The annual Killarney Ploughing Match, scheduled for Sunday, November 9th, has been postponed to a later date due to adverse weather conditions.

The event was due to take place at Coffey’s Farm in Fossa.

The match is the final event of the Kerry ploughing season and was set to be a special occasion this year.

The Killarney Ploughing Club had confirmed that three members of the same family were due to compete for the first time.

Tony Wharton, Chairman of the Killarney Ploughing Club, was entered in the senior class. His son, Ryan Wharton, was planning to compete under the Macra na Feirme banner, with Tony’s brother, Thomas Wharton, acting as their mentor.

Mr. Wharton had previously expressed hope that Ryan would qualify for the All-Ireland Ploughing Finals in Tullamore next year, which would make him the first Killarney club member to reach the national final.

Killarney singer-songwriter Lillie Foley launches her debut EP, ‘In Between’, on all major streaming platforms today, Friday May 15.

The 23-year-old artist first began releasing music in 2025 with the singles ‘Someday’ and ‘That’s Life’.

Her new project features five original tracks that mark a personal chapter in her songwriting, focusing on the experiences and uncertainties of life in your twenties.

“This project is really about feeling stuck between stages of life,” Lillie said. “At this age, there’s so much pressure to know exactly what you’re doing, and these songs came from not always having those answers.”

Through her lyrics and storytelling, the EP captures the process of navigating adulthood and personal growth. ‘In Between’ is available to stream now on Spotify, Apple Music, and other major digital platforms.
