Ciarraí Abú;
Congratulation from Tralee Parnells to the Kerry Hurlers on their fantastic start to their Division 1B campaign.
Parnells at Kerry vs Limerick, Sunday the 21st:
Parnells invite all available club players and supporters to come along and cheer for Kerry together when our county hurlers play Limerick next Sunday the 21st. Due to pitch work in Tralee, we hear that the game is being switched to Killarney. Come along early in Parnells colours and we can congregate together in the stand.
St. Patrick’s Day Parade:
To follow up on the enjoyable day last year, Parnells will take part in our 3rd annual participation in Tralee St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Thursday the 17th of March. Once again we will feature a portable goals to allow children along the parade route to try their skills and test the reflexes of our goalies.
Recently we have had some great feedback on Facebook from family members of the original Parnells shown in the 1919 team photo. So this year we would love to have as many as we can of family members of the original Parnells, to march with us in the St Patrick’s days parade.
