The walkway looked spectacular over the weekend which is a credit to all involved. The support of our community walkway sponsors Gary Landers and Matt Standon of Mid Kerry Veterinary Centre and the sponsors of our social corner Foleys Spar Milltown is also sincerely appreciated. The area in the corner of our club grounds was fantastic on the day providing an opportunity in the open air but under cover to catch up with friends, family and club-mates.

Thank you so much to those who delivered an incredible amount of delicious baked goods, extra treats and anyone who contributed in anyway.

Thank you also to the South Kerry Development Partnership for their support and funding of our walkway and in particular to Noel Spillane and Sean De Butlier for attending on the morning to open our walkway.

There were too many highlights on the day to pick out but one of them was in the small hours Deirdre O’Sullivan captured this amazing picture of Eileen (Mangan) Fitzgerald who walked from 3 to 4am passing over the torch to her parents James and Bridie Mangan and was a wonderful moment. Our club walked continuously together for 24 hours and showed over the weekend what community spirit is all about. Thank you to everyone once again.

We are also thrilled to have surpassed our target of €20,000 and its still going up, we look forward to informing you of our total later in the week when all cards have been collected. There is still time to sponsor and we thank you all sincerely for your continued support and generosity.

This Week in the Coiste na nÓg:

Our U11 sides started the week off hosting fellow Mid Kerry sides Cromane and Beaufort on the same evening at Paddy Burke Memorial Park. Both games were very competitive and our U11 sides continued to show great skill and ability on the night. Our U 11s look forward to a trip to Keel next Monday evening.

On Wednesday evening our U9 boys took four 7 a side teams to face Kerins O’Rahillys at Ballyrickard in Tralee. Our teams played excellent football and fantastic teamwork in each game throughout the evening. Our U9s look forward to travelling again this week to Kilcummin on Sunday.

The week finished off with a bang in the Central Region U13s as with the ground still buzzing with the senior teams victory over Laune Rangers our U13 started to warm up to face Austin Stacks. An absolutely enthralling game of football ensued with our U13 team claiming a great win by a single point at full time. The final score and its Churchill up next Sunday for our U13s.
