WE took a walk around the town centre on Thursday to see the efforts made by local businesses to support the Kerry teams for Sunday.
Here’s some photos of the best shopfronts we came across. If your business isn’t here feel free to email your photo into us at dcrean@traleetoday.ie.
Scroll down for photos…

This great display in Kelliher’s Hardware was put together by Geraldine Riordan from the store.
“I’d say it’ll be close but hopefully Kerry by a point or two,” said Pat Cleary who works in Kelliher’s. “I normally watch it at home with my wife who’s from Dublin, but seeing as Dublin aren’t playing I’ll head to the pub to watch it,” laughed Pat.

The display at Hennessy’s Bar proclaims Kerry’s proud tradition of All-Ireland wins.
“We the display every time we’re in the All-Ireland,” said Tony Hennessy from the bar. “I’ll be heading to the game myself, I think it’s a shoe-in for Kerry, we’ve too much firepower.”
You can’t miss the colours on the front of Euro Focus. Then again, they are selling the merchandise inside.
You can count on Charlie Nelligan’s in The Mall to support the lads. In photo are Noreen Barrett, Luka Fusco, Kathleen O’Sullivan, Beverly Flaherty and Colette and Charlie Nelligan. Photo by Dermot Crean
Maguire’s Butchers sent this one in. Confidence is high in Caherslee apparently.

An Teach Beag is well togged out for Sunday. “I was going to go to the game but I couldn’t get a ticket,” said Jackie O’Mahony who works there. “They’re like gold dust. I’ll watch it in the pub I suppose. I’d say it’ll be a great game but Kerry will win,” she said.
Horan’s Health Store on Russell Street made a huge effort to show the colours. “I can’t get to the game,” said Kay Hurley who works there, before exclaiming, “but I am going to Ladies Day tomorrow!”

Cleary’s Photography has some happy green and gold (and purple) snaps to add colour to the display.
Kirby’s Brogue Inn is….well look for yourself!
