THOUGHTS and prayers this morning are with the staff of Barack Obama Plaza. The Junction 23 goldmine (at least when Kerry have a good GAA year!) was jam-packed with green and gold-clad fans in the morning and evening of a day to forget for the Kerry ladies team. Never before […]

SO it wasn’t to be. A rainy day in Dublin provided the setting for Kerry’s defeat at the hands of our great rivals and there was disappointment on the faces of the many, many thousands of Kerry fans who made the trip to the capital. It was very different some […]

IT’S rare that Kerry fans outnumber opposition supporters by about three to one in a neutral venue, but that was the case on Saturday as thousands made the trip to Thurles to support the ladies side against Mayo. While some were stopping off on the way to Dublin for the […]

WIN, lose or draw, Kerry GAA will host an event in a famous Dublin venue on Sunday night after the All-Ireland final. Billed as the ‘Kerry GAA End of Season Supporters’ Gathering’, it will take place at Café en Seine, Dawson Street. The venue was a symbol of Celtic Tiger […]

A TRALEE musician has created a new song for charity to celebrate Kerry qualifying for the All-Ireland Final. Gearóid Meehan (18) from Ballinorig has released ’38 And Counting’ with a gofundme page created with all donations going to the Kerry Hospice Foundation. The catchy song and accompanying video is sure […]

IT was a sweet victory up in Croke Park yesterday and there was no shortage of Kerry fans in the capital for the occasion. A great performance from Kerry saw them through by double scores against Tyrone and the die-hard fans who filled two buses organised by the Kerry Supporters […]

WE’LL be back…and soon! If one thing was clear from Kerry’s season it’s that we can look forward to more All-Ireland finals over the next few years. This young team will only improve and the experience of two All-Ireland final days will stand to them next year. That was the […]

SO it was not to be. This Monday morning was all the more bleak when waking up again to the realisation that Kerry are not All-Ireland champions. The mood was altogether different on Saturday afternoon in Dublin where thousands of Kerry fans thronged the main streets of the capital. Cautious […]

THE atmosphere was absolutely fantastic in the capital yesterday with hordes of Kerry fans enjoying the day. Every pub was overflowing with tickets swapped, hopes and fears for the afternoon aired and a few pints drank of course. Here’s our second batch of photos of fans on the day. Well […]

DEEP breaths now. We’re still recovering from the excitement of yesterday’s game in Croke Park and we’re sure anyone who was there is feeling the same. What a fantastic occasion it was and hopefully the result on Saturday will favour the green and gold. They’ll need the same kind of […]

ANY spare tickets? We’re all searching for them now as Kerry prepares for the All-Ireland final in three weeks. It’s the first final appearance since we lost to the Dubs in 2015, so the stakes are high with the Kingdom aiming to stop the five in a row. Kerry fans […]

THERE’S no better setting for a big Kerry game than Killarney…especially when the sun shines! The atmosphere in the town was something else with the massive Mayo support playing their part, adding splashes of red to the green and gold. There were 31,312 people in Fitzgerald Stadium for the sellout […]

IN fairness to the Kerry supporters, they turned up in their droves to cheer on the team against Kildare in Killarney on Saturday evening. The official attendance was just shy of 18,000, but around 17,000 of those were surely from Kerry. Killarney was buzzing as it always is on a […]

DAYS before Kerry took on Mayo in the All-Ireland semi-final replay, Jill Harrington and John Ryle from Tralee asked the people of the town to give their support to the lads in a video they made. Well as a follow-up, Jill and John took to the streets and Austin Stack […]

Kerry fans were up in force judging by the #Fanwall yesterday at Croke Park. This is a opportunity for fans to put their photos on Twitter and Instagram and then their images were projected on the big screens in the stadium. As you can see below, a lot of Kerry […]

‘JOB done’, seems to be the general consensus about Kerry’s performance yesterday at Croke Park, but it was acknowledged there’s still a lot of work to do. It seemed like half of Connacht was at headquarters, but there was still a good few of the Kerry faithful cheering on the […]

THEY went to Dublin in their tens of thousands to support Kerry teams yesterday and they sure made themselves heard. From before midday there were hundreds of Kerry fans milling around the Croke Park Hotel and James Gill Pub, eagerly anticipating the encounters ahead and having a pint to calm the […]

WELL at least the minors won. It’s a consolation and hope for the future, after the heartache of losing to the Dubs yet again. But the Kerry fans certainly made their presence felt in the capital on Sunday. There must have been over 20,000 Kerry supporters in Croke Park and […]

WELL that was unexpected. Not the result of the senior game, we’re talking about the fine weather which no doubt provided a huge boost to the attendance yesterday in Killarney. Cloud and showers were predicted, but Killarney was bathed in sunshine and they’ll be a few red heads around today among […]

THE result was awful but wasn’t it great to be in Croke Park on a fine Sunday afternoon with over 80,000 people as early as April? We’re used to travelling to headquarters on the first weekend in August so it was nice to have an early trip to the capital for […]

OK, it wasn’t a great day in Croke Park yesterday but Kerry people  travelled in their thousands to the game and made themselves heard. We were there to capture the atmosphere under the Hogan Stand on a day best forgotten for the men in green and gold. They came from all over […]

WELL that’s one way to escape the rain! Kerry fans who made the trip to Croke Park were rewarded for their loyalty with a terrific display of football from the Kingdom and some glorious sunshine too. While there was persistent rain in Kerry all day, it was dry for players and […]

THIS year’s Allianz National Football League has thrown up four away fixtures for the Kingdom. That means the travelling Kerry support will clock up some serious mileage. 2,576km to be exact and 30 hours on the road in total. Continued below… It’s a good job petrol and diesel prices are […]

YESTERDAY we brought you images of Kerry fans from all over the county up in Dublin for the matches on Sunday. They really turned out in force and we captured them on camera outside The Palace Bar, The Gresham Hotel, Barry’s and the Belvedere Hotel and up in Croke Park […]

FANS welcomed back the two Kerry teams to Tralee last night with mixed emotions on stage as the minors revelled in their success and the seniors reflected on what might have been. The teams were paraded down Denny Street in an open top bus, eventually taking the stage outside the Ashe Memorial Hall […]

WELL, we might have lost the senior match but this certainly didn’t stop the Kerry fans posting some fantastic photos on social media on Sunday to show their support for both teams. Here’s a look at what you GAA fans were posting…   The green and gold was flying proudly on Sunday at […]

SO the result didn’t go our way in the senior game on Sunday, but the fans turned out in their tens of thousands to support Kerry in the capital. We caught up with many of them before the game. Scroll down for photos (we’ll have many more later)…

SO how are you this morning? I’ve woken up with a constrictor knot in my stomach that won’t unravel until around 5pm this afternoon. Whether it’s replaced by joy and relief, or despair, is irrelevant. It matters that ‘the knot’ is there. I am, after all, from Kerry. Don’t worry, this article isn’t going […]

  HOMES and businesses have been making a huge effort to show their support for the Kerry team by decking their properties in green and gold. Some readers have sent in a few photos of their homes in the Kerry colours, while we took  more images of businesses displaying their support. […]

A QUICK drive around the outskirts of town and in a few estates showed Tralee folk are making the effort to show their support for the Kerry teams. We noticed while going through the Mitchels Road, that there were plenty of flags and bunting on view, so we decided to go left […]
