Kerins O’ Rahilly’s Club President Micheál Kerins who passed away last week pictured here with three of his granddaughters , two of his sons Rory and Haulie and daughter Tara.
Condolences Micheál Kerins Club President.
Kerins O’Rahillys GAA Club is mourning its Club President, Micheál Kerins, who passed away last week.
Micheál represented his club with distinction on and off the field, enjoying a stellar playing career with Kerins O’Rahillys winning three senior county championships during the 1950s. He also played minor, junior and senior football for Kerry.
In a fitting tribute, a huge gathering of club members, current and former players, friends and colleagues formed a guard of honour outside our club grounds in Strand Street on Friday morning to bid a fond farewell to one of our greatest ever club men.
Predeceased by his wife Finola in 2016, he is survived by his daughter Tara, sons Seán, Haulie (who is current Kerins O’Rahillys GAA Chairman) and Rory, grandchildren Maurice, Micheál, Emmet, Michael, Kate, Eugenie, Odhrán and Roisín, son-in-law John, daughters-in-law Michelle, Anne and Gena, sisters Margaret (Duffy) and Phil (Curran), brothers-in-law Con Curran, Adrian (Pat), Des and John O’Mahony, sisters-in-law Anne and Angela, nephews, nieces, relatives, neighbours and many friends.
May he rest in Peace.

Thank you also to our fantastic team of coaches and committee members who give up their time to ensure our academy runs so smoothly.
We hope to run the academy for another few weeks , all depending on what restrictions will be put in place .
Please keep an eye on our Facebook page and if you have any questions please contact Adrian (085) 1500199.
U6 GIRLS AND BOYS
A warm welcome to Ailbhe and Orla Falvey who joined us on Sunday. Their club history goes away back to the 50s when their Grandad won championship medals while playing for Strand Road.
In fairly windy conditions and hoping that the rain held off the youngest members of our Juvenile Academy had yet another enjoyable and fun training session in Healy Park, Ballyrickard. You’re a super bunch!
It’s a great opportunity also for each child to make friends and get used to playing a team sport with other children. They also learn the basic motor skills of Gaelic games and participate in small sided matches.
U8 AND U10 GIRLS
It might have been a cold Sunday morning for some but not for our U8 and U10 Girls who turned up in huge numbers and stayed warm on the fields of Ballyrickard practicing their skills and drills followed by a game to put all the practice into action.
U8 BOYS
We travelled to neighbouring club St. Pats, Blennerville for fun, skill packed games. Thank you to all in St. Pats for hosting us and for the fantastic morning of football.
U10 BOYS
We welcomed St. Pats to Ballyrickard on Sunday morning and there was a feast of football despite the swirling winds, both sets of players showed great skills and determination in a fun and competitive hour. 22 of our boys braved the conditions and we were all the better for it seeing the great development and improvements that were on show.
NÓTAÍ NA mBAN
As a mark of respect to our wonderful Club President Micheál Kerins who passed away last Tuesday and his family, training was cancelled and games postponed during the week.
Micheál would always have a warm welcome for everyone and compliment the work of the ladies club.
