Organisers of the recent Rentokil Initial Killarney Historic Rally have come up with a novel way to raise funds for St Francis Special School in Beaufort.

A limited number of the event’s official programmes have been returned from the shops.

The 'Rallypak’ includes the programme, a 2023 rally calendar and a double-sided A3 poster.

The pack cost €15 on the weekend of the rally, however, Killarney and District Motor Club have decided to sell off the remaining programmes for the same price, including post and packing, with all proceeds going to St Francis Special School.

“Only a small number of 2022 programmes have been returned from local shops,” Clerk of the Course, Anthony O’Connor, said.

“We would like to thank you again for your kind support.”

Programmes can be ordered via killarneyanddistrictmotorclub.ie.

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.

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.
