Wednesday February 24 2010
THE Kerry senior hurlers travelled to Derry on Sunday last and defeated the home side in Celtic Park with a score of 3-13 to 1-9. Debutant Darragh O'Connell scored 2-4 in his first national league game and veteran John Mike Dooley scored Kerry's second goal. Despite conceding a penalty goal in the second half the men from the Kingdom went on to win well.
The team travel away again next weekend to play in Round 2. Their opponents will be Mayo in Castlebar at 2.30pm. We wish the team every success. THE Referee's Seminar's third and final In Service meeting for both Senior and Coiste Na nOg Referees will be held in the CYMS in Killorglin at 7.30pm on this coming Thursday night, February 24 for all Mid, South and West Kerry referees, plus any referee who did not attend the Tralee and Killarney sessions.
There will be a four night recruitment Seminar for new recruits, who are interested in taking up the whistle. Any clubs wishing to forward names, can do so, to Peter Twiss, County Secretary at the County Committee Office, Austin Stack Park, Tralee or by email to secretary.kerry@gaa.ie AN Information Seminar for Club Officers from the following areas – North Kerry Hurling and Football, Coiste Tra Li, St Brendans and West Kerry Board will be held in the Manor West Hotel Tralee next Thursday, February 25 starting at 7.30pm.
This seminar is aimed at new officers – specifically Chairmen, Secretaries, Treasurers, PROs and Club Registrars. While all new officers are urged to attend – any officer regardless of how long they are in a position are more than welcome to come along.
The purpose of the seminar is to help officers in their roles, giving general guidelines on good practice and most importantly dealing with any problems/issues that officers may have.
The seminar is being facilitated by Eibhir O Dee from Limerick and will be of benefit to all who attend.
For this Seminar the Chairman Secretary and Treasurers will be together, while the Club Registrars and PROs should go to the Pavilion Austin Stack Park where County PRO Maureen O'Shea and IT Chairman Brian O'Callaghan will conduct the session.
It is envisaged that the seminar in the Pavilion which also begins at 7.30pm will take at most one hour, while the session in the Manor West Hotel will be over by 9.30pm.
It would be very important that the person looking after Membership Registration, which has to be submitted online this year. All registrars attending the Meeting in Austin Stack Park is asked to bring his or her own laptop if possible.
For clubs from the South/Mid/East and Kenmare Board areas a similar seminar will be held in Killarney on Wednesday, March 3 again at 7.30pm – the venue to be confirmed. Where officers are not available to attend at their selected night they can of course attend on the second date.
