The Kingdom usually hold an open day for supporters prior to them playing in an All-Ireland final where fans can get photos with their heroes.

Kerry GAA tweeted: "Unfortunately due to covid concerns, we have decided against an Open Day with the fans this year.

"This was a very difficult decision to make but the risk of accelerating the spread of the virus to vulnerable people was just too high."

One event that is going ahead though is RTE's Up for the Match, which was cancelled in both 2020 and last year.
