Douglas lose in Munster final 23rd Nov '09 South Liberties of Limerick defeated favourites Douglas of Cork in the final of the Munster Intermediate club championship on Sunday by 2-10 to 1-12. Despite leading by four points at half time after playing against the breeze, Douglas collapsed in the second period and two goals by the Limerick men drove them to victory.

Party for juveniles 21st Nov '09The Juvenile Chairperson, Catherine O Sullivan and her Committee organised a lively end of year party night for the under age players on Friday night at the Community Centre. There was plenty of entertainment provided and refreshments. Thanks to everyone who helped out and to Tom Godley, John Nolan, TJ Maunsell, Mika Flaherty and especially Mike Curran for entertaining the children on the night. Thanks also to everyone who supplied the refreshments.

Defeat for Kilmoyley in Munster Championship 1st Nov '09 The hurling gods did not shine kindly on Kilmoyley in their Munster Intermediate Championship quarter final clash against Douglas on Sunday. The sides finished level 1-8 to 0-11 at the end of normal time, but Douglas's superior strength and fitness earned them a comfortable win on a scoreline of 1-23 to 1-12. Kilmoyley will be bitterly disappointed with this result, especially when it looked as if they had secured victory at the end of normal time with a point from Sean Maunsell. But Douglas were awarded a free three minutes into injury time to guarantee them a draw. Kilmoyley supporters travelled in their droves to the game and gave a huge lift to the team throughout the game with their enthusiasm and encouragement from the stands. But Kilmoyley must wait until at least next year to show that they are better than this. MATCH REPORT

Seniors ready for battle 30th Oct '09 It has been a long five week wait for our seniors but the time has almost arrived for the Munster Intermediate club quarter final clash with Douglas of Cork. Kilmoyley have a couple of injury worries with Eoin Sheehy and Shane Brick hoping to be match fit come Sunday. Preparations have gone well over the past few weeks and now we must hope that the team plays to its potential on Sunday against a physical Douglas side that will be back playing in the senior ranks in 2010 following their win in the Premier Intermediate championship. They have continued their good form with a win over Kilworth last Tuesday in the Division 2 final. But Kilmoyley will relish this challenge, and will be confident that they can upset the odds. With so many locals travelling (despite the terrible forecast), the team will not be short of support at Pairc Ui Rinn come 2pm throw in. And of course Tom Howard and Anthony Daly have done a super job til now, but will not want to finish just yet.

Cumann na mBunscoil final 16th Oct '09 There was hard luck for the senior boys of Scoil Naomh Eirc, Kilmoyley who were beaten by Bouleenshere National school, Ballyheigue in the North Kerry 4/5 teacher schools football competition. The sides were deadlocked at the end of normal time, but the stronger boys from Ballyheigue pulled through in the end on a scoreline of 7-18 to 7-13.

Munster Intermediate club competition 14th Oct '09 Kilmoyley's seniors will meet Douglas of Cork in the quarter final of the Munster Intermediate club championship. Douglas defeated Ballymartyl in the Cork final by 0-20 to 0-16. This will prove to be a very difficult task for Kilmoyley as Douglas were a seasoned senior team until a few years ago. With the game being played in Pairc Ui Ring on November 1st, Kilmoyley will certainly be underdogs as their opponents will be one of the favourites to win Munster and All Ireland titles. But Kilmoyley will hve prepared well since their county final win over St. Brendans, and will be hoping to give a worthy accounty of themselves.

Win for Under 21s 12th Oct '09 Kilmoyley Under 21s enjoyed a comprehensive win in their quarter final tie with Abbeydorney at Kilmoyley on Saturday. Although they struggled in the first half, Kilmoyley played some excellent hurling in the second period. Within a minute of the re-start John B O'Halloran at full forward doubled a high ball brilliantly to the net. He later set up Conor Fitzell for a goal, while Timothy O'Brien added a third goal for the winners. Kilmoyley await the draw to see whom they will meet in the semi, but they will need an improved performance to progress.

Under 21 Championship set to begin 5th Oct '09 The Kilmoyley Under 21s attempt to create further history for the club as they look to win the county championship, commencing with a home tie next Saturday against Abbeydorney. With Anthony Daly in charge, the players will be anxious to put in good performances in an attempt to bring the third county title back to the club this year. Following Kerry's All Ireland "B" success last month, county players such as David Fitzell, James Godley, Adrian Royle, Niall Young and Edward Fitzgerald will be hoping for big performances.

Seniors and Minors win historic double 29th Sept '09 Congratulations to everyone involved in the Senior and Minor teams who created history on Sunday by becoming the first Kilmoyley teams in 45 years to win the double. The seniors also moved to the top of the all time leader board of championship wins with 22 titles in total. They now play the winners of the Cork intermediate championship in five weeks time. Captain Micheal Regan was a worthy recipient of the Man of the Match Award, putting in a superb performance for Kilmoyley at centre forward. View 2009 County Final Photos Here

Kilmoyley all set for finals 25th Sept '09 Despite having parts of the parish painted (with bad writing) during the week, Kilmoyley is all ready for both minor and senior finals next Sunday at Austin Stack park for what promises to be a great day. What other club in Ireland can boast having the calibre of such coaches and managers as Anthony Daly and John Meyler on their sideline. Events get under way at 1.30pm when the minors take on Ballyduff as they seek to win our 13th minor title. But this will be a difficult task for our young team who have already had two good wins in the competition, first against Kenmare and last week against Lixnaw in the semi-final. Although this was a relatively comfortable semi final win, kilmoyley will need to improve significantly if they are to bring home the Sean Lovett cup for the first time since 2007.

The seniors too have a difficult task as they face neighbours St Brendans in a county final for the first time since 1963. Kilmoyley are being made favourites by the bookmakers but there will be very little between two sides who have very contrasting styles. Kilmoyley's experience will certainly be a major benefit against a team playing its first final, but most of those players also have experience of playing in a junior and intermediate all-ireland final. But with a bit of luck, it would be great to have both Neilus Flynn and the Sean Lovett cups in Kilmoyley on Sunday night. Best of luck to both teams!!

Minors qualify for third final in a row 18th Sept '09 Our minor team defeated Lixnaw 3-10 to 2-9 in the semi-final of the county championship at Abbeydorney on Friday evening. Played before a large crowd, Kilmoyley dominated the first half with Daniel Collins netting two goals. However a fortuitous goal by Lixnaw just before the break brought them back into the game as Kilmoyley led by six points. Kilmoyley did just enough in the second half to stay ahead without ever hitting top gear, but Maurice Fitzgerald and John Meyler will be pleased to have reached the final where they will meet Ballyduff who defeated Causeway in Saturday's semi-final. This is a great feat for the minors who, along with the seniors will play in their third final in a row next week. Here's hoping that both teams can now win one more game each and go one step better than the previous two years with the seniors losing in 2007 and the minors in 2008.

Intermediates lose semi-final 15th Sept '09 Kilmoyley's Intermediates lost to Kenmare by 0-12 to 0-7 in the semi-final of the County Intermediate championship at Connolly park, Tralee after a disappointing performance. The loss of Joe Murnane through injury was a blow to Kilmoyley before the start of the game, but Kilmoyley still had enough chances to win the game. Unfortunately, the usually reliable free taking of Brendan Harris let him down, while Kilmoyley couldn't score enough from play.

Kerry win U21 "B" title 12th Sept '09 The Kerry U21 hurlers completed a great year for underage hurling for the county at inter county level when they defeated Roscommon in the "B" All Ireland final at Ennis on Saturday. Kilmoyley had John B O'Halloran, James Godley, David Fitzell, Niall Young, Adrian Royle, Edward Fitzgerald, Jason Fealy and Andy McCarthy on the panel. Well done to the lads and to former Kilmoyley boss John Meyler who was in charge.

Seniors reach County final 4th Sept'09 Kilmoyley advanced to their third senior county final in a row and their seventh this decade following this easy 4-16 to 3-3 victory over Crotta O'Neills at Austin Stack park. The expected challenge from the young Crotta side never materialised as the reigning county champions dominated from the start. The game was effectively over after the first quarter with Kilmoyley leading 2-6 to 0-2 and dominated in every section of the field. By half time, Kilmoyley led by 3-9 to 0-2. Crotta improved their performance considerably in the second half scoring three goals, but it was obvious that Kilmoyley were not putting in the same effort as the first half. Kilmoyley await the result of the second semi final between St. Brendans and Abbeydorney to see who they meet in the final on September 24th. MATCH REPORT

U15s lose in semi-final 31st Aug'09 An understrength Kilmoyley U15 side gave a very good account of themselves in this County semi final against Lixnaw in terrible conditions at Ballyheigue. A torrential shower of rain fell just before throw in and left pools of water on the field, but credit to both sides who served up a very entertaining game. The final scoreline of 7-4 to 2-4 does little justice to the team's brave efforts, but there was no doubting the better side won. Daniel Collins, operating at full forward opened the scoring with a point from play, but Lixnaw quickly equalised. Three of our team were U12s while another four were U13, so it was going to be difficult for the team to sustain the effort for the hour. Despite a great effort by the defence Lixnaw scored their opening goal after ten minutes, and added a point short after. But Kilmoyley replied with a goal of their own through Daniel Collins who scored all but one of his sides points. Kilmoyley keeper Emmet Meehan made some great saves while brother Niall played very well at corner back.At the break Kilmoyley trailed by one two points.
Kilmoyley started the second half in dynamic fashion and dominated the early exchanges. Dougie Fitzell and Florence McCarthy were outstanding throughout for Kilmoyley but their efforts began to take their toll. Lixnaw's first goal of the half was fortunate as the ball had actually gone wide, and another soft goal seemed to knock the wind out of Kilmoyley's challenge. In the end Lixnaw ran out comfortable winners but the Kilmoyley boys can be very pleased with their effort.Team :-Emmet Meehan, Shane Monahan, John Godley, Niall Meehan, Paudie O'Connor, Florence McCarthy, Robert Collins, Dougie Fitzell, Peter Crowe, Jordan Brick, Eoin McCarthy, Robert McElligott (0-1), Sean Curran, Daniel Collins (2-3), Paudie Godley, Darren Godley, Liam Claffey.

Good win for U11s 28th Aug'09 Kilmoyley's U11s made amends for an earlier round defeat when they defeated Ballyduff 3-2 to 2-2 in this very entertaining play off game in Kilmoyley on a windy evening. Both sides found it difficult to score as a strong breeze blew across the field. How groundsman Michael Regan was able to cut the grass was nothing short of a miracle considering the recent terrible spell of rain we had, but the pitch was in excellent condition.
Kilmoyley started brightly with Maurice O'Connor and Phil Maunsell dominating at midfield but they could not find the posts despite the best efforts of Philip Flaherty. Kilmoyley's defence started to come under pressure but with Eamon Dowling outstanding at centre back, all attacks were snuffed out. Then from a long delivery, Ronan Godley latched onto the breaking ball and slipped the ball under the advancing keeper to give Kilmoyley the lead. Ballyduff replied with two points but Phil Maunsell strengthened Kilmoyley's lead with a lovely shot into the corner of the net. However Kilmoyley conceded 1-1 before the break to leave them with a two point half time lead after Maurice O'Connor pointed.
The second half produced more exciting huring as both sides gave it everything. Maurice O'Connor scored his second point within a few minutes as the Ballyduff keeper tipped a great shot over the bar. Despite a great effort at full back by Sean Regan, he was helpless to stop a second Ballyduff goal that brought the game level as the game moved into the final five minutes. Another long delivery into the Ballyduff defence caused panic and it looked certain that Philip Flaherty was to score, but his shot came off the crossbar. Onto the rebound like a flash was young Ronan Godley and he kicked home his second goal to give Kilmoyley the lead which they held on to until the final whistle.
This was an encouraging display by this young side and credit must go to the girls in particular who lined out for Kilmoyley this evening as they made a big difference to their performance. Next up is Crotta/Duagh in the semi-final.. See Match photos

Great wins for Kerry minors and U21s 22nd Aug'09 Saturday will be remembered as the day when the Kerry minors created history by capturing the All Ireland "B" title with a 0-21 to 1-13 victory over Westmeath at Cloughjordan. In the curtain raiser, Kerry's U21 side under the managerial eye of former Kilmoyley, Kerry and Wexford supremo John Meyler had a narrow 2-10 to 0-15 win over favourites Kildare and advance to meet Roscommon in the final.
One would think that after winning an All Ireland title that this team would now be taking it easy and looking back on a fantastic achievement. But it is a sign of how seriously this bunch of young fellas and their management team are taking their hurling, as they have four games remaining in their Cork premier league campaign. It is an opportunity for these players to play top class opposition and continue to improve on their game, which will be hugely benefitial for their hurling in the coming years. The Kilmoyley club was proudly represented by players Tommy Maunsell, Luke Fitzell, Sean Dowling, and Edmund Griffin and by selector Joe Walsh, Kilmoyley and team trainer Joe Walsh, Lerrig Kerry's hurling officer.
Despite having only one serious training session in the run up to this semi-final clash, the Kerry U21s pulled off an upset to defeat a fancied Kildare side. Two first half Dara O'Connell goals helped Kerry to a two point half time lead. Kilmoyley had five players on the starting team while Niall Young was also introduced as a substitute. There is no doubt that there is plenty of talent in this Kerry team and under the guidance of John Meyler they certainly have a great chance of winning the "B" title. Well done to all concerned.

Kilmoyley edge out Ballyduff in tough QF 16th Aug'09 Kilmoyley advance to meet Crotta O'Neills in the County championship semi final thanks to a great win over Ballyduff in the quarterfinal at Austin Stack park on Sunday evening on a scoreline of 0-16 to 1-10. Kilmoyley struggled in the initial period and were in arrears at the break by 1-6 to 0-5 after playing into a slight breeze. There was little between the teams throughout the game but once Kilmoyley edged in front in the final quarter, they upped their performance and although Ballyduff had the final score of the game, Kilmoyley dominated in the final period with some excellent performances from Shane Brick, Eoin Sheehy, James McCarthy and Billy Brick. Diarmuid Kirwan, who is to referee the All-Ireland final between Kilkenny and Tipperary reffed the game. .MATCH REPORT
A young Crotta had a surprise win over Ballyheigue in their quarter final on a scoreline of 3-12 to 0-17.

Jessica shines at Croke Park 16th Aug'09 Well done to Kilmoyley's Jessica Fitzell who represented the club and county at Croke Park on Sunday in the Cumann na mBunscoil game held at half time between Tipperary and Limerick. Jessica is one of the most talented underage players in the club and is following in her brothers' footsteps. Well done!!

Kerry minor hurlers reach "B" final 15th Aug'09 For many years Kerry's underage hurling sides have struggled for success but since Causeway's All-Ireland U16 win a few months back the momentum has gathered. This latest result will give this minor side a huge level of belief going into next week's final against Westmeath. A lot of work has gone into the preparation of this team, including their participation in the Cork minor league which has improved their standard of hurling to a higher level.
In the semi-final at Toomevara last Saturday Kerry faced Meath who have always been more than a match for Kerry at every underage level. But the final score of 4-23 to 0-10 in Kerry's favour suggests that there is a bright future for this team.

Seniors gear up for Championship 7th Aug'09 Preparations for the senior county championship are well under way, as Kilmoyley prepare to meet Ballyduff on Saturday 15th August at Austin Stack park. Training has been progressing well under Tom Howard and Anthony Daly, with no major injury worries to report so Kilmoyley followers will be hoping for a quality performance from their team to give them a chance of progressing to the semi finals.

Win for U15s in Championship 6th Aug'09 Our U15s defeated Causeway in the quarter final of the county U15 championship on Thursday on a scoreline of 1-12 to 1-5. Kilmoyley's main scorer was Daniel Collins, but he was ably assisted by Florence McCarthy, Dougie Fitzell and Peter Crowe.

Intermediates advance 2nd Aug'09 The Intermediates are through to the semi final of the county championship but struggled to see off the challenge of Dr. Crokes at Lewis road, Killarney. In a low scoring first half Kilmoyley found it difficult to get going and were lucky to lead by one point having scored only four points. Kilmoyley's hurling improved in the second half and although the home side scored a goal, Kimoyley held on to win by 0-13 to 1-7.

Minors win QF tie 31st July'09 Our minors came through a tough test in the quarter final of the championship when they defeated Kenmare/ Kilgarvan on Friday evening. Following a good first half display, Kilmoyley faded in the second half and were fortunate to hold on by two points. (More soon)

U14s lose in NK C'ship 28th July'09Kilmoyley's poor form continued with this heavy defeat to Ballyduff in Kilmoyley on Tuesday evening in the North Kerry U14 Championship. Kilmoyley started brightly playing some excellent hurling, but a collapse ten minutes from the break allowed Ballyduff in for four late goals. Kilmoyley's task was more difficult in the second half as they faced a strong breeze and when they conceded an early goal and point it all seemed over. Kilmoyley missed a number of goal chances and never threatened the Ballyduff lead. Kilmoyley's final game is away next week to Duagh/ Crotta. Kilmoyley Team - Paudie O'Connor, Fiachra King, Paudie Godley, Emmett Meehan, Niall Meehan, Maurice O Connor, Jordan Brick, Robert McElligott, Kieran McCarthy, Eoin McCarthy, Robert Collins, Sean Curran, Jack Sheehy, subs Darren Godley, Mark Griffin, Michael Leen, Richard Flaherty.

Limerick and Waterford progress 26th July'09 Anthony Daly's first year in charge of the Dublin hurlers came to a halt today as they were beaten by Limerick at Semple stadium in the All-Ireland quarterfinal. Dublin will be disappointed that they did not play to their best on the day, but overall they must be pleased with their progress under the Clare man.
In the second quarter final Galway threw away a four point lead with two minutes remaining as Waterford finished with a late surge to earn a semi final spot against All-Ireland champions Kilkenny.

County championship draw made 26th July'09 Kilmoyley have been drawn to meet old rivals Ballyduff in the quarter final of this year's AIB Senior county championship. Kilmoyley were not seeded for the draw due to their placing after five rounds of the county league, and were grouped with Abbeydorney, Crotta and Causeway. The other quarter final pairings are St. Brendans v Causeway, Lixnaw v Abbeydorney and Ballyheigue v Crotta. Dates for the quarterfinals have not yet been finalised.

U14s disappoint in NK C'ship 21st July'09Kilmoyley travelled to Abbeydorney in the North Kerry U14 Championship and went down to a stronger home outfit on the scoreline of Abbeydorney 5-06 Kilmoyley 2-06. Kilmoyley were without the services of Paudie O Connor and Shane Monaghan through injury, but regardless the team has still to play to the best of their ability. Team - Kieran McCarthy, Sean Curran, Paudie Godley, Emmett Meehan, Niall Meehan, Maurice O Connor, Jordan Brick, Robert McElligott, Mark Griffin, Eoin McCarthy, Robert Collins, Fiachra King, Jack Sheehy, subs Darren Godley, Eamon Dowling, Liam Claffey, Sean Regan

Seniors lose first game of the year 20th July'09 Kilmoyley's Seniors put in a disappointing display against Lixnaw at home in the fourth round of the county league going down on a scoreline of 0-12 to 0-9. The draw for the county championship takes place on Tuesday night based on the current county league placings.

Seniors pull NK league title out of the fire 8th July'09 Kilmoyley finished with a flourish of 1-5 in the final six minutes of extra time to see off the Abbeydorney challenge and take the Sonny Harris cup on a final scoreline of 1-19 to 1-17 at Kilmoyley. Abbeydorney seemed to have sealed the win when a goal three minutes into the second period of extra time gave them a six point lead, following a poor defensive Kilmoyley free. But the home side responded immediately with an Andy McCarthy goal following great work by Billy Brick. They then added further frees by Man of the Match Sean Maunsell and three points by substitute Brendan Harris as the Abbeydorney challenge faded to seal the win.
Kilmoyley only played well in patches throughout the game, and conceded numerous frees to give their opponents a grip on the game - without playing great hurling themselves. Sean Maunsell was excellent up front for Kilmoyley and was a worthy winner of the Man of the match with ten points in the game.

Christy Walsh featured on Sunday Game 5th July'09 Former Kilmoyley and Kerry great Christy Walsh featured on The Sunday Game's special program celebrating 125 years of Munster hurling finals. Christy was briefly interviewed along with other Munster hurling legends such as John Fenton, Gary Kirby, Len Gaynor and Fergal Hartley by host Des Cahill. Nicholas English was voted by viwers as the best Munster hurler in the past 25 years.

Seniors game abandoned 5th July'09 Kilmoyley's county league tie against Causeway was abandoned ten minutes into the second half today folllowing an accidental injury to one of the Causeway players. As an ambulance was required and the player, David Leahy could not be moved, match referee deemed the game to be abandoned.
At the time Kilmoyley were losing 1-7 top 0-7 but had just scored three points without reply and having the benefit of the wind for the second half. Speedy recovery to David Leahy.

Under 16s lose to Causeway 2nd July'09 An understrength Kilmoyley side went down by four points to Causeway at home on Thursday evening despite a brave second half performance. With no subs available, injuries to a number of the Kilmoyley players probably cost them the game but they can take great heart from the manner in which they finished this game.

Seniors reach second NK final of the year 1st July'09 A hurling game between Kilmoyley and Ballyduff generally results in many talking points, and this semi-final clash was certainly no different. A number of red cards could have been issued, and it was a wonder that there were no serious injuries. Apart from that, Kilmoyley will be pleased to come away with a 1-12 to 0-10 win having played well below their best throughout the game. But for some fine finishing from Shaun Young, the workrate of his brother Niall and a couple of good saves from keeper JB O'Halloran the result could have gone the other way. Kilmoyley will meet St. Brendans in the final on July 15th. (Match Report later)

Fitzell wins long puck competition 29th June'09 Congratulations to Kilmoyley's Dougie Fitzell who won the U16 Puc Fada competition at Caherslee on Monday with a brilliant effort of 122 yards which was only six yards shorter than the puck of the senior winner Michael Conway. Both winners now go to the Munster final in Tipperary in a couple of weeks.

Intermediates win first title of the year 28th June'09 Kilmoyley's Intermediates were crowned Credit Union division 2 County league winners on Saturday evening when they defeated Dr. Crokes by 3-11 to 1-10 at Austin Stacks park with an impressive display from the start. Sean Maunsell got the winners off to a great start with an early goal while Brendan Harris followed with a long range pointed free. Crokes replied with their only score of the half but Kilmoyley were well on top throughout the field. Andy McCarthy and Sean Flaherty added two points for Kilmoyley while Adrian Royle added a third soon after. McCarthy stretched Kilmoyley's lead with a second goal while Harris and Maunsell added further points to give Kilmoyley a comfortable half time lead of 2-7 to 0-1.
Dr. Crokes started strongly after the break but found it difficult to breakdown Kilmoyley's rearguard with Sean Griffin and David Fitzell in great form. A defensive clearance was worked to Sean Flaherty who scored Kilmoyley's third goal to put the game result beyond doubt. Royle adde two more points while sub Michael Griffin and Harris added another each. Captain Joe Murnane was presented with the cup. Well done to the management team of Gerald O'Carroll, Michael Flaherty, Maurice Fitzgerald and TJ Maunsell on this well earned win. Kilmoyley team and players:- Aidan McCabe, Joseph O'Sullivan, Sean Griffin, Gavin O'Connor, David Fitzell, Joe Murnane, Pat Deenihan, Brendan Harris, Paul McCarthy, Niall Young, Jason Fealy, Adrian Royle, Andy McCarthy, Sean Maunsell, Sean Flaherty, Joe McElligott, Gerald O'Carroll, Michael Griffin, Michael Fitzgerald, TJ Maunsell, Conor Stokes, Edward Fitzgerald, Declan O'Carroll, Joe Brennan, Maurice Fitzgerald.

U13s outhurled by Causeway in NK league 16th June'09 Kilmoyley travelled to Causeway on Tuesday evening to take on the locals, but came away empty handed. Despite giving their best to the end, Kilmoyley were outplayed in most sectors and only for some brilliant goalkeeping by Emmet Meehan, the deficit could have been much greater. The first half was a very low scoring affair, and although Kilmoyley only managed one pointed free they were still only four points adrift at the break. Unfortunately, the one way traffic continued towards the Kilmoyley goals in the second half, but the defence continued to battle with Eoin McCarthy and Paudie Godley outstanding. The lack of a physical presence up front for Kilmoyley cost them a number of scores, and two points in the second half was scant reward for their efforts. In the end, Causeway deserved their win, but there wil be better days ahead for this Kilmoyley team. Kilmoyley players Emmet Meehan, Fiachra King, Eoin McCarthy, Liam Claffey, Maurice O'Connor, Shane Monahan, Sean Curran, Paudie Godley, Jordan Brick, Robert Collins, Robert McElligott, Darren Godley, Eamon Dowling, Kieran McCarthy, David McCarthy, Robert Harrington, Sean Regan, Richard Flaherty, Ronan Godley, Philip Flaherty

Kilmoyley seniors win in county league 15th June'09 Kilmoyley's first game in the county league was away to Crotta on Monday evening. As has been the case in this fixture over the past few seasons, this game severly lacked quality, and in the end Kilmoyley were thankful to come away with its first two points of the campaign. Played in wonderful sunshine, Kilmoyley started brightly and scored 1-1 inside the first couple of minutes, Edward Fitzgerald scoring the goal. With Tom Murnane dominating at midfield and James McCarthy solid at number 6, Kilmoyley's defence was rarely troubled early on. Brendan Harris was deadly accurate with frees to give Kilmoyley a comfortable lead at the break. Crotta only managed three points in the opening period.
The second half saw more competitive hurling but with little quality as both sides struggled to play any type of free flowing hurling. Crotta battled back and were rewarded with two goals in quick succession, but sub Maurice Murnane quickly replied with a low angled shot to the net. A third Crotta goal left four points between the teams at the end.

Kilmoyley hurler gets married 13th June'09 Congratulations to Kilmoyley hurler Padraig O'Sullivan and Ballylongford native Elizabeth Fennel who married on Saturday. Padraig is the winner of five county championship medals and a Munster senior league title. Congratulations to both and best wishes from Kilmoyley hurling club.

Kerry hurlers lose to impressive Carlow 13th June'09 This was the classic game of two halves as the Kerry hurlers relinquished a three point half time lead to last year's winners Carlow, and concede five second half goals to bow out of the competition. Despite this disappointing end to their season, the hurlers will be pleased that some progress was made this year, and there is certainly a good platform to build on next year. James McCarthy scored Kerry's opening goal to give them a great start and Kerry found themselves 1-8 to 0-5 ahead as half time approached. But a 20 metre free by Carlow rattled the net to leave only three points in it.
The Barrowsiders moved into a higher gear from the restart and put the homeside on the back foot for the next twenty, when Kerry scored their first point. Centre back John Rodgers gave a man of the match display as he stopped numerous Kerry attacks. A late Kerry goal could not hide the gulf in class between the teams, as the final score ended Kerry 2-11 Carlow 6-10.

Kerry hurlers still in Christy Ring 6th June'09 The Kerry hurlers are still in the Christy Ring Cup after a dramatic extra-time draw at Dr. Cullen park. A late Shane Brick goal in normal time levelled matters, and thankfully Carlow missed a '65 with the last puck of normal time to send the game into extra time. Both sides scored only two points each in extra time however as the winter-like weather conditions took its toll. Great performances from Kilmoyley's Colin Harris and James McCarthy helped Kerry earn this impressive draw.
Despite not winning, this is a great result for Kerry hurling, and should give the team great hope and confidence going into next week's replay.

Defeat for U12s 5th June'09 Kilmoyley lost out to St. Brendans by the narrowest of margins of 1-4 to 1-3 in the Division 2 semi-final on Friday. Despite a great defensive display, Kilmoyley could not create enough scoring opportunities to give them the win. St. Brendans now meet Dr. Crokes in the final.

U13s win in NK league 2nd June '09 Kilmoyley's Under 13s won their first game of Division 1 of the North Kerry U13 league at Kilmoyley on Tuesday evening despite a shakey start against a spirited Abbeydorney side. The visitors started better in the sweltering sunshine thanks to a goal from Michael O'Leary, who went on to score all his sides' scores of 4-4. Kilmoyley replied with a goal by Jordan Brick, who finished with 3-3 himself. A Darren Godley point put Kilmoyley into the lead but O'Leary was very impressive in the first half and scored 3-4 in total to give his side a five point advantage at the break.
Kilmoyley upped their effort in the second half and were lead by the impressive Robert Collins and Paudie Godley. Emmet Meehan and David McCarthy made notable contributions up front for the winners and helped steer their side to a two point lead as the game reached the third quarter. But O'Leary had other ideas as he stormed through the Kilmoyley defence to raise the net and give his side the lead once again. But closing scores from Jordan Brick (1-2) and Meehan (1-0) secured the win for Kilmoyley on a scoreline of Kilmoyley 5-5 Abbeydorney 4-4. Kilmoyley team Emmet Meehan, Liam Claffey, Paudie Godley, Fiachra King, Maurice O'Connor, Shane Monahan, Robert Collins, Robert McElligott, Jordan Brick (captain), Eamon Dowling, Eoin McCarthy, Darren Godley, Sean Curran, Michael Leen, David McCarthy, Philip Flaherty, Tomas Curran, Ronan Godley.

U14 County league finals 31st May'09 In division 2 of the County league Dingle overcame favourites Kenmare/Kilgarvan in the final by 1-4 to 0-9. In the Division 1 final, St. Brendans continued their unbeaten run with a 4-5 to 0-8. Both finals were played at Austin Stack's park Tralee.

Kerry hurlers reach Christy Ring semi 24th May'09 Thanks to the contribution of eight Kilmoyley hurlers and fifteen points from Shane Brick, the Kerry hurlers advanced to the semi finals of the Christy Ring Cup for the first time with this 4-21 to 2-12 win over Derry at Mullingar. Boss Mossy O'Carroll will be delighted that his side finished strongly, and although they will be facing competition holders Carlow in the semi-final, Kerry will be hoping for a similar performance. Well done to all.

U14s disappoint in Div 2 semi 24th May'09 Kilmoyley's Under 14s made an unsuccessful trip to Killarney on Sunday as they last 4-14 to 0-3 to Dr.Crokes in the County league division 2 semi-final. Kilmoyley held their own in the early stages, but the home side showed greater hunger and enthusiasm and soon took a stranglehold on proceedings. A number of injuries to Kilmoyley players did not help, but Crokes were better by far throughout the field and deserved the win. There will be better days ahead for this Kilmoyley team, but they have to show that when things don't go their way, they are willing to put in an extra effort.

U14s no match for Kenmare/Kilgarvan 19th May'09 Despite a very committed performance Kilmoyley's U14 team was completely outclassed by Kenmare/ Kilgarvan in their final league game on Sunday evening. As is the way with travelling teams, Kilmoyley were slow out of the blocks and the Kilmoyley goals were under severe pressure from the first whistle. But our fullback line was tremendous throughout, as was keeper Emmett Meehan who brought off some fantastice saves. This is an impressive Kenmare/ Kilgarvan side with many talented players in the team who were capable of picking off points from distance while under pressure. Kilmoyley opened its account after ten minutes with a pointed free by Niall Meehan, by which time we were three points in arrears. The physical presence of the home side's full forward line eventually told when they scored the first of their goals on the quarter hour. But in fairness to Kilmoyley, the players stuck to their task and were rewarded with a well worked goal finished by Jordan Brick and we were unlucky on two further occassions not to add to our tally. By half time, Kilmoyley were behind 3-7 to 1-3, Kilmoyley's other two points coming from Niall Meehan and Jordan Brick.
The home side started the second half where they left off with a fine point, but Kilmoyley replied almost immediately with a wonderful long range effort by young Brick. Despite the best efforts of young Robert Collins and Maurice O'Connor, Kilmoyley could not stem the flow of Kenmare's attacks for whom Aidan Quinlan was outstanding. Kilmoyley goalkeeper Emmett Meehan was the busiest player on the pitch and there was only so much he could do. Kilmoyley did add another goal through Jordan Brick who had a fine game, and there was certainly no shame on the part of any of the Kilmoyley players who despite this heavy defeat had already qualified for the semi finals of the competition.

Intermediates win on the road 13th May'09 Our Intermediate's made a long but worthwhile trip to Kenmare on Wednesday to take on the home side in the county league. Kilmoyley were under pressure in the early stages and found it difficult to gain momentum against a determined Kenmare side. Kilmoyley's first score settled the side and they went on to play a hard and fast brand of hurling. The loss of centreback Joe Murnane to injury in the second period meant that Kilmoyley had a hill to climb. But climb it they did, and they finished with three points to spare 1-12 to 1-9.

Brave effort by U16s not enough 12th May'09 Kilmoyley's U16s can be pleased with their great effort against Ballyheigue in the county league final at Causeway. They were beaten by the better team on the day and Ballyheigue deserved their win. But, if Kilmoyley had a bit more luck and if the ball had broken more kindly at times, the result could have been different. Ballyheigue had an ideal start and scored an early goal before Kilmoyley found some momentum to bring them back into the game. Then, just before the break Ballyheigue added a second goal to give them a four point half time lead.
All seemed lost for Kilmoyley at the start of the second half when they conceded a third goal. But a great Daniel Collins goal a minute later raised their hopes again. Kilmoyley stuck to their task and with Dougie Fitzell outstanding at centre back, all scoring threats from Ballyheigue were quashed. Meanwhile Kilmoyley's forwards were opening Ballyheigue's defence, but could get past a resolute keeper on a number of occassions. Four points brought Kilmoyley within sight of the win, but the full exertion of their effort began to tell as Ballyheigue finished with late points to seal the win.
Well done to both sides for a very entertaining and high quality game of hurling, and it showed why a number of players on show won All Ireland vocational schools medals earlier in the year.

Tipp star shines for Kerry hurlers 11th May'09 With the help of former Tipperary hurler Evan Sweeny and seven Kilmoyley players, the Kerry hurlers won their first competitive game of the year under Mossy Carroll and in the process qualified for the next round of the Christy Ring cup following their 3-11 to 1-16 win over Mayo at Austin Stack park today. James McCarthy and Shaun Young scored two of Kerry's goals while Shane Brick added five of his sides points. Billy Brick switched to defence in the second half and made numerous clearances to help give his side a win point win. Well done to all involved.

U14s record third league win 8th May'09 Kilmoyley's under 14s continued their recent good form with a 5-8 to 1-2 win over a spirited Abbeydorney side. Despite the strong wind, these sides served up a very skillfull and high quality game with some wonderful scores. Kilmoyley started brightly with two quick points from Niall Meehan and Shane Monahan. But Abbeydorney then settled to bring out the best from Kilmoyley 'keeper Emmet Meehan. At the other end of the field Niall Meehan was trying hard and was rewarded for his effort with a well taken goal after ten minutes. The Kilmoyley defence was very solid throughout and all six battled and tackled with great effect. Our midfield pairing of Robert Collins and Paudie Godley worked tirelessly against tough opponents, while the forwards battled in the difficult conditions to earn their scores. Kilmoyley widened the gap shortly after with an opportunist goal kicked to the net by Jordan Brick and he added his second before the break while Paudie O'Connor added a long range free. Abbeydorney recorded one point in the first half.
Kilmoyley continued to dominate in the second half despite the brave efforts of Anthony Rigney, Colm McCarthy and David Egan. Two further points by Jordan Brick, and late goals by Mark Griffin and Paudie O'Connor sealed the win for Kilmoyley. But Abbeydorney finished with a late goal themselves to leave the final score Kilmoyley 5-8 to 1-2. Well done to all players for a great effort. kilmoyley team :- Emmet Meehan, Fiachra King, Eoin McCarthy, Sean Curran, Darren Godley, Paudie O'Connor (1-1), Maurice O'Connor, Robert Collins, Paudie Godley, Robert McElligott (0-1), Shane Monahan(0-2), Jordan Brick (2-2), Liam Claffey, Niall Meehan(1-2), Jack Sheehy, Mark Griffin(1-0), Eamon Dowling.

GAA's 125 years celebration 7th May'09 The Seniors and Intermediates will play a challenge game at the sportsfield on Sunday at 12 mid day to celebrate the GAA's 125 year existence, while the underage hurlers from age 6 to twelve will be showing their hurling skills from 11 o'clock. Everybody is welcome to the field.

Hurler's play Mayo in Christy Ring 7th May'09 The Kerry senior hurlers take on Mayo in the first round of this year's Christy Ring cup in Tralee on Sunday with seven Kilmoyley hurlers on the starting team. Shane Brick makes a welcome return to the team at centre forward while James Godley (fullback), Tom Murnane capt. (centre back) and James McCarthy (full forward) fill the other central positions.
Despite a disappointing league campaign where Kerry lost all its games, there were promising signs of improvement and spirit towards the end of the campaign. It is hoped that the team can carry this momentum into the championship and put itself in a position of winning the title for the first time.

Under 16s reach final in style 7th May'09 Inspired by full back David Ryan, Kilmoyley's under 16s advanced to the final of the Lee Strand County league against Ballyheigue next Tuesday. Ryan was a rock throughout the game but shone in the second half especially when all was thrown at him. At the other end of the field Luke Fitzell was also in brilliant form scoring three goals as Kilmoyley enjoyed a 3-12 to 0-4 win in very blustery and cold conditions at Ballyheigue. Well done to all players and good luck.
Meanwhile the Intermediates' county league fixture against Causeway did not progress as Causeway failed ti field a team.

Under 16s into semifinal 5th May'09 Despite losing to Causeway by 2-8 to 1-10 in their last league game today, Kilmoyley's under 16s still advance to the league semi finals and now play Ballyduff this Thursday in Ballyheigue. Playing into the breeze in the first half, Kilmoyley played with great determination and only trailed by two points at the break, thanks to some great defending by the full back line. Two second half goals by the visitors left Kilmoyley trailing, and despite a late Daniel Collins goal and a flurry of points Kilmoyley were unable to edge in front. But they will not be too disappointed with the defeat and will be hoping to overturn the result if both teams advance to the final next Tuesday.

Under 14s win in County league 4th May '09 The Under 14s had a great win over Dr. Crokes at home on Monday evening on a scoreline of 4-9 to 5-2. Dr. Crokes, who were playing with Laune Rangers in the competition were physically strong in their middle line but the Kilmoyley players better striking and score taking was the difference between the sides. Kilmoyley faced a strong breeze in the first half but they opened the scoring through two Niall Meehan points. Crokes replied with a goal and two points as their big players dominated. Fullback Eoin McCarthy made numerous clearances and he got great help from his corner backs Fiachra King and Sean Curran. Jordan Brick made a great catch to win a free which Niall Meehan converted, and he added another minutes later to narrow the gap. Shane Monahan was playing well at wing forward while Paudie O'Connor was giving it everything at centre back. But Kilmoyley conceded a late goal to leave them four points adrift at the break.
An early Kilmoyley point, brilliantly setup by Robert McElligott reduced the deficit. A minute later a Paudie O'Connor free went to the net to level the game and moments later Niall Meehan scored his first goal to give Kilmoyley the lead. Dr. Crokes replied almost immediately to level the game once again as the game moved into the final quarter of a very entertaining game. The Kilmoyley forwards began to win frees which were converted to give their side a four point lead. Goals from Niall Meehan and Jordan Brick looked to have clinched the win for Kilmoyley but credit to Crokes who battled back with two points of their own to leave four points between the sides at the end.
Well done to all the players who gave it everything in their best display of the year. A feature of Kilmoyley's play was their excellent fielding and the brilliant play by their younger hurlers. Kilmoyley players :-Liam Claffey, Fiachra King, Eoin McCarthy, Sean Curran, Emmet Meehan, Paudie O'Connor, Maurice O'Connor, Paudie Godley, Jordan Brick, Robert Collins, Robert McElligott, Shane Monahan, Darren Godley, Niall Meehan, Jack Sheehy (capt), Eamon Dowling, Mark Griffin.

Minors and Under 16s advance 28th April'09 The minors have qualified to meet St. Brendans in the county league final, while the under 16s have also advanced to the semi-finals even though they still have one rounf of games to go.
Meanwhile the Seniors have advanced to the final of the 2008 Munster league where they will play Ballyduff Upper of Waterford.

Under 14s secure first County league win 26th April'09 Despite the terrible weather and wet underfoot conditions, these sides served up a very entertaining and competitive game. Although the final scoreline suggests a comfortable win for the home side, it was anything but, as they were made to work to the final whistle for this win as two late Kilmoyley goals decided this tie.
Kilmoyley started brightly as Niall Meehan continued his good form with two early goals and a point. But centre back Dillon O'Regan was outstanding at this stage as he foiled many of the home sides’ attacks, and setup their opening points of the half. A third Niall Meehan goal along with a Paudie O’Connor point gave Kilmoyley a further advantage. Centre forward Robert McElligott worked very hard for Kilmoyley while Robert Collins was as dependable as ever. Crotta/Duagh replied with another point to stay in touch as they faced the second half with the aid of the breeze.
Kilmoyley stretched their advantage with a well worked Eoin McCarthy point, but the visitors took control for the next ten minutes with a goal and two points to narrow the deficit. But Paudie Godley and Sean Curran were outstanding for Kilmoyley in the half back line at this stage and they helped to steady the side. Jordan Brick and Niall Meehan added two late goals for Kilmoyley to seal the win but from one to fifteen it was an excellent display to score their first points of the campaign. Final score Kilmoyley 5-7 Crotta/Duagh 1-5

Last Thursday the Kilmoyley Under 14s played Dingle in the first round of the county league division 2. Despite a brave second half fightback by the home side, Dingle were always in control of this re-arranged county league encounter. The visitors were two goals to the good inside five minutes as they completely dominated Kilmoyley in the wet conditions. Dingle added some excellent points to stretch their lead before Niall Meehan scored the first of his four goals to bring Kilmoyley into the game on the quarter hour. Despite the rain, Dingle continued to play some excellent hurling with Barry O'Sullivan brilliant throughout. Only some brave defending by Paudie Godley kept Kilmoyley in the game, as Meehan added two more goals before the break. But further scores by Dingle gave them a comfortable 5-5 to 3 goals halftime lead.
The second half was much more competitive and there was far more urgency about Kilmoyley's but Dingle stretched their lead with the opening point of the half. Kilmoyley dominated the game for the next quarter as they narrowed the deficit to two goals. But Dingle found their way in the closing period to add further scores and this entertaining encounter ended with a win for the boys from the West. Well done to both teams in the poor conditions.
Kilmoyley players involved in the games were Emmet Meehan, Fiachra King, Eoin McCarthy, Sean Curran, Jordan Brick, Shane Monahan, Paudie Godley, Maurice O'Connor, Robert Collins, Paudie O'Connor, Darren Godley, Robert McElligott, Eamon Dowling, Liam Claffey, Jack Sheehy, Niall Meehan, Mark Griffin.

Mixed fortunes for Kilmoyley teams 21st April'09 The Seniors threw away a five point half time lead to Abbeydorney in the final of the North Kerry league, and ended with a share of the spoils on a scoreline of Kilmoyley 2-9 Abbeydorney 1-12. Match Report soon.
Kilmoyley's Under 16s continued on their winning ways with a well earned 3-14 to 3-7 win over neighbours St. Brendans in round 3 of the Lee Strand on Tuesday evening and advanced to the semifinal of the competition. A high level of skill was produced in this game that saw this encounter in the balance up until halftime with the score then Saints 2-3 to Kilmoyley 3-5 with all but one score coming from play and that came 4 minutess from halftime.
The 2nd half started as lively as the 1st but a lack of discipline by the home side was to cost them in the end. Kilmoyley hit a purple patch hitting 5 unanswered points before the Saints' next point. Both teams swapped scoring from there to the end in this pulsating encounter. Some serious heroics in goals by Kilmoyley keeper Paudie O'Connor was one of the main reasons for their victory with score of the night from Vincent Savage who connected in the air perfectly for his 1st goal. We wish a speedy recovery to Dougie Fitzell who missed the game through injury. Final score Kilmoyley 3-14 St Brendan's 3-07.
Kilmoyley Team:Paudie O' Connor, Niall Meehan, Coleman Savage, John Godley, James Murphy, David Ryan, Eoin McCarthy, Flor McCarthy, Luke Fitzell(7pts 1f), Peter Crowe, Daniel Collins 3pts), Sean Nolan(1g), Pierce Claffey, Vincent Savage(2-03 3f), Jordan Brick, Robert McElligott.

Kilmoyley winner of Feile skills 12th April'09 Congratulations to Kilmoyley's Paudie O'Connor who won the Feile na nGael skills competition at Abbeydorney today by a comfortable margin of five points.

Seniors qualify for NK league final 11th April'09 Kilmoyley have reached the North Kerry "A" league final as a result of their win over Ballyduff in Kilmoyley this evening on a scoreline of 1-18 to 2-10.

MATCH REPORT Kilmoyley now meet Abbeydorney in the "A" final, on Monday week in Abbeydorney at 7.45 as part of a double bill.

Under 16s earn second win 7th April'09 Despite the very blustery conditions Kilmoyley played an excellent brand of hurling to comfortably win this County league home tie against Kenmare/Kilgarvan on a scoreline of 5-11 to 0-4. The visitors used the advantage of the wind in the first half and opened the scoring with two points to settle quickly after their long journey. But Kilmoyley's reply was immediate as they levelled the scoring through Vincent Savage (free) and Daniel Collins. Kilmoyley then raced into the lead as Savage scored the first of his two goals, and Pierse Claffey added another with a lovely overhead flick. Kilmoyley were completely on top at this stage and five minutes from the break Savage scored his second goal. Although the visitors closed the half with two pointed frees, Kilmoyley led comfortably at half time by 3-2 to 0-4.
Kilmoyley started the second half with two wides but Vincent Savage converted an early free to stretch Kilmoyley's lead. The same player added another from play shortly after and the game effectively ended as a contest when Daniel Collins' long delivery found the net. He then added two further points while brother Luke raced through to score a fine goal himself. Kilmoyley finished the scoring with further points from Pierse Claffey, Dougie Fitzell and the Collins' brothers with one apiece. In the end it was a comfortable win for Kilmoyley but both teams must be commended for an excellent effort in such poor weather conditions. Kilmoyley team Paudie O'Connor, Niall Meehan, David Ryan, John Godley, Eoin McCarthy, Dougie Fitzell, James Murphy, Florence McCarthy, Luke Fitzell, Peter Crowe, Daniel Collins, Pierse Claffey, Jordan Brick, Vincent Savage, Paudie Godley, Robert McElligott.

HURLING CLUB DRAW30th March '09 Kilmoyley Hurling Club is holding an Easter Draw to raise funds for the club. It is hoped to get a much support as possible for the draw.

Kerry hurlers impress in defeat30th March '09 The Kerry Senior hurlers will be disappointed that they lost their encounter with Antrim at Cusack park having scored 4-14. Kilmoyley's Pat Flaherty scored the opening goal while Shane Brick added eight points, but it wasn't enough as Antrim scored 3-19. Kerry's are relegated to Division three next year but have a final game against Westmeath at home next weekend and hope to end the campaign without a duckegg.

Defeat in Feile QF29th March '09 As the scoreline suggests, this quarter final tie was a very one sided affair with favourites St. Brendans easily advancing to the next phase of the competition at the expense of a very young Kilmoyley side. There was little between the sides in the early stages as both sides battled to gain decent posession. But once scored their first point after ten minutes they took charge of the game and punished Kilmoyley for any mistakes despite the best efforts of Kilmoyley's half back line of Paudie and Maurice O’Connor and Jordan Brick. Two first half goals for St. Brendans stretched their advantage while their impressive midfielder Fionan Horgan setup numerous attacks. A well worked team score finished by Eoin McCarthy point proved to be Kilmoyley’s only score of the half. The second half was less than a minute old when a third goal ended the game as a contest as St. Brendans eased into the semi-finals. It was a disappointing game for these young boys but they can be pleased with their efforts in getting to this stage of the competition and know that there will be better days ahead. Training will continue for under 12s and 14s on Sunday morning at 11am. Kilmoyley panel: Sean Curran, Shane Monahan, Niall Meehan, Fiachra King, Maurice O'Connor, Paudie O'Connor, Jordan Brick, Eoin McCarthy, Paudie Godley, Kieran McCarthy, Robert McElligott, Robert Collins, Eamon Dowling, Jack Sheehy, Liam Claffey, Darren Godley, Mark Griffin

National league in Kilmoyley16th March '09 The Kerry hurlers play Laois this weekend in the Allianz National league in Kilmoyley, the first National league game to be played outside Austin Stack park for a number of years.

But it is hoped that a switch of venue to North Kerry will improve the team's fortunes, albeit against a quality side like Laois.
Two North Kerry league games have been cancelled in the past few weeks to give the field the best opportunity to be in top condition for the fixture. No doubt Michael Regan will once again have the Lerrig sod in top shape. Kilmoyley has a number of players on the Kerry panel.

Daly and Meyler to train Kilmoyley teams!!2nd Feb '09 There was great news for all Kilmoyley hurling supporters from the Kilmoyley hurling club AGM, held at the clubrooms last Saturday with the news that former Kilmoyley and Wexford senior trainer John Meyler had indicated that he would be available to coach the minor team this year. Meyler of course led Kilmoyley to its four in a row at the start of the decade, and then led the Wexford hurlers for two campaigns. The news is a huge boost for the club, as we now have two of Ireland's best coaches in our ranks. It is now up to the players to put the effort in at training while supporters are asked to do their bit by helping out in any possible, be it helping at the field with the underage teams, or transporting players to games. In his address, club Chairman Sean Murnane asked for more help in running the club, whether people have ten minutes ar a few hours to give, all are welcome.
