What was BJK sent off for ? Two yellow cards both for high tackles.

Nice to see a mix of the old and the young on the crokes team but will that be the team we will see in the later stages of the year ? They looked very tired last year and with many exceptional minor teams in the last few years it’s only a matter of time until we see more

They looked very tired last year and with many exceptional minor teams in the last few years it’s only a matter of time until we see more Crokes have always played young players that have shown themselves to be capable. Mikey Potts will stay there once he keeps performing, he has been one of Crokes better performers this year to date, he is a fine player. With Eoin Brosnan pushing on at his age and Ambrose O Donovan not playing this year then Paul Clarke may well keep his starting position with him and Daithi Casey rotating. It will take David Shaw another year at least before he nails a place in this team. This Crokes team face a mass exodus within the next 2-3 years and there will be a transition period. There are a lot of players with plenty mileage on the clock in their thirties.

Thats true but plenty of young talent coming up. 3 Goalies are still young Shane Murphy is 24 Johnny O'Leary is 21 Nelu Doherty is 19. David Naughton Mike Potts are regulars now. John Payne and Mike Moloney are both 31 this year. David O'Leary is 28 Jason Lyne is 24 Fionn Fitzgerald is 28 Gavin White is 20. Mark Fitzgerald and Lorcan McMonagle are both promising backs just out of last years minor team both 19. Mark Cooper is another promising back.
Paul Clarke is 21 Daith Casey is 28 Johnny Buckley is 29 Alan O'Sullivan is 31 Billy Courtney is 20 Gary O'Connor is a promising minor. All can play midfield. Eoin Brosnan is 38 Shane Doolan is 32
Mike Burns is 22 Gavin O'Shea is 24 Brian Looney is 31 Colm Cooper is 35 Kieran O'Leary is 31 David Shaw is 20 Jordan Kiely is 22 Tony Brosnan is 23 Jack Griffin is 19 Mark Hartnett is just out of minor. Mike Lenihan is a promising minor. I think they have enough talent coming up to keep them neat the top for the next few years.

For me the most startling aspect of this post is the retention rate - very few other clubs retain players to this extent - even other Division 1/Senior clubs. A high proportion of minor graduates go away to college and in many ways these are easier to retain for those college years - the bigger problem comes when they enter the jobs market and there is a very high loss rate (ofter to football and not just the club) when this happens.

That's true it is easier when you're a town club. Probably Legion and the Tralee clubs are the only other ones. I appreciate what the smaller clubs in Kerry have achieved. When you see clubs like Templenoe in Division 1 with the pick they have you have to take your hat off to them. They make bigger clubs look bad in a good way.

Crokes should still remain the team to beat in Kerry for several years yet. Hopefully Dingle can pull a championship win or two together also. Killarney and Dingle seem to be where the bulk of the good young players are coming from based on the success of schools football.

Everyone is upsessed with crokes on this forum crokes are a bad example of how football should be played because often it is not pleasant to watch no doubt about it they have fantastic talent but the football they play can be quiet negative

There it is the comment of the year. Why don’t you look at what Crokes score every game. Do you know how much they have won Division 1 games the last couple of years. Crokes are easily the best team to watch in Kerry. That’s a stupid foolish comment. I can see you don’t go to games. Dingle are a good team to watch. I would put them second. Obsessed is the word you’re looking for there.

Post by kerrygold on Apr 8, 2018 18:29:55 GMT
Great game of football in strand rd today. Really good standard of play all around. Crokes were put to the pin of their collar by a side still without David Moran but who showed much more than they did against Stacks a week earlier. For Crokes, Tony Brosnan was outstanding in the corner, shooting on sight and finished with 5/6 from play. Kieran o Leary finished with 1-2 but was well marshalled in the second half. Daithi Casey finished with 1-1 maybe, but again, I thought Ross o Callaghan kept him very quiet. Buckley, Burns and Looney all had good moments but none were outstanding. KoR led by a point at half time, and again found themselves in the lead with 6 mins to go. Barry John beat fionn Fitzgerald well to finish with 5 from play, and John Ferguson cut loose in the other corner with 4 from play. Jack savage had a very strong game all through and looked back somewhere towards his best. In fairness, this one could have gone either way. Both teams missed great goal chances but Crokes bit of experience, (they brought on both Cooper and Eoin Brosnan) saw them home in a very enjoyable game. The Kerry number 1 didn’t have a good day off the tee, and going by the evidence of the national league and today, he’s not as good a kicker as we hoped he was. On a final note, the performance of referee Ger Lynch and his linesmen was simply not good enough for this level of competition. I’m not sure who appoints the officials, but they need to put some more thought into it. He made a series of bewildering calls for both sides, and despite sending off a Crokes player at the death, he denied KOR a couple of crucial late frees that could have turned the game in their favour. Crokes will now play stacks to decide who top the group and KoR play Gaeltacht to decide who goes to the relegation play off. On this showing, Crokes & KOR look the more likely winners next weekend. How did Tommy Walsh play? seems he was outstanding last weekend.

Have to agree with all that, accurate summing up. None more so than referee- his inconsistency in the final minutes definitely cost KO’R - first he ignored a blatant foul on a Strand Rd forward when the defender came through him; having blown against BJ for holding on too long, he gave Fionn a free for the same indiscretion. Crokes looked ordinary at times being held scoreless from the 15th minute to half time conceding 6 points without reply when you consider Rahillys scores the first point of the 2nd half. Buckley was very good but as you say, Burns, Casey were well marshalied and Shane Murphy looked poor @ times. It was a fine game, but officiating was poor.

Tommy played well but kicked a couple of frees wide in the first half when Strand Road were on top.

Was Moran playing? Did Cormac Coffey play well? I know I'm asking for specifics but just curious how the lads close to the county panel got on

Tommy played well but kicked a couple of frees wide in the first half when Strand Road were on top. I was following the game on twitter and was wondering why Savage had taken over the frees- Tommy was superb from the placed ball last week but jeez he puts an awful amount of height on them when its not necessary- makes them more liable to swing off or take in the wind

I know I'm asking for specifics but just curious how the lads close to the county panel got on Barry John was too good for Fionn, took him for 5 points, all from play - was fouled for a few more, well on top. Jack was good, very involved, kicked a “45”, another from play. Cormac did well on Burns - Burns kicked one point, Cormac got forward but spoiled some good work. David Moran not togged out.

Good performance by O'Rahilly's. Showed good determination and heart. Never gave up. Barry John played well. Crokes looked a little sluggish. Could have gone either way. Overall a good game to watch.

Think its a step Tommy not interested in taking! He has his medals, plenty of awards - seems to be happy playing for his club at the moment.Its also possible that his hamstring would not endure the rigours of inter county training.

Yes, would concur with that also. Just saw him playing once towards the end of last year and it was obvious the hamstring was a concern.
