WELL done to the Killarney Legion under-14 boys who became the fourth Legion team in the last four years to win the highly competitive East Kerry Division 1 League.

Having been successful in 2014, 2015 and 2016 this year's team came out on top in a very difficult group stage where they advanced to beat Glenflesk in the final. “The collective effort by the players and management saw the team turn in a matchwinning performance against a very competitive and gallant Glenflesk,” said Killarney Legion chairman Enda Walshe.

“The lads needed to be at their best to win that game and the win was due reward for the hard work done by both team and management. As a club we are very proud of our four-in-a-row in what is our opinion the best district competition in the county.

“The lads enjoyed a celebration at our generous team sponsors Four Star Pizza and no doubt attention will now turn to keeping this panel together and continue to improve and progress as they climb up the juvenile ranks.”

Three families taking centre stage with Killarney Musical Society

Killarney Musical Society’s upcoming production of ‘All Shook Up’ will feature multiple generations of three different families performing side by side.

The show will run from February 10 to 12 in the Gleneagle Arena. Tickets for the highly anticipated show are on sale now.
Music is well known to bring people of all ages together, and this is clearly evident within the Killarney Musical Society, where several families are sharing the stage this year.
The Spillane/Murray family boasts three generations in the production. Phil Spillane has been an active member since she joined KMS in September 1989.
This year, she performs alongside her daughter Amanda and her granddaughter Caoimhe, who is playing the character Lorraine. All three agree they are having great fun practising dance steps and harmonies together and will treasure this time forever.
Mother and daughter Annie and Alannah McIlroy are taking the stage together for the first time. Annie appeared in the 2023 production of Michael Collins, while Alannah joined the cast last year for Evita. They state that the best part of performing together is the quality time they share, not just during rehearsals but on the journeys to and from them, as both share a deep love for musicals.
Finally, the mother and daughter pair of Linda and Eilise O’Donoghue continue a family tradition. While Linda’s father was involved with KMS back in 1986, Linda herself joined in 2015 after being persuaded by her daughter Eilise, who has been a member since 2012. Before each performance, the two rely on each other: Eilise checks Linda’s hair and makeup, while Linda makes sure Eilise’s costume is perfect. They also enjoy practising their alto lines together, making the experience especially meaningful.
The society looks forward to welcoming audiences to the Gleneagle Arena for the three-night run of ‘All Shook Up’ next February.
