Whatever about the poor performance of Dingle on the night, the accuracy shown by EK and some of their score taking were a sigh to behold. The 2 Clifford's were outstanding throughout. Could anyone see Paudie getting a run in the league or perhaps making the championship panel for 2020? Has really caught the eye over the last 2 years and I think he is as good an option as what we currently have on the panel. Likewise Dara Roche but I don't see him getting anywhere near the full forward line at the moment!

It would be a fright to carry an all East Kerry final over to Tralee................... all county finals should be played in Tralee for many reasons with atmosphere being the main one. you cannot recreate the same atmosphere in Killarney in a stadium thats only 25% full.

I was delighted to see that St. Brendans changed their numbers from red to white and thereby making them completely legible. Unfortunately, Dingle came along with a blue/navy hoop on the jersey on which was superimposed a blue/black number. That and the lights made it impossible for me to recognise any of their players. I was raging that I did not stay at home in front of the TV. Do the people who design these things ever road test them or is it just a case of whatever looks flashy on a drawing will be sent to market.
It is soul destroying to go the trouble of attending a match , particularly one that is on TV, and then to return home not knowing who played well etc on a particular team. Perhaps, it was the rugby that set my mood for the day!

I was surprised at how poor Dingle were. None of their marquee players played well and I'm not sure what type of a game plan they had. They also seemed to lack any battle for the fight.

I think the attendance for the 2018 final was 12,582 - pretty much a full house in ASP but a sparse crowd for Fitzgerald stadium

I suppose it should also be said that the county final isn't just for people from the participating teams.

In the context of filling a stadium, most club sides would have a small enough following. Smaller again when it comes to divisional outfits. If there's 10-12k at a County Final, the vast majority are going to be neutrals.

Last year was the biggest crowd I had seen at a county final. And there wasnt even a curtain raiser. I'm not sure if the game was on TV and it was a lovely day so maybe that helped swell the attendance.

Read there that Diarmuid O Connor is out for the Brendans next Sunday. He did get a bad fall alright after catching a kickout the last night. A huge loss

if dr crokes dont win the county championship, Austin stacks get put forward.....
i think thats complete and utter nonsense, Crokes are the only club team left and by default, now should represent Kerry. surely its not that hard to put a rule in, last team standing in County championship is the nominated team.
would also mean we dont need to rush playing the final.

Fully agree - it would also dispense with the need to play a senior club championship in April which in my opinion is detrimental to the preparation of our county team - 19/20 players are involved over 3 weekends at the end of a tough league campaign - all just to relegate a team to intermediate - let the last club side standing in the county championship represent Kerry in Munster or alternatively the winners of county league Division 1 should go forward - that then would mean the league has to be finished early & not drag games on all year - final round now due Nov 3rd with the possibility of play offs to determine finalists plus Dr Crokes still in there which may delay matters further - no need anymore for senior club competition in April.

April has to remain club month.The Junior and Intermediate championships are just as big so no choice only run senior championship then as well.As for using the County league as a barometer not a runner when club dont have access to County players for the league campaign.I think the current system is fair and as time goes by you may find the divisional teams may be getting stronger .Churchill have a bustling juvenile system which will only further boost Brendans East kerry will be getting a huge boost next year with either Rathmore or Kilcummin joining them.Senior Clubs deserve a level playing field and I think the senior club Championship is perfect in that sense.Who gets furthest in the County Championship can be complicated if 2 clubs or more make semi final yet divisional team wins Championships.

Who won the club championship or is this still on going . Club championship was won by Austin Stacks back in late April...beat Dr. Crokes by 6 points in the final. Dr. Crokes will represent Kerry in the Munster Club if they win the county championship OR if the championship is not completed before the Munster club game. Austin Stacks will represent Kerry in the Munster club only if a divisional side win the championship. As of now, the Munster club game that Kerry will feature in is set for 17 Nov against the winner of Nemo Rangers or Oola/Newcastlewest. Enjoy the weekend in Killarney and give us a report on the games and the weekend in general when you can.

East Kerry Will be very strong next year anyway (will be supporting them, not as a neutral anyway 😂😂), it also looks like the Liam hassett experiment has failed completely for rathmore (we won't talka bout the decent league though)

Big pressure on East Kerry to deliver today. Should be winning by 10 to 15 I would have to disagree. A 1 point win would do them nicely.

Another two close encounters today - must rate as one of the most competitive county championships in a good few years with several tight games. Draw generates a fixtures nightmare with the final round of the league scheduled for next weekend postponed again (crokes and St Mary's involved in replay) - 24th November next available date I expect and with a playoff required the 2019 league will do well to be completed before years end.

Dr. Crokes v South Kerry Replay in Killarney next Sunday 2:30pm with result on the day required.
Final still set for 10 November, I presume.
Munster Club semi-final for Kerry representative v Nemo Rangers or Newcastlewest on 17 November.
Austin Stacks picking up the training yet?

Follow @johnfogartyirl Sunday, October 27, 2019 - 05:28 PM Dr Crokes 1-15 0-18 South Kerry Dr Crokes and South Kerry will have to face off again next weekend after a Tony Brosnan goal in the second half of extra-time saved the defending champions’ blushes.
Learn more As the gloom descended on Fitzgerald Stadium, Crokes were four points down when South Kerry substitute Dilan O’Donoghue pointed in the opening minute of the second half of extra-time. However, they didn’t add to their account as Tony Brosnan added his fifth of the game and he then bagged a goal in the seventh minute of the second half.
Inspirational for South Kerry yet again, Bryan Sheehan had a chance to win it with a late free after a foul by White on Brendan O’Sullivan it but it sailed wide.
In an ill-tempered affair, South Kerry never went ahead in normal time but on three occasions Sheehan tied up the game from the 47th minute. And just when it appeared Brosnan had won the game when he punished a foul on Micheál Burns, South Kerry substitute Niall O’Shea produced a superb point to force extra-time.
South Kerry were the only scorers in the first half of extra-time, Graham O’Sullivan putting the division ahead for the first time two minutes in then Sheehan kicking a fourth point and O’Shea adding his second.
They hadn’t score from play until the first minute of injury time in the first half when Graham O’Sullivan showed his forwards how to do it. Up to then, they had been guilty of some poor wides, the Dalys Denis and Daniel guilty on that charge.
Dr Crokes weren’t by any means spectacular but Brosnan was lively and he kicked his second point in the 14th minute to put his side 0-4 to 0-1 up. South Kerry were relying on their freetakers and Sheehan obliged with his first of three in the first half in the 20th minute, Barry O’Dwyer causing John Payne difficulties.
However, both O’Dwyer and Crokes’ midfielder Johnny Buckley had to leave the field within two minutes of each other with injuries and with Buckley missing South Kerry took advantage in midfield.
Twice Sheehan made it a one-point game with long-range frees before O’Sullivan levelled matters only for Crokes’ goalkeeper Shane Murphy to float over a sniping free himself to give the Killarney men the half-time advantage, 0-7 to 0-6.
Scorers for Dr Crokes: T. Brosnan (1-5, 0-2 frees); M. Burns (0-3); D. Casey (0-2, 1 free); M. O’Shea, J. Buckley, D. Shaw (free), S. Murphy (free), K. O’Leary (0-1 each).
Scorers for South Kerry: B. Sheehan (0-7, 4 frees); Daniel Daly (0-4, 3 frees); G. O’Sullivan, N. O’Shea (0-2 each); C. O’Shea, B. O’Sullivan, D. O’Donoghue (0-1 each).

Gaelic Football Kerry SFC Round-up: Magic Clifford the difference for East Kerry
Independent.ie Sportsdesk
East Kerry survived a test from a St Brendan's side that had beaten them earlier in the competition, but nine David Clifford points were key in a 1-18 to 1-14 success.
East Kerry made the better start but St Brendan's drew level towards half-time at 0-6 apiece in Fitzgerald Stadium.
A fine ball by Brian O'Donoghue into Glenflesk club-mate Dara Roche led to East Kerry's goal in the 26th minute.
Clifford scored 0-6 in the first half to make it 1-9 to 0-8 at the break.
A 37th-minute penalty for St Brendan's, converted by Niall Sheedy, reignited their challenge as Jack Barry brought them within a point twice near the close.
But nine points from nine shots by Kerry star Clifford was enough to help East Kerry reach a first Kerry SFC final since 1999.
They must wait for opponents as South Kerry and Dr Crokes drew 0-18 to 1-15 after extra time. The replay is next weekend.
