BARELY recovering from a week of horse fair revelry and a friendly soccer match with Liverpool FC, the west Cork town of Dunmanway has another weekend fixture.

THE Milner household in Ballinacarriga is quiet. Situated idyllically, there is a clichéd yet reassuring serenity in the Girlough townland. But Michael Milner is doing his best to disrupt all that.

THE club’s marquee names may be in transit between Oslo and Madrid, but Liverpool reserve team manager John McMahon is still determined to put on a football spectacle in Dunmanway this afternoon.

IT was all hands on deck in Dunmanway yesterday as locals, volunteers and even team members pitched in to get everything ship-shape for the arrival of Premiership giants Liverpool FC.
