Championship 2020 The West Kerry Board are delighted to announce that Moran’s of Dingle have continued their sponsorship of the West Kerry Senior Football Championship 2020. “The West Kerry Board is delighted to have Moran’s of Dingle as our main sponsor for our West Kerry Senior Football Championship this year. John Moran has generously sponsored our main competition in West Kerry for the last few years and that he is continuing to do so this year means an awful lot to the West Kerry Board. This is our premier football competition in West Kerry and for John and Moran’s of Dingle to stay with us as our main sponsors shows their commitment to the West Kerry community and is a credit to John Moran and all his family. We’re all looking forward to some great games of football in this year’s Moran’s of Dingle West Kerry Senior Football Championship despite them having to be played behind closed doors due to Covid-19” - Cathaoirleach Bhord Chiarraí Thiar, John Courtney. “We are extremely happy to continue as the sponsors of the West Kerry Senior Football Championship this year. Everyone knows that it has been a difficult year with Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions and we felt it was very important to stay as sponsors with the West Kerry Board. We are always looking to give something back to the West Kerry Community and now it’s more important than ever to support our local teams and footballers.” - John Moran of Moran’s of Dingle. All Games behind closed doors with only 80 Team Personnel (40 per team) in addition to essential match day personnel such as Match Officials, Media, Streaming Personnel & required event officials (Stewards etc). This is very disappointing for all West Kerry GAA supporters but must be adhered to.
