Kerry Businesswomen’s Network might be serious about business – but they know that there are plenty less obvious ways of encouraging inspiration, building bonds, and crossing bridges!

So tomorrow (Sunday), to celebrate International Women’s Day, they’ve planned a 5km fundraising walk ‘March for Change’ in the Demesne, Killarney, starting and ending at the Golden Gates in front of Killarney House, beginning at 10.30am.

All proceeds will go to the Kerry Rape & Sexual Abuse Centre, and the Kerry Women’s Refuge & Support Centre.

The Network has chosen International Women’s Day to show solidarity with two essential support organisations for women in Kerry, on whose services, so many women continue to rely on in their hour of need. If you haven’t personally used these services, then most of us are likely to know someone who has at some point in their life; we just may not aware that we do.

“This 5km walk is a way to support our fellow Kerry women, to raise funds for these much-needed resources, and a time to reconnect or get to know other women in a more relaxed, unhurried way,” Elin Sorensen, KBN’s Chairperson said.

“The event is also a way of encouraging women to get out there and make the most of the beautiful county we live in while racking up a whole lot of healthy benefits.”

KBN helps women play a bigger, better, and more fulfilling role in their businesses and in society. Whether you’re an entrepreneur carving out your place in business, a corporate player on the fast-track, women keen to get back into business after a career break or simply someone who sometimes feels you’re missing a connection somewhere – you’ll find your place with them.

Tickets are €10 and are available on Eventbrite, Facebook, and kbn.ie.

O’Leary and Lynch among local stars as Kerry win Camogie league final

Published

The “trilogy” between Kerry and Meath ended in triumph for the Kingdom on Saturday, as the Kerry Intermediate Camogie team secured the Division 2 league title in Banagher.


In a match dominated by a fierce breeze and relentless defending, Kerry edged out their rivals by 1-07 to 0-08. While the scoreboard remained low, the impact of the Killarney-area players was a decisive factor in securing Division 1B status for next season.
Kate Lynch of Glenflesk, a mainstay of the attack this season, started in the forward line and contributed to an offensive effort that gradually wore down the Meath backline. However, it was the second-half introduction of Rathmore dual star Danielle O’Leary that helped shift the momentum.
Entering the game in the 43rd minute, O’Leary sharpened the Kerry attack during the intense midfield battles of the final quarter. Her impact was most evident when she combined with fellow substitute Shannon Collins to set up Patrice Diggin’s only score from play, providing the platform for the game’s decisive moment.
In the 55th minute, Collins fired a low shot into the net to nudge Kerry ahead. Despite a late Meath rally, Patrice Diggin held her nerve to slot over two late dead-ball scores to seal the win.
While Kathryn Ryan, Áine Devlin, and Tiarna Dineen were part of the matchday panel and have played key roles throughout this unbeaten campaign, they were not called upon from the bench on this occasion.
Scorers for Kerry: P Diggin 0-07 (4fs, 2 45s); S Collins 1-00
Kerry: A Fitzgerald, T McCarthy, S Murphy, M Costello, R Quinn, N Leen, E O’Donoghue, P Diggin, C Spillane, A O’Sullivan, J Horgan, K Lynch, R O’Connor, L Collins, E Conway. Subs: D O’Leary for Conway, S Collins for Lynch (43); A Behan for Quinn (43)
