Co League

Sneem/Derrynane played Kilgarvan in Sneem on Saturday Last. Weather conditions were terrible making it very difficult for both teams to play to their full potential. The home were first on the scoreboard with points from Ronan Hussey and Ian Galvin. Donal Sullivan opened the scoring for Kilgarvan with a free in the 7th minute. Darragh Sullivan pointed for Sneem/Derrynane and Donal Sullivan had another free for Kilgarvan. Ronan Hussey and Donal Sullivan exchanged frees to leave the half time score 0-4 to 0-3 to Sneem/ Derrynane. Ruairi Burns with an early free edged the home side further ahead. Kilgarvan answered with in the 8th minute. While dominating the play for the rest of the half the home team found it very difficult to breach the Kilgarvan defensive set up and a lot of scoring chances weren’t taken. All seemed lost when Kilgarvan got a breakaway goal from Ronan Foley in the 54th minute. Sneem/Derrynane to their credit fought back with valuable late points from Morgan O’Donoghue and Ronan Hussey to tie the game and keep their promotion hopes alive.

Sneem/Derrynane 0-7 Kilgarvan 1-4 .

Ardywanig (continued)

Here are a number of Irish translations. Árd a’Bhánaigh seems to be the most popular. It is sometimes given as Árd a’Bhuadhánaigh (an older form) and Árd Uí Mhánaigh (which comes from Mánach). Manach (no “fada”) means monk and there was a monastery close to the Mounthenry border. Is that just a co-incedence? Árd refers to height/hill which is 483 feet above sea-level at the highest point. Ó’Bhánach is generally understood to be a surname. There were many variations in the English version of the name in the 1600’s and 1700’s with the v, w and n changed about. However it now seems to have settled on “ Ardywanig”.
