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.

This was taken a few months back, but relates to something kind of funny/strange that happened last week. First of all, it is not our cat, but that is our side yard fence. The cat belongs to the house behind us. He is staring at another neighborhood cat that was in our front yard at the time.
So, the other night I wake up around 5am and go to the bathroom. I hear water running in the pipes below. Very loud. I go downstairs and look around thinking maybe a pipe burst, but can't find anything, so I turn off the water main to the house to make the noise stop. After lying awake for 2 hours until the sun came up, which included going down to check around the house with a flashlight for leaking water, including outside, I finally get up again and use the bathroom. Afterward, I turn on the water main to fill up the toilet tank. This time, I quickly traced the sound of the water from the pipes below our room to the hose bib on the side of the house right below where this cat is sitting in this photo. Sure enough, the faucet is on. At first I was at a loss to explain it. Finally arrived at the possibility of an animal turning on the faucet by bumping into it, since I've actually done that a few times. Sure enough, lots of scratches on the fence boards next to the faucet. Yeah, the house is weird in that the pipes to that faucet go up through the center of the house to the attic and then down the side wall. It is like they forgot to plumb for it when they poured the foundation. Most of the pipes are there instead. I never hear that faucet from inside when it is on since I'm the one using it outside normally.
Short story long, I think this cat had used the faucet as a spring board enough times to climb up the fence that it had finally nudged the water on. It can't have been on for long, since there wasn't any puddling yet. It had rained the night before, though, so I didn't notice it when I waved the flashlight around earlier. All I can say is that I'm glad we didn't have a leak in the house like I was originally imagining in my fog of sleep. That, and I'm glad the water was only on for a little while. I don't think it would have done any damage since the water would have run off into the yard and down the street, but it would have been a huge waste if it had happened a few days previously, when we were away for the weekend.
Cute cat, though. He is a roamer. Kind of surprised the coyotes haven't gotten him yet. We still haven't gotten any new cats. Still strange to not have any in the house anymore. We're thinking maybe in the spring.

"Sustainability can relate to the memory and preservation of the traditional craftsmanship and in 1.26, we see an extremely innovative way of preserving a craft that might be seen as obsolete by most. Janet Echelman has been inspired by the traditional craftsmanship of fish net weaving and lace making in the construct of her urban sculptures and has re-intepreted the technique to new heights through the technology that she had utilised, allowing all to appreciate traditional crafts in a new form.
In the piece for i Light Marina Bay 2014, Janet Echelman’s luminous 1.26 sculpture will suspend over the floating platform. The form and content has been drawn from observing Earth’s interconnected systems. Echelman used laboratory research from NASA and NOAA which documented the effects of the 2010 earthquake in Chile — the historic shock resulted in the shortening of the earth’s day by 1.26 microseconds, which became the influence for the installation’s name. The colorful volumetric piece takes the shape of a tsunami sweeping across the ocean. In her studio, she generated a three-dimensional model of the tsunami that resulted from Chile’s earthquake, then used software to create an outline of the rendering’s highest amplitude area, realising the silhouette as a sculptural form. The material underscores connectivity — Echelman’s work utilises Honeywell Spectra fibre, a material that is 15 times stronger than steel by weight. The knotted mesh can withstand high winds, but is engineered specifically to imitate the intricacy of handmade lace.
This piece not only reminds us of today’s ever changing face of the earth and the effects natural disasters have on people, but it is also a piece that highlights the courageousness of the survivors and the interconnected populations who are fighting against these effects of climate change in today’s context."

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.

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.

STATEMENT OF INTENT
SECTION 1 – Final Major Project Guide What is the title of this project? What will you work towards producing and what is your proposed end point? Explain how this relates to your work and ideas from Pathway and how it extends your knowledge, understanding and creative ability.
For my Final Major Project I want to explore social and personal themes such as violence and what can lead to it, such as a misunderstanding of mental health, equality for women and differences in political/religious beliefs. I would like to do this in the form of an animated music video. In pathway I animated a digital collage, perhaps I could do something like this again or at least draw some inspiration from it, this time I could include abstract and freeflow drawings, like the ones I practised in exploratory and lay them over the top of a collage background? That is just one of my ideas.
SECTION 2 – Influences, Research, Sources and Ideas What are the influences, starting points and contextual references and why are they relevant to your ideas? Indicate the subject areas you intend to research and the likely sources of information e.g. performances, galleries, specific locations you plan to visit.
Music is a massive influence in my life so one of my goals is to use a song that I feel like I can be expressive with and/or that means something to me. The significance of representation is something that I have always found interesting, for example I see everything in black and white with the positive things in bright colour so that they stand out – this is something I want to try and capture in my animation, however colours also have opposing meanings, such as red meaning ‘love’ or ‘anger’ which can be applied to the themes I want to explore. I am planning on looking at various places for my research such as contemporary art in public areas, animated music videos for research and gigs to understand how music connects people to one another and the band performing.
SECTION 3 – Techniques, Processes and Timescale Refer to any techniques and processes you intend to use, such as the range of media and materials relevant to your project and how you may use them to explore and develop your ideas. Include studio practice and/or use of particular equipment/software. Provide a timescale which indicates the manner in which you intend to divide your time.
I am aware that my time management in Pathway was not the best and I need to improve on that for this final project. I have a breakdown of the basic things I need to get done in the following months and I will put together a week by week plan in my year planner. I taught myself how to use Adobe Animate for my Pathway project and intend to use it again for this final, and potentially explore more of its features such as drawing directly into the software, making it entirely digitally based.
SECTION 4 – Method of Evaluation How will you critically review/analyse your work and determine if it is successful? How will you identify directions for ongoing development? Do you have a method to record the critical response to your ideas? How do you propose to assess the success of your Final Major Project and what will be your methods of evaluation?
I will record any errors and setbacks that I encounter as well as how I worked around and fixed them in my reflective journal. I am going to make a weekly plan of what I will be doing in college and after it ends as I usually stay late to get more work done, I will also make check lists daily about what I specifically have to do each day. I will also do my best to regularly ask for feedback on my work and ideas from my teachers and peers and try to take their words on board as best as possible. These will also be recorded as notes in my reflective journal. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, peer feedback will be done via skype or zoom and I will maintain in contact with my tutors via email and upload my work to moodle.
REVIEW OF EXPLORATORY AND PATHWAY
What I learnt from exploratory
The exploratory stage taught me to let go and relax a bit. Before this course I never realised how strict and stressed I got over my art because I wanted it to be perfect and it actually made me not enjoy it as much. Exploratory taught me that art can be anything and that perfection isn’t something you achieve, it’s when you make something you are most proud of and you believe it is your best. The exercises such as drawing a stick with a stick were so simple but it really helped to open my eyes to this. This freedom and abstract is something I want to try and bring into my Final Major Project.
What I learnt from pathway
I became a lot more independent during pathway which I really value as it also made me more confident in talking to teachers about my ideas and getting their advice on various things regarding what I wanted to do, such as getting Judy’s opinion on whether she thought using my plaster mouths in my animation was a good idea or not, and going through Alexa’s collage booklet to find inspiration which actually lead to my final idea for the piece. I also taught myself how to use the Adobe Animate software, which not only gave me confidence in myself but also gave me access to a tool that I can now use in my Final Major Project.
Strengths
- My experimental/test animations were fun to make and as a result they turned out well
- I think I was able to incorporate a lot of my tests (plaster mouths) and research (collages) into my final piece
- I was not too fixed on an idea, I just had a message that I wanted to attempt to deliver and it wasn’t what I had originally planned it to be but I am happy with the result
Weaknesses
- I did not annotate as I went along and had to recall my thoughts at some points
- A lot of my work I tend to not write down and I keep it all in my head, so when the teachers looked through my book they saw inconsistency in my developmental stages where I thought it was perfectly fine (I corrected it)
- I tended to get flustered and would go through highs lows with my work, sometimes getting artists block for a few days to a week, to overcome this I will engage regularly with my peers and tutors via zoom and check in on moodle to read any comments left for me

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.)

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.

Postcard - Fay Thomas Collection
The Fay Thomas Collection includes family archives relating to the Thomas family. Moses Thomas (1825-1878) was a significant figure in the history of the area now known as the City of Whittlesea, Victoria, Australia. Thomas and Ann and their family lived at "Mayfield", Mernda, Victoria.
Miss Lily Thomas (1871-1946), Thomas and Ann’s fourth daughter lived there all her life. She collected postcards which her family and friends sent her on a very regular basis. It was an easy and enjoyable way to keep in touch. Production of postcards blossomed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Lily’s collection encompasses the so-called Golden Age (1890-1915) with many postmarked 1906-1907. Some were sent to other members of the family.
Her collection document the natural landscape as well as the built environment—buildings, gardens, parks, and tourist sites. Topographical Postcards showing street scenes and general views from Australian and international locations.
Decorative cards, many embellished with floral motives (as a nod to the receiver Lily?) and embossing. Greeting cards are common for Christmas, New Year, Easter and of course birthdays.
Regular senders can be identified from Kyneton and the Great Ocean Road area, Victoria and there is a siginifant collection from Scotland (but not sent from there).

This relates to my I am poem because the three images at the top all
represent my siblings.(the rose means my older sister Angel, the boat means
my brother Noah, and the monkey means my little sister Samantha) The hand
represents I love you in sign language because I love all my siblings, and
the heart represents the same thing. The two bunnies in the bottom are my
friend's(Natalie S.) their names are Kyrie(the brown one) and Midnight(the
white, grey, and black one.)I am most proud of how well the colors turned
out on the project, and how well the images that represent my siblings
turned out.
This photo was taken in the soils lab for ENST200 at UMD. This relates to the SDG 15 of life on land. Soil science has important applications to agriculture and sustaining forests and natural habitats. Soil erosion is a serious problem for farmers. Their crops lose nutrients and places to grow with every year of poor farming practices continuing. Greater crop yields at less cost to all involved, including the environment, would be possible if more landscapers and farmers were educated on soils. While ENST200 may only be taught at UMD, it does count towards a general science elective. That means people who do not need to take it may take it anyways, and therefore be educated on it. They can take what they have learned back to their homes and to their friends and family, which may help prevent life on land from being negatively impacted by soil erosion in particular. Additionally, more people would be educated on the potential environmental harms of over applying chemicals or nutrients to their lawns or crops. Some practices in soil protection are actually more cost efficient than traditional practices. Farmers struggle with how to keep their soils from eroding, they are losing their livelihood unnecessarily, because as we have learned from class, there are ways of stopping these processes. Additionally, this practice could also help with SDG 2 of no hunger. Soil erosion affects every part of the world, and more sustainable practices should lower the cost of growing food, and maybe even increase the yields of crops. More food and cheaper food, assuming people are not manipulating things to gain more money, would increase the number of people who have regular access to food. While this picture does not show any of these practices in place, it is a representation of learning more about something that does not seem to be very important. Soil is actually the most important factor for life on land in many cases, and educating people on the basics may help them to realize that as well.
