Killarney Town Champions: A Historic Night at the Arena!
What a night! The atmosphere at the Gleneagle Arena was electric as we crowned our very first Killarney Town Champions.
A massive congratulations to the Dr. Crokes GAA team—Kayleigh Cronin, Eoin Brosnan, Billy Courtney, and Cian McMahon—who showcased incredible skill and grit to take home the title and the €1,000 top prize!
The talent didn’t stop there! Huge kudos to Amanda Brosnan, who proved she has nerves of steel by becoming our first-ever Killarney Kicking Queen. Amanda’s clinical finishing earned St. Paul’s Basketball Club a well-deserved €1,000 prize.
A Community Success This event was a celebration of Killarney’s vibrant sporting community. As the town’s rugby club, it was a privilege to introduce so many athletes from different backgrounds to our “strange oval ball.” Seeing families and fans of all ages enjoying a night out together was the real highlight for us.
With Gratitude The night reached such high production standards thanks to:
- The Gleneagle Arena Team: For providing a world-class venue and support.
- Kerry College Camera Crew: Your incredible work on the action replays and highlights brought the event to life!
- Our Supporters: To every club member and fan who filled the seats—thank you for your energy and your contributions toward our clubhouse development.
The Future The feedback has been phenomenal, and we are already listening to the “endless list” of creative ideas you’ve sent our way. This wasn’t just a night for Killarney Rugby Club; it was a night for Killarney Town.
We have built an exciting foundation, and we can’t wait to see this event grow in the years to come.
All proceeds from the night go toward our new Clubhouse Development at Aghadoe, bringing us one step closer to our goal.
Special thanks to Brendan Fuller for keeping the energy high all night!
Match Results
U18.5 Girls: KILK 34 – 48 Clonakilty RFC
Our KILK girls (Killarney, Iveragh, Listowel, Killorglin) gave it their absolute all in the Munster League Final at Rockwell College on Sunday. In a high-scoring, thrilling encounter, the girls fell just short against a clinical Clonakilty side. Despite the result, this group should be immensely proud. Reaching a provincial final is a testament to the miles traveled and the incredible work put in on the training pitch all season. The future is exceptionally bright for this squad.
Mens Senior J1: Killorglin RFC 26 – 22 Killarney RFC
It was “Derby Day” at Ballymalis as our Seniors took on neighbors Killorglin in the Munster Junior League. In a physical, end-to-end battle, Killarney secured a narrow but vital 26-22 win. The pack laid the foundation in a tough away environment, and the result keeps our momentum building in Division 3.
U14 Boys: Killarney RFC 10 – 38 St Mary’s/Richmond/Thomond
Our U14s hosted a combined Limerick powerhouse at Aghadoe on Sunday morning. Despite some fantastic individual tries and a resilient defensive effort, the visitors’ clinical edge proved the difference. The boys showed great heart until the final whistle and will look to bounce back in their next Shield fixture.
Minis Rugby
Our U8s, U10s, and U12s had a fantastic day out in North Kerry on Saturday for the Listowel Blitz. Great skills were on display across all age groups. A reminder that because of the travel, there was no Fawns training this past weekend, but we look forward to seeing everyone back at Aghadoe next Saturday!
