Killarney Pickleball Club marked its one-year anniversary last Sunday by hosting a mini-tournament for its members.

The anniversary event was a great success, with the winning team proving dominant on the day. The champions of the mini-tournament were: Michele Turella, Kumar Shreyansh, Stephanie Regosa, and Joe Lynch.
On the competitive national stage, the club also celebrated success recently. Member Michael Lyne secured a bronze medal at the Irish Nationals, held in Lisburn. Lyne took bronze in the Over 60 Mixed Doubles event, which served as a strong finish after narrowly losing the Men's Doubles bronze match the previous day.
In addition to the tournament, the anniversary event was used to officially launch the club’s new playing tops. These were modelled by members: Marco Regosa, Eoin O'Sullivan, Vladimir Sirotiak, Mike Lyne, and Max Regosa.
The club thanked all members for their support over the past year and looks forward to further growth in the sport.

The Killarney Lions Club has launched a brand-new fundraising event.

The first ever Killarney Santa Cycle will take place on Saturday, December 6. The cycle is being organised with the support of Killarney Cycling Club and Christmas in Killarney, and all funds raised will go directly to the Lions’ annual Christmas Food Appeal.
The Food Appeal provides hampers to local families who need extra support over the festive season. Last year, the Lions distributed more than 100 hampers, and the club hopes to match that again this Christmas.
The Santa Cycle is a short, family-friendly spin around Killarney town, and everyone is welcome to take part. Participants are encouraged to dress up, Even a simple Santa hat will do and bring their bike.
Registration is now open at idonate.ie (search 2025 Killarney Santa Cycle), or through the event QR code. Entry costs €15 for adults, €5 for children, or €25 for a family.
The cycle will begin at Killarney Racecourse at 5.15pm, before joining the Christmas in Killarney Parade to lead it through the town.
Killarney Lions Club President Jason Higgins said the new event is a fun way to support an important annual project.
“Our Christmas Food Appeal is vital because we know this time of year can be difficult for some families. We provided over 100 hampers last year and we hope to do the same again,” he said.
“We heard about Santa Cycles being held elsewhere and thought it would be something different for Killarney. I’d encourage everyone to come along — it will be a bit of fun and will help raise much-needed funds.”
