If you offered Peter Keane a one point win before the game he would have snapped your hand off. Especially if you also told him that his team wouldnt perform to their potential. Kerry will now still be in the championship in 3 months time so loads of time for work to be done or new fellas to force their way onto the team or panel. Those who stood out for me were McCarthy and Moriarty in the backs, Paul O Shea in midfield and Paul Walsh in the forwards. For sure he would have taken a one point win before the start. I think the u17 grade will become very unpredictable. The players are very young.....................

I see the Leinster minor championship is based on two groups of five with the top two coming out to contest semi finals, i.e. 5 games to get to a Leinster final.
Is the current model in Munster benefiting the province best? Albeit 5 games to get to a provincial final seems extreme at u17.

Kerry 1-11 Cork 1-10 HT 1-3 0-6
The Cork boys were doing their pre match warm up in my area and one of their mentors kept repeating the mantra " back to training on Friday night". Sadly for them there will be no training on Friday night, chiefly due the system prevailing at present where the losers of this match are inactive for the rest of the year. On the evidence of what I saw this Cork team deserve another chance. Indeed, had they won one would find it very difficult to say that the better team lost. However, it is Kerry who won and one finds it very difficult to argue against the merit of the victory, if you get my drift. What I am trying to say is that there was only a hairline difference between the teams, which generally has been the case over the past few years. It looked as if we were going to have extra time just like 2015. This gripping game may not have had the quality of that game, mainly because these boys are a year younger, but it lacked nothing in excitement and a willingness to give every ounce for the cause. Just like the 2015 game which went to extra time, Kerry lifted themselves for the final say with Jack O'Connor, a substitute from Beaufort, delivering the winner. That was Jack's second point.
Cork played with the wind in the first half but it was Kerry who started better with half back Dan McCarthy from Kenmare, impressive all through, scoring a point. Not too shortly afterwards Paul Walsh, at the end of a good movement, scored a fine goal. Playing against the wind things were looking fine and dandy. However, for the remainder of the half it is no exaggeration to say that Cork dominated possession. Their two tall midfielders repeatedly outfielded us , ensuring a regular supply of ball to their forwards where Aodhan O'Luasa at full forward had the beating of this opponent and above all Conor Corbett at corner forward appeared as if he would kick Cork to victory on his own. This tall, rangy player glided around the pitch and kicked four paints in all in that half, three of them in quick succession. He also cracked a vicious one against the crossbar. Only a combination of poor execution and some heroic Kerry defending prevented Cork from having a healthy half time lead. Instead, they led by only one coming up to half time when a very welcome Paul Walsh free made it level at the break.
Early in the first half we missed a couple of easy frees and when Nial Hartnett kicked a Cork point to give them the lead one envisaged a long , lazy summer for our boys. But over the next ten minutes or so Kerry played their best football. The defence knitted together to smother any Cork advance and Darragh Lyne from Legion became hugely influential at midfield and unlike Cork's period of dominance in the first half, Kerry profited from their ascendancy. Ruadhri O'Beaglaoigh kicked a free to equalise and this was followed by a marvellous Jack Kennelly point to give Kerry the lead which they did not surrender until Cork's late equalising goal. A further flurry of Kerry points ensued to make it 1-9 to 0-7 half way through the half. Looking good. But Cork were not prepared to show the white flag. They rattled off the next few points to leave it 1-10 to 0-10 going into injury time. Refuse to concede a goal and we have it. We conceded. A Cork player, for once in that half, was allowed to waltz through and he parted to the right colleague, Conor Corbett. Cometh the hour, cometh the boy. Conor duly slammed it home. Appropriate that it was he. The best forward on the pitch. A Cork mentor danced a hornpipe, a jig and a reel. Level and surely extra time. Next possession could change a football life for one of these teams. Kerry secured it and worked it up to Jack O'Connor who made a few yards and nervelessly fisted over the winner. It will be forever to the credit of this team that they had the will and purpose to strike back with the winner after sustaining that late sucker punch.
It is strange that so far in my repeort I have not mentioned the most consistently outstanding player of the evening, Paul O'Shea from Kilcummin. Nominally at CHF, his brief clearly was to roam all over the pitch- intercept there, block down here, fetch there, make yards here and in reality become the man of the match. There is no doubt Kerry would not have come close to winning this match without his exceptional contribution. Bravura, Paul.
It was not a flawless performance of course. The forwards looked a bit light and disjointed at times and seemed to suffer without an orthodox CHF providing a fulcrum for the attack. This is a conundrum for Peter Keane. Do you employ Paul as essentially that orchestrator on the forty or allow him the roving commission he implemented with such success last night. A problem for another day.

Is the current model in Kerry benefiting the province best? Albeit 5 games to get to a provincial final seems extreme at u17. Dont see why they couldnt have 2 groups of 3. Top two in semi finals. And final. 4 games. You could play the round robin and semi finals over four weeks in May & early June as you are not clashing with state exams (maybe some Junior Certs). Final on Senior Munster Final day.

The most satisfying thing about the performance was the way they went straight up the field after the goal to score the winner. They think like winners. They will improve a lot. They are still in school. A full summer training will make a big difference. Agree 100%. How many times have we bemoaned the response of men almost twice their age to a 'sucker punch' goal? They kept the heads and did exactly what they had to be done and well done to Jack O'Connor for his presence of mind and strength to get that fisted point. Well done to Kerry goalkeeper also on taking control of high ball at the death and making the clearance. It's a long time since I have left Austin Stack Park with such a spring in my step.

Did i hear correctly on RK that one of the Kerry players (maybe a sub) was aged 14? Doubt it, surely there is an age limited on this. There was a reference to a player that the commentator had been watching since he saw him playing u-14 - I suspect this is what you half heard. Rule is that a player must be within two years (i.e. u16 or u17) to be eligible for intercounty I think. Or at least this was the case when it was u18 age limit.

You could play the round robin and semi finals over four weeks in May & early June as you are not clashing with state exams (maybe some Junior Certs). Final on Senior Munster Final day. Cork have been the big losers here over the past while. Yes, and that could just as easily be Kerry. But why do Cork and Kerry put up with this grossly unfair system every year? What pressure is being put on to have it changed? On that score, is it the provincial councils or HQ that determine the format? - they seem to be different in each province. If it's the Munster Council in this case, surely the big two should have significant influence. In the meantime you couldn't blame Cork (or Kerry) for trying to throw their opener next year, thus ensuring a handy passage into the M/F and AI Q/F via the losers group. Better than dicing with death in the semi under the present arrangement (unless both lose of course). Mind you, throwing a game against, say, Waterford could be a bit like a slow-bicycle race but it's a damning indictment of the system when winning is punished.

The Munster Council will review the structure of the provincial minor football championship in July, Jerry O’Sullivan has revealed.
Jerry O’Sullivan.
The format of the competition was raised at the most recent Munster Council meeting last week and it was agreed that a more lengthy discussion would take place later in the summer when counties will be asked whether or not they want to persist with the open draw system.
There has been much criticism of the format since Cork’s 1-11 to 1-10 defeat to Kerry in Tuesday’s Munster semi-final at Tralee. Cork, for the third time in four years, have fallen to Kerry at the semi-final stage, thus ending their season in early May.
Former Cork footballer Tony Davis yesterday tweeted that the provincial structure had become redundant, claiming the best teams should progress to the final.
In the 2015 semi-final, Kerry overcame Cork by the minimum after extra-time in Austin Stack Park. That was Cork’s campaign done, with Kerry winning their next four matches en-route to All-Ireland glory by a margin of 10 points.
The Rebels hammered Waterford in their opener last month and yet, had they come off second best against the Déise, they would have avoided the Kingdom at the semi-final stage.
“That’s one of the anomalies in the competition structure at present,” said Munster Council chairman Jerry O’Sullivan. “There is a weakness to it.”
The structure of the Munster MHC was changed from an open draw to round-robin at the end of last year so to have the minor competition fall in line with the senior. There was a proposal from Cork to revamp the minor football, but with the draws for 2018 already made, it was deemed to have been made too late.
“All the regulations had been drawn up at that point, but I’ve no doubt Cork will come again with a proposal,” O’Sullivan continued.
Leinster and Connacht both operate a round-robin system, while Ulster have moved away from the straight knockout which mirrored their senior provincial championship.
“It will be interesting to see what the counties come back with. If the counties agree to change it, we have no problem. What we have at present is what the counties voted for. That is what they wanted. All we can do is follow the wishes of the counties.
“Every county wants to have a chance of getting to the Munster final because they feel it will bring encouragement to their own players. Until the counties agree to change the format, we will continue with what we have. In any competition, the ideal is to have the two best teams in the competition. How you achieve that is another matter.”
With the draw having been kind to Clare this year and last, they are now looking forward to a second successive Munster final appearance for the first time since 1953. They’ll be hoping to make a better fist of it than last year where they were walloped by Kerry on a 2-21 to 0-3 scoreline.
“The way the draw is set-up, it opens it up for the weaker counties,” Clare manager Maurice Walsh said after their semi-final win over Tipperary on Tuesday night.

Paul Walsh looks to be a real talent and kicked some nice scores. Our inside forwards look to be a bit light but I'm sure they all have plenty of football. Young Jack O Connor didn't do himself any harm when he came on kicked a very nice score and not only did he punch over the winner he won a vital ball from the final free of the game if he didn't win that maybe the ref would have allowed one more attack. He might have just played his way into the team for the munster final. I'm sure The change in age will throw up many inconsistent performances as the year goes on but a win is a win all the same. Are we really looking at all Ireland contenders? I cannot comment too much as I have not seen this minor team live yet but this minor campaign is sure to be unpredictable and may throw up a few surprises, I hope the surprises won't start with the munster final

Meath have had decent minor teams the last 2 or 3 years so they might be on the way back. Leinster desperately needs them and Offaly to get good again at senior level to put it to Dublin again.

Interesting stat. the 5 man of the match’s in the minor county league finals - were all U16 - jack o Connor - beaufort - Colin Crowley - Templenoe - Emmett O’Shea Fossa - Hassett - Laune Rangers and Jack Sheehan Na Gaeil. I heard we have a very strong u-16 team. Jack O’Connor showed up very well in his cameo for the minors.

Any idea on the other 3 ?

There really is some serious talent on this u16 team. This year the competition for places is unreal I was at their challenge game against Dublin last weekend where they put on a wonderful display of attacking football and they made light work of what seemed to be a very good Dublin side. Devon burns from na gaeil is the starting goalkeeper for this side who was let go by the minors earlier on this year Enda o Connor also seems to have been let go but I am sure he will make his way back into the set up at some stage as he is a good player and the younger brother of Diarmuid a lot of these young lads in my view could easily make the step up to this year's minor panel which certainly put's us in good shape for next year also.

A completely new full forward line the next day . That line against Cork was fairly feeble all right but nevertheless it is a ruthless clearing out. Indeed young D'Arcy from Glenflesk seems to be dropped from the match day panel .

Indeed young D'Arcy from Glenflesk seems to be dropped from the match day panel . Darcy is injured, hence not in the squad. Lenihan was always a contender but was injured for the earlier rounds; Dylan Geaney, brother of Conor is a serious talent but very young.
