League of Ireland giants Cork City will be back in Killarney on Saturday afternoon, three years after they last paid a visit to the town.

The Turner’s Cross club will come to Celtic Park to take on Kerry District League kingpins Killarney Celtic in a preseason friendly with kick-off at the Derreen venue at 3pm.

Celtic are currently top of the Kerry Premier A and looking strong in their quest of winning yet another league title, while City are preparing for another season in the First Division. Their first competitive game of the 2022 campaign sees them face Midleton in the Munster Senior Cup on January 22, and their league opener is on February 18 against Bray Wanderers. Last year Colin Healy’s side finished sixth.

The match will provide Celtic with a stern test and is sure to draw interest from local soccer fans. Admission is €5 for adults and U16s can attend free of charge.

Killarney teenager Luke Doolan has signed for Kerry FC, making the move from local side Killarney Athletic.

The 17-year-old forward was a standout performer in the Kerry District League last season and caught the eye with five goals in the Munster Youths Cup.
He also featured for Athletic’s senior team and earned a call-up to the Republic of Ireland Under-18 squad, where he impressed in international friendlies.
Doolan will now train with the Kerry FC first team and play with the club’s Under 20 Academy side. His signing is another boost for the club’s commitment to developing local talent.
Speaking after the move, Luke said: “I’m delighted to have this chance with Kerry FC and I’m looking forward to working with the team. I’m grateful to Colin Healy for the opportunity and I’m excited to play in front of the Kerry supporters.”
First-team manager Colin Healy added: “Luke has trained with us for the last number of weeks and has really impressed. He’s shown a great attitude and hunger to learn. He’s a talented young player and this is the next step for him.”
Kerry FC CEO Billy Dennehy said: “Luke’s journey is similar to many young players who previously had no League of Ireland pathway in Kerry. His progress is a credit to Killarney Athletic and his coaches. We look forward to helping him develop further at the club.”
