Mastergeeha Football Club has been awarded €5,000 as part of the Texaco Support for Sport initiative. The local club was chosen as the Kerry winner from a competitive pool of applicants.

Founded in 1979, Mastergeeha FC has grown significantly to become one of the largest rural-based soccer clubs in Kerry. With over 400 members, the club caters to players of all ages, from under-5s to senior level.

The funding will be used to upgrade the club's training pitch floodlights, a much-needed improvement for the growing membership.
The Texaco Support for Sport initiative, now in its fourth year, has distributed over €500,000 to Irish sports clubs since its inception.

Texaco ambassador and former rugby international Donncha O’Callaghan praised Mastergeeha FC as a "very deserving winner" and highlighted the club's vital role in the local community.

Entries for the 2025 Texaco Support for Sport initiative will open in the autumn.

There were celebrations at Raheen National School this week as SNA Gráinne Lenihan presented a cheque for €5,302.23 to Principal Joan Mullane, the proceeds from her recent skydiving fundraiser in aid of the school.

Gráinne organised the ‘Her Health, Her Power’ initiative last July, which culminated in her completing a skydive in August to raise funds for Raheen NS. The money will go towards the development of the school pitch and a new perimeter race track for the entire Raheen community.
Pictured at the presentation were members of the parents’ committee Joan Bowler, Máire O’Leary, and Ann Marie Donovan, along with school staff Norrissa O’Donoghue, Conor Coffey, Linda Farrell, and Mark Egan, joined by the delighted students of Raheen NS.
