Kerry Stars host glittering ball

Published

THIS time last year Kerry and Rathmore GAA legend Aidan O'Mahony was perfecting his moves ahead of his winning turn on RTE's Dancing with the Stars. But this December he was dancing with superstars on home ground when he was guest of honour at the Kerry Stars Special Olympics Club annual black-tie ball in The Malton Hotel.

They sure know how to party so it comes as no surprise that the club members' 12th annual gala celebration was an epic success.

Kerry Stars athlete Emma Dolan was MC along with broadcaster Brendan Fuller who was introduced to the gathering by another athlete, Martina McCarthy.

Popular band Arklight ensured the dancing continued until late.

Kerry Stars Special Olympics Club has over 100 athletes and provides a number of activities including a leadership programme.

Basketball will be added to its portfolio in the New Year, in conjunction with the Scotts Lakers St Paul’s Killarney club.
