Ok I'm a little confused by all these Families. Let's start with the Geaney's. Paul is Pauls son from the Pub. I think i'm correct there. Then is Mikey and David Brothers or Cousins? Conor is Colms son I think. Then I hear off a couple more of them playing underage for Dingle. Niall who is supposed to be good too and Dylan. Who are they related to?. Killian Spillane is Toms son I think i'm right. Then are Adrian and John his Brothers or Cousin. Padraig is pats son. Mark O'Connor (Kerry Minor) is related to Tommy Doyle how? Last years Kerry minor Tomas O'Se is he related to Darragh and Tomas? Are all the Boyles from Ballyduff brothers? Is Ken Savage related to Jack and Gearoid Savage from Strand Road ? Can anyone help? I know there is many more but that's it for now.

Mikey and David Geaney are brothers, Paul is their first cousin.
Killian Spillane is Tom Spillane's son.
Kind of stumped after that.

Adrian and Killan are Tom's sons.
Who are the father's of Mickey/David and Paul? Is Sean Geaney still living in Dingle?

As far as I know, Mark O'Connor's mother is Tommy Doyle's first cousin.

so was Tommy related to Tom Gega OConnor then....
I went to school with Tommy Doyles brother John. A good footballer too who would have palyed for Kerry if born a few years later. He was called in to training in Killarney for a while and gave paidi a roasting in training one night...........so the story goes anyway.

Going back the line isn't Killian Spillane's great granda (grand mother's father) the Lyne great?, and so he'd have it from both sides in that generation?

Tomas O Se from last year's minors is Padraig O Se's son (Raidio na Gaeltachta and TG4 presenter), no relation to Darragh, Tomas, Marc as far as I know. Tomas has a younger brother Padraig, who is starting to appear on Gaeltacht teams along with Padraig Og O Se, son of Paidi. Killian, Adrian, and John Spillane are brothers and sons of Tom, whose mother was Maura Lyne, sister of the Lynes of Cleeney. Jonathan Lyne is a cousin, grandson of Denny Lyne, the Polo Grounds captain in 1947. The Boyles are brothers, Liam, Aidan, Mikey, and Padraig. I was told at a schools game a few years ago that Mark O'Connor is a grand nephew of Tom Gega, I can't verify that, I'm not even sure what a grand nephew is.

The Doyle connection is on the maternal side of the family- Gega was an uncle of Mark O'Connor's father, Mark's grand uncle!

Gega O'Connor is a grand-uncle to David and Mike Geaney.

as a bit of diversion from the bit game next sunday.......
Can you name a team made up of players who satisfy the following criteria;
1...played senior football with Kerry since 1970 2... is related to a player who played senior football for Kerry
Paidi is in due to Tom Long. Darragh, Tomas and Marc are in due to Paidi and Tom Long
I can think of about 10 off the top of my head but 15 might be a struggle including the keeper.....

We can put Pat Spillane in goals as he stood in there in 1978 for a few mins while they were replacing the goalie that was sent off..........
I think Johnny Buckley can be included too but I cant recall the ancestor

Johnny Buckley (grandfather, don't know the name) and Mike McCarthy (great grandson of Con Murphy and gradson of Paddy Healy) both qualify. Do Liam and Mike Hassett qualify each other or do they qualify in some other way? Barry John Keane is a grandson of John Dowling. Mick Galwey's uncle Mike won an All Ireland before him. Peter Crowley and Jack and Emma Sherwood are cousins who have all played senior for Kerry. Eamonn Fitzmaurice's great grandfather won a hurling All Ireland in 1891 alongside Pat McCarthy's grandfather. Vincent Shin O'Connor is a grandson of Batt O'Connor of Dingle, who played alongside Bill Casey, Gabriel Casey's father (and Brian Mullins uncle). The commentator would have to be Micheal O Muircheartaigh, nephew of Jerry Pluggy Moriarty. I think that Karl O'Dwyer only played one senior championship game for Kerry but his father Micko won a few medals in his time....Con Brosnan's son Dr. Jim would have to be the County Board Chairman. Sean Kelly, whose uncle Sean won an All Ireland in 1953.

himself....are you sure that they are the same Moriaritys... Pluggy was from The Rock.
I think Dermot Hannifin might qualify too but not certain.

The Listowel Maguires' uncle Mike played with the Kerry minors and did Robert and Johnny Bunyan of Ballydonoghue captain minor and play senior respectively in the same year. Did two of Bomber's brothers also play, Séan in minors? Brother's Jackie and Barry Walsh are sons of Johnny Walsh and did a grandson of Eddie Walsh of Knocknagoshel play minor recently? Not sure of specific criteria here but methinks it would be asier to name wans who never had a relation to don the extrava-geansai glas, bán agus óir? Ah that auld Trinity College professor of genetics is looking like a right fooleen now, him telling us there was no such thing as The Kerry Ingredient! What school did he go top I wonder? I bet he was top of the class where he could see nothing only the blackboard!
BTW Your grand nephew would be a son of your nephew, you would be his grand uncle, i.e. his uncles father. And that's all assuming everyone sleeps in their own bed, what about the news today of the Irish lad in Australia found in bed with a local couple, apparently he climbed in an open window of a stranger's house, will he get red carded for the third man tackle? McCann would have jumped out of the bed after combing their hair!

Pluggy was from the Rock but I am definite that there is a strong connection....might be cousin rather than uncle. Murt Moriarty, Dingle's powerful full forward of the nineties and latterly club manager, is a nephew of Micheals. An ounce of breeding.... I have a notion that you are right about Dermot Hanafin but I can't remember why. Domo Lyne is Tadghie Lyne's son and David Culhane is Kieran Culhane's son. Don't mind finding a team, we'd fill a supporters' bus with players before much longer! Now, enough of the talk....it's time to decide who the current crop of Kerry footballers are going to marry...the DNA is precious but we don't want inbreeding...and we need to clarify the rules, if the likes of Bernard Brogan come down to Kerry for their wives, the family have to be raised in Kerry....

Sean Liston has an AI Senior from 1985.

Sean Liston on seniors, not an older brother? Hey Mickmack, what's the difference between a right hoor, a pure hoor and a gas hoor? I suppose a hoor is a hoor, as a neighbour saluted an O'Hara man once. "O'Hara you hoor you how are you".Ah try this for size, an salty spatter of Ventry Harboured breeding - Divine protege claiming celestial catch of the day, in rush hour, in match of the day, order of the day from the greatest of great Gaelic godfathers, the peerless Paddy Bawn. And just as history repeats and so to mhac an spiorad saol of Sunday Game will always, that fabled finery of Gladiator glas-bán-óir regalia-extrava-geansaí glad rags jersey fall.
Cometh the day, cometh the hour, cometh the man.
Harboured pure brainstormed brainwave thoughts of historic Kingdom brethren victory, brainwash echo flashback, churned from daylight through dusk to dark, through nostalgic dream to dawn. Anchored, embedded and incarnated of K Man 3D sixth sense of anticipation, in finest happy hour of dawn to dusk, of Ventry hotbedrock swell do they spawn.

Tommy & Barry John Walsh are of course sons of Sean from the Golden Years team; likewise David Moran is son of Ogie, holder of 8 Celtic Crosses; Sean Liston played minor, U-21 and senior for Kerry- think he may have a senior medal as a substitute- open to correction on that one. Bernard O'Sullivan of Dingle is father of last year's minor captain Barry.

Mention of John B, and to his good wife RIP.
I had also considered John B to be the very sustenance of the fabric of things literary, and beyond. Funny how Mary was the sustenance that kept John B to the fore and for what it's worth I'd have an idea that the auld literary head puts a lot of pressure on the bannisters in life.
There was also two Kerry minors in the clan, John and Conor, and John B's own claim to fame, well he said that above all he'd like to be remembered as the man who scored the winning point against Duagh in a North Kerry Final, and he lamented never gracing Croker, well as a player. What a statement!

Bernard O'Sullivan of Dingle is father of last year's minor captain Barry. I think Sean Liston has an All-Ireland medal from either '84 or '85, maybe '85. Sean played NFL for Kerry in '84 lining out at fullforward with Mickey Sheehy on the forty in the early days of rebuilding as Micko set sail in the Autumn of 1983 to reconstruct the Kerry team.

I'm pretty sure Murt played NFL for Kerry in the early days of the famine.

Sean Kelly, whose uncle Sean won an All Ireland in 1953. As you mention Emma Sherwood, Ciara Murphy from Lispole, a granddaughter and grand niece, of Sean and Seamus Murphy - not sure of the order- played at wing back for the Kerry seniors ladies team this year in the early rounds of the Munster championship. While up the road towards Castlemaine a second Ciara Murphy but not related won an All-Ireland medal with the Kerry ladies u16 team a few weeks back against Galway to add to her u14 All-Ireland medal won from last year. This particular Ciara Murphy happens to be a niece of the famed red haired Harry Potter from the Crokes, the one and only Colm the Gooch Copper.
