<p>When the Ireland Tennis  Team was  announced for Billie Jean King Cup Europe/Africa Group III,  which took  place in Skopje, North Macedonia from 4th-9th July. It was a great source of joy that Kate Gardiner was selected for the Irish team to gain her first International vest at Senior level. Of course it was a great source of joy  for Kate her club Rushbrooke Tennis club, her college in  England, her previous schools and a great source of joy for her  friends and indeed the people of Cobh and the Great Island and further afield.</p>
<p>Personally I am delighted for Kate, having  know her since her Primary School days at Bunscoil Rinn an Chabhlaigh in Rusbrooke. She excelled at the sports she took part in  at school, Athletics,  football and camiogie. It was obvious at that stage that her love of tennis would win out over the rest and so it   came to pass, with the biggest honour of her career  having been selected for the Irish team. When I was producing the hard copy of Cobh News every 2 weeks we had the monthly award sponsored by Coral leisure and the Waters Edge Hotel, for an aspiring and successful sports star. Kate was the first award winner followed by Timmy Wilk,  the first Polish boy to play for Cork and who helped them to the All-Ireland Minor hurling  title in 2021 as a 16 year old and was selected as one of the top 15  minor hurlers in the Country.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Xplore Local Cobh App</h3>
<p>After providing the finance with Cobh Credit Union to set up Xplore Local Cobh App, which has over 100  listings of every aspect of Cobh and daily news update, it was a no brainier to re establish the award under the auspices of the App and sponsored by Ber Rowe of Coral leisure. Rising boxing star Callum Walsh was the  first award winner. He was followed by  Amy Duggan   another talented Sports star with achievements for  camogie, football athletics and basketball, basketball is now her no 1  she was  selected for the Irish under 18 basketball team, and played a starring role for the team at Sofia in Bulgaria . St Mary's NS teacher  Jess Bruton on a break from teaching,  has qualified for the world Triathlon finals, after her fantastic win in the ladies section at the recent Ironman Triathlon in Youghal,   is pencilled in for August award.</p>
<p>Now its  Kate's turn for the month of July a. little delayed. Kate  a university student in England  by her tennis exploits has catapulted her college to the top of the university rankings in England and we will will keep you posted on the progress of this remarkable young lady, the pride of Rushbrooke tennis club. A very worthy winner of the a monthly award. Speaking at the presentation of the award Coral Manager Ber Rowe herself,  an accomplishes triathlete and who put up a fantastic performance on the shorter version of the Ironman in Youghal, congratulated Kate and wished her continued success. My thanks to Ber and Coral for their continued support of our young sports people.</p>

<p>Trespassers have been caught on security cameras on Spike Island as they damaged the tourist attraction, in what was an act of vandalism both harmful to the historic buildings and dangerous to themselves.&nbsp;</p>
<p>It is understood that a group of five men arrived on the island in a private RIB boat at around 7.30 am on Sunday morning before CCTV captured them trespassing by jumping over the security gate and going on to cause damage to visitor attractions and the natural landscape.</p>
<p>The culprits managed to jump a 20-foot wall, ripped fencing, and ventured out to the dangerous dried-up moat.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In a "disheartening" act of vandalism, the door of loved tourist attraction Little Nellie's House was "kicked in" during the incident.</p>
<p>Spike Island's Operations Manager Alan O Callaghan said the vandalism of the historical site was both "a detriment to us... and a danger to themselves."</p>
<p>"It's disheartening, it's such an important part of our history here on the island."</p>
