Hoops to host Cork City at Celtic Park

League of Ireland giants Cork City will be back in Killarney on Saturday afternoon, three years after they last paid a visit to the town.

The Turner’s Cross club will come to Celtic Park to take on Kerry District League kingpins Killarney Celtic in a preseason friendly with kick-off at the Derreen venue at 3pm.

Celtic are currently top of the Kerry Premier A and looking strong in their quest of winning yet another league title, while City are preparing for another season in the First Division. Their first competitive game of the 2022 campaign sees them face Midleton in the Munster Senior Cup on January 22, and their league opener is on February 18 against Bray Wanderers. Last year Colin Healy’s side finished sixth.

The match will provide Celtic with a stern test and is sure to draw interest from local soccer fans. Admission is €5 for adults and U16s can attend free of charge.
