The Mayo branch of IMPACT Trade Union last week instructed 450 members in Mayo local authorities to refuse to meet with, take phone calls/e-mails, or deal with any written correspondence/representation from Fine Gael councillor Peter Flynn, following his remarks made at the recent county council meeting where he hit out at the industrial action being taken by the members of the public service unions in Mayo County Council in their dispute over pay cuts. Councillor Flynn has hit back at such treatment saying that he is being backlisted in Mayo “because I dared to speak out against the trade union movement”.

Having impressively accounted for near neighbours Offaly in the opening round of the Cadbury’s Leinster u21 football championship, Westmeath are in action again this Saturday in the quarter final. Kilkenny provide the opposition in a game fixed for Nolan Park at 2.30pm. Even allowing for the fact that Westmeath will be forced to line out without a host of regulars due to college commitments, it’s inconceivable to think they could slip up against lowly Kilkenny.

A Galway man with a history of anger issues was fined €700 at Galway District Court this week for hurling abuse and “racial comments” at cleaning staff at University Hospital Galway.

What a difference a few days make. In these pages last week this writer said that Castlebar needed to see some improvement against Monivea last weekend or it could be a long hard winter in Cloondeash. And that’s exactly what happened as Rory Casey’s side saw off Monivea by four points to hopefully give them a springboard for the winter.

Corinthians had a try by winger Dave Murphy three minutes from time to thank for getting them out of jail against Sunday’s Well at a cold but sunny Cloonacauneen on Saturday. The hosts produced their worst performance of the season in front of a good home crowd as they struggled to match the visitors’ superior work rate and aggression. The Cork side entered the contest with a solitary win from five outings while Corinthians started with their only defeat coming in their last game against Old Wesley. The hosts might have read too much into that particular statistic as they were sluggish and sloppy throughout and were fortunate to prevail at the end of an uninspiring contest.

A man who was found guilty of a robbery at Ashgrove Stores in Carlow in July 2006 was given a suspended sentence of six years at this month’s sitting of Carlow Circuit Court.

A determined and hungry Young Irelands (Gowran) came good to deservedly land the Junior ‘A’ league title at a wet and miserable Thomastown last Sunday night. Their southern opponents were left to rue the squandering of seven goal chances.
