Inter Kenmare FC is asking our players, friends and supporters past and present to help us to raise much needed funds to realise our ambition of installing a full-size Astro Playing pitch at our Dromneavane home. This ambitious project will cost approximately €500,000 to fully complete including floodlights, fencing, spectator area etc. Our progressive club has continued to work tirelessly to provide football for members of the community in the greater Kenmare area and our success to date has led to an increased interest in members wanting to play for Inter Kenmare and we are striving to meet that demand.

It just takes a minute to join our grassroots fundraising lotto, and for the price of a cup of coffee, you will make a big difference for our club. We hope that the weekly option of €2.50 per line will allow everybody to join.
If you can contribute 3 lines for €5 or 7 lines for €10 it would be hugely appreciated and you never know you might just win!.

Our first draw is on Thursday 29th April
To celebrate our launch, everybody who has 3 lines in the weekly lotto draw will also be entered into a special draw for a PLAYSTATION 5 on 13th May.

Please spread the word for others to join. Thank you so much for your support and the best of luck.

Where we are and where we are going

Founded in 1985 Inter Kenmare was originally known as ‘Templenoe Tigers’. The team had a truly international feel to it including players from Holland, England, Germany and of course Ireland. In 1989 the club changed its name to Internazionale in honour of its multi-cultural origins.

For a period of its history the club lead a nomadic life, moving to various locations around the Kenmare area, before setting a semi-permanent base in Gortumullen on the Sneem Rd. This remained our home for a number of years before a need to expand and improve our facilities pushed us to up stakes again and purchase just over 3 hectares of land in Dromneavane on which we have built two full sized playing pitches and a clubhouse.

 

The club currently fields teams from under 11 to senior; boasting two men’s senior teams, a ladies’ team, O-35’s team and underage teams at U11, U12, U13, U14, U15, U16, U16 & U17. We also have an academy for boys and girls between the ages of 5 & 9 which runs for 38 weeks of the year taking part in various blitzes throughout this time. Every year we endeavour to field teams at every age group possible.

We consider ourselves to be a community club with no parish, gender, nationality, colour or creed favoured over another, we are a soccer club with our only goal being to ensure that every person who wants to play and enjoy soccer can be afforded that opportunity.

‘Football for Everyone’ is the next chapter in the story of Inter Kenmare FC. It is about how we will continue to deliver the ambitions of those people who met 35 years ago and their belief that football would add value to their community. But the next chapter is also about much more than just local football. It is about the opportunity that the changing landscape of Irish football will bring. It is about providing a player pathway from Under 5’s to Senior football and beyond. It is about providing football for boys, girls, senior men, senior women and those with Special Needs, all based in a world class facility in Dromneavane.

We will create a club that everyone will be proud to call their own.
