All-Ireland medallists within Clubs

[ginger]

TEXT
Now that the prospect of another batch of All-Ireland medals seems very good lets delve into the past.
Of the existing clubs in Kerry which one would hold the most senior medals. That is medals won by players born in its catchment area either with Kerry or with other counties.
It may be difficult in Tralee and Killarney but lets have a bit of crac. Everybody should at least know the players from their own club.

Well from the legion GAA club there would be John Culloty ,- Culloty , - Culloty, John Keane ,Diarmuid o Donoghue and Peter O leary

[Exiled2Dublin]

A fair ould trawl though the record books would be needed to sort that one out. Off the top of my head I'd say the Stacks would figure highly being well represented during the golden years of 75 to 86 and on the great AI winning teams of the 20s and 30s.

[austinstacksabu]

Austin Stacks have won 82 - list below.

Dinny Long is now a club member (Chairman) and won medals with Cork but played for his home club when winning them. Presume that doesn't count?

Another interesting fact - Tralee CBS has produced more All Ireland Football medal winners than any other school in Ireland. Sunday Indo ran a piece last year on it and they couldn't find a school at the time to challange it in hurling.

[JohnBoscoMclane]

Not being smart Austinstackabú but the club did not compete as a seperate entity until 1926( page six of The street of Champions clkub history book) Therefore those medal ye claim from players in 1924 belong to Tralee Mitchels/Tralee teams.

[buck02]

Surely the 82 (or 80 if the historian is correct) cannot be beaten. Its some haul but its also sad not to see the stacks producing Kerry players over the last number of years. Damn soccer.

[ginger]

Austinstacksabu you have come up with a formidable list but I thought that Anthony O'Keeffe's name should have been on it. I have doubts about three on your list but I am waiting to see if some other parish claims them. Also were not Rock Street men on the teams, 1903/4, 1909, 1913/4.
I am also waiting to see what the "Blues" and Boherbui claim and the clear air boys.
A friend of mine from Inch claims that Annascaul players have won more than 30 with the following players; P. Kennedy, J. Counihan, G. Teahan, T. O'Donnell, C. O'Sullivan, S. Murphy, Seamus Murphy, D. O'Shea and T. Doyle.

[austinstacksabu]

Being honest with you Ginger, I've taken it from the Stacks website - www.austinstacks.com - it would have taken me an age otherwise.

Judging from JohnBosco's comments, they seem to have left out the early winners for that reason. As for Tony O'Keeffe, did he play in an All Ireland semi or final. Remember the old rule that existed until not so long ago - even Mike Hassett was knobbled by it.

Out of interest, which 3 players are you suspect about?

[Attacking Wing Back]

Stacks hav the most all ireland club winners....Think tony o keeffe has a medal as a sub but couldnt be sure....

[austinstacksabu]

All Ireland club winners? Wouldn't that be Nemo?

[JohnBoscoMclane]

Tony played in 1977 semifinal v dubs.

In the early yrs the team was made of mostly tralee forwards and killarney backs with odd exception being Dennhy Curran and Rodie kirwan from Castleisland. kirwan was a wterford man working as a clerk in the bank who had a huge intersest in the oylimpics and went to alot of them until his death in the 1960s. He was in Los Angelus when south kerry Eamon Ned Fitzgerald came fourth in the hop skip and jump for Ireland. Fitzgerald have won all irelands with kerry in the first four in row kerry team 1929-1932, teacher in dublin. Kirwan as at those games as an offical. supporter of team.

[austinstacksabu]

So Tony's missing from the list. Must check up with the stacks webmaster to see why he's not on.

[Other_KYFan_in_Dublin]

If he played in 77 semi final only then he wouldn't necessarily merit a place on the list, seeing as Dublin won that game and the subsequent All-Ireland final...

[austinstacksabu]

Thanks Other KY Fan - jumped to conclusion without sussing the date properly. He never won a medal because his one year was '77.

Ginger abbeydorney had the Rice brothers in the 1900s,

Scartaglin Tangauay chap a teacher in the 1900s.


Good post by you anyway.

[austinstacksabu]

Some posting Ginger - thanks for that. We'll have a revised Kerry history here yet.

[Other_KYFan_in_Dublin]

Excellent post Ginger. Castleisland should have a few more though, Charlie Nelligan and Dermot Hanafin can be added to that list. John and Derry Crowley should also be added to the Glenfesk list. Haven't the time to read the whole list but i'm sure we'll come up with a few more for you!!!

[ginger]

John Mitchells: Both stacks and Mitchells claim Jackie Ryan, unless there was two players of the same name.
With Jackie Ryan I make it at least 60 All-Ireland medals won by players born in their catchment area.
T. o'Gorman (2); J. O'Gorman (2); M. McCarthy (5)? C. healy (3); A. Stack (3); J. T. Fitzgerald (1); T. Costelloe (3); D. Mullins (2); Jackie Ryan (6); John Joe Sheehy (4); P. Whitty (2); W. Kinnerk (1); F. O'Keeffe (1); G. O'Mahoney (1); P. Sheehy (4); N. Sheehy (2); S. Sheehy (1); S. Roche (1); M. Morris (1); T. Dowd (3); J. Higgins (1); J. Riordan (3); J. Keohane (5); B. O'Donnell (1); T. Healy (4).
It is possible that there is some substitutes missing.
Not sure if the M. McCarthy who figured in the first five All-Ireland winning teams is one and the same person.
John 'Gal' Slattery and Jas. Bailey among the Austin Stacks list were actually from the Ballymac area.

[austinstacksabu]

Well, within catchment area the Austin Stacks numbers would be somewhat depleted from the 82 that I listed. What is the Stacks catchment area - has it not changed over the years etc. Did Ballymac have a club back then?

[JohnBoscoMclane]

yA BALLMAC WON 4COUNTY TITLES IN 1891, 1894. 1895, 1818. dIN jOE BAILY AND HIS BROTHER PATIE WON MEDALS WITH BALLYMAC IN 1918. dIN jOE WENT TO SERVE AS cOUNTY bOARD cHAIRMAN.


JACKIE RYAN WON HIS MEDAL BEFORE STACKS FORMED SO MITCHELS CLAIM HIM
