Juvenile Football

10.00pm..........Under 12 team lost out on a place in the Western Final after a gallant display against a much fitter and stronger Clashmore-Kinsalebeg team earlier this evening. We were two ponts to the good at half time but came out the wrong side of a 3-9 to 2-6 scoreline at the end. Still, Ardmore have a lot of very promising youngsters and many of them are still under 12 for next year. Not a bad season really seeing as they got to the Western Final in the hurling and as far as semi tonight. Well done. Now we can all get ready for the schoolboy soccer season.....yehaaaaaa !!

Give me your hand...

The lovely ladies from Waterloo, who are an ABBA tribute act : performing at Ardmore Pattern Festival 2009. A fantastic few days was had by thousands of folk who crammed the streets and lanes of our little village from July 24-26 last.

Pride restored

No more talk of the 2008 Final. Today the real deal. A solid exciting match with marvellous scores and performances from both teams, no dirty play even though Barry Kelly flashed a good few cartai buis and at the end the better team on the day won. But they are beatable and the gap between the Cats and the rest of the hurling world is closing.

Ardmore Ladies..and a few outsiders

Our dog Harry

An absolute pet but don't be fooled...he would disappear for hours off down the village if he could. Frontdooritis

Kerry Footballers

Well Holy God as himself used to say. What has been going on down Kingdom way over the last few months ? A six or seven week long training session(the qualifiers) or a genuine redemption all of a sudden on a fine day in Croke Park. One thing is for sure. The display of pure Gaelic Football by the men from Kerry was jawdropping, eyeopening and any other adjective you wish to use.

Just give them Sam now and save all the others the suffering that was inflicted on the "boys" from the Pale.

Wagons Ho!
