How were Tousist in the Junior championship? There game against Glenbeigh was a total mismatch, they would struggle in the Novice.

impressive wins for dromid v na gaeil and templenoe v st pats. would make a cracking final . templenoe have great young footballers coming through, but lack a big bruiser of a midfielder, struggled in novice final v listry until kennedy got injured. great to see cian hallissey getting an injury free run as he was a superb underage player.

Big wins for Glenbeigh/Glencar & Duagh, Dromid should come through in the replay and Brosna to make up the semifinal pairings for me.

Am I the only person that thinks it's a disgrace that so many teams are gone from club championship already? I mean fellas are bursting their balls training since January 1st and then come last weekend in April, football over for the year. I'm of the belief that the entire structure of Kerry club football needs to be changed, think we could look at ours neighbours in Cork, they play County league in February til May with or without County players and have back door in all their championships. Think we could do with a reduction in of teams in County league from 12 to 10 for a start thus introducing a dreaded Divison 6. Creating a back door in the club championships, we're very slow to move things in Kerry. At the end of the day, the club players are what drives football in the Country, and it is my opinion that the County board are trying everything not to help smaller clubs with asperations in this County. It's no wonder fellas are becoming disillusioned with the game. I'm just throwing it out there as a man who is concerned about the state of Kerry football at present.

It's no wonder fellas are becoming disillusioned with the game. I'm just throwing it out there as a man who is concerned about the state of Kerry football at present. ah here now - football is not over for the year for anyone. that's just being a drama queen. The county league is a serious competition and will be ongoing. Maybe a few of them teams defeated in the early rounds of the junior\inter\novice might row in behind their divisional team in the senior county championship so that a few lads actually train for their division before the senior starts and at the end of the year their is the district board championships. I accept that is too early to be out of your club championship and a backdoor is a good idea as is your suggestion to amend the co league to allow for it. The real reason for having the junior\intermediate so early is to clear the way for divisional teams in the county senior championship. The more I think of it the more I think the divisional teams should be scrapped. Many of them scarcely train for the county championship and a match involving two divisional teams brings about at much atmosphere as a Kilkenny football championship game. They also mean that the junior and inter championship club teams are out of their club championship too early. I don't see what value the divisions have anymore. Before the inter\junior competitions were not as prestigious and hadn't profile. Now thet have and this together with social media means these games are covered and good players will be seen. The underage development panels pick up on lads from the small clubs anyway. These were not present in the era of advent of divisional teams.

He d give them a bit of power and physique. didn't realise templenoe were in an intermediate final back then.

The biggest issue for club football is the lack of games during the summer months when pitch's are at their best and weather is supporter friendly.

I know the county league is a decent competition aswell (thankfully) but the club championships have a real bite about them and with the carrot of Munster glory and Croker there aswell now are as fiercely contested as ever. I don't think 1 or 2 weekends extra is going to change anything really, so would agree that a back door should be brought in for the championships. I think it would work well. Don't agree with those heaping abuse on the divisions either. Far harder for divisional teams to prepare plus the fact that most of the divisions that were strong in the last 10-20 years have been weakend a lot by clubs going on their own. There is an argument to be made for more stringent criteria for allowing a club to go Senior rather than stay with a divisional team, as the county senior championship has definitely dipped in quality over recent seasons. I understand that clubs want to play senior on their own, but there is a greater good to be served here also. Lower standards in the Premier competition in the county, does not help anyone.

Yeah it's a contradiction if you think that for example Glenbeigh should have to play a losers round of the Junior championship without Darren and Pa because it's fixed for the weekend before a Kerry game!! We don't need more fixtures on the calendar, and we certainly don't need more championships with back doors! Plus ye are completely undermining the county league and also forgetting about the county championship by suggesting it's all about the club championships.

Then don't play the games 1 week before a Kerry game? There are 18 weekends in May, June, July, August this year. Kerry are playing on 3-5 of them...and 2 weeks before games in the Munster championship at least, should not be a problem for anyone. "Undermining the county league"? No, just making the championships a better and fairer competition and more akin to what the County Senior championship, All Ireland championship..pretty much any decent championship structure is like these days. The County league is a decent competition as I've said, but the last round or 2 can get a bit farcical in some divisions as we all know. In my view having just 1 or 2 extra rounds of championships, will not unduly clutter the fixture calendar, will improve players by giving them more championship football and possibly lead to less clubs/players losing interest a bit early in the year after being knocked out in the 1st round of Junior/Intermediate. As someone said already, players are putting in too much effort now even at club level to be told in May or even April that they have no more county championship football for the year. 8 first round losing teams playing off (4 games) and maybe the winners of those playing off for 2 spots to get back into championship proper (2 games) is not a huge amount of extra games added to calendar and could easily be accomodated during the periods of the summer that currently see little activity.

And do you think that this is something that would benefit our ailing county championship? Because I'm sure district managers would be far from keen about your suggestion.

Not realistic or necessary...really? Pray tell, why not? I'm afraid it's you, not me who must be unaware of the Senior championship. Here's a brief timeline of last years comp - June 8th/9th: All 1st round games. 10 winners go into round 3 draw (don't play for 5 weeks 13/14 July) June 15/16 - 5 backdoor games. 5 losers OUT of championship. July 13/14 - Round 3 games. September 21 - 1/4 finals. September 28/29 - 2 1/4 finals. October 6th - Semi finals. October 20th - Final. So in summary, 4 teams with no Senior Championship from June 15th onwards, 11 teams in total out by July 14th. Are you happy that a lot of footballers (up to 50% of Senior c'ship players) have no championship football to play from the middle of the summer until the end of the season? Like I said before, 18 weekends available May to August, take say 5 out for Kerry games, 3 out for rounds of Senior county c'ship, take 5 weekends before Kerry games out. Still leaves you with 5 weekends. 1 round of Novice/Junior/Inter c'ship will be played already in April, so you could easily use 2 of those 5 weekends for an extra backdoor round in those competitions and only half the teams will be involved. As for District managers, I would say they are getting shafted with zero preparation time for teams in the current system, with this they would be no worse off. Some players will be playing competitive games in the proposed back door rounds, those who win the 1st round will have 2 extra weeks with the division or club to train. There are a good few free weekends in March/April also of course. Would it not make sense to play a round of Senior c'ship earlier to possibly avoid the 10 week gap in the competition as there usually is? Disagree all you want, but don't tell me it's not possible, it is..and in my view would only improve players and standards of competition.

The fixture list for the co league's are spread out over the year starting in March and finishing in October, in between the league you have your district board leagues & championships, you also have your club championships as well as your senior championship. All teams that play in the Novice,Junior & Intermediate bar maybe one or two play with a district team for the senior Championship, the better players will feature for both club and district (certainly no lack of games there). If you are beaten in the 1st round of the club championship you have the shield to play in. On top of all this the county board purposely play less games in the summer to accommodate young players that travel abroad, most teams are effected by this. If a back door was introduced it would only complicate an already congested fixture list. At the end of the day championship should be knock out, you loose your out end of story.

Disagree all you want, but don't tell me it's not possible, it is..and in my view would only improve players and standards of competition. With all the problems in the game already, and you pick the need for more fixtures and further watering down of the concept of championship football. And you haven't thought about other competitions, or even the senior county championship. You can't ask players to do more then they are already doing. Your idea is far too simplistic, presumes that an extra round of games doesn't mean extra training with club; district managers do not get an extra 2 weeks as you suggest because your neither adding 2 weeks to the year, nor freeing up 2weeks already there. Club teams getting knocked out of a championship is not some travesty, it's happened for decades, and it doesn't compare to intercounty because club teams have county league and district championships as their 2nd chance, whilst many players also have county senior and u21 as a further 2nd chance. No need to congest an already congested fixture list. That's my last word on it, good luck.

Disagree all you want, but don't tell me it's not possible, it is..and in my view would only improve players and standards of competition. With all the problems in the game already, and you pick the need for more fixtures and further watering down of the concept of championship football. And you haven't thought about other competitions, or even the senior county championship. You can't ask players to do more then they are already doing. Your idea is far too simplistic, presumes that an extra round of games doesn't mean extra training with club; district managers do not get an extra 2 weeks as you suggest because your neither adding 2 weeks to the year, nor freeing up 2weeks already there. Club teams getting knocked out of a championship is not some travesty, it's happened for decades, and it doesn't compare to intercounty because club teams have county league and district championships as their 2nd chance, whilst many players also have county senior and u21 as a further 2nd chance. No need to congest an already congested fixture list. That's my last word on it, good luck. You said it wasn't realistic, I showed it was and you come back with more of the same.."watering down championship football".. For 3 months of the summer some players hardly play a game..what bloody fixture congestion are you on about? Did you actually read my post? There was a 10 week gap in the senior championship last year! No point arguing further obviously.

Lets get back to the original post "Junior Championship" and who will do what, this should be a discussion on who can win it and what happens going further into the Munster & all Ireland series. Why are we talking about what happens to teams that are knocked out?
