dark cloud descended over Tallow and the surrounding area on Tuesday morning last when the news broke that one of it's most highly respected residents Mairead Sheehan had unexpectantly passed to her eternal reward. We all know that we are saying our final goodbye to a devoted family person, a great friend and neighbour and an outstanding servant to the community.

Mairead was born in Convent Street in 1947 into a family of eight to Billy & Eily Sheehan, her brothers Sean, David, Billy, Noel, Pat and Tim and her younger sister Bernadette. Unfortunately the passing of her eldest brother Sean, younger sister Bernadette and dear friend and sister in law Nell affected her deeply. She always spoke of them with fond memories, no doubt they are now once again reunited.

Throughout her lifetime, Mairead remained what she always was, a Tallow person through and through, a woman so very proud of where she came from, a woman who in a whole variety of ways, did everything she could do to further and promote her home place. Never was that more manifested than through her involvement with the GAA club, which stretches over a number of decades and which has now only ended through that final call from the man above.

Almost from her infant years, the spark of genius that would subsequently manifest itself in both work and sport was there for all to see.

On finishing her education at national and secondary level, Mairead took up employment in Dublin, firstly working in Arnotts before joining the civil service. Of the many projects she was involved in, in this sphere, Glenveigh National Park in Donegal was her pride and joy and also the developments of Kilkenny and Cahir Castles and their surrounds to name but two.

During those years in Dublin, Mairead was a proud member of the Waterford Association and was the first secretary of that branch. Many locals who ventured to Dublin during that period for matches in Croke Park, when money was not as flahul as today, were glad to have a roof over their heads in Mairead's flat for the night before and after the games. It wasn't unusual to have 20 people sleeping on the floor as first back from the pub got the couches but were damn glad of the cover for the night!!

Her nephew Conor is presently secretary of the Waterford Association in Dublin and so continues the family link.

Whilst in Dublin, Mairead was also a playing member of Terenure Tennis Club and on the social side of things, the table tennis club. Her other hobbies included Camoige, which she played in her younger days and Mairead also loved swimming and quizzes. There was hardly a weekend went by during the working year when Mairead would return home on a Friday evening to return to Dublin late Sunday evening, the car invariably full with locals returning to the capital when transport was at a minimum.

It's almost 30 years ago as Mairead's mam got on in years, she decided to return home. She transferred from Dublin to the CSO Office in Cork and around that time, took up officer ship in Tallow GAA. Mairead was an outstanding treasurer and would literally mind mice at the crossroads where money was concerned, she was extremely prudent and realised how difficult it was to finance the many activities of the year. We have a Sean Ochal which goes: Ní Bheidh a leitheid an aris, which is certainly true to Mairead as treasurer of Tallow GAA Club.

Being a true community person, Mairead's activities weren't just confined to GAA. She was a tireless worker on behalf of many, a staunch worker with St Vincent de Paul, her work carried out with the greatest privacy and dignity, she loved the community centre and all it entailed, drama and pantomime and never missed the Ballyduff Drama Festival, which is currently running and no doubt Mairead would have been present at all this week's performances. Mairead was also treasurer of the local Credit Union for many years and involved in the local active retired Group and more recently took up the positiono of treasurer in the newly formed Tallow ladies Social Group.

One of Mairead's most treasured possessions was her father's Waterford Junior Hurling All Ireland winning medal of 1934. A special medal was commissioned that year being the 50th anniversary of the founding of the GAA and boy did she wear that medal with pride all her life.

In every parish there is no doubt a person like Mairead Sheehan who contributes to an active and vibrant community, always positive in her approach to the many facets of her busy life.

The people of Tallow will be all the poorer for Mairead's passing but the richer for having known her and worked alongside her in the community.

I conclude this tribute with a heavy heart having known the Sheehan family for over 6 decades and spent many a happy hours company of Mairead's late father Bill and Uncle Pa at several club games analysing the standards and listening to the stories of some of the characters playing our treasured games on the banks in Lismore, Cappoquin and Fraher Field. Stories and memories I will treasure for years to come.

The Sheehan family would like to sincerely thank all those who attended and sympathised with them during recent days especially those who travelled long distances to do so in support of Mairead.

So Mairead, you have prepared your final treasurer's report and you did so. as you always did, in a professional and dignified manner. You leave behind a legacy that all of us would be proud of, a legacy that will stand the test of time. May the rich soil of the town you loved so well rest gently on you. Slan leat ma soar chara agus go niri an bothar leat. Ar dheis de go raibh a anam deilis…...

Tallow GAA wish to sincerely thank Jimmy O Goerman for the lovely words above and for encapsulating in his words the sentiments of everyone from Tallow GAA who worked alongside Máiréad.

Pandemic : The Corona Virus has struck a fear into the country and an air of uncertainty have developed in the landscape .

The GAA are imposing a blanket ban on all GAA activity .This means no games, trainings,meetings , collective gym sessions.until at least March 29th. Tallow GAA will be adhering  with this and no activity will take place from now until the blanket ban is lifted.

An té nach bhfuil láidir, ní foláir dó bheith glic.

We also got this from Alan Milton from the GAA .

A chairde, 

Can you ensure the note below is circulated to all of your County Team Managers and players and passed on to Club Secretaries to be shared with their Club Managers and players too. 

Le meas, 

Feargal 

A chara, 

The GAA's Medical, Scientific and Welfare Committee, the Gaelic Player's Association and the Gaelic Athletic Medical Association (the representative body for Team Doctors) wish to stress the crucial importance of all players and team personnel adhering strictly to HSE guidelines in relation to social distancing and other aspects of the current Covid 19 pandemic. 

In practical terms, this means the following: 

  •  Players should not congregate, even in small numbers, for training sessions. 
  • Indoor shared Gym facilities are to be avoided, as such environments pose considerable limitations on a users ability to adhere to both 'Social Distancing' and contact transmission guidelines advised by the HSE. 

Team managers, backroom personnel and players at all levels have not only a duty of care to each other but also to the wider community around them at this time.

It is expected therefore that County and Club teams across the country will adhere to both the letter and spirit of what has been asked of them at this challenging time. 

Le meas, 

Dick Clerkin (Chairman, GAA Medical Sceintific and Welfare Committee)

Paul Flynn (CEO, Gaelic Player's Association)

Dr Sean Moffatt (Chairman, G.A.M.A)

Tallow GAA Lotto Supported by Kearney's Restaurant.

As pubs in Tallow have decided to close their doors at the weekend Tallow GAA have decided to postpone this weeks lotto. All existing books of tickets will stay with our sellers and we will carry out the draw at the next available date.
We would like to thank you all for your continued support and hope you understand our decision.

I was going to write a piece about fixtures and leadership from the GAA following on from last Thursday's announcement but truth be told it matters little when one looks at the big picture. I hope citizens looks out for each other in the correct medical advised manner and that we as a nation can surmount the big challenge that lies ahead. Be kind, be practical and be safe and we hopefully with the help of God can pull through this. 

Robert Zimmerman wrote

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm.

Let's hope that the shelter arrives.

Senior Hurling League : We open our campaign against Ballysaggart this Sunday at 11.30am in Ballysaggart.

Where's the Logic? Championship weekend, a weekend of great excitement for both player and supporter but how about this for a predicament ! The county board in their deranged wisdom have decided to play junior hurling and senior hurling championship on the same day. Now look at the logistics of this. Clubs would need two sets of jerseys for the same day. They expect supporters to go to two games in different venues. Now not all clubs have a volume of players, so there is in all likelihood at least some of the junior players being close to starting senior who will have to tog out for two games and could if required be involved in both. Where is player welfare here ?  You also have management of both, hurley and water carriers and medical officers having to attend both and not having full concentration on their sole focus which should be one game. We have a paid secretary in this county and  the broader thinking should be on the club player rather  than the county man. They too added the cost of buying bibs for the sideline now which must be numbered. These were handed out to teams on previous occasions so what has happened to these?

Pairc Eamon De Paor : U14 football Cois Bhride v Kilrossanty 11.30 am Sunday .  Ned Power Tournament is on again this Friday in the astro turf on Friday at 6.30pm.

Deise Draw : The tickets will be handed out to promoters over the next week or so. A six month draw with a chance to win €12,500 each month as well as other prizes . It's €15 a month or €90 for the year. A vital fundraiser for the club with €10.50 retained by the club and remainder going to the running of the Waterford county teams. We had a jackpot winner last year in Maura Bermingham .

Johnny Geary Interview Part 2:

PRO: The Tallow team of that time was made up of four  prominent underage age groups. Late sixties ,early seventies, mid seventies and your group the early eighties. They gelled together well?

J.G.: Its debatable if they gelled  WELL together but they gelled OK . 4 players came from the 83 u 21 winning side on to the senior the following year , Jim O Donoghue , Philly Curley , Pat Murphy and myself . Philly always told the older lads on the team that we gave them legs and the bit of speed they were lacking ( something they never really agreed with us on ) but we did go on to win 2 seniors in 84 and 85 so I presume what Philly said held a lot of truth. 

PRO:You played on the two in a row team of 84 and 85 . Was it difficult to break on to that team?

J.G.: Yes it was difficult Ok . They had a lot of very good hurlers at that time , all who would have played county at under-age and a number who were on the county senior panel . You had the likes of Liam O'Brien , John McDonnell , the Curley  and  Ryan brothers , Pat Daly , Mick Beecher , Timmy Sheehan all good players so it was wasn’t easy to break on to the team and it was very competitive for places .  

PRO: A lot of Tallow men gained intercounty experience for Waterford at this time, including yourself. What do you remember of that ? 

 J.G.:yes I think all of our senior team at that time would have played intercounty at some level at under age . I remember playing U -21 against Cork in 82 and we had  6 from Tallow on the team including Con Ryan, Mick Beecher , John Fitzgerald , Philly Curley, Pat Murphy and myself .  We would have had Liam O Brien, Eddie Curley , Connie Curley , Mick Beecher , Timmy Sheehan , Pat Daly , Pat Murphy , Kieran Ryan , Philly Curley who all played Co senior at some stage . My Intercounty career was pretty short – the highlight being a defeat by Roscommon in Roscommon in a League game  –I think it made Front Page news on The Roscommon Herald the following week .. 

PRO: The centenary final, the new jerseys and the rain....  Losing to Ballyduff by eight points at half time!  Continue...

J.G.: In the Centenary Final in 84 we played Portlaw and had a new set of Centenary Jerseys for the occasion. . It was played in Fraher Field . The forecast was for heavy showers on the day so when we togged out we went out for our warm up while it was still dry . When we completed the warm up and were back in the comfort of the dressing room, there was a cloud burst and Portlaw had just gone for  pre-game warm-up and they got absolutely drenched .We had 2-3 on the scoreboard in the first 8 minutes . I always thought that heavy rain had a huge bearing on the final result.. The following year we played near neighbours Ballyduff in an All Western final in Fraher Field . Ballyduff totally outplayed us in the first half leading by 8 points at half-time . A few switches at half-time and an early goal in the second half brought us back into the game and we went on  to snatch victory at the end. There was a huge rivalry with Ballyduff in the 80 s where they won 2 county titles and we won 3 in the decade but also huge respect that I think is still there to this day. 

PRO: The team was at the peak of it's powers in 85 I would think. You played Roanmore in a county semi final, Tallow scored 4-16 with 4-14 coming from play. The ultimate performance?

J.G.: Yes that performance was probably the best from that team and there was nothing in it in the end. Roanmore were the emerging force in hurling in Waterford going on to win 2 co titles in the late  80's.  

PRO: The eighties was a bleak period for the country. Mass emigration and unemployment! You and fellow Tallow hurlers spent times in the states..

J.G.: Yes Unfortunately there was very little work in Ireland in the late eighties so it meant a lot of young men and women had to emigrate to find work . Through the connection with Micky Pendergast in New York it was the choice of most Tallow people to head there and The UK . Micky was a great Ambassador for Tallow and Waterford in New York and did a huge amount of work for emigrants in setting them up in accommodation and jobs on arrival . At one stage there were 18 people from Tallow in the one Apartment Block which was christened: “ The Tallow Towers “ . A lot of us played for Waterford in Gaelic Park in those times.  

PRO: Kilruane MacDonaghs in Tallow! Full House!. Munster club championship in our home venue! Lost by a point! They won the All Ireland..... 

J.G.: I think it was one of the highlights of Tallow GAA over the years –playing in front of 3000 people in a Munster Club Championship at our home venue . It was a cracker of a game that could have gone either way , unfortunately we were beaten by a point by the eventual All Ireland Club Champions 

PRO: How much of an affect did that loss have on the 86 season? 

J.G.:  I don’t think it really affected the following year . We were going for 3 in a row and were probably a bit complacement and didn’t prepare properly for the earlier rounds .  There was a new Championship format that year which was now run on a league basis .We lost a few of the earlier rounds and all of a sudden we were in a situation where we couldn’t qualify for the next stage so we were out of the Championship and in a relegation battle which we lost and were relegated to Intermediate .  

PRO:We beat Fourmilewater in the 87 western intermediate final. The cup was named after Raymond O'Brien... 

J.G.:Yes Raymond O Brien was an a great hurler who unfortunately died tragically at the age of 22 . He had just began to establish a place on the Waterford Senior team and had huge potential . It was great and fitting to win his Memorial Cup in 87.

Bon Voyage to two our players this week in which Kieran Fraser and Martin Murphy who have both emigrated to Australia . Both have spent countless hours in the gym over the last few months in what we thought was preparation for this years championship but it turns out to be getting the perfect beach body for Oz. We hope they have a safe and peaceful time on their travels and return to these shores soon.  

The Rules: There is plenty of debate recently in the subject of officiating in hurling. Referees are getting a lot of flack over over fussy decisions. I actually don't blame them, I'd blame the referee's assessors. They seem hellbent on stopping free flowing hurling and pulling up every technicality. Little taps from a hurley shouldn't mean a free and if they are going to maintain that and on referees who blow on swinging hurleys that are going for the ball they will make it a non physical sport. 

Waterford had a fine win at the weekend. If they qualify for the later stages of the league they is a fair chance that one of our championship game could be changed but why not put it on the following week. The county management team will have an extra week if Waterford progress so if they have that give the club teams a week that they weren't getting. A notice on such an event could be put into action as we speak.

Trip North : Going back to 1996 when a contingent of U16 hurlers lead by Seánie Sheehan, Colin Cunningham, Finn McCarthy, Tom Doyle, Rachael Ryan and Johnny Geary travelled to the Ulster province and to the Tyrone club Naomh Colum Cille, Tallow has always had a good relationship with the Tyrone hurling club. We were last there in 2006 for the official opening of their field by then president Nickey Brennnan. The same occasion was sandwiched between our senior relegation game and replay against Ballyduff Lower. So Liam Mulcahy the President of Naomh Colum Cille (surely a lifer in East Tyrone) is looking at getting a collection of junior hurlers to travel to the North . The approx cost will depend of numbers but it will be between €150 and €200. Price will include bus, accommodation, and a meal on arrival.  We are looking for a €50 deposit by the weekend. Contact Liam or Terence if interested.

This week I asked William Murphy about some of his favourite Tallow games that he remembers. William I remember started his career in the full forward line and took the frees. A stylish markman off his right his left was used in emergencies only. He moved out the field as he got older to play to play centre field and as a roving wing forward. In his only adult title for Tallow he won a Junior Football county title in 2010 as a wing back who's jaunting runs were his trademark. Here's his account.

At the risk of sounding like an ex Inter County bainisteoir, Charles Dickens started A Tale of Two Cities with “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”, this is what came to mind when I was asked to write about a couple of my favourite games. I find myself fortunate enough to witness the best of times with Tallow GAA but unfortunately for myself I played through some of the worst of times.

“What’s the best game you ever saw” is a question which inevitably always comes up on a night out with the boys. Most will shoot back with the obvious answers of Waterford versus Cork in the 04 Munster final or when the drought had ended in 2002 against Tipp. Mine is slightly different, the best game I ever saw was the Munster Club Championship game between Tallow and Tipps’ Kilruane MacDonaghs in 1985. A strange game to pick seeing that Tallow would end up losing an epic battle by 1 point. The Guardian reported: “It was a quality game throughout, but the tension and excitement heightened to almost unbearable levels in the last eighteen minutes when both sides raised their game to a spectacular level of skill and determination that is not often witnessed”. It probably gets the nod for several reasons, 1) The game was on in Tallow which was huge and the excitement leading up to the game and on the day was electric, 2) I grew up watching great Tallow teams in the 80s absolutely dominate the County scene. Tallow were to Waterford hurling what Liverpool were to English football, luckily for me I supported both, a great time to be alive!!!! 3)These were different times for instance The Sunday game was still only showing All Ireland finals and maybe semi-finals  live every year unlike today where there is probably an over saturation of games being shown live on TV which meant that people got their fix of hurling by flocking to club games and on that day in Tallow the crowd was massive. Looking back, I think that was the pinnacle for the Tallow teams in the 80s and a case of what might have been, Kilruane would go on to be crowned All Ireland champions in 1986, Tallow would be relegated from Senior the same year, “A Tale of Two Cities” indeed. As a side note Kiruane were managed by Len Gaynor and well renowned and much heralded Tipperary hurling coach Eamonn O’Shea was part of the team that day.

Road Bowling

John Shorten won the Sean Hegarty Shield at Tallow on Sunday after a sensational bowling contest against Mick Hurley of Aghern.

The competition was sponsored by Liam Barry of BH Tree Services and commemorates the late Sean Hegarty one of Tallow’s top bowlers. Shorten now progresses to the Séamus Murphy Cup at Knockanore on Sunday 23. The winner of that will qualify for the John Cronin Cup at Churchtown South on St. Patrick’s Day.

Both players bowled to their limits. There was never more than 25m metres between them from start to finish. Hurley looked to be gaining the upper hand coming to the line, but Shorten produced a big last shot to win it by centimetres.

Shorten opened the contest with a big bowl, which Hurley missed by 15m. Hurley followed with a fine throw to Roseville, which Shorten also beat by 15m. Hurley was at the ashes in three and Shorten beat that by 30m. Hurley gained his first lead with a brilliant fourth bowl to the cottages. His next bowl got a rub to the oak to keep him in a 15m lead.

Shorten regained the lead with a great sixth bowl to The Ranch. Hurley’s next bowl unluckily broke right and Shorten beat it by 35m. They were dead level after eight each to Parkdotia cross. Shorten edged the shots away from the cross. Hurley’s next broke right, but Shorten beat it by just 15m. Hurley played his 12th perfectly, but it broke right and Shorten increased his lead to 25m. Shorten increased his odds with his next to the castle.

Hurley then played a brilliant 14th bowl, which Shorten missed by 20m. Shorten got a nice rub with his second last towards the line, but Hurley still beat it by 20m for the last shot. Shorten played a super last bowl past the line. Hurley followed with a good one too, but it missed the mark by less than a foot.

In the return score at Tallow, Willie Quirke from Clashmore beat Tom Allen from Fermoy by 50m. This was a classic contest too from start to finish. It was a sensational result for Quirke in his comeback score as he had not been bowling for the past two seasons.

 Next Saturday the show moves to the Gearagh Road at Ballinacurra near Midleton for the Donal Wall Shield featuring Donnacha O’Brien and Trevor O’Meara. Both bowlers have won national and international recognition at underage and adult level. O’Meara was a protégé of the great Mick Barry and O’Brien hails from Drinagh in West Cork, often seen as the home of road bowling.

Tallow GAA would like to congratulate our club President Eddie Cunningham on being awarded the Séamus O'Brien aard in this year's Local Bar Waterford GAA awards.   Pat Grant spoke eloquently of Eddie's involvement in the association on WLF FM.  He stated how he selector of secretary of Tallow GAA club at the age of sixteen and has held nearly all positions of his club.  He was selector of secretary of both hurling and football at minor grade for Waterfod in 1967.  He was selector of both hurling and football at minor grade for Waterford in 1968.  His greatest achievement on the ocunty stage was in 1992 as minor hurlilng selector as Waterford won Munster but lost out narrowly to Galway in the 1992 All Ireland Minor Hurling final.  On the administration side he served as Western board chairman and treasurer for several years.  he worked on committees for both Croke Park and the Munster Council as well as being a referee assessor.  For Tallow he was involved in nearly all aspects of teams from the sixties onwards.  A selector in our 1974 intermediate triumph, he was there in our senior glories of the eighties and a minor selector in 1997.  His last team involvement was part of the management team of 2011 that guided Tallow to a county final appearance.  Cunny has given a lifetime of service to our club and we would like to acknowledge his outstanding work and no man deserves this award more.

Stepping up to adult grade can be a daunting experience.  This week I spoke to Ian Beecher about his step up to playing adult hurling from underage.


PRO: Before one could play adult hurling at any age deemed one was good enough. It changed then to 17 and follwed that to 18. Had you played junior grade before you played senior grade?

IB: Never played Junior no.

PRO: I remember that you played in two County finals against Ballygunner. You scored a goal against Ballygunner in the U14 one and the Minor one went to a replay. Your memories of both?

IB: Don't remember U14 one. Got 2 goals in the first Minor county, were up by 8 with ten minutes left and drew, lost replay.

PRO: So you played Senior before you played Junior, how did you feel with the age restrictions in so far as you were eighteen before you could play adult hurling?

IB: Didn't bother me really I was playing with few underage teams so was busy with that.

PRO: The first few challenge games and league games how did you find the speed of the game, strength of opponents etc.

IB: Played at a higher speed. Opponents were generally much older and were much stronger.

PRO: How did you find the speed of the game in your first championship encounter?

IB: The speed of the game was faster than underage hurling but it was the strength of players that really surprised me. It was much harder to beat opponents, was nearly bullied out of it. Also was taken off at half time on debut which shows it didn't go well.

PRO: You came up against the Ballygunner halfback line of Mahoney, Hutchinson and Walsh. Pretty strong. How did you feel on the build up to the game and the day of the game?

IB: Build up to the game went fairly well I thought. Obviously was a bit nervous due to playing such a big side and especially because it was first championship game for the club.

PRO: How much of a help were your brother Robbie with about two years experience and James your uncle in stepping up?

IB: The two lads were a huge help to be fair. I suppose James was always giving advice before and after games and wishing the best beforehand which helped alot. Rob made me more comfortable I suppose in the dressing room with lads I hadn't played with before  which was good, and he also told me who to stay away from at training.

PRO: How was your confidence after the game?

IB: Confidence wasn't great to be honest after. We were beaten badly and had a bad game personally too.

PRO: How did the rest of the year go for you?

IB: Rest of the year went well I thought for my first year. Got to play a nice few matches which boosted my confidence and I got experience under the belt.

This local derby ended with a home win, Utd had been finding the net regularly in their last few games and for them not to score during the game was a bit of a surprise. Having said that Rangers keeper was outstanding here and brought off some great saves from Whelan, Guildea and McCormack. No doubt the boys will put this defeat behind them and move on.

Academy Game:

Junior Football:

Tallow 4-08 Kilgobnet 4-13
Never has a game been influenced so much by two players. Donnchadh Mulcahy plyed his trade at corner forward garnered himself a total of 3-3 all from play while his counter part on the Kilgobnet side at full forward scored around 80% of their total. It was a lively opening ten minutes with scores a plenty. Our first score was registered on the scoreboard when Ryan Grey pointed a free inside two minutes.  Donnchadh "the Tyrone Samuri" scored our first point from play two minutes after, followed it on a minute later when he cut in from the right hand side and slotted over for a beauty. Quick thinking from Ryan resulted in our first goal of the game when he blasted home a close in free. 
The speed of it confused some as on the Cappoquin scoreboard it was recorded as a point. Jordan scored a wonder point and a long rang bomb from kevin henley on ten minutes had us leading 1-4 to 0-
Five minutes after this Kilgobned had a goal and point scored. The ever industrialist Donnchadh had the misfortune to see a thunder bold come back off the butt of the post as he left players in his wake. It was tit for tat now and a Ryan Grey shot dorpped short inot the hands of Donnchadh and he billowed the net.  Kilgobnet's reply was instantaneous as they socred a goal straight away to leave the tie deadlcked at 2-5 each. Kieran Geary scored a point but again Kilgobnet breached our defence to add another goal and lead at half time 3-6 to 2-6.

We started the second half slowly and before Kieran Geary added his second point from play we trailed by six points with forty minutes played. Donnchadh hoodwinked his man and put over a point reminiscent of Joe Brolly with the high trajectory of his kick. There was a lull in the game for a period as their was no score for about eight minutes. Donnchadh again scored his second goal of the game and he maneuvered around a Kilgobnet defender to slot home. Donnchadh finished off his masterclass with his last goal following a delivery after a piercing run by Jake Beecher. It was a five point loss and we now play a quarter final of the west

Team: Mark Stewart, Alan Curley, Jake Neville, Robbie Geary, Kevin Henley (0-1) Kieran Frazier, Jake Beecher, Darragh Mulcahy, Hordan Henley (0-1) Shaun O'Sullivan, Ryan Grey (1-1  1-1f) Bob McCarthy, Darah Buckley, Kieran Geary (o-2) Donnchadh Mulchay (3-3) Subs used, Dean Beecher, Eoin Condon, Mikey Tobin.

Senior Hurling Championship: 

Tallow   1-17       Ballygunner 2- 19

This was a decent performance from our lads. They worked hard, played some quality hurling and were perhaps unlucky not to get something out of the game.  These lads can be proud of their efforts but they need to double up on it. . No big secret about Kilkenny. It’s assumed you can hurl. After that Cody picks the lads who will fight in the trenches.

We had lapses at the start of both halves which cost us dearly.  Ballygunner shot into a 5 point lead in the opening 7 minutes and coincidentally that was their winning margin at end of play. After a jittery start, our full back line got the grips with things and performed well as a unit. Jake Beecher in particular was both competent and confident on the ball. After that opening salvo by Ballygunner there was little between the sides! Indeed for most of the second half Tallow looked the better hurling side. I didn’t take any notes at the game so in a manner of speaking much of this report is ad lib. Great to see Paul O Brien back hurling and hurling well!  (Fada is not writing these notes by the way) Darrah Buckley is a much improved player and he has more to offer.

That said it’s what’s on the scoreboard that counts and Ballygunner are safely into the quarter finals and remain firm favourites to regain the county title.

Tallow: Shaun O Sullivan, Jake Beecher, David O'Brien, Mark O Brien, K Geary, Jordan Henley,  Rob Beecher, Robbie Geary, Ian Beecher(0-2) ,  Thomas Ryan (1-4)  Ryan Grey

(0-1) Bob McCarthy (O-1), Paul O Brien (0-1), Ken Kearney, Darrah Buckley (0-7,4f) Subs  Tommy Daly (0-1), Rob O Sullivan, Mikey Tobin

We face Passage next, probably on the week end 24/25 August. There’s not a poc of a ball between most of the senior teams in the county. It won’t be easy. Trench warfare!!

Overall this was a competitive sporting championship encounter and Ballygunner were worthy winners. There were a few aspects of the game which troubled me however. This is no sour grapes as I would have said the same had we won by 10 points. Cards were dispensed liberally, most of them with a Tallow address. Tallow mentors were admonished (one sent to the stand) apparently for pitch encroachment while I counted no less than 6 of the opposition management/backroom team on the field on one occasion. As the saying goes all we ask for is parity of esteem. Above all Tallow do not ask for but demand respect for our players. A number of our players were at the receiving end of personal insults and abusive foul language from the referee. I’m well aware of what I’m saying here and have double checked my facts. Stuff like frees, cards etc. can be subjective. This was outrageous. The GAA to their credit have made an issue out of respect for referees. . It cuts both ways. We have a duty to our players and will raise this issue on whatever forum necessary for as long as it takes.

Summer Camp a Great Sucess
The weather held up and we had a record crowd eighty one boys and girls attending over the week which made it difficult for Centra to get everyone fed on Thursday. It was a busy week with two boys celebrating their birthdays during the week. The boys and girls were very well behaved during the week and gave our coaches no problems so well done.

Thanks
Our thanks to the clubs sponsors Tim Keniry and Centra for feeding the kids on Thursday. Tim and staff Sarah and Teresa did a great job which is not easy.

Well Done
To our coaches during the week without them we would have no camp. Keeping the kids happy all the time is no easy job.

Summer Camp begins on Monday.
The annual Summer camp kicks off on Monday next 15th July in Leonard Fraser Park. A large group of boys and girls have already entered. However, do not worry you can still enter this weekend or walk ons on the morning of the camp is also ok, so no panic.

The cost of the camp is €40 per child, €70 for 2 children, so it's really good value. We begin the Camp at 10.00 am so bring in the children anytime from 9.45 especially if they have to be registered.

The Camp runs from Monday till Thursday. Do not forget packed lunch, enough for 2 breaks and plenty of water especially if the weather is good. More on this next week.

A.G.M.
We have no date yet for the A.G.M. due in the main because the season ran so long this season. However, it will be held this month, everyone will be notified.

Senior Hurling Draw: We are down to play Mount Sion and Abbeyside in the senior hurling championship, no date as yet is finalised but we are presuming August. We last played Mount Sion in 2016 when down to fourteen men and a late James Murray equaliser earned us a draw. Abbeyside played us last in 2018 in the quarter final of the championship when they trounced us. Big tests ahead.

AGM: Our AGM is on this Friday at 8pm in the clubhouse . Feel free to come along and see the workings of the club. It is a great opportunity to see how the club is run, the financial input and output and future plans. New ideas and thoughts are always needed. So call down and if covid has shown us anything it's that it is a great social output.

Aisghabháil tapaidh: A few people at present with the connection to the club that are going through their own hardships health wise. All we can say is that our prayers are with them and we wish them the best in recovery. Go gcuire an tsláinte mhaith iad.

AGM: Our AGM is on the Friday 11th of February. Hope to see you all there.

Minor Hurlers 1997.

This year is the twenty fifth anniversary of Tallow's minor hurling county win. With that in mind here is a piece I did on the occasion.

After an absence of eleven years a Tallow minor team reclaimed the minor hurling title in 1997 . Assisted by our neighbours the Shamrocks they pulled out all the stops to beat a favoured Mount Sion team. I asked three members of that team the thoughts on that period. Seán Slattery SS, Barry Power BP, Roy Henley RH.

After suffering a western final replay loss to Lismore the previous year what was the abiding feeling going into the that 97 campaign?

SS: I don't  recall discussing the defeat from the year before in preparation for 97- it was a sore point and remains in that category.. we knew there was plenty talent in the squad when the 97 championship began and there was a lot of training done to make sure we were tuned in, a lot of the lads that played the year before and definitely had the appetite to start winning

BP: Been thinking over and over about 97, great to get the email to jog the memory. 

From my point of view the real making of us was the draw and replay of the 96 Western final against Lismore. Even though we lost and we had arguably the better team (Murray, Buddy, Murphy) it showed us a glimpse of the big time, the hype and competing in an A final and being the better team. Up to that we would do well against an Ardmore or Abbeyside but be beaten well in a final (u14 and 16, maybe 16 was a western semi final). I think the fact that we got there and performed showed that we were at the top table and would only get better.

I remember before the championship started that about six or seven of that team got a trial for Waterford minor hurlers. Wasn't the core strength of the team very solid?

SS: ​I had two rock solid lads in the corners sweeping up behind me and a Powerhouse in goals, from memory we only conceded one goal in the championship. job done.

BP: I’d agree with you about the players we got on the minor panel (Donovan, Slatts, Roy, Murray) but also the fact that we knew that you, Paidi, Paul, Shane Finn and Cart were as good as those on the panel, remember Paidi Tobin was a superstar in the making back then!!

Top it off with Murray who we saw playing at the highest level of 2nd level hurling and was Tallow's first 2 year inter county minor since....(?)

It’s hard to overstate James’s impact and influence. I remember hearing a story about Maradonna's first few years with Napoli (before the mountains of coke). He would run into the ground for his teammates, take on a huge workload in matches in training even though he was twice as talented as any of the others. Murray was like that, he was our Cryuff, our Maradona. 

When I was training with Waterford minors I remember a few lads chatting after a practice match with a Laois or a Clare. Murray has missed that match due to a Colman’s match and the lads were now saying, in effect,’we’ll be ok for the next match against Cork because we’ll have Murray back’

It was mad to hear fellas from the East talk about a Tallow man like that!

We defeated Ardmore in Lismore on  a rainy night and Lismore in Cappoquin. Do you recall anything from each?

SS ​I recall just about getting over the line against Ardmore and a huge sense of relief when it was all over.. Roy Henley scored a point towards the end, not too many scores in that game.. The forwards cut loose against Lismore and it was over early on.

 BP:  I remember the first round against Ardmore in Lismore .We scraped through that by a point, I made a save near the end. 

RH: Ardmore in Lismore, won by a point. We didn't score any goals. I started wing forward and went in full forward on Declan Prendergast in the second half . I scored one point. Lismore next over in Cappoquin. I think. Mark Walsh was corner forward that day and scored three goals I think. 

The day of the western final the team togged off above in "The Central Bar". Was that a surreal experience? 

SS​I dont think we ever had to do it in a match prior to then, nobody was too concerned

BP: For a man who has always prided himself on a great memory I’ve f#ck all memory of the Western final..

RH: Yep togged out above in the central.

We got a goal from a goal mouth scramble ( was it John Donovan sideline?) and had a very hair-raising encounter at the end in our goal . Do you remember the events.? 

SS: No hair raising from where I was standing.​ It didn't go over the line, it was merely a new method for taking the spin out of the sliotar and killing some time... the umpire on the right hand side of the goals didn't make a move and stood his ground..

BP:  I made a save near the end .A goalmouth scramble near the end,a ball that was scooped out of the goal. I remember people asking me if it was over the line, as if I cared!

RH: Won by a point I think again. I remember Paul Landy gave Murray a terrible time at center forward but we scrapped through. 

Growing up the team got to a western title or two underage but was beaten by the then star studded Dungarvan team. They were subsequently knocked out by Abbeyside in the semi. Did that instill belief in the team?

SS: We didn't know much about Abbeyside before the final, the belief came when we won the western final and we know what happened next....

The county final build up and game...

SS: It was  great to see the people who had driven us to matches from u12 up on the bus as we headed to Walsh.. with our new set of jerseys we got a cheer as things got underway.. It was a fairly rough encounter and Tallow got  a great start... It was full on defence in the second half with James Murray frees keeping the score board moving on our side. A lot of lads dropped fairly deep into our half which provided some cover... we were relieved and thrilled on the final whistle...

BP: 

Anyway...yeah the Newtown games in Fermoy gave us serious confidence, we knew they were good when we played them but I can’t remember them being built up as the best team in Cork or anything like that. As I remember, Ben was the real star, Jerry was a bit behind him. 

As I mentioned before, I felt we took a lot from the two Western finals the previous year against a good Lismore team. 

Can’t remember much discussion about the Sash jerseys, think they were Moroneys idea? ( I think it was John McDonnell who got them) 

Charlie langers was something waiting to happen all year... he was on a tight leash and he broke out on Horse Fair day (was that the only time?) I remember Liam Aherne being like Kofi Annan and trying to shepherd him out of the field, smiling and saying ‘cmon Charlie we’ll see you next week’ and Charlie saying ‘you won’t see me no more’

It probably was our first time going to a match in a bus. I sat beside Drum I think. I remember the bus going up the sweep and looking out the window and feeling ‘we’ll be coming back here with the cup in the evening’ 

We knew of Mount Sions reputation but we would have had little experience of city teams and I was taken aback by the mouthing and sledging, it wasn’t done much in the West. They were dirty and, typical of bullies, they got worse when they were beaten. 

We were always capable of getting goals, Roy was a force at that level and Paudie was too. Our direct tactics and Charlie keeping it moving made sure our inside line got plenty of ball. 

Our defending was heroic, Slatts was a serious full back underage, his hurling was so good he didn’t need to be overly physical. Switching the two Murray’s in the second half gave us a foothold in midfield, Paul was always suited to centre back better. 

Forgot about Biscuits finger! Biscuit was tough, properly physical. 

Forgot about the close shaves we had too, I made one good save, Slatts cleared another one. 

I wasn’t there for going to the nursing home. 

Think we all went to Murray at the end, he was our touchstone. 

I know he became more paranoid and cautious later as a manager but back then Bubs was a revelation, he was so enthusiastic and he could get on with everyone. I think we all looked up to him, he was one of the best players on the Senior team and had an All Ireland medal. 

I do remember being overcome at the presentation (‘‘tis in film). Probably because I met Ned just before it, also it had been heartbreaking the year before, it was such relief to get over the line

RH: I remember walking into Tallow that morning from home, nervous, excited about getting the game started.Met Johnny Curley at the square before the bus ride to Waterford. The bus ride down I sat in the back of the bus and wished we were there already. I remember James Murray the captain sitting with me for a few minutes and saying " that we couldn't come to Waterford and not win, it would be a complete waste of time to come this far and not see it through". We had a job to do and have to do it. 

I remember scoring the first goal around the 5 minute mark when a ball came across the square head high and I pulled in the air and directed it towards the goal where the goalie fumbled it into the side netting. In the process I caught my man and he was down getting attention for some time. I scored another goal about 10 minutes later when a ball was dropping into the square and I was able to get something on it and direct it to the roof of the net.

We went in at half time after building up a nice margin but knew that the second half was to come into a strong breeze.

The second half was all Mount Sion and our backs resisted surge after surge.I was kicked on the ground by my man Ian Farrell with ten minutes to go , which resulted in him being sent off. 

We were able to close it out with some excellent free taking into the breeze by James Murray. 

When the whistle went I remember seeing my father crying on the line and then crying myself while we marched up to get the cup. We had a couple of soft drinks that night.

Online Lotto: I incorrectly stated that it would be up and running this week but it is a few weeks off yet and I will inform people when it is up and running and when to purchase. I yearly ticket is also available for all of those who wish to purchase at €100 euro for the year. 

Kieran Ryan: Kieran burst onto the scene as a seventeen year old in 1974 playing in a U21 All Ireland Hurling Final and won an Intermediate hurling title for Tallow. He formed a great partnership with John McDonnell in midfield for many a campaign. He played in the two massacres that were the Munster Finals of 82 and 83 but surely his proudest moment was captaining Tallow in the centenary final of 1984. Work took him to England in the late eighties were he currently resides.  I did an interview with Kieran Ryan a few months back and here is a sample of it. 

Would you remember the first Tallow game you played at adult level and the last one you played? 

Yes I can vaguely remember my first adult game, it was a junior hurling game. I can't remember the opposition. But it was a big occasion to be playing in a Tallow senior jersey. That year Pat Daly and myself were promoted and I believe we were playing at 16 years of age. The junior championship was a tough grade to be in at that time but we were fortunate that we had good people around us like John McDonald, Billy Henley, John Henley, Tom Mulcahy and Rodger Ryan. My last game for Tallow was unique, in the sense that I had come back from London at my own expense and had been determined to play one more game for Tallow. I played against Port law in Dungarvan. I thought I was able to still handle the  intensity of it but I'm afraid I was well short of match fitness, which I was very disappointed in myself.

How was Tallow training different from the beginning to the end of your career?

At the beginning of my career all my training was done through Ned Power, who taught us all the basic skills and drilled the Tallow spirit into us. Later we had a guy called Brenden Barry come in and brought a different dimension into the team, mainly because he was from the outside and had a different perspective. We also had different trainers such as Eddie Cunningham and Dave Doyle. Overall I learned a lot from each individual and had great respect for the input they made in my career. As I grew older there was more emphasis on physical training and being fitter amongst the team, you could say this was part of the process in growing older.

If you could relay a game again, which one would you choose?

It would be hard to single out just one game as I was fortunate to be a part of a lot of Tallow victories. However the one that stands out for me personally is our first Keaneland Cup victory against Lismore, in Lismore. The reason being, is that it was my first adult cup victory in front of a big crowd, the whole occasion was like an All Ireland to me. At the time we were an intermediate team and Lismore was senior which made the win even more special for us as a team. Great celebrations were had throughout the week in Tallow, everyone was delighted. 

From the Tallow players you played with, who was the fastest?

The fastest would be Seamus ‘Trasher’ Tracey who was like lightning especially at a young age. 

The Toughest?

It would be hard to single out the toughest as there were a few but I would have to say John McDonnell for his leadership, determination and bravery.

The Best Footballer?

People I would consider to be very good footballers would be Eric Curley, Tom ‘Bomber’ McCarthy from my young days and Ray 'Pigeon’ O’Brian. Because of all 3, we won quite a few football titles in my time so I was very lucky to play with them.

When the chips were down, who would always turn it on?

In my opinion, it was the Tallow team spirit that brought many victories rather than one individual. 

Who would have been the most skilful player?

I came across many skilful players throughout my career who brought different things to the team. Personally I would rate Trasher Tracey, Liam O’Brian, Pigeon, Pat Daly and Connie Curley. 

The most underrated player?

I feel in my time there were a few underrated players. I personally believe that they brought a lot to the team but never received the recognition they deserved. 

Waterford: Sometimes a score line flatters a team but in fact it should have been four or five points more such was Waterford's control of the game. Our half back line was immense and was the launch pad to most of our attacks. It was our first championship win in three years and for that it will enhance a spirit in this team which will surely grow.

Tallow GAA Notes

Junior Football : Tallow 2-10 Ballinacourty 1-06

A quick turn around for our junior footballers following on from Saturday's first round game we were in action again last Thursday in the Bushy Park venue. There was a certain form of pressure on the players here as we needed a result. Ballinacourty scored the first score of the game with a pointed free.  We responded brilliantly two minutes latter. Good interplay from defence to attack saw a pass into the corner to Donnchadh he soloed in from the left wing to the goals the ball broke and Darragh Mul was the quickest to react and he toe poked the ball into the net. On the ninth minute Ballincourty responded with a mix up in our defence to cancel out our goal with one of their own. Normally in these circumstances heads would drop a little but we responded well. Darragh Mulcahy went of solo run and the ball went to the energetic Kieran Geary and he pointed our first point from open play. Frees added to the next two scores with ten minutes gone with Ballinacourty accounting for one and Kieran Geary putting one over for us. At this stage the advantage rules was applied well by referee . At least three times in the opening half the rule was used and on all occasions our shots went wide and a free was brought back on each occasion. Ryan Grey got in on the scoring with a lovely thirty five yards shot that had us up a point 1-3 to 1-2 at the first water interval. A noted changed on the previous Saturday was how most playing were playing a notch above what they played on the previous Saturday. Jake Neville was having a great game in the corner, while he got out in front on many occasions , the most pleasing aspect of his game was how he tackled for the most part without fouling.  We started the second period with Jake Neville dispossessing a forward with tigerish aggression and ball yet again worked up the field and a free awarded. Kieran who was leading the team on possessions and on the scoring ,pointed the free and the man was surely brimming in confidence in the standard of play he showed on the field. Robbie Geary made two meandering runs up the field and on both occasions he was unlucky not the score. Our midfield was controlling things and Ian Beecher and Kieran Geary had a hand on most of the good things we did in the first half. We finished out the half with Darragh Mulcahy scoring a great point when he just blasted over following a Kieran Geary placed ball. We were full justified our three point lead of 1-6 to 1-3.

The second half started in a welter of excitement . Great play by Jake Beecher saw a long ball into Ian Beecher. He played a quick one two with Eoin McGrath and was upended inside the thirteen meter line . A penalty awarded. Kieran stood up to take it but the shot was turned out for a 45 which we missed as well. Wides either side of a Ballinacourty pointed free had us leading 1-6 to 1-4 with five minutes of the second half played. Great work by Donnchadh on the ball and he off loaded to Kieran who shot a great point with the outside of his foot curling the ball from left to right between the posts. Ryan pointed a free two minutes later and we had extended our lead to four points. Our defence was solid throughout the second half and Jake Beecher manned the center half back position  vigorously . Ryan scored a wonder point twelve minutes into the second half that I would tie himself and Kieran on our scores of the night. We lost Kieran just before the second water break and his loss was felt such was the standard we was playing. Brian McCarthy introduced in this period scored a great solo point with a busting run .. His size alone on the 25th minutes caused havoc and Eoin McGrath kicked the ball to the net. The night finished in the light of the Bushy park with us victorious 2-10 to 1-6. We collectively were hard working and used the ball well. There is no rest bite now as we play again this Sunday but I'm sure Seán , the two Dinny's and Diarmuid will have the boys primed.

Team: Mikey Curley, Alan Curley, Robbie Geary, Jake Neville, Kevin Henley, Jake Beecher, Dean Beecher , Kieran Geary (0-5,3f), Shaun O'Sullivan, Bob McCarthy, Darragh Mulcahy (1-1), Dave Kingston, Ryan Grey(0-3), Donnchadh Mulcahy. Subs Eoin McGrath for Dave Kingston (1-0), Brian McCarthy(0-1) for Donnchadh Mulcahy Ben Aherne for Kieran Geary. 

Tallow 4-10 Kilgobnet 0-5.

Our third game in nine days brought us to the Cappoquin venue on a shimmering Sunday evening . After our first shot went wide Darragh Mulcahy picked up a loose kick out and fed Kieran who had made ten yards before hand passed to Jordan back in the side at wing forward, Jordan's side foot shot was smothered by the Kilgobet goalie when a goal looked likely. A Kieran Geary defected shot went out for a 45 which a Ryan Grey low trajectory kick sailed about three feet over the bar for the first score of the game.Five minutes passed before Kilgobet pointed a free between three wides for us.Ten minutes had passed since our last score and although we were playing well we needed to add to the scoreboard. A good mark from Dean Beecher saw him boot the ball into Shaun Sullivan who hand passed to the hard working Darragh  for a great  point. As the first water break approached Kieran Geary played a row ball into one of his business partners Donnchadh Mulcahy, he hand passed to the on rushing Darragh Mulcahy who availed of  his maker and cutting across the ball he hit a beautiful slicer arrowing the ball in off the post for a  goal. It was a great tonic as they took on their hydration and led 1-2 to 0-1 .Answering a Killgobnet free, Ian Beecher played a good ball into Donnchadh to passed to Jordan who worked a nice point. Five minutes to go in first half and Darragh Mulcahy intercepted a free in the Tallow hand back line . Jake Beecher's positioning all day was very good and his nice foot pass up saw him charging up the field he laid the ball off to Alan Curley who did very well to win it before he gave it to the steadfast Jake Neville who passed to Kieran who went fifteen yards with the ball before he kicked into Ryan who returned to Kieran who pointed for a great team score. Kieran was on a ton of ball and was involved in nearly everything good that Tallow did. Ryan followed it by pointed a nice score about ten yards to the right of the posts.A minute to go in the half and Kieran Geary back in defence launches a forty yard punt in the direction of Donnchadh Mul. Donnchadh gave a slight nudge in the back ( if it's good for Seamus Darby) and the ball went through to Ryan Grey. He got the ball and I'm not sure if you would call it a hand pass but the ball ended up with Donnchadh and he pounded the ball to the roof of the net. A minute later Shaun Sullivan pass was intercepted when goal was on and Kilgobnet got the closing score of half with a close in free which left us leading by seven points at the break 2-5 to 0-4.

After three wides and one ball dropping short going on eight minutes we created a good goal chance when a piercing run from Jordan had him pass the ball across to Paul O'Brien who palmed effort was saved but waved wide.It took ten minutes of play to get the first score of the second half  off the boot of Ryan Grey.Jake Beecher blocked a shot with his back when a score looked certain. Alan Curley was dismissed on two yellow cards on the forty third minute of the game. Jordan Henley pointed a nice curling shot from play when it would seem he was  disadvantaged from the original ball setting. Ryan pointed a 45 off the post thereafter .Five minutes to go and Ryan Grey pointed a free in which he was fouled himself.He got one from play after been played in by Ian Beecher. Eoin McGrath roofed a ball to the net after good interplay with Kieran. Kieran got in the goal act himself with the last kick of the game as he shot low to the net from five yards.The most pleasing aspect of the game for me was that we scored 2-04 when down to fourteen men. We play Ballyduff in the semi of the west on Sunday next at 2.00pm in Cappoquin. 

Team: Mikey Curley, Alan Curley, Robbie Geary, Jake Neville, Kevin Henley, Jake Beecher, Dean Beecher, Kieran Geary (1-1), Ian Beecher, Jordan Henley (0-2) , Bob McCarthy, Darragh Mulcahy (1-1),Shaun O'Sullivan, Ryan Grey(0-6,2 '45,1f), Donnchadh Mulcahy (1-0). Subs Paul O'Brien for Shaun O'Sullivan, Eoin McGrath(1-0) for Donnchadh Mulcahy.

U14 Hurling County Final: Cois Bhríde 3-08 De la Salle 3-10
Having started the Western final at a slow pace we hoped that on this county final day we wuld not repeat the dose.  We did,and it probable cost us the result in the end.  Fraher Field was looking respledent, the sun was glistening and it was a perfect morning for hurling.  In the first five minutes we trailed 1-01 to no score.  In the same starting period it's not that we were overpowered but our accuracy was affected by our apprehension.  Conor got us off the mark with our first score of teh day from a placed ball.  As the first water break approached we wer estill playing well within ourselves and hadn't got to teh pace of the game.  Stephen Murphy operating at the right half forward was using the ball well and when his speculative lob in was missed by the De La Salle goal keeper it somehow seemed to bounce outside the post and wide.  Billy operating with an injured back was still alert between the posts and he still thwarted the De La Salle forwards on a few occasions.  Five minutes to go in the half and Jack Henley was on the twenty one and bearing down on goal.  With backs hanging out of either side of him, his intuition didn't fail him as he managed to wriggle through and bat the ball into the net.  Our merriment was short lived as De La Salle respoonded with a major of themselves and as the half time whistle went we were down 1-03 to 2-17.

Junor Hurling: Our junior hurlers open their account against Fourmilewater on Sunday at 2pm in Ballymac.  This years league is based on a home and away arrangement.  This is the juniors first competitive action since we bowed out to the same opposition at thesemi final stage last year.  With nothing on feel free to travel down and support our players. 

Dog Fouling:  It has yet again come to our attention that dog fouling is occuring on our grounds.  Signs visibly displayed at the entrance of the field state, that dogs are not permitted.  This is not the first time we have had to raise this matter. There are plenty of non playing fields in the countryside if one wants to walk their dogs safely.  They are not permitted on the GAA grounds so please adhere to these rules and consider the players. 

Deise Draw:  With the lotto out of action for the time being, we have the Deise Draw as our only viable income to draw on in the coming months.  It is a vital component for the running of our club.  We would appreciate if everyone would endeavour to support this draw.  The draw is more condensed with the current climate.  The original April draw has been put back to August and will now run from Auguust to December.  €90 for the year and €15 a month.  Of the €15 we will retain €10.50

Tallw GAA Notes, 09/06/2020

Tallow GAA Notes.

Return to Play Roadmap: A month earlier than we expected but the field will be open on the 29th of June instead of July. They will surely be a massive enthusiasm to use our facilities after such a long lock down. The training of teams will be a different matter. To attend training one must fill in a health questionnaire and take a body temperature. Anyone who's temperature is over 37.5 will have to return home. Any juvenile much have parental signature on them participating. The best practice of health hygiene to adhere to is of washing hands and keeping your distance. Dressing rooms and clubhouses will remain closed until Stage 5 on the 10th August, but the toilets will be available. A Covid Supervisor will be assigned to each team. Club competitions can start back from 31st July and must finish by October 11th. Group training will start back on the 20th July. County board will decide on what form the competitions will be based. All this logic is based on public health standards, public health advise and government direction.

Covid 19 is the big winner!

Yes as all schoolboy soccer comes to a halt due to Covid 19 we will all have to make enormous sacrafices going forwerd.  With all sport cancelled going into the summer months we now ask ourselves when will we be back to the sction.  Already the past six to seven weeks have seen more blank weekends due to the weather are now faced with a different more difficult problem.  If rumors reaching use are true then we could be without our football for some months.  More problems for the league committee and the clubs. Interesting weeks ahead no doubt. 

Sympathy
The club extends its deepest sympathy to the Sheehan family Convent St. on the sudden passing of Mairéad.  May she rest in peace

Enormous Sacrifces

Over the next few months our players, coaches, parents, partners and sponsors will have to make some big changes in their lifestyle.  We would ask everyone to do what the HSE as us to do.  Remember we are doing it for each other.  It will not be easy but we will all come out the other end all the beter for it. 

Best of Luck

To Mary Pratt who is on Telly Bingo this week.  Last week Trish Feeney was picked from spar supermarked and on the same show out came Mary Pratt who does the Telly bingo and purchased her book from Valerie in Tallow Post Office, well done to everyone.

Plenty of Stock In Centra

Timmy and Ted Keniry have seen a very busy week at their Centra store in the centre of Talow.  It's been very very busy all week said Tim, but we have a terrific back up with plenty of extra deliveries coming into the store and this will continue.  People will now stay in tow to shop instead of going outside of the town to shop especially with long ques outside some of the larger stores.  
Kenirys will have a delivery service to those poeple unable to get out shopping, especially the elderly, stated Tim.  People need to give us a ring and we will get their groceries delivered to them that day. 
This Covid 19 could be with us for some time so it is important that our customers do what the HSE asks of all of us added Tim. 

Pubs Cosed

it could be a thirsty few months with the new us with the pubs closoing.  Everyone is being asked to play their part.  Did we every think something like this would happen.  This virus is giving everyone problems.  Hopefully everyone will come out the other end  Other stores like Spar and Daybreak have plenty of stock so there is no need for people to panic. 

Helaine McGrath of McGraths Pharmacy also has plenty of stock.  People are being asked to stay behind the table in the entrance to the chemist and the staff will take orders and people can then call back for their medicines.  No customers are allowed in the shop to save people gathering while waiting for the orders to be filled.  The word from Helaine is that people need to stay calm and get their medication as they would normally would. No need for panic buying.

The opening goal came after 10 minutes when a free kick to Utd saw Ciaran Kelleher kick  end up in Mogeely's net. Utd increased their lead after 25 minutes when Josh Good set up Jake Henley for the first of his hat trick.

Mogeely pulled a goal back in the 28th minute but again Henley put Utd in front with his second goal in the 26th minute and Utd held this lead till the break.

Jack McDonnell brought off a terrific save for Utd four minutes into the second half and a minute later Mogeely added a second to come back into the game. Henley secured the points for Utd in the 55th minute when he scored form close range. Henley's hat trick and his outstanding performance made him man of the match.

It was not to be however as Mogeely ran out winners by the odd goal in three. The East Cork side led 1-0 at the break.

They added a second early in the second half. Joseph McDonnell pulled a goal back fr Utd but we were unable to score an equaliser despite putting the homeside under alot of pressure in the final 10 minutes.

Glad to report that Michael Delandy is on the mend after his accident.  Michael is already looking forward to Christmas. Of course Man Utd's good run is helping him no doubt.  Best wishes from Santa and all in Brideview Utd.

Brideview Utd AFC Schloolboy Notes

The Weather is the Winner

Yes another blank weekend due to the terrible wet weather which we had for most of the past week. We look forward to getting back into the togs and socks this coming weekend.

Santa on the way

Yes it's almost here. The date Friday 6th December is fast approaching. Santa will arrive at 7.00 pm sharp.  The price of the visit to Santa is just €5. Full details next week.

You boys in green

A full Aviva in full voice could not get Mick and the boys over the line. Without doubt one of the best disp[lays for a long time a 1-1 draw was not enough to see us qualify. We now go to a knock out game against Slovakia. If we win that we face another away game to the winners of Bosnia and Northern Ireland. A large Tallow gang enjoyed the craic in the Ballsbridge Hotel while more Tallow boys were in the Landsdown Hotel.

A Tallow visit

 Mary Butler T.D. will attend St. Patrick's Hall on Saturday week December 7th at 11.00am.  Problem can be solved by giving Mary a shout.

Christmas Appeal

 A big night takes place in the Corner House all in aid of The Lions Club Christmas Appeal. Music will be by Sunset Sound and friends. Always a good night and the money raised going to a good cause. So why not drop into the Corner House Bar this Saturday night.

Birthday Party with a difference.

Two birthday parties, one in Clancy's Bar on Saturday night which was great craic and Jackie is still only a young girl of 30. By the way Sean had a lovely haircut.

The other party was in Waterford and by God was there a story here. One of the guests got on the train for Carlow fell asleep and ended up in Dublin. A Tallow man no doubt.

Cois Bhride: Well done to the Cois Bhride U17 footballers who won the Division 3 County Final. Mossie got so excited that he had to leave the fieldd.

Forty five years ago Tallow captured the 1974 Intermediate hurling title. It coupled on an underage success that propelled us to Senior level and a glorious period of the eighties.

I spoke to three members of that team who were involved that year. Billy Sheehan (BS) the captain from full back, Jimmy Cronin a wing back on the team (JC) and TomDoyle the centre forward (TD) and asked a few questions and give information to all three. 

In eight years all our near neighbours (Shamrocks, Lismore, Cappoquin and Ballyduff) got promoted to the senior grade. The Western section seemed very competitive?

JC: iT was, you could add Fourmile and Geraldines and it was very competitive.

BS: The Intermediate championship was very competitive in the early 70's. Cappoquin beat us in the Western Final in 1970 I think. We won the West in '71 but were beaten by Butlerstown in the County Final. Cappoquin beat us again in 72 or '73. We had John Ryan sent off early in the first half.

TD: It was brilliant to be involved in it. Some great tight games.

 

We won the Keaneland Cup against Lismore (senior grade) earlier in the year. Surely a good sign?

JC: The Keaneland Cup was just an appetizer for things to come and gave us belief in ourselves.

BS: In '74 we beat Lismore in the Keaneland. Lismore were one of the top senior teams then. That win gave us the confidence to go on from there.

TD: The Keaneland Cup was a mighty tournament. We never looked upon it as either Senior or Intermediate, just another game but fantastic atmosphere.

 

We received a walkover from Clashmore in the first round. How did this happen?

JC: Can't remember the Clashmore walk over.

TD: No idea. Ask Eddie Cunningham. He was always the brains behind us!

The following round we beat Fourmilewater 3-8 to 1-6...

JC:The Fourmile game was a very physical encounter but our hurling and our fitness levels were super on the day. This day will long be remembered for the death of our own Bill Sheehan a true Tallow man.

TD: The game against Fourmilewter will always be rememberd here in Tallow as the day the late Bill Sheehan passed away on the sideline and with another great Gael and friend of the late Co, Councillor Ciaran O Riain praying the Rosary over Bill. Two true gentlemen supporting their own teams who both loved the game of hurling. Leaba i mbeasc na n-Aingil go raibh acu.

 

We were due to play Cappoquin in the semi-final of the west in September but due to their involvement in senior football it was held up. Training was on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Achallenge game was played against Watergrasshill. How did you find the time gap?

JC:The time gap was no problem in them times. All we wanted to do was be in the field. There was no social media or apps available then so it was easy to motivate players.

BS: There was a big gap between some of the games. We were also playing football at the time. So between training and football we kept going. I also think at the time we were invited into tournaments, in Castlelyons in 74. We beat Sarsfields of Cork who were Senior at the time. We played other tournaments in Castletownroche, Ballynoe and Kilworth. All these were part of festivals. So we stayed around for a few drinks!!!!! I think that social side helped the team to bond in a good way.

TD: Probably went to Redbarn with the rest of the lads.

 

Tallow played Cappoquin four times in the 1970's prior to the 1974 semi final. We were only victorious on one occasion. Did that bother you?

JC: All western teams were always competitive especially as all the games were considered to be local derby's and played as such.

TD: No, you win you lose. Take both equally.

 

The semi final of the west against Cappoquin waasn't played until 24th October. Two months without a game. If that happened now there would be an outcry...

JC: Looking back at some of our fixtures this year not a lot has changed.

TD: I don't see why. Just play it when it comes. What would you be getting excited about? We played an U21 football game in Tramore the day before Christmas Eve.

We also went into the game minus John Lyons our full back with an eye injury and Tom Doyle with a leg injury...

JC: Yes the two lads were a huge loss especially with the size of our panel but that was Tallow then and we played with them on our minds. We had all come up through the Junior ranks together and spirit was the driving force of the day.

BS: We lost John Lyons the week of the Cappoquin game. I went full back in his place. We also introduced Raymond O'Brien (only 17 then).

We beat Cappoquin 2-5 to 1-5. They had won a senior football county final previous to this. We had two goals disallowed for square balls in a game we should have won more comfortably.

JC: Yes we won by a goal at the finish against against our bogey side and a team that produced some of the best hurlers in the western division.

TD: Two goals disallowed? Probably McDonnell charging the goalie.

The Western Final against Ballyduff played before a record crowd in Lismore. They had three Waterford seniors at the time. We won 2-8 to 1-3. Bob Ryan got two goals. Tom Doyle was back from injury, Mutty Curley switched from the forwards to the backs. Billy Sheehan had manned the square. The team had a very settled look about it.

Bar Ned in goals, Richie corner back and Johnny Curley, the team was very young...

BS: I think the team that played in the county final was (ages in brackets) Ned Power, Tom McSweeney (25), B Sheehan (24), R McNamara,J Cronin (20), L O Brien (21), M Curley (24) J McDonnell (24) K Ryan (17), R O Brien (17), T Doyle (23), E Condon (20), J Curley (25), B Ryan, S Tracey (20). Apart from Ned, Richie and Billy Ryan the rest of the team were all under 25. Raymond O'Brien and Kieran Ryan were only 17. Very young although most of them had played for Waterford underage.

TD: We grew up from U14 together with Ned Power always at the helm of it  and it was fantastic that the day arrived when we hurled on the same team together. What a great man he was indeed. Even when in goal he was constantly coaching to the backs in front of him. He played at centre forward as well with us. Richie McNamara would have been those few years above us but was a hugely dependable and skillful hurler and kept many an intercounty hurler scoreless on occasions. Johnny Curley was another of that era and has a Junior County medal as well and is as passionate today as ever and a true hurling man.

 

The county final in November was delayed after the death of the president and was not called off until 11.30pm on a Saturday night. Not exactly ideal...

TD: I don't remember that but it would have been the same for both teams.

 

How did losing the '71 county final to Butlerstown help in the '74 decider?

JC: We spoke about that in the run up to the '74 final and nobody wanted to feel like that again. It was eaasy to motivate us.

BS: I think the loss in '71 definitely helped the the progress of the team. Also the Keaneland Cup had a very positive effect. It gave us the belief that we were good enough, also the fact that Lismore were senior and the Shamrock were senior made more determined than ever to get up.

TD: I would say absolutely none except that we were probably more mature a few years later.

We destroyed Clonea in the final by 18 points. A dream scenario... A 38 year wait to play senior hurling ended...

JC: The final was one way traffic and one that set us on the road to the holy grail senior status. If ever a Tallow team deserved this we were them, a dedicated bunch that always punched above their weight.

TD: To be quite honest I don't remember anything about the game but it must have been great for the club. However the great battles against the local intermediate teams were gone and I never enjoyed the senior games to the same degree. Walsh Park or Fraher Field with a small crowd as opposed to a packed Lismore or Cappoquin venue is a no brainer. The local derby atmosphere was a thing of the past.

 

A lorry carried the team from the bridge to the square. Club president Jimmy Cunningham, Chairman Tom Mulcahy, Secretary John Russell, Ned Power and captain Billy Sheehan spoke. Do you recall any of this?

JC: I remember the lorry and the bonfires that were lit by Gareth Collins and also the singing of Noreen Bawn. All the happy faces in the crowd until I went into Lukies and the rest is history. 

TD: No I don't but it was surely great for all those and the town and parish in particular. As with Ballysaggart this year it was a historic occasion in the overall context of the club and I  now realise what it must have meant to the older generation of the time who had been involved in the club all of their lives. My overall view is that the GAA is entrenched in our lives. Many, many games and occasions I cannot recall but the many great friends I have made, I most certianly can.

Junior Football Quarter Final Tallow 1-11 Geraldines 2-10.

In sweltering twenty degree heat we engaged in knockout football on Saturday afternoon last. The Indian summer had arrived and we got off to a good start with good interplay between Darragh Mulcahy and Jordan Henley set up the meandering Jake Beecher who curled over a delightful first point with less than a minute gone. The next few scores over the following five minutes were all frees and we accounted for one of these from Ryan Grey. It was noticeable however on that physicality of this game was up a notch or two from our previous encounter and there was no easy ball here. The pressure that we had on our kickers meant we had an increasing wides tally and it wasn't until the 17th minute that we troubled the scoreboard after a lung bursting run from Jordan, he offloaded to Ryan who scored a nice point. Ryan converted another free seven minutes later and we trailed by the minimum after 24 minutes 0-4 to 0-5. Great work again by Jordan set up Darragh Mulcahy for a goal chance that we spurned. A minute to go in the half and Ryan curled over a lovely free on the left hand side of goal about thirt five meters out but disaster struck as Geraldines scored a goal just on the conclusion of the half and we trailed at half time by four points, Tallow 0-5 Geraldines 1-6.

Two alterations were made in the second half with Dean coming in  corner back and Tommy coming in corner forward. Robbie Geary positioned himself manning the square and gave a powerful second half performance. Ryan adding to his tally with a good hard worked point. He beat two men before kicking over from his right in a central position, He had another goal opportunity on the 37th minute but Jake's effort was saved. There was heated exchanges and it threatened to spill over at times. Bob McCarthy turned into a human battering ram and was hitting off fellas that moved or threatened to move. Jordan ran himself into the ground, he got some hard hits (fair I might add) and did one somersault that a Russian gymnast would be proud of over the railing.


 

Kieran Geary had a free on the thirteen. With some quarters shouting "to put it over", his scuffled shot billowed the net. Geraldines levelled the game again and then took the lead before Ryan deadlocked the teams again after he picked up a rebound off a Donnchadh blocked down ball. Kieran levelled the match again for the third time in the second half with a good point from play. A minute later as an uncontested kick out resulted in the ball working up the field and the Geraldines scored a goal. Ryan put over a long range free off the ground with a minute to go but we couldn't get a goal to save us. I was critical of our first round performance but the team had showed a lot more heart and football ability in the later stages of the competition. We thank Sean, Tom Bear and Dinny for managing the team and for Diarmuid on first aid.

Team: Michael Curley, Alan Curley, Jake Neville, Robbie Geary, Jake Beecher (0-1), Kieran Frazer, Kevin Henley, Kieran Geary (1-2 1-1f), Jordan Henley(0-1), Ian Beecher, Ryan Grey (0-7 0-1), Kieran Frazer, Kevin Henley, Kieren Henley, Kieran Geary (1-2 1-1f), Jordan Henley(0-1), Ian Beecher, Ryan Grey(0-7 0-4f), Dusty McCarthy, Darah Buckley, Donnchadh Mulcahy, Darragh Mulcahy.

Déise Draw: The last Déise draw is  on at the end of the month. Could all money be handed into to one's promoters as soon as possible.

Five in a Row: The Dublin juggernaut keeps rolling and they completed the first men's senior five in row in the history of the association. There is no doubting their class and athleticism and it doesn't look like it's slowing very soon.  Four under 21's in this decade, forward of the year in U20 football Cian Archer not even on the panel until next year, a manager you took the ego out of Dublin, the financial clout that leaves everyone in their wake, playing nearly all their games in Croke Park, need I go on?

Croke Park Treatment: The red carpet treatment was out in Croke Park on Sunday last for a Tallow man. How lucky was William Murphy that Siobhán was on the Jubilee panel for Waterford!

Summer 2019 is almost at a close with the children returning to school in a few short weeks.  The Summer has been very busy at Tallow Training & Enterprise Centre.  Our summer camps have been hugely successful this year with large attendances at all camps.  We had two very successful weeks of Cookery with the children going home each day with wonderful baking and savoury dishes.  Drama Camp with Marie, was also very well attended with children having great fun, role playing and trying out their acting skills.  This week saw the end our Computer Camp, again with the children learning new skills and getting comfortable with using the computer.  We also had a very successful Movie morning with another one on Thursday 22nd our final one of the Summer.  So all in all a busy summer.  Keep an eye on our facebook page for updates of autumn Kids classes and Movies.

Inter Ccounty Matters: While both Waterford underage teams this past week were badly beaten you would hear a lot of ill talk about getting rid of the county board. It is all find and well to say that but think logically behind who is saying it and who they say will replace them. They is very little new blood involved in clubs at the moment and it's the standard old reliable's who undertake the majority of the work . It is fine and well to knock but are the begrudgers doing anything in their own locality to least have a chance to question those they vilify?

Junior Hurling Championship: Tallow 2-21 Ballyduff 1-10.

The starting team showed a few changes from our last outing and  Seán Slattery played in goals for what I would expect was  the first time in his career.  We started the first half in a slow manner. Evan put over a few frees before we began to settle. He  added two points from play in this period and with Donnacha and Kevin industrious we went  two points up as we entered the 
twenty minute of the game.  Ballyduff orchestrated a goal following on a dropped ball at the edge of the square a minute later. 
Mark went on a long solo run that ended with his shot being desperately unlucky to come off the post.He did add two points from play and his switch to the wing emancipated his hurling. As the half ended we were two points up as the scoreline read 
Tallow 0-13 Ballyduff 1-8. A few choice words by management at half time seem to have a telling affect in the second half. Ballyduff did score the first few points of the second half but that was their lot for the game. The vibrancy of the left hand side of our attack was the telling factor in our win. Eamonn Forbes ran himself into the 
ground. His intelligence use of the ball and the lively Donnchadh Mulcahy piercing runs lead firmly in our superiority. Donnachadhdid reputable damage with his escapades and profited in two points that were very hard earned. His ground stroke on forty 
minutes was repelled only for Shane Feeney to pull first time to the net. Our defense settled a lot better in the  second half with 
both Noel Condon and Eric Hickey benefiting from positional changes. Evan Sheehan billowed the net from close range on the 
fifty second minute and we finished out the game with scores from Eoin and Mark Stewart. Management can feel very happy withour win and it was nice to see us progress with our absentees. There seem a mad rush to run off all the Junior hurling and 
football in July so as our yet we should have of league section finished by the end of month.

Senior Hurling League Semi Final: Tallow 0-12 De La Salle 2-14

With both teams short of a number of regulars, it was no surprise that it took a while for this Senior Hurling League semi final to come to life. In fact, after ten minutes the score was 3pts to 2 in favour of the city side. Both Tallow points coming from Thomas Ryan placed balls after hard won frees by Paul O'Brien. A great ball from Thomas Daly found Donnachadh Mulcahy in space and he drove through the heart of the defence but was unlucky to hit the post. This was to prove Tallow's only goal chance in the first period and was quickly punished as De LaSalle goaled in the 13th minute. 4 further points from Thomas Ryan, 2 from frees, saw us leave the field 5 points in arrears. DLS 1-08. Tallow 0-6.

The second half saw both sides trade point for point. Tallow pushed hard to close the 5 point lead and Jordan Henley was unlucky to only get a white flag instead of a green on 59 mins. A goal then would have reduced the deficit to 3pts. But once again after a Tallow goal opportunity, De La Salle punished us with their own strike to the back of the net for the last score of the game to win out 2-14 to 0-12pts.

All in all, this was a good league campaign with some good wins along to reach our first league semi final in a number of years. Attentions and preparations will now be turned back to Championship when we face reigning County and Munster champions in Ballygunner on Sunday 28th July.
