League of Ireland soccer has arrived in the Kingdom, and Kerry FC have no intentions of departing anytime soon

'It’s been in the making for a long time but you need the right people to take the final step,' said Willie Dennehy, father of manager Billy Dennehy. 

VITAL COGS: Steven Conway, Chief Operating Officer; Sean O’Keeffe, KDL chairperson and Kerry FC General Manager; Billy Dennehy, Head Coach; Gerardine Nagle, KDL Vice-Chairperson; Brian Ainscough, Chief Executive Officer.

Willie Dennehy is maximising the grand stretch to apply the final touches to Mounthawk Park before the Friday night glow projects Kerry into the League of Ireland spotlight.

Father of the county’s new senior team manager Billy, he’s giving a dig-out whichever way he can. Be it painting the extra seats green and white, mowing the pitch and generally ridding the venue’s nickname of Pallet Park, he’s making use of the additional daylight.
