Cheers for that greengold- anyone who is not on the county panel stake a claim for a call-up?? Jack Savage is consistently one of the best forwards in the county championship/div 1- played well again yesterday, 5 points, 3 from play, worked very hard all over the pitch- surprised he is not on the training panel.

Yeah that kinda came as a surprise to myself and others that I spoke to aswell- maybe later in the year. If he has one area that he could do with work then its probably physically so training at a higher level would definitely bring him on a bit

Rathmore 1-18 St. Kieran's 0-20 (AET)
Rathmore ran out 1 point victors after extra time in the first of a double header in Fitzgerald Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Rathmore kicked into the dressing room goal in the first half and were aided by a very strong breeze. St. Kieran's lined out without both of the Hickeys, Maurice and Thomas, two huge losses. Rathmore retired at half time with a 7 points to 2 lead, the first half was poor standard with Rathmore looking that little bit better and more street wise in possession. The second half was a little better and saw Kieran's stamp their authority in the game with Seamus Scanlon and Philip O Connor very much to the fore. Kieran's had reduced the gap to the minimum with 10 minutes left and it looked like they had the momentum to go and win the game. Kieran's eventually equalised thanks to an outrageous score from James Walsh and the drama was not finished here. Rathmore showed their usual battling qualities and were deservedly awarded a penalty for a trip on John Moynihan after great approach play by the same player. Up stepped Eoin Lawlor, there was much debate in the stands as to whether he would opt to kick the ball over the bar with normal time just about up. He went for the jugular but his tame effort was saved by Sean Óg with the rebound falling to a Kieran's defender who gave a sloppy pass and Rathmore turned it over and the ball was recycled to Aidan O Mahony who made no mistake kicking a beauty under pressure to put Rathmore ahead one minute into injury time. Kieran's won the resulting kickout and drew a free 50 yards out with time up....Sean Óg,after kicking a 45 over the bar only five minutes earlier, was given the responsibility to save them and he duly came up trumps slotting it straight over the black spot....coolness personified. Draw game and to extra time they went.
Extra time was free flowing and the best football was played during these 20 minutes. Rathmore once again kicked into the dressing room goals and three minutes into extra time we were treated to the first and only goal of the game when Paul Murphy did very to turn over a sloppy pass and Mark Reen was put through one on one and made no mistake with a low pile driver. Rathmore went in at HT in ET with a 5 point lead but this breeze was strong and the game was not over yet. Kieran's showed tremendous character, especially for a divisional side, and they battled their way back into the game. There was 3 points in it with only one minute remaining when Conor Jenkins was shown a second yellow for a rugby tackle, he foolishly kicked the ball away and the referee brought the ball forward for a 13 yard free. His indiscipline may have cost his side dearly had the Kieran's players decided to go for goal but they decided to take a point to leave Rathmore ahead by 2....I thought it was a strange decision because it didn't seem like they had time for 2 scores but the drama was not over yet! Kieran's kicked a point from the resulting kick out and now it was back to the minimum and it turned out that they had enough time for an attempt to save their championship fate with James Walsh hitting a beauty of a pass to Shane Fitzmaurice, who was isolated on the stand side 30 yards from goal.......but his kick was narrowly wide of the mark and that was it.....TIME UP and with it Kieran's ambition of a county title dead for another year!
Some of the point kicking was of the highest standard, particularly James Walsh, Aidan O Mahony and Philip O'Connor. James and Aidan had a great tussle between each other, James kicked 3 or 4 from play and Aidan had 5 from play!! Paul Murphy played on the forty throughout and was largely disappointing for his own high standards. Mark Reen drifted in and out of the game but overall he did well, John Moynihan always looked a threat and Dean Fitzgerald was a thorn in Kieran's side when introduced. Philip O' Connor had a fine game and didn't deserve to be on the losing side and Seamus Scanlon also did well and won a lot of primary possession. Overall, a very entertaining game it must be said.

It's good to see that they are placing weight on championship performances when it comes to picking the panel.
As an aside- the biggest problem for people making the step up from club to intercounty is usually physicality- the lads on county panels have exposed to a very high level of training and the lads coming in are always a bit behind- this entrenches incumbent players in their squad position and is why we are seeing such little turnover/refreshment of the squad.
Should the county board be looking to have 60 or so additional players on monitored training programmes/ sessions? Doing up a plan for lads isn't that hard as they could mimick the senior panel- we have employed coaching staff so the extra cost of sessions would also be minimal

Nice to see a few of this years U21 panel currently training with the seniors.

I think it's essential to keep the net as wide as possible

No doubt about it, he's been the standout player for Narries plenty of times over the last year or so glad to hear he's getting a look in. My only reservation about him is his temperament - no harm having a bit of fire in the belly, but I feel he's extremely easily wound and this is an area he'd need to work on. Aside from that he's got some excellent attributes, a solid free taker and tireless work rate from corner forward all the way back to his own 40.

Draw for the Quarter Finals this Saturday on Radio Kerry at 2:30pm. In the hat... Round 2A winners: Dr Crokes, Mid Kerry, Kenmare District, South Kerry Round 2B winners: Austin Stacks, Rathmore, Dingle, Kerins O’Rahillys Besides from Rathmore and Kenmare District it's wide open, although those two teams could certainly beat anyone of the others but not another two times I reckon. It was a statement of intent that O'Rahillys laid down on Sunday. The attacking talent they possess is all too obvious but their defence has let them down over the last couple years, not last Sunday which should give them great belief. You can't underestimated the importance of having Ross O'Callaghan back, he's their most solid defender and performed excellently as a sweeper on Sunday. The side will also have Cormac Coffey and Cian Sayers returning from the US for the next round and maybe a fit again Con Barrett, who would be a great man to introduce towards the end of game. You'd never know, the Bishop could be making his way back up Strand Street come October/November/December.

wouldn't write Rathmore off at all. Team that knocked crokes out of county championship before and have won the last two east kerry championships that contain crokes and legion. Rathmore don't get enough credit around the county for a small club they consistently produce kerry minors under21s and seniors. They have about 11 on their panel that have represented kerry in the past

Kenmare District are my dark horses for the championship and could take out any of the perceived big guns en route, namely Crokes and South Kerry, on their day.

I would not write Rathmore or Kenmare off. I think it's wide open . Any of the eight left can beat each other . Every team left gas forwards that can beat you . Crokes - Cooper O'Leary Looney Brosnan Kiely Stacks- Callaghan Collins O'Brien Mannix Mangan O Rahillys - Walsh Keane Savage O'Mahony South Kerry- Walsh Daly Sheehan O'Shea O'Donoghue Mid Kerry- O'Sullivan Walsh O'Grady Carey Sayers Kenmare - O'Connor O'Brien O'Shea Crowley O'Sullivan Rathmore- Murphy Reen Moynihan Fitzgerald Dingle - P Geaney M Geaney C Geaney Bambury Devane Its the back line that performs that can win it cause if you can hold those forwards then you have a great chance. Crokes- Moloney Fitzgerald Milner Brosnan White Stacks - Jordan McCarthy Morgan Walsh O Rahillys - Brosnan Callaghan Sullivan Tierney Thompson South Kerry - Griffin Young Gibson O Shea Clifford Mid Kerry - Kilkenny Hartnett Breen Crowley Kenmare - Morley Crowley Spillane O'Shea Rathmore- Murphy Friel Jenkins Sullivan Dingle - Flaherty Sullivan O'Connor Kelliher

AstroTurf and facilities that would make anyone envious. Far from a small club. Good big catchment area as well.

One of the more impressive defenders I have seen is Patrick Clifford , Templenoe, who has made the Kerry junior team; also, the Kerry players like Star, David Moran, Aidan O'Mahony, Johnny Buckley, U-21s like Killian Spillane, Micheal Burns, will all bring their influence to bear. On a final note, Martin Tierney ( Rahillys) has transferred to a Dublin club.

Why is the county championship not resuming sooner. Thought the original plan was to resume on our exit from the AI. Last year there was a major hoohaw when the games came thick and fast and replays meant players were out week after week. Now that we appear to have space to properly schedule games we are leaving September free and squashing everything into early October - what is the logic?

This weekend: Final Round of County League Next weekend: County hurling final, Senior Club Championship final & Novice games 25th: Intermediate, Junior Premier and Novice Semi Finals 1st weekend in October: Senior Championship quarter finals and Junior semi finals Oct 9th: Senior championship semi finals Oct 16 or 23: Senior championship final
Give the CCC a break, they have done a great job getting the county league finished and all the club championships will be over or at final stages by the first weekend in October.
