"It was a crucial score because Carbury were going very well at that stage," said Athy manager Mark Brophy. Reynolds added another point in stoppage time, sending the red-clad hordes in the 6 ...

Éire Óg-Corrachoill
() is Irish for "Ireland", the name of both an island in the North Atlantic and the sovereign state of the Republic of Ireland which governs 84% of the island's landmass. The latter is distinct from Northern Ireland, which covers the remainder of the northeast of the island. The same name is also sometimes used in English ( ). Etymology The modern Irish ''Éire'' evolved from the Old Irish word '' Ériu'', which was the name of Ireland and of a Gaelic goddess. ''Ériu'' is generally believed to have been the matron goddess of Ireland, a goddess of sovereignty, or simply a goddess of the land. ''Ériu'' has been derived from reconstructed Archaic Irish ''*Īweriū'', Koch, John T.

This suggests descent from the Proto-Indo-European *''piHwerjon-'' ("fertile land" or "abundant land"), from the adjective ''*piHwer- ...
