Welcome to our online platform! We are delighted
to give you free access to this digital programme which
will keep you informed on team news as you watch this weekend’s
two semi-finals in the Garvey’s Senior Football Championship.
It is difficult for people to stay away from games particularly when it comes to the
Garvey’s Senior Football Championship. However Kerry GAA has endeavoured to
provide opportunities for you to support your team through using a range of media
platforms. We are delighted that TG4 are in a position to bring you live coverage of
Friday’s game and Saturday’s game can also be enjoyed from the comfort of your home
as it is available to stream on the Kerry GAA website.
I wish the players and management from all four teams the very best of luck this weekend.
It is challenging to play such an important game in an empty stadium but the reward of
bringing the Bishop Moynihan home is invaluable.
I wish to sincerely thank the Garvey Group for their
continued sponsorship of this great Championship.
We have had some great games already in the
Championship and these two semi-finals will be hard
to call with evenly matched teams involved.
I wish to thank Ger O’Mahony and the team at Austin
Stack Park for having the grounds in immaculate condition.
Wherever you are in the world, I hope you enjoy
these games!
