Cahir are back to compete in the junior men’s cup at the Lidl Comórtas Peile Páidí Ó Sé 2025, the famed club ladies and men’s Gaelic football tournament, taking place all across the Dingle Peninsula on the weekend of February 21-23.

The Tipperary team lost by a point in the final last year and are no doubt keen to go one step further in 2025. They are up against Cork’s Glengarriff in the straight knockout semi-final. Should they progress, they will play the final against either St Patrick’s of Limerick city or Athgarvan of Kildare.

14 counties from the four provinces of Ireland will take part in the 36th edition of the Lidl Comórtas Peile Páidí Ó Sé, with 28 adult men’s and ladies club teams coming for a weekend of competitive football and social events including popular Irish band Super Céilí at Páidí Ó Sé’s pub in Ventry, West Kerry.

 
A recent research study by Lidl revealed ahead of the 2025 Lidl National Leagues said that 42% of the Irish public are more likely to attend female games to watch a high-profile player.
The Comórtas certainly helps that statistic every year, as the cream of GAA club football descend on West Kerry and this year sees many championship-winning teams competing, as well as many inter-county players on show once again, which enhances the quality of football.

The football festival, which was founded by eight-time All-Ireland winner Páidí Ó Sé, 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.
