Mid Kerry were much too strong for Stacks last Friday night. Mike Breen and Caolim Teehan were very impressive. Any idea when the draw for the quarter finals is on? Everyone will be looking to avoid East Kerry. St Brendan's and Mid Kerry are the only ones I can see getting anywhere near them, whatever about beating them.

Co minor Championship draw mid kerry v kenmare dist .west kerry v dingle or firies . East kerry v dr crokes . St brendans v feale rangers Obhiously it's East Kerrys championship to lose.. I'd be surprised if they didn't get past Crokes with about 10-15 points to spare that's how good they are. I think if there's going to be any team that's going to stop them it's Mid Kerry.. Mid Kerry will want to go one better from last year with some good forwards in there team.. I think they'll have no other choice but bring Mike Breen back to the half back line to have any chance.. My only worry for Mid Kerry Is there back line as it's quite evident how dangerous the East Kerry forwards are.. I reckon Firies will overcome Dingle and if they perform to the vest of there ability I couldn't see why they couldn't be in a County Semi Final. Wouldn't no much about Feale Rangers or Brendan's so I can't predict that one.. All in all I dont think this years championship has really kick started yet.. Here's hoping that East Kerry don't win it out by a Cricket score

God I hope we can run them closer than that but you could be right too. It was the worst draw for Crokes but you would have to play them anyway to win it. I was hoping get to the final and then maybe in a one off game you never know. I can't see anybody really beating them out of whats there. Mid Kerry are good. Brendans Feale Rangers all have good players but it will be hard. Not only do they have the best team but they have the best bench also.

Weekend success will be forgotten as the county championship resumes this evening. Dingle play Firies in a refixed game from R3, the winners play West Kerry on Friday in the fourth QF. St Brendans play Feale Rangers also this evening. Tomorrow sees East Kerry host Crokes and Mid Kerry play Kenmare District. Dingle V Firies is hard to call but home advantage may see Dingle through and the winners should shade is against West Kerry. St Brendans have a very strong spine to their team with several of the Kerry Minor Panel and should beat Feale Rangers. East Kerry will be red hot favourites against a decent Crokes side (EK selection commented on previously and they have 9/10 of current minor panel). I think Mid Kerry may have too much for Kenmare but the way Sean o Se is playing who knows. Some good games in prospect.

St Brendans beat Feale Rangers after extra time last night, 3-18 to 1-14. Well done to Firies on reaching the quarter finals after they beat Dingle by 7 points.

Tough game for Crokes tonight. I can't see them stopping the East Kerry forwards. It's like a county team. Dara Moynihan Brian Friel Peter McCarthy Ian Roche David Clifford and Dean Fitzgerald that's a county forward line. Mark Ryan in Midfield. Chris O'Donoghue Cian Gammell Daniel O'Brien Connie O'Connor in the backs. Thats a solid team.

Crokes are a good side but should come up short tonight - perhaps they will take heart from KOR U21's of last year who beat the monster!!! Great credit to Firies for showing the ambition to go it alone and they have made it to the QF's after defeating Dingle last night. Division 1 sides (particularly those making the Div 1 semi finals) should play solo in the Championship and not be clogging up places in divisional sides in my opinion.

Crokes have a good team but we are playing the best in Kerry. It's tough for any club side to beat that team.
Nelu Doherty is a very solid keeper for us. Mark Fitzgerald David Naughton Murt O'Shea Sean O'Neill Mike Potts and James McAuliffe will have a busy night. Billy Courtney and Lorcan McMonagle should hold their own. Mark O'Shea Jack Griffin Brendan Coppinger Mark Hartnett David Shaw and Josh Fleming can put up big scores. Shane O'Connor James Kelly Conor Harrington Roan Delaney Donal O'Sullivan Sean Courtney Ryan Casey Evan Kiely Lee Downing and Owen Moynihan are good subs but not like East Kerrys subs.

Dr Crokes performed a miracle tonight - they got within 10 points of East Kerry.

9 point win for East Kerry over Crokes but Crokes well in it at halftime. Introduction of Clifford at halftime over stretched the town sides defence and the switching of O Brien to midfield provided athleticism in that area for the divisional side. Sendings off didn't affect result but Crokes did pass up at least 3 goal chances that could have further tested the Intercounty standard East Kerry team. The Kerry minors could do worse than play a challenge against EK before the Kildare game. Having said that the hostility between Inter County colleagues that spoiled an otherwise clean game might resurface in such circumstances, so maybe not. Who got sent off?

Crokes did ok in the first half. David Shaw was causing them some problems. East Kerry were a little sluggish in the first half probably from not playing together that much being a divisional side. Once they got going in the second half there was only going to be one winner. I can't see anybody beating them. Mid Kerry or the Brendans don't have the backs to stop them either. The only question is who will play them in the Final.

Still find it a bit farcical that 3 senior clubs decided to row in with East Kerry- dont Rathmore have a few Kerry minors themselves? Surely it would have been beneficial to get 15 lads from the club playing at championship level instead of just a handful.

And fair play to them.

galetacht did it a few years ago too, when they were very poor at senior (adult) level but went alone at minor and will reap the rewards at senior level over the next few years in my opinion.
There should be a monitoring of amalgamations and underage level, not just so that one team isnt too strong but so that more decent players are being exposed to a higher level of football.
how many very good players are there in east kerry this year who won't play a minute of co. championship football?

County Board should definitely be doing way more here.

The county board should grasp the nettle once and for all and do away with the clubs and leave it up to the Divisional teams to grow the game for under 7s upwards.

Serious achievement by firies winning for the second time this week away from home.
Great work being done at the club at underage level with some great players. Can see them being a senior club in years to come

East Kerry 0-21 St Brendans 2-4 FT
Was EK 0-17 St Brendans 0-3 with 10 minutes left so St Brendans did manage to make the final scoreline look a bit better but overall EK were in control from the get-go.

Brian Friel and Dean Fitzgerald were also out injured I believe and I'm not sure if Dara Moynihan played either after coming off hurt on Sunday. Well done to Firies on getting to the semi final, two goals on the stroke of half time killed off their challenge last night. Mid Kerry will have it all to do to be competitive in the final.

Think yesterdays minor final just proved that the structure doesn't quite work. If Eoin Rua were also there it would have made a competition of it as they probably had 9-10 starters, but as it stands it was very one sided. TO be fair to Mid Kerry they put it up to them for 20-25 mins and possibly were unlucky to go in behind at half time. They kept D Clifford, somewhat at bay but you had to think he had another gear in reserve if required. Mid Kerry were a very young team and I couldn't believe they had 4 U16s and 4 U17s starting (is there no 18s between the 6 clubs). There were a few stand out performances - I though Dean Fitz was excellent when he came on and O'Brien and Warren dominated the half back line. For MK Fiachra Clifford had a great display and must had secured his minor spot next year, Kieran Kennedy was very strong and must be close to the panel. I was very impressed with Dara Casey in mid and the sweeper Dara O'Connor who seemed to cover the entire pitch, for U16s it was impressive. Some people next to me were saying Laune will go on own next year which seems a shame for a young squad with potential.
