Weather Lore The weather is by far the most popular topic of conversation

in this country That is particularly true this year as we donrsquot

need a reminder about this Summerrsquos weather and every-

body hoping for just a little sunshine

There are many weather signs in nature and in the environ-

ment which often indicate the onset of a particular type of

weather

The goats at Lahinch Golf Club were always a great indica-

tor of the weather If they were taking shelter around the

clubhouse you would be wise to head for shelter Their be-

haviour was so accurate that when the barometer in the club-

house stopped working a club member covered the glass

with a sign which read ldquoSee Goatsrdquo

ldquoThe farther the sight the nearer the rainrdquo the old joke about

going into Kilrush wasmdashwhen going down the ldquoCut Hillrdquo if

you could see Kerry it was a sign of the rain in the offing

and a wise crack added that ldquoIf you canrsquot see Kerry itrsquos rain-

ingrdquo

ldquoWhen swallows fly high the weather will be dry but when

swallows fly low get your rain gear in towrdquo This statement

is normally accurate - seemingly it is not the swallows who

decide it is really the insects they eat Small flies and in-

sects stay close to the ground when bad weather is imminent

and these are the food of the swallows Honeybees are also a

good indicatorndash they will not fly far from home if the signs

are bad so the sight of honeybees flying around means

sunny weather on the way

ldquoCatchy drawer and sticky door coming rain will pour and

pourrdquo It appears timber swells when rain is on the way

ldquoSea gull sea gull sit on the sand its never good weather

while youre on the landrdquo Usually the sight of seagulls

inland means that rough weather is approaching

There are many weather sign associated with the moon ldquoA

ring around the sun or moon means rain or snow coming

soonrdquo or ldquoA halo around the moon means rain soonrdquo

In Ireland and Britain St Swithinrsquos day (15th July) is said to

forecast the weather for the rest of the Summer

If St Swithinrsquos day is dry then the legend says that the next

forty days will be dry if however it rains then rain will con-

tinue for forty days

There is a scientific basis to the legend of St Swithin In

mid-July the jet stream settles into a pattern which in the

majority of years holds reasonably steady until the end of

August when the jet stream lies north of Ireland and Britain

then continued high pressure is able to move in when it lies

across the south of Ireland and Britain Arctic air and Atlan-

tic systems predominate giving us unsettled weather

CROSSWORD

Brendan Behan Once Brendan Behan was invited to a literary Society dinner in London

The Toffs wished to embarrass this unruly Dubliner The discussion at

the dinner centred on the difference between Prose amp Poetry Eventu-

ally the host turned to Behan and he asked Behan what he considered

to be the difference Brendan paused for a while and then spoke as

follows ldquoBarney McGann was a whale of a manmdashfull of his joking and

frolics He went for a walk down Dollymount Strand and the water

came up to his ankles - - - - - That was Prose but if the tide was in it

would have been poetryrdquo

Katie Taylor (born 2 June 1986) is an Irish boxer and foot-

baller She is the current Irish European and Worldrsquos womenrsquos

Champion boxer

As a soccer player she scored in the opening UEFA 2009 quali-

fying round win over Hungary on 1 April 2007 She scored

again and got sent off in a 4ndash1 loss in Italy on the 16th of Feb-

ruary 2008 Previously she had played with the national teams

at the U-17 and U-19 levels Katie also played Gaelic Football

with her local GAA club Fergal Oacuteg Bray and on a few brief

occasions with Bray Emmets Under 14 As for her preferred

sport I love playing for Ireland and I love soccer but when it

comes down to it I would choose boxing as my number one

sport as Id miss it too much if I wasnt involved

Katie Taylor started boxing in 1998 at the age of 12 (coached

by her father Peter himself a successful amateur boxer) Her

first noteworthy success was at the 2005 European Ladyrsquos

Amateur Championships where she won the gold medal defeat-

ing Eva Wahlstroumlm of Finland in the final of the 60 kg light-

weight class The following year Taylor reached the quarter-

finals in the 60 kg weight class

At the 2006 European Amateur Championships in Warsaw

Poland Taylor won her second successive gold medal by stop-

ping reigning world champion Tatiana Chalaya of Russia also

collecting the tournaments Best Boxer award At that years

World Amateur Championships contested in New Delhi India

Taylor became Irelands first World Champion defeating Cha-

laya again in the semi-final and then Annabella Farias of Ar-

gentina in the 60 kg final In 2007 she won her third successive

European Championship title in Denmark

Katie went on to win her second World title at the 2008 AIBA

Womens World Boxing Championship In the 60 kg weight

class she defeated Chinas Cheng Dong in the final match

which was her 100th bout She also went on to win her fourth

successive European Championship title in September 2009 in

Ukraine without conceding a point

On 18 September 2010 Taylor went on to claim her third suc-

cessive World title at the 2010 AIBA Womens World Boxing

Championship in Barbados

On 19 May 2012 Taylor won her fourth successive World title

at the 2012 AIBA Womens World Boxing Championship in

Qinhuangdao China In the 60 kg weight class she defeated old

rival Russian southpaw Sofya Ochi-

gava

We look forward to a big performance

and hopefully a gold at the 2012 Lon-

don Olympics

Weather Lore The weather is by far the most popular topic of conversation

in this country That is particularly true this year as we donrsquot

need a reminder about this Summerrsquos weather and every-

body hoping for just a little sunshine

There are many weather signs in nature and in the environ-

ment which often indicate the onset of a particular type of

weather

The goats at Lahinch Golf Club were always a great indica-

tor of the weather If they were taking shelter around the

clubhouse you would be wise to head for shelter Their be-

haviour was so accurate that when the barometer in the club-

house stopped working a club member covered the glass

with a sign which read ldquoSee Goatsrdquo

ldquoThe farther the sight the nearer the rainrdquo the old joke about

going into Kilrush wasmdashwhen going down the ldquoCut Hillrdquo if

you could see Kerry it was a sign of the rain in the offing

and a wise crack added that ldquoIf you canrsquot see Kerry itrsquos rain-

ingrdquo

ldquoWhen swallows fly high the weather will be dry but when

swallows fly low get your rain gear in towrdquo This statement

is normally accurate - seemingly it is not the swallows who

decide it is really the insects they eat Small flies and in-

sects stay close to the ground when bad weather is imminent

and these are the food of the swallows Honeybees are also a

good indicatorndash they will not fly far from home if the signs

are bad so the sight of honeybees flying around means

sunny weather on the way

ldquoCatchy drawer and sticky door coming rain will pour and

pourrdquo It appears timber swells when rain is on the way

ldquoSea gull sea gull sit on the sand its never good weather

while youre on the landrdquo Usually the sight of seagulls

inland means that rough weather is approaching

There are many weather sign associated with the moon ldquoA

ring around the sun or moon means rain or snow coming

soonrdquo or ldquoA halo around the moon means rain soonrdquo

In Ireland and Britain St Swithinrsquos day (15th July) is said to

forecast the weather for the rest of the Summer

If St Swithinrsquos day is dry then the legend says that the next

forty days will be dry if however it rains then rain will con-

tinue for forty days

There is a scientific basis to the legend of St Swithin In

mid-July the jet stream settles into a pattern which in the

majority of years holds reasonably steady until the end of

August when the jet stream lies north of Ireland and Britain

then continued high pressure is able to move in when it lies

across the south of Ireland and Britain Arctic air and Atlan-

tic systems predominate giving us unsettled weather

CROSSWORD

Brendan Behan Once Brendan Behan was invited to a literary Society dinner in London

The Toffs wished to embarrass this unruly Dubliner The discussion at

the dinner centred on the difference between Prose amp Poetry Eventu-

ally the host turned to Behan and he asked Behan what he considered

to be the difference Brendan paused for a while and then spoke as

follows ldquoBarney McGann was a whale of a manmdashfull of his joking and

frolics He went for a walk down Dollymount Strand and the water

came up to his ankles - - - - - That was Prose but if the tide was in it

would have been poetryrdquo

Katie Taylor (born 2 June 1986) is an Irish boxer and foot-

baller She is the current Irish European and Worldrsquos womenrsquos

Champion boxer

As a soccer player she scored in the opening UEFA 2009 quali-

fying round win over Hungary on 1 April 2007 She scored

again and got sent off in a 4ndash1 loss in Italy on the 16th of Feb-

ruary 2008 Previously she had played with the national teams

at the U-17 and U-19 levels Katie also played Gaelic Football

with her local GAA club Fergal Oacuteg Bray and on a few brief

occasions with Bray Emmets Under 14 As for her preferred

sport I love playing for Ireland and I love soccer but when it

comes down to it I would choose boxing as my number one

sport as Id miss it too much if I wasnt involved

Katie Taylor started boxing in 1998 at the age of 12 (coached

by her father Peter himself a successful amateur boxer) Her

first noteworthy success was at the 2005 European Ladyrsquos

Amateur Championships where she won the gold medal defeat-

ing Eva Wahlstroumlm of Finland in the final of the 60 kg light-

weight class The following year Taylor reached the quarter-

finals in the 60 kg weight class

At the 2006 European Amateur Championships in Warsaw

Poland Taylor won her second successive gold medal by stop-

ping reigning world champion Tatiana Chalaya of Russia also

collecting the tournaments Best Boxer award At that years

World Amateur Championships contested in New Delhi India

Taylor became Irelands first World Champion defeating Cha-

laya again in the semi-final and then Annabella Farias of Ar-

Weather Lore The weather is by far the most popular topic of conversation

in this country That is particularly true this year as we donrsquot

need a reminder about this Summerrsquos weather and every-

body hoping for just a little sunshine

There are many weather signs in nature and in the environ-

ment which often indicate the onset of a particular type of

weather

The goats at Lahinch Golf Club were always a great indica-

tor of the weather If they were taking shelter around the

clubhouse you would be wise to head for shelter Their be-

haviour was so accurate that when the barometer in the club-

house stopped working a club member covered the glass

with a sign which read ldquoSee Goatsrdquo

ldquoThe farther the sight the nearer the rainrdquo the old joke about

going into Kilrush wasmdashwhen going down the ldquoCut Hillrdquo if

you could see Kerry it was a sign of the rain in the offing

and a wise crack added that ldquoIf you canrsquot see Kerry itrsquos rain-

ingrdquo

ldquoWhen swallows fly high the weather will be dry but when

swallows fly low get your rain gear in towrdquo This statement

is normally accurate - seemingly it is not the swallows who

decide it is really the insects they eat Small flies and in-

sects stay close to the ground when bad weather is imminent

and these are the food of the swallows Honeybees are also a

good indicatorndash they will not fly far from home if the signs

are bad so the sight of honeybees flying around means

sunny weather on the way

ldquoCatchy drawer and sticky door coming rain will pour and

pourrdquo It appears timber swells when rain is on the way

ldquoSea gull sea gull sit on the sand its never good weather

while youre on the landrdquo Usually the sight of seagulls

inland means that rough weather is approaching

There are many weather sign associated with the moon ldquoA

ring around the sun or moon means rain or snow coming

soonrdquo or ldquoA halo around the moon means rain soonrdquo

In Ireland and Britain St Swithinrsquos day (15th July) is said to

forecast the weather for the rest of the Summer

If St Swithinrsquos day is dry then the legend says that the next

forty days will be dry if however it rains then rain will con-

tinue for forty days

There is a scientific basis to the legend of St Swithin In

mid-July the jet stream settles into a pattern which in the

majority of years holds reasonably steady until the end of

August when the jet stream lies north of Ireland and Britain

then continued high pressure is able to move in when it lies

across the south of Ireland and Britain Arctic air and Atlan-

tic systems predominate giving us unsettled weather

CROSSWORD

Brendan Behan Once Brendan Behan was invited to a literary Society dinner in London

The Toffs wished to embarrass this unruly Dubliner The discussion at

the dinner centred on the difference between Prose amp Poetry Eventu-

ally the host turned to Behan and he asked Behan what he considered

to be the difference Brendan paused for a while and then spoke as

follows ldquoBarney McGann was a whale of a manmdashfull of his joking and

frolics He went for a walk down Dollymount Strand and the water

came up to his ankles - - - - - That was Prose but if the tide was in it

would have been poetryrdquo

Katie Taylor (born 2 June 1986) is an Irish boxer and foot-

baller She is the current Irish European and Worldrsquos womenrsquos

Champion boxer

As a soccer player she scored in the opening UEFA 2009 quali-

fying round win over Hungary on 1 April 2007 She scored

again and got sent off in a 4ndash1 loss in Italy on the 16th of Feb-

ruary 2008 Previously she had played with the national teams

at the U-17 and U-19 levels Katie also played Gaelic Football

with her local GAA club Fergal Oacuteg Bray and on a few brief

occasions with Bray Emmets Under 14 As for her preferred

sport I love playing for Ireland and I love soccer but when it

comes down to it I would choose boxing as my number one

sport as Id miss it too much if I wasnt involved

Katie Taylor started boxing in 1998 at the age of 12 (coached

by her father Peter himself a successful amateur boxer) Her

first noteworthy success was at the 2005 European Ladyrsquos

Amateur Championships where she won the gold medal defeat-

Weather Lore The weather is by far the most popular topic of conversation

in this country That is particularly true this year as we donrsquot

need a reminder about this Summerrsquos weather and every-

body hoping for just a little sunshine

There are many weather signs in nature and in the environ-

ment which often indicate the onset of a particular type of

weather

The goats at Lahinch Golf Club were always a great indica-

tor of the weather If they were taking shelter around the

clubhouse you would be wise to head for shelter Their be-

haviour was so accurate that when the barometer in the club-

house stopped working a club member covered the glass

with a sign which read ldquoSee Goatsrdquo

ldquoThe farther the sight the nearer the rainrdquo the old joke about

going into Kilrush wasmdashwhen going down the ldquoCut Hillrdquo if

you could see Kerry it was a sign of the rain in the offing

and a wise crack added that ldquoIf you canrsquot see Kerry itrsquos rain-

ingrdquo

ldquoWhen swallows fly high the weather will be dry but when

swallows fly low get your rain gear in towrdquo This statement

is normally accurate - seemingly it is not the swallows who

decide it is really the insects they eat Small flies and in-

sects stay close to the ground when bad weather is imminent

and these are the food of the swallows Honeybees are also a

good indicatorndash they will not fly far from home if the signs

are bad so the sight of honeybees flying around means

sunny weather on the way

ldquoCatchy drawer and sticky door coming rain will pour and

pourrdquo It appears timber swells when rain is on the way

ldquoSea gull sea gull sit on the sand its never good weather

while youre on the landrdquo Usually the sight of seagulls

inland means that rough weather is approaching

There are many weather sign associated with the moon ldquoA

ring around the sun or moon means rain or snow coming

soonrdquo or ldquoA halo around the moon means rain soonrdquo

In Ireland and Britain St Swithinrsquos day (15th July) is said to

forecast the weather for the rest of the Summer

If St Swithinrsquos day is dry then the legend says that the next

forty days will be dry if however it rains then rain will con-

tinue for forty days

There is a scientific basis to the legend of St Swithin In

mid-July the jet stream settles into a pattern which in the

majority of years holds reasonably steady until the end of

August when the jet stream lies north of Ireland and Britain

then continued high pressure is able to move in when it lies

across the south of Ireland and Britain Arctic air and Atlan-

tic systems predominate giving us unsettled weather

CROSSWORD

Brendan Behan Once Brendan Behan was invited to a literary Society dinner in London

The Toffs wished to embarrass this unruly Dubliner The discussion at

the dinner centred on the difference between Prose amp Poetry Eventu-

ally the host turned to Behan and he asked Behan what he considered

to be the difference Brendan paused for a while and then spoke as

follows ldquoBarney McGann was a whale of a manmdashfull of his joking and

frolics He went for a walk down Dollymount Strand and the water

came up to his ankles - - - - - That was Prose but if the tide was in it

would have been poetryrdquo

Katie Taylor (born 2 June 1986) is an Irish boxer and foot-

baller She is the current Irish European and Worldrsquos womenrsquos

Champion boxer

As a soccer player she scored in the opening UEFA 2009 quali-

fying round win over Hungary on 1 April 2007 She scored

again and got sent off in a 4ndash1 loss in Italy on the 16th of Feb-

ruary 2008 Previously she had played with the national teams

at the U-17 and U-19 levels Katie also played Gaelic Football

with her local GAA club Fergal Oacuteg Bray and on a few brief

occasions with Bray Emmets Under 14 As for her preferred

sport I love playing for Ireland and I love soccer but when it

comes down to it I would choose boxing as my number one

sport as Id miss it too much if I wasnt involved

Katie Taylor started boxing in 1998 at the age of 12 (coached

by her father Peter himself a successful amateur boxer) Her

first noteworthy success was at the 2005 European Ladyrsquos

Amateur Championships where she won the gold medal defeat-

ing Eva Wahlstroumlm of Finland in the final of the 60 kg light-

weight class The following year Taylor reached the quarter-

finals in the 60 kg weight class

At the 2006 European Amateur Championships in Warsaw

Poland Taylor won her second successive gold medal by stop-

Weather Lore The weather is by far the most popular topic of conversation

in this country That is particularly true this year as we donrsquot

need a reminder about this Summerrsquos weather and every-

body hoping for just a little sunshine

There are many weather signs in nature and in the environ-

ment which often indicate the onset of a particular type of

weather

The goats at Lahinch Golf Club were always a great indica-

tor of the weather If they were taking shelter around the

clubhouse you would be wise to head for shelter Their be-

haviour was so accurate that when the barometer in the club-

house stopped working a club member covered the glass

with a sign which read ldquoSee Goatsrdquo

ldquoThe farther the sight the nearer the rainrdquo the old joke about

going into Kilrush wasmdashwhen going down the ldquoCut Hillrdquo if

you could see Kerry it was a sign of the rain in the offing

and a wise crack added that ldquoIf you canrsquot see Kerry itrsquos rain-

ingrdquo

ldquoWhen swallows fly high the weather will be dry but when

swallows fly low get your rain gear in towrdquo This statement

is normally accurate - seemingly it is not the swallows who

decide it is really the insects they eat Small flies and in-

sects stay close to the ground when bad weather is imminent

and these are the food of the swallows Honeybees are also a

good indicatorndash they will not fly far from home if the signs

are bad so the sight of honeybees flying around means

sunny weather on the way

ldquoCatchy drawer and sticky door coming rain will pour and

pourrdquo It appears timber swells when rain is on the way

ldquoSea gull sea gull sit on the sand its never good weather

while youre on the landrdquo Usually the sight of seagulls

inland means that rough weather is approaching

There are many weather sign associated with the moon ldquoA

ring around the sun or moon means rain or snow coming

soonrdquo or ldquoA halo around the moon means rain soonrdquo

In Ireland and Britain St Swithinrsquos day (15th July) is said to

forecast the weather for the rest of the Summer

If St Swithinrsquos day is dry then the legend says that the next

forty days will be dry if however it rains then rain will con-

tinue for forty days

There is a scientific basis to the legend of St Swithin In

mid-July the jet stream settles into a pattern which in the

majority of years holds reasonably steady until the end of

August when the jet stream lies north of Ireland and Britain

then continued high pressure is able to move in when it lies

across the south of Ireland and Britain Arctic air and Atlan-

tic systems predominate giving us unsettled weather

CROSSWORD

Brendan Behan Once Brendan Behan was invited to a literary Society dinner in London

The Toffs wished to embarrass this unruly Dubliner The discussion at

the dinner centred on the difference between Prose amp Poetry Eventu-

ally the host turned to Behan and he asked Behan what he considered

to be the difference Brendan paused for a while and then spoke as

follows ldquoBarney McGann was a whale of a manmdashfull of his joking and

frolics He went for a walk down Dollymount Strand and the water

came up to his ankles - - - - - That was Prose but if the tide was in it

would have been poetryrdquo

with her local GAA club Fergal Oacuteg Bray and on a few brief

occasions with Bray Emmets Under 14 As for her preferred

sport I love playing for Ireland and I love soccer but when it

sport as Id miss it too much if I wasnt involved

Katie Taylor started boxing in 1998 at the age of 12 (coached

by her father Peter himself a successful amateur boxer) Her

first noteworthy success was at the 2005 European Ladyrsquos

weight class The following year Taylor reached the quarter-

finals in the 60 kg weight class

ping reigning world champion Tatiana Chalaya of Russia also

World Amateur Championships contested in New Delhi India

Taylor became Irelands first World Champion defeating Cha-

laya again in the semi-final and then Annabella Farias of Ar-

gentina in the 60 kg final In 2007 she won her third successive

European Championship title in Denmark

Katie went on to win her second World title at the 2008 AIBA

Womens World Boxing Championship In the 60 kg weight

class she defeated Chinas Cheng Dong in the final match

which was her 100th bout She also went on to win her fourth

successive European Championship title in September 2009 in

Ukraine without conceding a point

On 18 September 2010 Taylor went on to claim her third suc-

cessive World title at the 2010 AIBA Womens World Boxing

Championship in Barbados

On 19 May 2012 Taylor won her fourth successive World title

Weather Lore The weather is by far the most popular topic of conversation

in this country That is particularly true this year as we donrsquot

need a reminder about this Summerrsquos weather and every-

body hoping for just a little sunshine

There are many weather signs in nature and in the environ-

ment which often indicate the onset of a particular type of

weather

The goats at Lahinch Golf Club were always a great indica-

tor of the weather If they were taking shelter around the

clubhouse you would be wise to head for shelter Their be-

haviour was so accurate that when the barometer in the club-

house stopped working a club member covered the glass

with a sign which read ldquoSee Goatsrdquo

ldquoThe farther the sight the nearer the rainrdquo the old joke about

going into Kilrush wasmdashwhen going down the ldquoCut Hillrdquo if

you could see Kerry it was a sign of the rain in the offing

and a wise crack added that ldquoIf you canrsquot see Kerry itrsquos rain-

ingrdquo

ldquoWhen swallows fly high the weather will be dry but when

swallows fly low get your rain gear in towrdquo This statement

is normally accurate - seemingly it is not the swallows who

decide it is really the insects they eat Small flies and in-

sects stay close to the ground when bad weather is imminent

and these are the food of the swallows Honeybees are also a

good indicatorndash they will not fly far from home if the signs

are bad so the sight of honeybees flying around means

sunny weather on the way

ldquoCatchy drawer and sticky door coming rain will pour and

pourrdquo It appears timber swells when rain is on the way

ldquoSea gull sea gull sit on the sand its never good weather

while youre on the landrdquo Usually the sight of seagulls

inland means that rough weather is approaching

There are many weather sign associated with the moon ldquoA

ring around the sun or moon means rain or snow coming

soonrdquo or ldquoA halo around the moon means rain soonrdquo

In Ireland and Britain St Swithinrsquos day (15th July) is said to

forecast the weather for the rest of the Summer

If St Swithinrsquos day is dry then the legend says that the next

forty days will be dry if however it rains then rain will con-

tinue for forty days

There is a scientific basis to the legend of St Swithin In

mid-July the jet stream settles into a pattern which in the

majority of years holds reasonably steady until the end of

August when the jet stream lies north of Ireland and Britain

then continued high pressure is able to move in when it lies

across the south of Ireland and Britain Arctic air and Atlan-

tic systems predominate giving us unsettled weather

CROSSWORD

Brendan Behan Once Brendan Behan was invited to a literary Society dinner in London

The Toffs wished to embarrass this unruly Dubliner The discussion at

the dinner centred on the difference between Prose amp Poetry Eventu-

ally the host turned to Behan and he asked Behan what he considered

to be the difference Brendan paused for a while and then spoke as

follows ldquoBarney McGann was a whale of a manmdashfull of his joking and

frolics He went for a walk down Dollymount Strand and the water

came up to his ankles - - - - - That was Prose but if the tide was in it

would have been poetryrdquo

Katie Taylor (born 2 June 1986) is an Irish boxer and foot-

baller She is the current Irish European and Worldrsquos womenrsquos

Champion boxer

As a soccer player she scored in the opening UEFA 2009 quali-

fying round win over Hungary on 1 April 2007 She scored

again and got sent off in a 4ndash1 loss in Italy on the 16th of Feb-

ruary 2008 Previously she had played with the national teams

at the U-17 and U-19 levels Katie also played Gaelic Football

with her local GAA club Fergal Oacuteg Bray and on a few brief

occasions with Bray Emmets Under 14 As for her preferred

sport I love playing for Ireland and I love soccer but when it

comes down to it I would choose boxing as my number one

sport as Id miss it too much if I wasnt involved

Katie Taylor started boxing in 1998 at the age of 12 (coached

by her father Peter himself a successful amateur boxer) Her

first noteworthy success was at the 2005 European Ladyrsquos

Amateur Championships where she won the gold medal defeat-

ing Eva Wahlstroumlm of Finland in the final of the 60 kg light-

weight class The following year Taylor reached the quarter-

finals in the 60 kg weight class

At the 2006 European Amateur Championships in Warsaw

Poland Taylor won her second successive gold medal by stop-

ping reigning world champion Tatiana Chalaya of Russia also

collecting the tournaments Best Boxer award At that years

World Amateur Championships contested in New Delhi India

Taylor became Irelands first World Champion defeating Cha-

laya again in the semi-final and then Annabella Farias of Ar-

gentina in the 60 kg final In 2007 she won her third successive

European Championship title in Denmark

Katie went on to win her second World title at the 2008 AIBA

Womens World Boxing Championship In the 60 kg weight

class she defeated Chinas Cheng Dong in the final match

which was her 100th bout She also went on to win her fourth

successive European Championship title in September 2009 in

Ukraine without conceding a point

On 18 September 2010 Taylor went on to claim her third suc-

cessive World title at the 2010 AIBA Womens World Boxing

Championship in Barbados

On 19 May 2012 Taylor won her fourth successive World title

at the 2012 AIBA Womens World Boxing Championship in

Qinhuangdao China In the 60 kg weight class she defeated old

rival Russian southpaw Sofya Ochi-

gava

We look forward to a big performance

and hopefully a gold at the 2012 Lon-

don Olympics

CROSSWORD

Brendan Behan Once Brendan Behan was invited to a literary Society dinner in London

The Toffs wished to embarrass this unruly Dubliner The discussion at

the dinner centred on the difference between Prose amp Poetry Eventu-

ally the host turned to Behan and he asked Behan what he considered

to be the difference Brendan paused for a while and then spoke as

follows ldquoBarney McGann was a whale of a manmdashfull of his joking and

frolics He went for a walk down Dollymount Strand and the water

came up to his ankles - - - - - That was Prose but if the tide was in it

would have been poetryrdquo

Katie Taylor (born 2 June 1986) is an Irish boxer and foot-

baller She is the current Irish European and Worldrsquos womenrsquos

Champion boxer

As a soccer player she scored in the opening UEFA 2009 quali-

fying round win over Hungary on 1 April 2007 She scored

again and got sent off in a 4ndash1 loss in Italy on the 16th of Feb-

ruary 2008 Previously she had played with the national teams

at the U-17 and U-19 levels Katie also played Gaelic Football

with her local GAA club Fergal Oacuteg Bray and on a few brief

occasions with Bray Emmets Under 14 As for her preferred

sport I love playing for Ireland and I love soccer but when it

comes down to it I would choose boxing as my number one

sport as Id miss it too much if I wasnt involved

Katie Taylor started boxing in 1998 at the age of 12 (coached

by her father Peter himself a successful amateur boxer) Her

first noteworthy success was at the 2005 European Ladyrsquos

Amateur Championships where she won the gold medal defeat-

ing Eva Wahlstroumlm of Finland in the final of the 60 kg light-

weight class The following year Taylor reached the quarter-

finals in the 60 kg weight class

At the 2006 European Amateur Championships in Warsaw

Poland Taylor won her second successive gold medal by stop-

ping reigning world champion Tatiana Chalaya of Russia also

collecting the tournaments Best Boxer award At that years

World Amateur Championships contested in New Delhi India

Taylor became Irelands first World Champion defeating Cha-

laya again in the semi-final and then Annabella Farias of Ar-

gentina in the 60 kg final In 2007 she won her third successive

European Championship title in Denmark

Katie went on to win her second World title at the 2008 AIBA

Womens World Boxing Championship In the 60 kg weight

class she defeated Chinas Cheng Dong in the final match

which was her 100th bout She also went on to win her fourth

successive European Championship title in September 2009 in

Ukraine without conceding a point

On 18 September 2010 Taylor went on to claim her third suc-

cessive World title at the 2010 AIBA Womens World Boxing

Championship in Barbados

On 19 May 2012 Taylor won her fourth successive World title

at the 2012 AIBA Womens World Boxing Championship in

Qinhuangdao China In the 60 kg weight class she defeated old

rival Russian southpaw Sofya Ochi-

gava

We look forward to a big performance

and hopefully a gold at the 2012 Lon-

don Olympics

Brendan Behan Once Brendan Behan was invited to a literary Society dinner in London

the dinner centred on the difference between Prose amp Poetry Eventu-

ally the host turned to Behan and he asked Behan what he considered

to be the difference Brendan paused for a while and then spoke as

follows ldquoBarney McGann was a whale of a manmdashfull of his joking and

frolics He went for a walk down Dollymount Strand and the water

came up to his ankles - - - - - That was Prose but if the tide was in it

would have been poetryrdquo

CROSSWORD

Brendan Behan Once Brendan Behan was invited to a literary Society dinner in London

The Toffs wished to embarrass this unruly Dubliner The discussion at

the dinner centred on the difference between Prose amp Poetry Eventu-

ally the host turned to Behan and he asked Behan what he considered

to be the difference Brendan paused for a while and then spoke as

follows ldquoBarney McGann was a whale of a manmdashfull of his joking and

frolics He went for a walk down Dollymount Strand and the water

came up to his ankles - - - - - That was Prose but if the tide was in it

would have been poetryrdquo

Katie Taylor (born 2 June 1986) is an Irish boxer and foot-

baller She is the current Irish European and Worldrsquos womenrsquos

Champion boxer

As a soccer player she scored in the opening UEFA 2009 quali-

fying round win over Hungary on 1 April 2007 She scored

again and got sent off in a 4ndash1 loss in Italy on the 16th of Feb-

ruary 2008 Previously she had played with the national teams

at the U-17 and U-19 levels Katie also played Gaelic Football

with her local GAA club Fergal Oacuteg Bray and on a few brief

occasions with Bray Emmets Under 14 As for her preferred

sport I love playing for Ireland and I love soccer but when it

comes down to it I would choose boxing as my number one

sport as Id miss it too much if I wasnt involved

Katie Taylor started boxing in 1998 at the age of 12 (coached

by her father Peter himself a successful amateur boxer) Her

first noteworthy success was at the 2005 European Ladyrsquos

Amateur Championships where she won the gold medal defeat-

ing Eva Wahlstroumlm of Finland in the final of the 60 kg light-

weight class The following year Taylor reached the quarter-

finals in the 60 kg weight class

At the 2006 European Amateur Championships in Warsaw

Poland Taylor won her second successive gold medal by stop-

ping reigning world champion Tatiana Chalaya of Russia also

collecting the tournaments Best Boxer award At that years

World Amateur Championships contested in New Delhi India

Taylor became Irelands first World Champion defeating Cha-

laya again in the semi-final and then Annabella Farias of Ar-

gentina in the 60 kg final In 2007 she won her third successive

European Championship title in Denmark

Katie went on to win her second World title at the 2008 AIBA

Womens World Boxing Championship In the 60 kg weight

class she defeated Chinas Cheng Dong in the final match

which was her 100th bout She also went on to win her fourth

successive European Championship title in September 2009 in

Ukraine without conceding a point

On 18 September 2010 Taylor went on to claim her third suc-

cessive World title at the 2010 AIBA Womens World Boxing

Championship in Barbados

On 19 May 2012 Taylor won her fourth successive World title

at the 2012 AIBA Womens World Boxing Championship in

Qinhuangdao China In the 60 kg weight class she defeated old

rival Russian southpaw Sofya Ochi-

gava

We look forward to a big performance

and hopefully a gold at the 2012 Lon-

don Olympics

follows ldquoBarney McGann was a whale of a manmdashfull of his joking and

frolics He went for a walk down Dollymount Strand and the water

came up to his ankles - - - - - That was Prose but if the tide was in it
