Fantastic praise on League Sunday tonight from Henry Shefflin and Liam Sheedy no less. Said Kerry resurgence was great for hurling and dedicated quite a bit time talking about the win.
Judging by the reaction online as well, it seems it was the story of the weekend, if we can get a good crowd in Fitzgerald Stadium next week on the back of it we'll be laughing, Ciaran Carey and his young team deserve it.

Lovely hurling! Great victory. Could the Kerry hurling team become the Leicester City of Division 1B? They appear to be a very determined and focused team, including management. The Munster League, although victory-less, looks like it 'eased' the team into the cauldron of higher up hurling. The game v Limerick will be interesting as I'm sure Ciaran Carey & Mark Foley will be doing their almighty best to bate their native county. Methinks this Kerry hurling team isn't interested anymore in merely putting in a respectable performance. They want to win and win and win. Even if they lose, this attitude will make them winners to us. A big crowd of Kerry supporters v Limerick would be mighty and I'm sure that's what's be there. Up Kerry!

Meant 'Laois 2-24 Kerry 1-24' I've no issues with the report format etc but on a few of the sites i checked last night and this morning they had the score as above. Ie the wrong score. All seem to have rectified it now. I just saw the headlines last night on the rte site and it said Kerry had won. When I went into the article the score was listed as above

Lovely hurling! Great victory. Could the Kerry hurling team become the Leicester City of Division 1B? Ciaran Carey mentioned that last week, maybe we can start calling him Claudio Carey? Here's how they may match up. Kasper Schmeichel - Martin Stackpoole Riyad Mahrez - Shane Nolan Jamie Vardy - John Egan N'Golo Kanté - Darren Dineen Danny Drinkwater - Pa Kelly I've gone too far this time I think, but hopefully our lads can outfox Limerick on Sunday. Now I've gone too far.

Hi, where can we get tickets for the game against Limerick on Sunday. It's advertised that you can get them in participating super valu and centra, which ones? Super Valu Listowel did not have them last night, Thursday 18 Feb 2016.

Yes it's a strange one he hadn't been involved. He's actually their captain this year. They've won Div 1 of the league the last few years

Hopefully he will be called in to the panel now that's Carlow are out of the Fitzgibbon Cup. The traveling up and down from Carlow for training might not suit him. But hopefully he will get a call. He is a very talented hurler that's used of playing at the highest level with Carlow IT. Also on the subject of St.Brendans players, has Rory Horgan opted out of the panel this year?

Limerick and Clare will beat all the others in this Division i feel. The step up to playing Munster teams is too steep for Kerry at the moment. But the gap can be bridged in time.
Laois started three debutants v Kerry in defense and I think i read that they had had 5 of their championship side from 2015 v Kerry.
The game v Wexford is a very interesting one. Kerry should target that and the last game v Offaly for 6 points which would keep them up.
Having said all of that Limerick and Clare wont be taking Kerry lightly and Kerry should really enjoy these two games and really have a go. A win or a draw in either would be bonus territory.

Great second half display, was 12 point gap midway through first half.
Another 5 minutes and it would have been interesting, time just ran out. No reason this team can't beat offaly and give wexford a right battle based off the first two games.
Pity they didn't win but being realistic, performance exceeded expectations.

Nice bit of commentary for KY again on league Sunday, although the coverage looked like it was recorded on smart phone . Next challenge will be to get something from Wex or Off!

Great result. I was talking before the game to get within under 10 points would have been good. The weather played it's part for both teams but all and all a good day

Patrick Kelly is a Clare man who is wearing the Kerry jersey (of his mothers county) with pride. Nailed a cracker of a point with the last puck of the game. The wind assisted them in that second half, but still they had to win those 50/50 balls to keep up the pressure and they did most of the time. TJ Ryan said in the aftermath that Kerry dictated play which goes a long way in proving this Kerry side can hold their own with the best. I just felt the full-forward was left a bit isolated, when they did manage to get the ball to Mickey Boyle, he looked dangerous, the goal showed he was well able to feed off the scraps he got. John Egan was a class act with his four from play, him and Goulding were forced to come deep, it would have been nice to see them in a closer more often, especially with the share of possession in the second half the ball didnt stick half enough, though it forced Limerick to cough up some handy free's. Very hard to fault the side really and I wouldn't entertain anyone who came out of that unhappy with a loss. Wexford put it up to Clare yesterday so there could well be a sting in the tail there. But still, we're looking at a game now against a traditional heavy hitter that we stand a realistic chance of winning and not by ambush either, the word is well and truly out now.

There was a time when Kerry would have lost by 20+ points with a similar deficit at the short whistle. However I feel that this current crop of players has got something extra about it and the hidings will now be a rarity. We are more than capable of beating Wexford and Offaly and I think a win in either will see us stay up. TJ Ryan was fulsome in his praise of Kerry and had it not been for a poor period in the first-half the result could well have been different. Well done to everyone involved and roll on the Wexford match which I hope will be witnessed by a big crowd given that it is a double-header in Tralee.

What are the permutations if Kerry were to finish outside the top 4 in their group?

Fair play to the hurlers and management setup of the last few years. Much work has been put in to improve the level of this team and they are now seeing the results of their hard work. Competing with Limerick and being very competitive has proven to everyone that this team mean business. Delighted to see the hurlers get a bit of recognition for their effort. Long may it continue

There hasn't such interest and excitement around the hurlers since the early to mid 1990s
Back then Kerry beat Clare in the league when Clare were all Ireland champions, ran Kilkenny to 3 pts in Tralee and went down to Offaly by a pt or two above in Offaly. Offaly were a super team back then. Kerry had a very strong team back then with the likes of John Healy or JP Hickey in goals, Christy Walsh, Tony Mansell, Brendan Mahony, Mike Casey etc. There was also great representation from the South Kerry hurling board area with the likes of the Foleys from Kilgarvan, Seamus McIntyre RIP, Martin McKivergan Austin Stacks, Seanie Shea Crokes and Jerry Sullivan, Firies. All of these lads were fine hurlers. The lack of representations from these areas has to be examined as in the long run, Kerry wont sustain progress picking from 8 north Kerry clubs. The situation in div 2 of the co league is recent years is a farce and this is where the south Kerry clubs play. This must be sorted. There is plenty of juvenile hurling in these clubs so this is an encouraging aspect.
Back to the games - the game v Offaly is likely to be key. No reason why Kerry cant win that one if we can go up there with a full strength team. I d be worried about the depth in the squad if we picked up injuries

No reason why Kerry cant win that one if we can go up there with a full strength team. I d be worried about the depth in the squad if we picked up injuries Like i've said re South Kerry players. The best 4/5 players should be at the very least be training with the county team, this is the only way they will improve. Also the fact they're happy to play and win the Intermediate year in year out is helping no one. As i've said before 3 divisional could play in the SHC. Really theres no point in having a South Kerry team with players from outside of Kenmare and Kilgarvan because it wont work. Those two can be the South Kerry team, Crokes and St Pats Killarney and Stacks Daugh could be a third. Are any of them likely to win the championship? Probably not at first, but it will at least give players the chance to play at senior level and take the North Kerry teams out of their comfort zone
