The last player to play football and hurling for Kerry in the same year? (Hint: it was recent years) plenty have played dual at under 20\21 - Barry Mahony, Donal O'Sullivan, Paul Geaney, Barry Sullivan, many more did Eamon Fitzmaurice was midfield for a kerry under 21 hurling team that damn near beat a talented Waterford under 21 team in Tralee But if you are talking senior championship in the one year - Bernard McElligott Abbeydorney He was midfield for the footballers in the munster senior football championship and full forward for the hurlers in the munster senior hurling championship both in the same season mid 1990s |

Paul Galvin played senior hurling with Kerry very young. Enda Galvin might have played both but I'm not sure. Ronan O Connor from Ballyduff played senior hurling before oddly showing up on the football panel a few years later. Tom Collins is a famous example of it in the 50s. I don't think Paul Galvin played senior hurling for Kerry. Underage yes but not senior. Yeah, Paul played a small number of NHL matches for the senior hurlers maybe 2 or 3. Played a lot under age for Kerry was such a stylish hurler |

Niall Sheehy. I think Declan Lovett played minor football for Kerry and may have played the occasional senior game as well. Did Dick Spring play both games for Kerry? Paudie Finnegan from Kenmare? One of my earliest memories of football, when I was in early years of primary school, was of Declan Lovett playing senior football at corner back (I think) against Longford in an AISF, maybe '67 or '68. E&OE. Declan Lovett, Kilmoyley has all ireland minor and under 21 football medals at corner back and played a small amount of senior championship in 1967 or 1968. He also has an all ireland junior football medal. Was talented in both codes and also a very good golfer. Was truly a gifted hurler, the old stock would tell you His older brother Sean also played dual with Kerry actually |

Yes I remember hearing about Niall Sheehy alright Niall Sheehy and Johnny Culloty were dual senior inter county players for a long period of time. Dick Spring played both codes for Kerry, maybe a season for the hurlers and a league match or two for the footballers but not over a prolonged period |

Christy Wash played both but not senior football. Daniel Collins in recent times played minor football. |

Kilmoyley had an adult football team in the 1950s , not since though Good few decent footballers came out of Kilmoyley as you say - Tom Collins, John Collins, the Lovetts, Daniel Collins. Christy Walsh was a fine club footballer , played junior football for Kerry. Robert Monohan the Kerry under 17 football midfielder in 2021 is a Kilmoyley man plays hurling with Kilmoyley , football with Ardfert |

1984 hurling final held in Thurles. Cork v Offaly And of course 1947polo grounds New York Cavan v Kerry Ballydonohooors had 3 on the go in that era but with Gus Cremin injured, just Eddie Dowling and Mick Finucane made the trip. Mick was the last surviving member of the travelling party and Gus on his passing was the oldest holder of an AI medal. I penned a nice one on them for The Ballydonohghue Parish Magazine that unfortunately was deemed 'not relevant to the community' if you don't mind. While I wasn't around in their playing days I can testify to their stand-out conversational characteristics, amazing company, they'd kill a topic in a short sentence, sports intelligence in abundance, it's only when I look back I even begin to realise it. Yeah, they were different alright, inspired 'Different Kings of Kingdom.' I suppose it marked out the difference between a club and a county man, that innate ability to read things when the rest of us would be to and froing. All I will say is that Ballydonohghue would be a different parish today if they were still around and they wouldn't hesitate in dealing with those who have over stayed their welcome. Ballythefireside Quote of The Day - Some bring happiness with them, others bring it when they leave. Now when is the next bus to Knock? |

I thought it was Brandon Barrett but I'm open to correction championship at senior level in the one year is Bernard McElligott of that there is no doubt it may be possible that Brandon got a run in the mcgrath cup for a few mins for football and then played Joe McDonagh hurling later in the year?? Jack o'Connor was big fan of Brandon at minor and under 21 actually |

He wasn't with footballers in 95. He went to the US after that and picked up a shoulder injury which curtailed his ball.

And of course 1947polo grounds New York Cavan v Kerry Was it in 1948 that the hurling AIF was held in Killarney? Anything to do with MOM's book, turf relaid so the crossbar wasn't regulation height - could only happen in GAA? Mind you that's only a patch in Ballydonoghoor Parish League when the liathroid hit the cross bar, sorry hay-twine, wan Joseph Linnane pencilled it in 2 points and so a draw, and not a drop of blood split, well not yet - but people are still looking over their shoulders! |

Mid 90’s two Kerry clubs had four members in with the Kerry Senior Panel, one was division one club Laune Rangers - who was the second club? While it's been talked about on here many times it's always amazed me how a club like Brick Rangers were able to produce that many top quality players at one time. Even more amazing they couldn't make any impact at club level despite having them. |

As a young lad growing up many gaa people said you build your team by making it strong up the middle in particular. No 3.No 6. No 8.and 9. NO. 11 and No. 14. Name a man that played senior championship in all these pivotal positions. Now I'm just going on my memory which is really 75 to today. There might be one or two before 75 I don't know but to my knowledge there is only one since. Can you name him? Sean Walsh? |

St. Senans and Crotta O’Neills Correct and there s more Abbey Dorney hurling and? Kilmoyley etc Abbeydorney do not have a corresponding club, a lot of there young players are going to Tralee to play with Na Gael e.g. Oisin Maunsell. Ardfert has 2 separate clubs, Ardfert football and St Brendan's Hurling. More or less the same players play on the 2 teams. Kilmoyley players who opt to play football play with Ardfert football. Players from Ballyheigue and Causeway who want to play football also play with Ardfert. Brandon Barret plays hurling with Causeway and football with Ardfert. There is one hurling club north of Causeway, namely Ballyduff and they have their own football club and throw in their lot with Shannon Rangers in the senior championship. |

Would it be ridiculous to claim that Dingle GAA are twinned with Kilmoyley for hurling (but not vice versa if you know what I mean)?
