Beaufort, ballydonoghue, St Pats and Na Gaeil for the semi’s. Beaufort would be gunning for this title as they have a good league position and 2 mid kerry championships already in the bag

Beaufort and Ballydonoghue to make semis from Groups 1&2. Certainty. Group 3 ; Keel and Foilmore best days are beyond them. Pat's have poor champ record and also on downward spiral while Fossa are on upward curve with david Clifford on board. Fossa to qualify Group 4 ; Na Gael or Ballymac. I give the vote to the Na Gael. Relagation ; Annascaul, Churchill, Foilmore and Finuge with Churchill to drop out

County League form has thrown few spanners in the works Beaufort to still win group but Annascaul could be dark horse here Ballydonoghue to still win group, I thought skellig might be threat but maybe listry one to watch If fossa get out group they could win competition if David clifford stays on form. He could be unstopable. Foilmore showing bit form in county league. Na Gael to qualify with ballymac as threat
Wins this weekend for Beaufort and Annascaul Listry and ballydonoghue Fossa and foilmore Na Gael and ballymac to win

I think Beaufort and na gaeil are two of the best I don’t see fossa coming out of there group beaten well by a poor Castlegregory side proves they have nothing without Clifford. On foilmores run of form and mark griffin to come back I really fancy them to come out of that group

Yes Castlegregory are poor they couldn’t win a junior last year beaten by listry and as far as I know they were up by 9 points at half time

Wouldn't agree that CastleG are a poor side - if they beat Fossa then teams should be wary of them. Also the fact they made the Junior Final at all last year is a good reflection albeit if they left that final after them

You mustn’t have been at the junior final last year because Castle gave an absolute exhibition in free flowing attacking football and I’m sure a lot of people who were present would agree, fair enough they left it after them but against a very decently listry side who had just come down out of div 2, not bad for a ‘poor’ team

Just don’t think Fossa are as good as people say just because they have Seamus Moynihan doesn’t mean there going to win the junior and if Clifford can be marked they are a very average team

On foilmores run of form and mark griffin to come back I really fancy them to come out of that group Castlegregory a poor side you must be joking they are a really good side and to say they are bad because they lost the Junior Final to Listry makes no sense. I was at the Fossa v Castle game and Castle were outstanding on the day

On foilmores run of form and mark griffin to come back I really fancy them to come out of that group But they will have clifford for champ so would be surprised if they don't come out of group 3. And who is going to mark clifford. He needs be double tagged at this level Local press predicting firies come out group 1 ahead beaufort. Hard to see that one

Outside of Clifford who do Fossa have? They won the junior two years ago but many of that team have moved on.

Hard to see that one Foilmore have an advantage of all the other teams in this group as they have mark griffin to mark Clifford I could not see Griffin holding him, it would actually be disadvantageous to the chances of foilmore winning that game. They need Griffin active around the middle third to have chance not occupied in their own full back line

They need Griffin active around the middle third to have chance not occupied in their own full back line They are winning without him at the moment so for fossa I think they can afford to stick him to Clifford especially if they beat st pats

Na Gaeil 2-19 Listowel 1-7 FT
Ne Gaeil 2-7 Listowel 1-5 HT
As one-sided as it sounds. Early goals by Diarmuid O'Connor and Jack Barry put the Tralee side in control and there was only ever going to be one winner. Fortuitous goal for Emmets before the break gave some hope but really they were outclassed from the off. Darragh Carmody picked up what looked like a hamstring injury on the stroke of halftime - it was about the only thing that didn't go right for the winners, who look very strong all over the pitch. Second half was a mere procession.

What a performance by st michaels foilmore they are really are a transformed team and massive credit must go to Linus Burke and his management team

St Michaels Foilmore will top group 3, but Na Gaeil are team to beat imo. They put in some performance v Emmetts.

Churchill caused quite a shock beating ballydonoghue by 2 points- I’d have fancied Bally to win that by 6+

Loads of hype around Ballydonoghue. I understand Michael Foley wasn't playing today but that aside is it really that big a shock. What have Ballydonoghue seniors done at county level lately ?

I think it is- Churchill are a division 5 side and are there for the second year running while Ballydonoghue have won a couple of North Kerry titles, are a division ahead and have a couple of Kerry seniors.

It is a shock alright, big result for churchill, 2 divisions below ballydonoghue, also sk rangers beating listry and finuge beating ballymac were suprise results, beaufort would be strong favourites overall, had too much for firies yesterday, them and Na Gaeil in final if they dont meet in semis
