Are the Kerry players aloud play round 4 and 5 of county leagues does anyone know? no Kerry players playing this weekend anyway as far as I know. I find this a very strange decision as Kerry have no game for a while. From Waterville's point of view its great though cos we play Strand Road this weekend without David Moran and BJK.

Unless Kerry are having a training weekend, which is very possible, this is a strange decision. The county players will be playing in two weekends in the county championship anyway - why not let them play league football this weekend? Its difficult on the smaller clubs especially - the availability of one inter county player could be the difference between promotion and relegation.

This is a ridiculous decision; with the county championships only 2 weeks away it was the final opportunity for a lot of clubs to play their probable line ups- this has been denied to clubs with still over 5 weeks to Munster opener. It's difficult for all clubs , both big & small. Panels are diminishing due to emigration added to by exams this time of year- take out the county players, guys playing hurling tomorrow and your team is suddenly not much more than a second string- county board only interested in having games played on time, not the players! Sure what's new??

Crokes gave Rahillys' some hammering last night, without the county players too.. Surprise result in Rathmore too as they are well and truly in a relegation battle now, beating Bally/Filmore would have at least dragged another team into it

Strange/inconsistent form, performances and results across both the county league and county championship in recent weeks might suggest a lack of quality and strength in-debt across football in the county at the moment.

Surprise result in Rathmore too as they are well and truly in a relegation battle now, beating Bally/Filmore would have at least dragged another team into it Rahillys have been decimated by loss of players to US; only 4 of those who played against South Kerry started and of those Martin Tierney had to be replaced after 5 mins with an injury; there are 9 members of the panel in America, a couple injured plus David Moran & Barry John Keane who are on county duty; add Cormac Coffey to that ( on minor duty) and result isn't so surprising. Must be the same for a lot of other clubs.

Crokes were missing a good few too . It shows their strength in depth right now . It gave a chance for some of the Subs to play and some of the younger lads too .

Agree but still a lot of familiar names there though! Payne, Moloney, Ward, Doolan, O'Sullivan, Brosnan, Looney, Milner, Kennelly, Jamie Doolan, - as you say , it's shows the strength in depth- as for Rahillys fulfilling the fixture was an achievement in itself.

Agreed, I appreciate that some players may have gone but Rahillys have loads of players coming through each year from u16's and Minors and are not used yet clubs such as Currow Bally and Waterville have to put players who have come out of their u16 team straight in to the senior team as it is their only option

O' Rahilly's , Stacks , Crokes , Legion , Dingle , Listowel , Laune Rangers should never have a problem putting a team together . They are all big clubs . Valentia , Asdee , Renard , Lispole . I give clubs like that credit for getting a team with so many players emigrating .

Maybe it's an an exaggeration to say that fulfilling the fixture was an achievement but when you see 4 minors starting, only one of whom had played senior level before plus another 3 on the bench, John O'Connor & Timmy O'Sullivan coming out of retirement it does give you an idea as to how depleted they are- maybe with the Leaving Cert ending there will be a few more players available- don't know for sure- Rahillys have been fielding a B & C teams in the county leagues but not many of these players would be up to Division 1 level.

Jesus isn't it great for a club to be able to pluck 7 minors out of the blue and be able to put them onto the senior squad, id love if my own club would have that amount of players waiting in the wings

Emmets 3-10 KOR 1-10 this evening. Decent game. Listowel much the hungrier side. 2 goals either side of half-time put them in the driving seat and the Narries never looked like pullung it back. H.T. Emmets 2-7 KOR 1-7.

rathmore are in serious danger of going down after defeats in last 2 games. being without 3 county players [ 2 senior , 1 minor] having huge impact on them. [ same for an gaeltach in div 3] play off maybe the best they can hope for. would be poor return for team that beat crokes in county championship

rathmores problem is that they lost a 4 pointer to team who were missing no player inter county teams in finuge, that the price of having county players.

ah lads would ye leave it out ffs.
Both clubs can field teams to fulfil their fixtures can't they? Their both senior clubs, so lets face it they don't (or at least shouldn't) rely on their intercounty players as much.
What about Cromane and Donnacha? Killian and Renard? Ye don't have it so bad at all. Reminds me of all the crying Crokes did last summer because a few lads went away for the summer!! Now it's Tousist who can't field a team!

Gooch was not involved.
Fionn Fitzgerald played the full game. Micheál Burns was the best player on the pitch until he got a black card after about 20 minutes.
Burns was replaced by Kieran O'Leary, and Johnny Buckley came on early in the 2nd half.
Ronan O'Connor scored the late point which gave Bally/Foilmore a deserved draw and secures their place in DIvision 1 for another year.
And before anyone asks, it wasn't fixed! The only time either team stopped playing was 2 and a half minutes in to injury time when the home team handpassed it around the midde of the pitch for the last 30 seconds. Which is just common sense, given the circumstances.

Given the serious injuries he's had and the need to ensure full and proper recovery, I'd imagine it will be well in 2015 before Colm Cooper plays a match again.

Looking at the remaining fixtres one would have to conclude that relegation is now a done deal when you look at the remaining fixtures. Currow. Listowel and Rathmore Drop to Div 2
