The Kerry Petroleum Club Championship draws will take place this Sunday evening once the final group stage action is over at Senior, Intermediate and Premier Junior level this weekend. There are still plenty of knockout places to play for in the various competitions. It promises to be another interesting weekend of action on the field and Tuesday night’s Kerry County Board meeting could also be interesting off the field.
The first Kerry GAA County Board meeting after Kerry’s All-Ireland Senior Football Final defeat to Mayo takes place on Tuesday night next, August 25th.
There has been no official confirmation from the Kerry GAA Executive that Cian O’Neill has left his role as Kerry coach or that Jason McGahan will not continue his voluntary S&C role with the senior squad. It is going to be interesting to see what the Kerry GAA chairman has to say publicly on the matter and whether or not he will be in a position to reveal any further changes to Jack O’Connor’s backroom team.

Honours on and off the water for Kerry clubs
All roads led to Bantry for the All-Ireland Coastal Rowing Championships which took place over Friday, Saturday and Sunday last and with the largest ever entry, 738 crews, it was their first time ever as hosts and what a venue it proved to be.
The Kerry Coastal Rowing clubs travelled in strength and everyone will agree every medal won was hugely fought for and well earned as the standard was through the roof.
Kerry’s clubs battled well and won a huge amount of silverware and to mention just a few including the Caherdaniel U18 Ladies who won gold in the Heritage U18 Race on Friday. Then Sneem Senior Men’s winning the coveted Senior Heritage and Sprint Double in the heritage, Cahersiveen won bronze in the U14 Girls Heritage and Dingle won silver in the Senior Heritage Final. The U12s of Valentia won gold, silver and bronze in the Heritage Boat as Sive won the U16 Girls in the Heritage. Gurrane won the silver in the U21 Ladies. Sive’s U14 and U16 crews won gold in both their races and considering a lot of these finals were 12 boat finals that was a tremendous achievement.
