Intermediate final to be played in Tralee

The Intermediate Championship final between Glenflesk and Kilcummin will be played this Sunday, May 6 at 4pm in Austin Stack Park. Locals had been hoping that Fitzgerald Stadium would be the chosen venue but the massive, all-East Kerry decider will instead form part of a double-header with the Junior Premier final in Tralee.

The clubs, who recently collaborated on the novel Oskars fundraiser, both impressed in their respective semi-finals this past weekend despite being underdogs, and will now face each other with senior status – and a potential crack at the Intermediate All-Ireland – on the line.

Glenflesk eventually ran out six-point winners against a Bryan Sheehan-inspired St Mary’s in Killorglin on Saturday, while a cracking Kevin McCarthy goal helped Kilcummin to come out the right side of a one-point game against Templenoe on Sunday. It will be Glenflesk’s first Intermediate final in 19 years. Kilcummin will be trying to make an immediate return to senior level having been relegated in 2017.

School Dayz

Transition Year students at Killarney Community College spent last Tuesday learning the skills to become baristas.

They completed a full-day training course and are now qualified to make coffee, which could make them very employable in local cafes and restaurants this summer.
Their teachers, who are described as the school’s “resident coffee experts,” were impressed with the students’ hard work and enjoyed the lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos the students made throughout the day.
In addition to their barista training, the TY students also took a trip to Mallow. There, they learned about the rules of the road, practiced the driver theory test, and many got behind the wheel of a car for the first time. They also learned about the dangers of speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

Two of Killarney’s rising musical talents, Amano and Lillie Foley, are set to perform their first ever joint headline concert at the ANAM Cultural Centre.

Singer-songwriter and sean nós singer Amano will bring her ‘Mythilligocial Meitheal Tour’ home for a special live performance of both her contemporary and traditional music.

Joining her on the night is local rising star Lillie Foley, making it a special event to celebrate two young Killarney songwriters making their mark on the Irish music scene. The event is supported by Kerry County Council Arts Office.

Amano, described by Hot Press in 2024 as an “idiosyncratic talent” is comfortable performing in both English and Irish, draws influences from alt-folk, R&B, and traditional sean-nós singing.

Her project THREAD was nominated for Irish language Album and Song of the year at the Gradaim Nós in 2024.

Her recent singles, ‘Burn’ and ‘The Birthing House’, have received airplay on RTÉ Radio 1, Radio Kerry, and Raidió na Life.

Lillie Foley, a 22-year-old singer who recently graduated from the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance with a BA in Voice, has released two debut singles in 2025, ‘Someday’ and ‘That’s Life’, which blend pop, soul, and folk genres.

The event is supported by Kerry County Council Arts Office.

The concert will take place on May 23, at the ANAM Cultural Centre in Killarney, starting at 7:00pm. Tickets are available from €15 plus a booking fee on Ticketpass.org.
