The Crown Bar on Castleisland’s Main Street will host a barbecue, live music and budget priced drink – while stocks last –  on this Sunday afternoon to coincide with big match TV coverage.

The in form Kerry senior football team will take on Donegal in the Super 8 game in Croke Park and hopes are high that the men from The Kingdom will advance after last Sunday’s impressive display against Mayo.

Food Before Football

“We have the barbecue on Sunday at 3pm followed at 4pm by the Kerry V Donegal game on both screens in the bar and on a screen in the smoking area.

Live music with Timmy O’Connor after the match at 6pm with great drink offers – while stocks last,” according to an enthusiastic invitation from Jennifer.
