Thousands gathered across Kerry to welcome the victorious Kerry Ladies home to the Kingdom on Monday evening, with a large crowd packed into the Glebe Car Park for the official home coming in Killarney.

Speaking on stage joint manager Darragh Long was blown away by the crowd gathered in Killarney. “This is amazing. I don’t think we expected this, we are very humbled. These girls are fantastic role models, everything we have done over the last couple of years is down to them, myself and Dec just pointed the ship in one direction and these girls put the wind in its sails."
