OVER 600 people showed up at Christy Leahy Park on Saturday as the St Brendan’s Park FC held their annual open day for academy players and schoolboy teams.

All underage academy members received a medal, numbering about 150 in total, for each team a player of the year award was given out also a golden boot award.  Teams were presented with medals and trophies they had won during the season.

On the day the Park also hosted the ‘McDonalds Funday’ which is a competition involving underage teams from all over Kerry run in conjunction with FAI and held at a different venue in the county each year. Winners of the event go on to play in the regional finals in either Limerick or Cork.

The clubs that participated along with Park FC were Killarney Celtic, Killarney Athletic and Listowel Celtic. Six hundred people attended the event throughout the day where there was a barbecue and face-painting for the younger visitors.
