Hi folks,

Some very important information below about this weekend:

Kilkenny Masters 2025:
The Annual Kilkenny Masters tournament kicks off this Friday across 3 gyms in Kilkenny (St. Kierans, Loreto & O'Loughlins). Our Kilkenny Ladies and Men's teams open the tournament on Friday night in O'Loughlins. In the past these opening games have been heavily supported by Kilkenny Stars Players/Parents and we hope that you will come and support our Coaches/Parents on the night.  Our very own Puff Summers is due to line out with the Over 40's so get in early and get your seats.

There will be no club training over this weekend to facilitate this competition.

Fundraising Shops:
There will be KK Stars Fundraising Shops at each venue over the weekend run by our National League Team (O'Loughlins) and our Spain 2026 Committee who are raising funds to send our U14 Boys & Girls to Barcelona next year to compete in a tournament.
