Strong links between the two clubs have been established over the years as a result of many players from Beaufort being members of St Kiernan’s during their time living in London. The Chairman and founding member of the London club is Jerome O’Shea, a former Beaufort player who is a regular visitor to the area. The visiting team received a warm welcome on arrival in Beaufort and following a formal reception, team members were taken to Tralee to watch the Cork versus Kerry Under 20 game. On Saturday, after a training session in Beaufort, a tournament took place between Beaufort, Kilcummin and the London team which was thoroughly enjoyed by all who took part. On Sunday morning the visiting team bade farewell to their hosts and brought back to London memories of a most enjoyable weekend in Beaufort. On behalf of the players and parents of the visiting team, St Kiernan’s GAA Club would like to thank Beaufort GAA Club for the wonderful hospitality they received during their weekend visit. A special word of thanks to the families who hosted the team and to Frank Coffey, the Chairman for his help with the organisation of the weekend.
