The first production by the Patrician Musical Society was Maritana in 1953. They have been bringing opera and musicals to Galway audiences ever since. There have been many names associated with the Patricians through the years -- Sonny Molloy, Marie Geraghty, Gerry G l y n n , Angela Coyne, Anne Watson, Teresa Forken, Pat Broderick, Teresa Margetts, D o d o Courtney, Tom Feeney, Molly Browne, Martin Tuohy, Johnny Cloherty the list is very long. There has always been a sense of fun about these shows, which have been held in St. Patrick's Hall, The Rosary Hall, The Town Hall, and the Jesuit Hall. To help j o g your memory, we have today p h o t o g r a p h s from three productions.

for t h e p r o d u c t i o n o f Rigolleto in 1961. They are, back row, Dr. Kilgarriff, Sean Beatty, the stage manager, Tess Walshe, J. J. Coppinger, 'Waller' Kelly, and Dick Kilgarriff, who was in charge of lights.

They are, front r o w , Martin Lally, Kieran Dalton, Brian Cunningham, Eamonn Fitzpatrick and Adrian Glynn.

SAM MAGUIRES G.A.A. ROUNDABOUT
SUCCESSFUL R E N M O R E U-14 9-A-SIDE (F). For the third week in a row I'm s t a r t i n g o f f w i t h Renmore's initial U-14 9-aside blitz played for the first t i m e last M o n d a y in Renmore. I watched 5 games in all in less than 3 hours and e n j o y e d them all. The winners of Corn Ui hUiginn (A Group) were Renmore A who defeated Salthill A in the final by 3--7 to 4--0. The winners of the losers group were Renmore B who defeated Mervue B in the final by 4--4 to 2--2. It was a feast of good football and happily the weather favoured the occasion. In all there were 16 teams involved and everything went like clockwork. You will hear more of Sean Leen, Fintan Gavin and J. P. Quinn (Renmore A), Ger Farrell and Aidan White (Salthill A), Tommy McDonnell and Sean Og Dunleavy (Salthill H i . Gerard Wall and Jim Higgins (Renmore B). But the footballer who was most impressed me was Michael "Tiny" Ryan of Mervue A. Here is a player of great vision. The blitz -- the brainchild of Martin Newell, Colm McGowan and Tom Deavy -- is an unqualified success and generated great interest in Renmore last M o n d a y . It has great potential and indeed so has the venue. And it certainly does justice to the man the cup commemorates Michael 6 hUiginn -- a great lover of gaelic football. INTER FIRM FOOTBALL Its inter-firm time again before we know it and between here and the end of July I'll keep you abreast of happenings. There are 5 divisions in all -- Div I, for the Vauxhall Cup (4 teams double round). Div 1A for the McDonagh Trophy (7 teams). Div 2 for the Bowmaker Cup (10 teams). Div 3 for the Essential Cleaners Cup (6 teams). Div 4 for the Richard Quinn Trophy (8 teams) and Div 5 for the Devaney Cup (9 teams). In all there are 44 teams. GALWAY'S WIN OVER DUBLIN Galway's win over Dublin (S.F.) in the Corn na Casca at Swords last Sunday by 0--12 to 1--5 is another good step on the road to (we hope) a Connacht S.F.C. title success this year. Nice to see newcomer T o m i s Tierney team up so well with Brian Talty at midfieid. Galway have now beaten Cavan and Dublin in their build up. G o o d too to see Barry Brennan back with a bang scoring 5 points in the first half and Padhraic Conroy of Leitir M6r, the former brilliant minor who scored 2 points. Any win over the new Dublin team is worth noting. G O R T ' S BIG WIN Gort's Senior hurlers d e f e a t e d St. G a b r i e l s (London) at*Duggan Park, Ballinasloe in the All Ireland S.H. club semi-final by 4-- 12 to 0--9 in an incidentpacked game in which 3 players (2 from St. Gabriels and 1 from Gort) were sent to the line. This w a s regrettable for two reasons. One because an incident packed game is always to be deplored and two because most of the St. Gabriels team are Galway exiles and the opponents were well known to each other. Gort go on now to meet the Kilkenny champions James Stephens in the All Ireland S.H. Club championship semi-final. FR. G R I F F I N ' S N O T E S J.F.L. Fr. Griffins 0--11 Killanin 0--4. M.F.L. Fr. Griffins 5--6 Eire 6g 1--2. Fr. Griffins are really serious about all their teams in '82 and these 2 successes are a result of g o o d attendance at training and

Swimmers in Action
Renmore Dolphins Swimm ing Club will take on Ennis Swimming Club (one of the foremost clubs in Munster) o n S a t u r d a y in w h a t promises to be a most exciting competition. Ken Cawley, Ray Madden, Deirdre Egan, and Orla Kelly will lead a strong Renmore team while Ennis will have several Munster champions competing. Renmore will be hoping that their unbeaten record will continue thanks to the work of their brilliant swimming coach John O'Healy.

Flying Club Open Day
Learning to fly for many people is the realisation of a long cherished ambition. With this in mind Galway Flying Club have organised an Open Day for the benefit of those who may wish to avail of a trial lesson. Flight training is carried out on the club's dual controlled aircraft by pilots who have passed a stringent department of transport (civil aviation) instructors examination. There is plenty of fun, social activity, and hard c o m p e t i t i o n a m o n g the flying community in areas such as aerobatics, navigation, competitions and fly-ins throughout the country. At this stage many readers will ask "how much will it cost me to fly?" This question is best answered by revealing the fact that the typical club member spent less that ten pounds per week on flying during the past year. For details of the open day see the advertisment in this paper.
