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. Dennis O’Sullivan? Good guess Aodhan but it was Seamus McGearailt. Was in goals for that minor final and won a senior medal at corner back in 1969. Denis won minor medals in 1962 and 1963 and U21 in 1964 but unfortunately did not win a senior medal. May have won a junior medal also. |

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, w hat is his name? Pat Moriarity of Causeway |

I dont know the answer but didnt some player who was in a seminary sneak out and play in a final under a false name. I think it might have been a Kerry player.

Eamon Fitzgerald represented Ireland in the LA Olympics in 1932 in the long jump. He actually badly injured his ankle training just before it started but still came fourth and it was just his misfortune the standard in that particular Olympics was so high, because the length of his jump would have achieved gold in almost every one of the previous Olympiad!
Mundy Prendeville jumped over the seminary wall to line out for Kerry for the 1924 All Ireland and he later become Bishop of Perth.

Donnie O’Sullivan had played in the 1962 championship but missed the final because he had gone back to the seminary. I wonder did he get a medal that year? |

As regards the minor achievements of the Keane lads, I think five members of the Kennelly family from Ballylongford played minor football for Kerry: Colm, Brendan, Alan , John, Paddy. Brendan being the poet of course.

I was expecting a much more folksy answer. Charlie Nelligan was the player I had in mind. Charlie went to college in Dublin in the late 70's and played soccer in the LOI with Home Farm. At that time the LOI was semi-professional but Home Farm was an exception and was an amateur club. At that time also the Olympics were 100% amateur. The OCI announced a squad to go into the qualifiers for the 1980 Olympics and Charlie was picked in goals. If I remember correctly Charlie withdrew from that squad and anyway the team never took part due to lack of funds. |

Michael and Brendan Hennessy. Could you expand on that answer....what year have you in mins etc...in the 60s i expect.....thanks If I am right , it would be the early sixties while playing for New York , against Wexford I think. In those days the Irish Independent used to have a sports star of the week every Friday and the two brothers were jointly awarded the accolade on that occasion. Those Hennessy lads knew how to hurl! Brendan went to St. Flannans and some years ago the college picked their all time great team. Needless to say, it was a team of stars and Brendan was one of them. Brendan spent most of his working life in New York and therefore most of his hurling life there as well. As far as I know , he is living out his retirement in Ballyduff. The savage loves his native shore etc. Therefore he would have played little enough hurling with Kerry whereas Michael would have played most of his hurling with Kerry . Michael was a marvelous half back and, like all the Hennessys , had a bit of the devil in him! |

Michael and Brendan Hennessy. Veteran is correct. I believe the two brothers played midfield for New York v Wexford when Wexford were a top team. I think in the 60s I see. The 'away final' i presume |

Its actually a joke question. The answer is Foster and Allen. They played music midfield during half time at an all ireland final years ago😊 There is a man who played in the 1949, 53, 54, and 56 finals. |

This man won a minor medal with Kerry and subsequently played rugby for Ireland. It’s not Dick or Donal Spring, or Moss Keane or Mick Galway.

Aodhan , you are not allowed to compete anymore! It was Tommy, brother of Mick whom Kerryexile suggested. It was 1962 or 1963 he won the minor medal. Interestingly, both of the Doyles played in the backrow. Their careers overlapped to an extent but I am not sure if they played for Ireland on the same day. The Doyles came from Currow and the family had a hatchery business in Castleisland. They learned their rugby in Newbridge College. As Kerryexile said, Mick subsequently managed Ireland. Mick died a fairly young man. I presume Tommy is still alive. |
