They didn’t get off to an ideal start however when shortly after Cathal Mc Gettigan opened the scoring with a free but the Ballintra men nipped in for a goal after 3 minutes despite some last ditch blocks from Paddy Peoples and Gary Merritt. There were few scores in the opening quarter but it was Naomh Brid who got the next point before Pauric Curley got one for Na Galloglaigh after 17. Curley was involved again a minute later when he won a breaking ball off Luke Barrett to set Christopher Barrett away on a one on one with the keeper and he coolly finished to the bottom corner. Joey Cullen almost added a second goal a minute after that but his effort was well saved for a 45. From the resultant 45 McGettigan took it short to Gavin Grier who put it over the bar to put the blues 2 points up. This was certainly a purple patch for the lads as after 22 Gary Merritt scored a sublime score off his left foot and after 23 Kyle Black scored a lovely point from distance. Na Galloglaigh never really pushed on from this despite their dominance and it was the Ballintra men who got the last score of the half to leave it 1-5 to 1-2 at the break. The boys had been wasteful of possession throughout the half and just hadn’t quite got firing on all cylinders yet. Naomh Brid got the opening point of the half but this was quickly responded to by points from Kyle and Chippie before another Brid point on 43. McGettigan put another point between the sides before scoring a goal for himself after 45. Substitute Adam Serrinha, who done very well after replacing Jonny Logue, blocked a clearance before chipping the ball to McGettigan who didn’t have to break stride before finishing to the corner. Naomh Brid pointed just before Darragh Black got his name on the scoresheet but the margin was reduced to just 4 points after 51 minutes when Ballintra ghosted in for a goal. This made for a more nervy finale then it needed to be as Na Galloglaigh had been on top in almost all areas of the field. Serrinha found himself through to almost put 7 between the sides again before his heels were clipped and a Naomh Brid defender received a black card. Luke Barrett scored the free to put 5 between the sides. Naomh Brid scored 2 late points but the 2 points that matter go to Na Galloglaigh who are now 5 points clear of Burt in second, although they have 2 games in hand. The boys should have won this game today more comfortably and were well on top in defence, possession, and chances created, but just lacked that clinical edge they have shown all year that they are capable of. Nevertheless a win is a win and thats all that will matter from the last 2 games of the season either. Next fixture for the boys is away to Letterkenny Gaels on Sunday 18th October. Team: Sean Gallagher, Gary Merritt (0-1), Sean Black, Kieran Sheridan, Gavin Grier (0-1), Enda McHugh, Darragh Black (0-1), Joey Cullen, Luke Barrett (0-1), Kyle Black (0-2), Pauric Curley (0-1), Jonny Logue, Paddy Peoples, Cathal McGettigan (1-2) Christopher Barrett (1-1). Subs: Adam Serrinha for Logue (37m), Tj Evesson, Paul Grier, Kane Barrett, Patrick Ferry*Reserves*CLG BnaG 2-10 Naomh Brid 3-11The Reserves hopes of a Division 3 Reserve league title took a big blow on Saturday when they went down by 4 points to Naomh Brid. They got off to a great start when Dylan Hegarty found the net after 2 minutes and were well on top in the opening exchanges but didn’t reflect that on the scoreboard. Naomh Brid scored a goal in the last minute of normal time in the half to leave just 2 between them at the half, 1-5 to 1-3. Na Galloglaigh got off to another good start in the second half when Kieran Gorman got himself a goal after 33 minutes, but there was an instant reply from Naomh Brid as they went up the field to score a goal themselves. Again the boys had been playing well but were guilty of not taking chances. Naomh Brid went ahead after 38 and left Na Galloglaigh with a lot to do when they got their third goal after 42. With the boys 4 points down and battling hard against a resilient Ballintra outfit Dean Burgess made himself a great goal in injury time chance but his effort unfortunately went narrowly wide. The boys didn’t do themselves justice on the day against a harder working Naomh Brid side and will be relying on other results to go their way if they are to win the title. Team: Gavin McFadden, Barry McNulty, Cormac Friel, Ryan Ferry (0-1), Paul Grier (0-1), Dean Burgess, Kieran Gorman (1-1), Anthony Fisher (0-1), Caolan Mc Gettigan (0-3), Paul Fisher (0-2), Luke Trearty, Dylan Hegarty (1-1), Patrick Ferry.

Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You’re all set! NEWHALL – Check one more animal off the wish list of the Placerita Nature Center. A stuffed and mounted grizzly bear arrived at the center Monday, donated by a Tujunga Canyon woman who heard about the center’s plea for well-preserved roadkill. The young male bear, which stands about 6 feet 4 inches tall, was about 2 years old when Sandy Tietjen’s grandfather killed it long ago, naturalist Ian Swift said. Before its arrival at the Newhall nature park, the bear got a touch-up from taxidermist Martin Ramirez, who fixed one of its feet, repaired the area around its mouth and mended a small tear on the bear’s chest. “We are really excited to have this bear,” Swift said. “I would say on a scale of unusualness, this is a 10.” Swift said that a recent Daily News story about the center’s request for relatively intact dead animals sparked widespread attention, resulting in the donation of some bats and song birds as well as the bear. He pointed out that several animals are still on the wish list, including a black bear, a mule deer, a skunk and “a better raccoon.” “The one we have drowned in a pool, but his fur isn’t as soft and lustrous as it should be, (and) his tail looks more like a rat tail,” he said. “And if we get a skunk, it needs to be one that hasn’t released its scent gland, which only happens about a third of the time. Let’s just say we’re looking for one that died peacefully.” For now, the grizzly holds court in a classroom at the center, but Swift plans to give it more prominent placement when renovations to the center are complete in 2006.

The Bulldogs return to the Knapp Center Nov 4, at 2 p.m. for their first exhibition game against Coe College. Story Links The Drake University Men’s basketball team welcomed fans back to the Knapp Center Sunday, Oct. 7, afternoon for the program’s Blue-White exhibition presented by True North. The Bulldogs faced off against each other in four, eight-minute simulation games. The lineups for the Blue and White teams changed each game as first-year head coach Darian DeVries showcased the Bulldogs’ new-look roster.Antonio Pilipovic (Cologne, Germany) opened the first game with a three-pointer for the White team. Tremell Murphy (Griffith, Ind.) responded for Blue scoring twice in the first minute and a half. The teams were tied going into the final minute when senior Nick McGlynn (Stoughton, Wis) scored the final points to give Blue the 9-7 win.Game two started off with three three-pointers from Nick Norton (Bloomington, Ill.) and D.J. Wilkins (Merrillville, Ind.) for Blue and Brady Ellingson (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) for White. Nick McGlynn went 2-for-2 at the line with 90 seconds left in the game to give White a one-point lead, but Norton’s buzzer beater got the 21-20 win for Blue.”I think the biggest thing people will like about this team is how hard they play and how connected they play,” said Drake head coach Coach Darian Devries. “They’re a hungry group and they love playing basketball. I told them today to have fun with it, play for the joy of it and put on a show for the crowd.”Tremell Murphy scored first in game three for the White team, but senior McGlynn responded quickly with a three-pointer for Blue. With 2:40 left in the game Norton brought Blue’s lead to seven points with back-to-back threes. White fell to Blue 23-15 in game three.Game four started with a tip-in for White from Ellingson. But Blue tied the game in the first minute with a dunk from Tremell Murphy. McGlynn scored back-to-back baskets to put White on top. In the final minute, Norton scored a three-point for Blue after a steal but it wasn’t enough as Blue fell 18-10 to White in the final game.”Once they settled in, I was really happy with our guys’ effort,” DeVries said. “They were excited to play today and be in front of some people. It was exciting to get things going and move on to that next exhibition game.” Print Friendly Version Photos 
Independent Councillor Michael Mac Giolla Easbuig has slammed the refuelling of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) vessels at Irish ports.The Councillor says that the Dutch NATO submarine that refuelled in Cork this weekend is “a clear breach of our neutrality.”He says: “Along with US Warplanes using Shannon, this is a clear breach of our neutrality and it shouldn’t be allowed. At a time when the European Union is pushing for an EU wide army, I think we should be protecting our neutral stance.” This follows the Dáil’s vote in December to participate in EU Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO).“NATO has had a big hand in bringing instability to the world in places like the Middle East and is currently engaged in aggressive military exercises on the Russian borders.“The Irish people were never asked to approve such warships refuelling in our ports and don’t believe many would be in favour of it.”Several protests have taken place in Cork against the refuelling of NATO and US warships. Speaking to The Irish Times following a protest last March, Cork Cllr Diarmuid Ó Cadhla says: “This type of collaboration with the US and Nato war effort exposes Irish people to attack – even though, as a people, we never agreed to such support for wars of aggression.” Councillor: NATO warships refuelling at Irish ports ‘a clear breach of our neutrality’ was last modified: February 4th, 2018 by Elaine McCalligShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window) Tags:CorkNATOrefuelling
