Fleadh Cheoil Cheatharlach 2018 The town of Borris is, once again, host to the County Fleadh. The focus of the festival is the day of competitions on Saturday 28th April, and these will be held in Borris Mixed N.S. Competitors who perform to a high standard will proceed to the Leinster Fleadh and hopefully onto the All Ireland Fleadh, later in the year. As well as official competitions, we will be hosting a “Fun Fleadh” on Saturday morning. This caters for children from Junior Infants to 6th class who wish to gain competition experience in a relaxed and welcoming setting. The festival takes place over four days in total, from 26th-29th April. There are events organised to appeal to those with an interest in different aspects of Irish culture, including music, dance and the spoken word. Please check our Facebook page (Fleadh Cheoil Cheatharlach) or on Twitter @carlowfleadh for details on these events and other updates. Bígí linn!

Graiguenamanagh Rowing Club
Neptune Regatta
The Graiguenamanagh Rowing Club took part in the Neptune Regatta held at Islandbridge, Dublin last weekend the 7th April. This is a well-regarded rowing event attended by clubs from across the country. The race itself is over a kilometre in length and the competition is fierce as crews’ line up side by side giving it their all to sprint to the end.
This year, the Graiguenamanagh Rowing Club sent a mixture of crews that consisted of junior men and women crews as well as an adults women’s crew. Training this year for the event was incredibly challenging as high water levels and snow prevented crews from training together consistently on the water. Although there was some exceptional performances across the board from the club, it was the women’s junior 18 eight (crew consisted of Grainne Harris, Rachel Doyle, Robin Bolger, Keelin Connolly, Meghan Darcy, Aoife Harris, Rachel Roberts, Ali Flood and Cox Nancy Roberts) and the women’s junior crew that competed in the club 2 quad race (crew consisted of Grainne Harris, Meghan Darcy, Keelin Connolly, Rachel Doyle and Cox Rachel Roberts) that took home gold medals for the club. Although the conditions on the day which involved fast flowing waters, wind and infrequent but heavy showers presented a challenge, it did not prevent the junior 8 from wining in the final against Colaiste Iognaid RC or the club 2 quad from wining against Kings Hospital RC.
The success of the junior women’s crews has been the accumulation of hard work and dedication over recent months and even years with coaches Brian Roberts, James Vine Chatterton and Andrew Hennessy supporting the junior women to reach their full potential.
The club look forward to a full season of racing events over the coming months and aim for more success along the way.

Acknowledgment
The family of the late Tim and Máiread Connolly, 11 Tinnahinch, Graiguenamanagh who died on February 9th and March 17th respectively, would like to thank most sincerely all those who sympathised with them and supported them in their sudden sad loss.
We offer our heartfelt thanks to relatives, friends and neighbours for their kindness and help during a very difficult two months. A sincere word of thanks to the neighbours who preformed a guard of honour for Tim on his return to Tinnahinch. Thank you to all who attended both wakes, and funeral Masses, who sent Mass cards, Sympathy cards and floral tributes. Thank you to the paramedics and hospital staff in St Lukes who looked after Tim so well and so respectfully in his final hours. Thank you to Dr. Byrne and Cathy for their continued kindness and care for both Máiread and Tim during their lifetime. Thanks to the carers who cared for Tim so well on a daily basis.
Thank you to the management and staff of Gowran Abbey Nursing Home for the wonderful care and kindness they showed to Máiread and to all the family over the last five years. We are indebted to you all.
Thank you to Fr Byrne for a lovely service and kind words and to Sr. Cora, Brenda, Edward Holden, Seamus Holden and the Choir for the beautiful hymns which offered some consolation at a sad time. Thank you to the Graiguenamanagh funeral catering committee for the refreshments on both occasions. Thank you most sincerely to Hugh Byrne, funeral director and Seamus Murphy for the sensitive, sympathetic and professional handling of both funerals. Thanks also to Frankie McDonald for his help and to the grave diggers.
As it is impossible to thank everyone individually please accept this acknowledgement as an expression of our deepest gratitude. To all who helped us in any way your kindness will never be forgotten. The holy sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions.
