Was at the Ardfert v john Mitchels game & I must say it was one of the worst games of football that I ever witnessed. The wind made it difficult for both sides & both struggled more with it more than against it with blanket defences. At one stage the Mitchels keeper was the only player in their half. Ardfert just about deserved it for their never say die attitude even after going down to 14 after a few minutes of the first half of injury time but Mitchels were absolutely clueless on the sideline of how to deal with the sweeper system that Ardfert put in place. They were 4 points down after 10 minutes when playing with the wind & had one forward inside the 45 against 3 backs & then started to shoot from 50 yards out, absolutely crazy stuff. Brandon Barrett played but wasn't a standout performer & seemed to be carrying a calf or leg injury, John Egan was busy & kicked the winning point near the end, Mitchels had a chance to equalise but wasted it. As I said , Ardfert deserved it but how did Mitchels beat both the stacks & rathmore in recent weeks , maybe it was just an bad day at the office.

Ardfert is a bit of a graveyard for teams in the championship. No one should really be surprised at the result.

Ah ok...thanks. I thought ardfert and ballyduff were playing each other. The county board have so many variables to contend with in setting fixtures ...its well nigh impossible to keep everyone happy.... But this is a tough one alright

Brendans play Shannon rangers on May 6th in the County Championship qualifier game. The first round of the County Championship is the following weekend. They need to get the Intermediate and Junior Championships to semi final stage before the start of the county championship. Pity the Kerry hurlers werent out on the Saturday giving the extra day (similar to those teams who had Kerry U21s playing on Saturday and had to play again yesterday). Not ideal but manageable.

Why do they need to get a semi final stage so quickly doesn't make any sense I remember Ardfert played ghaeltacht last year at the end of may an the co championship had kicked off.... coming from a a dual club myself I think it's totally wrong how are Ardfert an ballyduff supposed to prepare for massive games when they don't even have there players for training when the ghaeltacht an tousist Ah ok...thanks.

So that club players can play football now and not wait until October and be forced to play 12 weeks in a row. Its unfortunate for a small number of clubs but they cant hold the vast majority to ransom, like happened in years past.

Attended the An Gaeltacht vs Gneeveguilla game. This was talked about as a game that would be extremely one sided with the home side as overwhelming favourites at 1/10. This weekend had thrown up some big shocks and we very nearly saw the same in Gallarus as the East Kerry side put in a titanic effort almost over turning 1 of the hotly tipped sides in the competition. Early on the Gaeltacht showed why they were strong favourites putting over some great scores from Tomas O Se Sean Micheal O Connor and Eanna O Connor tthrough some well worked counter attacks. Gneeveguilla kept plugging away with some outstanding work from their full back line of (all under the age of 19) Darren Brosnan Dj Murphy and Connie O Connor with Corneilius Buckley and Padraig O Sullivan also doing great work of their own keeping the score board ticking and keeping the away side in the game. An Gaeltacht wing forward Gearoid Mac An Tsaoir was getting on a lot of ball and hurting the Gneeveguilla defence at every opportunity with his powerful runs. Roibeard O Se had a good tussle with Gneeveguillas veteran midfielder Don Murphy. I heard someone in the crowd mention that he turned 38 yesterday which is frightening if true to think he's still competing at this level in that position. An Gaeltacht went in at the break leading by 6. Gneeveguilla came out in the second half and immediately broke with midfielder Conor Herlihy picking of a great individual score from the throw in. From here on Gneeveguilla dominated the breaks around the middle and with about 10 minutes to go the home side lead by just 2 points and found themselves under serious pressure. An Gaeltacht then switched Eanna O Connor to around the middle to try and win some possession but it was substitute Pj Laimh with the goal who broke the Gneeveguilla hearts with a surging run from the half back line to get the defining score of the game. Gneeveguilla will take great encouragement from the hearty performance with just 3 of the starting 15 over the age of 30 things are looking up for the East Kerry side. An Gaeltacht will definitely come out of that titanic battle having learned a few things about themselves and this tough physical encounter will certainly pay dividends as they face Ardfert in the next round. It was an extremely entertaining game proving how conpetitove this completion is. An Gaeltacht now being managed by Dara O Cinnede and Marc O Se as player/manager will be rated as one of the favourites going forward with some very talented young players on board. An Gaeltacht 1-15 Gneeveguilla 0-13

No can't agree with this,Kerry hurlers could be out of action on May 14th so the game v Tousist (With no county players involved) could be played at any time over the summer months.
An Gaeltacht & Ardfert the same,Brian O Beaglaoich is probably the only player who will be with Kerry so i don't see a reason why that couldn't be fixed for another date and let BOB play

Glenflesk vs Laune Rangers - Glenflesk
Templenoe vs Glenbeigh-Glencar - Can't split this one.
St Mary's vs Castleisland Desmonds/Na Deasmúnaigh - Desmonds, just.
An Ghaeltacht vs Ardfert Football Club - Ghaeltacht in a close enough affair.
This is going to be a tight round, not much between the sides!

Glenflesk v Laune Rangers Laune Rangers to grind out a win
Templenoe v Glenbeigh Templenoe have too many trump cards, should go all the way to winning it out this year
St Mary's v Desmond's A Humdinger in the making, Desmond's to edge it if they can rattle the net a few times, which I think they can
An Gaeltacht v Ardfert The men from the west by 5 or 6

Laune Rangers pulled off a great win against Glenflesk and for a team who may do well to retain their status in division 3, they have pulled off a couple of big results in the intermediate. Anyone with a match report?

I know Marc is training the Gaeltacht but is he playing aswell ? Ardfert vs Gaeltacht looks to be a promising game. With ardferts never say die attitude and there willingness to edge out games id nearly fancy them to beat Gaeltacht. However with Gaeltacht having home advantage it could prove to be a massive factor

Laune Rangers pulled off a great win against Glenflesk and for a team who may do well to retain their status in division 3, they have pulled off a couple of big results in the intermediate. Anyone with a match report? Laune Rangers has 2-2 on the board after maybe 12 minutes. Great work by corner forward Costello for the first and great goal after a poor kick out by Peter Crowley for the second. Glenflesk dominated the rest of the half but wasted maybe 1-6 in that period which proved their downfall. Level 2-2 to 8 at the break. Laune Rangers were much better organised and played with a real purpose and determination. They employed Kieran Crowley as sweeper to deal with the threat of Lee O'Donoghue and Dara Roche. Peter Crowley played centre back and Shane McSweeney seemed to drop to midfield. McSweeney was outstanding in terms of work rate and physicality. Costello caused problems in the full forward line, Clarke was well managed by Shane Courtney. Rangers got the vital goal early in the second half and went into a six point lead. Despite the sending off of Tyther, they had enough resolve to hold out. The red card was harsh in some respects but also hard to argue with as it was a high tackle around the neck. It was harsh as it was not deliberate.

Any idea when draws for the semis are? Teams would be looking to draw Rangers but they are always tough to beat in championship.
Wide open competition I reckon
