Killarney RFC launched their Sponsor a Sod campaign last Tuesday at Aghadoe with the help of Ireland Ladies captain Ciara Griffin. The club is actively seeking sponsors for each virtual square metre of their main pitch to support the development of improved drainage on their main and minis pitches.

Funds raised will enable the club to start the works immediately to ensure they have good and safe playing surfaces come September.

The Sponsor a Sod campaign will also supplement the Sports Capital Grant funding received from the government. Each square metre costs €25, or you can sponsor five for €100. Everyone who opts to sponsor five or more sods will go into a draw for super prizes, including tickets for one of Ireland's Autumn Internationals (which feature world champions New Zealand) this November!

You can sponsor a virtual sod online at https://www.krfc.club/sponsor-a-sod/

Tickets are available to purchase from any club member and we would appeal to all club members, supporters, players and parents to support this vital fundraiser.

The annual Killarney Regatta Dance took place on September 25 as rowers, families and supporters came together to celebrate their successful year.

The racing was cancelled in September due to bad weather.

The Killarney Regatta is one of Ireland’s oldest rowing events, having first begun in 1788.

The dance took place at the Killarney Oaks Hotel where there was a lot of excitement and fun. Six rowing clubs, Fossa, Workman’s, St Brendan’s, Commercials, Flesk Valley, and Muckross, came together to celebrate the community and its shared history.

Amelia Counihan was crowned as the Regatta Queen.

The Queen represents the spirit pride and grace of the rowing community and has been a tradition in the club for generations.

Workman’s Rowing Club congratulated Amelia and described her as a woman who embodies everything that their tradition stands for.

The club said: “Queen is more than a title — it is a celebration of history, community, and the spirit of Killarney rowing.”
