The Kerryman (South Kerry Edition)
FARRANFORE FIRIES
BALLYHAR DYNAMOS
Kennedy cup - Kerry’s u14 soccer team including our own Patrick o Connor lost out to a late winner by Galway at the quarter final stage. Galway then contested the final loosing out to Dublin District Schoolboy league on penalties suggesting that Kerry were not far off the winning standard. It was always going to be difficult to win back to back titles but well done to all players & management.AGM- The recent AGM saw the club review the club activities over the past year which saw all teams & coaches congratulated , a season which saw three of our teams reach finals with the u15’s being victorious. Dylan Callaghan & Conor Henderson were congratulated on winning all Ireland soccer medals with St Brendan’s college. The Meeting opened with a minutes silence for the late Ger Coffey & Connie o Sullivan both club stalwarts.

Tadhg o Dochtaraigh ,Sean Murphy & Donal Groves. Chairman Brendan oSullivan .Vice chairman Donie Teahan. Secretary Donal o Donoghue.PRO Anthony McKenna. Treasurer Tim Teahan. Assistant Treasurer Donal Groves. child protection officer Miriam o Donoghue. Committee-JJ Dowd, Tony o Connor, Danny Cronin, Noel Kenny, Dan Quilter, Linda Ring, Claire Callaghan, Dave Kelly, Sean o Connor & Edmund Kerrisk.Euro’s - The competition has brought great colour and excitement to the country and the upcoming French game will be a difficult test but with O Neill & Keane at the helm the republic will be organised and difficult to break down. A point of interest from our recent victory over Italy is that 7 of the 11 players that finished the game came through the League of Ireland.
