    What's the story behind their last spell in the MSL?
    Only ever caught a bit of what happened their. Reason I was musing over a Munster District League for the rest of the province but appears to be fallacy, which is unfortunate but fair enough.

    It is a catch 22 situation. No club has shown interest since Limerick clubs began to pull out of the MSL. Now one club just won't show interest because every single other side will be from Cork and travelling every second week isn't financially viable for them.

    Do you think if the FAI made a push for a Munster District League for 5 counties of Munster, leaving out Cork, a long the lines of the mooted Connaught Senior League, that one or two Limerick clubs might join?

    At the launch of Galway FC, Delaney was questioned by Newstalk about whether the FAI would consider Rovers B or Tralee for the First Division - not sure where the speculation arose, as there has been little local discussion of the topic and neither the facilities nor the finances have changed to any degree since the failed 2012 bid.

    And what did he say? He was reported elsewhere as saying that he does want eight teams at the Galway launch.
    The ball is round and has many surprises.

    Basically, that even if both put applications, he would prefer a division of eight, rather than nine. All rather non-committal, that any expression of interest would be judged on its merits, and that he would welcome a Kerry application if it fulfilled all the licensing conditions. It was Oisin Langan of Newstalk, rather than anyone from Kerry who asked the question, maybe he's heard whispers on the grapevine?

    I'm just being nosy now but is there still interest in Tralee? I'd much rather see them in than anybody's B team if they were willing to have a crack at it.

    Nah, it's only likely to ever happen as a Kerry County set-up, so even if the U-19's start flying, 2015 would still be optimistic for a senior team to join.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there an issue with the Kerry league after Tralee's application was denied, where they belonged in the structure? Might be influencing Tralee's thinking on the topic now.

    Tralee were placed two divisions below the top-flight, but they've won every league game bar one over the last two seasons, so they're on course to return to Premier A next August.

    Yeah, so, the idea that they might get bumped down again if they make another failed application can't be too far away from their minds.

    Oh, was that newstalk who carried out the interview? Heard that on radio Kerry during the week. I was surprised to hear dynamos mentioned.
    The main news from Kerry really is that we should have an U19 team late next year if the upgrade of mounthawk is complete. It'll be a start at least. I'd like to see the Kerry League return to the league cup as well.

    So, the Dennehy brothers helping Cork to joint-leadership of the Premier, while Kerry prepare for tomorrow's Oscar Traynor semi - just shows the potential of Kerry soccer if only there was the will and/or the popular demand.

    55 thousand views on a topic on Tralee Dynamos - very impressive. The Wikipedia page on the club is a bit lacking on information for a club founded back in the 1960s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tralee_Dynamos_F.C.

    Some information here though. http://traleedynamos.com/Dynamos.htm

    Must be tough for a soccer club to survive in the heartland of Gaelic football. Well done to all involved.
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    Timely that OwlsFan revived the thread, as Dynamos debate whether to enter the Under-17 League, now that the KDL have pulled the plug on their entry. That said, the KDL had good groynds for refusing, such as no dual registration, the requirement of a professional physio and a coach with a UEFA B licence (to be A next season), and estimated €20,000 seasonal costs, so not sure how Tralee will be able to afford going national, when they're still recovering from the A Championship.

    The KDL haven't pulled the plug yet. They're having a delegate meeting on the subject today week. When it was raised on their Facebook page that having two Tralee-based teams wasn't a good idea, they simply deleted the post. Does anybody have an idea what's going on?

    Would it be an idea for all the clubs in Kerry to knock heads and start a Kerry FC or something of the likes, run by the KDL with an input from all the clubs for the benefit of football in the region? Or, is it a case, like the rest of the country where they're all fighting for scraps amongst each other?

    That was the plan initially, I believe, however Dynamos have now gone off their own bat, after the Kerry's Eye report. If there needs to be two Kerry clubs in the U17 league, the second should be Killarney Celtic, not the KDL. Kerry FC would only work as the sole LOI club in the county.

    That's what it is really.
    Its the same all over the country where clubs won't work for the greater good in case they lose out themselves.
    They have always failed to understand that if the overall product gets stronger it will benefit themselves as well.

    So, the KDL will discuss their own entry at the League's monthly meeting on Monday, even while Dynamos are setting up an exploratory committee, which would involve many of the same clubs! Perhaps there may be room for two Kerry teams in the same national league, but both would be looking to pick players from Fenit, Dingle, Killarney Celtic, etc, so some co-ordination between both sides will be required.
