Kilcummin will have no hassle overcoming a division 2 side like Dingle!

Kilcummin will have no hassle overcoming a division 2 side like Dingle! They should win but they have been very hot and cold this year. Mike Mac is an awful loss too.

Nothing Personal against the Emmets players but in my opinion it will be a joke if a player can play for 2 different teams in the same championship competition!! The Mitchels saga was different but I will agree that it because of them that these sort of issues are even being raised. If only we could go back to when you're relegated you're relegated and when you're promoted you're promoted!!!!!!

They were deciding last night, whether or not Listowel would be allowed play with Feale Rgs. this year ! Did any one hear the outcome ? The last I heard was that only the players who did'nt play against Legion would be allowed play for Feale Rgs. !
Talking about Feale Rgs, their opponents the next day (St. Brendans) will be without star attacker Stephen Wallace, who is gone to America for a wedding ! He will be a big loss, but they have good forward talent in reserve !

Just heard there now that a vote was taken at the county board meeing last nite and a motion to leave Listowel players play with Feale Rgs. this year was defeated !
Very dissapointed with this decision, even though I'm a Brendans man ! Its a terribly narrow minded decision, which was fuelled by the club sides, who are continually trying to erode the quality of the divisional sides ! The same crowd who voted against this last nite are the crowd who left Mitchels back into the County Championship last year and the crowd who continually whinge about the quality of football in the SFC ! This smacks of double standards !
If Listowel players had been allowed in, you could have been sure that Feale Rgs. would have given the Champioship a right crack ! They will probably go out in the early rounds now !

I wouldnt entirely blame the clubs for this steelfixer. The co board made a farce of the process too. Listowel lost to Dingle in the "Relegation" playoff last year, then they get another "playoff", which is Billed as a 2006 Senior C/ship "preliminary round". THAT should not have happened. If Legion had lost, they would've gone to the 2006 Losers round, but Listowel lost and are turfed out altogether! Seems ridiculous to me. This could've all been solved if the game was billed as 2005 relegation playoff. Listowel lose...fair enuff, play with Feale Rgs for 2006. Legion lose..fair enuff play with East Kerry for 2006....The C/ship needs to be cut down in my opinion anyway. Legion & Mitchels are NOT Senior standard.

The present system is very unfair on the Emmets players, but the mistake has been made and the best we can hope for now is that we revert to the previous system, where the relegated team are relegated.
In the longer term, we probably need a root & branch review of the entire championship in Kerry. Among the changes that should be made are:: 1. Each divisional board have one and only one team in the championship. 2. All senior clubs relegated to Division 3 in the league should be re-graded to Intermediate, all Intermediate clubs relegated to Division 4 in the league should be re-graded to Junior. 3. Play senior clubs teams in the 'club championship' with an in-built loser's round, with the winners qualifying for County final. Play the divisional teams in a 'divisional championship', (maybe without a loser's round), with the winners qualifying for county final. This could be arranged to allow Intermediate and Junior championships to progress with less impact on divisional teams. 4. Relegation playoffs to continue, with a team relegated each year. Relegation matches should proceed at the same rate as championship matches, so that a team would be relegated well before the end of the league. 5. Intermediate champions promoted to senior championship the following year, ditto for Junior champions to Intermediate grade.

I like your points Moth but I'd hate to see the club and divisional teams split up in the county championship as they have often given us quality encounters although I do see where you are coming from.
Not sure about relegating status based on league form either. League and Championship are totally different. I thought the old system of lose 3 you're out win the intermediate your up was perfect. People saying this team and that team is not good enough is rubbish in a sense that each team gets to showcase their talents. Legion were promoted on merit and Mitchell's should have been relegated on merit.

I dont agree that the club and divisional sides should be split up in the Championship theres no need of it. The leagues should not reflect the championships either, the present system is fine.

There's very little relative talk about the championship this weekend on here from most people, myself included.
Does it show the completely lopsided nature of how most of us view football in Kerry? I mean the most topical aspect of the first round game is whether Listowel will be playing with Feale Rangers - and with no disrespect to anyone, that is being driven by our North Kerry brethern who should a strong appetite for any North Kerry GAA matters.
Anyway, for my money:
Austin stacks vs Laune Rangers Austin Stacks Kilcummin Vs Dingle Dingle Rathmore vs milltown castlemain Rathmore bouyed up by their hammering of Stacks at the weekend west kerry vs kenmare West Kerry shannon rangers vs mid kerry Mid Kerry St. Kierans vs East Kerry East Kerry feale rangers vs st.Breandans Feale Rangers now that Stephen Wallace is watching an "I do" in the new country Kerins vs mitcheals Narries

For Me:
West Kerry to Beat Kenmare Feale Rangers to beat Brendans East Kerry to beat Kierans Shannon Rangers to beat Mid Kerry Laune Rangers to take Stacks KOR to beat Mitchels Rathmore to beat Milltown Kilcummin to take Dingle
The only result you can call with certainty is KOR to beat Mitchels. All the others could either way not because the standard is very high but because of the lack of preparation for most of the teams involved. The divisional teams (apart from South Kerry) really make a mockery of this great competition. They have little or no work done for the blue ribbon event in the county calender.
Just noticed I am at total odds to ASABU in the predictions!

I'll go for the following - theres gonna be at least one draw by the way (even after extar time)
Rahillys v Mitchels - Rahillys Stacks v Laune - Laune Rathmore v Milltown/C'maine - Draw West v Kenmare - West Shannon Rangers v Mid - Shannon Feale Rangers v Brendans - Brendans Kierans v East - East Kilcummin v Dingle - Home advantage to shade it for Kilcummin

The one i really struggled with was Kierans vs East Kerry. Kierans have a good defence and midfield but are lacking up front. Seamo and the better forwards to see East Kerry home just. Have you deserted Feale Rangers Buck02 in view of the decision to ban Listowel players?!

My shouts for the 1st round.
Austin stacks vs Laune Rangers: Laune Rgs. (Stacks not going well) Kilcummin Vs Dingle. Dingle(good young team, No Mike Mc for Kill) Rathmore vs milltown Castlemaine. Rathmore(Aidan & Tom Sull available) West kerry vs Kenmare West Kerry(but wouldnt rule out an upset) Shannon rangers vs mid kerry. The annual"what team will Shannon Rgs put out" connundrum! Should def have the players to beat Mid Kerry, but I'd have no confidence in them at the mo. St. Kierans vs East Kerry. St Kierans(capable of some good football, on their day) Feale rangers vs St.Breandans. Feale Rangers, if Galvin, Fitzmaurice etc. are on form. Kerins vs Mitcheals.Narries. A Div 3 team shouldnt be in the Senior C/ship.

Have you deserted Feale Rangers Buck02 in view of the decision to ban Listowel players?! Feale Rangers will basically be the Finuge team I imagine with the odd Duagh & Moyvane player thrown in for good measure. They will struggle up front without the Listowel forwards. Given how well Ardfert are going and add in a few St Pats lads and they'll be a good outfit and should win this one.

Austin stacks vs Laune Rangers: Laune Rgs Kilcummin Vs Dingle. Dingle Rathmore vs milltown Castlemaine. Rathmore West kerry vs Kenmare Kenmare Shannon rangers vs mid kerry. Shannon rangers St. Kierans vs East Kerry. East Kerry Feale rangers vs St.Breandans. Feale Rangers Kerins vs Mitcheals Rahillys
i fancy kenmare to beat west kerry. Beat Ballincollig last week with a depleted outfit and Ballincollig had 9 of the team that knocked Nemo out. Some of Kenmare's players are really on form at the moment.

What happened to Rahillies to draw with Mithchells. I would have expected that to be a handy win for Rahillies

St Brendans 4-4, Feale Rangers 1-9
Apparently well deserved win for St Brendans. They have always had the football talent and perhaps now with good manager in O'Driscoll they can make more progress over next few years.
