Both teams were able to build up a lead and but were allergic to converting easy points on their respective days - the difference was the miracle recovery by our Hues. At least Brosnach know what they have to do to stay at the top table and NK football will remain strong if form can be maintained, maybe they can all up the pace and we could be in for a golden era. An interesting final for Johnny Bunyan !!! Living in Ballyduff, a lifetime of service to Ballyduff , a bag full of championship medals in hurling with them and a Ballydonoghue football legend The Bunyan's have been noble servants to both fiefdoms in both codes for over half a century that I have been around and this will be but another milestone in what is a remarkable journey. Having said that I'd love to have a 'mind monitor' on 'em the next day to find out what emotions are going through the heads and Robert O Muirecheartaigh's commentary will be challenged of divided loyalty but he'd will carry it off spectacularly as always and that will be that at the long whistle - it will be all over bar the drinking and whatever that does or doesn't lead to! If I am not mistaken Johnny played with both clubs at the same time and though open to correction, do I vaguely recall an evening in Ballyduff that Johnny played football with the Duffers against Ballydonoghue? It would be all sports anyway, maybe it was when he had just married-in back there, in that era both clubs were partially merged on and off with Duffer footballers playing for the Hues. As I said I am open to correction, so no missiles please, friendly or otherwise! Though from the Far East side of Ballydonoghue the Bunyan's had a farm in Ballyduff to the very West Bank - if they had a farm in Yorkshire they'd star at Cricket and if they had land in the North Pole they'd be good at Ice Hockey. 'When in Rome' as they say! Johnny also played Rugby with Listowel and my claim to fame is that I once beat him in a game of pool. And if that isn't enough for an intoxicating cocktail, then remember that both brothers are wed to Duffers and didn't Johnny's missus hurl at a high level? Reminds of Mick Finucane and his camogie star wife Peggy donning the green and gold in the same hour. Ah man such folklore! Is the river cashen the dividing line between them Interesting, yip, the Feale becomes the Cashen - is there a river separating Finuge (Lixnaw Parish) and Ballyduff that meets the Feale/Cashen at that point? Is it the same point that the Feale becomes the Cashen? Ah be jazus over to someone else now - I've done enough stirring for wan night! PS Thanks for the broadcast, a pity Broadband let us all down.

In the mid 70s Ardfert and Ballyduff had outstanding hurling teams but Johnny Bunyan was the difference between them (especially 1976 final). Not in the sense of pure hurling skill but a ferocious competitor at CHF. He usually got the better of all opponents.

Is the river cashen the dividing line between them yep, its as close as it gets to a local derby. ballyduff were the team that dethroned Ballydonoghue in 1993, the last time ballydonoghue went into a championship as champions. ballyduff then beat them in the final in 1994. im not sure when was the last time they met in a final before that but you are talking about the 50s i would think at the very least and i maybe correct in saying 1994 was the only time they met before in a final.

Ah there's great comradeship there and it goes way back - even a few town-lands on the parochial bounds like Ballyconry had their own teams of old, and didn't Kerry win the first (or one of the first?) ever Hurling AI finals with Ballyduff representing us as reigning county champs. But it will be business as usual, frenemies, friends we are but enemies for the hour and a local derby could be very interesting given the way the form is dancing in this NK championship. This is what the GAA is really about and there will be some stories of old told. Duffers are a sturdy race and though a small ball fraternity, there were years when they had more good big ballers. As Robert O'Muircheartaigh noted, the Duffers did the double twice, i.e. Hurling County Championship and NK football Championship - with the hurling already under their belt this year they are going for the 'treble double'. The Hues are just going for back-to-backs and a bit of sweet revenge for '93 and '94 - as it is a dish bests served cold the timing is about right wouldn't you say! Both parishes truly love their GAA and 'tis a fool who would be making too many predicaments so fool I'll be and claim 'tis ours to lose - sure one cup each will do just fine and I see a 3 or 4 or maybe even a 5 in a row for the Hues - now no pressure lads, just do the business!

While Ballyduff was the name representing Kerry it was a selection from Ballyduff, Kilmoyley Lixnaw and Ardfert in 1891. Kilmoyley dissolved themselves that year and went with ballyduff so that Kerry would be strong enough for bigger hurling counties. It was a seminal year as from that year on the GAA allowed selections from all clubs to represent a county in the cbamponship. Kerry hurling was back to square one but they won the 1891 title. The club hurling championship wasnt seen again till around 1970.

The club hurling championship wasnt seen again till around 1970. Golden nuggets like this just show how misleading half baked history can be and what you are saying poses more questions than it answers. Here am I am now thinking of conclusions I drew that are doubtful as regards when clubs were established, etc. It was a chat I had a few years back with Ballyconry's Johnny Houlihan that introduced me to the picture then. Ballyconry is probably best described as group of townlands but just like say Tullamore at the other side of Ballydonogue parish, they had a team in the NK championship. Though the Horse Kennellys would be in Listowel parish Tim's father Mickey played with Tullamore and didn't some Tralee county player also tog out with a Ballydonoghue club - a Sheehy? I better stop now as I am going to put my foot in it. A fond fact memory though was that my late father Jackie Hegarty and his two brothers Christy and Denis had but one actual football boot between them and boy did it have some stitches - and they had a few bob about them as they sold turf in the towns and cities, a valuable cash crop. I have penned this in Sod's Law and hopefully it will see the light of day. Such exchange as this is invaluable for setting the scene so ta Mick.

are they allowed to stream the game this weekend? Towards the end of last weeks affair Robert O'Muircheartaigh said it would be a delayed transmission this Sunday, ah maybe a half way house that gives the diaspora what we want while not affecting gate money. I don't think the latter is significant but maybe I'd say that anyway. Those of us on localish time zone are hardly starved of action and delayed transmission is of no consequence to US and Down-unders. And fair dues to the NK board and the voluntary effort - true GAA spirit and where else would you get it? PS Warning to locals - don't mention the result to us on social media or indeed accidentally by text or whatever, until late Sun night anyway as we want to enjoy the element of surprise in our delayed viewing - Look away now as eternally rewarded Colm Murray of RTE would say!

Easy win for Ballydonoghue today to claim 2 in a row NK Championship wins Is there a team in NK to stop the 3 in a row ? I don’t think so was surprised how they dealt with Ballyduffs physicality for such a young team Final score Ballydonoghue 1 - 13 Ballyduff 1 - 4

Now they say an hour after the game, that's how long it will take 'em to get from the field to the pub - as good a reason as any, if only da hoors told us!
