I’m thinking he will go with Joe and barry dan and Adrian on the wing also jumping ahead should he start the Clifford’s early or give them more time I think he should rest them and give a few new lads a chance to see what we got. We have to find one or two more forwards for the championship and can’t be depending on the two lads for all the scoring.

I don’t think the Clifford’s,Paul Geaney + Tom Sullivan should be played until the middle of the league and then have them fresh for the Munster championship. Leave a couple of new faces have a good run of games to show Jack what there made of.

If Diarmuid is out for a bit of the league it’ll be interesting whether it’s Barry Dan or Sean O’Brien who partners Joe O’Connor. Both are good options but both bring something different. A lot could depend on how both fair against a stronger rebel pairing. It’s fairly considered that Joe O’Connor will be the primary man in situ or with a grasp of the number eight jersey, Jack might even go more conservative and I’m actually thinking he will pick Adrain Spillane against Derry. Putting two relative green horns in the mix may be counter productive against an established and powerful northern pair. Sean O’Brien has been impressive but maybe baby steps and giving him twenty minutes or so as a replacement with fresh legs for the Templenoe may be the more constructive option. I wouldn’t be happy with that myself. Neither Joe O’Connor or Barry Dan are new to inter county football. It’s the first game of the league no need to be too conservative. I’d rather lose trying someone with potential in a position than lose going with someone who has no future in the role, anyway I think both Barry Dan and Sean O’Brien would offer us more at midfield than Adrian. Adrian needs to up his performance levels to continue seeing game time in his primary position of wing forward.

There has been an awful lot of discussion about which players should be in the squad for 2024. People see different attributes in different players, but the system in place is producing the players we need. Over the last 5 championships, we won 1, were runners up twice, and in the others were always there or there abouts. The thing that will make a difference and take us over the line more often is the way we play.
The way we played on some occasions in recent years did not do the players justice. So far this year the indications have been great. It is very early days (2 games against weak opposition) but it appears that players are allowed play to their natural strengths and that natural intuition that Kerry players have is evident. The reduction in bulk, which I think applies to a few players is very welcome – we are here to play football not wrestle.
Of all the new players available the one I want to see in the squad and starting is Dylan Geaney. He is a clinical finisher. He has the ability to unsettle any defence. He needs to be given a lot of game time in the league to acclimatise. He deserves to be included in his own right but also a player like that would be such a relief to David.

It was a very impressive set up at the venue. Can't say the same for the rest of the town. My wife stayed in the car reading a book but I ended up leaving early because she was very nervous of the lads doing doughnuts and wheel spins up and down the street. Wild west is right. I am well used to the spicier parts of the capital but it pales into insignificance compared to El Paso. I feel sorry for the decent residents of that town. They've done a great job at Mick Neville Park in Rathkeale. I think yesterday was the first time the stand was open for a match, pitch in perfect condition also. Limerick have a new management team this year and yesterday was their first "competitive" match together. What with injuries, fellas gone traveling, etc. they'd 11 debuts yesterday, they were miles off it and have a lot to do to stay in division 3 imo tbh. Rathkeale has it's issues, but around Christmas time they're inundated with "visitors" traveling from the UK!! Don't know how they get so much time off work! Must have good jobs! I presume it not Rhino Horn theft season at the moment

Looks like there is a dispute over the venue for the McGrath Cup Final. Originally fixed for Austin Stack Park, during the week it was rumoured to be moving to Páirc uí Rinn.
Today Munster Council Twitter account says "Munster GAA McGrath Cup Football Final OfficialCorkGAA v Kerry_Official Friday January 19th at 7pm Venue to be confirmed on Monday by the Munster CCC"

2020 Group B, Kerry v Cork in Austin Stack Park.
2022 Final, Kerry v Cork in Fitzgerald Stadium.
2023 Group A, Cork v Kerry in Páirc Uí Rinn.
Is home advantage in the group stage on rotation and home advantage in the final a home-away arrangement for the final only?

Is home advantage in the group stage on rotation and home advantage in the final a home-away arrangement for the final only? 1st paragraph in the Examiners report of Corks win vs Waterford today was as follows: "Cork are through to the McGrath Cup final against Kerry in Páirc Uí Rinn on Friday night." This would lead me to believe that there must be a strong feeling that the game will be played in PuR. However most people I've spoken to in the last week were convinced it was in Tralee due to the fact we had played them in Cork last January. Venue to be announced tomorrow night but I'm expecting it to be annouced in Pairc Ui Rinn.

Game will probably be streamed on Clubber anyway. TG4 showing the FBD League Final live on Friday night. But they could pull the game from Clubber and put the game on YouTube.

It is on Clubber indeed as far as I'm aware. Apparently Cork refused to travel to Kerry as it would give Kerry an advantage. Severe mental frailty in my opinion, they are basically saying we are not good enough to win in Tralee. We're moving the day after the final so I will have to convince the missus to let me go.

Limerick v Cork here in Rathkeale on Wednesday is completely sold out. Talking to the Limerick crowd they are determined to demolish Cork. Might not come to that, but tempers are definitely very high for a preseason game in January.

I had earmarked Friday night in Tralee as my maiden Kerry voyage for 2024. Cork have thwarted those plans.
Cork , down the decades, never bring an ounce of good faith or honour to fixtures/venues. Always looking for a petty advantage by sleight of hand. The precedent is set in the championship , home/away alternates regardless of whether it is the semifinal or final. Shame on them.

Last 4 games between the counties have all been in Cork venues if you include Fridays game. Kerry definitely due a home game. In unrelated news but as we're on the topic of Cork home venues, Pairc Ui Chaoimh is to be renamed Supervalu Park this week in a names rights deal worth between €250k - €300k per annum to Cork.

Saw that. Supervalu is definitely not what they got out of that white elephant. Still prone to flooding, still in debt, still no parking, value for money it ain't, let alone super value.

Can someone explain why a move of venue.
Is it just a case of hone vs away but different agreement for McGrath Cup games but different agreement for Final.
We played last year in Cork, but that was a round one game, we played on Killarney in 2022 but that was a final.. is that the defining criteria?

I find it strange that any team would worry over a venue for a glorified challenge match. To me it shows a serious mental frailty and sends a bad message to players. What happens when they have to travel to Killarney and face a full strength team. Going forward the CCC should just decide on the venue and be done with it.
