Dr. Crokes in final versus one of four. If K O'R lose and the three behind them all win, it will take two weekends to get the finalist.
Glenbeigh-Glencar and John Mitchels relegated. Between Beaufort and Rathmore for third team to make the drop.

Crokes played their last game of the County League last night and beat Spa 2-19 to 2-10. Am I right in thinking they have dropped only three points in the league over the last three years, all to Glenbeigh Glencar?

Am I right in thinking they have dropped only three points in the league over the last three years, all to Glenbeigh Glencar? I thought the final round of the league was supposed to happen same day and same time, particularly if teams involved had something to play for in terms of making the final or relegation. Heard mutterings to this effect when games were fixed for Sunday next at 13.00 - however Spa (until they lost to Crokes) still had a chance of making the league final and Templenoe who play St Mary's on Saturday evening also have a chance of making the league final. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Can anyone shed any light on this? Exceptions were approved where result could not impact on relegation or promotion; Spa losing to Crokes only impacted on themselves, nobody else. Likewise, Templenoe’s game with St Mary’s only impacts on themselves. Kerins O’Rahillys vs Dingle could not take place at a time other than in line with Rathmore & Beaufort games - if Rahillys played Dingle on say Sat night and won or drew, then An Ghaeltacht would have nothing to play for vs Rathmore and thus impacting on Beaufort’s chances of staying up.

Crokes were in everybody's predictions for the final but nobody picked KOR to be their opponents from the outset with Dingle, Gaeltacht and Rathmore the fancies back in March/April.
The three relegated sides all featured prominently in the predictions from the start of the league campaign.
Crokes will be hotly fancied to win the final I would expect - I presume it will take place at some future date when both sides are out of the Co Championship (and possibly Munster Championship if either side get that far).

Sadly Kerry GAA website does not have a history or roll of honour section.

Div 1 Final: Dr. Crokes v Kerins O'Rahilly's Relegated to Div 2 for 2019: Glenbeigh-Glencar, John Mitchels and Beaufort. Disappointing to see the Mitchels going down to Division 2. We gave it our all injuries and lads missing did not help the cause throughout the year.

A good side but I would have had Ross O'Callaghan in at full back - he had an excellent campaign and was usually on the best forward on the opposition side - played extremely well in the games vs Templenoe, Spa and last weekend on Paul Geaney vs Dingle - Cormac Coffey was good but only participated in about 5 of Strand Road's games due to injury/Kerry commitments/suspension. I was impressed with Brian Crowley ( Templenoe) and Mike Stam ( Spa) also during the league.

Think his midfield days are behind him.

The games you saw your club team playing against them? Some of the lads named played about 3 games because of injury. No Brian Sheehan either?? Tommy Walsh at midfield?? Does he even play there. I’m actually disappointed in myself for reacting and posting a comment in relation to this topic. Slow news week I’m guessing

For the record I’d say I was at about 17 or 18 county league Divsion 1 Games this year and I couldn’t for the life of me pick a “team of the year” based on that. For instance, how many times did you see Gary Kissane play in goals for Rahillys this year? I saw a couple of div 2 and 3 games as well. I might click in to those threads and pick my Division 2 and 3 team of the year based on those games that I attended together with a few nanes of lads that I’ve plucked from my arse!

On a separate point, the standard of Div1 this year was attrotious. The games I did see where contested by practically B teams for those clubs involved. I was at one game where one team was down 9 first team starters while the others were missing 10. That was a regular occurrence. Between the seniors, u20s being stopped, lads away in the states and injuries, the standard was poor. It’s fine for the bigger clubs but some of the lesser ones can’t compete when they are without their full cohort. Other teams got to 10 points early and basically downed tools. Rahillys won their last game, which was meaningless for Dingle but if they had been beaten, Rahillys would ave finished second with 13 points. 8 points behind Crokes. There’s something a miss with that.

There’s something a miss with that. With only the top 2 making the league final and Crokes practically guaranteed one spot (for now at least) there is little to play for other than survival (typically 8 points) in D1 - just the dubious honour of having a game against a full strength Crokes and it would appear Spa & Gaeltacht did not find that an attractive proposition. Maybe re-introducing semi finals would make this more competitive. The "interference" of county teams in the club scene is something that needs to be rectified urgently - there was a rule in the past that players played with their club and were only stopped if a (competitive) county game was scheduled within 14 days. Now we have lads on "hopeful" county secondary panels being stopped playing with clubs. Just who does the county board work for - the clubs or the county managers?. The GAA has become totally unbalanced in its slavish pursuit of AI honours, forgetting that its a parish based organisation.

division 1 final fixed for December 2nd - not sure of the logic or fairness of such a fixture Think it’s not fair on either side or sponsors - Crokes will have played 4 competitive games since beating KO’R in mid Oct and probably deserve a break with the O’Donoghue Cup yet to be played; KO’R ‘s only outing since then was the town final vs Stacks. County board deferred the 2014 (?) final to run with 2015 league - a similar set up to open the league next year would probably have suited everybody better. The league finished on the 19th Aug and there should have no problem in having it played the following weekend , instead county board brought forward the county championship- poor planning.

Why dont they scrap the final anyway, its a stupid idea. Crokes won the league at a canter. They are worthy winners. This fixture just seems to clog up things every other year

Yeah I think they will rest players for this .
Brian Fitzgerald David Naughton Jason Lyne and Alan O’ Sullivan could all come into the backs.
Billy Courtney or Paul Clarke could start in midfield.
Jordan Kiely Colm Cooper Mike Potts Jack Griffin and Mark O’Shea In the forward line. Eoin Brosnan and Mike Milner could see time too.

Hard to see anything but a Crokes win in this game - everything points that way. Home venue, good form, training hard with regular games and a huge panel to pick from compared to KOR who's season ended the last time these two teams met and have been treading water for the past 6/7 weeks - are they even training together at this stage of the season.
Pity for the competitions sake that this game is being dumped into a December fixture - first round was way back on March 10/11

Another terrific display by the Crokes!!. Played in tough conditions against tough opposition they came out on top. Showed great character. Another trophy to end the year.
Exciting year ahead for the club. Some of the younger players will be a year older and challenging for places.

Member of Crokes management sent to the stands by referee.What went on there? Pat O Shea tends to try to ref games from the sideline for Crokes but Jonathan Griffin was having none of it and sent him packing. KOR mentor also sent packing later in game for getting in the ear of the linesman - delighted to see officials take a stand on this issue.

Pat o Shea and the Crokes management could have been sent to the stand in more than this game this year. Their behaviour on the sideline is shocking any time I’ve seen them.
The game itself was very enjoyable. High scoring and free flowing for much of it. Crokes looked the better side for alot of it despite being a man down, but KOR have been their most competitive opponents all season by far and look a vastly improved side themselves.
It was played in front of a very small attendance, and you’d question the sense of putting this final on in December when one team has had a long break with no games, and the other team playing competitive championship games all the way through.
