Kerry duo Evan Boyle and Daniel Kirby offered contracts from AFL club

Kerry’s U20 All-Ireland winning midfielders Evan Boyle and Daniel Kirby have each been offered a contract from an AFL club, the Irish Examiner understands.
The pair, who were selected in the U20 team of the year following Kerry’s final win over Tyrone, have attracted concrete interest from Australia and are now weighing up the offers.
Ballyduff’s Boyle is also a member of the Kerry senior hurling panel, while Austin Stacks’ Kirby is the son of two-time All-Ireland SFC-winning midfielder William.
Kerry currently have four players contracted to AFL clubs - Mark O’Connor (Dingle, Geelong), Cillian Burke (Milltown-Castlemaine, Geelong), Rob Monahan (Kilmoyley, Carlton) and Ben Murphy (Austin Stacks, Brisbane Lions).
Tommy Walsh and Tadhg Kennelly are among the 10 from The Kingdom who have signed for AFL outfits since Seán Wight in 1985.
Boyle and Kirby’s U20 manager Tomás Ó Sé has been an outspoken critic of AFL clubs’ recruitment of Gaelic footballers.
Early last year, he hit out at the behaviour of one franchise in approaching one teenage player.

I built a free GAA TV fixtures site as a one-person side project, would love your feedback

Hi r/GAA

I’m a big GAA fan who got a little frustrated trying to find what games were streaming on Clubber and StreamSport each week so I built something myself.

It’s just me maintaining it in my spare time but it covers:

- All GAA fixtures streaming on Clubber and StreamSport with county filtering
- GAA on TV across RTÉ, TG4 and Virgin Media
- All major sports live and available to view in Ireland
- Updated every week

No ads, no signup, completely free, just a passion project I wanted to share with the community.

Would love honest feedback from GAA fans on what’s useful, what’s missing, or what could be better. Every suggestion genuinely gets considered and a few Reddit users have already shaped how the site works.

PS GAA+ will be getting added

Pairc Tailteann Redevelopment.

Good to see this making progress and a return to having proper home games in sight. If we make a Leinster final next year (big if) a home game for Rd 1 would be a great opening for it. A pity it's not a full redevelopment but hopefully in time we'll get there.

What other redevelopments are people looking forward to? Louth also seem to be making progress. Obviously Antrim is a clusterF.

Gerry Hussey departs as performance coach with Cork hurlers

Slow news lately. Nothing aginst Gerry but always thought his focus was more corporate orientated. I know he was with Tipp in 2016 but all his work since seems to have been with corporate training. Best of luck to him all the same. Hopefully Cork can pick up someone good. Does Caroline Currids contract have a release clause?

John Torpey - RIP

John Torpey, founder of Torpey Hurleys has passed away Sunday at 85. The man himself mightn't be known that much nationwide but I thought it is quite impressive how he has built up the company into the size that it is now. It is possibly the most recognisable brand of a hurley throughout Ireland (through strong marketing and innovation too yes).

Started the company in 1981 and gone from strength to strength since

Just thought be nice to give him some recognition here

Which County Is More Likely To Win A Senior All Ireland Next Cork or Waterford?

These are the two Munster counties (unless you count Kerry) with the longest senior all Ireland droughts. I have a bet with a relative from Waterford that i'll pay him 20 Euros if Waterford win one first and vice versa, although perhaps neither of us will be paying out on that bet anytime soon?🤣

Anyone know of any websites that do half and half club jerseys?

O'Neills do the county ones but just wondering if there's something similar for club level.

Mayo new curse?

I can't be the only one who noticed members of the Mayo team welcoming a dastardly foreign sport into our hallowed headquarters the other weekend. Cillian O'Connor even handed the match ball to the captains who I can only assume are undercover British state assets.

That eclipse was no coincidence but the Lord expressing his displeasure at this grave betrayal. Another 75 years I think unless they crucify Joe Brolly in the middle of McHale Park.

Co. Antrim Camogie Jersey

 Antrim Camogie jersey.

Very interesting story. The woman I bought it from played for the Antrim Minor Camogie team and was gifted to the team who won the Ulster Minor Camogie Championship, which was Antrim! I’m not sure if this is exclusive or rare, but it was listed for £5!

Ref not knowing the rules ?

Trying to figure out why this goal is ruled out? Not square ball, no contact with keeper, looks like he blows for a hand passed goal. However you are allowed … weird one.

Random managerial appointments

Was thinking about a few recently

Micheal Duignan had a stint over Meath hurlers, I forgot as well, Peter Canavan took Fermanagh. Paul Galvin to Wexford was also mad. Colm Coyle even took Monaghan. Strange to alot of those vanished off the managment scene. Anymore?

Visiting Ireland to watch a match

Bit of a random one, but I’ve got interested in hurling (starting with the Two Johnnies randomly appearing on my Insta feed) and would like to go to watch a match. My son is also very keen to go as he loves all sport and has requested either Tipperary or Wexford (based solely on the fact that he like their jerseys).

We’re in England so have absolutely no idea about anything so:

When would be the best time of year to go to a game?

What’s the easiest way to buy tickets?

If my lad wanted a jersey, would we be able to pick one up on the day or order in advance?

From what I’ve read, fans seem to mix together easily so assume going as a neutral wouldn’t be an issue. Any do and don’t?

Any suggestions as to which team to see?
