East Kerry Homecoming Celebrations
After the magnificent victory for East Kerry at the weekend, Spa had the honour of hosting the traditional ‘Captain’s Homecoming’ celebrations at the clubhouse on the Monday night. As the bonfire greeted the team on arrival, a massive crowd filled the hall in Spa to welcome the champions, led by East Kerry team captain and Spa defender Dan O’Donoghue.
On the night we were joined by the East Kerry team and management, officers of the East Kerry Board and supporters from all the six clubs involved – Spa, Glenflesk, Gneeveguilla, Firies, Listry and Fossa – and members of the local community. A big thank you to everyone in the club who helped with the homecoming celebrations, and special mention to Anne Holland for her photos - Photo Album available through this link
