Organisers of the annual Winter Solstice Charity Walk on the Paps of Anú are considering replacing the traditional event with a new fixture in February, following years of poor weather causing disruption.

The annual walk was postponed for the last wo years due to extremely hazardous weather conditions.
As a result, organisers are now looking at establishing a potential alternative event to take place over the St Brigid’s bank holiday weekend in February for future years. The move would mark a shift away from the traditional December Winter Solstice date.

Kerry FC has announced the extension of its lead sponsorship deal with Kerry Airport Ireland for the entire 2026 season.

To mark the news, the club has opened a pop-up Christmas shop located in the Arrivals Hall of Kerry Airport, which opened on Tuesday, this week.

The new Kerry FC kits for the upcoming season have arrived in time for Christmas and are available for purchase at the pop-up shop and online.

The new home kit is green with a white and gold stripe, while the away kit features black with a gold-plated crest and trim.

Basil Sheerin, Chief Financial Officer of Kerry Airport Ireland, expressed pride in continuing the partnership. “The Kerry FC story is one of success and community spirit with the entire county uniting behind the club since it was established,”

Mr. Sheerin said. He noted that the increasing level of performance, particularly during the run to the FAI Cup Semi-Final against eventual winners Shamrock Rovers, has inspired fans of all ages.

“Kerry Airport recognises the crucial role that sport plays in bringing communities together… We are proud to play our part by extending our sponsorship of Kerry FC and we are looking forward to working closely with the club in 2026,” Mr. Sheerin concluded.

Jerseys are on sale now from the club’s website at https://kerryfc.com/shop. Full details of fixtures and Season Tickets are available from www.KerryFC.com.
