If you look at the make up of the underage championship, you have Castleisland district, Eoghan Rue and East Kerry ... it is more evenly balanced. Then again we were all spouting how "unbeatable" EK were and after round one they are gone. There is an imbalance when you compare the number if clubs in some divisional sides when one compares Feale Rangers, EK, Mid and South. Then you also have to take into consideration the likes of Tousist and Kilgarvan who initially were division less... It’s not even that they are unbeatable, it’s more the level of top clubs and really good players not getting exposure. One of the more odd things that I have advocated on here is a points system for divisional sides. So that intermediate teams would be 3 points, junior 2 and novice 1 with divisional sides having a max leg points spread across their teams. Recently relegated senior teams would come down on 4 points for 1 first year

I didn’t see this stacks game but I have seen them play a lot over the last few years and I have consistently been saying that they are the coming club in Kerry due to the strength of their underage set up. I’ve only seen Joe o Connor play a few times but I’ve always been impressed and lads I know rate him a level above Jack Barry so I’d not be surprised to see him heavily involved next year. On the other players mentioned as playing well: Jack o Shea is a very tenacious defender and I have been impressed by him before but I don’t think he’s at county level. I think Greg is a tiny bit below county standard aswell but I have always been impressed with how he plays with his head up so the potential might still be there to make up for the lost time caused by his injuries. I can’t say I know much about Dylan Casey so can’t comment. On the dirtiness that veteran referenced, stacks have been bringing that ‘edge’ for a few years now and I’ve complained about it on here previously. There’ll be a lot of grappling off the ball and trash talking but they’ll keep on doing it as long as they get away with it. While I don’t like to see it, it’s up to the rules to police them Stacks are only going to get stronger. They have been and are the best team in the county in most age groups. In recent years they’ve had a large number of Kerry minors and that is only going to continue. Add those players coming through to Joe O’Connor, Dylan Casey, Michael O’Gara, Sean Quilter, Armin Heinrich etc. who are already established at Senior level and Stacks should be very strong for years to come. An All Ireland Senior club title is surely their aim. Yeah I agree, Stacks are where Crokes were in the mid to late 00s. Lots of good players coming through after years of very strong underage teams

Joe will play a number of league games. JackO will be called into extended panel, at least. I've said it on the forum in another thread that a number of squad players and a few on the team were being picked on reputations earned years ago. This WILL change now.

Half time score
Kenmare 0.07 Brendans 1.01
Kenmare totally dominant in the first 10 minutes and were 3 points up.
Brendans then got a goal when a hand got to a shot for a point and deflected it past the keeper.
The rest of the half was even enough. Diarmaid oConnors well taken penalty was expertly saved by Fitzgibbon.
Kenmare finished stronger in the half but it looks like Brendans will have the breeze in the second half.
Game played in the wind and rain.
Kenmare look to have more quality in the forward line but its a day for big hearts and it can go either way.

Final score Brendans 2.09 Kenmare 0.10 Strong second half from Brendans A brilliant goal on the restart really set them. Fullback Trevor Wallace ghosted up to set up the goal for cornerback Enda oConnor! Kenmare stuck with them till the waterbreak. Just after the waterbreak Diarmaid danced forward soloing with the right and then swinging it over with the left. It was the signal for Brendans to up a few gears and Kenmare had no answer. Some very strong performances by Enda oConnor, Trevor Wallace, Dan Goggin and Kelliher, Andrew Barry, Daithi Griffin, Diarmaid and Jack Barry. SOS tried his best but without enough support. No sign of Stefan. I missed the team sheet at the start so i dont know if he was togged out.

Brendans were worthy winners in the end. No doubt the two goals they got and the timing of them were crucial. Both teams struggled when they were playing against the wind but the two goals meant Brendans were still in touch even though they only had one point on the board just after half time.

SUN, 31 OCT, 2021 - 17:33 MURT MURPHY, FITZGERALD STADIUM Kerry County SFC: St Brendan's 2-9 Kenmare Shamrocks 0-10
Divisional side St Brendan's powered to a deserved victory in the final quarter of their Kerry SFC Round 1 encounter with Kenmare Shamrocks in Fitzgerald Stadium. They struck for two goals that were ultimately the difference between the sides as the lack of depth in their club opponents' ranks proved to be Kenmare’s undoing.
With the aid of a breeze, Shamrocks took the early advantage, leading by 0-4 to 0-0 after nine minutes, Sean O’Shea having kicked a peach of a point for the game’s first score after 90 seconds.
But St Brendan's were level by the first water break. James Duggan’s 11th-minute attempt at a point may have been caught by the wind but Liam O’Donnell was vigilant to the dropping shot in fisting a goal to get them off the mark.
Thomas Kearns levelled the scores up at the first water break (0-4 to 1-1) but Kieran Fitzgibbon made a big save from a Duggan penalty in the 23rd minute. It allowed Kenmare to take a half-time lead of 0-7 to 1-1 but their reliance on O’Shea for scores was becoming more obvious as the game wore on.
He scored their only three points in the second period, all from placed efforts, as St Brendan's were more clinical at the other end.
Defenders Trevor Wallace and Enda O’Connor combined for St Brendan's second goal in the 33rd minute from O’Connor as the sides were level at the second water break 2-4 to 0-10.
Brendan's ran their bench to great effect in the second period, best illustrated by Mikey Kelliher who scored three well-timed points after Diarmuid O’Connor had put them ahead in the game for the first time in the 48th minute.
Kenmare went in search of goals in trying to rectify matters but the St Brendan's defence held firm in with Andrew Barry putting in a massive display at centre-back for the victors.
Stefan Okunbar was named among the St Brendan's subs but did not feature in a win that gives them good momentum to take into next weekend’s quarter-finals.
Scorers for St Brendan's: L O’Donnell and E O’Connor (1-0 each), M Kelliher (0-3), T Kearns, D O’Connor, D Griffin, D Goggin, A O’Donoghue (f), J Duggan (f) (0-1 each)
Scorers for Kenmare Shamrocks: S O’Shea (0-6, 4f, 1’45’), D Hallissey, S O’Brien, T Murnane and P O’Connor (0-1 each)
ST BRENDAN'S: E O’Brien (Churchill); E O’Connor (Na Gaeil), T Wallace (Ardfert), D Bourke (Na Gaeil); F Barry (Na Gaeil), A Barry (Na Gaeil), T Kearns (John Mitchels); D O’Connor (Na Gaeil), J Barry (Na Gaeil); L O’Donnell (Churchill), D Griffin (Ardfert), F Mackessy Ardfert); D Goggin (Na Gaeil), A O’Donoghue (John Mitchels), J Duggan (John Mitchels)

SUN, 31 OCT, 2021 - 16:19 JOHN O’DOWD, AUSTIN STACK PARK Kerry County SFC: Dr Crokes 0-13 West Kerry 1-3
ALTHOUGH they never hit any real heights on a truly horrible day for football, Dr Crokes recovered from the concession of a third-minute goal to eventually power on and comfortably subdue the challenge of a game, but limited, West Kerry outfit in this Kerry SFC opener at Austin Stack Park in Tralee.
With a depleted panel, the divisional side made a stunning opening against the strong wind that prevailed all day when the outstanding Eanna O Conchuir picked up the ball on the right wing and set off on a blistering run before finishing superbly to the back of the Dr Crokes’ net, even if the final touch might have come off a retreating defender.
Such a tremendous fillip gave West Kerry something to cling to for the remainder of the half as Dr Crokes, despite plenty of possession, struggled to get any real structure to their attacking play. The sides were level at the first water break (0-3 to 1-0), with an excellent 45-metre point from David Shaw the pick of the scores, but they would not have been satisfied with that opening quarter.
Having received a blast of the managerial hairdryer, the Killarney side picked it up, for a spell, with four unanswered scores, before goalkeeper Shane Murphy was almost picking the ball out of the net again, when Cathal O Beaglaoich’s fine left-footed effort from the left wing dipped just over, rather than under, the crossbar.
A Micheál Burns white flag completed the first half scoring, but even with just a four-point cushion at the break (0-8 to 1-1), Dr Crokes, without pulling up any trees, appeared to be in control of their own destiny. In truth, the second half was hugely disappointing as West Kerry just couldn’t get their hands on the ball, as the cuteness of the former All-Ireland club champions again came to the fore.
With veteran wing-forward Brian Looney covering every blade of grass, aided and abetted by other seasoned stalwarts in John Payne, Fionn Fitzgerald, Johnny Buckley and Kieran O’Leary, Dr Crokes totally took the sting out of the opposition, and when they decided to put their foot on the pedal, they fired over four quick points before the three-quarter mark (0-12 to 1-1).
Cruising over the finishing line in the end, Dr Crokes showed that, while they might not be the indefatigable force that they once were, they still maintain the raw ingredients that previously propelled them to Bishop Moynihan Cup glory. With champions East Kerry out of the picture, you can be sure that Edmund O’Sullivan’s charges will be sniffing another potential title.
Improvements will need to be made before next weekend’s quarter-finals, but the game management of these experienced campaigners was still very much in evidence, although the sight of county star Burns limping off in the closing stages will be a slight worry, though it looked a precautionary move.
Scorers for Dr Crokes: D Shaw (0-4, 3 frees); M Burns (0-3, 1 free); K O’Leary, T Brosnan (frees), J Buckley (0-2 each).
Scorers for West Kerry: E O Conchuir (1-0); C O Beaglaoich, C O Muircheartaigh, C O’Grady (mark) (0-1 each)
DR CROKES: S Murphy; J Payne, M Moloney, F Fitzgerald; M Cooper, G White, D Naughton; M O’Shea, J Buckley; E Looney, M Burns, B Looney; T Brosnan, D Shaw, K O’Leary.
Subs: D Casey for Buckley (57 mins), T Doyle for Burns (57 mins), J Kiely for O’Leary (60 mins), C McMahon for Brosnan (60 mins), H Potts for Cooper (60 mins).
WEST KERRY: T mac an tSaoir (An Ghaeltacht); C O Muircheartaigh (An Ghaeltacht), A Mac Amhlaoibh (An Ghaeltacht), A Finn (Annascaul); P Og O Se (An Ghaeltacht), B O Beaglaoich (An Ghaeltacht), C O’Connell (Castlegregory); C Moriarty (Annascaul), E Hickson (Annascaul); C O Beaglaoich (An Ghaeltacht), T Moriarty (Castlegregory), T O’Donnell (Castlegregory); M Manning (Lispole), E O Conchuir (An Ghaeltacht), C O’Grady (Castlegregory).
Subs: PJ Mac Laimh (An Ghaeltacht) for O’Grady (17 mins), C O Murchu (An Ghaeltacht) for Moriarty, injured (30 mins), M O’Connell (Castlegregory) for Hickson (41 mins), G Noonan (Lispole) for C O’Connell (52 mins), O’Grady for O’Donnell (52 mins).
Referee: P Hayes (Kerins O’Rahillys).

Excellent report Veteran. Con Houlihan used to say that in his youth people “saw” All-Irelands on the radio. I see these club games in your reports. Your report on the Austin Stacks vs Kenmare game also lauded the Stacks defence. In both reports, I got the impression that it was good old fashioned tight marking. It would be great to see it coming back. Is this correct or do they pack the defence? The positioning of KD late in the game when EK were down to 14 would not in itself mean they were putting men behind the ball. It appears that there are a few players that must be “brought in” by Jack.

You watching your boys against Mid Kerry? What was the loss down? it was a poor enough game played in poor conditions horse, not a whole pile to report really, we won it without playing well, I expected a lot more from mid Kerry, saying that Sean O'Brien stood out, I thought Jack O'Connor was good as was Pa Kilkenny. For us Gavin Curran in goals , the 2 Tom Sullivans Mikey Geaney and Durrant were very good Paul Geaney is a mystery, he shows flashes of genius followed by taking on a crazy shot or pass, Billy O'Connor was a calming influence when he came on. Did you go to the Shannon rangers or St Brendans games horse?

Conor Jordan and much later Jack O'Shea is what I'm led to believe. I would have expected Jordan as a sweeper in front of Tommy and Jack on Jack David Moran was injured so Tommy played midfield.

No i didn’t, came off the night shift and was on the way back to Churchill, for the U15 county semi final against Mid Kerry, these games along with the minors are way way more enjoyable. Was just near Hermits homeland when the call came through that the game was off, so went home had the breakie and got some kip. Listened to snippets on Radio Keery, but truth be told you could have guessed the north divisional team results. Actually Hermit, now with Kieran’s, Feale and Shannon Rangers out there is no reason to delay the North Kerry Championship, I see no reason why this couldn’t proceed from Sunday week.

The Stacks players have been discussed but did anyone else give Jack something to think about with their performances? Particularly from the losing sides as obviously none of those players will be seen again this championship.

Half time score Kenmare 0.07 Brendans 1.01 Kenmare totally dominant in the first 10 minutes and were 3 points up. Brendans then got a goal when a hand got to a shot for a point and deflected it past the keeper. The rest of the half was even enough. Diarmaid oConnors well taken penalty was expertly saved by Fitzgibbon. Kenmare finished stronger in the half but it looks like Brendans will have the breeze in the second half. Game played in the wind and rain. Kenmare look to have more quality in the forward line but its a day for big hearts and it can go either way. It was Duggan who took the penalty I believe. Diarmuid was fouled for it.
