MUNSTER INTERMEDIATE CHAMPIONSHIP
There is great excitement building up to this weekend, where Crotta contests the Munster Intermediate quarter final. There is a great buzz around the area and It’s fantastic to see all the Green and Red flags flying around the area.
All roads lead to Kilmallock, Co. Limerick (V35 PP83) where Crotta Seniors take on Waterford Intermediate champions Ferrybank in the Munster Championship Quarter final on Sunday 12th November at 1.30 pm.
So another exciting chapter beckons at the weekend. Crotta players and mentors are looking forward to the game with great anticipation. The Green and Red Brigade supporters will be out in support, our Little Stars will be cheering on our bigger stars and we are grateful for all the support from our community here in Kerry and beyond.
Why not take a spin out to Kilmallock, Co. Limerick (V35 PP83) next Sunday and support the Gaels.
We wish The Crotta management of Brendan Mahony, Johnny Hogan, the backroom team and the players the best of luck on Sunday. #CrottaABU

All content received after this date will be held over for potential future issues. Historical pieces, reports of local groups and organisations, photos, old and new, poetry, Indeed, anything of local interest is welcomed for inclusion.

The price of inclusion is €20 and we ask all local businesses to please support us. Since we last published, many people have enquired if the Chronicle would return and told of how those living away from home loved to receive a copy before Christmas. Therefore, in order that the magazine is printed well in advance of Christmas the production team asks that all content is submitted by Wednesday 15th November, at the latest. All content should be emailed to kilflynnium@icloud.com or contact John Flaherty at (087) 2352753, Mike Parker at (087) 9794541, Margaret Quille, Joe McAuliffe, T J O’Sullivan, Brendan Tuomey or Frankie Lynch.
