Oskars co-stars share the spoils

Published

on

Division 2
Glenflesk 1-11
Kilcummin 1-11

Off the field, the GAA clubs of Glenflesk and Kilcummin have come together in recent weeks to collaborate on a novel fund-raising project that saw members recreate scenes from famous movies and TV shows. It's great to see two fierce rivals join forces in such a positive manner but the armistice was set to one side for an hour last Sunday as their respective senior teams came head-to-head in Division 2 of the County League.

Fittingly, both clubs walked away with a share of the spoils.

Glenflesk started well in Barraduff and a goal from the dangerous Darragh Roche gave them an early advantage. Kilcummin finished the first half strongly, however, and a Damien O’Leary goal along with points from Noel Duggan had them two points up at the break.

Kilcummin still led by two midway through the second but after substitute Shane McSweeney got the road, a pair of points from Roche drew Glenflesk level. Donal Maher put the visitors ahead very late on but Roche was on hand again to convert a long range free to save the day for Glenflesk.

The Kerry Education and Training Board (Kerry ETB) has been awarded €2.3 million in funding to purchase the former Pretty Polly site on Upper Park Road, Killarney.

The funding, announced this morning by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, will allow Kerry ETB to develop the site as a new Tourism Sector Training College. The proposed facility will focus on training for the hospitality and tourism industries.
Kerry TD Michael Cahill described the announcement as “a major vote of confidence in Killarney and the wider Kerry tourism industry.”
“This is immense news for the town,” said Deputy Cahill. “It will mark Killarney out officially as the tourism capital of Ireland by providing a Hospitality Sector Training College right in the heart of the county.”
Deputy Cahill said he had been advocating for such a development since entering the Dáil, adding that the investment “will be a gamechanger for the hospitality sector in Killarney and Kerry.”
He also recalled the former CERT training centre that operated at the Torc Great Southern Hotel in the 1970s, noting that this new project would revive that legacy for a new generation of tourism professionals.
The Pretty Polly site, vacant for many years, will now be transformed into a key educational and economic hub for the region once the project proceeds.
