From Dr Crokes Park to Croke Park

Published

By Eamonn Fitzgerald

An inter-county football match will be staged on club grounds this weekend in a move that is unusual by Kerry standards, as Kerry face Waterford in the Munster McGrath Cup at the newly renamed Dr Crokes Park.

The game, with a 2.00pm throw-in on Sunday, January 11, will be Kerry’s first home outing since last July’s All-Ireland final victory and marks the first senior inter-county fixture at the rebranded Dr Crokes venue.
Kerry home games in Killarney are traditionally played at Fitzgerald Stadium.
The All Ireland champions began their McGrath Cup campaign with a 0-16 to 0-14 win over Clare on Tuesday night, fielding a very experimental side due to injuries, retirements and player availability.
Manager Jack O’Connor has used the competition to give opportunities to fringe and younger players, including Tomas Kennedy, who impressed at full forward.
With several senior players still unavailable, Kerry are focused on building depth ahead of the 2026 National League, which begins at home to Roscommon on January 25. Sunday’s game offers another chance for local club players to stake a claim as Kerry begin the long road from Dr Crokes Park with hopes of returning to Croke Park later in the year.

The O’Leary brothers, performing as The Three O’s Male Vocal Group, have raised €1,055 for the MS South Kerry Branch following their annual Christmas concert.

The event, held on December 23 marked over a decade of continuous support from the brothers for the charity.
Derek, Karl, and Conor O’Leary started the tradition to honour the memory of their late mother, who lived with Multiple Sclerosis for nearly 30 years before passing away in 2011. The brothers organised the event as a way to thank the MS South Kerry Branch for the support provided to their mother and family throughout her illness.
“The MS South Kerry Branch were always there for our mother and for us,” said Derek. “By running this event every year, we hope we can give back in some small way and help other families going through the same struggles we once did”.
The funds raised will assist the South Kerry Branch in providing vital services, including therapy, transport assistance, and respite care for local families living with MS. The brothers expressed their gratitude to the local community for their continued generosity over the last ten years.
