Monks take rap for garden

BY ROSS RYAN

It was party time in Delmege Park last Sunday for the opening of the Monks garden. Keith Earls and singer Leanne Moore were there to cut the ribbon infront of a large crowd of onlookers . The Monks have been working hard the last year to turn the remains of three houses into a beautiful garden full of blackcurrants, gooseberry bushes and a small pond.




Keith spoke to the Limerick Leader about the community,

"A lot of lads in the community built it so that makes it more special. It's a Fabulous job, they should be proud of themselves."

Later in the afternoon there was a rap contest entitled 'Stars In The Hood', where youths from all over the city took part. Stars included Jay Red from Killeely and Asa, 'A.D.D.' Fitzpatrick from Delmege Park, who is featured in this month's Moywrites magazine.

Earls’ former neighbour GUTTED when he scored

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

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.
