THE SCENE is set for members of the Kerry Garda Síochána and Na Gaeil GAA ladies to take part in the upcoming community fundraiser, the ‘Carmel O’Connor Memorial Shield’.
It is an event dedicated to the memory of their late Listowel-based former colleague who died over nine years ago after a battle with illness.
Gardaí from all over the Tralee, Listowel and Killarney areas will take on the mighty Mná Na Gaeil team in the Na Gaeil Club grounds this coming Saturday, October 10.

With throw in set for 2.30pm, the public are being strongly encouraged to come down and show their support for the fun day out with all donations/funds on the day going toward the Tralee branch of the Irish Red Cross.
The Gardaí will certainly be hoping for a repeat of last year’s score when they emerged victorious from the hard fought battle by three points, but it mightn’t prove that easy this year again though with the women’s team no doubt keen on exacting their revenge.
