Costs mounting as Kenmare clock up the miles in All-Ireland odyssey

Kenmare Shamrocks finally put Castleknock out of the All-Ireland Junior club semi-final at the third time of asking to book a spot in the decider fixed for GAA HQ on Sunday.

Great news for the club, but a different challenge for hard-pressed club officers. After trips to Cashel, Mitchelstown and Dublin, Kenmare are under huge financial pressure.

“We wouldn’t have been that flush at the start of the process,” admitted Kenmare club PRO James McGann.
