| Tarbert Notes - Week Ending 8th May | |
| THE organisers
of the Charity Walk held in Tarbert on Good Friday in aid of
Listowel Hospice wish to thank most sincerely all who helped and
participated in the walk and also wish to thank everyone for their
generous contributions. The amount raised from the Tarbert walk was
a massive €4184. A special word of thanks is due to Mary Kelly for
all her help. The Soup Kitchen held in the Community Centre on Good Friday in aid of Listowel Hospice, which was part of the Lenten Programme, realised the sum of €1250. Thanks is due to the ladies who made the soup, to Kevin O' Connell and all involved and to the people of the Parish for their generous support. Both cheques will be presented to Listowel Hospice Group in the Community Centre on this Thursday night, May 8, at 9pm. All are welcome. This was a phenomenal achievement for these two events on Good Friday and great credit is due to all concerned. |

| SUCCESSION ATHLETES
: Well done
to the three Prendiville sisters Aoibheann, Sorcha and Sinead of
Pulleen, who represented Ireland in the Leamington Grand Prix of
race walking held in England recently. Sorcha and Sinead competed in
the U15 3000m walk. Sorcha, despite not being well the morning of
the race, just missed out on the medals, finishing in fourth place
in a time of 15.10 minutes. Sinead also put in a fine performance to
finish in eighth position. Aoibheann competed in the U17, 500m walk
event and finished in an excellent sixth position. The sisters who
are members of Listowel AC will be underage to compete in this age
group of events again next year. At the county championships Track and Field held last weekend at An Riocht Track, the three sisters finished in the first three in the U16 3000m walk. Sorcha came 1st, Aoibheann 2, and Sinead 3. Surely a proud result for the three athletes and their parents. Also at the championships a fourth sister, Julie, brought further success for the Prendiville sisters when she came home 1st in the girls U14 1000 walk. |
