Kilmoyley beat Causeway in the 2021 North Kerry final last night. Daniel Collins scored 2-17 for Kilmoyley. Kilmoyley and Causeway have claimed the last 4 county senior titles between them and have won the most of the north kerry senior titles too I see neither can field an under 21 side though in 2022 so maybe trend will change soon |

With such a big gap before Munster for both the senior and intermediate champions the North and South Kerry championships are a good opportunity for them to get a bit of match practice in. Otherwise teams will just be training and that's not going to do anything for them in Munster. Kilmoyley made light of the long break in 2021 and won kerry first munster title the nk and sk competitions are good at this time of the year, keeps the hurling season going. I see Parnells 2nd team won the sk junior title beating Kenmare Kenmare 2nd team as well I take it? great if it is, they were tight for one team in recent times Was it as long a break? Either way it's a good thing for as many games as possible to be played at this stage of the year. Kenmare seem to have good numbers hurling at the moment. Considering they're playing senior football as well it's good to see. Not sure if there's a big cross over of players or not. |

A decent showing by Crokes against Crotta in the North Kerry Championship 1-19 to 2-14. Crokes have had some positive results of late which will hopefully give confidence going into next season, teams will become wary of playing them.
I see Parnells gave a walk over to Causeway in the NKHC. Disappointing.
I think that is Kenmares 1st team, I don't believe they entered into Intermediate this year but I may be wrong.

Crokes are holding their own senior just about, brave call to go up senior and justified. Have a lot of players native of other counties but some good native Killarney men as well. numbers are not huge underage but are bringing a few through Kenmare played intermediate championship this year so have two teams |

Good win for St Pats east kerry in the junior championship v Causeway 3rd team
granted Causeway may not be that strong but great fillip for Pats nonetheless
They have been struggling to keep fielding with Dr Crokes playing senior now and also having a junior team, Rathmore breaking away and going on their own ( great to see after years of hard work at underage). It really has left them with slim pickings so great to see them still present.

I am very sorry to hear of the death of Brendan Hennessy. Unlike his brother Michael, I have no clear memory of him playing because as far as I know he played most of his hurling in New York. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times a few years ago when he retired home to Ballyduff with his wife. Sadly, his wife died and perhaps he returned to New York to rejoin his family, as apparently he died there.
Brendan went to St. Flannans boarding school in Ennis which attracted a host of top drawer hurlers from all over Munster. Some years back the college selected a team of their best ever hurlers and Brendan made the selection. That was a singular honour for a Kerry hurler.
Back in the fifties and sixties the NFL winners played New York and in the late fifties New York beat Wexford, a hurling powerhouse in the fifties, in one of those finals. Back then The Irish Independent used to nominate their sport star of the week on a Friday, open to all sports, and the joint nominees that week were Michael and Brendan Hennessy who formed the midfield partnership for New York. In those carefree days, one of our hobbies at primary school was collecting photographs of GAA players that were published in the National papers. Needless to say, images of the Kerry footballers were prized above all else and if you were lucky enough to have more than one of a particular player you would exchange it for somebody else. It led to a lively and, often, acrimonious exchange market. Photographs of Kerry hurlers were as scarce hens' teeth and therefore whoever had possession that iconic photograph of the Hennessy boys was in possession of gold dust and could simply name his price, perhaps might get photos of three Kerry footballers in exchange. Bear in mind that few rural households got a daily paper back then, hence the market value of those GAA photos. Idyllic, innocent days indeed.
Rest in peace, Brendan.

Paul Geaney and Daragh O'Sullivan played minor and under 21 with Kilmoyley, both have under21 b hurling all irelands with kerry as well. was some really fine hurlers in Dingle. no under age at all now for 10 years or so now which is a pity, the odd few play with Parnells |

I am not sure how much longer Duagh can hang in there, no under age teams in recent times Rathmore and Firies are very active underage which is great to see, Rathmore with a minor team last two years is a great indicator of how they have pushed on |

Rest in peace, Brendan. by all accounts he was a serious stickman, had a few county senior hurling championship medals in his pocket when he left these shores as a young adult. was a huge loss to kerry hurling, was a hurling super star in New York and played football in New York too |

Doesn't the rule say the nearest team/club and at senior level wouldn't that be Ardfert - St Brendans? They would pass through Ardfert on their way to Kilmoyley. |

kerry exile
a bunch of Dingle lads like Paul Geaney kerry footballer fell in with Kilmoyley age 15 or so and it started there, not sure of the connection
Kilmoyley is part of the greater Ardfert parish so is technically a club in Ardfert parish so may be a technicality within that allows it

If you're club only play football you can't play hurling with a club who play both. |

A few Junior championship games last night.
Daugh beat Ballyheigue. Don't know what sort of team Ballyheigue had but still a good result for Daugh.
Crokes won well against St. Pats also.

Those Dingle lads mentioned have strong link to Kilmoyley anyway, seem to enjoy the hurling the lads mentioned shame hurling didnt kick on in dingle, they could have got to having an adult team but I suppose the overlap with football was too much. |

Ballyheigue, Causeway and St Brendans all field third teams in this championship, great to see clubs in North Kerry able to field 3 teams.Only St Brendans remain Hard to call who will win it. Rathmore have Luke Crowley, a player well better than this level, Crokes 2nd team be decent if they can mobilise everyone, st brendans possibly slight favourites to win it out |

As far as I know Maurice Murnane from Kilmoyley has set up a player pathway for any young lads in Dingle who want to play hurling. Kilmoyley would have small numbers anyway so having a few Dingle hurlers benefits them and allows the Dingle lads to play hurling during the split season. I see Gizzy Lyng the former Wexford hurler lined out for the Tralee Parnells junior team v Ardfert in JHC today. |

I understand the football fraternity in Dingle looked to Fr Ted for inspiration. If you are a dual club you will end up uncompetitive in both codes in the long run. |

Wexford are middling in both codes as nearly every club player plays both codes. |

[/quote] Causeway are not on top though, they have won 2 x club championships in the last 24 years, a very poor return for a club who do not play any football. Nearly all of the Lixnaw & Ballyduff players play club football aswel and they have both won 5 x SHC titles in the same timeframe as Causeway. I agree with Kilmoyley though, they really get the best out of their hurlers by getting top-class outside coaches/managers with no football distraction. Great primary school aswel in Kilmoyley. |

Lixnaw and Finuge are not at the level they were at in both codes a few years ago. It cant be done in the long run which is my basic point.
How serious do Ballyduff take football. Maybe i am wrong but i have the impression that it is only taken seriously in winter at NK championship time when the hurling is over.
Ardfert are trying to keep both codes going and are not great at either now.
