INTERMEDIATE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP
The draw has been made for the Kerry Petroleum Intermediate Championship and we have been placed in an interesting group. The 2024 Intermediate finalists Laune Rangers will be our opening fixture and then we face North Kerry Clubs Listowel Emmets and Ballydonoghue in the subsequent rounds. John Mitchels join East Kerry clubs Fossa, Firies and Kilcummin in Group 1. Group 3 sees Glenflesk, An Ghaeltacht, St Marys and Castleisland Desmonds drawn together while Group 4 pits Mid Kerry rivals Beaufort and Glenbeigh/Glencar together with Gneeveguilla and Kerins O Rahillys completing the picture. These games will of course take place after Kerrys interest in the All Ireland series has ended.

KERRY
Congratulations to Darragh Lyne who made his Senior Inter County debut on Saturday night in Tralee against Dublin. Although the game ended in defeat Darragh acquitted himself well enough to earn another crack or two in the remaining games in the National League
