Decent first half with the wind and up 2-10 to 1-0 at half time. Second half was a bit of a shambles with a lot of wide and unstructured play that will leave plenty to talk about. Second half was 6 points each but Kerry won comfortably. Cork had a big win over Tipp 3-21 to 1-8 Semi final is a crucial game with the loser finished for the season. munster.gaa.ie/fixtures/minor/who will Kerry play in semi final. i cant figure it out from the Munster GAA website. Cork v Kerry in knockout semi-final in Pairc Uí Rinn. Limerick v back door team in other semi-final. Bad for Cork/Kerry but great for the other 4 teams as one of them is guaranteed a Munster final spot and then an All-Ireland 1/4 final.

Semi final is a crucial game with the loser finished for the season - and it's an away game in Cork for us.

Win or lose this really is a joke of a system. Kerry haven't felt the effects because they haven't lost in this round since 2011 but it's no wonder Cork football is struggling when they had arguably the 2nd best team in Ireland at this level in the last few years but didn't get beyond May. That means the Kerry lads had almost 4 months more training afterwards. You would easily get despondent and take up hurling or leave it off altogether if you were the Cork lads

Kerry looked good in the first half. Played some good stuff. David Clifford and Donal O'Sullivan looking dangerous. The second half not as good. Some poor shooting and passing came into their play. A lot to work on. A bit worried about quality forwards on the bench. Cork look strong this year.

I simply can't understand the system and have struggled to understand for a few years. Why can't the two round QF winners avoid eachother in the semi with one playing the team with a bye and the other QF winner playing the winner of the round robin. This from a Tipp man is not to ensure Cork and Kerry are protected but for a fair system. The current system has so mnay imbalances it is hard to see any straight thinking.

Total miss match last night, over after 10 minutes. Media reporting this morning a Cork v Kerry semi final in Cork?
Some system alright if one from Clare/Tipp/Waterford could end up playing August football while one from Cork/Kerry will exit over the next week or two!

And the u17 team play Tipp in the SF on May 2nd (scheduled for Tralee).
Cork gave an unmerciful hiding to Waterford in the u17 competition 6-21 to 0-1

Tipp got some leathering off Cork so Cork must be very strong this year.

Plenty for Peter Keane to ponder after last night.
Biggest disappointment was the lack of impact of any of the subs. The second half was full of stoppages with no real flow, that may account for this.
It looked like another Kerry player suffered a serious knee injury last night. It becoming all too common at this grade. Lets hope he's alright.

Cork v Kerry in knockout semi-final in Pairc Uí Rinn. Limerick v back door team in other semi-final. Bad for Cork/Kerry but great for the other 4 teams as one of them is guaranteed a Munster final spot and then an All-Ireland 1/4 final. This isn't confirmed though. If Tipp come through the losers' round they would play either Kerry or Limerick. If Clare come through they would play either Cork or Limerick. If Waterford come through they would play either Cork or Kerry. So it looks like a draw will be required regardless and repeat pairings won't be allowed.

The only way it will not be Kerry v Cork is if Waterford come through.

Mark Cronin is the danger man for Cork. We have to watch him closely. Maybe go with Potts or Gammell on him. Looks like Sean O'Leary could be out and Cian O'Callaghan. Eddie Horan should be center forward. We need more firepower on the bench. Aaron McCarthy Dara Cleary or Shay Walsh at least one of them could come in. Luka Brosnan also should be there.

I heard that the under 17's played a challenge game against Dublin today in Limerick. Kerry won handy enough, 2-18 to 2-07. It was interesting to see that some of the natural 17's who are in with the minors were involved in today's match.

Yes...losing Munster semi-finalists done for the year. Munster are paired with Leinster this year, so the All-Ireland quarter finals will see Munster winner play Leinster runner-up, and Leinster winner play Munster runner-up. All minor quarter-finals set for August Bank Holiday weekend.

Dublin 1-15
Meath 1-13
(after extra-time) Kevin O’Brien reports from Parnell Park
TRAILING BY 10 points at the interval, Dublin produced a remarkable performance to edge out Meath after extra-time in the Leinster MFC first-round. O Dublin gained revenge on the Royals for last year’s quarter-final defeat and they couldn’t have scripted it any better. Meath appeared to be coasting to victory at the interval, but Dublin’s response after the break was remarkable. They trailed by 1-10 to 0-3 at half-time but outscored the Royals by 1-8 to 0-1 in the second period as the away side completely capitulated.
The winners had all the momentum heading into extra-time and three big scores from Ciaran Archer sealed the win. Dublin had sports psychologist and senior star Kevin McManamon as part of their backroom team, and the man known for his ability to turn a game on its head must have had a few influential words during half-time. The first-half was exhibition stuff at times from the Royals, who completely outclassed the home side in every facet of the game.
Meath operated with a 2-2-2 system in attack, rather than the conventional shape of three half forwards and three full-forwards. Wing-forwards Connell Ahearne and Paddy Conway dropped deep to protect the defence when Dublin were in possession, while Sean Martin and Conor Freyne kept their shape down the middle channel on the 40. It left the Royals with a pair of inside forwards – Jordan Morris and Shane Walsh. Walsh kicked 0-6 and it won’t be long before he makes the step up to the senior ranks. Centre-forward James Doran and corner-forward Archer were central figures in the Metropolitan fightback. The menacing duo bagged 1-11 between them as Doran’s hard-running and Archer’s accuracy proved pivotal.
Dublin trailed by just a point after the opening 12 minutes, but Meath soon made their dominance count. Conor Freyne’s wonderful individual goal and a brace of points from Walsh pushed the Royals six in front in a devastating five-minute spell. Donal Ryan kicked Dublin’s first score in nine minutes, but Meath finished the half with five unanswered scores to lead by 10 at the half. Dublin signalled their intent with three quick scores after the break, including a brace from Archer. Back by the wind, Dublin dominated the exchanges after the break and kicked the first five scores after the turnaround, with Archer kicking three fine scores.
Walsh posted Meath’s first score of the half on 55 minutes, but moments later Dublin’s Doran fired in a stunning goal from 14 metres to leave them trailing by 1-11 to 1-9. Doran and Ryan added a score apiece to force extra-time. In the dying minutes Meath lost defender Robbie Clarke to a red card, but they were restored to a full compliment for extra-time. Archer added three points in extra-time as Dublin ran out 1-15 to 1-13 winners. Scorers for Dublin: James Doran 1-4, Ciaran Archer 0-7 (0-1f), Ross McGarry 0-2 (0-1f), Donal Ryan,and Mark Tracey 0-1 each. Scorers for Meath: Shane Walsh 0-6 (0-3f), Conor Freyne 1-1, Jordan Morris 0-3, Adam Murphy, Sean Martin and Paddy Conway 0-1 each. Dublin

Interesting that with the huge number of clubs in Dublin that only 8 were represented on the minor starting 15. In contrast Kerry had 14 different clubs in the starting 15 against Clare.

What a kid this guy is Fine player indeed but I repeat my warning regarding our midfield pairing which is suspect. Clifford will need good service but primary possession may not be forthcoming from midfield.
