The academy section of Mastergeeha Football Club has teamed up with Navé Yoga to promote wellness for its underage players.

On Saturday last, the club’s U8 squad made the trip to the Navé Yoga studio on the grounds of Killarney Racecourse where they enjoyed a yoga session with instructors Adrian and Elaine O’Donoghue.

After the yoga session the kids went to Navé Coffee House for cookies and hot chocolate followed by a walk on the new Flesk cycle way and walkway where they enjoyed the newly painted wildlife murals.

“Yoga helps promote well-being, encourages good posture, co-ordination, positive attitude and self-confidence with plenty of fun,” said Mastergeeha Football Club’s Ramona Keogh.

“A huge thank you to Adrian and Elaine in Navé Yoga for the morning of fun activities, our players really enjoyed it and know the coaches definitely took great benefit from the yoga session.”

Construction has started on a covered bus stop on Mission Road, following years of campaigning by Cllr Marie Moloney.

“After a number of years of my campaigning and a number of my motions, work has finally started on a covered bus stop on Mission Road,” said Moloney.
Planning permission for the project was approved earlier this year and will provide shelter for passengers using the FlightLink Dublin Airport Coach service.
Moloney had raised concerns on several occasions about the lack of shelter, highlighting the discomfort caused by waiting in bad weather.
Killarney Municipal District Council is carrying out the civil works, including building the bus stop base and installing power supply funding from the NTA National Transport.

Kerry ladies on cusp of another league final

The Kerry ladies can book their place in the 2025 NFL Division 1 final by beating Meath at home in Austin Stack Park today (Saturday). The game throws in at 2pm.

Mark Bourke’s team are currently second in Division 1, three points (one win) behind leaders Armagh and three ahead of the Royals with two rounds of fixtures remaining.

Victory in Tralee would guarantee their qualification for the league decider, setting up a rematch of the 2024 league final against Armagh. The Orchard County prevailed that day in Croke Park, although the Kingdom were able to exact revenge later in the summer when they won the All-Ireland semi-final tie between the sides before also going on to win the final.

A draw against Meath would also more than likely be enough for Kerry considering their vastly superior points difference (+25 versus +3). Defeat would send it to the final day on March 29 with Kerry at home to Dublin and Meath away to Armagh.

There was good news for Kerry corner back Eilís Lynch this week as the Castleisland Desmonds player was named on the AIB Ladies Gaelic Football Club Championship Team of the Year. Desmonds won last season’s County and Munster Championships.

Meanwhile, Brian Looney and Micheál Burns of Dr Crokes were named on the AIB GAA Club Championship Team of the Year, with Burns also being shortlisted for Club Footballer of the Year alongside Con O’Callaghan (Cuala) and Ruairí Canavan (Errigal Ciaran). O’Callaghan was selected as the winner at a ceremony in Dublin last night.
