Dingle must be still shell shocked this morning. 11 up at one stage, 7 points up going into injury time and they manage to lose in extra time. They are usually well able to close out a game so this makes their collapse all the more peculiar. Any reports from any witnesses? Seems the subs on and off had a big impact from the report on the website?

One of the strangest games I have ever seen, Dingle were dominant in all sectors up to the last 10 mins of normal time. How Dingle managed to loose this game is a mysterey, MidKerry pulled off one of the greatest escapes that houdini himself would be proud of. Going forward Midkerry looked poor and I dont see them getting passed the next round unless they can put in a performance for the whole hour.

I believe they will go along way in this championship.

South Kerry and stacks game was a cracker in terms of tension and excitement, even if the quality wasn't exceptional. Stacks looked to have done a lot of work on the kick outs and trying to run the south Kerry midfield. They probably got a little ahead of themselves in that department as they left Sheehan free a few times and he punished them. Both sides will feel they should have won it for different reasons but another day out seems fair. Once again Bryan Sheehan kicked a monster point for South Kerry to draw the game. He continues to enhance his reputation as the greatest club/district player in the modern era

He continues to enhance his reputation as the greatest club/district player in the modern era I think it's a big stretch to suggest Sheehan is the "greatest club/district player in the modern era" after a very solid county championship last year. He was completely anonymous for the entire game against kerins o Rahillys last week, where an u known club player John c o connor destroyed him throughout. Against stacks he was marginally more influential, but again, Wayne Guthrie was the real star of the show around the middle of the pitch. Sheehan is the greatest free taker I have ever seen. There is no argument there. But I would not agree that he has been dominant in terms of his general play. Not in my eyes at least.

I'd say Maurice was a better free taker and with both feet off the ground,take a look at the '97 All-Ireland final again.

I think it's harsh citing his championship last year as "very solid". He single handily took teams apart in almost every game and always did it when his team needed him most. 5 county championships won in his career, every one is was more important than the last. Two all Ireland club titles, and around 8 South Kerry championships. His influence on all of them has been huge. While Guthrie played well yesterday, he fell into the Jamie O'Sullivan mindset from last year where he was more concerned about kicking his own points rather than marking Sheehan. Sheehan boomed over a few monsters from play as well when the ball was being passed around aimlessly, which is still why I think is is invaluable at this level

Jesus that was a shambles by East Kerry. It's worse there getting. It might sort them a lesson if they don't get in it next year. Where were the likes of Liam Kearney , Mike Stam o Donoghue , Shane Cronin , Hickey from spa ? Derry ahearne from Listry ? Paudie Clifford from fossa? Daniel o brien ? The list could go on on. Do players not want to play?

You mustn't watch much football, Liam Kearney hasn't played in about 9 months if not more due to injury, which is all over the u21 thread & I doubt daniel o Brien is going to risk a Munster minor final appearance for a game like that.

Do players not want to play? Mike Stam is getting married in a few months time and I don't believe he is playing much for spa either so he has opted not to play for East kerry, Craig hickey is not a guarantee for spa not to mind East kerry. Derry Ahern would not improve the team, Paudie Clifford was told he was on the bench for the Stacks game and decided not to turn up, disgusting attitude. Shane Cronin had an injury. Fair play to Milltown showing good character to come back from a humiliating game vs legion last wkend. Cathal Moriarty missing too and he is their best player in my opinion.

Time keeping reared it's head again last Sunday, One minute and 12 seconds played at the end of normal time in the second half and a full four minutes plus at the end of the second period of extra time.

Anyone know which of the Divisional sides are in relegation play off. Feale Rangers lost both games but so did Brendans and East Kerry. Feale Rangers could hardly put together an outfit for regular championship let alone rally troops for play off. Worrying stuff

Worrying stuff District teams have preservation rights and are protected species with conservation status. Bit like getting the single farm payment for farming badly.

Worrying stuff My understanding is their will be a play off between the 3 districts that lost both championship games and Shannon Rangers in October. Probably 2 straight games with losers facing play off again next spring

FairPlay to Milltown for coming back and putting in a real good performance against East Kerry. East Kerry were brutal to be fair but don't let that take away from Milltown. Mid Kerry were shocking for the majority of their match. Dingle dominated in every sector with Paul Geaney and Mark O'Connor imperious. Baffled how they lost that game but I guess Mid Kerry showed real battling spirit and I think that game will gel them and really unite them as a team. Great fighting spirit shown to pull it out of the fire. The introduction of Spud was the winning of it imo

The think the amount in time added on was mainly down to the fact that Bohan was intent on decapitating a few players from the opposition. Sheehan was down for a good 2 minutes with a blood nose after him and Cian Connor was down for a bit after receiving a close line off him

Worrying stuff My understanding is their will be a play off between the 3 districts that lost both championship games and Shannon Rangers in October. Probably 2 straight games with losers facing play off again next spring This issue was discussed at recent county board meeting - if the criteria applied for this year's play off applied again, it would amount to the 2 same teams, Brendans/Shannon Rangers playing off again next year; it was suggested that each divisional sides performance since 2012 could be the criteria applied for play off for 2017 based on points system with one point being awarded for a win- it was not agreed upon but looks like this will be the format for 2017 and will be voted on later in the year.

I am very surprised that the replay is fixed for Connolly Park. This match is likely to attract a huge attendance and Austin Stack Park would have been the obvious choice for comfort and parking. Connolly Park is fine for "run of the mill" fixtures. I will be giving this match a miss on account this decision.

I suppose technically it's Austin Stack's right to play in Connolly Park but I did also think it'd be on in Austin Stack Park. I'll be avoiding also as a result.

Bryan Sheehan's South Kerry prove too strong for Austin Stacks in Kerry SFC replay
Sean Cournane and Killian Young found the net for the defending champions.
A GOAL EITHER side of half-time saw South Kerry see off Austin Stacks by eight points in their Kerry senior football championship Round 2A replay this evening. After Bryan Sheehan’s leveling point last week, the two sides renewed battle lines in Tralee but the defending champions proved too strong with Sean Cournane and Killian Young finding the net. There was little to separate the sides until Sheehan set-up Cournane for the game’s opening goal after half an hour. From there, the 2015 champions pulled clear and eventually ran out 2-10 to 0-8 winners at Connolly Park. Austin Stacks will now go into Round 3A alongside Killarney Legion, St Kieran’s and Dingle while South Kerry advance to the quarter finals.

I noticed it was a copy and paste alright after seeing a few things on the internet. South Kerry were impressive more or less from start to finish, even if they had a nervy start. Sheehan was a colossus again, dominating every sector of the game from kicking points to collecting balls in front of Donaghy at the end. Killian Young was superb once again, completely nullifying Shane Callaghan. Niall Shea and Daniel Daly won good ball in the forwards. Sean Cournane once again popped up with 2 goals when needed. I felt stacks died badly after the second goal. Aimless high balls into Donaghy with 20 mins to go accelerated their downfall. Their kicking was very poor with only a few players seemingly confident enough to have a go. Overall, I feel if South Kerry can get their 3 Kerry seniors back (Mark Griffin, Brendan Sullivan and Denis Daly), they will be a hard team to stop. Stacks look a little rudderless up front and will need to rectify that before the next round

South Kerry were marginally the better team in Caherciveen and would have won the game with Brendan O'Sullivan and Denis Daly playing. Sean Cournane vindicated his selection so after a quite 90 minutes the week before. A very dangerous poacher. Sheehan, Young and Declan in his day have all been massive for south Kerry over the years.

[/b] I would endorse the above wholeheartedly but would elevate Declan to another level for his displays with SK; I know Sheehan has been mentioned in posts for his influence for SK for last 10 years and understandably so but I believe without Declans leadership, drive, commitment and stubbornness that the Bishop would not have made is way south as often as he did!

No mention of Stacks great goal chance just before the South Kerry opener or that Stacks were the better team in the opening half Such is the way of modern journalism.
