Hoping for either Dingle or Rathmore to win it out, should be 2 good games this Sunday.

Sounded like a decent game between Crokes and dingle today with the Crokes goal and Murphys save from Mikey Gaeney the difference between the sides. Sounded like it got a bit niggly towards the end. 1-15 to 0-15 points the final score.

Brendan Griffin Clounmacon in charge of the final. A good ref in fairness.

n an exciting semi final between Kenmare District and Rathmore, the two teams were separated by just one point at the final whistle. Rathmore trailed by 5 points at the beginning of the second half but started to make a come back with just eight minutes to go. With three minutes remaining the sides were level but Kenmare District took back a two point lead. In the final minute Rathmore missed two goal chances. It finished Kenmare District 0 – 20, Rathmore 0 – 19. This year’s County Football Final pairing is a repeat of the famous decider of 1987, where Kenmare District won with a late goal against Crokes. To follow the Radio Kerry Sports liveblog visit www.radiokerry.ie/sport/county-senior-football-semi-finals-score-by-score/The final will take place at 3.30pm at Fitzgerald Stadium next Sunday.

Brilliant open semi final between Kenmare and Rathmore, there's been some excellent games in this year's championship. Ironic given all the bellyaching by some of the bigger clubs' delegates last year about changing the championship. Looking forward to next Sunday

Sounded like it got a bit niggly towards the end. 1-15 to 0-15 points the final score. No more than Aldi plastic shopping bags rather than hand bags, nothing in it at all, harmless. Crokes the better team over the hour but have regressed significantly. Very tactically aware and Pat O'Shea coached it will be interesting to see if they contain the running game of Kenmare district in the final and grind them down. Kenmare have been my dark horses all along but threw off the dark horse veneer during the first half only to shroud themselves in it again during the final quarter. Having this game wrapped in the first half they pulled back in the second half and a couple of high octane plays from Aidan O'Mahoney at the death could have initiated a Rathmore victory. Looking forward to reading about veteran's take on the black card policing in the first game. The ref ignoring a blatant body check in the first half from the Gooch and awarding Brian Looney a black in the second half for a kick across the feet of a Dingle player. I say award because it was borderline straight red. The application of the black card it utterly frustrating and it needs to be reviewed at this stage. Rob Warton walked early in last years county final for a similar body check while Richie Feeney was probably the first big casualty of the black in the All-Ireland club final some time back. I suggest the black card is a farcical effort at eradicating cynical play from the game currently and is not fit for purpose. Relying on the interpretation of the ref makes it unworkable. Fascinating county final, the heart says Kenmare based on seeing a new kid on the block that are full of hard running and sound football acumen, but a sneaking suspicion suggests that tactically aware Crokes will take a lot of beating in the final.

Brian Looney clipped the Dingle players ankle without doubt but to suggest it was a borderline red is off the mark I think. The Dingle player sharply changed direction and Looney could not adjust his feet in time, it was a complete accident and anyone that has watched County Championship in Kerry over the last 10 years could verify the type of player Brian Looney is and he is certainly not a dirty player. Gooch on the other hand deserved a black card prior to the one he received. Kerrygold, anything to say about the two blatant black cards that should have been awarded to Dingle forwards for third man tackles? Stevie Wonder himself would have spotted them. Perhaps you did not see. I also don't think that Crokes have regressed significantly, I believe that the standard of the other teams has improved dramatically and now the County Championship is as competitive as it has been in a long while. Perhaps Gooch's influence on games has regressed but Crokes certainly have a much more competitive panel and a better 15 in my opinion. Also when you consider Crokes now have a solid shot stopper, with a monster kickout and a reliability with frees then I think that Crokes have improved. If you look at yesterday, Crokes had the luxury of introducing Ambrose O Donovan, Micheal Burns, Jordan Kiely and Mick Milner.... with Chris Brady, Jamie Doolan, Luke Quinn and Shane Doolan all not featuring with the latter three recovering from recent injuries. There is no team or divisional side with these options and this is one reason I think Crokes will have enough to get over the line next weekend against Kenmare, but only just. I think the restructuring of the Championship has been great benefit and there are now 5-6 teams with The Bishop Moynihan cup as a realistic target. On yesterday, Crokes marginally deserved to win but Dingle showed they are a team to be reckoned with, something that didn't surprise me or many others for that fact. There weren't too many standout performances but Tom O'Sullivan was man of the match for me. He shackled Tony Brosnan with ease and was explosive breaking from defence for two superb first half points, he looks a serious player and from what I have seen of him he is worthy of a call from E Fitz. Daithi Casey had a good game for Crokes, especially the first half where he was positioned at Full forward and caused Padraig O Conchuir many problems. Kieran O Leary was disappointing at half forward. Brian Looney kicked two first half points but failed to really get into the game, Gavin O Shea likewise. Gooch did ok kicking 3 from play. Johnny Buckley was ok also and the game seemed to pass both midfields by. Ambrose was introduced for Eoin Brosnan, who scored the decisive goal, and he did a little better kicking a good score to nose Crokes ahead at a crucial stage of the game. Crokes defenders overall would be happy enough and Dingle were limited to mostly frees. P Geaney and Mike Moloney had a good enough tussle with Geaney getting a few from play but Moloney also dispossessing him a few times. Mikey didn't impose himself enough on the game, he was followed everywhere by David "Buddy" O Leary who is just as tenacious and aggressive as his opponent. Conor Geaney started brightly scoring a good point from play and drawing a few frees but his influence on the game deteriorated as Gavin White eventually got to grips with him. Dingle rallied well after Brosnan goaled and at times Dingle looked the better team and the team who looked like they would go on to win but Crokes experience showed. One critical moment stood out to me when the game was deadlocked and Mikey Geaney picked up a ball 50 metres from goal and attempted an audacious outside of the boot pass to Paul which he missed by inches....this was a pass that Crokes players would not have attempted given the close nature of the game...they played it simple in the last 7 or 8 minutes and ultimately it was their experience that pulled them over the line. Only got to listen to the second game on the radio, I heard Adrian Spillane who was supposed to have a cracking game limped off the pitch? Is he ok? He would be a major loss for Kenmare if he was to miss next week. Looking forward to it already, should be a cracker. I will go for Crokes by 2.

Thanks for that Hugh20. Listened to that first game on the radio so it was good to get an eyewitness view. Crokes have the experience and once they got the goal it seemed like they could hold out, unless Dingle hit back with a goal of their own.
It really is set up for a great final. Kenmare District are laden with talent and the unique situtation which has some of their constituent teams in the Intermediate Final is testament to that. Rathmore, like last year, are not far off either. Didn't hear that match but 39 points is a pretty high tally in any game.

It is not workable because it is open to interpretation of the referee. You say the Looney incident was accidental, I said it was borderline red, maybe the ref didn't know if it was yellow, black or red and went for the safe option. I.e. the player could be replaced. If it was accidental as you suggest then perhaps the ref made an error in giving a black card at all? The black card is not sufficiently defined in it's current format and is indeed farcical. The game lacks a defined tackle. I don't believe the current Crokes teams is as strong as recent Crokes teams that were strongly knocking on the Andy Merrigan door. Time will tell. Regardless, the best of luck in the upcoming County final on Sunday.

In the event Kenmare win, who will represent Kerry, is it Dingle who won the Club?! Stacks The rule needs to be changed so that the team that gets furthest in the senior championship, represents kerry. Club championship should only come into play when two divisional teams meet. CROKES should now be representing Kerry no matter what happens on Sunday.

The game lacks a defined tackle. I don't believe the current Crokes teams is as strong as recent Crokes teams that were strongly knocking on the Andy Merrigan door. Time will tell. Regardless, the best of luck in the upcoming County final on Sunday. I agree that different referees interpret it differently and in its current form it is a disaster. It has proven particularly harsh on players in big games, none more so than Jonny Cooper, James McC and Lee Keegan in recent weeks. There needs to be a level of consistency with its interpretation which is currently non existent. Mike Quirke, I thought had a good idea on how the rule could potentially be changed if you check out his article last week. Crokes lost out in a replay for the Andy Merrigan in 2007 against a Crossmaglen team considered in their prime. This Crokes team was not a patch on the current team and had many weak links. Crokes lost in three consecutive semi finals to Crossmaglen, Ballymun and Castlebar and were well beaten in the latter two. I believe the current team is better than those teams. Obviously it is only a matter of opinion but one thing that is glaringly obvious is that there is most definitely a stronger panel and they could potentially finish a game with just as strong a team that started it and not many teams throughout the country could say that. I would love to think that Crokes have a chance to win it this year but I think it would be a stretch too far. Club teams have improved dramatically and many clubs have similar commitment levels and preparation as inter county teams. My point in a nutshell, I believe Crokes have improved but other teams have significantly closed the gap in Kerry and I don't think this team is quite good enough to go all the way. As you said KG....Time will tell. Thanks, we will need all the luck.

2 good semi-finals. On injuries the Examiner had the following Adrian Spillane would be a huge loss, he had a massive game yesterday. It might just be a fatigue injury as it came with his last burst deep into the attack to set up the lead point for Kenmare. He had a big game on the breaking ball in the middle third combined with quick acceleration into space from the contact area. Probably worth a look at in the NFL at wing forward. His game has come on in leaps and bounds as they say. He covered serious ground yesterday. Some interesting back drops to the final with Alan O'Sullivan from Tousist playing with Crokes and John Galvin from Crokes managing Kenmare district.

Crokes had their chance in the club championship. HJ: Think of it in psychological terms. Crokes fail to beat Kenmare and have that disappointment going into their Munster game is it one week later? Hardly set up to represent Kerry well. You say about Stacks not making the SFs of the SCC fair enough...but who did they beat in the final...if Crokes were so gpod surely they would have won the Club. My line here is open to attack but all clubs knew the rules going into the season so Crokes can have no complaints.

Kerry representatives play the Clare winners on October 30th, this gives a fortnight break in between the county final. This counters in the fact of a possible draw which has caught many county boards......like Kerry last year. Clare, Tyrone and Cavan county finals ended in draws the weekend.
There will always be debate about what should determine the representatives of the county. In my opinion it can be unfair to say the last club in the county should represent the county because it may then come down to "luck of the draw". When South Kerry were so dominant in the mid 2000s imagine drawing them in the 2nd round, you would have to feel hard done by. For example, Kilcummin represented Kerry in 2007 and while Kilcummin are a great club they weren't the strongest team in the county but just got a fortunate draw. Personally, I think the current situation is fine and if Crokes fail to beat Kenmare then Stacks are worthy representatives.

My line here is open to attack but all clubs knew the rules going into the season so Crokes can have no complaints. I would have to disagree with psychological aspect as Crokes shocked Nemo in the Munster championship a week after being defeated by south kerry in the county final only to go on and loose the AI final in replay to Cross. However crokes did know the rules before playing stacks and should have beaten them. However a bad refereeing decision changed that game. I do believe crokes will beat Kenmare as Crokes will be more aware tactically with Pat at the helm and would be favoured to grind out the game if need be.

Sorry if I've missed this in an earlier thread but does anyone know if the final is being televised anywhere? I see TG4 don't have it. Any club streams or links? (Outside of Ireland). Thanks.
