Roots & All is a project where we pick a few teams that don’t normally make the spotlight week in week out and feature them regularly throughout an entire campaign.
All's quiet in Iveragh over the last couple of weeks. U13s and U15s were to play in their respective west Munster plate competitions, but nearly all pitches in Kerry are unplayable at the moment. Minis have had high numbers at training, but again their blitz had to be cancelled. The seniors have a must win game against Killarney in the Mick Barry cup next Sunday, a J2 Munster cup for the teams who finished 2nd and 3rd in their respective divisions before Christmas. The winners are guaranteed a semi final place, but again weather could be a problem. On a positive note, showers have been installed in our temporary dressing-rooms, a welcome change from trying to wash off mud using the cold tap. Such facilities are normal at established clubs, but we will catch up in a few years. This weekends fixtures are U15 v Tralee and seniors v Killarney.
