New team from Kerry in Div 1 next year, is that the first time

Did Tralee dynamos play league of ireland, or was it munster senior league?

Interesting!!!! I can only comment that Sonas are a fine company from my experience with them. I’ve only been in their Dublin location, out by the airport somewhere.

Nope. This is the first Kerry team in the LoI. A very welcome addition. Billy Dennehy is one of the people behind it and from what I’ve read they are going about it the right way. The best of luck to them.

He stepped back last year but is still on the board.

I can picture kerry winning their first three matches and the manager been interviewed on rte. Yerra we are poor enough
to be honest, we are very young and were very lucky to win those matches,

Seems like a fantastic deal for everyone. Welcome to Cork Mr. Usher

Hopefully the deal is the one City have been needing for a decade at this stage

Have you ever seen a deal so perfectly set up for puns and the media though?

City finally see sonas at the end of the tunnel
New deal leaves Cork City in the toilet
Dermot doesn't let the sun go down on Cork City

They're welcome to it!

Hopefully this is the deal City have needed and the stability with it. Sonas have grown very quickly and grabbed a big chunk of the sanitary ware market here, they are very good to deal with. I dont know anything about Ushers background or what kind of money would be there. An inevitable dip in construction is incoming so hoping this wouldn't matter to Sonas bigger picture, although he is hardly unaware of it either.

Has Usher a Cork background?
