History
On 15 November 1982, on the initiative of the then chairman of the East Kerry GAA Board Seán Kelly a meeting was called for the Park Place Hotel with the aim of setting up a Club to promote hurling in the division. Among those present were Connie Carroll Runai E.K.B, Pa Doyle, Gerald Landers, Brother Justin, Derry Crowley, Johnny Culloty, Michaell Culloty, Tadhgie Fleming, Joe Doherty, Liam McGuire Tom Holohan, and Noel O'Connor. It was decided that the name of the Club would be St. Patricks East Kerry GAA Club.
The Club has enjoyed varying levels of success with the winning of the Kerry Intermediate Hurling Championship in 1983 and 1990 and the County League division 2 in 1985, being chief among them.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Psychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps undermining the effort.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The steps toward the emancipation of women are first intellectual, then industrial, lastly legal and political. Great strides in the first two of these stages already have been made of millions of women who do not yet perceive that it is surely carrying them towards the last.”
—Ellen Battelle Dietrick, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 13, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
