Moyross is Blooming 2010

The aim is to Promote and improve the image of Moyross in a positive way. This will add colour to our Parks, lift the spirit of the community and will encourage residents to plant more summer bedding. It will be a sea of colour with a variety of flowers to choose from. It is wonderful to see so many residents making window boxes and hanging baskets. Last year residents from Moyross, Caherdavin, Shelbourne Road, Thomondgate, Ballynanty, Parteen and killaloe took part in the project. The total number of window boxes and hanging baskets filled was 275. This is an annual event in the Moyross calendar

Closing date for this project was Friday 23^rd April 2010. Orders with Contact Details were placed in the boxes provided in the Reception of the Moyross Community Enterprise Centre and the Credit Union Office in Moyross. Residents have been contacted with the time and date when the project will take place. Only those with names and addresses in the boxes will avail of this offer.

A project like this does not just happen without a lot of tremendous hard work and commitment behind the sense. Tracy McElligott, development worker with the Moyross Residents Forum Ltd wish to thank all the members of the Flower Project Committee for all their hard work, time and commitment to the project. It is wonderful working with you all.

This project can be repeated in any community around the city or county. All it needs is a few dedicated committed residents to take it on board. The membership of the Moyross is Blooming Great Committee is Nuala O Connell, Anna Price, Deirdre Bond Ryan, Kathleen McCarthy, Deirdre O Driscoll, Eileen Ryan and Eileen Sheehan. Paul Partnership under Community Development funded the project in 2008 which helped to purchase the materials making this a self sustainable project. Now the project generates its own revenue from the sale of the window boxes and hanging baskets.

Moyross finish the season in style

BY ROSS RYAN

Moyross A team smashed five goals passed Glenview last night in their final league game of the season. Goals came from three of the Quinns with Barry, Dean and Tommy grabbing a goal apiece. Patrick Roche scored two goals to finish off the goal fest.

Centre-half Dean Quinn was delighted with the outcome: “We played well, the lads were fantastic, Lee Redden played out of his skin.”

The recently crowned champions will face their biggest task yet when they take on Premier giants Ballynanty in the semi-final of the Lawson cup on Sunday 16th of May. The team will be in confident mood after beating the then top-of-the-Premier League Janesboro FC.

Earls’ former neighbour GUTTED when he scored

CAPTION: The first try Earl’s scored that led to anguish by one Munster supporter

BY ROSS RYAN
Tommy Barrett originally from Pineview Gardens, Moyross was more disappointed than most on Sunday after the defeat Munster suffered at the hands of Biarritz.

And bizarrely, he was really put out by a try scored by his fellow Moyrossonian.

Tommy, once a player with Limerick FC and now playing with Fairview Rangers was close to putting a bet on Keith Earls to score the first try. Keith who is originally from Dalgaish was injured up until the start of the game and was a major doubt before kick-off.

“I’m gutted, I put money on Earls every time he put on a Munster jersey and the one time I don’t he scores the first try”.

Munster went on to lose the Heineken Cup semi-final 18-8 and were out-played throughout the 80 minutes.

Tommy now lives in Six-Mile Bridge but still has family in Pineview. His dad, Billy, was for many years the manager of Moyross Utd.
