Rally One hundred and fifty cars participated, in The BioTech Kerry Winter Rally run in glorious conditions, , Which commenced from Banna Beach Hotel, Ardfert early on Sunday morning 13th November for four very technical stages in the Knocknagoshel and Lyrecrompane of North Kerry. But the biggest surprise on Stage Two was Ardfert driver John Kearney navigated by Kilflynn’s Denis O’Connell setting a blistering time through the test to jump from joint third to overall leader. Kearney set this time despite catching a slower competitor through the stage costing even more valuable time.

Kevin O’Donoghue moved into second place, taking three seconds from Alan Ring while Kevin Kelleher lost 12 seconds after clouting a bank, demoting him to fourth. Tadgh Lenihan remained in fifth place after a steady run through stage three, while Donegan, navigated by Tralee’s Jakes Kelly, maintained their sixth place. En- route to stage four, Kearney suffered his only major problem in the rally. The fuel pump started losing pressure on the road section but himself and co-driver Denis O’Connell were able to fix the problem. Nevertheless he coasted through the final stage to his first ever win. Kevin Kelleher launched But the day belonged to John Kearney and his navigator Dennis O’Connell. Their PMG tyres Escort brought them a memorable and popular victory in the Kerry Winter Rally. This is the first time that a Kerry Motor Club driver has won the home event since Brendan Brosnan’s victory in 1996.

Willie Falvey Crotta hurling recently lost another one of its 1950 "greats" with the passing of the Willie Falvey, Carrigcannon Lyrecrompane on Tuesday 27th September. Willie who came from a proud hurling family was a devoted and loyal servant of Crotta throughout his lifetime and nothing gave him more happiness than the sight of the Green and Red Jersey involved on County Final day. Even declining health did not prevent his attendance in 1998 and 1999 Finals. Though his hurling career with Crotta was shortened due his moving to the capital while still in his prime, he was still immensely proud of his contribution to the Crotta club. Willie was one of that elite group of Crotta players to win successive County Championship medals in 1950/51. He was one of the stalwarts of that side excelling at corner back in both of those finals, A quality hurler noted for his tenacity forwards found scores very difficult to come by when facing Willie. In the late fifties Willie played his last championship game when along Mikey Joe King -the other corner back of the 1951 team, they came out of retirement to lend some experience to a young Kilflynn Side. In 2003 Willie was the recipient of the Crotta Hurling club Hall of Fame award in recognition of his service to the club and support over the years. Ar dheis De go Raibh a Anam.

Lixnaw 0-17 Abbeydorney 0-6 The gamble of selecting inter-county football aces Paul Galvin and Eamon Fitzmaurice paid off handsomely for Lixnaw's hurlers yesterday as both starred in a one-sided AIB Kerry SHC final replay in Tralee. Fitzmaurice proved the midfield powerhouse for the new champions as he broke the stranglehold that Abbeydorney's Brian Donovan enjoyed in the drawn game, while Galvin excelled in attack, landing five points in an all-action display. The one sour note for the winners was the leg break suffered by Maurice Corridan - whose goal gave Lixnaw a second chance - on the eve of his planned departure to Australia for 12 months. There was a much better tempo to yesterday's replay, as Lixnaw raced into a 0-5 to 0-1 lead after just 13 minutes, with Fitzmaurice and Galvin driving their side forward. A succession of points from Enda Galvin (2), Cillian Fitzmaurice (2) and another from wing back Paudie Lyons had Lixnaw in the driving seat. Then when Lixnaw lost Maurice Corridan in the 16th minute, it seemed to halt their progress as Ivan mcCarthy and Ian Maunsell with two frees closed the gap to 0-7 to 0-4 at half-time. However, Lixnaw upped the tempo again in the second period with Eamon Fitzmaurice giving a powerful display at midfield and as Paul and Enda Galvin ran riot in the half forward line, they shredded a hapless Abbeydorney defence with a succession of magnificent points. Galvin, disappointed to be overlooked for the International Rules trip to Australia, took it out on the Abbeydorney rearguard, while Enda Galvin, Paudie Lyons, 16 year old James Flaherty and Fitzmaurice all added points as Lixnaw moved eight clear. They will now meet Tipperary champions Thurles Sarsfields in Semple Stadium on November 12th. Scorers for Lixnaw; P Galvin 0-5; E Galvin 0-3; J Flaherty 0-3 all frees, F Fitzmaurice 0-2 frees, P Lyons 0-2; E Fitzmaurice and C Fitzmaurice 0-1 each.

Next Draw:Sunday 9th October in McElligotts Bar,Jackpot €4900 03/10/2005 The Irish Examiner 03/10/2005 Galvin Point Saves Lixnaw LIXNAW 1-11 ABBEYDORNEY 2-8 Kerry footballer Paul Galvin produced a late equaliser for Lixnaw in this thrilling Kerry SHC final at Austin Stacks Park, Tralee yesterday. It was an enthralling contest throughout, as underdogs Abbeydorney hurled with a fierce hunger that almost took them to victory. Abbeydorney led by four points against 14-man Lixnaw but they conceded a late goal and a point and may ultimately pay the penalty in the replay. With Robert Murphy, Aidan Healy and Brian Donovan inspirational for Abbeydorney, the sides retired on level terms at 0-6 apiece at the break. Michael Conway landed three frees for Lixnaw and 16-year-old James Flaherty had a goal bound shot tipped over by Tommy O’Halloran. Abbeydorney then upped the tempo as Kieran Hannafin goaled two minutes after the restart and Lixnaw introduced Galvin from the bench. In the 42nd minute Kerry star Michael Conway was red-carded by Clare referee Rory Hickey, although it appeared his follow-through on ‘keeper O’Halloran was accidental. Despite that setback Lixnaw, with Maurice Corridan and Galvin to the fore, drew level at 0-10 to 1-7 with 10 minutes to go. But Abbeydorney, whose last championship title came in 1974, struck for a goal from Kieran Hannifin. An Ivan McCarthy point in the 57th minute pushed them four clear with time running out for their opponents.

Martina McGrath 30/09/2005 County Final Abbeydorney and Lixnaw Seniors hurlers will contest this year's A.I.B County Senior Championship final at Austin Stack's Park, Tralee on Sunday 2nd October. Abbeydorney last won the County title in 1974 (also their last appearance in a final) when they beat Austin Stack's in the final and they will be looking to bridge that 31 year gap when they face near neighbours Lixnaw in the final. Undoubtedly the hero of the hour for Abbeydorney in the '74 final was quick - silver Jack Condon whose hat-trick of goals will forever be associated with his team's memorable triumph. Lixnaw are seeking their first championship title since 1999, when they defeated Crotta after a replay. The last time Abbeydorney and Lixnaw met in a County final was in 1954 with victory going to Lixnaw on the 5-04 to 1-01 score line.

The second half was less than a minute old when Kingdom Boys got a third goal, and try as we might we could not get the equalizer which on the overall team performance, and a man of the match performance from Daniel Collins we richly deserved.

Unsung Hero of Kerry G.A.A Congratulations to Sonny Egan, Garrynagore on reaching the top five in the recent Radio Kerry Bank of Ireland sponsored competition. This honour was richly deserved as he has been the dynamo that has kept underage hurling alive and thriving in Crotta for many years. Long before the mobile phone Sonny could be seen travelling the highways and byways on his trusted Honda 50 bringing news of games and Fixtures to the youth of the area. His balancing act of carrying twenty Hurleys and fifteen helmets on the same machine bewildered and puzzled many. One of his proudest moments was when he led the 12 pioneering team to the Glens of Antrim to win the Tipperary Shield in the Feis Na Gleann competition. He has attended hundreds of meetings down through the years and the information he brought back was always factual and correct. He has given many years of enjoyment and happiness to the vast numbers who have visited his Rambling House He has been most generous with his time and efforts in helping to make our area a better place to live for both young and old. Long may he continue. 19/09/2005 Abbeydorney Reach First Decider In 31 Years ABBEYDORNEY 2-13 BALLYDUFF 1-8 Abbeydorney caused a major upset in yesterday's semi-final of the AIB Kerry SHC, beating hot favourites Ballyduff at Austin Stack Park Tralee to reach their first final since 1974. It was fully deserved as Ballyduff failed to hit the heights reached in beating four-in-a-row champions Kilmoyley at the quarterfinal stage. Abbeydorney were quickly out of the traps and once a 65 from sharpshooter Ian Maunsell went all the way to the net as early as the eighth minute, Ballyduff never recovered. It was an amazing reversal in form: Ballyduff looked so good against Kilmoyley it was difficult to imagine that they could perform so badly against an Abbeydorney side which didn't set the hurling world alight with wins over Crotta and St. Brendan's. However, full credit to the underdogs, who hurled with a determination and hunger Ballyduff just could not match. Abbeydorney had a team of heroes but their spine was so strong that they made Ballyduff look very ordinary. Tony Maunsell was a colossus at full back, while Aidan Healy was magnificent at centre back while Kieran Dineen and Brian O'Donovan dominated midfield. Ian Maunsell was deadly accurate in the half forward line while the experienced Tom O'Connell won lots of ball at full forward as Ballyduff laboured all over the field. After Ian Maunsell's goal Abbeydorney led 1-4 to 0-2 as they punished Ballyduff's indiscipline. Ballyduff rallied briefly as Mickey Boyle found the Abbeydorney net in the 13th minute but with Thomas O'Rourke missing vital frees, Abbeydorney lad 1-6 to 1-4 at the interval. Ballyduff were guilty of some bad shooting but Abbeydorney had the bit between the teeth and were not about to let go; it was a question of whether they had the self belief to finish the job, and the game was over as a contest when Kiernan Dineen finished to the Ballyduff net in the 42nd minute following a goalmouth scramble, giving Abbeydorney a 2-10 to 1-6 lead at the three-quarter stage. The traditional figthback that Ballyduff are renowned for never materialised as they only managed to add two more points in a frantic final quarter. Abbeydorney refused to wilt and at the final whistle they celebrated reaching their first county final in 31 years in some style. Scorers for Abbeydorney: I Maunsell 1-8 (1-7 frees), K Dineen 1-1, I McCarthy 0-2, K Hannifin and B Donovan 0-1 each. Scorers for Ballyduff: M Boyle 1-0, A Boyle 0-2, T O'Rourke 0-2 (0-1 free), B O'Sullivan 0-2 (0-1'65) M Hennessy and J Bunyan 0-1 each. BALLYDUFF: PJ Gorman, C Boyle, P Donegan, D Slattery, B O'Sullivan, D O'Grady, D Bowler, A Boyle, G O'Grady, J Bunyan, G O'Brien, B ~O'Grady, M Boyle, T O'Rourke, L Boyle.
