The tie of the round looks to be O'Rahilly's v Legion. Both sides played off what could have been a phoney war in the league last Saturday evening the game finishing 1-7 apiece with Legion supposedly setting out an ultra defensive game plan.
Anyone know if JOD will be back for this? He had said he hoped to be playing for Kerry if we managed to got to a league semi-final.
Ardfert v Laune Rangers, could be tough to call, Ardfert are suffering a bit of an All-Ireland club hangover, but home advantage might pull them over the line.
You'd have to heavily fancy Crokes v St Micheals/Foilmore who got an awful hammering of Strand Road only a couple of weeks ago.
Expect, Rathmore v Milltown to be a tough encounter. Even without any marquee players, Milltown have been a hard nut to crack for any side over the last year.

Rahillys vs Legion looks the tie of the round particularly after last week's draw between the sides; this was a frustrating game to watch with many poor passages of play; Legion's defensive set up and counter attacking proved difficult for Strand Rd who did not help themselves with some poor shooting especially in the 2nd half when they monopolised possession; at times Legion had 12/13 behind the ball with Conor Keane often being their only attacking outlet. The ref did not help either as he was overly fussy and his insistence on issuing lectures to players after a foul prevented any flow to the game. Strangely he has been appointed to referee the game again on Sat which I am sure will not go down well in Strand Rd; interestingly he also refereed their encounter in Direen last year when the sides met in the club championship. I was told that these were the only games he officiated in for a Rahillys in the past 12 months in league or championship.

And What about it? Teams play plenty of games where they have issues with the ref from previous games. I'm sure Strand Rd will be cute enough this weekend in knowing what the ref will and won't allow.

Went to watch the KOR v Legion game with the latter winning by a point with more or less the last kick of the game. Rahilleys had a good first half but ran out of gas in the end with Legion coming back from 5 points down in the second half. Jack Savage got some superb scores for KOR and BJK got a belter of a goal and scored a few nice points aswell.
For Legion Conor Keane looked dangerous and got some great scores and Jameso looked very good when he came on but naivety of the KOR sideline to leave both of them 1 on 1 inside in a full forward line was astounding. I can only describe it as refreshingly idiotic.

Kept slipping, got pulled for picking off the ground a few times aswell but there is still a player in there. I will say though that every time in the first half that the ball was kicked into him- he was more or less getting violated by his marker but didnt get the frees for much the same reason that Donaghy doesnt with Kerry- the refs give feckall frees to the 'big man'.

Conor Keane scored a goal in the second half and that was it by my reckoning; JOD was the difference and scored 0-5, without him they would not have won. Legion played their wing forward in defence which left Rahillys No 3 ( Danny O'Sullivan) as a sweeper- he played in front of JOD and often double teamed him when play was in that part of the pitch- there were 3 dispossessions by him and James' marker, Cormac Coffey. Rahillys could and should have scored more in the first half when they completely dominated in the middle- 0-9 to 0-5 at half time did not reflect their superiority. The last 5 mins were hectic with referee denying Tonmmy Walsh a free when it looked like he was fouled following a great catch- the last Legion "point" was well wide from my vantage point.

I thought the last 2 Legion points were questionable and BJK had a very questionable one in the first half. They brought back the no.3 after Legion had gotten the goal and brought themselves back into it- proactive is better than reactive in almost all instances. Keane got the winning point and won 2/3 frees and I thought he did very well. I agree that KOR should have scored more in the 1st half and did completely dominate for a period but Legion were on top at midfield for parts of the second half. The KOR backs are poor, no other way of saying it.

Disaster of a second half from a KOR point of view. All of our Kerry Seniors went missing after an impressive first half, it was wave after wave of attack by Legion. Both Keane and James O D were impressive. It was also madness of Barry O Shea to leave an 18 year in 1-1 on the best forward in the country for 20 mins. James was difference in this game.
Tommy Walsh has been poor by all accounts by the game against a poor Fingue side. Saying that he couldnt get a break off the ref who wasnt as bad as he was last week but didnt leave the game flow tonight either.
A touch of class and bit of luck by the Legion forwards won the game tonight along with naiveity from the Strand rd management allow any help for their full back line until it was too late. One of the Legion points that was given that was kicked towards the clubhouse in the last 10 mins, it was an awful call by the umpire.

I thought BJK did well in patches in the second half but Legion were very much on top in midfield so it was tough for him. David Moran's performance contrasted greatly over the 2 halfs- absolutely lorded it in the first and was well beaten in the second. I thought Savage got 2 monster points for KOR and looked good while Con Barrett did look well in patches but ran out of gas in a big way.

Yeah that's it really David wasnt great in the second half and we got cleaned out. Didnt pick up many breaks and it was ball after ball into the Legion front 2 and there was no cover bar the man on man coverage. Forwards didnt get much ball in the second half and thats why BJK and Savage didnt have much of a chance. I think bar our county/u21 players, we are very limited when push comes to shove, depend on them too much IMO.

I have seen KOR a few times and they have a 5/6 top class players and the others seem to be quite limited.

It may be harsh but alot of fellas not carrying their wait at the minute. It's early days yet hopefully now as fellas finish up college and are around more Joe O Connor will be able to get a hold of them and improve fitness levels and work rates.

Legions last score from conor keane was definitely over and this is coming from a neutral was right behind it. Cant judge the ones from the stand side as was at other side of the field. Great game to watch all the same. Both sides gave it everything, take a good side to stop legion with the two boys inside. Jamie sullivan big addition to them in the middle, well able to field ball and also well able to play. With the players rahillys have back now few more games together and not many sides will fancy them in county championship. Con barrett big addition around the middle. Need to tighten up at the back do. As other posters have said very naive to leave 1-1 inside. Was always going to come back and haunt them.

Rahillys lost this on the sideline without a shadow of a doubt, when they went 5 up with less than 15 left they should have flooded defence and shut up shop. Any management setup should have realised this. I was surprised with the poor level of rahiilys fitness considering Joe o Connor is involved with them. Legion looked much fitter and James o donoghue is just a joy to watch. Conor Keane was kept quiet by Cormac Coffey in the first half, he did much better in the second half when Coffey took up James, however I'm not sure if he has something to offer the kerry setup just yet. Moran in top gear is unbeatable but he drifts in and out of the game and struggles to dominate when most needed, especially today. Bjk was impressive and scored a fantastic goal. Tommys decision making is poor he takes the wrong option far too often, his kicking is erratic but with a few more games under his belt he will be a great option for Kerry. He wouldn't start if I was Eamon Fitz. Jonathan Lyne was impressive especially in the second half with the exception of an ambitious outside of the boot attempt. Kieran Slattery is a tenacious little fellow who had a big impact on the game when introduced. Legion with a full team will put it up to the top teams in the county again this year, as for Rahillys I am shocked previous posters believe they have a realistic chance for Co. championship. Their defence is poor at best, the Crokes junior forwards would have a field day against them not to mind the seniors!!

Yes Jamie Sullivan got a foothold on the game in final 15 minutes when he was really needed, Moran failed to impose himself. Tommy, who had come deep to retrieve possession which KOR forwards were starved of, failed to hold onto the leather on more occasion than one......he must have fumbled kick outs twice if not 3times at crucial stages of the games!

In defence of Barry O'Shea I believe that he did not have too many options in putting Cormac on James O'D; who else would have had the pace to stay with him from the other 5 defenders? Cormac is one of the paciest there is and with Danny O'Sullivan as an extra defender in front of him I think that there was not much else could be done- James scored 4 points, was dispossessed 2/3times but after all he is the player of the year from 2014! Another post mentioned "shutting up shop" when 5 up with 15 mins left to play- I have seen Rahillys a few times this year and they do not set up defensively/ no sweeper; you simply cannot do this because you are ahead- forwards retreating into defence are more likely to cause you a problem if they have no experience of doing this- the reason you were 5 ahead was due to playing open/expansive football. It was a cracking game and one of fine margins- Legion's opening score was from a free called by the ref when play was 30/35 yards away, Jack Savage was taken out of the game in the final minutes in full view of the ref- when the crowd roared at him , I heard him say clearly " He was out of the play when tackled" - Tommy I also thought was fouled when in possession in the dying seconds- no free, Legion's winning (?) point came from this. There will always be decisions for/against in tight games like this; one final point- I walked across the pitch at the end and was surprised by the strength of the wind- Rahillys scored 0-9 when wind assisted, Legion 1-9 , to me tells its own story.

He was clearly taken out with an off the ball tackle that was very late and stopped his run. I thought it was a free/black card to be honest

Of course they got into that position by playing expansive football, however to say that they do not set up defensively does not cut it and they will not progress too far in county championship without being able to adapt to different scenarios. Most clubs now competing for county, provincial and all Ireland success train hard to adapt to different set ups and what the opposition bring to the table. Tactical and video analysis is arguably as prominent in training now as physical. One would think that Barry o Shea should have visualised what he would do if he was placed in this situation. Yes Danny Sullivan played in front of James but there certainly was more that management could have done, they could have played a blanket line in front of the full back line, leaving a link player on the 45 with 2 inside. On the point regarding Savage being fouled it was a scandalous decision not to award a free.

In tight games the ref's decisions will always be crucial. We all moan and vent at refereeing calls in a game and with the complexity of the rules one must have huge sympathy for the man the middle. For me what is unforgivable in a ref is lack of consistency. Interpretation is just that but consistency has to apply and when's ref is inconsistent the he should not ref at all.

Danny Sullivan dropped back after legion had cut the 5 point lead down to one. It was reactive move- the horse has bolted etc as their wind assisted lead had been wiped out in about 6 mins

It depends on the offence- if a ref is consistent in not giving black cards where 1 is after 6 minutes and 1 is after 45 then it would have a big impact on the game. And you have a perfect example from the game last night- where a Legion player should have black carded after about 6 mins but got a yellow instead. Begley from KOR should have been black carded after about 45. Although the ref was consistent in his mistakes- Rahilleys probably lost out from this

Match report of Kerins O'Rahilly's v Legion here. Photos of O'Donoghue back in action in the article traleetoday.ie/photos-odonoghues-legion-knock-orahillys-out-of-club-championship/Kerins O’Rahilly’s 1-13 Killarney Legion 1-14 AN injury time winner by Killarney Legion substitute Chris Davies, sent Kerins O’Rahilly’s out of the club championship in the first round for the second year in a row. A Legion side playing with the breeze in Strand Road for the second half outscored O’Rahilly’s by seven points to one in the final quarter. Legion were geed up by the return to competitive football of James O’Donoghue who scored four points after being introduced at the start of the second half. In the second half, when Jack Savage added a point straight after a superb goal by Barry John Keane, the Blues were five points ahead and looked like they would push on, but Legion battled hard and were worth their victory. After a cagey start to the game, with Kerins O’Rahilly’s winning the toss and electing to play with a stiff breeze, it took, seven minutes before the first score was registered – a point coming from the boot of Jack Savage. On a few occasions, Strand Road, attempted to play it long to Tommy Walsh in full forward, but it wasn’t sticking. Walsh did however come into the game more as the game wore on, linking up well to set up scores for Barry John Keane and Jack Savage and tagging on three of his own. After some tit for tat scoring the game was poised 0-4 to 0-2 after 20 minutes. A big moment came in the 18th minute, when Cormac Coffey missed a gilt-edged goal chance. The Kerry u21, was one on one with Brian Kelly after making a blistering run, he coolly attempted to place the ball into the net with the outside of his boot, but it glanced wide. With such a strong wind advantage, O’Rahilly’s, really were not making it count. That was until five minutes to go in the half when they hit over three in a row, Tommy Walsh, Jack Savage and Barry John Keane the scorers. At the end of the first half, O’Rahilly’s sat on a four point lead, the scores, 0-9 to 0-5. Murmurs echoed around the ground when James O’Donoghue, who had been on runner duties, emerged with the tracksuit top off and headed straight for the goalmouth. The 2014 Player of the Year making his first competitive appearance since undergoing shoulder surgery at the end of last year. Unlike almost every inter-county team last year, the O’Rahilly’s management decided to go man to man on O’Donoghue. Cormac Coffey, was entrusted with marking O’Donoghue and it was Coffey who won the first battle between the pair, but it wasn’t long before O’Donoghue was at his destructive best. With the next ball, O’Donoghue charged at the blues defence and set up Conor Keane, who knocked in the first goal of the evening making it now a one point game. O’Rahilly’s answered back well with a point from Tommy Walsh. Then, with 40 minutes on the clock they struck for a goal. Starting off the move David Moran, linked up Barry John Keane with a beautiful ball down the right wing. Barry John Keane then turned inside, running passed the Legion defence, then smashing the ball to the net to send the home crowd into raptures. With the strong wind at this point being subdued to a puff, it seemed the Gods were smiling on Strand Road, but they let it slip. Lead by ‘JOD’, Legion bossed the final quarter of the match to claw them back into contention. With time almost up the Killarney side were two points down. It was two men who came off them bench that would be their saviours. Coming at the O’Rahilly’s defence in their droves, they forced an equalizer with 60 minutes on the clock, Kevin Slattery, the scorer. It seemed he would have the final word, but after some sloppy play coming out of defence by O’Rahilly’s, the ball fell for Chris Davies, who drove the ball over the bar from 30 yards, to sink the hearts of the Strand Road faithful. The result is a huge disappointment for Kerins O’Rahilly’s who, after the return of some top talent to the side and also boasting three senior and two U21 Kerry players, felt they had a real shot at winning this competition.

In tight games the ref's decisions will always be crucial. We all moan and vent at refereeing calls in a game and with the complexity of the rules one must have huge sympathy for the man the middle. For me what is unforgivable in a ref is lack of consistency. Interpretation is just that but consistency has to apply and when's ref is inconsistent the he should not ref at all. It depends on the offence- if a ref is consistent in not giving black cards where 1 is after 6 minutes and 1 is after 45 then it would have a big impact on the game. And you have a perfect example from the game last night- where a Legion player should have black carded after about 6 mins but got a yellow instead. Begley from KOR should have been black carded after about 45. Although the ref was consistent in his mistakes- Rahilleys probably lost out from this Black cards are another story and I agree can impact a game as you describe - I think some ref's don't carry them and have no idea of how to apply them even if they had them. The stats on referee's use of black cards would be very interesting. It wouldn't surprise me if there are some referees who have never issued one. I still think a consistent ref is the priority - there is nothing in sport like the feeling of being rolled over by inconsistent ref.
