Team pissing off before the end of the game. Team threatening not to turn up. Player strikes. It's always them, isn't it. Frank Murphy was adamant that no decision had been made that extra time would be played. Cork were getting the train home and they would have missed the train if extra time was played so they went home. I was at the game and there great confusion.... but nothing on the 1998 hurling semi final between Clare and Offaly. I even had a puck around Croke park that day as everyone piled onto the pitch during the sit down by Offaly. I knew one of the Kerry u21 hurlers and he gave me his hurley.... |

They lost the final to St. Mel’s, Langford, a team which contained, I think, Liam Mulvihill the recent Secretary General of the GAA. Batt became minister for education some years ago. He played minor for Cork and senior for a year or two. |

Three clubs in Kerry that have never had an All-Ireland SFC medal winner? I would say there's more than three. Has anyone from Brosna won one? St. Senans as well? In fact have either really had too many who played senior championship? Listry and Fossa wouldn't have any either. Although all going well that'll soon change with Fossa. Ardfert and Ballyduff wouldn't have any either AFAIK. Do you include Clounmacon in it? According to the Terrese Talk website Bsllymac have at least one medal winner from the 20s. While Johnny Bunyan footballed with his birth parish of Ballydonoghue he hurled with Ballyduff and where he settled on an out-farm his family had. As to the timing, well you'd have to ask close to home and also bearing in mind that both clubs joined up for football at various stages, and hurling by default as us 'hoors never had a small-ball club, Johnny's baby brother Robert hurled with B'duff. Ah wasn't B'duffs PJ Houlihan on the'75 minor panel so he'd have silver - eavesdropping on auld laddos as a garsún it looked like a foregone conclusion that he'd play county senior and there was a vintage crop in that era - Jimmy Sullivan and a few more. Clounmacon is also an odd one in that it is in Listowel parish and also the birth place of Timmy 'Horse' Kennelly. He always played for Listowel but has Clounmacon claim to his silver? I understand all the medals were in his birth home at one stage so the plot thickens! Ah sure 'tis academic, once they are all in Kerry? |

It was only a 'hoors photo that had me baffled of who played county, ok I had heard names mentioned but the photo had 'em all together. BTW I wonder will Croke Park ever digitise such history - a database of all players in all games, we'd all be on there? |

The question about some clubs not having an All-Ireland winning senior medal set me thinking about 1955. That Kerry winning team was one of the most revered because they were given absolutely no chance against Dublin. Interestingly, a small rural club provided three members to that panel. Club and player names if you please.

Was that P Fitzgerald Pa the doggy man? How many medals were given? It was only 20 in recent years though TCB could buy extras, if it was 18 and/or only 'played on the day' then Duagh may have gotten a single medal and TCB wouldn't be investing! And so Clounmacon has silver. '55 also the 'maternal' start of that Templenoe bloodline and Knock' took it's rightful place among the nations! You're lovin' it Vet, the best thread ever, imaginable - too much temptation! Now going a small bit off point, what horse won consecutive races at The Cheltenham Festival? |

who was the first man to take a kickout from the 21 yard line in an all ireland final To verify, I'd have to find the golden years tape, find a VHS machine to play it in but i am reliably informed that when Seamus Darby scored that goal in the 1982 final, Charlie Neligan put the ball on the 21 for the kickout. |

Correct. Batt was from Cullen near Millatreet. He captained St. Brendans in 1963 . They lost the final to St. Mel’s, Langford, a team which contained, I think, Liam Mulvihill the recent Secretary General of the GAA. Batt became minister for education some years ago. He played minor for Cork and senior for a year or two. Close to home, did he tog off with you in UCC Vet? |

Club and player names if you please. Dan McAuliffe and Dermot Dillon, Duagh, don’t know the third Aodhan does it again, almost anyway. Tom Costello is the third. Tom is still hale and hearty , having farmed all his life down around Adare. He is the grand uncle of Johnny Buckley. As far as I know he is the only one of the trio to get a medal in 1955. Diarmuid, sadly no longer with us, farmed down around Adare also. His sister was married to Gus Cremins . His brother Kevin played for Cork in the late sixties. Brother Pat, played for Kerry juniors. Dan McAuliffe died at a fairly young age. He was married to a sister of Colm and Brendan Kennelly. Had a pub in Duagh village . Got his medals in 1959 and 1962. Another Duagh clubman, Billy Doran, won a NFL medal in 1963. Between Billy and Anthony Maher I am not sure if any other Duagh man played for the Kerry seniors. Did Kieran Quirke play a few games for the seniors? Not sure. Ciarraimick, as you say the Tiger was a Cordal man. He won his medals in 1959 and 1962. His nephew Mossy won a medal in 2000 if I am not mistaken. |

Paddy Kennedy for example wouldn't have played with Annascaul as they had no team during his time. But are his medals classed as being won by Annascaul? Same with Bill Casey from that era. Are they Lispole or Dingle? At that can the medals won by players of that era be claimed by Dingle as it's not really the same club? |

Anyway hopefully we won't do like the old enemy does and claim we are all British! Reminds of the story of Ian Paisley waking up from the dead by the great news that Rangers had beaten the life out of Celtic, only to go back to sleep again when he heard the score was 2-15 to 0-1. |

Did 4 Kerry men ever line out at midfield (on opposite sides)in Croke Park in semi or final. I was told it happened but can't recall or find any proof.
