Let see what they can do sure our great five in a row minors didn’t have much success at u20 so you never know. One thing about having three games on the trot is our underage teams always get better the more they play. Also wasn’t there two of Con Brosnan’s grandkids playing for Tralee cbs this year wonder are they any good. One is in with the Kerry Minors as far as I know. Correct a big young lad. Good worker. His brother is a corner forward maybe 19 a Smart corner forward

Good start to the 2nd half after a sloppy 15 minutes before halftime. Luke Crowley has livened things up. With a strong wind at their backs, Kerry should be good enough to win comfortably against a poor Clare team

Good win although hard to judge against a poor Clare side. Cormac Dillon the standout. Showed all his quality, lovely footballer has both legs.

Absolutely Clare were very poor, Having said that the conditions were so bad that it was a bit of a leveller. Dillion and Stack for the first 15 were excellent,like the look of Stack. Bench were excellent, Crowley & Lane were excellent. Hard to gauge next week will tell more.

Rob Stack is a fine player but he does carry the ball into trouble a biteen too often and needs to mind that. First day out though granted. Cormac Dillon was very sharp there now I felt. Kerry defended well as a group. Some good impact from the bench in second half was very evident. Lane, Crowley and Ian O’Sullivan are good players to have coming on. Overall, job done and move on. Much bigger test next week.

A reasonable display against a hugely disappointing Clare side. The most worrying part of our display was an inability to complete a few goal scoring opportunities, tending to try to walk the ball into the net. Something we often see with our seniors as well.
Robert Stack is a good athlete but might be better off getting the ball in faster . In his defence , he tried to carry the ball more often in the first half against the gale which was understandable. More direct in the second half. I was surprised Evan Boyle was taken off so early in the game. Might have benefited from a switch to midfield.
When you have naturally scoring forwards like Luke Crowley and Paddy Lane you should start them. Great to see Luke moving so well after his injury. Not sure where he played but I feel he would be most effective on the forty.
At the risk of being parochial, delighted to see Eddie Healy so prominent . A future Kerry senior for sure.

I didn’t think Evan was hectic tonight Vet I must say. Midfield is his more natural position sure but I think he had a bit to learn about leaving the ball go at this level yet. He’s only turning 18 this year so that’s natural. Given he has spent last few months with Kerry senior hurlers Crowley was never going to start but probably do need him to have any aspirations of success. Eddie Healy is a class act as you say and should have a big future ahead.

From listening on Radio Kerry it sounded like it was played in terrible, terrible conditions. They certainly highlighted Stack's performance linking play and Crowley's big impact coming off to start the second half. First game for a new team and a comprehensive win, you can't ask for more. The auld enemy awaits next week and hopefully that game might be carried on one of TG4's platforms or else on one of the clubber streams available on a certain device (one was showing a game played last night but not Kerry). Well done to the young fellas anyway.

Conditions were very tough with a strong gale blowing but the pitch was in great condition. Robert Stack had a fine game and dominated midfield. The skillful Cormac Dillon (0-7) was most impressive throughout. With the wind in the 2nd half and the introduction of Luke Crowley the game was over as a contest but it must be said that Clare were very poor and were saved from a much bigger defeat by a heroic goalkeeper. Tougher days ahead but a good start.

How does it work now, is it knock out or what V Cork?
Seems a bit confusing.but also seems a bit unusual that teams had their 4th game tonight and Cork and Kerry have their 1st.

As predicted Kerry u20 s got the win tonight in a laboured performance against a very poor Clare team.The lack of mobility and pace in the forwards especially was very evident but not surprising but the touch of class shown by Dillion and Crowley when introduced was the difference on the night .Tomas big call now will he eat humble pie admit some of his selections are way off the levels required and seek solutions from within and outside the current panel because it is hard to see this selection delivering an all Ireland ..But again early days and we will prob learn a bit more after the Cork game and Kerry can never be written off at any level.

The panel is picked and won't change. You'd imagine everybody got a fair chance, some are injured etc and won't be called in.

Thats fair but surely a 6 team group with top 2 into final be even more fair on all teams?

From what I gather there's 2 round robins.
In both phases each teams play each other once.
Phase 1 is the 4 teams that didn't play in last years Munster U20 Final (Clare, Tipp, Waterford & Limerick)
The top 2 go through to phase 2 joining the 2 teams that played in last years final.(This year is Kerry, Cork, Tipp & Clare in Phase 2).
The bottom 2 of phase 1 play off in a Munster B final. (Limerick & Waterford, won by Limerick)
In phase 2, after each team has played each other once, the top 2 play off in the Munster U20 Final.

So complex even by gaa standards! in fairness to Munster Gaa though, they had to do something to try to address the poor standard of football in the other 4 counties. This will provide them with games with a view to helping these counties develop young adult footballers

Not a comment on the game but seeing as this game was in Quilty and Kerry have played before in Milltown Malbay, should the county board ply some more underage games around the county in the likes of Kenmare, Killorglin & Listowel ?

All about attendances, Quilty is in football area I imagine. Taking people an extra hour to kenmare etc is not viable

Kerry a bit laboured in attack, to be expected on the first night out and given the difficult conditions, who would you bring in? Luke Crowley certainly made a difference when introduced, will start the next day you'd think.

Sure the only reason he didn't start is that they are trying to protect him after coming back from injury

Much as it would suit me personally to have such games in Listowel, they really need to be somewhere more central, given the size of the county. ASP is ideal. Quilty can be some chilly spot.

To be fair Evan Boyle is still only 17, playing under 20. I have no doubt he will be a star for Kerry in the future in midfield as he comes from great Boyle stock in Ballyduff , but give him time to adjust and let’s not expect so much of one so young. I wonder is Crowley in the Kerry hurling panel v Westmeath next Sunday in the Joe McDonagh cup or is he fully committed now to the under 20 football panel??

Think Evan Boyle is more than 17 didn’t he play minor two years ago which means he was only 15. How did Kirby play now he is young too only missed the minors by three weeks. Good to see we have three lads who can play midfield at this grade which is good for the future.

I think tomas was trying out three in midfield with Boyle extra but reverted to traditional at halftime in bringing on Crowley. This is going to sound mad but I could see Crowley ending up a centre back. Ferious tackler. Huge arms and turned over clare players a few times

I am slow to criticise any young players but those lads are not u20 level yet but hopefully in the future they might reach that standard but again that is not their fault but you would have to question the management for putting them in the deep end and what that would do for their confidence you can already see in their performances how low in confidence the Mounthawk lads are after their hammering by omagh.I do think that the standard at u 20 level nationally is not great so that gives Kerry and indeed a number of counties a great chance in the competition
