World domination for Áine Murphy dancers in Chicago
Six dancers from the Áine Murphy Dance Academy in Gneeveguilla have returned from Chicago following a massive haul of medals and titles at the World Irish Dance Championships.
The highlight of the trip saw Marcus O’Sullivan from Milltown crowned World Champion in the Under 13 Boys category.
This is Marcus’s third consecutive world title, a feat that follows his All-Ireland win in Killarney earlier this spring.
His year has been further marked by a personal invitation from Michael Flatley to perform at the 30th-anniversary opening of Lord of the Dance.
In the Under 19 competition, Kilcummin’s Caoimhe O’Halloran secured a podium finish, bringing a coveted World Globe back to Kerry.
Her success is particularly notable as she missed last year’s event due to injury and is currently preparing for her Leaving Certificate.
Eleven-year-old Isabelle O’Sullivan from Rathmore also reached the world stage podium, finishing 6th in the Under 12 category.
Her sister, Grace O’Sullivan, and Kayla Fleming from Brosna both successfully made the final recall in their divisions, while Killarney’s Grace O’Leary achieved a personal best in her first-ever World Championship appearance.
The Academy expressed their gratitude to the local businesses, families, and communities whose fundraising efforts made the trip to the United States possible.
Fashion show raises vital funds for Hospice expansion
The annual Models in Recovery Fashion Show drew a massive crowd to the Gleneagle Arena on Wednesday night, raising vital funds for the Kerry Hospice Foundation.
Organised by the Killarney Branch of Kerry Hospice, the evening featured female and male models who are all in recovery from various forms of cancer.
Guests arrived to a wine reception before enjoying entertainment from the Liam O’Connor family. Donegal TV personality Noel Cunningham returned as host for the night, keeping the packed audience entertained throughout the show.
Among those taking to the runway was Spa clubman Dan O’Donoghue, a two-time County Senior Football Championship winning captain with East Kerry.
All proceeds from the event will go toward a planned €6.5 million, five-bed extension to the existing hospice unit.
