Draw for the semi finals was made after lastnights game...
Kilmoyley vs Ballyheigue
Winners of A'dorney/Causeway vs Lixnaw
Would expect Kilmoyley to account for Ballyheigue, other semi final should be bit closer, if its Causeway can see Lixnaw winning handy but id Abbeydorney can get that far can see them pushing Lixnaw all the way!!

Well Cause overcame Abbeydorney the weekend, poor first half very entertaining second half....
Abbeydorney will fell they threw it away as they led at half time but Causeway looked to have more hunger in second half....
They now face Lixnaw, so will be the two managers Creegan vs Hegarty!!

7th of October 2007 - Austin Stack Park, Tralee
Lixnaw Vs Kilmoyley
Kilmoyley will be hot favourites and they deserve the title but should make a great game. Lixnaw won the last two games and are about due a good game.

Got out of the car to go for a swim in Banna yesterday and Ballyheigue had only put up one score against Kilmoyley. Got back into the car half an hour later, and Ballyheigue hadn't scored again!!

Its amazing how seriously hurling is taken in parts of kerry. Eamon Cregan is training Lixnaw. Anthong Daly is training Kilmoyley. Ger Herarty (Limerick hurler in the 90') is training Causeway and Eddie Murphy is training ballyheigue.
Its Cregan v Daly in the final.
Cregan believes that Michael Conway would walk onto the Limerick team

I'm not sure we've ever seen the best of Conway in big games.He got the big score against Thurles a few years back,but there was no real pressure on him in that game.The skill the man has is phenomenal.The scores he gets in some league games and challenges are unbeliveable.I'd like to see him and Brick turn in big performances in the final.Our club hurling in Kerry is not far away from alot of the big counties.If we could get a bit of interest in Tralee/Killarney/Listowel etc theres no reason why we can't have an intercounty team to compete with the best.

well how do folk see the kilmoyley v Lixnaw final going.
kilmoyley beat lixnaw in two finals a few years back. bound to be a huge motivating factor for lixnaw. The return of Paul Galvin is a boost for Lixnaw. His record in county hurling finals is very good. it will be difficult for lixnaw to start him though given how little hurling he has played. Early substitute introduction for Paul i say. His brother Reggie and Killian Fitzmaurice will push hard for starting roles having looked lively when introduced in semi final.
Anthony Daly seems to have Kilmoyley flying. Ballyheigue were poor though and Ballyduff may be have been a bit too cocky. Shane Brick could win this game on his own if he cathces fire. Kilmoyley playing with huge hunger this year. it should be a lively game and have some more buzz and atmosphere than some of the boring fare in the football championship lately.

The fact that Feale Rangers semi final went to a replay was a disaster for Lixnaw. About 4 Lixnaw players are involved......
Kimoyley have the luxury of having all their players available for training.
Still...... I was talking to a few of the Lixnaw players and confidence is high....... and they have James Flaherty as well as Michael Conway.
This game might be worth the trip to Kerry for!

how do ye think either of these teams will fare in the munster championship with two top class coaches over them?
Lixnaw gave Thurles Sars a fright afew years ago alright but besides that we seem to get hammered everytime in the competition.

kilmoyley lost to Blackrock of Cork in 2002 by 4pts in Pairc UI Chaoimh and Lixnaw by a similiar score to Thurles Sars in Thurles 2 years ago. this shows that there is potential for a kerry side to win a game in the competition. would probably require a home draw though unilke in the above 2 cases. Shane Brick and Michael Conway have tormented the above oppositon. Paul Galvin is top class 2 if he got extra hurling under his belt

Best of luck to the Lixnaw team on Sunday. I think they can beat Kilmoyley with four points to spare. Some great talent on both sides but I feel that noone is giving Lixnaw a shot and this is driving them forward. Paul Galvin at training last night and all fired up!!!!!!
Could be a double Lixnaw/Feale Rangers!!
Stranger things have happened

I dont understand why so many are writing Lixnaw off. it must be a huge motivating factor for them. if conway and james flaherty get a supply of ball they will be difficult to hold and introduce Paul Galvin to that forward line mix they will have serious artillery

When was the last time a player won a county hurling and football medal in the same year in Kerry?
The only possible year I can think of is 1980 when Feale Rangers last won the football, but Causeway won the hurling that year so I've no idea.....before that you're looking at Feale Rangers or Shannon Rangers in the 1970s!!
That should provide enough motivation for Paul Galvin!

Killarney won the county hurling title in 1969 with the likes of Johnny Culloty and Derry Crowley starring. Were Kerry All Ireland football champs that year? I know Kerry did 2 n a row around then. Johnny Bunyan won his All Ireland medal in 1975, St Brendans were county champs that year not Ballyduff
Galvin wont need any extra motivation for the game. he was reared with hurling and his family are all hurling stock. I would think Lixnaw will stick with the lads they have had to date to start the game and spring Galvin as a sub. Probably bit too much talk about Galvin in the build up to this match. we should be focusing on the lads that are hurling all year like Mike Conway, John Griffin, James Flaherty, the Bricks, colin harris etc players that would hold their own in a county hurling final in any county.
I suppose having someone like Galvin associated with the game brings a bit of profile to the game of hurling in kerry as does the involvement of Eamon Fitzmaurice and trainers Cregan and Daly. That is no harm in a football mad county

Dan Ryan and a few others would have won the double with Austin Stacks back in the late 20's, early 30's when Stacks won football and hurling in the same year me thinks.

The 8.30 Sports News on TodayFM this morning carried interview with Cregan and Daly ahead of the final on Sunday. Now a Kerry county hurling final being the focal point of a national radios sports bulletin - surely this was the definition of a slow sports news day.

1978: John Bunyan won the football championship with Feale Rangers at centre forward and won the hurling championship with Ballyduff also at centre forward.
