1984 was the last time Killarney Camogie Club competed at Féile. In April, history was made again for the camogie girls who defeated Tralee Parnells to secure their position as one of two clubs representing Kerry in Connacht from June 8-10.

Killarney had a strong tradition of camogie up to the late 1980s. In 2008, camogie was reintroduced to Killarney by Dr Crokes GAA Club. Building on this new beginning and recognising the importance of promoting the participation of girls in sport, the Killarney Camogie Club was reformed in 2012. The Killarney Camogie Club is an inclusive organisation welcoming all players from the wider Killarney area. The club has grown considerably over the past number of years and with this trip to Féile, we are hoping the club will continue to thrive and encourage more girls to participate in team sports.

The club has received massive support over the last two months from local businesses, clubs and schools to help with raising the necessary funds for this trip and they have thanked everyone who has contributed. It’s a once in a lifetime trip for the girls involved and something they will treasure forever. Best of luck to all involved!

Killarney Camogie Club will be training from 6.30-7.30pm every Monday in Spa GAA for the next few months. New girls aged 6-14 are always welcome
