It’s been a fantastic year for the club with the senior men’s team, gaining senior status in the county, for the first time, having won both the county and the Munster Intermediate Championships.

All Star nominee Jack Barry, Diarmuid O’Connor and Stefan Okunbor brought Na Gaeil their very first senior All Ireland medals playing with Kerry in July.

Meanwhile, Na Gaeil Ladies’ Mary O’Connell made history for our club by playing for Kerry in the LGFA All Ireland senior final.
