SYMPATHY.
Knockavilla Donaskeigh Kickham GAA club offer their deepest sympathies to Liam, Tony & John Doherty and their families on the recent death of their
beloved mother Elizabeth (Ciss) Doherty (nee Phelan) late of Ballinahinch after a long illness bravely borne. The three boys all wore the black and
amber of Kickhams with great pride and no little success in their youth and are well thought of by all in the club. We also offer our condolences
to the extended Doherty and Phelan families at this sad time. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam

championship on Sunday next in Golden @ 3pm check fixtures list to confirm. Recent games between both teams have been close and exciting and as
both teams are unbeaten at this stage of the competition this will probably be another cracker. We hope you travel in large numbers to shout the

KICKHAM CAMOGIE

TRAINING
Camogie training continues every Friday in the GAA field for all ages groups u6 and up. Thanks to all for support of the cake sale last weekend.

COMMUNITY TEXT ALERT;
The text alert system is now operational in the parish for the last two months. Already, it has been used on numerous occasions. Any of the
information which was sent out to the subscribers has also been used successfully by the Gardai in their effort combating crime in the area.
The committee would urge everyone to continue to be vigilant about strange cars or any suspicious activity in their area. and report it to the
community alert phone, all in strictest confidence. No text goes out on the system until the Gardai analyse the information and determine if a
text is needed.

Cappawhite now also has set up a text alert system, and both our scheme and theirs are now linked up so that all relevant information between
the two parishes can be shared.The committee would also like to thank the local FAS scheme for all their assistance in erecting the 30 road
signs throughout the parish.A community alert meeting will take place this Friday April 19th at 8pm in Knockavilla hall to discuss the text
alert system. Also to be discussed is the introduction of google mapping of all houses in the parish. If this scheme goes ahead, it would mean
that all interested house owners would be given their own co ordinates which then could be used if any of the emergency services were needed,
rather than trying to give directions you would just have to give the co ordinates, which would speed up the response time for the emergency
vehicles.
