SOS . Where has as it happens gone and river feale and any given Sunday. The last few weeks have seen them (or him) endlessly tell us Listowel would only lose if others conspired against. Today only Beale and their mentors did the job. I'm interested to see it from your point of view. Give us something lad(s) . Why the radio silence? Well I was out drinkin after the game, sorry lads! Beale deserved it, simple as. Listowel had chances to finish it but Beale were more clinical, Sean D with 2 great saves. I also never said listowel would only be beaten if the ref conspired against us. In NK anything is possible! Fair play to beale great win and enjoy the celebrations. I might be on for one ;-) apologies Any given Sunday. I may have lumped u in with other posters. And before others say anything. I wasn't quoteing, rather I was summing up the general trends. All done now. Over to McGrath cup for a very brief spell.

Great to see them keep up the tradition as the losing team. Ends on a high for beale so I assume that's a wrap for this year, great having the banter lads. Now on to the next thread

Most journalists report on a game giving you a view as if you were sitting the stand, which is good enough in most cases. VETERAN has you standing on the halfway line seeing it happen around you. You can smell the sweat.

What kind of population would Beale have to draw from? Has the area been as damaged by emigration to the same extent as other parts of the county? It's a place I know precious little about apart from the rare day trip.

Beale includes Ballybunion and while it isn't extraordinarily big in size or population, there was always an amazing pool of football talent. As a strong tourist area fellas would work a lot in an entertainment environment where late nights and a few bevvies at the end of the shift would be the norm. A local once said that if circumstances were different, nobody could compete with them and he wasn't wrong. Walking off the field having giving them a hiding once, my marker told me of the unearthly hour a few of their best players had hit the sack the night before, well that morning actually. Although I was no stranger to a night out myself, I had the cows milked before they had retired. There would be a complimentary soccer talent pool and of course that it is a golf Mecca can be no harm either. I couldn't but notice all the surnames of serious players from previous generations, many of who would have gone on to inter-county. Then again I suppose you could say that of any parish. It is the best readers of the game as opposed to the best players who make the county team although having sad that, townies that they are, they would't lack cuteness, they'd be street wise. Also nice to see a few Ballydonoghue stock in there, hard to keep us down!
As for Tomás comparing them to Cahersiveen, I'd say North Kerry could handle their beer a bit better!

You are saying we are muck savages with drink on board in the deep south Ballythefireside? Just like our footballing poets down here there are plenty of eloquent bar stool poets in these parts also. I'd imagine the more agricultural type north Kerry footballer on the tear might be a bit more like a draught mare in a china tea shop with big auld arses knocking all before them!

I'd imagine the more agricultural type north Kerry footballer on the tear might be a bit more like a draught mare in a china tea shop with big auld arses knocking all before them! I'd say you'd find all types in every parish in the county, footballers both good and bad, bulls (and mares ?) in china shops not in China with arses of all dimensions, etc. Now we also have a few piss artist poets in NK and can't get rid of them, even a Mayo one who claims to be our saviour although we found out he was actually kicked out of prison in America, can you imagine that?, and we took him in and you know rest, can' rid of him. He is worse than any pioneer you'll ever meet. In fairness Cahersiveen would have some GAA pedigree, half of Donegal reckon Jacko was the greatest ever, the other half think Maurice, and I ain't exaggerating as much as you might think. My acquaintances would mostly be of an age that spans both playing careers and funny I only really figured all that out as I write.

Under 21 championship Listowel 1-13 Ballylongford/Beale/Asdee.0-7. Playing with the aid of a stiff breeze it was Listowel who started the brighter with Cathal Keane opening their account in the first minute,Darragh Hughes added a goal three minutes later which set them on their way to dominate the scoring in the first half they continued with a steady stream of points from a lively set of forwards to notch up 1-9 without reply.The combination side were finding it difficult to get on the scoreboard but their opening score could have been a goal but for a brilliant save from Eddie Horgan from an Ian Mannix shot in the 20th minute the same player added two pointed frees for the combination side to leave the half time score Listowel 1-9 BBA.0-2. With the wind to their back the combination side needed to set about reducing the deficit but it was Listowel and Brendan Flavin with a well taken point that extended their lead in the 1st minute.The combination side were now coming more into the game and Darragh Keane opened their account with a point in the 2nd minute Andy O'Connell added another three minutes later after a good run.Ian Mannix was next up with two converted frees to leave it 1-10 to 0-6.Listowel were now finding it difficult to score against the wind and had a number of wides before Sam Tarrant added a pointed free in the 20th minute.Eamon McElligott was moved to full forward for the combination side and immediately brought a save out of Eddie Horgan the same player was brought down for a penalty five minutes later up stepped Darragh Keane but his shot was well saved by the inform Eddie Horgan in the Listowel goals.David Keane added two more Listowel points to finish their scoring.The combination side had one more attack but Eddie Horgan tipped over Darragh Keane's shot.

The future of Listowel looks bright judging on today's performance! Wasn't going to go to game but said Id go over since it was in Coolard but should have stayed at home as BBA were very poor! Ian mannix showed reasonably well as did andy o Connell in the second half, Eamon mcelligott proved to be a handful also! No young players shown bright for BBA for me to name any to be ones to watch for senior next year.. Disappointing to see only 1 ballylongford player starting and is Probalby a reflection of the future of the club! Darragh broderick (Probalby should have started for seniors in final) and Cormac Mulvihill were good in the backs for listowel while all 6 forwards looked lively! if I had to name a few who aren't on senior team I would say Sam Tarrant, Eddie Horgan, Niall Collins and darragh Hughes look like they could be getting called to Listowel senior panel next year after great performances today

BBA, 3 parishes to field one team?, I don't recall the numbers ever falling that low before. Is it purely down to emigration driven by rural de-poulation and lack of job prospects? I remember a time when Beale alone would have had 20 very good players across U18/U21.

but how come these areas cant field amongest themselves, yet then the likes of Ballydonoghue can go all out on their own without any help?
it cant be just down to population (and a good few of these places have medium sized villages), it must be down to club issues.
