THE HOLY TERRORS

The Holy Terrors were a hurling club based around Ballinclogher Cross in the hurling heartland of North Kerry.

Now defunct, their nickname was well-earned through decades of fierce competition with equally fierce local rivals.

Men from the Ballinclogher parish were members of the Kerry hurling team to win the county’s sole All Ireland title in 1891. They won playing barefoot, in their trousers.
