The official opening of the new gym at Kerins O’Rahillys Clubhouse on Saturday.
KERINS O’Rahillys GAA Club has transformed its upstairs function room into a new gym.
The official opening in The Healy Room took place on Saturday evening, performed by the late Pat Healy’s daughters Kay and Roisin in the presence of club president Richard Walsh, club chairman Oliver Molloy, Mayor of Tralee Terry O’Brien, as well as Minister for Education Norma Foley, newly elected councillors Paul Daly, Angie Baily and Anne O’Sullivan, players and club members.
Chairman Oliver Molloy spoke of the inspiration behind the gym, the club’s All Ireland senior club championship journey in 2022. It was from this journey that he saw a need for the club to have its own gym to cater for all members and for all teams.

The funding came from the proceeds of Last Man Standing and the very generous donation of JP & Noreen McManus; the expertise around the design and equipment came from new tenant, Dan Breen of Inception Performance but the realisation of his dream came from the volunteering of club members, Richie Roche, John O’Brien, Rory Molloy, Mark Higgins as well as the likes of juvenile chair, John O’Connor who organised an army of cleaners on Good Friday who put in trojan work to make the dream a reality.
Morgan Nix’s contribution too was recognised providing the expertise of his cleaning company Envirocoat Ltd. Oliver Molloy was also keen to acknowledge the support of the Higgins family and Kingdom Print.
