Scarif

Well, good evening.

You're listening to Scarif Bay Community Radio and it's the week ahead.

Our first, well it's not our first programme, but it's our first live programme of the weekend from half six to seven.

And we're having a look at what's happening in East Clare generally and we'll go a bit wider than East Clare if we have to.

So

quite possibly.

And also in the Edna O'Brien Library here in Scarif, they're holding a teen book club.

I think this is separate from the book festival because the book festival is primary school.

We just got to, like, we're trying new territory battle maps right now.

And so we just went to Scarif for the first time, for me, at least.

And I was like, this is exciting and fun.

Like, it was new and exciting, and it wasn't actually, it was pretty easy, in fact, compared to what I have.

Like, I think Rings of Kifrin are way tougher, actually, than the Scarif ones.

At least, we only did it once, but...

It was, no, it was cool.

mean, I think...

it's weird because there, there are locations that seem like they would be fun for, for something like you could totally put like a, a roller coaster on the beaches of Scarif.

That is just driving through an attack from.

Oh

yeah.

I was trying to think of a Scarif one.

Yeah.

You know, like, you know, beach side roller coaster.

Good afternoon, you're listening to Scarif Bay Community Radio and this is Local Media This Week.

the programme where we have a look at what they're writing about in the local print media here in County Clare, the Clare Champion and the Clare Echo, and we have a chat about it here and let you know what they are writing about.

Our panel is ready to go.

I'm nearly sure she's a doctor by profession.

She's there with her little daughter, Alicia.

But Claire McMahon is one of those, I suppose you could maybe, Mariette Scanlon being long-serving, you know, with Scarif O'Connor, probably one of the best players, if not the best player last weekend.

and you have a few like that and maybe around two in every club but uh it's just nice to see how they were a little child who's looking a little bit skeptical about the camera but uh kilmaley obviously delighted to get the county final and of course the other highlight of that from the kilmaley point of view in general was that emir constantine Former Irish international rugby player and pundit on rugby matters and a Gael gore as well.

Was back centre back for them.

We'll start by reflecting though on the TUS Senior Hurling Semi-Finals where Kilmaley and Ina Kilnamona are looking forward to the build-up to this year's showpiece event.

Kilmaley were first through after a 25 points to an 11 win over Scariff that saw them reach the final for the first time since 2004.

After the game I spoke with Patrick Berkman who's our man of the match Conor Cleary but I first caught up with their manager Brian Culbert.

There was a lot of emotion there because we spoke all week it was about the last 22 years for a club to put that I suppose past failures to bed like a lot of managers and a lot of teams have put in a lot of effort over the last 22 years here and not to get the county fine with the players they've had and I suppose the managers and the managements they've had have put in some effort to say we've got these that we've done this year and We owed it to them and we said that was all we were playing today.

Now, they've had no maybe terribly serious tests so far, and that will come down the road, but there's no doubt their confidence will be good with the start that they've had in the league.

So, all in all, the other clubs need to get their acts together if they're going to close the gap on Newmarket, because as far as I can see, having seen Newmarket in a number of their games now, they are improving with every game.

Dean Hegarty played very well wide on the left yesterday, back day they also played well and then they were able to bring on a couple of subs that made a big difference to them Darrell Leahy came on scored a cracking goal Owen Kelly as well came on so they have a good strength in depth and of course they'll be really looking forward now to the outside games that will come up in the Munster Junior and in the FAI there in the first division then Derek Connolly Celtic who had been having a very good run up till now were beaten 4-0 by Avenue B while up in Scariff, Mount Shannon and Shannon Olympic played out a seven-goal thriller with Shannon Olympic winning by four goals to three.

And that would have been a badly needed win for Olympic as well there.
