We're surely mature enough now as a hurling county to go home grown and see what happens Ian Brick would be my picks if we're to go down that road. As I've said it'll likely be Hennessy. Mark Foley is also in the mix. A great appointment would be either Darren Gleeson or Colm Bonnor but can't see the CB going with either of them. |

According to the Kerrymam former Cork camogie manager Paidie Murray is a strong contender for the job but theythink tweek is the front runner.

Congratulations to John Griffin on being appointed Kerry hurling manager. Nice to see a Kerryman at the helm for a change rather than some have hurley will travel merchant. At the very least we can be assured that the betterment of Kerry hurling will be his passion rather than auditioning for a more glamorous portfolio in the future.
Good luck to you, John.

You sometimes forget that he was a very good footballer as well. Would have won a lot with Finuge over the years. I'm not sure was he on the Feale Rangers panel in 07? |

I'd say he was but not 100% sure. He was a great man marker. All that finuge team were unbelievable footballers. He played alot of his football with his head if that makes sense. He probably would be laughed at these days with all the "athletes" around and s&c |

Yeah I am well aware of that one from first hand experience, he was captain and one of best defenders, the hurling took over soon after and when there was no hurling finuge reaped his benefit. |

He wasnt on the Feale Rangers panel in 2007 Eamonn Fitzmaurice, Enda Galvin, Paul Galvin, Maurice Corridan and Pat Corridan were the men that won senior hurling and football championship medals that year with Lixnaw and Feale |

www.rte.ie/sport/hurling/2024/0918/1470697-burns-targets-spread-of-hurling-challengers-by-2034/So the GAA are to appoint a 'National Head of Hurling' with a plan to expand (by how many is not stated) the number of counties competing for the Liam McCarthy by 2034. This is part of Burns' key objective for his term as GAA President 'to grow hurling outside of its traditional heartlands'. While I'm all for the sentiment behind something like this you can't help be cynical given the long history of failure (on all sides) in making hurling a sport that has a proper competitive structure in the four provinces feeding into the Liam McCarthy. I seem to remember reading that as far back as the GAA's Jubilee Congress in 1934 the then GAA president, looking over the first 50 years of the Association, lamenting the fact that hurling had stagnated outside of the traditional dozen hurling counties. Is that going to have really changed by the time we get to those remarks centenary. Maybe if the GAA was willing to put into something like this the same amount of money they poured into Dublin footballers coffers. But somehow I doubt it, far more money to be made for Croker facilitating Dublin football winning All Irelands than having Kerry reaching a Munster final in Thurles!

The Muskerry region of Cork was always a provider of Cork senior footballers throughout time, Naomh Aban, Macroom, Cill na Martra etc
A hurling club started up there a bit ago and has taken off big time, Laochra Óg. Mighty stuff on the face of it.
Are there children now playing hurling here who would otherwise aspire to be Cork footballers. Great in one hand that hurling is growing here, but is there a negative impact towards Cork football, and would similar happen in other counties. Counties who as it stands are struggling to keep with the better counties.
Could we eventually see football being the new hurling!!! With only a handful of counties playing at a high level!!

Croke park couldnt give a hoot about promoting hurling outside the big powers The most positive thing in modern times to happen hurling was the Christy Ring etc brought in by Sean Kelly from Kerry obviously. As soon as there was a president from a "hurling county" they couldn't downgrade them fast enough was they got the opportunity. The top tier teams couldn't care less about anything outside of their bubble. Although to be their Cork tend to accommodate Kerry where possible. This job should be given to someone from Kerry, Laois etc as someone from a "hurling county" will do absolutely nothing. |

am i right in saying theres been no hurling for over a month now and there will pretty much be no hurling for any clubs, for rest of year bar munster championship? local divisional championship? The North Kerry Hurling Board have had plenty of adult matches since the county championship ended in both senior and intermediate. Abbeydorney have 3 matches in North Kerry since the county final - a league final hanging over since earlier in the year and 2 matches in the NK championship with the final to come. The only disappointing aspect of the NK senior hurling championship is that St Brendans didnt field - makes no sense as they fielded 3 adult hurling teams all year with ease and the Ardfert footballers dont play in the final for several weeks plenty of matches in the NK intermediate championsip and the NK intermediate league( weather and pitches meant these the league didnt finish in March\April. A disappointing aspect here is Ladies Walk not fielding in some matches, again makes no sense as Ballyduff had over 40 players named on senior county championship programme with only 15 of them deemed ineligible for Ladies Walk. The carry of panels of 40 players named on senior panels in July and did not been able to muster 15 a month or two later for your 2nd team makes no sense The South Kerry Hurling Board dont seem to be at anything as far as I can see - no reason why Kilgarvan, Parnells and Crokes couldnt be playing a SK senior championship and the SK junior hurling championship which could generate matches for Rathmore , Crokes and Parnells 2nd team also doesnt seem to be happening. This needs to be addressed |

This needs to be addressed Someone made a point about that on Facebook recently. Made a good point how you can have 30 plus lads togged out for county championship where a lot will be nowhere near getting a game yet are nowhere to be seen fir North Kerry championship etc where they actually might get some game time. There's been very little played in South Kerry in recent times from what I remember. Crokes and Parnells played in the North Kerry championship recently enough. |

Would Kilkenny pick him if he was worth a place? Hard to see an outsider being welcomed on a county team by the hurling snobs. You can imagine the reaction if a footballer from Kilkenny was starring in Co. Championship in Kerry and was being touted for a call up to Kerry team. |

He will get a call up surely, playing very well by all accounts and a long run in the provincial/All Ireland club championships will do him no harm.
Even if he doesn't I don't see him putting on the Kerry jersey in 2025.

Theres no doubt Fionan would make theKilkenny team but as the lads said many in Kilkenny wouldnt want an outsider playing just like footballers in Kerry would not accept it . So id reckon he will stay with Kerry
