Older Person’s Award: In each parish there are people who give outstanding service to the community but sometimes get little recognition for it. The Clare Older Person’s Forum is an alliance of organisations that work with older people in the community. Because they believe these local heroes should be more widely acknowledged, they have launched an annual Clare Older Person of the Year award scheme, and are asking groups in each parish to nominate a local person – aged over 55 years – as suitable for the Award. Closing date is 22nd August 2017. Nomination forms and further details available from The Clare Older People’s Council, c/o CLDC, Westgate Business Park, Kilrush Road, Ennis.

Camogie News: Ruan u15 Camogie team went to Ballyea on Wednesday evening for a blitz which also included Whitegate. A slow start in the first match meant Ruan were chasing the game. The Ruan girls were back in contention until a late goal for Ballyea closed it out 4:2 to 2:3. The match was played at a very high standard with fabulous skills on show. The second game against Whitegate was a different affair with Ruan on the up from the start taking a commanding lead with some superb score taking. Ruan never looked in any danger in what was a more physically challenging match winning 7.7 to 1:0. Well done to all the girls, on another excellent performance. Fantastic effort, skills and determination was shown by the girls. Ruan abú.
