Sad death of Milan in crash

THE COMMUNITY of Borris is in shock this week following a second road death in the space of a week. Twenty-five-year-old Milan Mican, originally from the Czech Republic and a popular employee at Keenans in Borris, was killed when his Yamaha R1 motorbike collided with an SUV on Saturday morning.

SHE DID US PROUD! Jessica Adamson shone like the star she is when she appeared on stage last week at the Rose of Tralee. The Hacketstown girl looked like she was born to be onstage as she was interviewed by Daithí O Se, much to the delight of her thousands of followers.

Kilbride edge out champs

KILBRIDE 0-07 RATHVILLY 0-05: RATHVILLY'S perceived invincibility ran thin in Spellman Park on Saturday when they surrendered their automatic SFC semi-final place when crashing rather tamely to a very enthusiastic Kilbride who led for much of the trip. The champions have won a county title with five scores before, but this time they were on the receiving end for much of the contest, but should have made more use of a generous free-count in their favour in the second half.
