Enniscorthy edged by battling Bangor by Roger Corbett
Bangor produced an excellent performance against a strong Enniscorthy side to once again come from behind and secure a semi-final place by 14-10.
In contrast to last week, the weather and pitch conditions at Upritchard Park were good. However, Bangor’s preparations got off to a bad start when centre Mike Aspley aggravated an injury in the pre-match warm-up and was unable to play. A quick re-shuffle saw Chris Morgan come in from full back as his replacement, and Adam McCusker taking up the full back role. For Enniscorthy’s part, they came to this fixture on the back of a good run of results in the Leinster League Division 1A, and sitting in second place in that table.
A mistake by Bangor right from the referee’s whistle at kick-off looked to have handed the visitors an opportunity to take the initiative. However, having won the ball back, McCusker put a superb kick deep into the Enniscorthy twenty two that left the defence no option but to put it into touch. The Bangor line-out was taken cleanly by Curtis Stewart, and a maul was formed that surged towards the Enniscorthy line before Jamie Clegg dropped with the ball and scored the game’s first try after just 4 minutes. Mark Widdowson made the conversion, and the score was 7-0.
Within 3 minutes the lead could have been extended when Enniscorthy were penalised for a high tackle. However, this time Widdowson’s kick drifted wide of the posts.
If Bangor thought things were going their way, this soon changed as Enniscorthy gathered themselves and started to gain confidence through a lengthy period of possession, aided in some part by Bangor’s readiness to kick when in possession themselves. The Enniscorthy attack was now causing Bangor headaches, with the result that the penalty count started to rise. Eventually these repeated infringements around the breakdown led to a yellow card being shown to James Henly. Enniscorthy saw this as their opportunity to capitalise, and laid siege to Bangor’s line. Bangor doggedly held their line despite conceding further penalties, and having to defend the resulting line-out and drive combination by Enniscorthy. As Henly’s 10 minute period in the sin bin came to an end, Bangor had somehow managed to hold off the Enniscorthy attack, and had actually managed to turn over the ball, giving them a chance to clear their lines and gather their breath. However, in a bizarre series of events, Ricky Armstrong’s clearance kick was charged down and bounced back towards the Bangor line, only to be gratefully accepted by one of the big Enniscorthy forwards who was still getting to his feet from the preceding ruck. With barely two steps to the line, he touched down for the try, leaving the Bangor players confused and dejected after working so hard to prevent the score. The conversion was missed, keeping Bangor narrowly ahead by 7-5, after 23 minutes.
For most of the remainder of the first half, Enniscorthy kept play in Bangor’s half. Bangor looked dangerous on the counter attack, with some good runs by the wingers Davy Charles and Mark Widdowson. For Enniscorthy’s part, they had several good scoring opportunities but either knocked-on or missed a pass at the crucial moments. A half time score of 7-5 would have been gladly taken by Bangor but, as 40 minutes approached, a lapse in concentration while in their own twenty two, led to a missed tackle which was clinically exploited by Enniscorthy, allowing them to run in for their second try which, although unconverted, gave the lead by 7-10 as the sides turned around.
As has been the case in many other games, Bangor’s second half performance moved up a gear, and it was now the visitor’s line that was coming under attack. Within the first 10 minutes, Bangor looked to be in a good scoring position, but the Enniscorthy defence was equal to Bangor’s first half display. Although unable to break through at this time, Bangor were now looking more confident as the initial Enniscorthy charge appeared to be stuttering. This certainly looked the case when, after 25 minutes had elapsed, the Enniscorthy kicker elected to go for the posts from close to the half way line – a strange decision given the relatively poor conversion attempts earlier. Once again the kick was missed, but Bangor had at least been pushed back into their own half.
As the game entered the final 5 minutes, it was beginning to look like Enniscorthy would hold firm and take the win. However, in a repeat of the exemplary performance displayed at Clonmel in the previous round, Bangor simply lifted their game again and mounted a surge against their tiring opponents. With just 2 minutes of normal time remaining, Jamie Ball gathered the ball at the half way line, and then passed it to Clegg on his left. Leading by example, Clegg went straight, taking the ball past the 10 metre line and drawing the approaching Enniscorthy defender. A well-timed pass to his left was equally well-received by Widdowson on the wing, who rounded his opposite number and sprinted for the line. With little space to work with and the full-back still to beat, Widdowson produced the speed and footwork necessary to take him over the line, to the left of the posts. He then managed to add the icing on the cake with another well-struck conversion which put Bangor ahead by 14-10.
The moments immediately after scoring are particularly dangerous, and with Enniscorthy now throwing everything they had, the remaining couple of minutes were incredibly tense – for both sets of supporters. To Enniscorthy’s credit, they skilfully kept recycling the ball – almost like sevens rugby – bringing the game back into Bangor’s twenty two. But in the end, it was just too much, with Bangor eventually managing to turn the ball over and close out the game, bringing despair and delight in equal measure on the faces of the opposing players.
To the Bangor supporters who had been unable to travel to the game at Clonmel, and who had not fully appreciated the performance there, this brought everything that had been said into focus, and with it the realisation that Bangor now have the ability to go all the way in this competition. With Ulster rivals Clogher Valley and CIYMS, and Leinster high-fliers Dundalk now joining Bangor in the semi-finals, the next hurdle will be equally challenging, but having beaten two of the strongest junior sides in Ireland, confidence is high and everything is now to play for.

Tail section of the former Lufthansa Boeing 737-230C named "Landshut" - this aircraft and its parts are stored in a hangar in Friedrichshafen Airport, Germany. The airframe shows remnants of its most recent operating life in Brazil as PT-MTB with TAF Linhas Aéreas.
It is a very significant airframe for the German nation, resulting in attempts to preserve and display it within the country over the last number of years....
Originally built in January 1970, Landshut is a Boeing 737-230C (sn 20254), registration D-ABCE, named after the city of Landshut in Bavaria. Whilst operating flight LH181 for Lufthansa from Frankfurt to Palma on 13th October 1977, D-ABCE was hijacked by 4 terrorists from the PFLP (Popular Palestine Front for Liberation). The objective of the hijacking was to secure the release of imprisoned Red Army Faction leaders. While under the control of the hijackers, the plane travelled 10,000 kilometres (6,200 mi) stopping in Rome, Larnaca, Bahrain, Dubai, Aden and finally Mogadishu, Somalia. On 18th October the aircraft was stormed in Mogadishu by the West German counter-terrorism group GSG 9. All 87 passengers and 4 crew were rescued, however the Captain was murdered by the hijackers earlier in the ordeal, during the stop in Aden.
The hijacking was one element of the German Autumn or "Deutscher Herbst", which refers to the period and political atmosphere in West Germany during September and October 1977. This period was marked by a series of attacks by the terrorist organization Red Army Faction (RAF). It included the kidnapping and murder of German industrialist Hanns Martin Schleyer, the hijacking of this Lufthansa plane "Landshut" and the suicides of the imprisoned leading members of the first generation of the Red Army Faction (RAF). These events represented the final act of the RAF's so-called "Offensive 77". The German Autumn is considered one of the most serious crises in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany). The German government's stance during the hijacking demonstrated its new resolve to never negotiate with terrorists.
After the hijacking, the damaged aircraft was ferried back to Germany, repaired, and returned to service in late November 1977. It continued to fly for Lufthansa until September 1985 and was sold three months later to US carrier Presidential Airways. It subsequently changed hands several times. The plane ultimately ended up in the fleet of Brazilian carrier TAF Linhas Aéreas, who purchased it from Transmile Air Services of Kuala Lumpur. The Brazilian company subsequently went bankrupt. TAF stopped service of the aircraft under registration PT-MTB in January 2008, owing to severe damage that made it unairworthy. It was placed in storage in Fortaleza Airport, Brazil.

Optionally secure Subwoofer in trunk. I used (3) two-sided Velcro strips (8 x 2 inches) to secure the subwoofer to the carpet. I also added a 2-headed slide bolt running from a Screw-Eye (drilled into the Subwoofer case) to a hard-point bracket near the rear transom floor. I believe this bracket is used for straps to secure a sun-roof panel in the trunk. My car has no sun-roof. If you have a sun-roof you may need to use a different position, or securing method, for the Subwoofer. I added the slide-bolt solely to keep the Subwoofer from coming loose in a collision. The Velcro holds it securely in place otherwise. NOTE: I was actually motivated to install the slide-bolt in an attempt to pass tech inspections at local Autocross events. I did not want to remove the sub in order to compete. I passed just fine at PCA events. I haven't tried SCCA Solo II events yet with this setup. In my experience their inspectors usually frown on anything creative - especially so on Porsches or Corvettes!

On July 18, 2010, the community of Oslo celebrated 100 years of worshipping the Lord in the far northern Texas Panhandle.
The historical marker outside the church reads as follows:
THE OSLO COMMUNITY
In 1908 Anders L Mordt, a native of Norway, secured from R. M. Thomson and R.T. Anderson the sales rights to 100 sections of Hansford County land he named Oslo. The first settlers were recruited from existing Norwegian colonies in the midwestern United States.
To promote the development, Mordt advertised his inexpensive Texas land in major Norwegian language publications across the nation. He also published a weekly newspaer, the Oslo Posten, and organized an annual Norwegian Indepenence Day celebration, "Syttende Mai" (May 17), which attracted crowds from surrounding towns in Oklahoma and Texas.
Community worship services were first conducted at the Oslo schoolhouse in 1909 by the Rev. Christian Heltne. Officially organized the following year, the Oslo Lutheran Church became the center of the farming settlement.
Mordt's land sales ened in 1913 as a result of a severe drought. When the Denver and Gulf railroad decided to bypass the area, the townsite of Oslo (2.5 MI.S) declined, although many settlers moved away, more than thirty families remained.
Today the Olso Lutheran Church serves as a reminder of the area's Norwegian heritage.

PetSmart Charities awarded a $200,000 grant to Forgotten Cats on July 29 to reduce the number of free-roaming cats in Newark, New Castle, and Bear. The grant was secured in collaboration with the Division of Public Health’s Office of Animal Welfare. Residents of ZIP codes 19701, 19702, 19711, 19713, and 19720 who can identify areas of feral, stray, or unconfined pet cats are asked to call Forgotten Cats at 302-429-0124.
“Collectively, our goal is to eliminate the free-roaming cat population and decrease the spread of rabies in our communities,” said Public Health Director Dr. Karyl Rattay at a press conference at the City of Newark Municipal Building. “The only approach that has proven effective is conducting large-scale, targeted sterilization and vaccination programs that result in healthier cats and healthier communities.”
The grant provides free spay or neuter and rabies vaccinations to 4,000 free-roaming cats. It is estimated that between 8,000 and 12,000 free-roaming cats live in 19701, 19702, 19711, 19713, and 19720. Forgotten Cats specializes in a trap-neuter-vaccinate-return (TNVR) process, which ends the breeding cycle. By sterilizing a substantial percentage of community cats in a targeted area, TNVR prevents the birth of more unwanted cats and cat populations gradually decline.
DHSS Secretary Rita Landgraf said there are estimated 60,000 free-roaming cats in all of Delaware -- or about twice the population of the City of Newark. "For every cat that will be fixed, we eliminate hundreds of unwanted kittens that would add to this statistic," Secretary Landgraf said. "Simply put, it is important and humane work."
"As the largest funder of TNVR programs in North America, PetSmart Charities applauds Forgotten Cats and the Delaware Division of Public Health for embracing this humane, progressive approach for managing community cats," said PetSmart Charities Program Manager Bryan Kortis. "They are a model for all communities who want to effectively address this issue." Kortis flew in from Arizona to present the grant award.
“We are grateful to PetSmart Charities for this opportunity, and we are confident that this effort will succeed in reducing the community cat overpopulation in Delaware,” said Felicia Cross, Forgotten Cats’ founder and executive director.
Since 2010, Forgotten Cats has sterilized nearly 90,000 cats, preventing over 1 million homeless kittens, Cross said.
The cats will be humanely trapped and taken to the Forgotten Cats clinic in Trainer, Pa., to be spayed or neutered. All cats will be scanned for owner microchips so the owner can be contacted prior to sterilization. While under anesthesia, a small portion of the cats’ left ears will be tipped for identification. The cats will receive rabies vaccinations by a licensed veterinarian and returned to where they were found, to live out their lives without future litters. Unowned kittens and cats that are friendly and socialized to people will be evaluated for adoption where possible, providing immediate reduction in free-roaming cat numbers.
For more information or to schedule an appointment, call Forgotten Cats at 302-429-0124, or visit www.forgottencats.org.
