Kerry soccer star Eabha Maguire says it is ‘a privilege' to captain her county in Gaynor Cup
From kicking a ball around her house with her family, to donning the green and gold in national competitions, Maguire's journey has been one of dedication, passion and continuous development. Now, as she prepares to lead Kerry in the University of Limerick, she is ready to inspire her teammates on and off the pitch. An attacking-minded midfielder with a sharp eye for goal and the ability to pick out that decisive pass, Maguire has never shied away from challenges. Remarkably, she was representing Park's under-13 side when she was just nine years old. 'I first began kicking a ball at home with my dad and little brother Oran. We are a sports mad family, there is always a ball being played in the house! I started playing soccer with St. Brendan's Park in the academy when I was seven. There was no girls team at that age so I played with the boys group up to under-11. 'At nine, I played with the Park Girls under-13 team and eventually we got an under-12 team together. Myself and club mate Eve McEvoy went on a recruitment drive and with girls from school and younger girls in the academy we formed the under-12 team.' A privilege is how Maguire described getting the chance to captain her team in this competition. A balance between competitiveness and camaraderie is a key part of the team's identity. Maguire and many of her teammates have represented Kerry with distinction across multiple age levels, collecting silverware at under-12 and under-13 level. While an under-14 title has so far eluded them, she hopes this could be the year that changes. She watched last year's Gaynor Cup campaign from the sidelines, but this year she captains the group as the next instalment is now just around the corner. 'I was selected for the Kerry Inter League under-12 team and we won the All Ireland final that year and the league. The following year we again won the All-Ireland under-13 final and the league and cup double at under-14 level with The Park. 'This year we got to the under-14 All-Ireland Cup final against Galway but were beaten. 'It feels good to be in the squad this year, and it's competitive, and it's fun as well like. I watched the Gaynor Cup last year. They didn't do very well, but we might. 'I love having fun with my friends and winning. I love learning new skills. I am looking forward to the Gaynor Cup in June and it's a privilege to captain this great bunch of girls from all over Kerry, we are not just teammates but friends. 'We're kind of all together as a team, we include everyone, and we're all friends with each other.'

US firm to build hydrogen plant for 'green steel' in Algeria
The US-based Hecate Energy will join hands with Tosyali Algerie, one of Africa's largest steel manufacturers with facilities in Oran in northwest Algeria, to build a large green hydrogen plant to support the production of green steel in the North African nation. Newspapers in the OPEC nation said the project was the theme of talks on Wednesday between representatives of the two companies and Rachid Hachichi, Director General of Algeria's state oil operator Sonatrach. They quoted Sonatrach as saying in a statement that the 'integrated green hydrogen project' would be based on studies conducted in 2024 by those two firms. A new memorandum of understanding (MOU) is expected to be signed between Sonatrach, Algeria's state owned Sonelgaz company, Hecate and Tosyali enabling the implementation of this integrated project, the statement said. It said the project would be executed in two phases, the first of which will be for completing studies aimed at assessing the project's feasibility and profitability. 'The second phase will focus on the construction of the project, which will contribute to achieving the goals in the field of energy transition,' the statement added without mentioning project cost, location and production capacity. Algeria, a major gas producer, has launched plans to develop renewable energy and green hydrogen projects as part of a strategy to trim reliance on conventional electricity and save fossil fuels for export. Officials said the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) are sponsoring the relevant studies, which cost around 28 million euros ($32 million). The plan focuses on building institutional and technical capacities in the field of renewable energy, creating appropriate conditions for implementing renewable energy projects and providing tools for developing the green hydrogen economy, they said. It also includes establishing an information database on national potential for green hydrogen applications, in addition to providing planning and monitoring tools to achieve energy savings and reduce emissions. Algeria aims to increase the share of renewable sources in its energy mix to nearly 27 percent by 2026 with the production of around 15 gigawatts (GW). The level is set to grow further in the next five years. In 2024, six European and Algerian energy companies joined forces to assess the feasibility of large-scale green hydrogen production in Algeria and its transport to Europe through the planned 'SoutH2 Corridor' project. The 3,300-km hydrogen pipeline aims to connect North Africa with Italy, Austria, and Germany, potentially supplying 40 percent of Europe's hydrogen import target by 2030.
