the pressure is off re fixtures now. i agree that the county lads deserve a week r so to wind down before getting back into the serious county championship stuff. It will also allow divisonal teams a bit of time to get their act together, train together and play a challenge game or two. kerry' s earlier than usual exit might actually make for a better county championship. And we need the championship to throw up a few new players especially defenders!! will be played the 22nd I say. lads won't be in no mind for football this weekend. county league won't be postponed. I say 3rd round the 22nd, Quarter finals the following week the 29th. Semi finals and final for September. hope all games in the county r finished by the start of November. Players deserve the winter off. Season is too long

West Kerry unlucky with three away draws so far. Hopefully they can improve again; the team selection is evolving nicely.

kerrys early exit and the fact that there has been a break of 3 or 4 weeks since kerry's exit will mean that the divsional teams will have extra time to prepare, train play challenges etc. predictions south kerry to beat kierans by around 5 pts feale rangers to beat austin stacks by aroudd 5 pts. stacks struggled a draw against a finuge side in the league last week that were understrength and many of the finuge lads had played hurling championship the night before. Feale have home advantage and mix the listowel lads in with finuge and i think feale will be too strong I have a feeling that kenmare could make life tricky for crokes down in kenmare. If they had paul o'connor they d be an even bigger threat. The kenmare backs wont be able to hold cooper, brosnan and o'leary for the hour. Crokes might only get out of this one by a score or two. Laune v W Kerry - the injury situation with dara and aodhan could be crucial. I think w kerry mite be about to gel though and will sneak through Mid kerry to beat Rathmore Dingle to edge out St Michaels St Brendans v KOR - This is a banana skin for KOR. The Brendan's lads will love a cut off their townie neighbours. Is David O'Callaghan fit?? Is there a chance of an upset here? Anyone know what kind of preparation , the Brendans have put in??

Tommy Griffin out injured for Dingle according to the radio today.
Aodhan Mac Gearailt will be missing for Gaeltacht I'D imagine. They are unlucky to be away from home for the 3rd time this year. I had no idea of the problem with his eye until I read the interview in the Kingdom . He really has had a bad time and its a miracle that he is playing at all.

I suppose Aodhán wasn't in the frame at the start of the year by his own steam but he'd be a great addition (played 2nd half + ET vs SR). Three away games unlucky but the odds are 7/1 not 100/1 I suppose.

South Kerry v St. Kierans - South Kerry by 3. Declan and Ronan Hussey are out as far as I know as well as young Paul O'Donoghue so firepower might be an issue. In his home field you'd expect Bryan Sheehan to shoot the lights out even with Padraig Reidy hanging off him.
Feale Rangers v Austin Stacks - Feale Rangers by 1. Feale Rangers have been hit by a spate of emigration and could struggle. Don't be surpised if Stacks spring a surprise of sorts but the battle hardened Northerners might squeeze it.
Kenmare District v Dr. Crokes - Dr, Crokes by at least 6. Kenmare's midfield often gives them a huge foothold in games but Crokes midfield will at least breakeven and a qoung and improving Kenmare don't have the backs to cope.
Laune Rangers v West Kerry - West Kerry by 2. The western boys have put in a big effort in the last 6 weeks and though they will miss Aodhan, they seem like they are beginning to gel. It will be tight though.
Mid Kerry v Rathmore - Rathmore by 2. If Rathmore can step it up another 10% they will rattle anyone in the championship. Were unlucky last week in the Club final with some decisions at times but they have the ability to come through this. Needless to say they big performances from the likes of young Mark Reen and George O'Keeffe and well as the county boys.
Dingle v St. Michael's Foilmore - St. Michael's Foilmore by 3. In their meeting last weekend St. Michael's Foilmore came through by 4 in Foilmore. If, as is being muted Tommy Griffin is absent, it should negate home advantage and see the Southerners through.
St. Brendan's v Kerins O'Rahillys - Kerins O'Rahillys by 3. This could be an absolute dinger of a derby. St. Brendans have massive firepower but getting hold of the wall will be a struggle. If the Poffs can get any decent supply of ball into Hurley, O'Donoghue and O'Callaghan they will do damage. However I feel Rahillys are too strong in the middle and this territorial advantage will set the platform for Quill and the BJs to shoot the Narries through.

At variance with some of my other posts but I expect a big win from Dingle tomorrow over Bally.
Hope WK can gel a bit more. Need to get the selection at midfield in order.

Crokes absolutley walloped Kenmare. Gooch ran the show by all accounts... They were only in 2nd gear for this game.
V v poor showing from a Kenmare team who put it really up to Rahillys earleir in the year. The goal they got came from a v soft penalty.
On this form, Crokes have to be favoured to go along way this year.

Austin Stacks 1-13 Feale Rangers 0-14
I suppose there was an element of surprise about this result but it is no secret that divisional teams are at their most vulnerable at this time of the year. Also, even though I did not get my hands on a programme, Feale Rangers seemed to be missing a good few regulars including the Corridan brothers and Patrick Curtin.
The game was entertaining and closely contested with the result in the balance to the end. For Austin Stacks Daniel Bohane lined out at CHB, William Kirby and Barry Shanahan at midfield and KD ad full forward. For Feale Rangers Declan Griffin was full back, Brendan Guiney at wing back, Eamon Fitzmaurice and Anthony Maher at midfield, Paul Galvin at wing forward and Noel Kennelly at full forward.
The Feale Rangers goalie could be faulted for the goal. He allowed the ball to hop. The resultant hop was too high for him but not for KD who slammed it home. KD deserved the goal as he had been rampant up to that and thereafter. He scored about 1-3 from play and kicked a forty yards free as well. He came out to the midfield area in the last five or ten minutes and won a few sky scrapers. Man of the match.
Daniel Bohane was competent while William Kirby was the dominant midfielder on view with no help from Barry Shanahan. Michael Collins in the first half and Graham O'Connell also made contributions.
For Feale Rangers, Brandan Guiney was outstanding in the second half and Brian McGuire to a lesser extent. Neither midfielder made a significant impact. Conor Cox and Noel Kennelly kicked some great long range points. Paul Galvin made no impression and went off injured in any case.
One aspect of the game which intrigued me was the unwillingness of both managements to rectify some glaring weaknesses on their teams. For example KD destroyed Declan Griffin from pillar to post yet no move was made to rectify this. I felt that Brendan Guiney or Eamon Fitzmaurice should have been switched back there at an early stage. In that context Pat Corridan was a big loss for the North Kerry lads. Likewise at the other end, Conor Cox and Noel Kennelly regularly beat their men, kicking several fine points between them. Daniel Bohane was eventually switched to full back at a very late stage but the match could have been lost by then. Paradoxically, Feale Rangers management helped Stacks solve the Conor Cox problem. When Paul went off injured they switched Conor out to wing forward where he more or less drifted out off the game.
Austin Stacks prospects? I would not be too optimistic. The backs were very suspect, a lot of them on the small side, and they fouled too readily. Advice? Get that ball in fast and often to KD. Too often tonight they fiddled out field as the great man waited and waited.

Thanks for that veteran. Good to get the salient details so soon after the end of proceedings.
As a matter of interest is Declan o'Sullivan's injury the same one he sustained in the Down match? He was pivotal to South Kerry's success last year and will be a big loss.

Kenmare district were very poor but massively up against it. Crokes dominated all areas of the pitch. Gooch was the class act, even without him Crokes would still have won.

Laune Rangers 1-7 1-10 West Kerry Anyone at the game? Yeah: Tomąs Mac an tSaoir let in a bit of a stinker in the end to put a gloss on it. WK had a purple patch in the middle of the second hitting I think 1-4 in quick time - Shane Foley with the goal. Might elaborate tomorrow but going to the pub now.

Laune Rangers 1-07 West Kerry 1-10 1st half was poor with way too many wides and shots dropped short, West Kerry led 5pts to 4pts. Paidi must have had some half time team talk because West Kerry came out strongly at the start of the 2nd half and took control of midfield and the game. With 10mins to go they led 1-10 to 5pts but Mac an tSaoir just watched a long ball bounce past him into the net. Two late Laune Rangers points merely put respectability on the scoreboard.
Mid Kerry 1-8 Rathmore 2-8 A penalty in either half saw Rathmore through, John Buckley and Aidan O'Mahony were the pick of their players.
