The club is affiliated with North Kerry and their players play with St Kieran's divisional team.

In the 2010 season of Celebrity Bainisteoir, home advantage for each game bar the final was determined by an assault course challenge, which took place at the Irish Army's training camp in The Curragh, County Kildare.

In the semi-finals, having won the home venue decider in the Curragh, Desmonds hosted Breffny Morgan's County Galway team, Kilconly.

Now under pressure, Kickhams missed one point-scoring opportunity, but succeeded with another to narrow the gap to a single point.

As the game intensified, an incident occurred which resulted in a Desmond's player receiving a second yellow card, and being sent off with four minutes remaining.
