CASTLEBAR Mitchels will line out in the men’s senior competition as part of the Lidl Comórtas Peile Páidí Ó Sé 2022 taking place all across the Dingle Peninsula from February 25 to 27.

The six-team competition sees them up against Kerry’s Listry, Padraig Pearses of Roscommon, Galbally GAA and St. Kieran’s GAA from Limerick and Carberry Rangers of Cork.

Dedicated to keeping the spirit alive of the famed Kerry footballing legend Páidí Ó Sé, the festival is a celebration of all that is great about the club game on and off the pitch.

Fourteen counties across the four provinces of Ireland will take part in the 33rd edition of the Lidl Comórtas Peile Páidí Ó Sé, with 20 adult men’s and ladies club teams at senior and junior level coming for a weekend of competitive football and social events at Páidí Ó Sé’s pub in Ventry, west Kerry.

Some familiar faces will be lining out over the weekend including The Corona’s frontman Danny O’Reilly with Dublin’s Templeogue Synge Street GAA as well as TV sports broadcaster Aisling O’Reilly with Co. Meath’s Ratoath LGFA.

The football festival has attracted over 17,000 club players since it was founded in 1989.

Comórtas chairman Pádraig Óg Ó Sé said: “We are thrilled to get back on our feet and maintain Páidí’s vision to host a major GAA club gathering in west Kerry every year. When restrictions opened up, we received a flood of interest from clubs including Castlebar Mitchels wondering would we be going ahead and we are pleased to have secured club representatives from all over Ireland in a matter of weeks.”
