Manager Adrian O'Shea writes: Last Saturday we became the first team in Kerry to capture silverware this season by winning our league. The coverage we got in the local papers was laughable to say the least and Kieran and I feel the boys deserve more credit for what they achieved. 

Im just gonna run through the squad and thank every one of them for their commitment to training and matches throughout the year. I really think this squad is as good as any in Kerry and look forward to having a run at the cup starting with Fenit away. 

Paul Lynch in goals is in my opinion the best goalkeeper in the club and one of the best at Under 12 this season. He was on the Kerry Schoolboys "team of the week" twice this year and is the backbone of the side and mad as a hatter to boot.

Our defence this year was rock solid with Conor Brick, Jack O'Shea,Kevin Murphy,Sean Field,Fionan Mackessy,Stephen Aherne,Charlie O'Grady,Kieran Magee all playing important roles. In midfield we had Danny Houlihan,Cian O'Brien,Aaron O'Keefe,Darren Bastible,Paul Nolan,Wesley Meehan,Dominic Carton,and Sam Mansfield all playing a part in our title run and up top we were lucky to have the qualities of Eoin Edwards,Mario Ziege,Eoin Hennessy and Jamie Leen who between them scored most of our goals.Thanks also the others who trained throughout the year Joseph,Dara,the 2 Jasons,Sean and Luke but special mention goes to in our opinion the player of the season for us Dara Lowth. 

Dara is only 9 years old and has been the star of the season on the right wing for us.Tough,tenacious, versatile, he has the talent to go a long way in this game and personally its been a pleasure to coach him and the rest of the boys. Congrats lads ye deserve it.

 PRESS RELEASE; Tralee Dynamos were delighted yesterday (Feb 15th) when the FAI announced the new Licences for the coming season.

As with all clubs Dynamos had to fulfill a stringent process including the submitting of accounts and budgets to the FAI before it was confirmed that they will once again be the only Kerry club side playing League of Ireland football.

Dynamos were awarded their A Championship Licence along with Castlebar Celtic, Cobh Ramblers, FC Carlow and Tullamore. There were also 14 Premier Licences awarded yesterday, with Cork City's fate still to be decided and 7 First Division licences given out.

All teams who go on to make up the Premier Division will have teams in the A Championship while the First Division teams will also be eligible to enter this competition. It has been indicated the Limerick will enter the A Championship this season.

Once the make up of the Divisions is known tomorrow (Wednesday Feb 17th) Dynamos will then be in a better position to know their opponents for the campaign. However pre season is well under-way with the club awaiting the draws for the FAI Ford Cup and the EA Sports Cup.

The club is also continuing to plan for the forthcoming Underage League which will kick off in July.

 UNDER 12 DIVISION 1: Kingdom Boys 6 Listowel Celtic  1 A man of the match performance from Dara Lowth cemented Boys position on top of the league. Played in Dynamos this side have been playing fantastic football all season under Adrian and Kieran. Goals from Mario Ziege (3) and one a piece for Eoin Edwards, Dara Lowth and Jamie Lee sets Boys up to capture our first piece of silverware this season.

UNDER 14 DIVISION 1: Kingdom Boys 0 Killarney Athletic 3: Best said about this game the better for the Boys management team. Playing without 6 regulars this was always going to be a difficult game. Try as they might and going in 0 0 at half time Boys just ran out of players. Killian O’ Brien in goals had a great game and trying their best to rally the troops were Gary, Jared and Dylan. Boys will write this one off as a bad day at the office but a bigger commitment is required from those who only informed the manager on Friday night and in some cases on Saturday morning of there availability.

UNDER 16 LEAGUE: Kingdom Boys 7 Asdee 0: Boys were always too good for a gallant Asdee side when they met in Ard Na Li last Saturday morning. Playing without Adam and Bobby Boys demonstrated there strength in depth as those who fell in did absolutely fantastic. Goals by Uros (2) Sponge (2) DOB (1) Ian (1) and and OG helped us remain on top of the league unbeaten. This side is made up of tremendous talent and the future looks rosy as these players develop. Boys now look forward to a last 16 National Cup game away to either Cabinteeley or Cherry Orchard sometime in March.

GOOD LUCK: To Gary O’ Neill, Darragh Carmody and Niall Sheehy who have gone to Ipswich and Man City on trial this past week. This only further demonstrates the development of our players when clubs of such high standard are looking at our talent.

It was a journey filled with excitement and not a little trepidation as the boys strove to lay the ghosts of their u-12 2006 clash with Dungloe to rest.

PREMIER: Lisselton 8 Tralee Dynamos 2

UNDER 11 PREMIER: Killarney Celtic 2 Kingdom Boys 3
Brian Twohig writes;

The phone was "hopping" early on frosty morning, the enthuasiastic young players "raring to go" is the game still on? It was and didn't they go! Within four minutes and on the second attack, the ball was in the net. A pass to Rian O' Sullivan, who scalded the right-back all morning, a nice pass to the head of Darcy Pototzki who left the goalkeeper stuck to his line, with a dripping net behind him.

The Boys controlled the centre of the park, creating a succession of chances. Killarney defended well but could not get the ball to their main man who was conclusively marked by Cian Twohig. The second half started with Killarney driving forward but Conor Hurley kept the backline intact and Goalkeeper Appleby made a fantastic save to see off the best that the opposition could muster.

Then a quick string of passes, out to Darcy,a first time cross and a superb "flash shot" by Fergal Ryan,a possible goal of the season! Killarney immediately changed tactics putting another man up front and began to use a different line of supply. Pressure was mounting, again a great save by a brave Giles Appleby, a succession of corners, but then a quick break up the centre by Ferdia O' Brien, a great pass to well posistioned O' Sullivan who's shot was parried by the Celtic goalkeeper and into the net.

At that Killarney came back and scored from after a clever through pass.Both teams reconstructed their centre field, a tired Stefan Okunbor who had worked endlessly was replaced by fellow midfielder Segun Duyile,while KiIlarney put two fresh attackers on and within minutes had pulled another back.

But it was too late and the spoils went to the visitors who had displayed a fantastic team performance.This result however has opened up the League and guess what? - The Boys are back in town!

TEAM OF THE WEEK: Well done to Cian Twohig of Kingdom Boys u-11's who made the "Kerry Schoolboys League" team of the week. Cian helped his team to an excellent win over table toppers Killarney Celtic

UNDER 16 NATIONAL CUP: Kingdom Boys 3 Corbally (Limerick) 1 Kingdom Boys got the better of a gallant Corbally 3-1. The Tralee side were clinical in their finishing, especially Darren O’Brien who scored twice in the first half to give Kingdom Boys a 2-0 lead. Corbally themselves were dangerous on their attacks and pulled one back early into the second half but an Adam Piggott third wrapped up the victory. Kingdom Boys now make the long trip to Swilly Rovers in Donegal for round 4

UNDER 13 NATIONAL CUP: Templemore 3 Kingdom Boys 1
Alan McGovern writes;

Saturday Kingdom Boys u 13 travelled to  Tipperary to play Templemore in a replay of the third round clash in the National Cup. When we arrived the weather conditions were not great as there was a heavy fog hanging over the pitch. When the game kicked off the fog started to get worse but the game continued.  In the first few minutes they scored a goal but after that we started to play and had several chances with Sean Ryan tormenting their defenders and Kieran Maher and Shane Lowth  testing their keeper it was only a matter of time before we equalised. But before the equaliser came our left back Timmy Murphy received a heavy tackle and had to be substituted after 10 minutes his replacement Cahill Lehane came on and he scored the equaliser but Templemore were intent in stopping us play to our abilities by fouling our players. Before half time Cahill received a heavy tackle also and had to be replaced at half time.

Kevin O’Shea came on in the second half to replace Cahill. In the second half Templemore had a few attacks but our defenders Robert McGovern, Claudio Dema, Thomas Phelan and Daire Walsh were well able to cope. Claudio and Thomas received heavy tackles but played on showing true spirit. Dylan O’Shea came on up front to replace Kieran Maher. Josh O’Reilly who was playing in mid-field and was having a great game had to go off due to another bad tackle and was replaced by Stephen Birmingham.  Daire and Sean combined well on the right side of the field but every time Sean attacked he was brought down and the Templemore supporters cheered every time this happened.   The Referee was not very fair in his decisions for Kingdom Boys. But when Robert tackled one of their players he cautioned him. Also when we asked for support he threatened to send one of our supporters off.  With five minutes left it looked like it was going to extra time but we gave away a corner and Templemore scored. Soon after while we were trying for the equaliser they broke and Derek Horgan got to the ball but impeded the player and the Ref gave Templemore a penalty. Which Derek saved. Again while we were attacking they broke and Sean Ryan won the ball back but got tackled from both sides and while he was down the linesman flagged but the Ref let play go on and Robert tackled a Templemore player outside the box but showing Templemore’s fair play he dived into the box and the Ref awarded another penalty to Templemore. When we approached the Ref about Sean’s tackle and why he had not stopped play when the flag was up, he told us it had nothing to do with him. We had to carry Sean off the field before they took the penalty and replaced by Kevin Dolan. Templemore scored the penalty.  Game over 3-1 to Templemore.

We had intended to play our second goalkeeper Cillian O’Brien in the second half but due to unforeseen injuries to our outfield players we were unable to change keeper.

We would like to thank all our players for rising above the intimidating atmosphere and showing their true spirit for the game and supporters for travelling.

As an aside we feel that the atmosphere and unsportsman like attitude from the Templemore supporters and players was not acceptable at this age level. It is not appropriate to cheer for a player being  brought down.

Man of the Match was Sean Ryan.

Team:   Derek Horgan(Keeper), Robert McGovern, Thomas Phelan, Caudio Dema, Daire Walsh (Captain) Timmy Murphy, Brian O’Connell, Josh O’Reilly, Sean Ryan, Kieran Maher, Shane Lowth – Subs: Dylan O’Shea, Kevin O’Shea, Cahill  Lehane, Stephen Birmingham, Kevin Dolan (Supersub), Joseph Callaghan and Cillan O’Brien (Keeper)

UNDER 11 PREMIER: Killarney Celtic 2 Kingdom Boys 3 This division was blown wide open following Kingdom Boys 3-2 win over Killarney Celtic in Killarney. Celtic still lead the way in this division but their margin has been dramatically cut after this result. Darcy Patanksi, Fergal Ryan and Reen O’Sullivan were the Kingdom Boys scorers to move them onto 5 points with Killarney Celtic remaining on ten.

UNDER 11 DIV 1 NORTH: Fenit 7 Kingdom Boys 0 Fenit also added three points to their total and are now on six following their 7-0 win over Kingdom Boys. Fenit had seven different scorers – Bobby Ryan, John Lenihan, Sam Higgins, Alex McElligott, PJ McCarthy, Oisin O’Brien and Jack McCarthy.
