Clifford is the new Kerry captain

County Board PRO Leona Twiss with all the GAA news

KERRY’S opening game in the Allianz football league is on Saturday night against Dublin at 7.15pm in Croke Park.

Peter Keane will be announcing his team later in the week. At Monday’s pre-League press briefing, David Clifford was announced as the Kerry senior football team captain for 2020 having been nominated by the reigning county champions East Kerry.

This is a tremendous honour for David, his parents Ellen and Dermot, and his club Fossa. We wish David and his Kerry colleagues a successful 2020!

The Kerry versus Dublin game is the third game in a triple header as it will be preceded by the All-Ireland Junior and Intermediate club finals. We are delighted that Na Gaeil will feature in the Junior Final where they will meet Rathgarogue-Cushinstown at 3.15pm. We wish Na Gaeil the very best of luck in the final!
