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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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