Breandán Fitzgerald
THE much anticipated and eagerly awaited inaugural Quinn’s Bar Ventry West Kerry Team of the Championship will be announced this week. The players will be picked on their performances in this year’s Moran’s of Dingle West Kerry Senior Championship.
“I’m very happy for all the players selected on the first West Kerry Team of the Championship and I’m glad that I didn’t have to pick it,” Paul Quinn said.
“The players will be announced this Friday at 9.30pm in Quinn’s Bar. We’ll also be revealing the Player of the Championship and Young Player of the Championship for 2018 on the night. So it should be a great night and start a lot of discussion in West Kerry on who made the team or didn’t make it.”
Cathaoirleach Bhord Chiarraí Thiar, Muiris Ó Fiannachta said:
“We’ll have a great evening in Quinn’s celebrating West Kerry football, perhaps it will start a lot of debate on who was or wasn’t selected, but won’t it get us through the winter when we have no football. Congratulations to all of the footballers who were selected, they all helped to make it a great Moran’s of Dingle West Kerry Senior Championship.”
Make sure to come to Quinn’s Bar Ventry this Friday at 9.30pm where the West Kerry Team of the Championship 2018 will be announced and the Player of the Championship and Young Player of the Championship for 2018 will be revealed. Fáilte roimh chách!

“I’d like to thank all of our officers and delegates who have served alongside me and made this job so much easier for me. Thanks to The Kerryman, Kerry’s Eye, Radio na Gaeltachta, Radio Kerry and the lads in West Kerry Live for the wonderful coverage that they give to football in West Kerry.
