Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

In front of a big crowd at Chambers Park on Saturday afternoon Dundalk delivered a stunning and ruthless display to see off the challenge of Bangor and capture the All Ireland Junior Cup title for the very first time.
Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.

Robert Rauschenberg (1925 - 2008)
Medium - Oil, graphite, and screen print on canvas
“Painting relates to both art and life...I try to act in that gap between the two.”
-Robert Rauschenberg
Rauschenberg and fellow artist Jasper Johns incorporated commonplace images and materials into their work, as seen here in the inclusion of a Coca-Cola sign. These two artists, who shared an intimate personal and artistic relationship, paved the way for the development of Pop Art in the 1960s.
Confronted with a large, sign-filled, silkscreened photograph and hints of readable language, one cannot help but search Rauschenberg’s untitled picture for meaning. Yet the sheer number and variety of marks and symbols in the image frustrates this endeavor, leading us down a series of interpretive dead ends. Ultimately, the work is about the effort of searching for meaning rather than communicating a specific meaning itself.

This World Class attraction was everything we expected and more. Construction has just begun on a major expansion, but that has been managed in such a way that it does not in any way detract from the experience now.
This album focuses on the artwork inside the buildings and on the other interior spaces including the Eleven Restaurant and the Gift Shop. A separate album posted a few days ago is devoted to the two April mornings that we spent exploring just some of the trails that crisscross the 120 acres of Arkansas forest around the museum.
Alice Walton and her co-creative team can be proud of the vision and execution of everything on this 120 acre site.

This concentration photo relates to the current pandemic we are in. This photo shows the extreme and preventative measures we do to stay safe. Many feel as if they are invincible to the virus which causes numbers of infections to rapidly grow. I had my model wear a glove and sanitize his other hand showing that even though he wore gloves he still needs to sanitize. I also had him wear a mask in context to COVID-19. I edited this photo to have a greenish tint giving off the feeling of illness and a dark eerie tone. (For my reshoot I used the feedback and changed the background to the front door to show that they could be leaving or entering their home. I also used an almost empty bottle of hand sanitizer to create a feeling urgency.)

Dublin Canvas is an inclusive public art project. To date they have had a variety of artists from all age groups - schoolchildren to retirees, all walks of life - barristers to baristas, all nationalities and variety of art disciplines. Graphic designers, illustrators, stencil artists, fine artists, street artists and landscape artists to name but a few. The main objective of Dublin Canvas is to ‘Colour in the City’. Artists have complete freedom on how to achieve this.
Dublin Canvas is fully funded and supported by Dublin City Council. The project came into being from Dublin City Council's Beta project. The aim of Beta projects is to trial new ideas, to innovate and to experiment. In 2013 Beta Projects experimented with a traffic light control box community art project. This trial was deemed successful. Leading on from this, Dublin Canvas was set up to expand on the concept, taking it further, eventually leading to a citywide rollout comprising of 200 boxes.

This image relates to my question "Can you tell a person's sexuality by their clothes?" because it is of a woman saying that the man is gay because he is wearing a tighter pink shirt and has his hair fixed neatly. This directly relates to my project because it shoes how people view men (in this case) that wear the color pink in their wardrobe and in this case the woman views him as being gay. And with the look on her face she does not seem to happy about it, she seems concerned that he is gay or the fact that he is wearing a "gay" shirt in public. I wanted to focus on this question because I have been given looks like this and wondered why, just to find out that is was because of how I was dressed. People nowadays are more comfortable with people being gay, but this project is also an examination of people's comfort with homosexuality.
Dutch pop-art painter Ottograph.
Ottograph who graduated from the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, started to paint at the young age of ten, he liked the idea of painting on the walls of the streets of Amsterdam and has never stopped doing so. Now Ottograph’s art can be seen in galleries, on wall’s, in bars and shops around the world and not to mention the wall’s of the Modern Art Museum of Antwerpen, MoMu in Belgium.
Ottograph’s work is full of color and life. What Ottograph paints is something that reflects to society in general and is something that people can relate to.
On his own or to gether with his fellow artist/friends Ottograph has also set up several successful projects such as CIA (Central Illustration Agencey), which speaks for it self as well as KMDG a group of artist with a backround in illustration, graffiti and street-art who bring together artist from around the world to paint walls and commissions together.
Over the years Ottograph has accumulated several important client’s such as Nike, Mars, MercedesBenz, and Apple i-pod and i-phone just to name a few…

In Las Palmas noemen ze alle VJ's VJ. Behalve Ottograph, dat is de Kunstenaar. Zijn voornaamste bezigheid is namelijk schilderen, en dat zie je terug in zijn animaties, waarin beeld - en niet techniek - de hoofdrol speelt. Ooit was Otto Kruijsen, oftewel Ottograph, nachtenlang in de weer met spuitbussen, om een vette piece neer te zetten op trein of muur. Daar kreeg ie genoeg van, en na diverse omzwervingen meldde Otto zich in 1993 aan op de Rietveld Academie, om schilder te worden. Al snel besefte hij dat hij allang wist wat hij wilde en kon, en helemaal geen zin had om voor de zoveelste keer van voren af aan te beginnen. Tabe Rietveld dus. Een goeie zet, want sindsdien is het Otto voor de wind gegaan.

The Ways of the Wodehouse
Were I to describe every single adventure which Gladys Sparkbright and I experienced on our northward journey from I-slip, I fear I should rapidly run out of parchment. But these were adventures of a rather different order from those I have chosen to relate in this little tome, mainly on account of the homeliness of the landscape in those parts. Although there are great heathland “forests” and wonderful, windswept moors, there is little woodland, and there are very few swamps, so that the monsters which have been my lifelong specialism, being deprived of their natural habitats, are comparatively scarce. One day in early Beltane, as we came down from the moorlands and entered a pleasant, green valley inhabited by nothing but cows, sheep, cowherds and shepherds, I remarked as much to Gladys.
“Hum,” I said, munching on some of the local bread and cheese as we sheltered from the summer sun in a cleft in the hillside, “I must confess to being a little disappointed. The local fauna seems to be prosaic in the extreme. No Hydrus hingefinklii; no Draco terribilis pyromanicus! And no sign whatever of cockatrices or harpies. Fiddlesticks!”
And then, as I should have predicted, Gladys cast aside her pickle-pot, threw her hands up in despair at my ignorance, dug about in her little black bag for her latest miniaturised short-range telescope, and dragged me by the forearm to the bank of the stream.
“Raht,” she ordered, “shut yer gob a minute an’ look at them thare damsel-flies. Thar be nowt prosaic abaht them!”
I spent the remainder of that balmy afternoon pursuing various airborne invertebrates through the marginal vegetation, with Gladys’s telescope clapped to my eye. Twice I fell into the river whilst attempting to get a good view of an iridescent member of the genus Agriidae as it perched like a black-bewinged sapphire on a yellow-flag iris. Three times, I fell over backwards with surprise among tufts of Potomogeton and aquatic Ranunculii as I found myself confronted by the magnified compound eyes of a Coenagrion, gazing insolently at me through the lenses of the telescope. Once, I waded out up to my knees to watch a great, green-eyed Cordulegaster as it hovered above the surface of the stream, depositing eggs with its elongated, gold-daubed abdomen. And all around me, members of the aptly-named order Ephemeroptera undulated obsessively in mid-air like a thousand miniature marionettes on invisible strings.
It was dusk by the time I returned, caked with mud and dried algae, to where Gladys was perched with a cup of tea in her hand, on a high knob of rock overlooking the dale.
“Eee,” she said with a satisfied air, “This’d be a raht good spot ter build a castle, me duck. An’ a nahce wee village dahn on t’ banks o’t’stream. A good place fer Gnomes, Ah reckon. No disturbances, lahk - just peace an’ quiet. Perfect fer thinkin’ an’ inventin’.”
“Hum,” I said, lighting my pipe. “What would you call it?”
Gladys looked at me quizzically. “Why - Ah suppose Ah’d call it Castletown, if it ‘ad a castle. Wot else?” Then she paused and looked towards the north. “But it’ll ‘ave ter wait. We’ve got more travellin’ ter do.”
I found myself reflecting, not for the first time, that the determination with which Gladys had pursued our northward course, and the meticulousness with which she had kept us walking along the Zeroth degree of longitude in spite of all meanderings, suggested that she had some kind of premonition about what lay ahead of us - but as always, something in her eyes prevented me from asking. Not knowing what to say, I handed the miniaturised short-range telescope back to her, and was about to begin enthusing about the glories of the Odonata when she tucked the little contraption back into my pocket.
“Ah won’t be needin’ that ol’ thing any more,” she chuckled with a dismissive wave of her hand.
“Hum, whyever not?” I asked, unable to conceive how one could do without such a fine piece of apparatus once one had tried it.
“Wot d’yer think Ah’ve bin doin’ fer t’last six hours, ‘Ingefinkle?” she said with an exasperated look. “Ah’ve been makin’ a new improved model, that’s wot. Twahce th’ magnification, an’ nowt by way o’ colour fringes! Wot else is a woman ter do while t’ol’ codgers’re off chasin’ damsel-flies? Twiddle ‘er thumbs?”
*
Since I was afraid of appearing stupid, I refrained from asking Gladys how that little black bag of hers could possibly be capable of carrying all her provisions, the perfect pocket-watch, and all of the equipment required for the making of a telescope. We spent the night in the great stone cleft above the valley, before moving on with the rising of the sun.
“Tha’ll be gettin’ yer monsters soon enough,” said Gladys as we climbed the opposite hillside. “Tha knows what’s beyond these ‘ills, Ah suppose?”
“Hum,” I said. “No indeed. I have never been this far north before, so how should I know?”
“Eeee,” said Gladys, “tha’s nowt but a great daft owd bugger sometimes. Call yerself a monsterologist, duss tha? Well! We’ve an ‘undred mahles ter go t’th’Arp River, an’ between ‘ere an’ there - thar’s nowt but Wild Lands. Thar’ll be monsters starin’ at yer from every dark corner, you mark mah words, an’ yer won’t see nowt of ‘em but their eyes, glarin’ in t’ darkness! An’ it won’t do no good ter use yer astrolabe; yer won’t be able ter see t’stars fer vegetation!”
I was about to express my enthusiasm in response to this description, but my breath was quite taken away, for at that moment we cleared the brow of the hill, and I saw at once the truth of Gladys’s claims. The Wild Lands stood before us, a countless army of oak and hazel trees, stretching as far as the eye could see to east and west. Wind whistled mournfully through the gnarled branches, and a great flock of rooks soared into the air and circled mournfully above our heads. Before the woods there was a great ditch and rampart, and I could not avoid the impression that the people of those parts had dug the earthworks as a first line of defence against whatever lurked beyond. The first few rows of trees had been pollarded or coppiced some time in the past, but as Gladys tugged me by the sleeve and led me beneath the gnarled oak boughs, I perceived that, not far beyond the rampart, the trees were wild and untended, their trunks swathed at the base, where light permitted, with impenetrable brambles and nettles. The branches hung thick with grey-green lichens, and the fallen timbers were encrusted with fungi, spewing their black spores into the musty currents of air which swept across the forest floor. And as we walked deeper into the Wilds, there was nothing to be heard but the creaking of ancient bark in the wind, and our own footsteps seemed like distant echoes in the dank and mouldering semi-darkness. There was something unnatural about that darkness, but to this day, I would be flummoxed if you asked me what it was.
As Gladys had predicted, creatures watched us from the shadows as we pressed onward hour after hour. Or at least, I presumed that they did, for I would only ever see them in the corner of my eye - a movement in the undergrowth or the glowing of a slitted pupil - and then, when I swung around to face whatever it might be, there would be nothing there, and Gladys would tut and grab me by the arm once more, dragging me further into the spreading blackness. Sometimes, I could have sworn that we were surrounded on all sides by little pinpoints of light, but wherever I directed my gaze, they would extinguish themselves, leaving me confusedly rubbing my eyes.
“Gladys! Wait!” I whispered hoarsely. “I think I see some tracks!” They were quite unmistakable in the light of my lantern; the naked footprints of a large hominid, freshly impressed on the mould. I observed with some dismay that the prints culminated in deeply-scored grooves, suggesting claws of considerable ferocity. “Fiddlesticks! It’s not Goblins, is it? But I can’t smell them!”
Gladys stooped over the great footprints - which, as I noted with some alarm, were roughly twice the size of my own - first looking through her spectacles and then squinting above them. “Nay!” she said at last. “Tha’s got no need ter get all aeriated. No Goblin were ever that big! That thare is a wodehouse footprint. Daft owd clumsy buggers, they be, but they only ever kill people by accident. Nowt ter worry abaht at all!”
“This is - this is absolutely fascinating!” I cried, and realised with a start that my voice seemed to be echoing throughout the entire forest. But I must confess that enthusiasm had quite driven away all fear. The wodehouse is described in great detail in the bestiaries (though some are marred by their erroneous insistence that wodehouses only live in the Indies, where they do battle with centaurs - a quite ridiculous assertion, since centaurs are the purely mythical products of the over-indulged and under-utilised imaginations of Keltia’s former oppressors). It would seem that a far better summary is that contained in the bestiary owned by Druid Agrimony - admittedly not always a reliable source, but in this case at least, well deserving quotation:
Beware the wodehouse of the woods
Who pilfers packs and steals the goods
Of unsuspecting passers-by,
In lands where none may hear their cry
Of disgruntled, dread dismay!
A wodehouse pelt is grizzled grey,
It dangles down about his knees
And oft is thick with grime and grease.
Hairy too his feet and paws
All four of which do end in claws.
His face is fit to curdle milk
For all creatures of his ilk
Possess a most upsetting scowl.
He slobbers oft, his breath is foul,
And gutteral his gurgling gripe.
He may be caught with bits of tripe
Hung upon a simple trap -
Or failing that, a piece of crap
Will entice him just as well
(But once he’s caught, he’ll give you hell).
A wodehouse walks on his hind feet,
His hands reserved to choke and beat,
Batter, bruise, belay and belt:
The fight’s not worth it for his pelt.
You fool! Flee faster while you can!
Don’t rouse the wrath of the wild man!
I was not, needless to say, particularly interested in the wodehouse’s pelt - unless perhaps to determine whether the proverbial greasiness of wodehouse hair is the product of some uropygial gland, or merely a consequence of unrefined eating habits - but the opportunity to observe the creature at close quarters was enticing for other reasons. There was the question of auricles and ventricles, for a start; by means of my stethoscope I hoped to learn something of the relationship between the wodehouse and the other hominid races. I also hoped to be able to determine whether, in addition to walking on its hind legs, the creature was capable of swinging from overhead branches with its hands. My mind reeled with questions: does the wodehouse possess a tail; does its dentition suggest an omnivorous diet or one composed entirely of tripe and manure; does the creature have recourse to the use of tools; does it recognise archetypal gestures such as laughing, frowning or weeping; is its “gurgling gripe” savage and inarticulate - or does it contain the rudiments of language? In short, I could not contain my excitement - and indeed did not attempt to do so, but instead poured all my energies into communicating that excitement to Gladys Sparkbright, inventor of the Humane Hydra Trap.
“Eeee - Ah don’t rahtly know whether Ah should encourage you, ‘Ingefinkle. Ah’m able ter invent a pocket watch wit’ no friction, a high-resolution oil-immersion mahcroscope, a miniaturahsed short-range telescope - an’ all tha wants from me is traps. Rahtio, then - but this trap’ll be t’ trap ter end all traps - you mark mah words!” And with that, Gladys industriously set about building a wodehouse trap. In the meantime, since our provisions did not appear to include any tripe, I went about the business of procuring a stool (and the means by which I did so must remain my secret). I returned in time to be thrown to the ground by a large explosion which hurled earth up from the forest floor to a height of seven ells. By the time I had staggered to my feet, Gladys was walking towards me, dusting off her hands and cramming her hair back into place with a knitting needle.
“Raht. ‘Ast tha got t’ bait? Eeee! Well done, ‘Ingefinkle - but Ah think Ah’ll let you attach it - to that wee ‘ook hangin’ from that thare bough.”
As I impaled the bait on the hook indicated by Gladys, I surveyed the scene with amazement. Never was a trap so complex, nor so fail-safe: any one of the multitudinous mechanisms of Gladys Sparkbright’s Wodehouse Trap would have been sufficient to secure our quarry. My eyes boggled at the formidable array of trip-wires, bent boughs, greased tree-trunks and divers other contraptions made of chiselled oak-boughs and held together with pieces of knotted string. I deduced that the trap was triggered by the trip-wire, which would cause a piece of twined ivy to wrap itself around the wodehouse’s legs in response to the merest vibration. This in turn would cause one of the bent boughs to swing into the air, carrying the wodehouse with it, where the creature would dangle upside-down above the large, circular pit which had been formed by the explosion.
“Hum,” I said. “An admirable trap, Gladys. If the wodehouse escapes from the ivy rope, it will promptly drop into the pit, which, I perceive, you have smeared with dripping. Well, I doubt whether the dripping will damage the pelt. But you don’t think, do you, Gladys, that the wodehouse might have been frightened away by your explosion?”
“Nay!” Gladys waved her arm dismissively. “Wodehouses’re as deaf as posts. ‘E’ll be in t’ trap bah mornin’, raht as rain!”
*
We retreated into the forest until we were sure that our movements would not frighten our quarry, and then, oblivious to the gaze of a thousand elusive eyes, we sat down and waited. Gladys rummaged about in her little black bag, rearranging things until her ball of string would fit inside. I fiddled with my tinder-box and lit my pipe, and Gladys remarked that she ought to invent an improvement on flint-striking for the making of fire. My smoke rings curled into the darkness; I emptied my pipe and refilled it - once, twice - I know not how many times. Now, the darkness was total, and lighting my lantern, I perceived that Gladys had fallen asleep, exhausted as she was from her exertions.
“Hum,” I said to myself. “I wonder if we’ve caught the wodehouse yet?” and raising my lantern, I wandered off to check the trap.
My dear little Alias - if ever you should find yourself in the environs of the Harp River, do not underestimate the power of the darkness to distort one’s sense of direction. I wandered this way and that, groping on the forest floor in search of the pegs which held the trap, but all I found was mould, mushrooms, and the grooved and pitted bark of ancient treetrunks. At last, I gave up hope, and had just set my mind to finding Gladys again, when there was a loud twang, and my sense of disorientation was magnified by the fact that, so far as my befuddled mind could deduce, I appeared to be hanging upside-down somewhere in the middle of the Wild Lands, my eyes staring into pitch-darkness. To make matters worse, the myriad glowing eyes appeared to have abandoned their furtiveness, and were now gazing hungrily at me to the accompaniment of the licking of a multitude of lips.
“Gladys?” I called, somewhat forlornly at first, but as the eyes increased in diameter, more loudly and with greater urgency. “Gladys? I appear to have met with a mishap. Gladys? Oh fiddlesticks, do wake up!”
But it seemed that Gladys was slumbering blissfully on, and as time crept by and the creatures crept closer, I could feel the blood slowly accumulating at the top of my cranium until my feet felt as though they were encased in ice. Water dripped on me from an overhanging branch, and its inexorable rhythm was driving me to distraction. “Gladys!”
“Eeee! ‘Ingefinkle! What hast tha been up to?” came Gladys’s voice from the darkness. “Yer’ve missed t’ wodehouse, tha knows!”
“What do you mean, I’ve missed the wodehouse?” I cried, feeling quite dizzy and not at all myself.
“Well,” said Gladys, “Ee were with me just now, plain as t’ nose on yer face!”
“Hum. You mean - you caught a glimpse of him?”
“Glimpse? Nay, ‘Ingefinkle, Ah ‘ad meself a nahce long chat with ‘im.”
“You chatted with a wodehouse?” I squeaked. “What did he say?”
“Oh, nowt as could be understood,” replied Gladys consolingly, “an’ ee were a bit deaf - Ah ‘ad ter shout down ‘is lug ‘ole ter make ‘im understand me.”
“I see,” I said, gallantly maintaining my composure, “and what precisely did you do with this wodehouse?”
I could hear Gladys rolling up the sleeves of her cardigan in the darkness. “We ‘ad a nahce ‘ot cup o’ tea, that’s wot!” she said.
“Oh,” I said, because there was very little else worth saying.
“Raht, then,” laughed Gladys. “Well, we’d best be off. Tahme ter be headin’ north again.” The blood at the top of my cranium pounded as I realised that she was walking back the way she had come.
“Gladys!” I blubbered, for I confess that by that stage I was feeling a wee bit of vertigo.
“Eh?” said Gladys’s receding voice. “Wot’s tha gettin’ all aeriated abaht, ‘Ingefinkle?”
“Hum,” I replied. “I don’t suppose you could start inventing a way of getting me down from here, could you Gladys?”
It is at times like those that I wish I had been less ambitious, and chosen to specialise in the Odonata.
Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

Bangor Scorers: David Charles 1 try.
In front of a big crowd at Chambers Park on Saturday afternoon Dundalk delivered a stunning and ruthless display to see off the challenge of Bangor and capture the All Ireland Junior Cup title for the very first time.
Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.

The color brown is a serious, down-to-earth color signifying stability, structure and support.
Relating to the protection and support of the family unit, with a keen sense of duty and responsibility, brown takes its obligations seriously. It encourages a strong need for security and a sense of belonging, with family and friends being of utmost importance.
In the meaning of colors, brown is the color of material security and the accumulation of material possessions.
The color brown relates to quality in everything - a comfortable home, the best food and drink and loyal companionship. It is a color of physical comfort, simplicity and quality. From a negative perspective it can also give the impression of cheapness and stinginess in certain circumstances.
Brown is friendly and approachable. It is loyal, trustworthy and dependable in a practical and realistic way.
In color psychology, brown is honest, genuine and sincere. It relates to the hardworking, the industrious and reliable, with both feet planted firmly on the ground.
It is sensual, sensitive and warm, engulfing one in a feeling of calmness and comfort.
It is a practical and sensible color which implies common sense. It hides the dirt!
The color brown is associated with wholesome, natural and organic produce and anything related to the great outdoors, agriculture and farming.
Brown is a frugal color - it is not associated with frivolity, excess or waste in any form. While it is materialistic, it values quality above all else, and everything in moderation.
Some browns can show a degree of sophistication or elegance, depending on other colors associated with the brown. For example, brown with a soft white or ivory can appear stylish and classy, although more casual than black with soft white or ivory.
Brown suppresses the emotions, creating a safe haven from the stresses of the outside world within which problems can be contemplated and solved.
Brown is a color of structure, although by no means does it encourage perfectionism - rather it encourages orderliness and organization.
The color brown gives reassurance. It is quietly confident but never the life of the party! Brown does not seek attention - it prefers to stay in the background, allowing other colors around it to shine.
Brown is solid with strength and maturity. It prefers to function in its own safe little world - it is not carefree and spontaneous and doesn't like surprises. It can be considered dull, boring and unexciting by many. In fact it is one of the least preferred colors in the western world, along with orange and yellow.
Brown is a predominant color on the planet, along with green. Brown is comforting and stabilizing, while green is balancing and rejuvenating, just what we all need to help us deal with the stresses of modern life.
The psychological meaning of the color brown can vary slightly depending on the colors which are mixed together to create the brown. Brown can be a combination of black, yellow, orange, red, gray, green, blue, pink and purple, and each of the colors in it will add a variation to the meaning.
Jeremy Corbyn showed heavily-redacted government documents, obtained by campaigners, relating to months of trade talks between the US and the UK.
Then he unveiled 451 pages of uncensored documents which he claimed prove US officials put the NHS on the table in Brexit trade talks. Talks were held between the UK's Department for International Trade and the US Trade Representative (USTR), according to the leaked documents. The documents named civil servants and details of negotiations. After one meeting, UK officials admitted the US was pushing for a no-deal Brexit to get more out of a trade deal with Britain. The document said: "USTR were also clear that the UK-EU situation would be determinative: there would be all to play for in a No Deal situation. But UK commitment to the Customs Union and Single Market would make a UK-US Free Trade Agreement a non-starter."

Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

Dundalk Storm To Title Dundalk 55 v Bangor 5 from KnockOn.ie
Dundalk Scorers: Christopher Scully, Owen McNally, Jonathan Williams, John Smyth, Ultan Murphy, Tiernan Gonnelly, James McConnon and Stephen Murphy 1 try each. Ultan Murphy 6 cons, 1 pen.
Bangor Scorers: David Charles 1 try.
In front of a big crowd at Chambers Park on Saturday afternoon Dundalk delivered a stunning and ruthless display to see off the challenge of Bangor and capture the All Ireland Junior Cup title for the very first time.
Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.

This relates to the awful riots and looting by feral consumer units, oops I mean children and young adults who were let loose on Britain's cities to wreak complete devastation on shops, flats and warehouses.
We raised them to think only of themselves and money and now they don't care about anything except getting expensive gear which ever way they can.
I can so relate to this quote. Cars/hot rods/street rods/muscle & pony cars/pickups/motorcycles are for DRIVING/RIDING not sleeping in da garage. I'm not a fan of 'Trailer Queens' and usually chose not to feature them.

Incedently, the lady pictured is a Gainsborough girl born and bred, still living in the town and quite a fan of the "Gainsborough, past and present" publications. I'm trying to persuade her to recall some memories before the oppurtunity is missed and dig deeper into the family albums.
