The GAA
The Gaelic Athletic Association was founded to preseve the games and culture
of Ireland. The lead in this regard was Dr. Douglas Hyde - the first
President of the 26-counties Republic. When he discovered the Gaelic (Irish)
language he fell in love with its expressive powers. He was of the
Protestant
faith and lead a nation of whose population were close to 95%
Catholic.

Not wishing to display graphics on these
pages initially, I wrote let me describe the symbol that is visible on the right
that I'm using to transcribe the infomation that you see below. It shows a
circular rope form on whose northern point features within a square box shape,
three crowns which are the representation for the province of Munster. The province within which
Kerry is located. A box to the southern part of this circular shape has
the image of a Gaelic footballer kicking a football. Then to the right in its boxed enclosure is
an Irish Hurley player about to make contact with ball (sliother) and
hurley stick (caman). To the circle's left is featured an handball player.
A map of Kerry (Ciarrai) appears underneath the symbol for Munster along with an
Irish Wolfhound, A Harp, a Monastic Tower and a bed of shamrocks above the
Gaelic Football player's squared-in area. This beautiful crest design
employs the combination of colors; green, white and gold.

Kerry Seniors Situation ...
We're in our winning ways once again, the wording on the following appeal will
continue to be relevant, that is, support is always welcome and necessary.
Work is always left to be done for Kerry to realize All Ireland Championship status.
The great tradition of Kerry football is renowned, and has long been a source
of pride to all those who hail from the "The Kingdom." Kerry holds the distinction
of having the most All-Ireland Football Championship titles - now, thirty six(36) in all - the most in the history of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). They achieved this
feat against stalwart competitors from the other counties such as the neighboring county
Cork, and
Clare,
and other powerhouses such as
Mayo,
Cavan,
Galway,
Roscommon, Meath,
Louth,
Dublin, Derry,
Donegal,
Monaghan
, Antrim,
Longford, ......
The Sam Maguire Cup has passed on to Kerry
Kerry's winning ways having them winning two senior All-Ireland
Football final in a row. Some tradition to maintain.
The Kingdom is back to its winning ways. With your support
we hope it will be so for many years to come. We need to keep the tradition
alive. Thank youl for your help in making our collective dream come true.
There is
no doubt that we have the football skills in Kerry with which to reclaim the
championship title again. Kerry minors and under twenty-one (21) teams
will provide the talents to keep Kerry Seniors positioned to win again
and again. The cost of training, travel, equipment and playing facilities
for the team is enormous, and so the Kerry Supporters Club USA was formed to lend financial support for the Kerry Teams in Ireland.

Your devotion and dedication, and your relentless promotion of

my inspiration and motivation in the formation and development
