Kerry Minor and Legion senior player Andrea Murphy also came and spoke to the girls about her own successes with the club and county. She gave them great advice and tips. Andrea is going to come and have a skills session with the girls. They are two excellent role models for the girls within the club.
Later in the week the girls headed to Currans amongst eleven other clubs from the county to the Kerry GAA Centre of Excellence . They took part in a blitz , part of a day of celebration, marking 50years of Ladies Gaelic football. Two teams took part and it goes to show that ladies football is going from strength to strength.
