Pat Spillane Q&A: "Templenoe must be the only club in Ireland which doesn’t have a national school”

These are exciting times for Pat Spillane’s native Templenoe and the surrounding Kenmare District. But the Kingdom legend fears for the future of rural GAA areas like this corner of Kerry.

Q: This a big weekend for your club, Templenoe?

A: “We’re in the county junior final for the first time in 40 years, and most of the lads are also involved in the Kerry SFC semi-final (with Kenmare District) this weekend, so there’s fair excitement around the place, we’re a long time out of the limelight.”
