Annual Street Collection

Memorable Homecoming
In spite of losing to a great Meath team in this year’s All-Ireland final in early August, Kerry ladies football made great strides in the course of the year and it’s well they know that they went so close to the ultimate prize.
Also, they were left in no doubt that their gallant efforts were greatly appreciated by the support and turnout on the streets of the towns of the county for their homecoming.
The people of Castleisland and its neighbouring parishes turned out in force and waited in the rain to show their appreciation for the girls and young women who grew up in the community and into the great athletes worthy of representing their county at the highest levels.
Good luck to them all tonight.
