Oskars co-stars share the spoils

Published

on

Division 2
Glenflesk 1-11
Kilcummin 1-11

Off the field, the GAA clubs of Glenflesk and Kilcummin have come together in recent weeks to collaborate on a novel fund-raising project that saw members recreate scenes from famous movies and TV shows. It's great to see two fierce rivals join forces in such a positive manner but the armistice was set to one side for an hour last Sunday as their respective senior teams came head-to-head in Division 2 of the County League.

Fittingly, both clubs walked away with a share of the spoils.

Glenflesk started well in Barraduff and a goal from the dangerous Darragh Roche gave them an early advantage. Kilcummin finished the first half strongly, however, and a Damien O’Leary goal along with points from Noel Duggan had them two points up at the break.

Kilcummin still led by two midway through the second but after substitute Shane McSweeney got the road, a pair of points from Roche drew Glenflesk level. Donal Maher put the visitors ahead very late on but Roche was on hand again to convert a long range free to save the day for Glenflesk.

Scoil Phobail Sliabh Luachra in Rathmore is celebrating a major success after students Eoin Cashman and Alex Thompson were named overall runners-up at the National SciFest finals held in Marino College, Dublin last week.

The pair also won the Regeneron International Science & Engineering Award and will now represent Ireland at the world finals in Phoenix, Arizona in 2026.
Their project, titled Dust Dynamics: Analysing Planetary Bodies through the Ballistic Motion of Lofted Dust Particles, examined how the movement of dust can reveal key information about a planet’s environment, including atmospheric density and gravity. As part of their study, they analysed footage of dust thrown up by the Lunar Roving Vehicle during the Apollo 16 mission in 1972. Using online software and physics calculations learned in school, they estimated the moon’s gravitational acceleration to 1.72 m/s², within 6.7% of the accepted value.
The national finals featured projects assessed by judges from scientific and engineering fields. More than 16,000 students entered SciFest 2025, making the duo’s achievement a significant milestone. Their teacher Kevin McCarthy mentored the project, and the school says the students’ work could be applied to footage from other planetary missions in the future.
