Bruddy Burrows Memorial Tournament The Bruddy Burrows Memorial U12 Tournament took place last Saturday at Moyderwell and was as usual a fantastic event with
great basketball action played throughout the day in both Moyderwell and Pres Gym Tralee. In the end there could only be one winner and St. Brendan’s U12s coached by Nathan Roche claimed victory by 33-25 in a cracking Cup final against St. Mary's Castleisland. The hosts dominated the decider to win out in an exciting decider with Ryan Sheehy from St. Brendan’s voted MVP. St. Brendan’s captain Gearoid White accepted the Bruddy Burrows Memorial Cup from Seanie Burrows. In the Shield Final Tralee Imperials overcame St. Anne's to win out in the end. It was a Kerry clean sweep with Gneeveguilla claiming the Plate title with a win over Moycullen. Thanks to everybody who contributed to the running of the tournament that Bruddy himself would have been proud to see and the big crowd that turned up to witness a great display of underage basketball in Tralee. Thanks to all the teams for competing including Dublin Lions, Moycullen, Sligo All Stars, St. Joseph's, St. Mary's, St. Anne's, Gneeveguilla, Tralee Imperials and TK Bobcats.(Alan Cantwell )

Exhibition launch of "Boundaries Real and Imagined" in Siamsa tonight! This Friday 13th December at 6pm, Siamsa Tíre launches its 2019 winter Open
Submission Exhibition. In September, Siamsa Tíre invited artists in the southwest of Ireland to submit works with the theme of 'Boundaries Real and Imagined' for an exhibition curated by Sharon Murphy. It has been our largest submission to date with 54 pieces being chosen by the curator for inclusion in the exhibition. At the launch in the Siamsa Tíre Galleries, special awards will be announced on the night. All artworks will be unframed and are available for purchase with collection on Feb 6th when the exhibition closes.Catriona Fallon, Siamsa Tíre Visual Arts Curator comments, "We have had a wonderful response from artists in the south west to this year's brief on large pieces of art paper instead of canvas. Entrants ranged from 18 up to 70 years and from new artists to semi-professionals. All of the submissions interpreted the theme in very different ways using a variety of materials, creating a very interesting exhibition for our gallery visitors." Siamsa Tíre Galleries are open daily and admission is free. 4

Manor West’s Christmas Food & Craft Fair this Weekend
Preparations are underway at Manor West Shopping Centre and Retail Park ahead of their weekend-long Christmas Food and Craft Fair, which will take place on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th of December 2019. The annual preChristmas weekend sees the shopping centre play host to a variety of local food producers and craftspeople, giving them an opportunity to showcase their produce and creations from 11am - 5pm each day.
Manor West has hosted a number of Food & Craft Fairs this year, welcoming a diverse range of local entrepreneurs and kindly allowing them to exhibit at the fair free of charge. The Christmas Food and Craft Fair Weekend has become a special festive tradition for the people of Tralee, where they can sample the very best of local artisan produce and find unique handmade gifts in the run up to Christmas. Ahead of the exciting weekend, Derek Rusk, Shopping Centre Manager commented, “We look forward to the Christmas Food and Craft Fair Weekend every year here in Manor West Shopping
Centre. The Fair, which takes place on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th of December this year, is the perfect opportunity for us to show off all the wonderful Food Producers and Craftspeople that Kerry has to offer. Out of all the fairs we host here throughout the year, the Christmas Food and Craft Fair Weekend is a particularly special one for us, as it really helps everyone feel that festive spirit. It promises to be a fun-filled weekend for all the family and a magical Christmas shopping experience.” Manor West Shopping Centre will also host a very special visitor over the weekend as Santa will be attending the Fair, bringing with them lots of entertainment including face painting and balloon modelling. Radio Kerry and Francis Jones will broadcast live from 11am - 1.00pm on December 14th and there will be the chance to win some fantastic spot prizes on the day. In anticipation of the event Eve McKay from Eve’s Leaves, who will be exhibiting at the Christmas Weekend Fair, commented, “The Manor

West Christmas Food & Craft Fair Weekend is such a nice pre-Christmas event for all the family, I would really encourage anyone in the area to come along. It’s a great space for us as local entrepreneurs to exhibit our produce and crafts and we’re all so grateful to Manor West for giving us these opportunities throughout the year. The fair is also a lovely day out before Christmas and gives shoppers the perfect opportunity to find that special, one of a kind gift. Most of all, it gives people a chance to feel some Christmas cheer with their loved ones as festivities get under way.”
Parking is free of charge at Manor West, with over 1,000 manned car parking areas over the festive period as well as extra parking opened daily behind Debenhams and beside Woodie’s during peak traffic times.

Have you notice lately that you are getting trouble from your saorview channels? I have received calls from customers that there are getting no signal. If you are receiving your signal from Knockmoyle transmitter then you need to retune your Television as there is a frequency change, the reason for this as quoted from the saorview Website Following a decision by the EU, some of the TV broadcast spectrum that is used by Saorview is to be reallocated to other purposes. As a result of the 700 MHz migration some Saorview customers will be affected by the changes. The migration is taking place between 4/9/19 and Wednesday 4/3/20, Saorview will be providing information to its viewers re awareness and advice . Saorview customers can check to see if they will be affected by the changes by using this website or contacting Saorview .Many Saorview users will not be affected. But for those that are affected, they will need to retune their Saorview box or TV, and some customers may need to have some work done on their aerial and/or installation.
GOMO Irelands newest phone network... Any good ?
I love a bargain. Like, I really love a bargain. So, when a new network launches in Ireland offering unlimited calls, texts and data for €9.99 GoMo promises to give you “all you need” to stay connected. Their offering is deliberately vague to keep you focused on that €9.99 per month price tag. But, let’s take a step back and look at what unlimited means with GoMo. There is a data limited of 80GB per month. That would be over twenty thousand Spotify tracks. To make things even more real, it’s about 80 hours of Netflix. To be fair that’s a lot compared to other Moblie networks. I decided to switch my wife and daughter over to the network. Ordered the sim online and received it within days, all good so it seems until I tried to move their old number over to the network. It takes days for it to happen so be prepared to not receive calls for a few days. Under the terms and conditions, it’s not available for business users

A special Visit from Santa This Sunday 15th December at Siamsa Tíre, Santa will make a surprise visit for all those attending the Heart of Winter family show which starts at 3pm. The ever popular Lyngo Theatre returns to Siamsa with this magical new musical show which warmly celebrates family, friendship and the good fortune of finding the winter we really need and want…with the precious festive offering of lots of fluffy snow! This heart-warming Christmas tale tells a child’s story.

CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE
BY JOHN ROSS!
RING IT IN
There has been a huge shift this Christmas to beautiful unusual gemstone rings in 9ct or 18ct gold. Any colour gem, any colour gold. Always bold and brilliant. These rings are conversation pieces and will bring so much joy for many years to come. Check out our Facebook or Instagram feeds for lots of inspiration. Above all drop into us in Tralee to view the range.
BANGLE BLISS
GET PERSONAL
A solid 9ct gold bangle is an investment piece that can be worn every day for a lifetime. You can go for a single bangle or stack two of more together. Russian bangles add interest with the three intertwined colours of gold. We have stylish and timeless all gold bangles from €235. The diamond set bangles start at €795.
From initials, to birthstones to hand engraving, necklaces this Christmas are all about personalisation. We have REBECCA initial necklaces and bangles for €39. Our sterling silver Birthstone necklaces can be engraved and we have matching rings and earrings. This range is from €25 to €45. In 9ct gold we have our classic disc necklace and we also have identity bracelets. We can also engrave any of the watches we stock. Engraving is free of charge.
EAR CANDY
Multiple ear piercings are all the rage and we have a HUGE selection of 9ct gold studs suitable for cartilage piercings. Each has a screw fitting. The designs are edgy and cute, from celestial themes, to nature themes to love and romance. From €39 to €55. Pair them with classic hoops adorned with glittering earring charms.
NEW EARRINGS
MOTHERLY LOVE
If multiple piercings are not your thing, but you’d love some new ear décor, then you should drop in to see all the new designs of earrings this year. In plain 9ct gold, shapes are very strong, think hoops and modern hoops. With gemstones, colour is key and lots of it together in clusters. If you are more conservative, go for Art Deco inspired diamond studs. The vintage details with the glitter of diamonds is irresistible.
Our mothers are so precious. This year we have created a new collection with them in mind. Check out our Mother Jewellery in store or online. We are taking orders for Christmas until December 8th. Each item is handmade to order in Dublin.
Last Order Date for Christmas Delivery is December 8th. All these gifts and many more ideas are available here in our online shop or in store at John Ross Jewellers, 4 Lower Castle Street, Tralee. 24

Kerry sees off major international competition to secure Travel Conference DER Touristik, a major German tour operator and the largest tour operator from Mainland Europe to the island of Ireland, has announced it will host its prestigious annual travel academy in Killarney, in October 2020. The event is always held in leading travel destinations – most recently in Cuba in 2019 and in Finland in 2018. Killarney beat off challenges from a number of other top destinations to host the 2020 event. The congress is DER Touristik’s annual event and will take place over three nights, in October 2020. Around 300 top German travel agents, as well as influential travel journalists and senior managers from DER Touristik – are expected to participate. In addition to attending the travel academy, delegates will have the opportunity to participate in specially designed pre-conference tours across Kerry and the island of Ireland – to enhance their knowledge of the tourism
experiences and attractions on offer here and allow them to sample our legendary hospitality and welcome. As well as generating valuable off-season business, giving the local economy a significant boost during a traditionally quieter time, the annual travel academy always helps boost German visitor numbers to the host destination in subsequent years. Welcoming the news, Minister for Tourism and Sport, Brendan Griffin TD, said: “The decision by Der Touristik to hold its 2020 travel academy in Kerry is a real vote of confidence in Killarney Kerry and Ireland and is testament to the strong appeal of Kerry and the island of Ireland as a ‘must see’ destination for German holidaymakers. Niall Gibbons, CEO of Tourism Ireland, said: “It is a tremendous honour for Killarney to have won this prestigious event in the face
of competition from other destinations. Tourism Ireland is delighted to have played its part in securing this event, which confirms Killarney Kerry and Ireland as a world-class destination. Germany is our third-largest source of visitors and in 2018 we welcomed 784,000 German visitors to the island of Ireland.
Kevin Keogh, Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing for Der Touristik, said: “As the market leader for tourism from Germany to the island of Ireland for well over 50 years, DER Touristik is delighted to bring its 300 hundred top travel agents to Ireland for our 2020 Academy and to encourage them the discover the destination.”
Kerry Supporters Club celebrate 30 years by honouring the 5 players who each hold 8 All Ireland Medals
Ger Power, Pat Spillane, Ogie Moran, Mikey Sheehy & the late Paudie O Se hold more collective medals than anyone in the country & it’s to be celebrated at one of the longest running Social gatherings in the county.
Kerry Supporters Club will celebrate their 30th consecutive year at Ballygarry House on Saturday 18th January 2020. The evening will lead with a Drinks reception in the Pavilion on arrival followed by a fabulous menu & live band. The highlight will be honouring the all-time greats on stage with MC Tim Moynihan from Radio Kerry’s Terrace talk who will put them through their paces in a live “on the couch” interview where many a story of the glory years will be revealed.

LAUGHTER ....THE BEST MEDICINE ! A MAN SHOWS OFF HIS APARTMENT TO HIS FRIENDS
After a night of drinking a man shows off his new apartment to his friends. In the bedroom they spot a giant gong. What’s that gong for? They ask. That’s not a gong he says, that’s a talking clock. Yeah right, the friends say, show us how it works then. So the man smashes it as hard as he can and takes a step back. His friends are Just staring when suddenly they hear a bang on the wall and a loud voice ..... ‘stop with the noise you dumb ass it’s 3.45 in the morning!’!! A new Supermarket opened near me.....
A NEW SUPERMARKET OPENED NEAR MY HOUSE.
It has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. And, just before the mister turns on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain. When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and experience the scent of fresh hay. When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle, and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying on the stove. The veggie department features the smell of freshly buttered corn. I don’t buy toilet paper there anymore
LITTLE JOHNNY IS PLAYING IN HIS ROOM..
When his mother comes in and announces that they are going to go next door to see their neighbors newborn baby. Johnny’s mother is well aware that Johnny has a VERY bad habit of saying the most inappropriate things at the most inappropriate of times. Couple that with the fact that the baby next door was born without any ears, this prompts Johnny’s mother to sternly warn Johnny that if he utters a single word about the babies missing ears, she will in fact beat him into next week.
Hearing this, Johnny promises that he will not say one word about the newborn babies malady. Off they go to the neighbors house to see the new baby. Upon peering into the crib, little Johnny’s eyes get wide and he exclaims. “WOW! What beautiful hair your baby has. She is soooo beautiful.” “Why thank you Johnny.” the new Mother replies. “What a kind thing for you to say.” “And such beautiful blue eyes she has.” Johnny says. “Can she see well out of those beautiful eyes?” “Why yes Johnny.” The proud Mother says. “In fact she has perfect 20/20 vision.” “Well that is great!” says little Johnny “Because if she needed glasses, she’d be in trouble !!” AND SOME JOKES FROM OUR READERS ... THIS WEEK ...ITS FROM MELONIE
THE BELL RINGER
A church’s bell ringer passed away. So they posted the position and a man came in with no arms wanting the job. The clergy wasn’t sure he could do it, but he convinced them to let him try it. They climbed the bell tower and the guy ran toward the bell and hit it with his head. They gave him the job. The next day he went to ring the bell, tripped, bounced off the bell and fell to the sidewalk below. Two guys were walking past. One asked, “Do you know this guy?” The second guy responded, “No, but his face rings a bell.” The next day, the dead bell ringer’s twin brother comes in for the again vacant bell ringer position. He also has no arms. They lead him up to the bell tower, he runs at the bell, trips and falls to the sidewalk below. The same two guys walk by. The first asks, “Do you know him?” The second guy responds, “No, but he’s a dead ringer for the guy we saw yesterday.”

WHAT’S HAPPENING in Tralee...
Beauty
HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE I hope you’re all having a fantastic week!
I CANNOT BELIEVE that it’s less than two weeks until Christmas… how did that happen? WOW. LASHES
I love having a few fresh pairs of lashes for the Christmas season. It’s a must in my opinion. Lashes just add that little extra something to a makeup look! A few of the brands and styles I swear by are…
HYDRATION
If you follow me anywhere online you know I always say ‘Hydration is key’. So make sure you get your water in… minimum 2 litres per day folks. Your skin will suffer otherwise. In addition to this here’s a few of my favourite hydrating products.
RED LIP A red lip for me is absolutely key at Christmas time (it hides all signs of hangovers and tiredness)... A few of my favourite shades are:
Lilly Lashes - Miami €30 (you get 25+ wears out of one pair) on Beautybay (online) Penneys ‘Full Look’ lashes €1.50
Ardell Wispie Lashes €25 (for 5 pairs) or €7 for one pair (in boots)
Clarins Joli Rouge 742 or 743 €24
Kiss Lashes - Lash Couture Naked Drama: There’s so many styles, my favourite is Tulle €10.50
Charlotte Tilbury Red Carpet Red €32
CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser €10 (available in most pharmacies)
SPARKLES ON THE EYE
Sparkly eyeshadow is fab at Christmas. You can add a pop of sparkle to any look and call it a day. My all time favourite thing to add sparkle is the Stila Magnificent Metals, shade Kitten Karma is my all time favourite. You can get them in Mcauleys Chemist or if you’re lucky TK Maxx. €29 You can of course use any sparkly eyeshadow, but those are my favourites.

HELLO STRONG PEOPLE I hope you’re all having a fantastic week.
Wanna know what to get the gym go-er in your life? Or wanna hint someone for gift ideas? This week’s page is for you! Protein Bars - Do a little digging and figure out what their favourite ones are - then grab a few. My personal favourites are the Fulfil Salted Caramel, Grenade Salted Peanut or Grenade White Chocolate. You can buy protein bars in Holland & Barrett, Deals, Tesco, Supervalu, Dunnes… etccccc.
A crate / few cans of their favourite energy drink - Last year I got a crate of white monster from my Secret Santa, it was amazing! I also really like 3D Energy, it’s in Holland & Barrett.
Myprotein/Bodyfirst Nutrition Gift Voucher - If they use MyProtein but you don’t have a notion what they get a voucher is a great option!
Reusable water bottle - We all know we shouldn’t buy one time use plastic bottles. I got a Root7 refillable bottle in TK Maxx and it’s fantastic, it keeps my water cold for up to 48 hours… wow.
Gymshark / Alphalete / Lifestyle Voucher - Again this applies with any sportswear brand, you can never have enough gym clothes! Or at least I can’t anyway
Wireless Headphones - I got a pair of wireless beats last year and I love them! They are so so handy for the gym.

Drop in tourist numbers deep concern for Kerry Restaurants The Restaurants Association of Ireland are calling on the government to reduce the food VAT rate after recent figures released by the CSO show a worrying decrease in tourism figures for 2019.The figures cover the period between July to September 2019 and show that compared to the same period in 2018, nights spent in Ireland by overseas travellers decreased by 4.5%. This is traditionally the peak tourist season for Ireland Adrian Cummins, CEO of the Restaurants Association of Ireland“The Restaurants Association of Ireland are angry at the government’s complete lack of action to support the tourism industry in Ireland. The latest CSO figures are extremely worrying for restaurant and food businesses who rely hugely on the tourism trade to keep afloat. The higher food VAT rate makes Ireland more expensive and less appealing for visitors. An immediate reduction in the food VAT rate is essential to combat these declining tourism figures. We ask that the 40 million promised to the industry in Budget 2020 by Minister for Finance Paschal Donoghue be allocated immediately to combat these decreasing figures. Businesses will continue to face closure if costs aren’t cut and tourism will continue to suffer.” Other concerning results from the CSO figures show that the average duration of overseas trips to Ireland decreased from 7.4 nights during the period in 2018 to 7.0 nights in 2019. There were however some positives from the CSO figures, with the number of business trips to Ireland increasing during the same period from 333 to 350.

FAI NATIONAl P.R.O. OF THE YEAR SECOND LAST COLUMN OF THE YEAR: NA GAEIL CREATES HISTORY BUT MORE TO COME: It’s a great time to be a player, manager or member of Na Gaeil and we congratulate them on being crowned Munster Junior Champions. Once again they were far superior to their opponents and now even the disruption of the game being moved from 3pm back to 11am due to the weather warning bothered them. From the first minute when Dara Devine pointed the Tralee side were never headed and when the same player was quickest to react, after the Mullinahone keeper saved a Diarmuid O’Connor shot, and hit the net it was 1-07 to no score at the half. Na Gaeil continued to push on and ended up hitting 3-13 while their opponents scored 1-01 very late on. Munster Council Vice-Chair Ger Ryan presented the Cup to a delighted captain Eoin Doody. Na Gaeil are the youngest club in Kerry and the youngest in Munster to win this trophy. The win sets up another Kerry v Mayo clash in the All Ireland semi-final when they will face Kilmaine in January and the squad and management won’t be looking further forward than that game. The Na Gaeil AGM took place last night, Thursday December 12th, while the rest of the activities on and off the field continue during the winter. In the Lotto there was no winner from the numbers drawn 4, 15, 21 and 28 and the next jackpot is e2,900. KERRY SUPPORTERS CLUB CELEBRATES 30 YEARS: Ger Power, Pat Spillane, Ogie Moran, Mikey Sheehy and the late Paudie O Se hold more collective medals than anyone in the country and this is to be celebrated at one of the longest running Social gatherings in the county. Kerry Supporters Club will celebrate their 30th consecutive year at Ballygarry House on Saturday 18th January 2020. The evening will lead with a Drinks reception in the Pavilion on arrival followed by a fabulous menu & live band. The highlight will be honouring the all-time greats on stage with MC Tim Moynihan from Radio Kerry’s Terrace talk who will put them through their paces in a live “on the couch” interview where many a story of the glory years will

be revealed. Chairperson Donie O’Leary and the organising committee said “It will be a gathering like no other we have had to date. To have such marvellous players & talent together with 40 medals collectively in the room is a first for the Kerry Supporters. We travelled the length & breath of the country to see these men play for Kerry & we really look forward to off the ball tales on the night” One of the highlights during the meal will be the panel discussion, hosted by Radio Kerry’s Tim Moynihan, and featuring five Kerry panellists who have all won eight All Ireland Medals each. This lineup includes Ogie Moran, Mikey Sheehy, Pat Spillane, Ger Power & Padraig Og O’Se on behalf of his late father Paudi O’Se. Tickets are for sale through any committee member or at the main reception at Ballygarry House Hotel 0667123322 KERRY ON THE EIR: Eir Sport has announced their coverage of the Allianz Leagues with 15 football and hurling games being broadcast live. The action kicks off on Saturday January 25th with a triple header. First up is the hurling clash between All Ireland senior hurling champions and the League champions Limerick in Semple Stadium. The games will be across all three Eir Sport channels and at 7.15pm there will be two football clashes with 5-in-a-row and under new management Dublin will welcome the Kingdom to Croke Park in a mouth-watering repeat of this year’s All Ireland final. Also on the day Mayo travel to Ballybofey to take on Donegal. On the 29th of February Kerry will also be on television when they are away to Mayo. PARNELL’S NEWS: The Scor question time took place in Mallow with the club represented by Damien Kisaane, Dermot Reen, Donnacha Buttimer and Stephen Buttimer. The lads performed very well and just missed out on a place in the All Ireland final by finishing 4th with just 3 to qualify. Rathmore and Churchill did make it through to the final this Saturday in Croke Park. The finals of Scor na nOg will be held in Glenbeigh this Sunday morning starting at 11am and the club wishes all its members the best and also to the quiz team who have their competition.
Friday 13th December 2019
CLUB NIGHT OUT: A small but select few gathered in Sean Ógs last Saturday night to bring the curtain down on what was a historic and successful year for the club. For the first time in its history, the club fielded Senior Mens and Ladies teams and the men certainly showed they deserved to be playing Senior hurling, having got to the County Intermediate Championship semi-final, beaten by the eventual winners Kilgarvan. Our juveniles also had a great year, the highlight being participation in Féile na nGael, where the boys hosted Éire Óg, Carrickmore, Co. Tyrone and the girls hosted Castleblaney, Co. Monaghan.
team will be made up of Maurice o’Connell, Sean Rice, Iseult Ni Bhriain and Jared O’Briain. In the Lotto there was no winner from the numbers drawn, in the Half Way Bar, 2,11, 24 and 27 with the Jackpot of e5,700 not won.
CLUB DRAW: At the club night out, the early sellers draw was held for those who had sold GAA National Draw tickets by the 7th December. Íde Hennessy was the 1st prize winner and she can look forward to relaxing after Christmas in the Nadúr Spa in Ballygarry, followed by lunch and 2nd prize was won by Luke & Ryan Hanafin who won a hamper of Christmas goodies, Club merchandise & a session at The Sports Recovery Clinic. Please return any outstanding tickets as soon as possible to any member of the Club Executive.
The club held a successful AGM and the management committee are all set for 2020 under Chair Christy Murphy and Chair Jimmy Mulligan. A full committee is in place.
BAG PACKING: The club has two big bag packing fundraisers coming up over the next 2 weekends. Next Sunday 15th December, club members will be at Tesco's in Manor and the following Sunday, 22nd December, they will be at Dunnes Stores, North Circular Road. Funds collected will be used towards the running of the club. Please look out for them and any support would be very much appreciated. BALLYMAC NEWS: There were great celebrations in the club with the Coiste na nOg section being named as the Club of the Year. The announcement was made at the Kerry Coiste na nOg AGM with Chairman Declan O’Connell and Secretary Ger Collins picking up the award on behalf of the club. The award was seen as a recognition for all the work being done at the young level both present and all those who were involved over all the years in the club. The AGM of the Coiste na nOg clun will take place on Sunday January 5th 2020. The club is delighted that Emma Sweeney has been elected to the position of Assistant Secretary of Kerry GAA.
