Enterprising pupils take top awards

LOUTH County Enterprise Board hosted the county finals of the Student Enterprise Awards and were delighted to welcome up to 200 students to the Fairways Hotel in Dundalk. The competition is an exciting and rewarding experience for young people, creating a culture where students think more readily of becoming entrepreneurs and setting up their own business in the future. It enhances their creativity, improves communication skills and provides practical uses for business studies topics.

Drama in spades but no finesse

THERE was incident aplenty in this eagerly-awaited Louth derby played in front of the live TV cameras – but in terms of quality it was poor fare. While it's too early to pass any sort of valid judgement, the signs were not too promising, with spectators having every right to expect a lot better from the respective teams and indeed from the officials.
