The RTÉ cameras will be in Tralee on the opening night of the league as Kerry get their 2024 season up and running with a Division 1 Round 1 match against Derry.

The Ulster side, now managed by Tyrone icon Mickey Harte, had Kerry on the ropes in last year’s All-Ireland semi-final before Jack O’Connor’s men fought back and finished strongly to advance to the final, which they ultimately lost to Dublin.

A bumper crowd is expected at Austin Stack Park on Saturday, January 27 but those who are unable to attend will be pleased to know that RTÉ will provide live coverage of the game, which begins at 5.30pm.

Kerry’s home game against Mayo in Round 3 (February 17) will also be broadcasted live on RTÉ, with other fixtures expected to be picked up by TG4 and GAAGO.

The week before the Derry game, on Friday, January 19, The Kingdom will take part in the McGrath Cup final, more than likely against Cork - assuming the Rebels can overcome the challenge of Waterford.

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.”
