We brought the curtain down on our 2017 academy season with a party in the Listry Community Centre on Friday evening. Our young players were out in strength on the evening. We were delighted to welcome some special guests on the night.

Guest of honour on the night was double All Ireland winning minor manager Peter Keane. Peter has trained many juvenile teams in Listry over the years. He along with his wife Siobhain are also very generous sponsor’s of all juvenile activities in our club. We were delighted to make a presentation to Peter on the night in recognition of his service to Listry and of his recent success with the Kerry minors.
