I noticed Conor Cox was selected at midfield for the game against Rathmore this weekend,Madness! No wonder Listowel were struggling for scores, Noel Kennelly is still togging out for Listowel aswell some going for a lad of about 45! Cox didn't feature at all at the w/e, though he was on the programme at midfield alright. Kennelly is about 34 I'd say.

Past Listowel pitch this evening, did not appear to be many training! With Cox meant to be injured and a few others also missing for the Rathmore game you would have fancy Finuge. Any betting on the games this weekend?

There's a first time for everything !! I'll take from that you don't actually have the facts so just as i suspected! Does anyone actually know why this desmonds ballydonoghue game isn't on in castleisland? I see castleisland ladies playing all Ireland semi final on Sunday in castleisland, fair play to Desmond's for giving up home advantage to accommodate the ladies !!! Or maybe it's all the North kerry bords fault again !!!

The North Kerry Championship appears to be a bit of a joke this year with very few teams interested. By the way Desmonds gave up home advantage because they wanted a change of date to accommodate a players stag, nothing to do with the ladies

Sorry my mistake I was just going by how long ago it was since Noel played for Kerry, it's actually 2002 since Noel played for Kerry and he was only playing since '98!

The North Kerry Championship appears to be a bit of a joke this year with very few teams interested. By the way Desmonds gave up home advantage because they wanted a change of date to accommodate a players stag, nothing to do with the ladies Thanks keepitsimple. Strange that they were made give up home advantage all the same, it's not like they're holding up the competition!! It always appears to be a joke until it gets going but it's very hard to beat the entertainment value when you've so many unknowns. I for one am looking forward to this weekend!!! Brosna look to be the dark horses, they'll be playing in munster championship well into december at the rate they're going. Desmonds and the winners of listowel/finuge will be there or there a bouts too. Can't see anyone else challenging.

finuge Listowel draw 1-6 a piece... Sad game, Sean McCarthy stand out player for Listowel, Kenneth kelliher very good corner back second half.. Cox well marked by Tweeky griffin.. for finuge, James flaherty was good in first half but kelliher got the better of him in the second, fergus Fitzmaurice best finuge player, Listowel gk was caught bad for the goal.. Both teams miles off championship winning standard on today's showing.. Poor refereeing display also but what's new

Listowel 1-6 Finuge 1-6 HT Listowel 1-3 0-2
For most of the first half and for about half of the second half it looked as if Listowel would meander their way to victory, pulling up. It wasn't that they were ever totally out of sight but rather Finuge seemed to have nothing to offer up front apart from James Flaherty. James indeed was a big threat initially scoring a point and earning two frees but as the game progressed his area became as crowded as Trafalgar Square, a situation which does not suit a player with his array of skills. Listowel were on top at midfield where both Sean McCarthy and Michael Lynch impressed. Ger McCarthy and Cormac Mulvihill were energetic wing backs and Jack McGuire was impregnable at full back. Noel Kennelly wandered far and wide with success an when Conor Cox knocked down the ball to Jamie Barry to goal it appeared that the goose was in the oven, at least.
Little changed for a while in the second half but a couple of things were noticeable. Listowel were not scoring and therefore were not pulling away and also Finuge were getting far more possession. The Corridan brothers, Pat at CHB and Maurice at midfield, were starting to dominate their positions. Maurice was tireless and relentless. In view of the foregoing, it was ironic that those boys, for a while, looked as if they might be villains because of erratic free taking from both. But they refused to lie down. They continued to give every ounce, especially Maurice, and thereby spur their team on. During that admirable comeback they had a lot of willing helpers but none more so than Fergus Fitzmaurice.He was a worrying adversary for Brendan Guiney all through and it was he who latched on to a quick free from Maurice Corridan to lash to the net. The goose was removed from the oven at this stage as the momentum was completely with Finuge who now had reduced the deficit to one. Then Conor Cox, subdued for most of the game, swung over a great point which looked to be the clincher. However, the Corridan and boys and Fergus Fitzmaurice, he scored 1-3 in all, were not ready to cross the bridge for home yet and deservedly and, indeed inevitably, got the last two scores to give us another day out.
Apart from the refuse to bend attitude of Finuge in the second half, I felt Listowel got a bit casual, dare I say a bit arrogant. They also got a bit ill disciplined, even though shoddy free taking by Finuge meant they did not pay the full price.
Paul Galvin and Brian McGuire did not put in an appearance. The pitch was in good condition.
Well worth the fiver.

Disappointing weekend in the North Kerry, neither of the three games produced any sort of intensity & passion that is normally associated with this competition. I believe there is a huge lack of interest by most clubs which I believe is a result of a lack of respect showed by the board towards the players involved in recent years, e.g St Stephens Day Final, games over the Xmas period, poor match officials etc! Today was yet another example, when it was announced at Half Time that Desmonds V Ballydonoghue would be played next weekend with Extra Time, yet the Listowel & Finuge game today finished a draw with no extra time! Appears to be make up the rules as we go along is the motto! Beale got over the line against Assde and were never in danger of being beaten, despite some poor refereeing decisions. They now progress to meet Knocknagoshel next weekend, where an improvement will be needed, however you would expect Beale to advance. Ballylongford were no match for Senens, not that Senens were impressive, it clearly shows the lack of interest by Ballylongford. Once a major force in North Kerry who produced excellent players who wore the green & gold, it is a real pity to witness the perfomance of yesterday. Give Senens credit, they defeated what was infront of them and with some ease, but expect a much tougher task against Brosna next day out. Finuge and Listowel produced another dire affair, no passion, no atmosphere, majority in attendance appeared to be neutrals. Listowel appeared to be more up for it & more organised, Finuge were going through the motions and looked like a team who hadnt been training with a football in quite a awhile! The quality of football was more like two junior teams! The week will surely benefit Finuge more if they can get it together during the week, they had plenty of the ball today but couldnt get the scores and with the exception of Flaherty in attack they had little or no threat! They defended well, and Tweek Griffin certainly had the measure of Cox. All depends on how serious Finuge take the replay, if they get it together and the inclusion of Galvin, they should fancy their chances next day out!

Games fixtures for this W/End Saturday 22nd in Ballylongford @ 14.30 1st rd replay Listowel Emmets v Finuge extra time if needed Sunday 23 rd in Castleisland @13.30. 1rd game Desmond's v Ballydonoughue extra time if needed Sunday 23rd in Castleisland. @ 14.45. 1/4 final. Beale v Knocknagosel
Can anybody answer the question how come there is extra time for Desmond's v Ballydonoughue game but last Sundays drawn game in Listowel goes to a replay also how come Finuge don't have home advantage for replay as drawn game was played in Listowel North Kerry Bord seem to make /change decisions / rules as they go along, same situation happened last year when Brosna drew with Tarbert in a first rd game in Listowel when clearly the rules stated at the time that there was to be extra time in event of a 1st round drawn game No wonder some teams have no respect for this fine championship when we see a complete lack of organisation from officials of NKB who seem to bend the rules at every corner maybe to line their pockets with more money from replays. Shame on ye. The chances of this championship being finished before Christmas looks very unlikely now. It's not fair to expect players to play on Stephens Day or later over the Christmas period. Players involved in the latter stages of NKC'ship get very little time off as the NK Leagues start back in Feburary Player burn out my A***

But you shouldn't claim that the members of the NKB are actually personally pocketing money unless you are 100% sure --- as in that it has been proved in a court of law.

Being reading many subjects on this forum for a while now and only got rd to signing up now. Sorry to contradict you but I can't see where river feale said that it was personal. I see it as saying the NK board change the rules in order to line the pockets of the board ( as an organisation). This can be compared to accusations of the gaa nationally with too much emphasis on money.

Saturday 22nd - Finuge V Listowel (1st Round Replay) Hard to call this replay on Saturday afternoon, one can only hope on an improvement from last weekend. I feel Finuge will have to be the more confident team heading into this weekend, how they managed to get a replay from last weekends performance must be a sign of weakness in the Listowel team. How Listowel failed to kick on early in the second half could well come back to haunt them. If Paul Galvin returns and one or two others positional changes to strengthen there attack you would have to fancy them. I believe they will have the measure of the Listowel attack, and despite all of the Listowel possession last weekend, Finuge certainly created the more chances, interesting game ahead, any opinions on how matters will fair out? Sunday 23rd - Desmonds V Ballydonoghue (1st Round) First of a double header on Sunday, if this game was being played anywhere else I would give Ballydonoghue some hope of an upset, however with Desmonds at home you would have to imagine they will take it seriously & if so I would expect them to prevail with some ease. Will likely to be a Thomas Hickey V Paul Kennelly shoot out, with the Ballydonoghue defence set for a long afternoon. Desmonds by 5-7 points, any predictions? Beale V Knocknagoshel (Quarter Final) I would have fancied Beale to advance to the semi final with some ease when the draw was first made, and despite they not shooting out the lights last weekend against Assde, I believe they will get it together to defeat Knocknagoshel on Sunday. I expect this to be a lot tighter than others might imagine, however I will go with Beale by 2-4 points in the end. Any predictions?

I don't think they had a minor team this year either. 4000 people. A taskforce is needed. Was talking to one of the Lixnaw players before the Bruff game and the NK championship was of no significance at that time. Listowel should be beating Finuge handily given Lixnaws preoccupation with hurling in 2014.

As far as I know they beat the eventual winners of their county league and were unlucky not to get a semi final place, the lost the final of the North Kerry league and lost the semi of the nkc... Last years minor team made 3 finals! Their under 16s won the nkc, lost the league final and made the semi of the county division 1! The under 16s have two certain Kerry minors in Bryan Sweeney and Niall collins! Remember these names for the future especially sweeney!
