THE centenary celebrations for Austin Stacks GAA club are coming to an end, but not without showing what an eventful year it has been for the Rock club.

An exhibition was opened at Tralee Library by Chairman of Austin Stack Liam Lynch on Tuesday night, with images from socials, medal presentations, tournaments and much more which formed part of marking the milestone year.

“It’s taken months to put together,” said the woman behind the exhibition, Mairead Fernane. “We had to collect the photographs and they came from many different sources. Adrienne McLoughlin provided the bulk of them but there were events she wasn’t at so I had to get them off people who were there. I think it’s a good exhibition that gives a fair reflection of what we did during 2017. I hope everybody else will be as pleased with it as I am.”

“What I wanted is that when you walk in the room here is that you’re hit with a wall of black and amber and I think that has happened. It’s been worth every minute of the work,” said Mairead.

The exhibition will run until Saturday, March 3, and is a must-see for the black and amber family. Scroll down for photos…
