Aoife is also Physiotherapist to the very successful Cork Camogie team. They will play Kilkenny in the All Ireland Camogie Final on Sunday Sept 14 2014. Even though Aoife is based in Cork, her heart is always with Kerry so, between working and supporting, Aoife has had a very busy summer.

Headline Copy

If you are my age or older you will remember a pen with a nib, a bottle of ink and a headline copy. Joined up writing in those days was a tricky business and very hard to master. They have it soft nowadays.

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

 I must have written this headline hundreds of times.

Why?

Because it contains all the letters of the alphabet and so was great practice for headline writing.

Pitch and Putt

I walked through the park last Sunday early in the morning and I couldn't help but notice how the pitch and putt course looked in excellent shape. I think there must have been a competition on and the course was a credit to the hard work of the local committee.
