So i read Redmonds from Cork are to disband at the end of the year.
It's a long long long time since they were a force but they actually won an All-Ireland hurling title in the 1890's and have been around for almost as long as the GAA itself.
What im wondering have many Kerry clubs disbanded in recent history? Say 20/30 years? Do people think there are clubs who are at rick of it happening?

When Derrynane decided to team up with Sneem, was their club officially disbanded?

yeah Brick Rangers are gone ,
Clounmacon still field I think, I reckon Gale Rangers and Knockanure are gone
In hurling St Marys who were a hurling club in the Farrenfore, Milltown, Firies, Killorglin catchment folded in the early 2000s. St Pats east Kerry hurling have nearly gone a few times but are hanging in there and getting more vibrant at juvenile again

Terrace talk, listing players who lined out for Kerry and their respective clubs, mentions Camp, Caherdaniel, Ballyferriter and Ballybunion (as distinct from Beale). All these players were way back though - don't know when the clubs would have folded.
An tArm (an army team from Tarbert) and Craughdarrig are among the winners of the NK Championship, again back in the mists of time.

Were they not formed as way of getting All-Ireland tickets? Of is that just a myth? The fact St. Pats keep going is an achievement in itself. Good to seen them fielding at underage now. Stacks hurling will more than likely be gone after this year, no underage teams for years so was going to happen sooner or later.

As far as I know, they were knocking around for a couple of decades and had their own pitch for some of that time at least. Plus a team of course, they did actually compete. That's really as much as I know about them but it would all seem a bit too elaborate just to snare a couple of tickets.

A quick glance at their adulT football teams and you can see names that played juvenile hurling with Parnells. Also Stacks had a few players on the Parnells minor hurling team this year who had big numbers and were very competitive though it was noticeable Na Gaeil and Ballymacelligot had much bigger numbers Did Stacks ever do a hurling academy along their Saturday morning football? I know Dr Crokes in Killarney do 45 mins hurling as part of their Saturday mornings and it has helped bring players through to their intermediate hurling team

We seem to have a thread every year or so whereby we discuss the fact that brick rangers and gale rangers have disbanded. It’s getting tiresome

I just get worried about the short/medium term memories of some, thats all

It can be tough in a city environment to have a pitch close to your player base, if i recall correctly they used to play on a council pitch in ballyphehane years ago but the council put houses on it

In resent times there's been no admission to play outside of Junior, had to be made move up last year and sent straight back down first chance they could. Have also fallen out with Parnells as they were claiming they had a right to their players and Parnells have stopped their players from playing with them

Gale Rangers were certainly a legit club. Played at Junior and occasionally juvenile levels for a fair few years. They used a "pitch" on the Ballybunion-Listowel road with a telephone pole in the middle of it at one stage.
Clounmacon are a club with a great history behind them and they have a fine ground of their own. They play at Junior level.
Knockanure have served in recent times as the Moyvane B outfit (open to correction) and have their own pitch near the village of Knockanure. It had fallen into disrepair but they got a big grant last year to sort it out.
Lenamore near Ballylongford had their own team back on the '80's too but have gone for a few years.
Causeway fielded a football team as did Ballyheigue for short periods too but hardly will again. B'heigue still play football up to u14 level.
Ballinclogher "blood and bandages" we're once great rivals of Lixnaw but now play with them.
The county is full of clubs who died away and came back under a different name.
Amalgamations do not mean the end of clubs. Just a new arrangement.
It's dreadful to see clubs go as it also means the end of the community and with it history and memories.

I know this is prob not the place for this, but seeing as we are talking about old clubs, I saw Na Gaeil are 40 years old. Are they the youngest club in the senior divisions of the league ? Who are the other young clubs ?

St. Michaels/Foilmore i think are the same

St. Michaels/Foilmore i think are the same Cromane 1983 I understand. Could be. I know it was sometime in the 80's. I would think a lot of clubs wouldn't be as old as people would think, as a lot would have reformed etc. I think Dingle in it's current form only formed in the late 60's early 70's there was two clubs in the town at the time. I would think your own Annascaul would be the same as Camp had a team until the 60's i think. If you were to get technical about it Sneem Derrynane are probably the newest club as they only came together at all levels about 10 years ago

I think Ardfert in its present incarnation was only formed in late seventies.
