Mike O’Halloran was at the 1st Round Draw for the The Garvey’s SuperValu Kerry Hurling Championship tonight at Tralee Bay Wetlands…
Ballyduff and Abbeydorney will square off again this year in round one of The Garvey’s SuperValu Kerry Hurling Championship, Causeway and St Brendan’s will again meet in the opening round for the umpteenth time.
Lixnaw will take on Kilmoyley, two sides who will have a big say towards the business end of the competition.
Everybody expected the draw to pit Ballyheigue, trained by Brendan O’Mahony, against his old club Crotta O’Neills. Brendan will be pitting his wits against his son Barry in this mouth watering clash, so expect a big turnout for this encounter.
Continued below…
Four thousand people attended the county final last year and there is no doubt that the hurling championship is the most colourful of all the championships in Kerry.
The draw for the Round 1 games, scheduled for the weekend of 17 June is as follows…
Ballyduff V Abbeydorney
Ballyheigue V Crotta O’Neills
Causeway V St Brendan’s
Lixnaw V Kilmoyley
