Kerry GDA Gilles O’Grady was present to guide players and coaches alike with the U7’s. Thanks a million Giles, a very informative session as always.
Focus then switched to our U9’s who played host to Kildimo-Pallaskenry GAA Club. Both panels were broken up into 3 teams each. With each team playing each other, this meant all players were involved with loads of playing time for everybody.

Thanks to Johnny Hannon, Con O’Donnell and Mike Lynch for all the amazing work in organising and coordinating the games.

Sincere thanks once again to Kildimo-Pallaskenry GAA Club for traveling and safe journey home. Best of luck with the rest of your season. Looking forward to meeting ye again in the future

JOE McDONAGH CUP

Antrim 2-21 Kerry 0-29
They’re there. They’ve done it. The dream lives on. For the third straight year the Kerry hurlers will contest the Joe McDonagh Cup Final.
On an afternoon of high-drama, the Kingdom scrambled over the line in Corrigan Park Belfast on Saturday 21st May (in a game that looked well in hand up until injury time at the end of the second half), while Carlow upset the odds in Tullamore to deny Offaly, ensuring the green and gold’s passage to the final on score-difference.
It was the GAA’s version of Super Sunday, albeit on a Saturday, as we kept half an eye on what was happening in both games. There were times when the live-table had Kerry going through, and at others Offaly were on their way to the final. Congratulations to the Kerry Senior Hurlers, especially the Crotta players Sean Weir (wing back) Jordan Conway (came on as a sub and scored 0-02) James Sheehan and Cillian Trant (extended panel members) on their victory and on reaching the Joe McDonagh Cup final against Antrim on Saturday 4th June at 4.30p.m in Croke Park. #wearekerry #ciarraíabú.
