Writing a short while ago about the McCarthy's, whose salmon gave himself up reminded me of a story Robert told me about a night fly fishing for sea trout on The Roughty River. Just after it got dark he had some great sport as it seemed a large shoal of sea trout had come into the Angling river. He caught a couple and then lost a few more, as if a switch had been turned off the lakes stopped. He caught nothing for quite a while. As you may know fishing for sea trout in the dark means you are fishing blind and any show of light will frighten the fish. Robert had to leave the water NWitho tes... to check his cast to discover that his favourite fly, a Peter Ross, was John O’Hare missing off the dropper. Replacing it with another pattern he started off fishing again and caught several more good sized trout. At about 2am he decided to finish up as he had enough fish so collecting up the rest of his It is that time of year again when the rules and regulations governing gear he went home, taking the trout out of his bag and putting them on a salmon and sea trout fishing for 2011 are issued by Inland Fisheries plate (he had a couple of real beauties) he placed them in the fridge.

As he swears he effectively been closed to fishing with a catch and release policy in place did not leave it in the fish when he caught it first the conclusion is that, because the numbers of salmon now coming into the river are below having gone off with the fly in his mouth the trout then took another fly sustainable levels.

Kenmare News [email protected] Page 13 Pac A Sac comes to Kenmare Pac A Sac is a totally new innovation in domestic refuse disposal. Pac A Sac has been designed and manufactured in Ireland and is available for the first time in Kerry, at Whyte's Centra Kenmare. Pac A Sac offers huge advantages over traditional waste collection methods, the Pac A Sac machine is cheap, clean, efficient and environmentally sound to use. The machine can be used at any time, once you have purchased a token in Whyte's Centra for €6. Simply bring your sacks of waste to Whyte's Centra when it's convenient for you, and dispose of over two sacks at a time (170 Litres) in the easy to use machine. By using the machine only when you have accumulated enough waste, means you save money, as much as 50% saving on some traditional collection methods. And because you can combine your waste disposal with a trip to Whyte's Centra, you are reducing the carbon foot print of your waste disposal, in that a refuse truck doesn't needed to trundle up and down all the roads to collect bins. Instead a truck is only needed once to empty the Pac A Sac machine containing over 400 sacks. Join the growing number people who are saving money by using Pac A Sac, and doing their bit to save the environment. A helpful tip for customers new to Pac A Sac is to divide your waste into several smaller bags, this will enable you to load the machine more effectively.

It enjoys an enviable site overlooking the water and the owners are embracing the suggested changes with gusto.

Right then, time to get the ball rolling.

Whenever you can get outside you should launch a major attack in tidying up the garden. No point in doing anything else until this is done. Branches, twigs and the last of the autumn leaves need to be collected up, broken branches pruned back, cut back the dried stems of last season’s perennial plants, prune the summer flowering shrubs ( NOT the spring flowering ones) , sweep the patio, clean the pots and window boxes and pull up any weeds that are still in the flower and shrub beds. This tidy up will also remove the over wintering shelter for a lot of unwanted bugs and slugs. The robins and other birds will give you a hand as you go along. All of this should immediately give a fresh look to the garden. A bit of spring sunshine and the spirits Kenmare young people will also be lifted !

As for the flower garden, its fairly dismal at the moment. The overwintering Pansies and Primroses have been battered by wind, rain, snow and ice but will start performing again once the weather warms up a bit. Spring bulbs are way behind time at the moment but are beginning to shoot up above soil level now. The winter flowering heathers however must be the number one flowering plant at the moment as no matter what the weather it has continued to flower nonstop since November. But in a few weeks time there will be a good range of plants available for planting up containers. So over the next few weeks there is plenty to do and plenty to plan and contemplate.

Out in the garden centre we have just received this seasons supply of flower and vegetable seed. Seed potatoes and onion sets are due in by the end of January so its all ‘grow’ from now on...spring is coming !

Sunday Jan 16th Premier A the National Cup. Kingdom Boys are now string favourites to go to the Lisselton Rovers 4-2 Inter Kenmare last 4, and go to Cavan for their next round. And they will be surprised Inter travelled to play Lisselton Rovers for the second time in 7 days. if they get a tougher game than this one. Inter started without John Inter were without 8-goal striker Sean Murphy (injured) and Dave Hayes (Keeper) and Brian Clifford (Striker) and these two guys would Fenton (abroad) who tormented Lisselton the previous week. On a have been a big help if they were available. Kingdom Boys went ahead windy day Inter made the best of the conditions with Dan Cahalane early on, but Owen O’Sullivan equalised for Inter who were level at ruling the midfield. Early on Connie Cremin and David Clifford had the half. In the last 30 minutes Kingdom Boys really upped their game, half chances, but couldn’t make anything of them. On 26 minutes and scored two excellent goals. Inter never stopped trying though and Lisselton scored after a super turn and cross from their No. 7. Inter got in James DaSilva, Cian Hallissey, Denis O’Neill and Colm O’Sullivan right back in it and Connie Cremin latched on to a ball over the top they had top performers on the day. and buried it with his left foot. Two minutes later though disaster Under 14 Boys Division 1 struck when Giggs O’Mahony beat Inter’s left back and sent in a cross Inter started well against Mastergeeha and could have scored early for Mouslim to head home off the bar. There was no let up from Inter after some neat approach work from Patrick Clifford, Josh Holland, and after a series of corners Shane Dalton rose highest to head an Fionan O’Sullivan, Fintan Kennedy and Killian Spillane which was to equaliser. Inter turned around at half time confident that there were be a pleasing feature of Inter’s performance throughout the match. points to be had, but Lisselton showed their quality in what was now a However Geeha scored first after some good work by their wide man really open game. Inter got caught on a counter attack with an down Inter’s left flank, Inter failed to deal with the resultant cross and excellent move down the Lisselton left. A missed clearance left Geeha were quicker of the mark to ram the ball home, 1-0 to Lisselton through on goal and he scored. Inter threw the kitchen sink at Mastergeeha. Kenmare refused to panic and continued probing the the game at this stage, and Steven O’Shea came within inches of Geeha defence until they won a penalty which was dispatched with putting Connie Cremin through on three occasions. Unfortunately aplomb by Josh Holland. 1-1 at half time. Disaster struck immediately Lisselton are masters at playing on the break, and some superb work upon resumption of the second half when Geeha scored with a through Mouslim down the left saw him put their other striker in for a speculative effort straight from the kick off. They added a third after simple header. On 90 minutes Inter put four one-touch passes together Inter failed to adequately clear a corner, 3-1 to Mastergeeha. Inter in a move started by Robert Hodnett where Paul Cassidy set up Connie refused to be bowed and commendably hauled their way back into the Cremin whose shot was blocked on the line by a Lisselton defender game with an own goal from Geeha and a fine goal from Killian who was sent off for hand ball. The penalty finished up in the trees Spillane playing in the strikers’ role to make it 3-3 with 5 minutes left. behind the goal though, to cap a disappointing day for Inter. Best Inter almost scored the winner before succumbing to a defensive mix players: Philip Duggan, Denis O’Shea(sub on 30 mins) Stephen up and the winner for Mastergeeha. Kenmare can be proud of O’Shea and Connie Cremin. themselves as they never let their heads drop and continued to play the Division 2A better football throughout the match, Kenmare were well served by Baloonagh 0-1 Inter Kenmare B David Cremin, Patrick Clifford, Josh Holland and Killian Spillane.

Donal O’Sullivan- Under 12 Boys Division 1 Casey and Mark Granville were well in charge at the back, and Eoin Inter Kenmare 1-2 Camp Utd Finnegan and John Granville moved the ball quickly to ensure a host Inter were possibly over confident in this one, and were caught by a of chances for the Inter front men. Yves Schoenamachers had a one-on- very game Camp side. This was possibly the best game of the three on one that went wide. Jason Taylor clipped the crossbar, Sean Sheehan Saturday, with both sides putting on a great show. Scorers and match had a shot saved as did Gearoid O’Brien. Eventually though Inter got report will be up here as soon as we get it. the break through with a Patrick Cremin shot from 25 yards that the Under 12 Boys - Kerry Update Baloonagh keeper will not be happy about. Inter set about defending Denis Cronin, Dara O’Siochriu and Daniel Taylor have made it into the the lead for the last 20 minutes, and despite the best efforts of finalised Kerry under 12 squad, and all three were selected to play for Baloonagh’s no 7 and no 15, Inter held firm, with Ronan Twomey Kerry against a Limerick League selection last week. All three saw coming to field any long ball sent into the box. An excellent win for game time, with Dara O’Siochriu really standing out in his game, and Inter then, with Donal O’Sullivan-Casey, Mark and John Granville, Denis Cronin and Daniel Taylor each got an assist in for Kerry goals. Eoin Finnegan and Patrick Cremin the top men. Great credit is due to the three boys and their parents (driving to Saturday January 7th Under 16 Girls League Killorglin and Tralee is not easy) and it’s a big honour for the club to St. Bernards Park 1-11 Inter Kenmare have three players representing inter at such a high level.
