Happy birthday to a club that is near and dear to our hearts.
Our founder, Ulick, is from Killarney and is an avid supporter of the Dr. Crokes GAA
Our support for the club traces back to the late 1890’s when our grand uncle, Eugene O’Sullivan, played for the Dr Crokes and eventually became the chairman of the Kerry County Board.
On 2 November 1886 eighteen Dangerous Dreamers met in candlelight secrecy in Killarney and dared to dream to found the famous Dr Crokes GAA club.
They met many challenges including World War 1,the 1916 Rising, RIC, Black & Tans, War of Independence, Civil War, World War 2, Covid and many more. Yet they persevered. They passed the torch to today's club members which shines so brightly. Happy 139th birthday today November 2, 2025
