The Kerryman (South Kerry Edition)
Castle to take on Dingle in ‘18 final
THIS Sunday Castlegregory will play Dingle in the Lee Strand West Kerry League Final of 2018 in Castlegregory at 2pm.
This has the makings of a great game of football with Castlegregory under the guidance of new manager Gavin O’Connor hoping to topple Seán Geaney’s Dingle, the reigning West Kerry champions of 2018.
Castlegregory have started the year well with a comprehensive win over Annascaul and a two point defeat to An Ghaeltacht. O’Connor has brought a lot of experience and enthusiasm to his team with his appointment and will be hoping that his charges rise to the challenge.
Dingle have had two wins from two games this year and Seán Geaney will be hoping to add the league title to last year’s championship crown.
