3. Open Day…

If you have a child going to secondary school over the next couple of years, then a trip to Coláiste Gleann Lí in Clash will be very handy for you.

Parents can find out more about the progressive secondary school which has grown considerably over the past number of years. It starts at 10am until 1pm.

Sunday

4. Championship action…

Kerins O’Rahillys will be bidding to reach their first Kerry SFC final since 2008 when they face favourites and current champions Dr Crokes in Austin Stack Park.

The Blues will need all the support they can get to stop the Killarney side, despite their victory over the black and amber last month.

That game throws in at 3.45pm and it’s part of a fascinating double header with David Clifford’s East Kerry and Paul Geaney’s Dingle going head to head at 2pm. It’s the only place to be on Sunday.

Sport dominates the weekend and many in town will be torn between two venues. Elsewhere there’s architecture and a fun run…
