The draw has taken place for the 2025 Kerry SHC which gets underway in four weeks’ time.

Holders Abbeydorney, who bridged a 50-year gap last year, are in the same group as Tralee Parnells and Causeway, while last year’s runners-up Ballyduff will face St Brendan’s and Crotta O’Neills. The other group comprises Kilmoyley, Lixnaw and Ballyheigue.

Two of the three group winners will qualify directly for the semi-finals via a draw, while the other group winner along with the three second-placed teams will contest two quarter-finals. Repeat pairings will be avoided, where possible.
