That's what the Kerry boys want you to think. It's a myth that they are a tiny club. They had some list of players listed in the programme for the All-Ireland series last year. Just look at their FB page and between mens and ladies they are similar to the likes of Clonoe in Tyrone.

Could be wrong but thought they had never won a junior before the Clifford lads came along? Anyway they'll probably win an AI intermediate this year anyway.

Will play in Div 2 next year for the first time ever.  Won junior for the first time last year.

By the way, Clifford parents met in Dublin while both working in Dept of Justice.  That was the Dept moved to Killarney a few decades ago....probably on a toss of a coin or some such government policy.  So the lads could have been born anywhere.   Except the wee six, obviously.

2023 All-Ireland series pairings:

Connacht v Munster
Leinster v Ulster

I believe Ulster's winners will play Britain's winners in the junior quarterfinal...although that needs to be confirmed by someone in the know.

For anyone that wants to know, the Kerry County Championship is at quarterfinal stage, with all 4 games this coming weekend 14/15 October:

Rathmore v Spa
East Kerry v St. Kieran's
Dingle v Templenoe
Mid Kerry v Na Gaeil

I predict wins for East Kerry, Dingle and Mid Kerry, with Rathmore/Spa too close to call.

If a Divisional team (East Kerry, St. Kieran's or Mid Kerry) win the County Championship, Dingle will represent Kerry in the Munster Club Championship as Dingle won the Senior Club Championship.

Here is where the remaining clubs finished in the 2023 County League:

Senior clubs:  Div 1 Dingle 5th, Rathmore 6th, Spa 8th.  Div 2 Na Gaeil 4th, Templenoe 5th.
Intermediate finalists: Milltown/Castlemaine 7th in Div 1, Fossa 2nd in Div 3.
Junior finalists: Ballymacelligott 4th in Div 1, Listowel Emmets 9th in Div 2.

Inter-county panel members, senior and U20, play no County League games with their respective clubs.

Hi all,

Annual CT showed nothing of any concern and blood tests all good as well. 

Weight doing well (88kg, which is about as fit as I've been in years).  Diet is good - low volume in comparison to past years, but all reasonably healthy stuff.  Still unable to digest raw vegetables and haven't considered having a steak dinner.  No desire to resume alcohol either.  Have the occasional poor night re bathroom frequency, but that is usually linked to a new food.  It takes a while to develop the ability to digest some new foods (leafy greens is current problem), but start with a very small portion, take a week off before next larger portion and inside a month I'm able to handle a standard (what I call small) portion comfortably enough.  I'll never munch on raw veg again, so healthy snacks are more or less out of my diet.  Places with veg not overly-cooked (think Chinese stir fry) are also out.  There is plenty left that I have no problems with - fish, chicken, pork, ground beef/turkey, potatoes, rice, pasta and so on.  Ice cream also goes down well.

Oncologist decided that next colonoscopy will be Summer 2025 (5 years after surgery) - a clear result at that time will see me completely discharged.  Another CT next summer with blood tests every six months is also planned in case anything pops up in the meantime.  Keeping fairly fit as well...walking a good bit up to 5 times a week helps a lot.

As always, I'm very grateful for all the support I've received from the gaaboard crew.  This place was a great place for me to visit for inspiration. 

Hope everyone is doing well - I don't post as much anymore (how many times do I have to explain how the Kerry Championship works?), but I do check in an odd time to see what the mood is among the GAA fraternity.  Better team won the All-Ireland final this year - them bookies are rarely too far off the mark.

Everyone take care and plan a colonoscopy if due one by age or family history - early detection is so important to a good outcome.
