Snips from Shannonside.
Looking forward to four exciting matches in the North Kerry.
Newtownsandes v Listowel; Tarbert v NTS; NTS v Ballylongford and Listowel v Tarbert.
North Kerry Football Board withdrew permission for Ballybunion Parish Football League, because one team behaved badly last year. Three teams were willing to play leaving out the unruly team. Young players may be lost due to ruling.
Faha team were a strong force fourteen years ago when they played Newtownsandes. If present interest continues, Faha and Beal Team should be favourites in next year North Kerry Junior League.

FOOTBALL.
LISTOWEL V. TULLAMORE.
Listowel, Monday. On Sunday last an exciting and interesting football match was played in a field convenient to the village of Ballydonoghue, between teams representing Listowel and Tullamore. The fact of the teams having met on a farmer occasion, and failing to score after two hours play, greatly increased the interest taken in the match. Several disputes took place between the teams, but would, undoubtedly, but for the interference of some outsiders would have culminated in a general row between the teams and their partisans. The Tullamore men were also completely ignorant of the rules of the Gaelic Association , with the result that fouls were of frequent occurrence. The play, however, from start to finish was of the most exciting description, and the result shows how well , matched the teams were. Though superior to the Listowel men in point of physique, the Tullamore men were not their equals in discipline or activity. Winning choice of Sides; the Listowel men elected to play with the wind, and a slight incline. The Listowel men drove the ball times behind the goal lines, but it was not till after fifteen minutes hard and exciting play that they were able to score the first and only point brought during the whole game. Several fine rushes were made by the Tullamore men, but the Listowel forward (J. Moore), was ” all there,” and easily frustrated the efforts of the Tullamore men. When play recommenced after the expiration of half an hour the Tullamore men strove to score, but failed. At the end of the hour the play stood, Listowel, .. 1 point. Tullamore. nil. Mr. O’Shea acted as referee, and endeavoured to discharge the duties of his position, rendered onerous by the disputes and fouls which took place frequently.
