Kerry Cricket Club honour their former president Denis Moylan with memorial match
Kerry CC chairman Dave Ramsay said Denis said was one of the most extraordinary characters and cricketers to have graced the club. A brilliant batsman, raconteur and musician, Denis always wore a smile and brought a sense of fun to every match he was involved with. His widow, Noël, was presented with a memorial plaque.
The MCC has enjoyed good weather on past visits, but luck in that regard finally ran out on Monday. However, the MCC showed gallant determination to play cricket, as the two sides took the field to defy squally rain and blustery winds.
MCC batted first and compiled an impressive 202 off 25 overs. Jarman (43 off 28 balls) smashed three 6s and three 4s before Khurram flattened his stumps; Sane also batted fluently for 59n.o. For the Kerry bowling attack, Awais Saghir did most damage, finishing with 3 for 17 off 5 overs.
In reply, Kerry couldn't match the scoring rate of their talented visitors, Alam Morshed (21) and captain Braden Warnke (20) top scored, but collectively the batting line-up failed to find the boundary often enough to equal the daunting run rate of 8 per over.
With the score on 109 for 5, the weather worsened and the players yielded to the elements. It was a huge credit to both sides that they managed to battle through 41 overs in such stormy conditions.
MCC XI: 202 for 7 (25 overs) v County Kerry XI: 109 for 5 (16 overs). No result.
MCU Division 1
On Saturday at the Oyster Oval, a Munster Division 1 match was abandoned due to rain: a huge frustration for Harlequins captain and wicketkeeper C Stevenson, who scored a classy 110 for the visitors before the weather forced abandonment.
Cork Harlequins 2nd XI: 212/4 v County Kerry 2nd XI: 0/0 Rain Interruption. No result.
MCU Division 3 T20 competition
Kerry 4th XI had a great day in Shannon on Saturday. Given a walkover against Cork County in the first match of the day, they then smashed 199 against Clare 3rd XI. Kerry batted first and after losing 3 wickets cheaply, Libin Philip(70) and Jonnalagadda (68) forged an unbeaten partnership of 135.
Pardashi (41) top scored for Clare in the reply, but when rain intervened in the 17th over of the chase, the DLS calculation showed Kerry to be 14 runs ahead.
Kerry CC 4th XI: 199/3 v Clare CC 3rd XI: 151/7 (Kerry win by 14 runs, DLS method)
MCU Division 2: T20 competition
The Kerry 3rd XI didn't enjoy the success of their Division 3 colleagues, losing a tight match against Limerick 3rd XI in the morning before a heavy loss to Clare 2nd XI in the evening match on Sunday.
Limerick 3rd XI: 169 for 7 (20 overs) beat Kerry 3rd XI: 140 for 9 (20 overs) by 29 runs.
Kerry 3rd XI: a.o. 59 (13.3 overs) lost to Clare 2nd XI: 60 for 2 (7.4 overs) by 8 wickets.

Refs must retain right to adjudge kick-out mark infringements, insists Deegan
Football Review Committee member Maurice Deegan says referees have to retain the authority to interpret the 50-metre kick-out mark penalty as they see fit. Three-time All-Ireland final referee Deegan revealed he has received several messages following this past weekend's All-Ireland SFC Round 2 games where there were several instances of the rule being implemented. In the Cork-Kerry game in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday, referee Derek O'Mahoney exercised the 50m advancement on several occasions much to the ire of both managers John Cleary and Jack O'Connor. In the second half, Cork were adjudged to have obstructed Kerry a few times and as per rule the visitors took the option of bringing the resultant free advanced 50m outside the arc for a two-point free. Deegan is adamant it should be left up to referees to determine what constitutes an obstruction within four metres of a kick-out mark. 'That part of the rule has been there for some time now but it's probably being more enforced now. 'As for it being policed a bit too harshly, I don't think so. I would say the lads are policing it correctly. You're probably seeing more implementing it to the letter of the law. 'Every referee is different in how they judge certain facets of the game. It's like the advantage rule, which now has no time limit in football. The extent of the advantage given is open to the interpretation of the referee. 'There had been a time limit of kick-outs earlier this year but there is none now and that is also up to the referee and what he thinks is the acceptable amount of time for the 'keeper to take the kick. You don't want to take that out of the referee's hands either. 'The rules are being scrutinised like never before and I can understand where they are coming from. Nobody should want to take the power out of the referee's hands. It would be the wrong to do that. You have to trust the referee. It's the same in every walk of life, everyone is different.' Deegan accepts the point that the act of a player in unsuccessfully challenging to claim a kick-out shouldn't be considered as a tackle within the four metres. 'No, that isn't a challenge in that sense. If two players are coming down to the ground, you would imagine that is fine and the player who wins the mark either takes it or plays on.'

Premier League announce inflation-busting ticket cap as football fans rejoice and say ‘EFL, take note'
PREMIER LEAGUE away ticket prices will continue to be capped at £30. The rule was introduced in 2016 and has resulted in away attendances increasing from 82 to 91 per cent. Advertisement 1 Premier League clubs have voted to maintain the cap on away ticket prices Credit: Getty Prem clubs have unanimously voted for the cap to stay in place. That means next season will be the tenth year away fans will pay £30 or less to watch their teams on the road. It is a win for fans of clubs in the top flight but supporters in the rest of the pyramid are calling for the EFL to implement a similar rule. One fan said: "@EFL Take notes 👍🏼" Advertisement READ MORE IN FOOTBALL Another added: "Why are the EFL not acting on this?" A third wrote: "Needs to be £20 in the Championship, Division 1 & 2." And another commented: "Eventually clubs not being money grabbers." A total of 953,420 people were at the 380 top-flight matches during the 2024-25 season.
