Two sets of brothers were sent off playing for Kerry in the senior football championship. The surname was more or less the same on both occasions. Darragh and Marc ó Sé munster final 08 and Derry and Thorny Shea (not sure what year but will guess 60s Spot on Mick. 1965 against Galway was the year Thorny and Derry were sent off. Thorny and Derry of course were members of that supreme John Mitchells side who were invincible for several years. |

Hermit, I have it in my mind that Kerry won an All Ireland in about 1939 wearing the Dingle club Jersey. So red and white. I'm sure that Dingle got them in Cork and they were in fact Cork County Jerseys! There was an article in the examiner about this a few years back. If so it's another great trivia question. Kerry winning with the Cork Jersey Correct! I'll be very impressed if anyone gets the fourth one - its technically correct but most people would not have know that match was actually for the All Ireland!
Froncach...1916 |

That was only a prisoners game Mick! It wasn't actually an All Ireland despite what they called it themselves.

Wexford won the 1916 All Ireland beating Mayo in their first appearance in the decider in a game played in sub-zero temperatures just before Christmas!

Kerry Senior footballers was the question. I have seen photos of the first football winning team in 1903. Black and white photo so no idea if green and gold was worn. When did Kerry adopt the green jersey with the gold hoop i wonder |

When did Kerry adopt the green jersey with the gold hoop i wonder I’d love to go one further and discover why clubs adopted their chosen colours, why are the Narries blue/white, Crokes and the Rockies black and amber, Dingle red and white etc. I always felt there was a good book in it. |

Dingle GAA are red and white as they got old Cork jerseys. There was an article from the Examiner on it www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid-30946607.htmlKerry's Green and Gold comes from Kilrossanty, Co. Waterford. The Kerry team turned up to a tournament in Dungarvan back in 1903 (i think) without jerseys and borrowed them from a local club. Apparently it had a great effect that Kerry kept the colours. The 1903 final was played in 1905 so I expect it was the green and gold |

Yes Mick That's the two sets of Connors The Spillane the Lowrys so one more set of cousins and two more sets of brothers How could the Darby brothers be forgotten? One fouled John Egan for the penalty, the other became a great friend of Tommy Doyle years later. Both came on as subs. I think both Fitzgeralds were also brothers, maybe cousins |

New York V Kerry home final in 1970? Draw at 8 pts (I think) each with Micko scoring the equalizer from a long range free at the death. Played extra time with Kerry winning. Heard it on the wireless, had assumed Kerry wore the green and gold |

Johnny, Bernie, Mikey & Davy Keane, Kerins O’Rahillys all played minor football with Kerry. Must be some kind of record, 4 brothers playing minor. Would the Boyles from Ballyduff have a similar claim in recent times? Not sure if they are all brothers but Liam, Mikey and Padraig all played minor if I am not mistaken? Yes KerrryeastcoastUSA, all brothers and you can add Kenneth, the eldest and obviously the first Kerry minor of the four. Mikey’s son expected to carry on the tradition this year. An amazing family, hurling, football, soccer and a bit of boxing. One of the best Kerry hurlers ever is their uncle, what is his name? |

This Kerry footballer won an All-Ireland minor medal in 1962. He was subsequently added to the substitutes list for the senior final . Kerry won that senior final as well but I am not sure if this man got a senior medal that day. He did win his senior medal later on. Seamus McGearailt? |

Thorny and Derry of course were members of that supreme John Mitchells side who were invincible for several years. Did Thorny stick his finger in ref's eye? BTW 'Thorny' used to deliver ice cream to our shop when I was a garsún, he was a real character - I met him in later years and the crack was mighty, he was telling me stories about all the shops in his round, like being haunted by a loveable ghost, always thought it was his real name - was it John? May they all RIP. |

Just rings a bell but I have no detail whatsoever. |
