Shifting gears
While one major marathon - the Kerry Petroleum Club Championships - can almost be said to be nearing the stadium finish in Athletics terms, the limbering up for the next big event in the Garvey’s SuperValu County SFC is now getting a bit more serious.

Round 1 on the weekend of September 20th sees West Kerry v St Brendans, Mid Kerry v North Kerry and South Kerry take on St Kierans in the first three matches.
