Indeed he did and it was against Tyrone I think Twas. I left Mullingar that day cockahoop but twas a bit of a false dawn. Maybe 1989. Tyrone filletted Kerry in Newbridge in the u21 final of the following year |

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 |

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.

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 Correct Mick |

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. |

Question? I do Not know the answer but can someone explain to me the Shannon Rangers/Feale Rangers club thing? I mean when I was a young lad I saw Patsy the Skin Ó Connell from Tarbert play with Feale rangers but now Tarbert play with Shannon Rangers. Why is this?

Anyone help me on why Tarbert moved from Feale rangers to Shannon Rangers? Musical chairs down the years but never got bitter, the rivers didn't move but the way the solicitors behave it could be that they altered the maps a bit - they have done worse. BTW are Beale and Ballylongford the only NK clubs that never played with Feale Rangers? Veteran, what age was Ogie in a Bally' Shannon Rangers jersey making his debut in Tralee of a day? Though only a babby I get that feeling of peace brought about nostalgia from toe to head, literally, the sun was high in every sense, neither Ned Barry nor my father, two cautious men, had and reservations - you'd sense they were as excited as the children and as I recall nobody was disappointed, a stellar performance but it is more my instinctive memory if ya with me! These days you have to be so old to get in places, then you had to be so young to get into the side-line! Jackie Walsh (Barry was later?), Brian McCarthy, Skinny O'Connell, Donie Mulvihill, Johnny Bunyan - ah the O'Donohues - if we are going back half a century here it puts Ogie at 16 and which is etched in my auld head, we had a few pints after so I stand corrected on detail, apart from the stellar performance! I wouldn't trade the memory for all the tea in China, even the porter was creamy and wance the boyeen in blue recognised me he waved us on, he knew I was able to handle her as we retreated Northwards, topping up in Browns in Ball'duff. Fond memories. Vet might fill us in on Ballydonoghoors with the 'Rangers - Bud Connor, Jerdie, Christy Enright, Sean Hilliard, Ger Brown - for all I know I saw photos lately of 'hoors I didn't even know played county, let alone 'Rangers. Ah maybe the good times will come back! BTW wasn't Bomber was a late developer? Ambrose too? Did Robert Bunyan play with County Minor hurlers? - he sure played big ball 'cause 'twas a collaboration between me and the butcher who saw to that - like Tadhgeen and Galvin, International haymakers, The Dá thaobh of Dá pairs of Dá-hoors! |
