2022 has already been a memorable year for sport in Kerry, and not just for the obvious. Sam Maguire will spend the winter in the Kingdom for the first time since 2014. But the rise of other sports in Kerry continues.

For the first time there is a strong possibility that Kerry will have a League of Ireland club operating in the First Division next season. Garvey’s Tralee Warriors are the reigning men’s basketball League and Cup champions. St Paul’s Killarney will have a senior team in the women’s league this season for the first time since 2012.
