ASDEE G A A

SENIORS.Our senior footballers have certainly hit the 2015 campaign very much on a high having qualified for the County Novice Championship semi final for the first time ever in the clubs history while for the second successive year it’s a place in the North Kerry League Division 2 Final. In the Novice semi final St. Senans will provide the opposition on Sunday June 21^st at Sheehy Park, Listowel at 2 30pm. and would seem to be the bookies favourite to clinch a final place against either Ballydonoghue or Lispole but after impressive victories over last years North Kerry Senior Football champions Beale and an away victory over Tuosist they will not be entering this tie just to make up the numbers. Moving on to the North Kerry Division 2 Final where Asdee will take on Moyvane and in their recent clash it was a late goal by Moyvane that deprived Asdee of victory.Both sides are very evenly matched so supporters of both clubs are sure to turn out in hugh numbers to cheer on their respective teams. The date and venue for this encounter has yet to be confirmed.

He first proposed dropping Rule 27, which banned GAA members from playing and attending the ‘foreign sports’ of soccer, rugby, hockey and cricket, in 1959, but it wasn’t until 1971 that ‘The Ban’ was finally deleted at Congress in Belfast.
