Replying To bennybunny: "Yes they did. They also had some notable league victories in that time. They beat Offaly who were AI champions. Yesterday was a good victory. They have fine hurlers. Always had. However, they don't enough of them. There is no hurling in West Kerry or Mid Kerry. As far as I know, the South Kerry team has disbanded meaning no hurling there either. I think there is one team in East Kerry (maybe two -do Dr Crokes still field a hurling team) and two in the Kenmare District. There is one very strong area north of Tralee. This has been strong for a long time. However, since the 1990s, there's not been a massive upsurge in playing numbers. For a real breakthrough, this needs to happen. Yesterday was very good but not a sign that they are here as a hurling force" I think Crokes are still hurling Benny, Tralee Town have setup a team now called Parnells, I think Kilgarvan have a hurling team as well.

Replying To Fionn: ";o) Super result for the Kerry Hurlers. In fairness they have put a huge effort down there into the small ball game. Fair play, and some fine hurlers also. Massive improvements... Pity Kilkenny couldn't put a similar effort in with their footballers......!" Great result and will give the hurlers great confidence although we know Tipp very understrength. I don't agree with you too often Fionn but you are correct about Kilkenny and more should be done by the county to improve football standards.

Replying To Canuck: "It may not be an All-Ireland or Munster championship but like '93 when they beat an up and coming star studded Waterford team the elation they must feel is tremendous. No begrudgary only encouragement to make this a building block, not just only a memory." To those who said this doesnt mean anything because its January and largely Tipps second team you just dont know anything about hurling.The strength in depth in Tipp Kilkenny Limerick Galway and Cork is massive.Well done to Kerry a terrific win and we look forward to seeing you in Mullingar in the first round of the league jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 1456 - 09/01/2022 16:24:46 2394230 Link
A fantastic weekend for Kerry hurling! Kerry bet Tipperary yesterday for the first time ever in senior hurling and then today Kilmoyley the kerry hurling champions are the first Kerry hurling team to win a Munster club hurling title today beating Cork Premier Intermediate champions Courcey Rovers in the Munster Intermediate hurling final at the Gaelic grounds in Limerick. Kerry hurling rising it seems! Past hurler (None) - Posts: 725 - 09/01/2022 16:46:22 2394240 Link

I spend lots of time telling people how good Carlow, Westmeath and Kerry are at hurling and I get blank expressions from people thinking Im joking. Well done to Kerry and we will see yourselves and Westmeath in the league. carlovia (None) - Posts: 1517 - 09/01/2022 17:12:03 2394244 Link
Tipp must have fielded their Camogie team :D Seriously, well done, mad result! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8591 - 09/01/2022 17:27:12 2394248 Link
Replying To realdub: "Tipp must have fielded their Camogie team :D Seriously, well done, mad result!" It's not a mad result as Kerry are a strong hurling team. In the last few years Leix beat Dublin in championship. Antrim beat Wexford in the league. Carlow drew with Galway in the league and Westmeath ran Cork to a couple of points. They are good hurlers. carlovia (None) - Posts: 1517 - 09/01/2022 17:56:28 2394253 Link
Replying To KingdomBoy1: "I think Crokes are still hurling Benny, Tralee Town have setup a team now called Parnells, I think Kilgarvan have a hurling team as well." Kilgarvan definitely have hurling. Always had in my memory. It's kind of an outlier as dome of the neighbouring clubs are in a part of Cork with little hurling. Austin Stacks used to have hurling? Do they still ? oDid Parnells replace that or compliment that? Well done to Kilmoyley today to. That was a cracking game. Courceys were leading done the home straight. Could not finish the job and Kilmoyley were the better team in ET and deserved to win. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 09/01/2022 18:38:03 2394261 Link

I wouldn't put Antrim and Laois in the same bracket as Kerry in Hurling though, I still think its a mad restult, sorry! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8591 - 09/01/2022 19:42:05 2394276 Link

Not sure if Stacks still hurling but I think Tralee Parnells were set up as there are a few football clubs in Tralee and because of club loyalty players from other clubs did nt want to hurl with Stacks so this way they can play football with their own club and hurl with Parnells. Diarmuid Lyng from Wexford lives in Kerry now and is involved in Parnells. Great win for Kilmoyley and Kerry hurling. CiarraiMick (Dublin) - Posts: 3675 - 09/01/2022 19:52:17 2394281 Link
Tralee Parnells have been progressing from underage up for a good few years now. It'll become more evident over the next 5 to 10 years. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7842 - 10/01/2022 08:20:49 2394320 Link
Well deserved win and while Tipp were obviously not at full strength they still had a stong team named - a team full of players that we'd hope would make an impact this year. Serious weekend for Kerry hurling. Would anyone know how many Kilmoyely players are typically on the Kerry team? Makes Saturdays win more impressive. On a side note its shame to see Willie Connors pick upa bad injury before a big club football game next weekend. A huge error to bring him on in the first place and goes to show that football in Tipp is back near the doldrums it was in the Declan Browne era which is unfortunate. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 10/01/2022 08:36:51 2394323 Link

Thanks for the nice and very sporting comments ré Kerry hurling. I'd expect nothing less from Tipp.Agree totally about Tipp and football. It's such a pity as they have great talent. Wishing Willie Connors a speedy recovery. CiarraiMick (Dublin) - Posts: 3675 - 10/01/2022 09:35:32 2394328 Link

I see on FB they were formed in 2012 No harm in a town the size of Tralee, that they have a separate identity for hurling. Is there much of a crossover of players between the big football clubs with them I wonder? Do the football clubs cooperate with them? ATM, given their success, Rockies, Na Gaeil etc , are in a very strong position. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 10/01/2022 09:36:16 2394330 Link

They also have beaten Offaly, Westmeath and Carlow. carlovia (None) - Posts: 1517 - 10/01/2022 11:06:55 2394350 Link
Everyone knows Kerry have competed very well in the Joe McDonagh Cup and Division 2A in recent years. Kerry are consistently enough in the Top 14 in the country. Kilmoyley's success in winning the Munster Intermediate Hurling Championship has been coming for many years for the Kerry senior champion. People can now equate that the best Kerry clubs at the very least would be competitive in the intermediate championship of all other Munster counties. There is however still a gap between the Top 9 and the Next 9. It is to Kerry's credit however that they beat Tipperary on the same weekend as Kerry's best club won the Munster Intermediate Hurling Championship.

Sound man Benny, I'm not a big hurling fan, I'd watch a bit on the telly from time to time but hurling seems to be growing in the county, I can't ever see it taking off in places like South Kerry or back here in the wild West but it should in big urban areas like Tralee and Killarney.
