Little talk about this competition, starting this weekend, wonder if any players who stand out could get drafted in to intercounty squad or is it too late? Crokes, rathmore, dingle and rahillys for me. Love watching the best teams in the county perform, should be a good weekend of football, who do people think will win and what players should we be looking out for?

Agree with Franks selections above and the margins too.
I can't think of many players who are not in Eamon Fitz plans that definitely should be. One is Shane Murphy, he is the best goalkeeper in the county without a doubt and supposedly he has been informed that he will not be part of the plans this year. Shame for him but good for the Crokes.

Senior Club Championship Rathmore V Kilcummin Rathmore to win Dr. Crokes V Austin Stacks Tie of round Crokes marginally Killarney Legion V Dingle Dingle for me in close contest Kerins O'Rahilly's V Kenmare Rahillys in a tight one! Rathmore seem to be the choice in game 1 I think Crokes will have far too much for an off colour Stacks in game 2 - beaten by both of their town rivals already this year and its a long time since that has happened to Stacks. Dingle on paper but Legion at home can be a tough venue to get a result - also Dingle will be depending on their returning intercounty stars and the U21's need to have recovered from the disappointment of last Saturday. Rahillys off the back of two good wins with a lot of less established players featuring against Kenmare is another close game to call but home venue and should see them win.

I think Rathmore will be vulnerable in this game - Pat O'Driscoll has targeted this game since the draw was made and I believe that Kilcummin could very well spring a surprise here. Legion in Dirreen are always difficult to beat, Dingle guys may have a hangover since the U-21 defeat so its Legion for me; Stacks have been finding the going tough of late but its in these kind of situations they often thrive - problems at the back may have been solved by the acquisition of David Hennessy in goals ( think this now means he will have played for all Tralee town clubs) but their injuries could just be too much to overcome a Crokes side; Rahillys are playing with renewed confidence and Kenmare without Steven O'Brien ( ?) may not be good enough. One week turnaround then to the semis and the relegation games and in the case of Rathmore/Kilcummin only 3/4 days as they play next Weds 26th and the following weekend.

Rathmore V Kilcummin Rathmore too strong here.
Dr. Crokes V Austin Stacks Crokes will win this. Stacks form is poor at the moment.
Legion V Dingle Legion are conceding too much but still winning games at the moment. Dingle I will be picking.
Kerins O'Rahilly's V Kenmare Rahilly at ease here I think.
Would you find odds on these games as a matter of interest?

Crokes beat Stacks as expected but is was a very low scoring game at 0-10 to 0-4. A long time since Crokes scored so little on a game they won.
Dingle V Legion a draw after extra time.
Kenmare beat Rahillys by 1 picking up a red and two blacks in the closing 10 minutes as they shut down the game.
Any result from Rathmore v Kilcummin?

Any result from Rathmore v Kilcummin?Rathmore v Kilcummin is on next Wednesday evening so no Crokes v Stacks a very disappointing game - Crokes had 5 points scored in the first 15 minutes but eased up considerably as the game went on and in the 2nd half when they went long spells where they simply played keep ball and looked uninterested in scoring - from a long way out the game was down to walking pace - Crokes did butcher a few goals chances as well. Stacks were poor and made it very easy for Crokes with a lot of errors. With both sides missing a lot of key players it felt very phony war and way off in terms of intensity. I was between two minds over whether to go to this or continue on up the road to the Legion Dingle game and of course it sounds like I made the wrong choice with that game being a much more entertaining affair. Expected Rahillys to get home over Kenmare, but from twitter it seems Kenmare were much better in the first half and should have had a bigger lead. Disappointing result for Rahillys at home.

Expected Rahillys to get home over Kenmare, but from twitter it seems Kenmare were much better in the first half and should have had a bigger lead. Disappointing result for Rahillys at home. Stacks were extremely disappointing and Crokes genuinely didn't come out of second gear. From the outset it was very evident that Crokes were well up for it and looked much fitter. Stacks were chasing the game after 15 mins and never came out to try and press or dispossess Crokes. Crokes gave an exhibition on how to control a game and the result was never in doubt. Crokes have drastically improved on closing out games and their ball retention is first class. While it was not for the purist and I have no doubt the Legion Dingle game would have been more entertaining, it was a very professional perfor,acne from Crokes. Both sides were missing key players and Crokes will have far tougher games in the near future. There were not too many standout players in the game, Mike Milner (first half) played very well and all the Crokes backs were well in control. Stacks didn't really have any players who played well. Pa Mac kicked 2 of their 4 point total. Jack Morgan showed in patches. Gavin White once again showed his pace breaking through the middle on a few occasions. Crokes forwards were quiet enough for their own standards. Micheal burns and Jordan Kiely the liveliest but both made questionable decisions at times. Donaghy was very poor but didn't get much help from a heartless Stacks.

That's a fairly awful result for Rahillys- anyone have any match reports?
As an aside- surely pressure should be put on the clubs to produce some kind of match report so as to help to promote interest?

Legion V Dingle seems to have been a good game - close at least. Again any reports welcome.
Any word on the replay - second phase of games was scheduled for next weekend.

As an aside- surely pressure should be put on the clubs to produce some kind of match report so as to help to promote interest? Rahillys will rue this loss big time; Kenmare set up with 8 defenders. 4 up front and extracted max effort from Paul O'Connor & Sean O'Shea who were both excellent in the first half; Kenmare lead by 0-8 to 0/6 @ h/t, quickly added another 2 points early in the 2nd half; however Rahillys struck for 1-3 without reply to lead by 2 after 12 mins; Rahillys then self destructed and gave away two soft scores trying to work ball out of defence to leave the sides level. However worse was to follow when goalkeeper Gary Kissane was concussed in cutting out a dangerous ball and his replacement was soon picking the ball out of the net following a defensive mix up. The match was then halted as Gary Kissane took unwell on the sideline and needed medical assistance including an emergency call for an ambulance; thankfully he is ok but Rahillys were rattled on resuming and eventually lost by one. Kenmare had a red card & 2 black cards issued in the final minutes as they consistently fouled and disrupted the play. Rahillys were without David Moran, Con Barrett, Ross O'Callaghan & John Ferguson.

My understanding is Kenmare were also missing players including Stephen O Brien Rahilly's only lead in the game for a couple of minutes. For the rest of the game Kenmare were in front and could have had 2 goals in the first half to kill off the game. Rahilly relied heavily on long balls on Walsh(which he did very well with) but struggled otherwise to break down Kenmare from Play.

Rahilly relied heavily on long balls on Walsh(which he did very well with) but struggled otherwise to break down Kenmare from Play. That is fair to say regarding breaking down the defence as the Kenmare defensive system was water tight and the long ball to Tommy was often the only option; Rahillys were often forced out the pitch such was the concentration of bodies in the Kenmare half. Ross O'Callaghan was introduced in the first half in defence, Con Barrett came on in the second half as did Shane Foley for the injured Gary Kissane and Gearoid Savage in the full forward line after the hold up.

I'm sure rahillys will be disappointed but kenmare must be over the moon after that win especially after making the grade up from intermediate last year. Massive boost for them going forward.

The ref was fairly ropey in that game. Probably worth mentioning that Strand Road were beaten by a point having had a clear point from Jack Savage waved wide in the last couple of minutes.

Many referees and umpires are unreliable to say the least. Saying that, it is a thankless job and I don't know how they do it so they must take some credit. The standard at inter county level is appalling, so it is inevitable that the standard is poorer again at lower levels unfortunately. How did the county lads do? Steven O Brien and Moran did not play?

Didn't have a program but presume Paul O'Connor was 14 for Kenmare, whoever the 14 was anyway was very good. Probably between the first two for best on show.

Paul O'Connor was indeed No 14 and did very well. On the subject of the ref, I was amazed that he allowed both Kenmare subs for the black cards to enter the field of play immediately contrary to rule which states that the replacements must not take the field until the next break in play - it was poor for an inter county ref.

Agree but I blame the rule makers even more than the ref - rules are so fussy and detailed one needs to be a walking encyclopaedia with instantly recall not to mind eyes in the back of your head to get everything even half right. This is particularly so as the other officials are rarely used and never consistently- umpires are the most useless officials who rarely see anything and frequently can't call scores accurately.

Ya 1 team. You'd have to think it'll be Kilcummin. Only team not to threaten the county champ title over the last few years. Maybe Rahilly's too but you'd think they would be good enough to beat Kilcummin

Yes Kerrybhoy, only one to be relegated. If I was to pick I would probably say Kilcummin could go but it's certainly not a formality and no Pat O Driscoll side go down without a fight!!
