PAPERS: Kerryman 1904-current, Friday, June 09, 1989; Page: 20 By Tim Griffin (Sports in Kerry, see paper for much more) The Kingdom of Kerry has seen the existence of many great athletic clubs down the years. Many of the best of them had a long association with the G.A.A. For example, as I grew up in Ballymacelligott, there was on distinction between GAA and athletic affairs in the parish. The GAA committee ran the athletic sports as one of its biggest days in the year. But let me go back somewhat further in time. The oldest athletics club in Kerry of which I know is Knockanure, which believe it or not, was founded in 1840. This means that a 150th anniversary is due in 1990 and no doubt we will see some celebration out Knockanure way when staunch supporters of the sports there, like Jackie Cronin, Dan Keane, Father Tom McMahon, Jackie Murphy and Jim Collins, all with a lifetime of commitment to athletics, will honour the feats of men like the late Joe Sweeney, a champion cyclist of the thirties and the late Davy McMahon. A mile or two up the road in Moyvane, the late Con Brosnan, of football fame, was also a big figure in athletic circles, as were Tom O’Connor and Moss O’Connell in a later era Duagh, too, have had a long association with the sport, firstly through the efforts of old time cyclist and official, the late Dermot O’Brien, with able help from Tom Broderick. Some years later, the Duagh committee thrived thanks to men like Dan McAuliffe and the Dillon brothers, Diarmuid and Father Paul.
Listowel always had a thriving club with both athletics and cycling to the fore. “Jet” Carroll, Pat Healy, Anthony Dowling, Jerome Murphy, Pat Kiernan (father of marathon star Jerry) and the late Gene Moriarty kept the flag flying three and four decades ago and were followed in more recent times by Moss Heffernan, Ned Carey, Donal and Bob O’Sullivan and Fr. Kiernan O’Shea, all great committee men. Brendan O’Shea and Jerry Kiernan both won Irish marathon titles. Coolard and Lisselton have promoted athletics for many years, thanks to staunch workers like Tom Leane, Gus Cremins, Ned Bolger, George O’Donnell, Richie Kissane, Jerdie O’Connor and Maurice O’Mahony. The border town of Tarbert has remained on the athletics map because of men like Jim Friel and Desmond O’Connor and today it thrives with great youngsters ably looked after by John and Marie McGinley.

Kerryman 1904-current, Saturday, October 16, 1971; Page: 4 MRS. PHILIP O’ROURKE formally Mai O’Connor of Main Street Listowel) has, just returned, to her adopted home in 148 Ullos, San Francisco, after a very pleasant visit at the home of her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. James and Eileen Murray Of Main Street, Listowel. Before starting out in life in America, Mai had trained at Guys, Hospital, London, where she won some distinction as a young nurse. Her husband, Philip, who is a native, of Killarney, and frequently visits there, began life after leaving school, as a Radio Officer in the American Navy. Since his retirement he has been, actively engaged in the fortunes of the Radio Officers Association, as its Vice-President which, it appears, is a demanding function. The O’Rourke’s have a daughter and son—Mrs. Deirdre Watson and Philip O’Rourke. Mr O’Rourke’s sister, Miss Agnes O’Rourke, lives In Killarney.
FROM NEVADA—Twenty-five-years old Michael O’Rourke’s life’s ambition was to find out as much as he can about the Kirbys of Listowel from whom he had sprung and after getting his degrees in business management in a university in Nevada, he set out on the long journey from Reno, Nevada, to Listowel in high hopes of the success of his mission. But In Listowel he was unable to get any clue which would put him on the right road.
He visited the local cemetery where he made a thorough inspection of the graves and disheartened by his failure to discover a Kirby, he left and went down to the town. As he walked alone Main Street a very pleasant surprise awaited him He met a clergyman—Listowel-born Monsignor William McMahon who directed him to the home of a first-cousin of his father—Edward O’Connor of Island View, Listowel, where he got a welcome reception.
He learned of his great-grandfather, Michael Kirby, who had a drapery establishment in Main Street, many years ago and who had four sons In the priesthood (one of whom was a parish priest in Fossa, Killarney, some years ago). Michael showed the writer an old photograph of a young and lovely girl who was his grandmother—Norah Kirby who had a rare and beautiful voice. Her father, Michael Kirby, sent her to Florence, Italy, to study singing under the best teachers. Having completed her studies she returned home to Listowel and then gaily and bravely left for America to become a singer. On arrival, Norah stayed with her brother, Fr. Pat who was at the time, the Assistant Pastor of St. Agnes Church in San Francisco where she became a singing teacher instead. One of her pupils was a member of a well-known family named Jack O’Rourke, who stayed with his brother, Isaac William O’Rourke, Chief Veterinary Surgeon for the city of San Francisco {“Horses,” said Michael, “were very important in 1897”). Well, it appears that Jack’s voice became vastly improved in a short time and so did his affection for the charming Norah Kirby and in a short time they were married. Her son John was Michael’s father. Michael left Listowel with numerous references and photographs of the old home of his great-grandfather and of the Butler Arms in Waterville, which had been owned by his , grand-aunt, Mary Kirby, who was later Mrs. Jones, who sold it to the, Huggards. The late Catherine Kirby, Mrs O’Connor, mother of Mr Edward O’Connor was also daughter of the late Ml. Kirby.. Cronin https://northkerry.wordpress.
