Camogie legend Veronica Stack remembered at Killarney club tournament
Killarney Camogie Club’s Veronica Stack Tournament took place in Spa on Sunday under glorious sunshine with thrilling matches across all age groups.
The event, held in memory of Veronica Stack and her contribution to the sport of camogie in the Killarney area, saw teams compete in U8, U12, U15 and junior divisions.
Veronica's father Hugh, husband Jason, and sisters Joyce and Clodagh were all on hand to award medals to the participating players. Also present were Veronica's daughters, Sadhbh, Kate and Niamh, who also played in the junior game, adding a very special touch to the day's events.
Teams from Iniscarra, Cillard, Ballinascarty, Causeway, and Killarney took to the field in the U8, U12, and U15 games, with the Killarney junior team playing an in-house match with players from other clubs adding their skills on the day.
Killarney Camogie Club expressed their gratitude to Michael Cronin and Spa GAA club for the use of their fantastic facilities. The excellent clubhouse, pitches, coffee dock and amenities contributed significantly to the smooth running of the tournament.
The day also saw the presentation of new jerseys to the club’s newly formed junior team, who will participate in the Mai O'Connell Tournament in November. The gear was kindly sponsored by Maginn Machinery Ltd, who were represented by Peggy Brosnan.
The Veronica Stack Camogie Tournament was a resounding success thanks to the fantastic weather, the enthusiastic participation of all the teams, and the tireless efforts of the volunteers, referees, and the committee.
The club say they are already looking forward to welcoming everyone back next year for another exciting tournament.

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.
