Looking towards Saturdays team,
I'd imagine if all fit it'll be the same as the Cork game however I'd like to see Breen at 6 if Jack persists with Morely at 3.
Can't see Jason being risked.

No curtain raiser listed on the Munster GAA website. The seating area within the stand, and the open area beside it, is limited enough numbers-wise. Message received from my Club PRO regarding tickets said that no stand tickets are on general sale, it's terrace only.

The days of the curtain raiser are sadly gone, I know our minors are out this week, surely that fixture, even if means forgoing home advantage should be on before the senior game.
Sure look at the All Ireland Semi Finals and Final, just one game on the day, I know it's poor fair for the hundred quid handed out.
Even locally, traditionally, the intermediate final was played before the county championship final, even locally that is a thing of the past.. I came across the 1989 county championship programme recently, Mitchels and Laune Rangers, there was three games on that day... Senior, Junior and Novice.

The powers that be have made a series of bad decisions in recent years. The decisions are now coming back to bite them. Dublin are now going for something like 19 Leinster championships in 20 years. The lack of interest by the public is shown in the fact that for each of their last 2 games there were over 60,000 empty seats in Croke Park. The rub is that Leinster Rugby sold out Croke Park in a couple of days.

What’s the advice re travel to and parking in Ennis ? Never been there for a match and bringing my young nephew so want to suss it out to make it as easy as i can— tks Only been there once some years ago for a semi final. Parking was horrendous with limited time parking everywhere not conducive to seeing the match. Hopefully things will have improved but I’m planning to stay with friends in Galway and take the train to Ennis on the day.

View from Collins on the call to agree to the coin toss.
Fitzgerald seems to be doing a very solid job in Clare. Came very close to promotion in the league - lost by a point away to Westmeath. If that had been a draw, they would have been promoted. Given the huge turnover in the Clare panel this year, that would have been a phenomenal achievement.
It will be a very different looking Clare team compared to what we have come up against in recent years. Lots of new names who are a fairly inexperienced bunch at intercounty level and likely will be up against it this summer playing Sam but might well prove fruitful in terms of their development down the line. You'd imagine that it should give them a right boost in terms of looking for promotion to Division 2 next year as the only Division 3 team not playing in the Tailteann Cup.

Kerry team to play Clare:
1 (GK) Shane Murphy Dr Crócaigh 2 Paul Murphy Rath Mhór 3 Jason Foley Baile Uí Donnachú 4 Tom O’Sullivan Daingean Uí Chúis 5 Brian Ó Beaglaoich An Ghaeltacht 6 Tadhg Morley Teampall Nua 7 Gavin White Dr Crócaigh 8 Diarmuid O’Connor Na Gaeil 9 Joe O’Connor Aibhistín de Staic 10 Dara Moynihan Spa Cill Airne 11 Paudie Clifford An Fhosadh 12 Cillian Burke Baile an Mhuillin/Caisleán na Mainge 13 Tony Brosnan Dr Crócaigh 14 David Clifford An Fhosadh 15 Seán O’Shea An Neidín
16 (GK) Shane Ryan Rath Mhór 17 Seán O’Brien Lios An Phúca 18 Adrian Spillane Teampall Nua 19 Barry Dan O’Sullivan Daingean Uí Chúis 20 Dylan Casey Aibhistín de Staic 21 Paul Geaney Daingean Uí Chúis 22 Stephen O’Brien An Neidín 23 Mike Breen Lios an Phúca 24 Killian Spillane Teampall Nua 25 Darragh Roche Gleann Fleisce 26 Armin Heinrich Aibhistín de Staic
A few surprises in my books in this squad. Shane Murphy in goal, Jason Foley in at 3, Brian Beaglaoich at 5 (even though I'm happy with this one) and Tony Brosnan at 13.
Out comes Shane Ryan, Graham O'Sullivan, Sean O'Brien & Adrian Spillane. I wonder how many of these are injury related and how many are tactical or just giving fellas a run. I didn't think Jason would be ready to start and was hoping he'd be rested ahead of the group stage in 2 weeks.

Great to see Jason back. They must be giving Shane Murphy a run and no harm.

Jesus I may forget the exam if I can't read a team sheet. Hopefully he is OK. On a side note has Stefan Okunbor left the panel ?

I haven't heard anything about an injury to okunbar so presume just can't make panel. I do however think Graham is injured. I remember Tony Brosnan shooting the lights out against clare a few years ago. It would make the year for him if he has a good day.

Stefan was injured a few weeks ago anyway.
no word on Graham, hopefully just precaution....and also youd imagine Shane is carrying a knock too

Shane Murphy for Shane Ryan is the big talking point in this selection

Best of luck to Mark Fitzgerald the next day, he was a very intelligent forward, I would have marked him regularly 15/20 years ago. Always very dangerous inside finisher. Always thought goal first. Unlucky with serious injuries. Will be interested to see how they get on against Kerry. Would be a brilliant forwards coach anyway. If things go well for him I could see him link up with Kerry in the future.

Unlucky with serious injuries. Will be interested to see how they get on against Kerry. Would be a brilliant forwards coach anyway. If things go well for him I could see him link up with Kerry in the future. Don't forget, that Blenerville, and Ex Kerry Minor Manager James Costello is also involved with Clare. With regard to the team selection, Graham is obviously unavailable for whatever reason, he has been the most consistent defender all year to date and the link man, or launch pad for a good portion of our attacks. If one slotted Graham into the number two position, I too think that six is the best and strongest defensive unit. Brión for me is a serious kickout option and one player that will never shy away from the responsibility. I understand the importance of giving all players game tine, for every position and in that regard, I take it that is why Murphy is picked between the posts, for me and the majority on here, when comparing pound for pound the Rathmore man is well well ahead of the Crokes man. Actually, in that regard, I'm disappointed Devon Burns will be displaying his capabilities within the pale and not under the watchful eye of local selection committee. Certain players, namely Brosnan and I take it Killian off the bench will see game time, but in all reality, many opportunities may come or be thrown their way, as and no offense to Meath and Louth, most Kerry divisional or senior club sides would fancy their chances against the Leinster duo. Will the true worth be valued, no point in shooting the lights out when wining by double scores, the test will be can they score a solitary point, when teams are level or we are losing by one point and time nearly up..

I think even in a small venue like Ennis we'll be lucky to get a half full venue for the Munster final. 10,000 at a provincial final must be the lowest in a number of years. I've spotted a lot of season ticket holders selling their tickets for Sundays game online which shows the lack of appeal to attend this game from a Kerry supporters point of view. Needs to be looked at by the GAA as it's only going to get worse.

In fairness to Jack he has gone for an attack minded Kerry team mindful of course how defensive and negative Clare will set up under Fitzgerald Costello so don’t expect an open game like last year.Murphy is selected for his superior kick out as ryan struggled in this area the last day.Kerry have to be patient not get frustrated as they navigate their way around the parked buses .clare will have no interest in winning the game this is purely about damage limitation for them so the management can say they did better than last year .clare target is the qualifiers where they will play Cork in Ennis in round 1 They we’re poor in the game v down which was their first acid test in the league and failed to get promoted but in fairness the Munster draw has been kind to them and they will know cork could be vulnerable in Ennis .
