Four Kerry football greats will be going racing on Saturday as Killarney Racecourse partners with Kerry GAA for an exclusive preview event ahead of Sunday's Munster SFC final.
The panel discussion will serve as the curtain-raiser for a massive sporting weekend in Killarney, teeing up the clash with with old rivals Cork on Sunday.
To mark the occasion, the Killarney racing season officially opens its gates at 11:30 am on Saturday, with an exclusive "Go Racing With Kerry GAA Legends" package, allowing supporters to talk football while enjoying a top-tier National Hunt card.
The panel spans a timeline of Kingdom success. Mikey Sheehy, the jewel of the "Golden Years," is widely regarded as one of the greatest forwards to ever play the game, with eight All-Irelands and seven All-Stars.
Representing the captaincy of the historic 1984 centenary team is Ambrose O’Donovan, a tireless midfielder and now accomplished radio commentator.
Joining them is Darragh Ó Sé, the midfield powerhouse from Kerry’s most famous footballing dynasty, with six All-Ireland medals.
And rounding out the group is Shane Enright, a cornerstone of the Kerry defense for over a decade. As a 2014 All-Ireland winner and All-Star, Shane will provide a fascinating modern perspective.
The atmosphere at Killarney racecourse will be further enhanced by live music throughout the day from Nicole Lonergan and The Gallivanters, ensuring the "craic and banter" flows long after the final race.
Tickets for this exclusive event are priced at €99.00, covering racecourse admission, VIP access to the event, a gourmet BBQ meal, and a complimentary drink.
