Killarney Camogie Club were delighted to welcome 28 new and returning Under 8s and Under 10s to Spa GAA Hall on Bank Holiday Monday for their first indoor session of 2024.

It was a fun gathering for the kids with lots of games, running, learning new skills and making friends.

Coaches Sarah Dineen, Kate Lynch, David Gillespie, Martin Mulready, Patrick Palmer and Seán Casey were on hand to put the youngster through their paces, with assistance from Kerry underage stars Orla Cronin, Caoimhe Dineen, Tiarna Dineen and Megan Gillespie.

The club is grateful to Spa GAA for the use of their fantastic facility and to all the local schools and volunteers who distributed leaflets last week.

Training resumes next Monday evening from 6-7pm. Hurleys & helmets can be provided. Only need to wear runners and bring a bottle of water. Tryout sessions are free.

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.”
