Training every Friday:
Our summer break is over and we will be back training as usual every Friday night in August, 7pm at Caherslee Road.
Parnells Selected for Community Fund:
Parnells have been selected by Tesco Manor for their local Community fund initiative. From Monday the 3rd of August All blue tokens added to the Parnells drum will add up to make a big difference for our Primary Schools coaching programme in the Tralee town, Ballymac, Churchill, Fenit and Blennerville areas.
Community Outreach:
As part of our ongoing Parnells initiatives to bring hurling to children in the local community, the club participated again this year in the St. Brigid’s Community Centre family fun evening in new Marian Park this week. There was enthusiastic participation by local boys and girls in the skills sessions with mentors including Joe Brennan and Ian Brick. Our club secretary David got the names of a few children who showed great interest and promise and who we hope will come to Caherslee on Fridays where we develop our emerging talent.
Parnells Cúl Camp:
Parnells hurling and camogie Cúl camp takes place the 10th to the 14th of August. To avail of family discounts (for 2nd and 3rd children), all bookings must be made in one transaction. Sign up online at https://www.gaa.ie/youth-zone/kelloggs-gaa-cul-camps/

Club Day in September:
