you ll have to back up your claim about midfield,what do you base it on ? Fair enough squareball. My opinion based on watching club football. Don't want to be over critical or be too specific as these minors are only kids at the end of the day. Just feel that midfield is not dominant enough. Perhaps I should have asked did posters feel we were strong enough there rather than stating it. Will be delighted to be proven wrong but have genuine worries. Discount the Clare game as they haven't even begun their own minor club games over there and the county team preparations were hopeless with a bunch of hurling panellists parachuted in at the last minute. So are we strong and dominant enough at midfield ? We'll find out soon.

U17
Kerry 3-11 Tipp 1-6 HT 2-4 0-2
There was little to enthuse about in this match. Kerry were deserving but not convincing winners. Indeed , the final score flatters them. Tipperary were game and dominated for stretches but their efforts were not reflected on the scoreboard. This is not to say that the Kerry defence were impressive which just conceding 1-6 might suggest. Tipp too often cut through a porous defence for ocmfort but wild shooting and poor shot selection proved their undoing.
Kerry dominated the early stages with a strong midfield, later to fade, and it looked for about ten minutes that Kerry would romp home. They got two rapid fire goals. Sean Keane did well to field a ball that seemed to be going wide, passed it across the goals to the unmarked Barry Keane who duly kicked it home. In the blink of an eye goal number two arrived. The aforementioned Sean Keane send in a a dainty ball which finished with full forward, Michael Slattery. Michael scored with the poise of Paul Geaney. I was very taken by Michael but the more the game went on the more he was starved of possession.
After those two goals , some of kicking was very poor, going wide or dropping feebly into the goalie's hands.I think about fifteen minutes had elapsed before Kerry kicked their first point. That is a worry for the future. By now, Tipp had settled and were giving as good as they got but those two goals presented them with an intimidating task. For the rest of the game, they had the upper hand at midfield. Only Sean O'Connell performed here for us, and then only episodically. A highlight of that first half was a point from centre forward, Donal O'Sullivan. He soared to catch a Tipp kickout, ignored his mark, made a few paces and kicked high and true. Donal was probably our best player, creating havoc with his blistering speed. Is he on the minor team?
Tipp had more of the play in the second half but did not have the craft up front to profit. They were very intent at running at the Kerry defence , with a lot of success, even though more variety may have reaped a bigger reward. All our defenders did in their individual contests but , as suggested already, as a unit they were vulnerable to Tipp's forceful running.
Kerry brought on a variety of subs as the game drew to a close, including Maurice's son who did not do a whole pile. Michael Devlin made a few food runs when he came on and one of those incisions resulted in another goal for Michael Slattery. The most impressive sub of all was Daire Cleary. He showed the earnestness and craft of uncle John of Cork fame.
All in all, a lot of improvement is needed. It maybe of course that we are underestimating the Tipp boys. It should also be pointed out that these lads are under seventeen rather than under eighteen.

That means two big championship games against Cork in the next two weeks that will decide if either or both the U17's and Minors have intercounty football for the remainder of the summer. First up the minors play Cork on the 10th (a week today) in the winner takes all semi final (Pairc Ui Rinn)and six days later the U17's play Cork in the Munster final in another winner takes all match (no back door in the U17 competition) - only difference is the venue which will be a Kerry one for the U17's.

Will the u17 championship take the same format as the u17 championship next year ?

I presume the minor team will be announced this evening - all or nothing clash on Wednesday against Cork in Pairc Ui Rinn. Limerick play Clare in the other semi with one of them guaranteed football to the August weekend at least.

I think Kerry will win this game comprehensively. We have some great forwards like David Clifford and Donal o Sullivan and some outstanding backs. My only concern would be midfield as we haven't seen them in a real contest yet. I'm going for a Kerry win by 8 points

I dunno about that. Cork have two very good forwards in Mark Cronin and Damien Gore that will take some watching. Walsh and Keane in Midfield are two big strong guys well able to win their own ball. Should be close enough i think. Kerry need to improve. They were very poor in the second half against Clare.

I agree that Kerry were poor in the second half but they did empty the bench and If they hadn't had done that would they have been as poor ?

Kerry definitely have the potential to win this game but as we learnt to our cost in the U21's they need to perform on the day to make that happen. Getting young heads right is just as important as the physical training and preparation. Best of luck to the team and mentors tomorrow.

Really hope my bad feeling about this game is wrong - Cork have a big contingent from last year still available whereas Kerry have a lot less (albeit some good ones) and home venue for Cork should not be underestimated. Hoping for the best but with some niggling fears.

Deividas Uosis, a good Daingean ainm, what will MOM have to say about that when Deividas stops a haymaker?, I hear he is v classy, does hail from east or west, north or south?
Negligible NK presence, is NK weak or is the standard that high?

Even though we won comfortably against Clare I thought we had lots of room for improvement.
We kicked a good few wides and in particular our half forward line looked weak enough.

Negligible NK presence, is NK weak or is the standard that high? We regularly make comment on the lack of NK players which caused me to look at terrace talks database of players and interestingly Emmets are the only NK club to feature in the top 15 producing minor clubs in Kerry history. Historically SK produce more minors. Stacks, Crokes & Dingle occupy spots 1,2 & 3. On the same theme I was looking at the correlation between Kerry minor representatives and Senior club success and it is interesting to see 10 of the 12 Division 1 club sides are in the top 15 for producing Kerry minors. Templenoe and Desmonds are the "surprise" packets with Desmonds in particular as they have only had four Kerry minors in the past 14 years or so.

A redeeming factor is that NK is only about 15% of the area -hard to believe without examining it on a map, what % as regards population I wouldn't know, less soccer and rugby down south and back whest I'd be thinking though one Deividas Uosis certainly looks like a new bloodline in the gene pool! Where are his folks from?

A fantastic win and performance by the Kerry minors this evening against Cork. Well done to the Kerry team and management!
One game at a time now but guaranteed football into the August weekend will be brilliant for the development of these young Kerry players. There is a long long road ahead but the potential would seem to be there.
However, I hope we’ve all learnt lessons from our under 21 debacle this year and walk easy while the jar is full. Humility is key now and keep in mind no team is unbeatable.
