Killarney RFC’s senior men secured promotion to Munster Junior League Division 2 following a decisive home win over Rugbaí Chorca Dhuibhne in Aghadoe on Sunday.

The 1st XV produced a dominant performance to record a 57–19 victory, a result that confirms promotion with two league games still to play. It caps off one of the most successful seasons in the club’s history, with Killarney picking up bonus points in every league win to date.
Killarney crossed for nine tries in total, underlining their attacking strength. Diarmuid Carr led the way with two tries, while Padraic Talbot, John McCarthy, Liam Randles, Alex O’Leary, Stephen Walsh, Harry Kelly and Paul Moynihan also touched down. Ciarán O’Brien converted twice, with Harry Kelly adding four conversions.
The home side controlled the game from the early stages, using strong forward play to set a solid platform before releasing their backs. Despite resistance from the visitors, Killarney maintained their intensity throughout and pulled clear in the second half.
The promotion reflects the consistency shown by the squad since the start of the season and is a reward for months of hard work from players and management alike. With two fixtures remaining, Killarney will now look to finish the campaign strongly as they prepare for life in Division 2 next season.

O’Donoghues of Barraduff, the local Inver representative, has presented a cheque for €1,000 to this year’s Leading Lights recipients, Raheen National School.

The presentation is part of Inver’s annual community initiative which focuses on providing on-the-ground support to organisations within the local areas served by their service station network.

The ‘Leading Lights’ programme is designed to support local groups that share common goals in the areas of education, technology, children, and family.

By channelling funds directly into the community, the initiative aims to recognise the dedication of local organisations that give their time and commitment to improving their surroundings.
