Geography Project - Castlegregory

From 1956-1961, my great uncle Jack Dowling 
was a member on the Kerry  football team.
He played in two All Ireland Finals in Croke Park.
This must be some part of where I get my interest in football.

County Kerry is  south of Ireland.Kerrys coast

is facing out towards the Atlantic Ocean

 so it has plenty of beaches along  the west coast.

Kerry holds the longest beach in Ireland.Stretching

 12 miles long, it starts in Cloghane and runs unbroken

 throughFermoyle, Castlegregory and Maharees.

You are ableto drive your car  along  the 12 mile stretch beach.

I have always loved playing sports. Football was the first sport I began to play competitively, which I began playing at twelve.

Ever since then I've been really involved in both my local club and the county team - Kildare. I've made the Kildare team twice, and currently playing for them. This is where it all begins, my love for the sport has encouraged me to begin my project on the topic and I'm starting with my great uncle, who also played for his home county - Kerry.
