It was also interesting to hear about the purple jerseys,was that just the goalies one or did the whole team wear them?i myself remember playing in yellow jerseys (against Douglas)and also in white jerseys with a green hoop,was there any more deviation from the famed green and white?surely the likes of Barry Collins or the more ''mature'' members of the club would know.Well done to Jerry o Mahony who did a great St. Patrick on friday.

The list of people posting on this site reads like a list "has been's" of doheny

football...only joking...

Like Jaws has done, can Tim Buckley produce his own list of accolades from his playing days in

the green jersey? And, No Tim you can't count the 'Longest drop kick' award you won at training

one night...which by the way we let you win because you were the new boy.

 

Of course Tim has his own managerial career at the moment. Are you teaching your latest team of upstarts the techniques and benefits of the drop kick? I'm sure you are. Although it must be difficult in the current playing conditions.

Also turning in a five star performance that day was Cathal Crowley who had FOUR goals to his credit. For the record the team consisted of:

Kevin Crowley, Chris O' Donovan, Paddy Hayes, Neil Collins, Derry O' Mahony, John Collins, Cathal Kelleher, John Galvin, Sean Holland, Cathal Crowley, Tony Walsh, Elton, Lehane, John Lynch, John Hayden, Aiden Hayes.

The team was trained by Charlie Mc Carthy.

I would like to thank my former teammate on his kind words about my recent lotto win. I However take exception to his comment that i won nothing with the Dohenys/Sam Maguires during my not so illustrious career. The following are some of the medals that i remember winning.

3 no U12 Parish League (2 in the purple jerseys)

U14B Football league (Until we got thrown out for having an overage player)Who registered him???

U16A West Cork Football Championship 1988

U18B West Cork Hurling Championship 1990.

I retired then on medical grounds. The Doc diagnosed a weak kickout and said the condition had actually got worse since he first watched me in action at u12 level. Pity he did not hand out the same advice to his son Barry about his shooting.

     The site contains much information on services, businesses and activities in the town. A glaring flaw in it ,however, is that it contains no mention of the Dohenys Club nor of Ballabuidhe. How could you describe Dunmanway without referring to either of these, both probably the oldest organisations in town. Everything happens before Ballabuidhe, after Ballabuidhe or during Ballabuidhe. The town is often referred to as the Doheny town and people from the town are frequently called Dohenys even if not connected to the G.A.A. One of the most common topics discussed by locals in pubs and elsewhere, along with the weather and who has run off with whose wife , is how the Dohenys are doing.

    Perhaps the compiler of the otherwise excellent Promotions site has never heard of Ballabuidhe or the Dohenys. I trust that the club will enlighten them on the latter and James Connolly will do so on the former.

    Again make sure you add the site to your web link

Here we go again, before a ball is kicked in the 2006 Kelleher Sheild one prominent club has already got a postponment. The reason for this postponment is that their club dinner is on the night before. Surely they knew 2 months ago that this dinner was on. It would be excuseable if it was a small club with a small number of players, but this club can boast of 30 to 40 players fit for senior football. The Kelleher Sheild is again being treated with distain by the clubs and by the co-ordinator, Mr Ryan who allowed this to happen. The County Board should now act and stop this ridiculous treatment of the Kelleher Sheild immediately.
