Juveniles
U6/8/10 Girls and Boys Saturday morning last was all about the All-Ireland in Healy Park Ballyrickard.
There were large numbers in all age groups despite many families having already left for Dublin. Most of the girls and boys showed up in their Kerry colours to show their support for Kerry teams and especially our own Cormac Coffey, David Moran, Barry John Keane and Alan O’Sullivan who is involved with the minor team.
There was a special intensity to training as many had aspirations to wear the green and gold in the future themselves. Training finished with all age groups getting together to give both teams a very special cheer. Training as usual next Saturday.
U14s: U14s have qualified for the Division 3 Town League semi-final v John Mitchels to be played on this Wednesday evening the 24th at 6pm in Strand Road.
U16s: U16 games in the Town League are fixed as follows but are subject to change. Back game v Churchill is due to be played in Churchill on Sunday 28th at 11am. Next round to be played is round 5 v Na Gaeil on the 6th of October at 6pm in Strand Road.

Congratulations
Well we did it…..the double is in the bag…..well done to the minors (especially Cormac Coffey and Alan O’Sullivan) and management on their exciting win over Donegal and won’t it be great to welcome Tommy Markham back to Kerry after the long wait of 20 years.
It has been 5 years since we had Sam Maguire in our possession so when Fionn and Kieran finally lifted it on Sunday we all breathed a sigh of relief.
Some would say it wasn’t the nicest game to watch and I would probably agree but my can we congratulate the Kerry team (especially David Moran and Barry John Keane) and management on their adaptability and tactical play and the way they beat Donegal at their own game.
It will make the winter shorter and we will still watch the replays over and over. I can see this team being here for a long time to come. Comhghairdeas go léir ó gach duine i Chéirín Uí Rathaille.
