Internationally renowned Killarney musician Liam O’Connor will open RTE’s ‘Up For The Match’ on Saturday night.

The curtain-raiser for the All-Ireland Football Final between Kerry and Galway will be broadcast by RTE on Saturday, the eve of the epic Sam Maguire clash.

O’Connor, who has appeared on Up For The Match several times before, will be opening the show with The Artane Band who are celebrating their 150th anniversary this year.

O’Connor will be accompanied by members of his own musical family, Saoirse, Oisin and Cillian. They will also close the show with a Galway band called Back West

“’Up For The Match’ has the great knack of capturing the pre-game tensions and the general good-humour that shows the positive side of GAA football. It’s an honour to be part of it with members of my own family as well as the legendary Artane Band who have played for every one of our Presidents and adorned countless national occasions over the years,” said O’Connor.

There were celebrations at Raheen National School this week as SNA Gráinne Lenihan presented a cheque for €5,302.23 to Principal Joan Mullane, the proceeds from her recent skydiving fundraiser in aid of the school.

Gráinne organised the ‘Her Health, Her Power’ initiative last July, which culminated in her completing a skydive in August to raise funds for Raheen NS. The money will go towards the development of the school pitch and a new perimeter race track for the entire Raheen community.
Pictured at the presentation were members of the parents’ committee Joan Bowler, Máire O’Leary, and Ann Marie Donovan, along with school staff Norrissa O’Donoghue, Conor Coffey, Linda Farrell, and Mark Egan, joined by the delighted students of Raheen NS.
