Kerry Schoolboys and Girls Soccer League marked the 4th of July by honouring Chicago born Mary Lyne’s contribution to girls' soccer in the Killarney area.

Mary has been living in Killarney since the 1980s. She and her husband Mikey Lyne have been the backbone of Killarney Celtic for many years.

She always made sure that the girls’ teams got the same opportunities as the boys’ squads.

“As well as her long service with Killarney Celtic, Mary has served her time on both the Kerry District League and the Kerry Schoolboys and Girls committees where she held a number of officer positions,” KSBGL PRO Pat Harnett said.

“The girls' committee of the KSBGL presented Mary with a token of appreciation for her important role in the development girls' soccer and her continued work with Killarney Celtic on many levels. We were delighted to help Mary celebrate on her country’s main holiday, the 4th of July.”
