U7 Hurling
There was a fantastic evening of hurling in Caherslee last Wednesday for the county U7 blitz. Parnells had 2 teams in action who both displayed terrific skill and determination and have improved greatly over the past few months. 16 teams were on show with over 40 Matches played. The future is bright for Kerry hurling!

Tralee Parnells Golf Classic – 6th September
In 2023, the club spent over €40,000 on preparing the pitch at Páirc na Darach to make it suitable for playing hurling and camogie – for ball-stops, nets, landscaping and sanding. This year, the club has had to further invest in the pitch to make the playing surface safe and of sufficient quality to allow our young hurlers and camogie players display their skills on a top quality playing surface in a safe environment. We have started to reap the rewards as both our U15 hurling and camogie teams won their county Feile na nGael titles this year and went on to represent Kerry with pride at the National Feile in Wexford in June, reaching their respective semi-finals. Both those teams had used Pairc na Darach as their training base this year. As we don’t own this pitch, access to grants and other funding is very limited. It is likely that our spend on Pairc na Darach will be close to €20,000 this year. To this end and to offset our spending, we are running our second Golf Classic in Beaufort Golf Club on Friday September 6th. Last year’s inaugural event was a tremendous success and we were thrilled with the support we received. A team of 4 costs €300. Tee and Hole sponsorship opportunities also available.
This is our last fundraiser of the year so we are really looking for businesses to come on board to support the Juvenile side of the club. We are also looking for businesses to sponsor prizes for the event. So we welcome any golfers from the club or friends and family to form a team. Text 0878377969 to book in a team.
