Croker calling
Kerry return to Croke Park this weekend where they will meet Tyrone for the third time in four years at Headquarters. Since Jack O’Connor’s return to the fold with Kerry, he has masterminded Croke Park victories over the Red Hands in 2023 and 2025 and he will be hoping to complete a hat-trick of championship victories over the Ulster men on Saturday evening.
After an injury hit start to the summer, Kerry are nearly back to full strength as they approach the business end of the championship season. Jack O’Connor revealed that Tom O’Sullivan was back in training last Saturday morning and hopefully the Club Footballer of the Year can play a part in Kerry’s bid for ‘Sam’.
After a scintillating performance against Armagh in Killarney on Saturday, Kerry are odds-on favourites to retain their All-Ireland title with Galway at 5 /1 second favourites and Dublin at 10/ 1 third favourites with the bookies.

They were challenged heading out to the first buoy but took over and never relented their lead followed home by Gurrane and Over the Water. Up next was the U18 Boys and this was a a classic race with four boats fighting it out to the turning buoys. It was Sneem who rounded first and a huge battle was unfolding between Valentia, Sive and Gurrane. Gurrane would finish second with Sive third. The third race was hotly contested also in the U14 Mix with Valentia coming out on top, Sneem second and Valentia third.
