Last season when both Austin Stacks and Glenbeigh/Glencar were plying their trade in division two, the Mid Kerry team were one of the very few sides to lower the Stacks colours, when they beat them at home. Fast forward to 2025 with both promoted and it was a complete reversal with Stacks as they put Glenbeigh/Glencar to the sword, winning on a 3-23 to 0-7 scoreline. 

To fair it was a much changed Glenbeigh side but Stacks had the points in the bag by half-time, leading 2-8 to 0-2 thanks to a sixth minute goal by Gearoid Fitzgerald goal and another from the outstanding Shane O’Callaghan in the 28th. Fitzgerald (2), O’Callaghan (2), Colin Griffin (2) and Paul O’Sullivan and Colm Browne with one point each completed Stacks' first half haul.
