    Cycling along between Scarriff and Killaloe today I noticed a lot of coloured flags and decorations. I presumed it was in support of the local hurling team and then as I went further along the flags changed colour, so I then thought the two teams were playing each other. However even further along was a third colour so then I just got confused! Anyone care to fill a non-native in?

    The Wet Day (200m Swim, Raft Races, Various Boat/Canoe Races)

    This aturday night we are having a local version of Take me out

    And the final big competition night is at the end of June when each of the 3 teams has to put on a half hour variety show.
