KENNELLY MOYVANE

Kennelly’s Homevalue Hardware

Today marks another big milestone at Kennelly’s Homevalue Hardware, we are celebrating 40 years in Business – October 1978-2018. Thank you to our staff, both past and present and all our customers for your continuous support throughout the years. Here’s to many more!

A little history of the business:

Kennelly’s Homevalue Hardware is a family run business which was established on 23rd October 1978 by Mike Kennelly.

After working in Dublin for 2 years, Mike returned to his local village of Moyvane where he opened a hardware business and began as a sole trader in a rented premises.

In 1981, Mike purchased a new shop in the centre of the village. Nearly a decade later, the business expanded when he bought a site on the Glin Road and built a timber and materials yard. This gave further employment to the local community.

In 2002, the business moved to a larger premises where is it is still trading today. This is adjacent to the original shop of 1978 and over 40years later, the family-run business continues to serve its customers from all over North Kerry and West Limerick.

ATHEA – THE CHAMPIONS

The cheers ring round the Gaelic Grounds, they echo far away,

The Limerick football championship has come to sweet Athea.

The dream at last it has come true,-no longer must we wait:

They’ve brought the Cup home to the West, these men of sixty-eight,

The first they beat was Patrickswell, next did Askeaton fall;

Then Oola’s best they, failed the test with our boys to play the ball.

Next Came the Treaty Sarsfields in the final game to play;

Some wise men shook their heads and said "they’ll surely, beat Athea."

The autumn sun was shining bright on that field near Limerick town,

When they came from Clash and Cratloe there, the village and Knockdown,

From Knocknagorna’s hills as well from Keale, Coole West, Tooreen,

From Gortnagross and Knackanair and the vales of sweet Direen.

Then old men’s thoughts they drifted back to the games they used to see,

And to men who fought in, harder fields to make our nation free-

Con Colbert, Gortaglanna, Paddy Dalton came to mind-

Many hearts with pride were beating for those days long left behind.

But every face is turned now to the scene of the present day.

The Treaty boys, they struggled hard, but were no match for Athea.

And when the final whistle went there was no doubt who was best.

The Cup has found a worthy home in its journey to the West.

Here’s to the men of sixty-eight, with Con Mullane full-back;

Tom Keeffe In goal beside him "Morgan" Moran and Sean Mack,

Ken Dermody, Frank Collins and Mike Hayes made no mistake,

And when Gerry Carey gets, the ball the West is wide awake.

The Barrett brothers and Joe Keeffe were always to the fore,

And from a player like Timmie Woulfe no one could ask for more.

Murt Liston, the young captain, was indeed a shining light;

Kevin Dillon and Joe Brouder too. they played with all their might.

The other men who also served, the subs behind the scene

Tim Enright "Haulie" Moran and Pat Dalton from Direen,

Tim Keeffe and Danny Barry, Patie Moran, Jim Dillane.

Mick White and Jack O’Connor, too, strong men-of brain and brawn.

Your followers they are proud of you, gallant men of sixty-eight;

We will always look upon you as the greatest of the great

And in many a future battle we-well know you’ll never fail

To bring the laurels often home to the town beside the Gale.

P J. BROSNAN . Knocknagorna, Athea.
