Founded in the early 1990s, Killorglin Rowing Club (KRC) is situated on the banks of the river Laune. The river is the venue for the water-based training when the tides are right. The state-of-the-art boat house was completed in 2004 and the excellent facility is well used for land-based training as well as numerous social/rowing events throughout the year. They host the Kerry Head of the River, held on the beautiful River Laune in February/March each year. Check out their Facebook Page here

River Laune

Killorglin Basketball Club has a long history going back to the 1960’s but after a brief period it was resurrected in 1999 when the senior ladies entered some juvenile teams and a senior ladies team into competing within the county again. Growing from strength to strength since then the club now has over 12 juvenile teams and at least 2 senior teams competing with the Kerry Area Basketball Board. Check out their Facebook Page here

Killorglin Sports Complex

The 14th Kerry Killorglin Scout Group was reopened in 2012. Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Venture Scouts groups run from a base in Killorglin Community College, where they facilitate and encourage each child to develop skills and knowledge that will assist them in becoming very capable and independent young people whilst also developing life long skills in multiple disciplines. We offer these children the opportunity to access and experience outdoor – camping, hiking, climbing, cooking, pioneering and backwoods. Check out their Facebook Page here.
