Though a low voter turn out, sincere congrats to Vet for being unanimously recognised as the star reporter. I suppose I will have to nominate myself as Poet of The Year seeing as nobody else will! Now when and where will we have our testimonial night!

Seriously, I think Club of the year should be between Ballydonoghues for the two in a row in the NK big ball and the Duffers for the county small ball and runners up in the NK big ball - great for rural Ireland.

Quote of the day: "You have the youth" - Eddie Dowling of 1947 Polo Grounds v Cavan - that's what I hear him say of promise his native Ballydonoghue shows. Can someone outline the potential pathway here to an AI?

HAPPY XMAS AND 38th TO ALL FROM THE POET OF THE YEAR!

Performance of the year in hurling: Galway in the All Ireland final.

Minor of the year:David Clifford.

Game of the year:Mayo v Roscommon in the drawn quarter final. It was surreal on so many levels.

Sportstar Of The Year (All Sports): Paul O’Donovan- Rowing.

Forum Contributor of the year: Jackiel. Interesting insights from outside the Kingdom.

Non Kerry Forum Contributor of the Year:thebluepanther.

Disappointment of the year: 1. Kerry’s seniors lack of follow through from League to Championship. 2. The Ballyragget Fiasco. 3. The growing divide between the various levels in the GAA.4. The ending of Seo Spoirt.

Bizarre Moment Of The Year:1.The North and South Kerry Championships both being completed before St.Stephen’s Day.

2. Rock’s free hitting the post in the League Final. I was resigned to extra time and then it happened and I thought ‘maybe this is it, maybe this thing is changing’. An illusion though in the longer term.
