Crokes to beat Dingle in final Kenmare to beat Gaeltacht if Kerry boys are playing and fit A Crokes win would not be a shock and is the likely outcome based on their ongoing successes - however Dingle seem to be motoring well (could have been an easier group?) and had 3 emphatic victories in the round robin. Crokes has a close call agains KOR and Stacks seemed to have pushed them again today. Time for the great Dingle minor sides of the past few years to show they have transitioned to serious seniors and this could be their opportunity. Looking forward to this final to see who comes out in top.

Will the losers of Kenmare V Na Gaeltacht go back to their respective divisional team for this year's County Senior Championship or will it be 2019?

Thanks for the clarification Greengold - I don't think either team will make the county final in any regard...so that relegation game not on until October? Hard to keep fellas motivated all through the summer for that game

Hard to keep fellas motivated all through the summer for that game It will probably be played with the county final like last year when Kerins O'Rahillys played Kilcummin.

For Kerins O'Rahillys, Chuckie Carroll and Karl Mullins were very good. Karl Mullins was probably their best back for most of the game Moran was the difference in this game, he caught a pile of ball in the first half against a very strong breeze. Ross O'Callaghan is another guy who has come on leaps and bounds for Rahillys and has been involved with the intercounty panel. For Gaeltacht, Sean M was very dangerous throughout, he got the goal and kicked a couple of points with it. Padraig Se did well with the ball in hand too I thought but found it very hard to get near Jack Savage without fouling him. He got a second yellow with towards the end of the game.

Crokes to beat Dingle in final Kenmare to beat Gaeltacht if Kerry boys are playing and fit Stacks looked to have the beating of Crokes in the first half while playing against the wind . In the second half Crokes shut the game down by playing Cooper virtually on the half back line in a quarter back role . They held possession for long periods and frustrated Stacks. They also stopped any fast ball into the full forward line by fouling around the middle when deemed necessary in the second half. If Dingle push up on Crokes if Crokes deploy similar tactics and man mark Cooper even when playing very deep in his own defence then it could be an interesting final.

Yes I have seen this countless times with the Crokes bringing Cooper out from the forward division - helps them to leave more room for their other forwards inside as well as you say leaving Cooper in a playmaker role.
I agree you need to push a man up on him and try snuffle him out of the game...your other 5 backs need to be on their toes with a back having been taken out of the backline...
Think it will be an interesting final alright but Crokes for me on their experience

Should be a great final. 2 best teams in the County at the moment. Could go either way. Of course are a young hungry side. Plenty talent in their team. Always got a good minor or two every year to keep them tipping over. Crokes kind of the same.
Dingle strong midfield. Barry and Dara O'Sullivan. Paul and Conor Geaney up front along with Cathal Bambury along with Matt Flaherty up front. If they do have a weakness it's the full back line and Crokes can exploit that.
Johnny Buckley and Paul Clarke are forming a good partnership this year and they will be a test for dingle. up front Crokes have serious ability. Brian Looney Mike Burns Gavin O'Shea form a strong half forward line. Tony Brosnan is playing great football and maybe a call up for Kerry is not far away. Daithi Casey and Kieran O'Leary are dangerous as well. When you add Gooch David Shaw Jordan Kiely and young Jack Griffin it could be too much for Dingle to handle.
Crokes biggest problem will be who marks Paul Geaney. Maybe play a sweeper in front of him. That will be Crokes biggest issue.
Close one to call but I think Crokes have a stronger squad and that should be enough. Crokes in a high scoring game. 3-15 to 2-15.

you left out Mikey Geaney Na Crocaigh
serious talent in that Dingle team. if they clicked on the day, I d give them a right chance
I wonder have Dingle problems mobilising them for collective training & games, a lot of them based outside Kerry and not as central as Tralee and Killarney for getting home

Dr Crokes gave a masterful display today in regaining the Senior Club Championship. Despite playing a large portion of the game with 14 men they proceeded to dominate proceedings regardless. Their customary guile and hard running throughout simply proved too much for Dingle and it will be a huge surprise if any team is able to stop them from regaining the Bishop Moynihan Cup. From a neutral point of view the game was ruined as a spectacle by a really below par performance from the referee and his officials. Players on both sides became visibly frustrated with what can only be described as some very bizarre decisions which led to tempers becoming frayed. On my count the referee dished out a red to Crokes, a red to Dingle and three black cards to Dingle and yellows flew around like snuff at a wake. A game which Crokes always looked likely to win was lost as a contest as soon as the game started to be stripped of many of the big name players by a below par officiating team. The players deserve the top officials for a final in one of Kerry's top competitions but kudos to the Crokes they produced yet another top quality performance on the big day.

Indeed it was a masterful display from the Crokes again, their ability to produce top-class forwards in unrivalled.
Roll on the County Championship now!

Judging by that display Crokes have moved on again and fair play to them but is any other Club/Division going to raise their game to the required level?

It will be a major shock if Crokes do not win the county championship again this year Really hard to see anyone trumping them for a bit yet. It will take an exceptional team to beat. I get to see a fair bit of them and aside from the teamwork, skill, great players etc they are also ruthless and have a much harder edge than they had years back. I'd like to see someone match them as it would be good for Kerry football in general but it's hard to see for now. Nothing to do with Crokes they have been superb.

Disappointing result for Dingle. It will take time for them to step up fully to challenge for the senior championship.
Hard to see the Crokes being challenged for the championship. South Kerry are probably the best of the district teams but will Bryan Sheehan still be the same player post Kerry training, Declan is retired and Killian still has to prove his fitness.
Maybe the championship is poorer without full Kenmare & West Kerry district teams competing?

Maybe the championship is poorer without full Kenmare & West Kerry district teams competing? Dingle will be rightly disappointed, they started brightly but in common with some other clubs versus Crokes they had serious problems in the first half on their own kickouts , with Crokes in a crucial period of the game winning a high % of them, while at the same time Crokes throughout the game ( even when down a man) were able to secure a high % of possession off their own kickouts. Do other Kerry clubs show Crokes attacking threat too much respect ? Did Nemo show the way how to play Crokes last Nov?
