CLUB MEMBERS WALK MANGERTON MOUNTAIN
Our late former chairman and cherished friend John O'Sullivan, Ballycasheen Upper and late of Crossmount, Kilgarvan, was fondly remembered by Spa members who walked over Mangerton on December 27th last.
The group headed for the sanctuary of Kilgarvan, following the steps and route that had been safely navigated by John in his role as guide, Johnny Randles and the late Con O'Shea and others, since its inception as a Christmas time club event back in the early 1980's.
Now very much an annual tradition in Spa, it was fitting to honour John's memory trekking through his old terrain in recent days.
McGRATH CUP
Best of luck to the Kerry seniors as they begin their 2022 campaign with the McGrath Cup. Their first game is against Limerick on Wednesday January 5th at 7pm in Austin Stack Park and Round 2 is the following Wednesday January 12th against Tipperary (away, 7pm).
The Kerry hurlers also start their 2022 campaign with the Co-Op Superstores Cup this Saturday January 8th against Tipperary (2pm).
Both the football and hurling matches will be streamed live through ClubberTV.
