Remodelled Kerry GAA club a success

THE success of an amalgamated GAA club, near Caherciveen, Co Kerry, was yesterday highlighted as an example of what can be achieved in the battle against rural depopulation.

St Michael’s/Foilmore, formed some years ago by two clubs whose numbers were dropping, won the All-Ireland Intermediate Football Championship.

Former GAA president Sean Kelly said the club’s achievement should give encouragement to many other communities suffering from depopulation.
