Extra game if two came out of groups. Same amount of games in a Christy Ring Format. In fact it would be less for some because if your team went the direct rout they’d only have to play 4 games to win it. Win rd1, win a game in the winners side of rd2, win your semi then play your final. 4 games total. Every team gets a least 2 games. Two teams would get play just two games, because they’d have lost rd1 abs the losers side of rd2. They’d then play a relegation playoff between themselves. So you’d end up with every team getting 3 championship games minimum. Maximum any team would play is 5 games, the same as recurrent format That would be the case for the senior c'ship. But there are 16 teams in every other c'ship. 8 winners of round 1, 4 winners of the winners from round 2, so they can only go through to a quarter final (not a semi) where 4 others would join them coming through the back door. So thats a minimum of 5 games. Would take 6 weekends to play it off.

There is county league games pencilled in for next weekend. I'd say it's the 2 weekends after that for semis and final.

St Marys: 2-9(15) Ardfert: 0-6(6) FT Piarsaigh Na Dromada : 1-22(25) John Mitchels: 1-8(11) FT
No surprises here.
St Marys top the group and Ardfert into the relegation battle.

If I was a betting man I'd say that the winners will have lost to a relegated team. Still all to play for though.

Intermediate semi finals to be played on week end of 28/29 with final on 5/6 May - extra time if necessary, venues to be decided. Relegation game between Ardfert and Gneeveguilla to take place next week end with other semi final ( Brosna/Laune Rangers) the following week end and final 5/6 May if Ardfert NOT involved.

I was a fan of the new championship format until last Sunday , when a team like Skellig unbeaten don’t qualify for semi then something wrong and with Glenbeigh v milltown conveniently starting 15 mins behind Kilcummin v Brosna , with word filtering through that Kilcummin we’re winning comfortably a win no good to glenbeigh and a win for milltown sees Brosna put down to relegation battle after beating milltown, not saying there’s anything wrong now..... but would two up and a quarter final sort things out

Tempelnoe look strongest here in my view. They have the experience in the business end of championship football that Glenflesk are missing. The men from g'guilla gave them their wake up call and they reacted with the most impressive result of all teams in the group stages in beating spa. The losses of the last two years and guys coming back to fitness could be the catalyst for them.
Think this glenflesk team will win an intermediate but they may be too young and inexperienced this time out. They have shown inconsistencies in the past few years with performances and results. They have taken a huge step forward this year in beating castle island.
St Mary's have good pedigree, they would need a return to form of three years ago. How is Aidan Walsh playing. Sheehan back in is huge for them and. He can dominate at this level.
Kilcummin surprised me with their results so far this year but I think they have the most weaknesses of the semi finalists.
Squad depth could be big with 5 championship games in 6 weeks to go all the way. All that said obviously all will fancy their chances.
As regards the new format, I think some tweaks need to be made, maybe get rid of head to head tie breaker? Would 1/4 finals be one too many weekends. Schedule is tight right now.

Well how is Kenmare a neutral venue for Templenoe v Kilcummin in the Semi Finals .. St. Marys V Glenflesk in Killorglin..... which is netral for bot clubs but Templenoe obviously well used of Kenmare considering they play Divional football with Kenmare in Senior County Championship..... Think County Board leaning as to who they want in d Final.in this Semi Final....

I think Glenflesk and Templenoe have the 2 best forward divisions left in the competition and ultimately forwards win competitions...
What do people think on the relegation front? Rangers have been abysmal this year huge turnover in players from the prior year...is it between them and Gneevguilla to go down?
Regarding the "results" of some final round games both at Intermediate and Junior yes I think it is an issue - not sure adding extra rounds like Q/F is the way to go though...county board struggling as it is to fill current schedule around the intecounty team...

Ardfert beat G'guilla by 10 points to secure their intermediate status. More heartbreak for the East kerry side against a determined Ardfert outfit. 15 mins into this game Gneeveguilla lead by 2 and looked well in control but then a goal for Ardfert came from a mix up in the gneeveguilla back line through a 45. Gneeveguilla did draw back level but then came another killer blow on about the 25th minute again through a mistake from a Gneeveguilla kick out handed John Egan the oppurtunity to put the ball in the net. Up to that point Gneeveguilla we're playing all the attractive football with Dj Murphy outstanding at full back aswell as Patrick Warren and Shane Crowley driving them forward from the half back line. Ardfert went in at the break 6 points to the good but the game was stil in the melting pot. They started to second half brighter and began to dominate around the middle third with Trevor Wallace a constant driving force from centre back and Bobby Regan and David Griffin playing well also for the Brendan's side as they finished out the game in style. Intermediate status retained for another year by Ardfert as Gneeveguilla must go to battle once again in a play off final vs either Launge Rangers or Brosna. I find it very hard to believe that 1 of these teams will be playing junior football next year and it just goes to show how high the standard is at this level in Kerry. My only worry for this competition is that after Gneeveguilla meet Renard next weekend in the County league and the following week face into the Intermediate play off it will mean they will have played for the 7th weekend in a row.. it obviously applies for most clubs but I feel that it's an extremely tall ask for players bodies to handle that kind of work load? It mag suit the stronger teams with bigger numbers available but you'd have to wonder how the smaller clubs are to manage that? Not to mention if they lose players through injury? It just seems as if these games are trying to be played off as quick as possible to have another box ticked off that there put of the way.. For example the winners of the intermediate and premier junior Championships will be decided on the 5th/6th of May yet won't be playing a championship game again until the Minster Championship until maybe October? Who's season may have take a turn im form by then? Now I understand that this may suit some teams and won't be suitable for another that's just my opinion I think that the triumphant feeling of winning the championship may have worn off by the time the Munster championship comes around.. Like I said that's only my opinion everyone sees different aspects to it. I'm all in favour of more championship games like they have now made available to clubs just maybe not making it so hurried. Maybe there looking at making the Senior county championship stronger by ensuring there will be no championship clash of clubs within districts and players being held for whatever reason

Good report gaa addiction.
Do you think Gneevguilla have the wherewithal to beat Brosna or Rangers? Sounds like if they stop the silly mistakes at the back they have a chance?

It's hard to know really I suppose. Looking back on previous meetings of the teams in the past few years Gneeveguilla have come out on top against both but in Championship football you just never know. Rangers have proved over the years that when it comes down to the nitty gritty situations in championship football they always have the metal to get themselves out of it.. having lost so many experiences heads from that dressing room may make it difficult for them but time will tell I guess.. They will obviously need Peter Crowley motoring extremely well fto give them a chance. Gneeveguilla and Brosna seem very similar in the last few years, both teams have struggled with consistency. I'd imagine that with Brosna's forwards they would have too much for Launge Rangers, but you can never rule out the Rangers at the same time they just love the pressure of Championship football

There are plenty of weekends (and could even play midweek) in the summer to play that round of the county league.

Going to go for Kilcummin to surprise Templenoe.
Marys have a proven record at this level and apparently have a few of their big players back for this. Think they could just take Glenflesk.

Launge Rangers and Gneeveguilla to battle it out to retain Intermediate status.
Brosna 2-11 Launge Rangers 1-11
Rangers starting without their main man Peter Crowley despite being named at midfield on the programme left it a tough task for this very youthful side. Rangers never trailed at any stage in the 1st half and looked comfortable in most departments with Fiachra Clifford showing well for them and their defence doing very well to hold out the Brosna attack whom never seemed to get motoring in the opening half. The teams went in at half time 6pts each and you would have to say that Tim Fleming and the rest of the Launge Rangers outfit would be the happier of the 2 having played with the aid of a slight breeze in the 1st 30mins.
The Kilorglin came out all guns firing and 4 mins in came a goal for Fiachra Clifford after he sent in a high ball into the square and the Brosna keeper Paul Reidy failed to deal with it. It was then with about 10mins gone the Brosna attack started to play to their potential by leaving the ball into danger men Patrick Moriarty and Tom McGoldrick which lead to a goal. From that moment you could see it lifted the north kerry men and never looked back from that point. Shane Fitzmaurice Eamon Kiely and Mike Finnegan began to become more influential and drive on Brosna. Launge Rangers youth struggled to come to terms with the setbacks. 10mins from time to the suprise of many spectators saw Peter Crowley introduced but never made the impact the Mid kerry side would have hoped for.
It will be interesting to see whether the County board will play the Intermediate final and play off together considering the 4 teams involved would all be around the Killarney area as you would presume half way between Kilorglin and Gneeveguilla would be Killarney? Beaufort vs Na Gaeil and Ballydonoghue vs Anascaul in Tralee maybe? Or is it a no brainer to play the 2 finals together?
