Ogie also won an All Ireland minor hurling medal. Was he the youngest to win a county senior championship medal at 16 years 9 months as a starter? Not sure if it was minor but I think it was a "B" All Ireland with the senior team. He's also another dual player to add to the list. I think he won a hurling championship with Ballyduff |

Another son Brian may have won junior medal. Con Brosnan and son , Dr Jim but not Dr. Mick Joe Barret’s son, Joe Joe won a medal in 1962. Dan Kavanagh’s son Donal played in 1972 , beaten by Offaly . I don’t think he has a medal . Con Geaney and son, Dr. Dave have medals. John Dowling and grandson BJK and son in law, Jimmy Has Derry Crowley definitely got a medal ? |

Cheers Veteran. Never knew Jackie Power hurled for Kerry. I looked it up there, 1953. One of the unfortunate things I find is that it's hard to find out too much about Kerry's hurling history, whereas there are numerous sources (including this forum) for football. I have the history of Ballyduff GAA and Tommy O'Connors History of North Kerry Hurling, great books, but that's about it.

These two Kerry brothers have four minor football All-Ireland medals between them . Not sure if this is a unique distinction but it must be very rare in any case.

Seanie and Bruddy Burrows of John Mitchels. Apparently they were brilliant all round sportsmen, Weeshie Fogarty mentioned them often.

I sense a bit of a cloudburst here - there could be dozens, maybe hundreds, of Kerrymen who won national medals with other counties, and I am not referring to ones born outside Kerry. Still Paidí came forth in London, well Middlesex actually, and Henry Shefflin was born in Lancashire/Manchester. Jack Kissane won an AI medal with Galway so obviously won Connaught. Ballydonoghgue's Billy Fiztgerald played Junior with Limerick, may have won silver - I knew Billy very well but only learned that in recent years. Like Jack Kissane was an army man, in the day when you didn't drive home from your positing every weekend. It was only recently you could work in a local bank - there might be a lot of teachers, Guards - ah now they'd never play under a different name, sure you'd spot the head of an auld Guard a mile off! Then you'd have Denny Long, Larry Tomkins, etc. And there was a Kerryman here in Donegal who's name escapes me but he is highly spoken of, a guard I think! Since scribing the above I just remembered that a Tadhg Garvey of West Kerry extraction and who married 'into' Ballydonoghue, played in county finals in 4 different counties - Kerry, Cavan, Dublin and Wexford. Bitter sweet in a way but his late wife Nancy Linnane and of no mean GAA pedigree herself, was his vice-principal in an all North Kerry múinteoir primary school in Wexford - imagine! If today was yesterday such privilege would probably be deemed unfair competition to other educational establishments, but sure sin scéal eile. Tadhg also banned the bata long before the authorities and I believe he was also a great musician, he'd take to the road at then drop a hat, literally! |

Bruddy's given name was Henry, as far as I know. I think he was even listed on official programmes as 'Bruddy'.

Henry was CHB and Sean was corner back on both occasions. 1962 and 1963. I think Sean was a minor again in 1964 but Kerry did not win that year. Henry more or less or less concentrated on basketball thereafter. Sean played a couple of years with the seniors without winning a senior medal, being on the losing side in the 1968 final against Down. Kerry won the u21 final in 1964 and one or both may have been on that team. I imagine they have county championship medals with John Mitchells. |

Pj McIntyre (Kenmare) played dual for Kerry as did Noel Power (Austin Stacks). Noel Power played league football not sure championship. McIntyre was an Offaly man and Power was from Waterford. Actually how many non Kerry players played for Kerry. Probably alot in hurling in particular. Now I don't know the answer but I know a few. Obviously McIntyre and Power and in hurling Willie Dwyer (Kilkenny) VInny Murphy (Dublin) and I think Liam Walsh (Dublin) played hurling for Kerry too. Since the Christy Ring started Kerry have had a lot of outside players with different levels of success. Pa Kelly from Clare was a very big success to the point he was willing to transfer clubs to keep playing with Kerry. Brendan Rochford from Cork was another who was a big success as was Willie Dwyer. I think at the start they could only play one season with a Christy Ring team. James O Brien who had been the Limerick captain played one year and was quite good from what I remember. There was an Evan Sweeney from Tipp who played one season he'd played in a Munster final I think. I also think there was a fella from Galway as well at one point. There was quite a few others from Cork and Clare from what I recall. There was a few Tipp lads when Kelly was in charge with different levels of success to put it mildly. Butler was decent enough. But then there was the keeper who just turned up when he felt like it and then got the hump and left the panel. Before that the likes of Eddie Murphy and Daithí O'Regan played in the past. |

Jerome won his medals in 1955 and 1959. Back in the early sixties RTÉ, in its infancy then, had a weekly GAA programme which went on for about fifteen minutes. Jerome was the presenter. I think the Sheehy family was related to the Spring family through marriage. Niall married to a daughter of Dan Spring? |

Kerry made just one but a strange substitution in the 1967 defeat to Cork. Who were the players involved and what were the circumstances?

Kerry made just one but a strange substitution in the 1967 defeat to Cork. Who were the players involved and what were the circumstances? I remember little enough about that match. I do remember Eamon O’Donoghue was selected in goals. Towards the end of the match with Kerry one point down Kerry were awarded a free to level it but unfortunately Eamon missed it. Now I can’t remember if he came out to take the free or if he had been switched out earlier to the forward line with a sub goalie coming in? |

The sub keeper came in and Eamonn went up to the forwards. I can't remember the sub keeper's name (I have Kerins in my head?) but he was then ineligible for the Kerry juniors, who went on to win the All Ireland.

On oval rabbit matters, is there any scientific reason for the astounding freak number of Irish Internationals hailing from Currow - Moss Keane, brothers Mick and Tom Doyle, Mick Galwey and now JJ Hanrahan - how come they are all such big strong hoors in this neck of the woods? And who knows of 'Currow corner' - has JJ franked his form? BTW Currow's Siobhán Fleming is the only one to have a Grand Slam and the story only gets better with Con Houlihan footing the big egg in his bare feet. |

He was the only non Galway man on the team. In 1977, he was a County Championship winner in hurling and football on the same afternoon with two different clubs. Played in both games too. |

In what year was the throw in first contested between the four midfielders? It looked total chaos up to then with all players involved.
