Kinsale U13B Football had a well deserved victory over near neighbours Courcey Rovers on Monday 31st away from home in Ballinspittle.
and Tom O'Connell returning after an absence.
Lee and Rooney and ably supported by McCarthy and Murphy.
Sheehan worked tireless in midfield and was well supported by our forwards of which Luke Desmond was the stand out. Kinsale disappointley suffered 2 late black cards which did not affect the outcome. In other games these could be of immense importance and thus it's important that Kinsale learn from these actions.
However the selectors commented afterwards that they were generally delighted with the application and desire of the players.
Well done to the U14 girls who beat Bandon in their first League game on Saturday, 5-7 to 2-0!
Kinsale led by 2-5 to a goal at halftime. Rosemary Buckley played very well in goal , with some great kickouts. A very strong backline meant Bandon found it hard to make progress. Ashling Power and Saoirse Griffin gave very commanding performances and they were aided by Niamh Stenson , Anna Walsh and Cara O' Dwyer. Jenny Murphy linked up wonderfully with Cork players Georgia Gould and Juliette Cronin. Indeed some of the passing was sublime out of defence. Faye Ahern, Shona Cunningham , Dara Wall , Niamh Cronin , Jenny McCarthy and Sarah Murphy were hardworking forwards and all played well in difficult playing conditions. Orlaith Cummins, Miriam Draper and Sophie Webb were introduced in the last quarter and Kinsale finished very strongly.
Kinsale had a fine victory against Passage in the Rebel Og East U12A football league. Played in windy conditions Kinsale won 1-15 to 2-5. Kinsale playing against the wind in the 1st half led at half time by one point. 1-5 to 1-4. Great defending by half backs Brian O'Neill, Conal Gilleran & Carson Wilheim was the bedrock for many 1st half attacks. Ably assisted by James Rooney & Cian Murphy in the full back line Kinsale were unlucky not to be more ahead. Rowan Palmer was the pick of our forwards in the 1st half. Turning to play with the wind Kinsale motored on with some good forward displays by Conor McCarthy (1-6) John O'Brien (0-4) Harry Sheehan (0-3) & Luke Desmond (0-1). Also dangerous were Daniel O Hanrahan & Jackson Gilbert. When Passage rallied late in the 2nd half Kinsale were thankful for goalkeeper Carwyn Lee and subs Patrick O'Leary, Sean rua O'Donoghue, & Kealin O'Rourke who played well when introduced late on. This leaves Kinsale with 2 out of 3 wins and joint top of the league. Well done to all and thanks to our parents & supporters on the night.
Kinsale U14 hurlers earned a hard fought draw Away against Whites Cross tonight. It was a great all round team performance from an ever improving young Kinsale side. Kinsale started the game well and were 1-1 up before the home side replied with 1-1, Darragh Canty with a great goal and Broklyn with a well taken free. Kinsale's backs were excellent all through the game and never left whites Cross settle, Healy and Barry were exceptional and dogged, while centre back played a classy hours hurling. Full back Evan O'Connor and Conor Mc, continually repelled attack after attack, and goalie Cían O'Sullivan was solid throughout and had an excellent puck out. Kinsale finished the half well and John O'Brien scored a well taken goal to leave the score at half time 2-1 to 1-2. It was a right battle in the second half as the physically stronger WC backs repelled many a Kinsale attack, but with Rian O'Regan playing exceptionally at midfield, hurling a load of ball Kinsale tagged on 2 frees again through Broklyn. WC were really coming at Kinsale at this stage and got a couple of points, one very dubious as the ref over ruled the umpire and soon after WC added a lucky deflected goal whic left the a goal up with 5 mins to play. Backs were on top for both sides and it was a right ding dong battle, sub Darragh Mangan almost got in for a goal but it was Harry Sheehan who nipped in for another well taken goal and left Kinsale with swell deserved draw.

Give your body and immune system the food it needs for Winter. The weather is cold and wet, and it is all too easy to be caught off guard and catch a cold. Nothing beats taking it easy, keeping warm and staying hydrated, but there are plenty of foods that can provide an extra helping hand.
Of course, simply eating an orange won't stop influenza in its tracks, but the cumulative effect of regular, remedial cooking is not to be dismissed. Only two caveats: excessive consumption almost always does more harm than good and a healthy diet should assist but not replace traditional medical treatment.
Why not try some of the recipe links below to stave off the sniffles this year.
We all know that vitamin C is crucial for a strong immune system. It is found abundantly in citrus fruit (grapefruit has the highest concentration of the vitamin), rosehip (rosehip tea with honey is a treat – try it!), chilli peppers (add freshly and finely chopped to your dishes for a bit of heat) and parsley (contains antioxidants, folic acid and boosts the immune system). Also, try starting your day with freshly-squeezed orange juice, sprig of mint (great to cool your body down if you are suffering from a fever) and a pinch of chilli powder.
When I was little and suffering with the sniffles, my mum would make me toast and rub it with a chunk raw garlic. Rubbing it on the bread took away the harsh flavour of raw garlic that can give you an uncomfortable burning sensation inside. I still do this sometimes, and it's a valid old trick because garlic is packed with antioxidants and is a wonderful boost to the immune system. It is also rich in Vitamin C (see above), acts as an antiseptic and even reduces cholesterol levels in the body. In fact, garlic has many other health benefits which are still being studied and documented. Try adding it to your dishes, finely sliced, as a garnish and use it in vinaigrettes for your salads.
We have all heard that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". This wonderful fruit contains flavanoids and quercetin which help decrease inflammation. Apples make wonderful juices and serve as an excellent base for more complex juices with other fruits and vegetables. You could also try a simple salad of sliced apples and grated carrots with a drizzle of olive oil. For a more indulgent dose of goodness, try the classic Apple pie.
Hurra! Hot Cocoa is actually good for you! Of course, adding milk and sugar will always be bad for you, and moreover when you are suffering from a cold or a flu it is best to stay away from dairy as it can worsen inflammation. If you are set on milk I would recommend warming a cup of calcium-rich soya milk with a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder, cinnamon quill and some honey to taste (honey helps with your recovery, reduces the pain of a sore throat and increases stamina).
These oils produce anti-inflammatory compounds, and have many other health benefits besides. Not to be confused with Omega 6 oils, which are sometimes found in processed foods and actually have inflammatory properties. These are still good for you, but not when nursing a cold. The beneficial Omega 3 oils are found in foods such as nuts (particularly walnuts), oily fish (especially herring, sardines and mackerel) and seeds such as flax and canola.
Try an easy Smoked mackerel salad or poach a few mackerel fillets in cider.
This vegetable is a phenomenal powerhouse of nutrition. It is wonderful eaten raw as the vitamins and nutrients are quickly lost when the vegetable is cooked. It has plenty of vitamins (particularly C) and is known to get rid of compounds in the body which may lead to cancer. If eating raw broccoli feels like a step too far, try steaming rather than boiling it to retain as many of these benefits as possible. For a delicious and super-healthy lunch or supper, combine raw or lightly cooked broccoli, finely sliced fresh chilli and garlic, pine nuts and a dash of olive oil with cooked wholewheat pasta.
You may not realise it, but turmeric is actually one of the ultimate superfoods and has been prized for its healing properties since ancient times. These include anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant properties, as well as its mitigating effects on cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's, which are still being investigated. Beyond all this it is a delicious and warming spice, which is extremely useful for cooking in the cold months. I will use turmeric in things like scrambled eggs, soups and stews. Used in appropriate quantities it adds an amazingly bright yellow colour to dishes without imparting an overwhelming flavour.
The Medical Daily website also recommends eating elderberries (which block viruses), mushrooms (that contain selenium which keeps flu at bay) and watermelon (refreshing and rehydrating).
Also check out the recipes we cooked for 'Blue Monday' back in January- those certainly made us feel better!
Good luck keeping those sniffles away!


PayPal. eBay. Facebook. LinkedIn and, now, IBM. Between them in recent months they've announced hundreds of new jobs.
PayPal had announced recently that they were adding 200 to their Dublin base, Brian Cowen had a smile on his face when he let the news out that eBay would be creating up to 150 jobs, Facebook had announced they would double their Irish-based workforce from 70 to 140 after only one year here while LinkedIn announced yesterday that they were setting up their European HQ in Dublin to link up with new offices in London and the Netherlands. This morning saw The Irish Times carry a story on IBM creating up to 200 new jobs in Dublin.
When I started in college in 2001 we were told we'd be lucky to get any kind of a job in the technology sector. Particularly anything to do with the internet.
If I was sitting back in the canteen in WIT reading the business section of this morning's national papers I reckon I'd be doing so with a smile on my face. If the big hitters keep investing and reinvesting, something has to be going right somewhere, yes? That said, those hoping to apply for new positions created by the companies would do well to register for their services and brush up on how everything works.
I would be interested to see the figures on LinkedIn's plans for job creation or its expansion into Ireland but if the big companies keep on coming, how many more from the picture above will we see open doors here? Anyone taking odds on a Dublin-based European HQ for Twitter?
