MOYVANE FOOTBALL
Kerryman 1904-current, Friday, June 15, 1984; Page: 24
BY STEPHEN McGRATH THE North Kerry village of Moyvane becomes the centre of the football world this Sunday when Kerry take on a Laois team which will be anxious to prove that they are a match for the men from The Kingdom.
The occasion is the official opening of Con Brosnan Park, Moyvane — now one of the finest club grounds in the country. It boasts a fine stand with concrete terracing, four dressing rooms and further terracing for the spectators.
Chairman Sean Walsh and his colleagues have been doing Trojan work to the ground over the last few years during which it has been ploughed up, levelled off, re-drained and re-seeded.
The ground is named after the great Con Brosnan who won six All Ireland Senior Football Championship medals with Kerry during the 1920’s and early 1930’s.
His son Jerry, a Moyvane dairy farmer, recalls that Con played in eight, All-Ireland finals between 1923 and 1935 captaining the Kerry side that beat Mayo in the last of them.
Con, who lived from 1900-1975, was one of the greatest midfielders to come out of County Kerry. During his time North Kerry never won the county championship but as his career went into its final years he was awarded the captaincy by Joe Barrett In recognition of his services to the county.
Before he ever played for the county team, Con was well-known in the Moyvane area for his activities during the War of Independence and later on the pro-treaty side during the Civil War.
The park named after him had humble beginnings back In 1962 — a time when believe, it or not, almost every club in the county had no ground of its own. Nowadays, of course, and in this Centenary year, almost all clubs own their own.
In the early Sixties a great Moyvane team was sweeping all before it on the football fields. The officers of the club at that time, Cormac O’Leary (Chairman), Con Shine (Secretary) and Jerry Brosnan (Treasurer), decided it was time to purchase a field so that future generations of Moyvane footballers "could train and play the game their forefathers loved so well."
Their initial difficulty was to convince their colleagues that, "the impossible was-possible . Having done this they set about acquiring a field and after some searching Jerry Brosnan offered the club a field which it was already using on lease.
It cost £10,000 to purchase, drain and develop the pitch. The money was found through many fund raising ventures. The first of these involved a raffle for a TV set — the tickets were one shilling each. Voluntary ticket sellers travelled: all over the area selling tickets.
A group of ticket sellers even went to Croke Park for the Dublin v. Down League Final in 1982 where they sold £30 worth of tickets — a great day’s work. The raffle for the T.V. made £300, a parish collection realised £1,200, a raffle for ten All-Ireland tickets for the 1964 Kerry/Galway final resulted in another £1,000 being collected for the new pitch. For a number of years the Moyvane Carnival was a tremendous vehicle for fund, raising for the pitch and with these monies the ground became one of the few to boast a stand in the sixties in Kerry. Now the fruits of all this work can be seen by everyone. Moyvane now has eight teams ranging from under-12’s to Senior.
(Break, see paper for more)
The club is now run by Sean Walsh (Chairman), Martin J. Kennelly (Secretary), Martin Kennelly and Francis Hanrahan (Joint Treasurers), Mick Hanrahan (P.R.O.), Denis O’Connor (Vice chairman) and Ted Keane (Assistant Secretary).
Kerry County Board Chairman Frank King will perform the official opening ceremony of the newly re-seeded pitch.

Music at Seanchai Listowel St Patrick’s Day.
In his doctoral thesis, which made waves in 1972, Bekenstein theorized that black holes had entropy, or disorder in its system, and subsequently, according to the laws of physics, a temperature. Hawking disagreed, maintaining that black holes could not radiate anything and therefore had no temperature. At a conference in France that year, Hawking gathered a few colleagues and angrily confronted Bekenstein.
