Fitzgerald Stadium will learn tomorrow (Monday) what matches it will host during this year’s Munster Football Championship. The GAA is set to announce the championship draw at 7.30am during RTE Radio 1’s Morning Ireland programme.

Kerry will face either Clare, Waterford or Limerick in the opening round which is scheduled for June 26 and 27. The venue for this match will also be announced on Monday.

If Kerry succeed in Round One, they will face either of last year’s Munster finalists in the semi-final stage and if they draw Cork that match will certainly be played in the Killarney stadium. If they don’t succeed in Round One it is highly possible that Fitzgerald Stadium won’t host any championship match this season.

“The Munster Senior Football Championship is a knock-out open draw. Four teams are in the pot for the quarter-finals – Kerry, Clare, Limerick, and Waterford,” said a GAA statement. “The two quarter-final winners will advance to the semi-finals where an open draw will pit them against either defending champions Tipperary or Cork."

The potential Cork v Kerry Munster clash in Killarney will mark the first time since 2017 that two sides meet at Munster championship level in the local stadium.

Two young local girls showed great business initiative on Saturday ahead of the Kerry v Donegal match at Fitzgerald Stadium.

Erin McSweeney and Jessie Doolin set up a sweet stall outside a house on Lewis Road, catching the thousands of football fans walking towards the grounds.

The enterprising pair did a busy trade selling soft drinks, sweets, and chocolates to the passing crowds before throw-in.

Their match-day venture also caught the attention of the national sports media, with a photograph of the girls at their stall captured by Sportsfile photographer Stephen McCarthy ahead of the game.

Conor Pass photo captures top spot in Camera Club competition

Noel O’Neill has claimed first place in the Unrestricted category of the latest Killarney Camera Club competition, which focused on the theme of the ‘Kerry Landscape’.

His winning photograph, titled ‘Conor Pass Lake and the Three Sisters’, features a detailed study of Mullaghveal located beneath the Conor Pass.

The image captures the wide sweep of the valley, utilizing an elevated viewpoint that allows the glacial landscape to unfold toward the Atlantic horizon. The composition highlights the quiet lakes in the foreground against the dark, rocky slopes of the valley, with the distant outline of the Three Sisters adding further depth and scale to the scene.

The judges praised the photograph as an outstanding example of landscape work, noting its effective balance of composition, light, and perspective to capture the vastness of the West Kerry terrain.
