KERRY LADIES
A successful weekend for both Kerry Ladies teams. The Minors,  featuring Andrea Murphy in the panel, had a 3-16 to 0-10 win over Waterford while the Seniors took a step closer to the National League final easily getting the better of Meath in Ashbourne. Keri-Ann Hanrahan is of course member of the panel.


MAIREAD O DONOGHUE 
Currently living in Australia,  Mairead hasn't let her GAA skills go, lining out with Michael Cusacks. They had a successful weekend recently capturing the Gosburn Tournament. The daughter of Donal and Linda O Donoghue, she was not the sole Kerry representative in the winning side. Danielle O Sullivan and Deirdre O'Shea flew the Kingdom flag proudly at its conclusion.


CHELTENHAM FANTASY COMPETITION 
Our Senior Men's team once again ran a very successful competition based around the famous Racing festival in Cheltenham. Held over the four days , entrants were invited to pick their winners on the big four races each day and the finish was as close as any race . Dan Foran came with a wet sail on the last day to pip Brian O Sullivan by a short head with Colm O'Mahony just grabbing third by a fraction from Bridget McGuire. Well done to Peter McCarthy and David O Sullivan, who looked after all the administrative duties over the four days and helped put a few Bob in the kitty.
