Damian Stack at Austin Stack Park
September 1 2018 12:00 AM
What happened at the end shouldn't and mustn't overshadow what happened before and what happened after.
The tawdry scenes which greeted the final whistle are of no concern to Lixnaw. All that mattered to them was Martin Stackpoole's save, the win and their ninth county championship title.
Fergus Fitzmaurice's men were worthy winners of a final which took its time to catch fire, but once it did provided us with the type of excitement we've come to expect of Kerry hurling's show-piece occasion.
That the drama continued after the full-time whistle is disappointing and a distraction from what we should be talking about - Lixnaw's joy unbound, the outpouring of emotion as fans swept onto the pitch (and remained there for the best part of an hour afterwards) and Shane Conway's undoubted masterclass.
Pretty much everything the UCC student touched turned to gold on Sunday afternoon. He was a step and a second ahead of practically everybody else on the pitch. He waltzed around like he owned the place, imperious and unerring.
Once again he was responsible for the lion's share of Lixnaw's scores - converting just under seventy percent of his team's total. Conway scored eight frees and five from play and earned a good chunk of those eight frees himself too.
A lot of us suggested before the game that to stop Lixnaw you have to stop Conway. That may well still be the case, it's just that saying it and doing it are two very different things indeed.
In the first half Conway was responsible for six of Lixnaw's eight scores. Nearly everything went through him. It took the Kerry star less than a minute to convert his first free into the Horan's end (the breeze was at Lixnaw's backs for the first half).
Even though Daniel Collins struck back for Kilmoyley in short order, the momentum was obviously with last year's runners-up. After eight minutes, three points unanswered (two from Conway and one real beauty from Colin Sheehy) sent Lixnaw into a four-one lead.
By fourteen minutes they were five-one clear as Kilmoyley missed a succession of chances against a difficult and swirling breeze. With Lixnaw beginning to stretch their legs Shane Brick's side needed to do something and quick.
On nineteen minutes their prayers were answered when Kieran Regan and Daniel Collins combined for a goal that came ever so slightly against the run of play.
On twenty five minutes, following something of a lull, Conway pointed another free from well inside his own half of the pitch to rejuvenate the Lixnaw challenge.
Collins struck back quickly with another free, before Lixnaw took advantage of a mix up in the Kilmoyley defence to strike for a goal of their own. Kilmoyley keeper John Brendan O'Halloran was turned over and Shane Conway assisted John Griffin for a tonic goal on twenty eight minutes.
A couple of swapped frees left it a four point game at the break - 1-7 to 1-3 - and really that had to have been a little disappointing to Lixnaw, who hit an not inconsiderable eight first half wides (after those early wides Kilmoyley's shooting improved greatly in the half).
With the breeze to come in the second half it was looking pretty good for Kilmoyley. That's not quite how it turned out of course. Lixnaw thrived playing into the breeze in the second half. The quality of their hurling improved and they utterly dominated at puck-out time.
Three minutes into the half they'd extended their lead to five points and, while Stackpoole had to be at his best to prevent Collins from scoring on thirty four minutes, Lixnaw retained that five point lead by the thirty eighth minute - 1-5 to 1-10.
Another Conway free stretched that advantage to six by forty one minutes and it was then, just as Lixnaw seemed to be pulling away, that Kilmoyley struck back and struck back hard with a goal at just the right moment.
Jordan Conway sent a beautiful pin-point accurate pass right down the pitch and right through the centre of the Lixnaw defence to pick out Maurice O'Connor, who finished past Stackpoole with real aplomb.
A three point game again and with about twenty minutes to go (including time added on) it was again looking good for Kilmoyley. It was looking even better when over the next five minutes they outscored Lixnaw two points to one to make it a two point game - 2-7 to 1-12 following a pair of Kieran Regan points.
Over the next ten minutes the game ebbed and flowed a little but the line of travel was clear - Kilmoyley were on the march. A couple of pointed frees from Daniel Collins on fifty two and fifty three minutes brought Kilmoyley to within a single score of Lixnaw, 2-10 to 1-14.
On fifty seven minutes the sides were level thanks to another Collins free. Digging deep Lixnaw conjured up the next two scores, both from their magician in the full-forward line, Shane Conway.
Into time added on they retained a two point lead, but the drama didn't end there. First Joe McElligott had a chance for goal drift just wide and a minute later Kilmoyley had a penalty for a foul on Collins (following a long ball into the area by Seánie Murnane).
By now there were sixty six minutes on the clock and referee Fergal Horgan indicated that the penalty would be the game's last action. Collins stepped up to take it, Stackpoole guessed correctly (left) and pulled off a marvellous save and the rest, as they say, is history.
Kilmoyley would protest that their rebound should have counted and ugly scenes developed, but the real story lay elsewhere, with Lixnaw and their band of brothers who bounced back after coming oh-so close and failing to get over the line the year before.
No question, they deserved their moment in the sun.
Lixnaw: Martin Stackpoole, Michael Quilter, Stephen Power, Declan McCarthy, Gerard Stackpoole, Darragh Shanahan, Pat Corridan, John Griffin (1-0), Brendan Brosnan, Shane McElligott (0-1), Ricky Heffernan, Brian McAuliffe, Shane Conway (0-13, 8f), Mike Conway (0-1), Colin Sheehy (0-1) Subs: John Buckley for C Sheehy, 50, Jeremy McKenna for S McElligott, 58, Raymond Galvin for J Griffin, 59, Jonathan Silles for D Shanahan (inj), 64

UCC coped without their U21 stars but will need all hands on deck as Sars rematch looms
Mark Woods
BEFORE the usual suspects start to bemoan UCC’s presence in the county senior hurling championship quarter-final they should read the fine print first.
Facts are College fully deserved their 0-23 to 2-16 win over Erin’s Own at the weekend with a team, which had seven Cork players, four from Waterford, three from Kerry and a lone Tipperary representative.
The listed team had 11 from Cork, but injuries to most of their county contingent, Mark Coleman, Darragh Fitzgibbon, Sean O’Donoghue and David Griffin, meant a reshuffle.
UCC didn’t make any substitutions during a typically hard-fought game and while critics will decry the loss of a club team from the championship, others should note how the 15 players applied themselves.
College had the required desire and it stemmed as much from the outside players as it did from those with Cork clubs.
Shane Conway from Lixnaw is small and slight, but he worked himself to a standstill, top-scoring with 0-10, half from play, while Colm Roche from Shamrocks in Waterford followed suit. As they all did.
Coach Tom Kenny was thrilled with the players’ attitude. “We didn’t just simply show up, put on the jersey and get the game out of the way. We weren’t going through the motions.
“The lads put in their best effort possible and we won by a point. We’re delighted with that.
“We just said to the lads that they had to fight for every ball, give everything and if they did that we knew we had a great chance coming down the stretch.
“We expected Erin’s Own to be rusty, which was understandable given the way the championship is structured, and we reckoned we had a great chance if we were still in the game in the middle of the second-half,” he said.
The critical spell came in a 10-minute burst when College hit six points without response to help them lead 0-13 to 1-7 at the break.
And the students continued to find the range on the resumption with Neil Montgomery, Charlie Terry and Andrew Casey impressing.
“Everyone knows with UCC you could have a fortune of players or the bare 15 or 20.
“That’s what we had on this occasion, but all our players are good hurlers, who are playing for top teams and top clubs.
“Erin’s Own hadn’t played a championship since last March or April time, like a lot of clubs in Cork, and neither had we.
“But we knew our fellows were up to speed because they had been playing championship with their clubs. They were certainly up to the pace of the game.
“Thankfully, we pushed home though we were a bit lucky near the end, when Erin’s Own could have got a point to level the game.”
A late Eoghan Murphy goal from a free made it an anxious finale for the students.
Now it’s a repeat of last year’s Sarsfields’ clash.
“We let it slip against them in the drawn game and they beat us in the replay,” Kenny concluded.

Kerry camogie - an underdog story
Saturday, September 08, 2018 - 06:00 AM
By Cliona Foley
Jackie Horgan jokes that she has ‘turned’ her family by now.
Truth is, the third-year PE student who is captaining Kerry to camogie history tomorrow, was a relatively recent convert to the small ball herself but is now a converted zealout.
“My house would be a big football house alright, but I’ve turned them to camogie,” she grins.
“I played football until I was about 16. Then one of my good friends, Aoife Behan, who was only U14 at the time, brought me back training with her one night and I just loved it straight away.”
Football may be king in the Kingdom but, in that staunch hurling enclave of North Kerry, camogie has taken root in the past decade and thrived against all the odds.
A Division Four title in 2015, when they also contested an All-Ireland Junior A final, and a Division Three title this year have all been part of the arc that now finds them on the cusp of history.
Tomorrow’s All-Ireland premier junior final against last year’s beaten finalists Dublin is the first time a Kerry camogie team has played in Croke Park.
The county only has one senior club (and only two minor) with 27 players so Clanmaurice also doubles up as the county team.
That means they have no local league or championship to play in.
Throw in their geography, and a spate of recent injuries, and their achievement becomes even more remarkable.
“We’re like a little family really and we just get on about it. We enjoy it, it’s fun,” Horgan enthuses.
“Clanmaurice used to play in Limerick but when we won the junior title we didn’t go senior because we wouldn’t be able for it. So now we just train and play with the county and play in Munster with the club.
“There’s eight men’s hurling clubs in North Kerry and we’re from all of those but play as ‘Clanmaurice’. Like I’m from Crotta whereas other players are from Lixnaw, Abbeydorney, Ballyheigue, and others,” Horgan explains.
Clanmaurice were good enough to contest the All-Ireland junior club final last year which they lost to Kimessan (Meath) in a replay. But many of this club/county team have garnered huge experience and impressive reputations in the ultra-competitive world of third-level camogie.
Before she graduated from the University of Limerick, Patrice Diggins memorably won Player of the Match in the 2016 Ashbourne Cup final.
Niamh Leen and Horgan are still figuring prominently for UL where Horgan shares a house brimming with inter-county stars like Waterford’s Beth Carton and Tipp’s Grace O’Brien. Kerry’s players may not have the same profile but they all happily make the long trek home for training on Wednesdays and Fridays, in Causeway or Kilmoyley.
“The hardest thing is the location,” says their coach Gary O’Brien, whom Horgan credits, along with team manager Stephen Goggin, for their progress.
“If you’re playing a challenge game anywhere, it’s a minimum one hour’s drive from where we are in North Kerry,” O’Brien notes.
“But you get used to it and the players are so committed. They’re there every night and make it very easy to work with them.”
This summer they topped their group on goal difference and beat Roscommon well in the semis, a re-match of their Division Three final. They have also racked up an impressive 5-50 in four games despite an unlucky run of injuries. Goalkeeper Alanna Maunsell broke her hand, corner-backs Liz Houlihan and Michelle Costello broke their thumbs and Brid Horan fractured her foot in training.
But you get the impression they’d all happily play in plaster-casts tomorrow for this unprecedented and unique Kerry/Dublin All-Ireland.
Horgan says: “I came to Croke Park when I was eight or nine to watch an All-Ireland and thought it was unreal.
“If anyone ever asked me what my dream was, it was to play in Croke Park and now we’re going to be playing there in an All-Ireland final. It’s a dream come true!”

The camogie team gave a fine account of themselves. There is a vibrant camogie scene in Dublin.
The ref was shocking towards the end of the senior game. KK have every right to be raging with him.

big win for Kenmare\Kilgarvan in the under 21 hurling qf today. scored 3-22
big contenders for this title, well anchored at the back by John Mark Foley and Donal O'Sullivan is a super hurler upfront, the team is well balanced throughout . Crotta be favourites for it but Causeway are strong too and Lixnaw have Shane Conway. It will be an interesting championship.
Kenmare\Kilgarvan didn't field in the minor hurling cmhampionship which was a shame and took from the integrity of the competition as they were contenders to win it having won the under 16 in 2015 and 2016
They had a few players with the Kerry minor footballers and had to play minor club football championship , minor club hurling championship and Kilgarvan had the intermediate final in hurling all in the same week, never fielded in the minor hurling. pity

‘UCC are a bit of a club as well’
John Horgan UCC put forward a strong case for inclusion among the leading contenders for the Cork County SHC after taking care of the challenge of a very fancied Sarsfields team in the quarter-final last Sunday.
They now find themselves pitted against Imokilly in the last four and in that game team manager Martin “Gacchie” Walsh will be up against his own division of Imokilly.
He was delighted with the victory.
“It was a good win. We were very strong in the second-half. To be fair, we had strong personalities to bring on too, Mark Coleman was sick all the week and we just didn’t want to start him, Michael Breen had been injured and then we had Paddy O’Loughlin who was with Limerick this year.
“They are three big subs to be bringing on. We had a lot of the gang back as well who were not there the last day, Sean O’Donoghue, Darragh Fitz. We are good and strong and we are delighted for the college to be in a semi-final now.”
With UCC there is always another challenge, getting players together who have club commitments and who might even have had a game the day before or the morning of a game.
“To be fair and I give great credit to everyone, the personnel involved, their clubs. Shane Conway played yesterday in the Kerry championship, there were fellows who had league games earlier, they have to play with their clubs.
“But there is great commitment there, great commitment to the cause and I know there are different feelings on the college and all that and that’s bound to hurt them and I understand all that too. I know everything starts in the club and finishes in the club but we are a bit of a club too.
“The Kearneys, the Sullivans from Sars, they give fantastic commitment to the club and again today but they were great players too for UCC.
“We appreciate that. They had their day last year, we got ours today.”
And they are enjoying the journey they are now on.
“We are definitely enjoying where we are now, the main thing with college is to try and get the Fitzgibbon going and when the Freshers come in, get them going too. The big thing is trying to keep them hurling when they are in college, they might lose their way if they are not doing this.
“They will get the experience of playing now in a county semi-final. Take Charlie Terry there, he’s playing senior with UCC, would he get on the Imokilly team?
“We have a fellow, Kevin Moynihan from Russell Rovers, he’s training with us, he’s enjoying the outing.
“We had Shane Conway out there today. If I was Cork I’d be trying to get him a job in Cork and get him involved with the county.
“There’s a lot of Imokilly players in the next match who came through the ranks with us. I was involved with them for a while, I’d be a staunch Imokilly man and at the end of the day we are all hurling men.
“But for the hour you must back the horse that you are on and we want to provide stuff for Cork as well.’’

another super under 21 hurling semi final at the wknd Lixnaw v Causeway was very good the week before with Lixnaw winning, on Sunday it was the turn of Crotta O'Neills v Kenmare\Kilgarvan
finished 3-16 to 2-18 and Kenmare\Kilgarvan were really in hard luck not to snatch a draw. For long stages it was a shoot out between 2 former all Ireland football minor winning team mates - Barry O'Mahony and Donal O'Sullivan , 2 impressive stickmen, free takers with pace. They scored 25pts between them! Tomas Connor had a great dual with O'Sullivan. Kilgarvan youngster Daniel Casey corner forward got the eye with 1-3 and Michael Lenihan Dr Crokes one of 3 crokes players with Kenmare Kilgarvan looks a good prospect. Liam Twomey and Dan McCarthy were good in the backs. There is really some fine hurlers in the 17 to 21 age bracket in South Kerry
Crotta just about held on and there seems to be mighty enthusiasm for hurling out Crotta\Kilflynn way now. They had 35 players named in the programme!!! The final against Lixnaw promises to be a cracker and should draw a massive crowd

Good win by Crotta in the U21 final last weekend. Looking good for them going forward with 2 minor titles. A few years ago it looked as if they would challenge for the senior title but fell away. Would be great to see them back again.

well said Mitchels
great win for Lixnaw especially when you consider they had injury problems
expect a massive crowd in Lixnaw next weekend when the Cork champions visit. good crowd today but obviously the football in Tralee took from it
That will be a bigger test again for Lixnaw but they will quietly fancy their chances
This is a great competition for Kerry hurling clubs, I think it was in Sean Kelly's time as president these competitions were put in place.

Cashel has a population of about 5000 and hurling is the game in it so this is a great victory for Lixnaw.
Cashel was the home club of the three Bonners from the Tipp team that won the all irelands in Nicky Englishs time.
Justin McCarthy wrote a great book about his time coaching hurling and the part about his time with Cashel was particularly memorable.
Best wishes to Lixnaw next weekend. Ballyduff were not far off last year against the Cork champs and they went on to win the intermediate all ireland.

Kilgarvan gave a good account of themselves yesterday, were well i it at half time. Lask of game time probably went against them in the end.
It's something that will need to be looked at that if county finals are being played so far before Munster that games will have to be in place inbetween

Indeed Kilgarvan did well. They would have done even better if they had more competitive games in Kerry over the course of the year. Donal O'Sullivan very good yet again. He is some talent in both codes. Hope John Mark Foley injury is not too bad. Another fine performer. Some good young talent in Kilgarvan
Question is will South Kerry have a senior team in the championship next year, put a half dozen from Kenmare and another from Dr Crokes in with this Kilgarvan team and you have a decent senior team\panel
Big crowd in Tournafulla Saturday actually

Served them very well before. IMO Kilgarvan and Kenmare should enter as South Kerry anyway and still play in the Intermediate on thei own. Kilgarvan should defiantly be looking at going it alone in the next few years. Have a good young team and a year of two at a higher level would do them the world of good

A few years ago a Carlow hurling club got to Croke Park on St Patricks Day. Kilmurry Ibrackane got to the senior football final.
Last year the Wicklow champions beat the Dublin champions in football.
Drom/Broadford have won Munster Senior Football championships. I think The Nire have too.
Why do Kerry hurling clubs compete at the level they do?

MLR had won the All-Ireland Intermediate championship a few years before, and like the Kerry champions they would have been the Carlow senior champions. Club championships, until recently, tended to have clubs from ''weaker counties'' competing. Five of the Lenster championships for example in the 90's were won by Eire Og from Carlow, with Baltinglass in 89 and O'Hanrahans in 2000 and Rathnew in 2001.

I see Dr Crokes are playing in the Duhallow hurling league at adult level this year.
A good move by them. Get plenty of matches there. A lack of matches has really stunted their development in recent seasons
Some good young hurlers in their ranks who need games to develop. Michel Horgan, Mike & Jack Lenehan, Aaron Murphy, Shane Lyne, Chris Doncel all players who came through the Crokes\south Kerry underage teams and well able to play

The lack of games is the issue, added with the fact that the games they are playing are against the same teams over and over again. IMO the North Kerry clubs should be looking at playing in West Limerick, or at least try it anyway
