A new book entitled 2017 – Stories from the Playing Fields of Kerry & Beyond is a 112 page full-colour round up of all the activities of all the Kerry Football, hurling, camogie and Ladies Football teams during 2017.

“In simple terms, it is a yearbook for the year that was 2017,” said its creator, Donal Barry.

Some Great Pictures

Relive the highs and some lows with some great pictures that bring the meaning of sport home to you.

There is also a full comprehensive round up of all the club championships in football, hurling and ladies football from minor to senior, from junior to intermediate.

Catch the journeys clubs made to the final and find out where your team exited their championships.

Down to the Wire

In a year when so many finals at all levels went down to the wire, catch the action as it happened.

There is a special lengthy feature on both senior football and hurling county championships as we follow the winners to the presentation stands in the hunt for the Bishop Moynihan and Neilus Flynn Cups.

On Sale at Vincent Murphy’s

Compiled, researched and written by Caherciveen native, Donal Barry, editor of The Sliabh Luachra Outlook, the book retails at €15 and is on sale this week in shops across the county. It is available now in Castleisland at Vincent Murphy Sports.

It looks like the makings of an annual and an ideal present for GAA collectors, historians and supporters in general.
