Twenty-eight adult men’s and ladies clubs from all over Ireland will take part in the 36th edition of the Lidl Comórtas Peile Páidí Ó Sé later this month.

The famed club ladies and men’s Gaelic football tournament will be held across the Dingle Peninsula from February 21-23. Founded by eight-time All-Ireland winner Páidí Ó Sé, the football festival is supported by Lidl Ireland, EJ Menswear, Kerry County Council Tourism Unit, Medel Healthcare, Dooctor.ie, Fáilte Ireland and Údarás na Gaeltachta, and has attracted over 30,000 club players since it was founded in 1989. One of the highlights of the weekend will be a performance by Irish band Super Céilí at Páidí Ó Sé’s pub in Ventry, West Kerry.

Comórtas chairman Pádraig Óg Ó Sé said: "About 500 players and also mentors and supporters are in full planning mode to kick off their season with a weekend away and we are ready with social events and craic around Comórtas HQ Páidí Ó Sé’s pub and of course football lovers can also expect some great competitive matches over the weekend.

"We thank all our title sponsor Lidl who are a key driver of the growth of Ladies Gaelic games in Ireland through their LGFA sponsorship. They contribute every year to the vision my father had, which was to promote the club game and also to attract people to the beautiful Dingle Peninsula.”
