MAYFIELD MATTERS FREE YOUR COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER FREE ISSUE 82 OCTOBER / NOVEMBER, 2015 CONGRATULATIONS SHAUNA When most of us think of Semple Stadium, men’s football or hurling is probably the first thing to come to mind but for Mayfield Ladies Football Club, and one player in particular, it now carries a much more significant meaning. Shauna Cronin (17) has worked tirelessly for the past few years and has had to overcome some huge obstacles; coming from such a young Junior A 13-a-side club for starters (est. Dec. 2008) to prove her worth on a Cork panel, and this year she did it with style. Shauna was instrumental in securing Cork’s place in the All-Ireland Minor final with her late goal in the semi and ensured she added to the score line in the final (1-1) helping the Cork Minors win their 8th All Ireland title. Shauna is a pleasure to watch on a pitch. Her work rate and ability to read a game is second to none, she is encouraging and an inspiration to her team-mates and our younger players have a wonderful role model to look up to as Shauna also manages to excel in other disciplines (we don’t know where she gets the time or energy). When Shauna began playing football she was a small little bit of a girl, who you may think might be knocked over easily, and there were some tears in the early days but Shauna’s determination was obvious, even back then. She has developed into a tall, strong confident footballer and we are certain that she will continue working tirelessly to keep the red & white jersey of Cork on her back. We are so very proud of her and all that she has achieved, she has put Mayfield Ladies Football Club on the map and our hope is that she won’t be the last Cork player to do so. Congratulations Shauna, you deserve every success and you have once again made your family, club and community very proud; Shauna Cronin with her parents, Marion & AJ, and we cannot finish without also congratulating her mother, celebrating her All-Ireland win with Cork. Marion Cronin, who is part of the management panel for the now All-Ireland Minor Champions, 2015.

THERE IS A BUZZ FOR LIFELONG LEARNING IN MAYFIELD On Wednesday, 9th September 2015 dozens of local people attended the annual information sessions held in the CDP Community Resource Centre, 328 Old Youghal Road, Mayfield. Information on courses, services and supports was distributed to those who came and they were able to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and a chat in the back garden of the Community Resource Centre. The Aisling Service Pop-up Café team (right) ably provided these light refreshments. The buzz of people coming in and out of the centre with information and a plan about what course they could avail of in the coming weeks was energising and positive and reflects the continued need for a variety of courses, services and supports that the Mayfield community has. The organisers of the event, the Mayfield Community Education Network would like to thank all of the groups that had an information stand on the morning and the Mayfield CDP Community Resource Centre team for their help with the set -up of the event. Thanks to the Old Youghal Road Community Employment Scheme for the use of tables and of course to the Aisling team for their work organising the teas and coffees. Finally thanks to all of the people who attended the event and made it a success.
