Is there anyone outside the panel that put their hand up during the weekend games? Paul Donoghue, Aidan Walsh and Fionan Clifford were the most impressive outside of the Kerry lads from a South Kerry perspective. Tommy was the only one from Rahillys who stood out outside of Moran and BJ Keane I thought that Jack Savage was outstanding- ok, he missed a few chances but kicked some good scores, laid off good ball & worked tirelessly to the end. I was critical of the chance that he missed at the end but was talking to a mate afterwards who pointed out that he had made the chance himself and also that Rahillys had passed the ball around aimlessly without shooting a few times in the last 5 mins- you miss 100% of the shots you dont take and all that. He did have a very good game as did John C and Paul O Connor for Kenmare. I'm really surprised that Moran has been mentioned as standing out- I'm a big fan of his but thought he was, at best, the 3rd best midfielder on show last Sunday.

Any sign of Jack Savage being called, inside?

I'm really surprised that Moran has been mentioned as standing out- I'm a big fan of his but thought he was, at best, the 3rd best midfielder on show last Sunday. By my count Moran won ten kick-outs in the second half, him and John C were the dominant pairing. There seems to be a different way of assessing established inter-county players when playing with their club. Moran had a good game but didnt stand out head and shoulders because the quality of play was so high really. John C did very well, two points on the board and in the opening 20 minutes he was the main man around the centre of the park. Faded in the final quarter, which is no great issue given his age and the standard he was up against, that's where Con Barrett if he was fit would have been a timely substitute for Strand Road. Brendan O'Sullivan was a big loss for South Kerry around the middle. Strand Road really left this one after them, some of the football they played in the opening was as dazzling as you could hope. All the skills but they just don't seem to have that killer instinct to put away teams around their level in the county championship. That defeat was another demoralising one.

Another stay from the Rahillys game which demonstrates their dominance of the midfield area last Sunday; in the first half there were 18 kick outs of which they won 13- John C won 8 of that total!

South Kerry seem to have retained the ability they had last year in finishing strongly. With the addition of the Bally-Foilmore lads and the Waterville lads that werent part of the panel last year they will be contenders. A few good games next weekend: Sat. 21st May @ 4.00 pm – Extra Time St. Brendan’s v Rathmore at Austin Stack Park - RATHMORE if Mahony returns. Should be close enough. Sat. 21st May @ 5.45 pm – Extra Time Kerins O’Rahillys v Feale Rangers at Austin Stack Park - RAHILLYS Sat. 21st May @ 6.30 pm – Extra Time Kilcummin v West Kerry at Kilcummin - could go either way but the winners will go no further. Home advantage just might swing it for KILCUMMIN Sat. 21st May @ 6.30 pm – Extra Time St. Kierans v Dr. Crokes at Cordal - CROKES, Kierans for the bum deal from the winners draw. Sat. 21st May @ 6.30 pm – Extra Time Kenmare District v Killarney Legion at Kenmare - should be a good open game between two fast, young teams. KENMARE by 3 or 4 points. Sun. 22nd May @ 2.00 pm – Extra Time Milltown Castlemaine v East Kerry at Killorglin - this weekends game should have brought on EAST KERRY enough to win. Sun. 22nd May @ 3.30pm – Extra Time Mid Kerry v Dingle at Killorglin - this could be a cracker but MID KERRY should be even better after a game together. Sun. 22nd May @ 2.30pm – Extra Time South Kerry v Austin Stacks at Caherciveen - SOUTH KERRY should have enough for a Stacks team weakened by injury Predictions! Rathmore Kerins O’Rahillys Kilcummin Crokes Kenmare East Kerry should have enough Mid Kerry vs Dingle too close to call - Draw South Kerry

After watching St Brendans last Sunday I think they will struggle big time against Rathmore. They were missing big players in the two Barrys, Daniel Collins & John Egan. Rory Horgan came on (a bit too late in the day) and I thought he made a big difference when he came on and steadied the full line big time. Trevor Wallace also came on as well. I presume Brandon Barrett will be missing this weekend as well. Without the hurling guys I don’t see how they will be competitive.
They didn’t start well in the last game but recovered well up to half time but they didn’t show up for the 2nd half at all and they kicked some awful wides as well. Yet another team afflicted by the need to bring up the keeper to take the frees and they got worse as the game went on.
They couldn’t handle Steven O’Brien at all, when he wanted to he went through them like a dose of salts. I was also impressed by Sean O’Shea (the minor) and Spillane at midfield kicked some good long range points. Kenmare started well but seemed to go to sleep but they woke up again after half time and upped the ante. Paul O’Connors goal at the end was a thing of beanty, outside of the foot from about 25 yards to the right of the goal & flew into the top corner on the opposite side.
In the other game Strand Road started brilliantly and kicked a number of well worked slick points. John O’Connor at midfield and Ferguson at corner were very prominent players in the game. They also dominated midfield in the 1st half. Paul O’Sullivan couldn’t handle Barry John Keane at all and they had to put Killian Young on him. Tommy Walsh seemed to be moving more freely and had a good game although he did miss open goal lust after South Kerrys 2nd goal and that might have swung momentum back their way. Paul O’Sullivan ended up on him for a while and this was a mismatch height wise and it was duly exploited when a missile was launched towards the South Kerry goal and he fielded brilliantly and buried it. Jack Savage had a good game overall but he missed a chances at the end to level it.
Yet again Strand Roads recent failing of conceding soft goals raised its head, the 1st and 3rd goals especially. If they come against any sort of a forward line they tend to ship soft goals. They really need to sort this out before they will be contenders.
South Kerry has strengthened considerably since last year. Courane is a good goal poacher that they were lacking last year. When the lads that were missing the last day come back they will be very strong. Their defence didn’t seem as tight as last year though. There seemed to be more space to exploit because the half forwards were playing higher up the pitch than last year.

How has Daithi Casey been getting on in midfield in the last few games? Kerry badly need a running option in the middle of the field, he could be worth a shot.

I think with regard to the south Kerry defence, they will improve once they have all their players back. Adding 2 Kerry players in Denis Daly and Mark Griffin as well as a Kerry u21 in Brian Sugrue to a defence which already has 2 players who are around the Kerry panel in Killian Young and Paul Sullivan as well as Kerry u21 Fionan Clifford, they will have plenty of options then

I hope Crokes get a good tough game from Kierans. They need it. It will be an interesting selection when Buckley is fit. I presume he will go midfield and either Daithi Casey of Eoin Brosnan will move position. Brosnan could go to center forward but will Gavin O'Shea be dropped. It's a good headache for Pat O'Shea. Luke Quinn and Gavin White are back in the reckoning in the backs too. Rathmore and O'Rahilly's should win. Kenmare should win. East Kerry should win. Mid Kerry might just shade it. Kilcummin should win. Im going to go Crokes match on Saturday and then driving to Caherciveen on Sunday . Stacks v South Kerry should be a good one. South Keery just shade it maybe. Hard to call it.

You never know kerrygold id be quietly confident. They have the squad and the manager. Good competition there for places. A good minor team this year also. They should do it but a few teams i would worry about. Stacks always give em a tough game. South Kerry would put it up to them. Legion always raise their game for Crokes. You won't get anything easy from Rahilly's Dingle and Mid Kerry so there is teams there that will be hard to beat. I will say this they have the best forward line and best bench in the County on paper anyway so it's a question of getting tight in the back line and winning enough ball around midfield.

Well Crokes got the hard game they needed. Well done to Kierans. They put in a great effort could have won it. Crokes were very poor in the first half played better in the second. Crokes have been putting up huge scores and beating teams easy all year so they needed this. Great game.

Attended Brendans vs Rathmore in Tralee. A good match, however the Brendans lads will felt a little hard done by with numerous decisions which went against them. Most notable one surrounded the awarding of a penalty to Brendans, prior to which they raised the green flag only for it to be called back for a penalty, despite the advantage that clearly accrued. Penalty subsequently missed, and Brendans went down by 4 in the end. Highlight of this game was Jack Barry at midfield for Brendans - don't think anyone in attendance would disagree that he was the standout performer.
Kenmare and Legion was another interesting one. Never really seemed as if Legion would win this and they failed to build any sort of a platform/attacking threat - how reliant they are on JOD was hugely apparent today. Kenmare on the other hand played a nice brand of football and put together some beautiful attacking play. O Shea on the 40 has been very impressive in their last 2 games, and Killian Spillane put in a good performance today as well. Even when they were reduced to 14 when SOB was given a second yellow for a pretty innocuous foul, they demonstrated great calmness and game management to see them over the line; a hallmark of a good team.

Current State of play
Gone St. Brendan’s Feale Rangers Kilcummin
Quarterfinals Dr. Crokes Kenmare District
Round 3B Rathmore Kerins O’Rahillys West Kerry
Round 3A St. Kierans Legion
To be Played Milltown Castlemaine v East Kerry R2B => winner to R3B, loser is out Mid Kerry v Dingle R2A => winner to quarter-final, loser to R3A South Kerry v Austin Stacks => winner to quarter-final, loser to R3A
I presume there is a seeded draw in round 3 i.e the 4 teams in R3A can only get drawn against one of the R3B teams and I presume the same will hold for the quarterfinals - none of the 4 teams who won their 2 games to get to the quarters can get drawn against one another. Can anyone confirm?

Round 3 looks like it will surely have some tasty matches with Rathmore, Kerins O’Rahillys, West Kerry, St. Kierans, Legion already there and 3 from Milltown Castlemaine v East Kerry ; Mid Kerry v Dingle ; South Kerry v Austin Stacks to join them.

I believed that this would be the format but I was told last night that all 8 teams in round 3 can be drawn against each other- no seeding- all teams would have won one and lost one.

I agree with you look every team when they win a championship or going for one will look back at a game and say yes we were lucky there. I have watched Crokes this year and some of the teams even in division one have been poor. I think a bit of over confidence or maybe cockiness if you like may have crept into their game. The one thing about Crokes is they are not a big physical imposing team like say a team like Crossmaglen Rangers or Castlebar. That has been their issue in my opinion when they have played teams outside Kerry. They have lost in the physical dept. Kierans were a more physical team and tore into them from the throw in. That's not Crokes game. They like to play it wide use the running game a lot of passing. That's what they're good at and if you give them room they have the players to do that. I was hoping and kind of expecting Kierans to give them that kind of game and they got it. I think a team like Kenmare or Dingle will suit them more in the next round cause they play the same type of game as Crokes. I mean look at the room West Kerry gave them. I would be worried if we get a team like South Kerry.

Referee did cost Kierans a result against Crokes. Some very poor calls throughout the game, didn't even bring his own linesmen for the match, with hold and dragging not being picked up then. How there wasn't a black card for the pulling down by one of the crokes sub on Hickey is beyond me. Got a yellow and 3 more warnings then. A great game to watch, it's not often you see Dr.Crokes have 15 men behind the ball, but they needed to near the end of the game. Kierans no.4 didn't have the best of days either, he was ran ragged by wonderful croke corner forward movement. Well worth the entry fee, for a game that most would have thought would be one sided. On another side then, no Star starting for Stacks v S.Kerry today, carrying an injury maybe?

Dingle must be still shell shocked this morning. 11 up at one stage, 7 points up going into injury time and they manage to lose in extra time. They are usually well able to close out a game so this makes their collapse all the more peculiar.
