It’s taking place this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in our usual training grounds.

MÍCHEÁL HAYES – A TRIBUTE FROM A PUPIL: ‘Beidh cuimhne go héag agam ar dhul suas go dtí tigh Mhíchíl Uí Aodha gach Céadaoin agus mé ag ullmhú don Ardteist. Bhí cúigear againn ina sheomra suite ag labhairt Gaeilge leis. Thiteas i ngrá leis an teanga agus mé ag éisteacht leis….na nathanna cainte agus na seanfhocail a bhí aige! Deirtear go bhfuil an Ghaeilge deacair mar theanga ach bhí slí aige chun í a dhéanamh simplí agus éasca! D’fhreastail gach cara atá agam ar a ranganna….fir agus mná agus fiú daoine nach raibh suim acu sa teanga….agus ba mhór an tairbhe dúinn é! Bhí meas mór acu ar Mhícheál agus tá fós. Níor thuigeas ag an am gur thraenáil sé Mikey Sheehy agus Ger Power agus laochra peile eile nach iad. B’fhear iontach ildánach é. Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann. RIP.’ (A.Breathnach a chuir peann le pár).
KERRY TEAMS: (i) What an evening in Connolly Park! The whole Kerry team, including 9 Tralee players (4 of them proud Rockmen), arrived with ‘Sam.’ How nice to welcome home our own Joe O’Connor, Jack Ó Sé, Greg Horan and Dylan Ó Cathasaigh. Everybody was delighted when Captain Joe spoke! Jack O’Connor also addressed the assembly and praised several Rock leaders, including Liam and Shane Lynch, Wayne Quillinan, Ger O’Keeffe agus an ‘Star’ féin. Jack used the word ‘ablach’ to describe Kieran Donaghy; that word has several meanings but ‘hulk’ is the most appropriate one! (ii) Mór-chomhbhrón le hAoife Ní Dhuilleáin, le Dara Ó Lúing (agus a chomhbhádóirí, Déaglán Ó Cuill agus Gearóidín Ní Shé) agus le Cailíní Peile Chiarraí, nár éirigh leo i gCraobhchluiche na hÉireann i bPeil Ghaelach na mBan i gcoinne na Mí Dé Domhnaigh seo caite. We look forward to 2023.
