Decades of rivalry between the Feale Rangers and Shannon Rangers district sides will be set aside and with one team set to represent north Kerry in the county championship. The ground breaking news emerged at this month's county board meeting. 

This is subject to the CCC being able to accommodate a request from the two entities to merge into one team and if it can be done, a decision will be taken at the April meeting of the board.
