must have been some game judging by the scoreline. st brendans and kilmoyley both in the semifinals, lixnaw and winners of causeway/ ballyduff should join them if they are kept apart in 1/4 draw

Better games at the weekend - well Causeway v Ballyduff was anyway and Lixnaw v Brendans. The other games were poor.
Ballyduff and St Brendans both moving well
Lixnaw must he happy enough. If they can get over Abbeydorney they will have Brendan Brosnan, John Buckley and who knows maybe Mike Conway back in the reckoning come the semi final. Pat Corridan had a whopper of a point Sat night and policed John Egan well. John Griffin very influential. I see Frank Thornton back involved with them as a selector. He masterminded their 1983 and 1985 championship successes
Ballyduff seem to have good options off the bench. Causeway will be bitterly disappointed. Championship campaign never got off the ground. For all their young players still very dependant on John Mike Dooley for goals to win games

I cannot see Stacks winning the intermediate. They seem to have a decent side alrite and a big panel. What will happen to them long run I wonder. Will all Parnells players play adult with Stacks or just Parnells players with a Stacks background? Cd there be two adult hurling teams in Tralee in a few years i.e. Stacks and Parnells? Stacks have a long tradition in hurling. They will be reluctant to wind down and run under the Parnells banner at adult level I imagine. Be interesting to see how that plays out over the next few years. Parnells were actually reformed by one of the current Stacks players. The idea is to have an adult team down the line, its not know if they will changed to Parnells or stay as Stacks or have two teams Abbeydorney had 3 players from Austin Stacks Feile Winning Football team on the Abbeydorney panel that won the hurling feile. With this and Stacks lads hurling with Parnells they might have a few players coming through. They haven't had a decent influx of young native Tralee players in years. Parnells players from other football clubs might not be that keen on hurling with Stacks? This could be a tricky down the line. I suspect Stacks would like to stay fielding their own adult team owing to the tradition of hurling in the club.

the intermediate draw was made this week. games to be played after 3 rounds of the senior championship. this will result in some n. kerry clubs minus over 20 players thereby lowering the standard considerably. why not just rule out the starting 15 of the last senior championship game in the previous year plus anyone who played christy ring hurling in the current year. its nonsense that a player can come on for a few minutes and be ruled out of playing intermediate. the intermediate should be run on the christy ring format as well the promotion of hurling in s. kerry is a joke, no team in senior championship, walkover given and recieved in co. league and they end up playing their own senior championship in bog holes in october I agree that a lot of the North Kerry teams will be a lot weaker without senior players the fact is a lot of them have been getting away with murder over the years with the amount of senior players being used. Some have even had lads who were on the Kerry panel playing. That said the same thing is happening in junior football and fro what? Just to win a title? Your idea of the team who played in a clubs last senior championship game would be the best way to fix it. It would have to be enforced and teams who brake made examples of by being thrown out of the championship for the following year. As for South Kerry it makes me cringe when i see a certain someone from them parts try to claim it as a ''unique hurling stronghold''. Its an absolute joke they have no team this year. Playing in the Intermediate again is going to be no help to them in the long run Yeah some of the grading by North Kerry clubs of players was a joke. I think the fairest way is to run the intermediate before the senior championship. The North Kerry clubs have to name 20 players who cant play intermediate championship. These 20 are the 15 players that started their last senior championship game the previous year plus 5 more. South Kerry clubs can then come together after the intermediate championship to play as a divisional side in the senior. The number of games played by the likes of Dr Crokes is shockingly low. I think they should enter NK competitons or Duhallow. Plenty of interest in hurling in Crokes even if football is king

Even though they have beaten Ballyduff and Lixnaw, Ardfert are not in a good position. Their next game is knock out and their best player Darren Dineen is suspended for that game.
At this remove, I expect a Lixnaw v Ballydiff final.
Its a pity they don't run off the remainer of the competition in August while the ground is hard. No reason for hurling finals in late Sept or October.

Kenmare, Kilgarvan Croke and even St Pats would be better off playing in Duhallow. I dont think they would commit to playing in NK nor would the NK teams fancy traveling to them. At the moment Stacks are playing in both North & South Kerry and are getting a lot of games maybe too many. I think they would be better to just playing senior in SK and intermediate in NK. What happened to Laune Rangers team? Would be great if they could get going again and bring hurling to another area of Kerry and would be an extra team in South Kerry.

No reason for hurling finals in late Sept or October. Yeah Darren Dineen could be a fatal loss to the Brendans bid for back to back championships. I think the clubs enjoy using the break between quarter finals and semi finals to fine tune preparations and improve skills. good training on good pitches. The trade off is you could end up with a heavy pitch come the final if the weather goes a certain way. Also I think the all Ireland B competitions for minors and 21s kick in over the next few weeks so the co board's hands could be tied

Kilgarvan had a very strong intermediate team 4 or 5 years back. They won a few games in the munster junior championship. At the time they also hurled in the Duhallow leagues and were up towards the top of the Duhallow league. The regular games at the time in Duhallow really served them well. Football seems to be a big problem for Kenmare when it comes to getting hurling fixtures played. Laune Rangers are now defunct hurling wise. They threw in their lot with St Pats when they folded and saved Pats from the same fate! Not an encouraging story!

At the time they were playing in Div 1 of the county league and doing well. At the time they should have moved up to senior to were happy to stay Intermediate and win it. Ballyduff would have the same problem but thats down to the county board fixing football and hurling games for the same weekend or sometimes even the same day! If im not mistaken Laune Rangers had an underage setup at one stage? I think i see St Pats had set up an underage? Teams like St Pats cant relay on players from other areas joining them anymore if they want players, they're going to have to invest some time at underage

At the time they were very good at intermediate level and were very ambitious in terms of trying to win the munster junior. Put in a big effort. Also Mikey and John Foley were veterans so senior championship may have been a step too far. Laune Rangers have had spells of juvenile hurling in the past but not for a long time now. St Pats trying to get juvenile hurling back on track in their club but it doesn't seem to be happening. Rathmore have decent under 12 and under 14 teams so maybe these lads will end up in St Pats colours down the line as Rathmore have no adult. Dr Crokes and Rathmore seem to be the juvenile hurling clubs in east Kerry now. Good hurlers in both clubs.

semi draw for the senior on Saturday.
Paul Galvin's return for Lixnaw v Abbeydorney has added interest and boosts Lixnaw's panel considerably. He did well v Abbeydorney and Lixnaw have Brendan Brosnan to come back as well. If Mike Conway was fit they d take some stopping!
Ballyduff look to be shaping up nicely as well. Young players like Daniel O'Carroll and Jack Goulding have added freshness to the team and the return of Giles O'Grady gives them an extra option. Great to see John Hennessy in charge of them as well. John has such family tradition in the competition and what games he played for Ballyduff himself as player.
St Brendans were shaping up so well before Darren Dineen's red card. Wonder is it a sucker punch for them?? And Kilmoyley - well who knows. Complete underdogs but they beat Causeway who were hotly fancied.

Be more talk about Paul Galvin then there will be about the games themselves and his role as "impact" sub,if the match from last weekend is anything to go by.
Semi Final draw was made today
Lixnaw V St Brendans's
Kilmoyley V Ballyduff
Its wide open.

So its semi final weekend,should be two good games,there is very little to choose between any of the four teams left in it each of them is well capable of winning the championship outright,
Ballyduff are fancied to beat Kilmoyley,they should but Kilmoyley will run them close,
Lixnaw and St Brendan's could go either way,could have a replay there I think.

Kilmoyley 0-13 Ballyduff 0-10

I didn't expect Kilmoyley to bear "Boyleduff".
A final between Ardfert and Kilmoyley would create a massive buzz in the locality

Kilmoyley will be a match for either Lixnaw or Ardfert,they had better first touch and better fitness then Ballyduff last night,took their scores well and played like a team throughout. Ballyduff have been disappointing this year,they were off the pace against Ardfert,showed signs of improvement against Causeway and did enough against Crotta but last night they never got going and they faded towards the end. The game started 15 minutes late last night as well due the crowd arriving late and also only have two turnstiles open,this happened earlier on in the championship and you would think once would be enough and that g was a first round game,surely the crowd was going to be bigger for last nights game so why not have all the turnstiles open,makes sense to me anyway. 13 euro in as well folks. Found his picture on Sylvester Hennessey's twitter page of the queue last night

Good win for the crokes last night. Struggled to field a team in the league due to players being unavailable due to college etc. And also a few long serving players retired. The winning of the match last night was the 3 or 4 young fellas who have come up through the underage ranks.

Only problem is we'll have to put up with rovingfullforward who im sure will come back out of hiding since the Crokes footballers went out of the championship

St Brendan’s, Ardfert 0-9 Lixnaw 0-9 Even the introduction of former Kerry football star Paul Galvin, failed to ignite this drab SHC semi-final as holders St Brendan’s, Ardfert, were forced to come from behind in the final quarter to force a replay with Lixnaw.
This game lacked the intensity of previous championship clashes between the sides.
Both defences were on top, with scores hard earned, as St Brendan’s led 0-4 to 0-2 after 20 minutes. John Egan was their scorer in chief, with 0-3, (0-2 frees), and a fine effort from Cian Hussey. James Flaherty was part of a two-man Lixnaw inside line, and he fired over a few beauties, but both sides lacked the killer instinct.
St Brendan’s led 0-6 to 0-4 at the interval, with Egan scoring 0-5. They had hit eight wides, however, and when Galvin entered the fray , momentum swung Lixnaw’s way.
Galvin, along with John Griffin, drove Lixnaw on. They added four unanswered points, including three Ricky Heffernan frees, and a superb effort from Galvin, to move 0-8 to 0-6 clear. But they also shot five wides, which ultimately cost them victory.
John Egan once again proved St Brendan’s saviour with three points, while Cillian Fitzmaurice got Lixnaw’s sole final-quarter point.
John Egan and Ricky Heffernan missed opportunities from frees to win it for their sides and so they will meet again.
Scorers for St Brendan’s, Ardfert: Egan 0-8 (0-4 frees), C Hussey 0-1
Lixnaw: R Heffernan 0-5 (0-4 frees), J Flaherty 0-2, C Fitzmaurice and P Galvin 0-1 each
ST BRENDAN’S, ARDFERT: D Delaney, C Flaherty, K Hannafin, F Horgan, K Orpen, D Dineen , E Corridan, R Horgan, S Leen, D Griffin, C Hussey, O McCarthy, P Kearney, N O’Sullivan, J Egan.
Subs: D MacKessy for O McCarthy (23), K Fitzgerald for P Kearney (47), S Griffin for D MacKessy (53), J Wallace for K Orpen (55)
LIXNAW: Martin Stackpoole, M Corridan , T McKenna, D Shanahan , J Silles, G Hogan , G Stackpoole, J Griffin, B Brosnan , M Quilter, K Roche , C O’Brien, C Fitzmaurice, R Heffernan, J Flaherty.
Subs: Paul Galvin for K Roche (h/t), J Buckley for C O Brien (28), Micheal Stackpoole for B Brosnan (48)
Referee: J Mullins (Limerick).
