Issue 50. That's right, 50.

Rugby, Thanks, Beaches, Thanks

April 11, 2025

Good Morning! and Welcome,

To issue No.50: This week, issue 50. Can you believe it? I can’t. When I started this, I wasn’t sure I’d get 50 people reading it, yet here we are, 700+ of us, on issue 50. Thanks for reading, joining in & supporting. You are all, very goo

South Kerry by the numbers:

  • 29.7: % of you think Derrynane is the best beach in South Kerry

  • 22.2: % of you feel Ballinskelligs deserves that title.

  • 44: % of you are spending your time on our beaches swimming; keep an eye out for the 2.13% that are crab fishing.

Now, I know I said no more houses, but I also know I’m not the only one that finds looking at houses they’ll never afford unbelievably compelling. €1,395,000 will get you this.

First, a word from this week’s sponsor

Calling alkl South Kerry girls aged 8-14, compliment your existing sports or find something new with Iveragh Eagles Give It A Try programme. The majority of girls that joined our first year will be competing in Munster finals this weekend, to a woman, they love it & you will too. So sign up to learn some new skills without any boys annoying you

Best Beach in South Kerry?

Thanks to all of you who have voted so far. Not being anything of a swimmer, I was shocked to find Derrynane is the top dog, surely Ballinskellings is a better beach for swimming on/in? Also no votes for a secret beach? Am I the only one amongst us that wants a bit of isolation now and again?

Also, only one new beach? There must be some more I’ve missed, just

A new game

So, last week, I asked if any of you had been playing this & Oracler par excellance David Shorthall responds with this:

An image he entitled, “The Most Frustrating Puzzle Ever” Bravo David! Is he right? Click below, we’ll do a new one next week

It’s The Signs of South Kerry 🎺🎺🎺

One for the purists this week

Congratulations to last week’s winners

There were too many of you to mention. I’d just like to shout out to the Oracler who proved you don’t have to read the newsletter to enjoy it, by suggesting that last weeks iconic photo of Mick O’Dwyer outside his garage was actually Clifford’s Garage Cahersiveen & the young lad, Johnny Clifford.

We will start a directory

I’ve made it before midday! Apologies to everything I’ve missed, time, as ever, is a factor.

To those brave two I still haven’t delivered magnets too, it’s nothing personal, just see the above sentence.
