The Killarney Legion Under 15 Ladies Feile adventure continues this Saturday when they travel to Moyle Rovers GAA in County Tipperary, where they will represent Kerry in the Regional Feile finals for 2024.

Having won the Kerry competition in May, the girls now advance to the regional finals where they are drawn to play teams from Limerick, Wexford and Westmeath in the group stages.
A lot of hard work has been put in behind the scenes within the club to fundraise for the occasion. A club bingo night was a roaring success which was followed by the clubs annual Under 10 girls’ blitz during which a monster bake sale was held.
The club also embarked on a Re-Turn to Feile initiative, whereby members were asked to donate their plastic bottles and cans so the club could benefit from a Re-Turn refund.
“Great credit goes to our Under 15 ladies on not only qualifying for the event but in the way they took ownership of the fundraising ideas we put in place to self-fund the occasion,” said Ladies Chairperson Ted Healy.
“Special mention also to our young ladies families for the support received over the past few weeks. Of course these events don’t run themselves and would not have been possible but for the hard work of a group of volunteers behind the scenes and the support of all club members.”
“We are very grateful to all our sponsors who very kindly got behind our events in donating prizes for our bingo night and indeed to all who contributed the delicious home baking to our bake sale. “
“It has been great to see the club get behind this group of young women to ensure Saturday is a day that will live long in the memory.”
The team were presented with their new Feile gear at training on Tuesday night where the excitement was palpable.
The group, who play at both Under 14 and under 16 level in the club, have been looked after this year by Ted Healy, Kieran O Shea, Donal O Leary, Timmie Joe Fleming, John Bowler, Shane MacSweeney, Sharon O Shea and Noelle O Brien. The team is being captained by full back Liadan Coleman.
The team bus departs Killarney at 7am Saturday morning when the adventure continues.

Students from St Brendan’s College have given €600 to Kerry Hospice.

The money was raised from their book, ‘Futures from the Past’ which was published in April 2024.
Teacher Mary Denise Lyons and students Divo Lucic Kovacevii, Michéal McElligott, and Jaroslav Stetsenko handed over the funds to Cathal Walshe of Kerry Hospice.
‘Futures from the Past’ is a book written by current and retired writers, as well as students from St Brendan’s College.
This donation is the second from the book, with €800 donated last year and €600 this year.
The book was created to allow students to use their imaginations to explore the past and think about the future. It involved students from Poetry Ireland’s Writers-In-Schools Programme and adult learners from Kerry Education & Training Board’s Community Education Creative Writing group.
The book was launched at St Brendan’s College in April last year and was made possible with support from Poetry Ireland and the Arts Office of Kerry County Council.
‘Futures from the Past’ is available for sale at St Brendan’s College for €9.

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.
