hi
Just looking at the fortunes of Listowel getting a right hiding from Templenoe last night. Surely Listowel are not that bad , I know it was in Templenoe but this is a disgrace . For a town with only one club in it and 2 secondary schools they have really fallen from grace. My,how the mighty have fallen
As for Tarbert, they are getting to a stage where they are the whipping boys in the county now. kenmare racked up some score last night .
I remember going to Tarbert and dreading it , Coming away sore bruised battered and pointless.
Or is this a harsh view of both clubs and may be a view of the future of North Kerry football. These are clubs with the right leadership and personnel in place to deliver, so is it the players whom are at fault or is it evolution of the rural Gaa scene
Definitely the fear factor of playing these lads in North Kerry has dwindled .

Surely Listowel should be stronger given the population?

I would never have called listowel nor tarbert 'mighty'. Both clubs had a few years in Div 1, listowel even made seniors for a while but def not mighty (did tarbert even make intermediate?).
Look, all club go through peaks and troughs. Laune Rangers, legion, Desmonds and Stacks were all mighty at one time, they also dropped from those lofty heights to lower levels at too.
Listowel really should be performing based on the size of the town and population but maybe things are tough for the moment or perhaps they took their eye off the ball at the underage level for a few years.
I believe tarbert actually over-performed and now they are reverting their base level.

Surely it's a bit harsh to condemn Gladiator of “stirring rubbish” I do not have sufficient insight into the inner workings of the North Kerry Board and I have no wish to question any person’s loyalty to their club, Board or their principles. Neither am I a conspiracy theorist and for slander I believe you can get sued big time. (Moderator watches these things like a hawk.) I was born and raised in North Kerry and played with my club there until I ultimately left to make my own way in the world. A friend of mine, with dreams of being a master criminal, took it upon himself to 'borrow' a Garda’s cap in Ballybunion one balmy summers night many years ago - boasted about it to his ex-girlfriend - got grassed up by said lady - arrested and finally released in the middle of a bog in Lyreacrompane - at 3 in the morning. Apart from that, I have great memories of North Kerry!
But I digress. I had very limited opportunity to attend club games in North Kerry Board area for upwards of thirty years until about four years ago when circumstances brought me back to Kerry again. What struck me most were of course the impressive facilities that were now in place as a result of hard working clubs and communities. Unfortunately, not a much more has changed at all. Some of the ‘goings-on’ have been referred to on other threads over the years as well as being loosely referred to in the media in general and to my mind should not be allowed to happen or repeated.
The essence of any Board is a common commitment and a purpose in which members, players and supporters can see and believe in. Credible Boards have an ethos related to winning, being first, revolutionizing, and being on the cutting edge in general. Any institution that fails to compete is on the path to stagnation and will inevitably be subjected to criticism. IMO.

It would be nice if somebody focused on the vast strides Templenow have made in the last 5 or so years, backboned by some fantastic under-age teams that they have managed to bring through to the senior ranks. They are in a good position to get promotion to Division 1 and have a great chance of winning the Junior Championship. Its a lesson to other clubs that you necessarily don't need fantastic facilities or huge numbers to be successful, get the structures right starting at the bottom ring and you can build from there.

Agoalisworth3points - that is probably one of the most immature comments I have ever read on this forum. You're obviously very proud to be an 'ABL', I never knew such a group existed. There are some very uneducated foolish people on this forum and frankly contributers such as yourself have no place on it. I can nearly guess what club you're from, but I won't say. You use the word 'karma'. If you'd even bother to look at the fixture list you will notice that Emmets are actually in a good position to ensure safety. Listowel have lost players to America recently like a lot of other clubs around the county and unfortunately it has impacted them a lot more than others. There are a few games left to be played and fellas will be back so I would refrain from writing their obituary just yet. Oh yeah, before I go: grow the f### up

In fairness to listowel they have totally dominated the north kerry championship over the last 10 years.
their underage is good, any one that passes the pitch on a saturday morning will see the work going on.
they still have enough points got in div 2 so should be fine at the end of year.
tarbert have constantly been in div 1 and 2 for past 10 years which is a remarkable achievement for such a rural club.
really the have been punching above their weight

This game today was of poor quality
Listowel def deserved the win, should see them safe in 2 for another year,
Tarbert are in total and utter trouble, what's happening to this team, looked like a junior NK club . No fight or battle left in them at all . All cannot be well in there camp.
Down to 3 they are going and will it stop there I'm afraid not.
They have one of the worst score differences in the entire 5 leagues .
Listowel are lucky they came up against them today as they were not much better themselves, a fortunate goal aswell.

Clubs go through ups and downs. It depends on the number of players available at any given time.
To set up a thread to monitor the results of a club is extremely unfair. It smacks of a personal grudge.
There are about 120 clubs I think and Kerry football has flourished through the years with each club dealing with its own situation.

Club football is sporadic, i.e talent can lack and then it flourishes, every team gets a chance. Coastal clubs like Tarbert and Ballylongford are geographically limited by 50% although I haven't looked at populations or the area. Duagh is Kerry's biggest parish but the population density would be very low.

I always thought Ballymac was Kerry's biggest parish?
