History
[edit | edit source]Located four miles west of Killarney, County Kerry, Fossa GAA Club was founded on 11 January 1970.[2] The club leased a field from the nearby Liebherr firm in 1972 and the following year fielded its first team in the East Kerry League and Championship and in Division 4 of the County League.[3] Fossa won their first championship in 2016, winning the Kerry Junior Championship.[4]
Fossa won the Kerry Premier Junior title in 2022, beating Listry in the final after extra-time.[5] They went on to claim the Munster Junior title after wins over Castlemahon in the semi-final and Kilmurry in the final.[6][7] On 15 January 2023, Fossa faced Stewartstown Harps at Croke Park in the All-Ireland final. Fossa won by 0–19 to 1–13 in a bad-tempered game which featured six red cards.[8]
In Fossa's first year in the Kerry Intermediate Championship in 2023, they reached the final after a penalty shoot-out win over Austin Stacks.[9] Fossa lost the final by a point to Milltown/Castlemaine[10]
