Oral History CDs Launch.
Was at the launch of the most recent batch of oral history recordings for Co. Offaly last Friday, by the Offaly Historical and Archaeological Society in Tullamore. Local people who's reminiscences are now recorded are Pat Killeen and Kieran and Eilish Kelly. Also included are Mary Ryan, the last resident left in the townland of Curraghbee and Seamus Claffey of Ferbane. Copies of these recordings are being placed in the Irish Universities for future research and of course they are also available at OHAS, Tullamore. Extracts from the recordings are broadcast each Saturday evening at 6pm on Midlands Radio 3.

GAA.
Mixed fortunes for Shannonbridge in the league last weekend. Our Seniors were beaten by Walsh Island on a score of 2.13 to 0.10. Looks as if Walsh Island could be on the way back to former glory and the line up of the Intermediate Championship will be interesting with Doon and St Bridgids also looking for a quick return to senior status.
Our Juniors recorded a good win in the Div.4 League by overcoming Rhode by three points - 1.12 to 1.9.
