You would imagine as long as they avoid each other that its between St Marys and Dromid. Marys won by a single point last year back in Portmagee. They have had a solid year in division 1 with Sheehan back playing fulltime, Aidan Walsh is back too so they will be the team to beat again. Dromid had an decent year in division 2 and with the others slipping look like the only team capable of stopping the 5 in a row

Interesting tweet by Killian Young this evening re the South Kerry Championship. He has a valid point here.
Club fixtures😡. Went out of the county championship last Sunday which was disappointing. Now we move onto the next competition, the South Kerry Championship. QF’s are set for 3/4th & 10/11th Nov. That’s a 5/6 week wait... While we wait, we must continue to train over these weeks to try stay fit and sharp as we adjust to winter conditions once again. The finalists will end up playing in Dec. I really feel the younger generation are going to stop playing this game. A Jan to Dec season is madness. #Gaa #Fixtures

In fairness though you always get a good turnout for the final when it's on Stephen's day ... sure what else would people be doing!

At least Young had the chance to be playing competitive football until now, what about the other 130 or so players not involved with SK waiting since the middle of August for a game. Thats 11 or 12 weeks of training for a match which is madness. Its reckless too, most of the sk clubs are training midweek in Killarney and places as its a halfway ground of sorts for those travelling from Limerick and Cork. Its putting undue expense on clubs and fellas are travelling late at night after a days work/college, especially approaching a time of the year when weather is getting worse. Theres too many old heads in these committees that have little or no connection with the players. I thought running off the Intermediate/Junior/Novice early in the year was to help with club fixtures in Sep/Oct/Nov

I think all this goes to show that there is a case for scrapping the district boards and letting the county board run the fixtures for all club games.
Killian Young makes a great point about the SK championship and if you look at the North Kerry Championship thread it gets worse. They are playing the first round games over 3 weekends there starting this weekend. Its probably over a month since Feale and Shannon Rangers were knocked out of the county championship - what have they been doing since? Really, the county board should be knocking heads together over a situation like this.
County League finished on August 19th and club teams are waiting for 2, 2 and a half months to play again. Back in April and May when lads were up to their eyeballs in exams, some club teams were playing 8 weeks out of 9.

I'm not sure if I agree with your suggestion that the CB should take over just yet- however I do think that if the divisional boards carry on this sh*t then control will be taken from them as they are taking the p*ss out of players with the scheduling

Looks like the South Kerry Championship could be finished before some of the Quarter Finals in the East Kerry Championship are played. If it works out as a Crokes v East Kerry County Final then Munster Club Championship for Crokes and Kilcummin could be over the following three or four weekends. So possibly no East Kerry games till first week in December. Can see a few more walkovers this year.

What are the other boards excuses?

What are the other boards excuses? The East Kerry board have an legitimate reason. South Kerry Board and North Kerry Board don't even seem to have any sort of legitimate reason for the way they are scheduling games. With the way they have scheduled these games, you'd have to wonder if they even realised that there the GAA calender was changed this year. There's also the fact that pointlessly delaying these games increases the odds of poor/bad weather, possibly leading to cancellations further dragging things out. The County Board should be asking questions and taking action if they don't get proper answers.

They have came to a bit of sense down South So they are bringing it forward 1 week, Why not start it next weekend? 2 quarters on the Saturday and 2 on the Sunday. Play the semis a week later and a 2 week break to the final. Instead they are trying to drag out 4 matches over 2 weekends to maximize gate money. This was a token gesture because the CPA got involved. AFAIK the semi finals and final are still fixed for the proposed dates later in November. The crowd doing the fixtures are taking the mick

Dromid beat Sneem/Derrynane yesterday. Early goals from Thomas Curran and Eoin O Leary set them up nicely and they ran out comfortable winners. That was the only 1/4 final this weekend, the rest are on next week I believe

2-18 to 1-1 according to twitter. I wasnt there but talking to a few that were. S/D did well just to field a team, a few past players came back midweek to make up numbers. They are really struggling for numbers down there but I believe they have a few making the stepup from minor next year. Its kind of hard to believe when you see the vast area that they cover, from just outside Waterville as far as Templenoe, that must be the guts of 40 or 50 km. Dromid ran the bench early enough so its hard to know how good they are, hard to look past St Marys again

Id say the sheep to human ratio is quite large!

Well done to Valentia but what a joke of a decision by the ref to have the penalty retaken.Seen this ref a few times and he is very poor,seems to think the match is all about him instead of the 2 teams.

I keep promising myself I’m gonna venture South for the South Kerry championship and I never seem to get around to it. This is a fair scalp for Valentia I’d say. Tight game by the looks of it. Ref again seems to be an easy target. Can a team not lose through their own faults? Pity Renard v Skellig is on the same day as Mid Kerry final as I’d love to head to it! That being said, come on the Rangers today! The Laune is rising!! Bring it home boys!

Skellig rangers 2-7 Renard 1-9
Two quick fire goals in the first half laid the foundations for the rangers victory. Renard hung in there and whittled the lead down to one but ran out of time, could have forced extra time at the end but it wasn't to be.

Waterville found it very tough against Valentia yesterday and it didn’t help things that there interpreter to help Eanna de Buis the manager couldn’t make the game . I’m sure the French manager won’t be over them next year with the record he has had all year An inside joke I assume?

Rangers are a good bit away from being back to their best - they could not beat GG in their own pitch in a MK final and GG without Gavin Grady Their kickout strategy was atrocious and ultimately cost them - kept kicking out to Colin McGillycuddy and Jack Brosnan - very poor game management. Darren Sullivan was absolutely outstanding kicked some serious scores. Not sure where All current optimism for Rangers comes from - will be few years before their underage comes through

I’d say we’re about two years away but a good championship run followed by a strong div 4 performance next year with promotion will have the blue and white army on the right track again. Some good young talent coming through but will definitely take a couple of years. Darran was outstanding today in fairness as was Pa Kilkenny.
