Kerry Wrestler - Francis Mercer

These WWE-style gladiators will throw down at the Killarney Sports and Leisure Centre on Saturday, August 24 at 7:00 pm.

An evening of WWE style action will include the body slamming Heavyweights and the top rope flying Cruiserweight dare-devils.

High risk in ring moves will be on display throughout the schedule of match ups with the Grand Slam Wrestling gladiators delivering back breakers, suplexs and dropkicks galore!

Appearing on the night will be the Grand Slam Heavyweight Wrestling Champion - the American Bruiser – Brody Steele. The muscle packed, chain yielding roughhouse provides an intimidating battle for any challenger. The Bruiser recently stated he has only one vision for his debut in Killarney on August 24 and that is to steamroll any wrestler who gets in his way!
The Grand Slam Wrestling Show has a family friendly theme with action, drama and comedy for young and old to enjoy. After a jam packed card of exciting matches, fans in attendance who have opted to pick up a Backstage Pass at the merchandise stand will have the opportunity to meet all the wrestlers and collect autographs/pictures.

Tickets for this American Wrestling event are €12 and can be purchased now on EVENTBRITE.IE with a limited number of tickets available on the night.

Kerry man Francis Mercer is set to live the dream as he steps into the ring at the Grand Slam Wrestling event.

The aspiring superstar has been honing his craft for years, and his dedication is about to pay off in spectacular fashion. Inspired by wrestling icons like The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mercer embarked on a rigorous training regime to master the physicality and showmanship required for the sport.
Having performed on shows the length and breadth of the island of Ireland, in addition to recently completing tours of the UK, Mercer is motivated now more than ever to put on the performance of a lifetime in front of his home county Kerry supporters.

The first competition of the new year proved a strong start for Killarney Camera Club, with January’s theme of “Sunset” attracting a wide range of high-quality entries.

Top honours went to Julie Deady, a former Photographer of the Year winner with the club, for her image titled Church of St Primoz and Felicijan. The photograph was taken in Slovenia and captured a striking sunset, with deep reds and strong orange tones stretching across the sky. The setting sun silhouetted a bank of clouds, while warm evening light spilled across the surrounding landscape.
The nearby church, trees and open fields were softly lit, adding depth and balance to the scene. The image impressed judge John Hootan, a distinguished photographer, who praised its exposure, composition and timing. He awarded the photograph full marks, describing it as a benchmark for the competitions ahead.
Members said the standard of entries made the judging particularly competitive and set a positive tone for the year. With such a strong opening round, anticipation is already building for the next monthly themes as members continue to develop their skills and creativity.
The club thanked all members who took part, noting that the growing level of participation and friendly rivalry continues to raise standards across the competitions.
