Sunday
5. Take the mammy out…
It’s Mother’s day so I hope you all have the Sunday lunches booked. The Meadowlands Hotel has a Three Course Lunch for €25.00 per person with complimentary chocolates for every mother (pre-booking required).
The Grand Hotel’s award winning chef, Gorka Arrieta has created a delicious four course Mother’s Day Lunch Menu at €30.00 per person with each mum receiving a complimentary glass of bailey’s.
Kirby’s Brogue Inn always serves a super Sunday lunch and mothers can always expect something special on the menu.
Meanwhile, if you are getting out of bed after attending the Strand Road Strictly event, then Charlies Bar at Kerins O’Rahillys Clubhouse will be the place to be for Sunday lunch. There’s sure to be a great atmosphere, especially since the seniors are playing their county league game at 3pm outside and Tom and Eileen have specials on the menu for the day that’s in it.

6. Showdown at Austin Stack Park…
The Kerry senior hurlers will play Offaly in their remaining Allianz Hurling League fixture at 3pm. A victory will guarantee Division 1B hurling again next year, so they’ll need all the support they can get.
Admission on the day costs €15 but it is available at a reduced price of €12 if purchased online on www.gaa.ie , from the Kerry GAA offices in Austin Stack Park, from the Kerry GAA Store in the Outlook Centre in Killarney or at participating Centra or Supervalu stores around the county up to midnight on Saturday. Under 16’s are free.
7. Derby Day…
If full-blooded football matches sound more appetising, then a trip to the John Mitchels GAA grounds at Ballyseedy will sate you.
Austin Stacks travel there for the first Division 1 County League Tralee derby of the season. It’s bound to be an intriguing contest with a 2pm throw-in.
