Nomination­s and Motions can be submitted to the Secretary, John Nolan by Friday 7th December. WEESHIE FOGARTY: It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing this week of a Kerry broadcasti­ng icon, Weeshie Fogarty. Weeshie may be better remembered nationwide for his commentary on Kerry football games, but in Kilmoyley he will live long in the memory for one game in particular - the 2003 Munster league final in which Kilmoyley defeated Na Piarsaigh of Cork at Fitzgerald stadium.For those who were fortunate enough to have attended that game on the 22nd November 2003, the only other remaining memory of the final is Weeshie’s match reports on Radio Kerry, as unfortunat­ely there was no video was taken of the game. But how brilliantl­y he captured the emotion of the game and the sense of the occasion in his own style. Michael O’Leary, Snipefield made a number of taped recordings of the radio commentary, which is now also available on the Kilmoyley hurling club Facebook page.
