Penultimate round of county league this weekend and we have yet to see ANY senior county player take part in any round. Did they not take part in first two rounds as per other years, no?

The county players have not been available for any games - contrast that to Tyrone according to Peter Canavan in today's Indo who stated that Tyrone senior players have played in NINE county league games of 13 played so far this year.

Round 10 sees Stacks drop to Division 2 confirmed with one more side yet to join them. One back game scheduled for next Friday when Crokes play Miltown Castlemaine with Miltown still in with a chance of avoiding the drop with Mitchel's Rahillys and Mary's all hoping for a Crokes victory - Crokes victory would leave Mitchel's and Rahillys safe with Mary's still a possibility to go down after losing to Rahillys in R10 and having to face Gaeltacht in their final game.

Milltown will find it hard to stay up - Crokes next with Mitchels in their final game - Marys next most vulnerable having to play Gaeltacht in their final game. Mitchels and Rahillys look safe on 9 points with home games vs Milltown and Templenoe respectively to come.

Mitchels and Rahillys look safe on 9 points with home games vs Milltown and Templenoe respectively to come. I follow your logic and would agree with two observations 1/ Round 11 is scheduled for when sides have their intercounty players back and this will impact some teams more than others. 2/ Provided the final round games are played with honest endeavour with the result decided on the pitch.

Austin Stacks relegated again, that is the second time in about 6 years??
I also think Milltown/C are most likely to go, they will get no favours off Pat O'Shea or Crokes anyway and I Don't give them any hope in that game, Crokes have too many players playing for places. If Milltown/C can manage to get a result against Mitchels last day it gives them a chance of a playoff at best. That would be IF Mary's were to beat Ghaeltacht who are fighting for a final spot.

Strange to see a big club like Stacks going down!

How much of an impact did the US exodus have on the teams that have struggled this year? Did many go and which clubs were worst hit?

It had a big bearing on Stacks getting relegated. A few of their more established players travelled stateside, Wayne Guthrie, Greg Horan and Denis McElligott to name a few.

Stacks gave a couple of years in Division 2 about a decade back.

Is it two or three teams that go down?

3 go down. Milltown/Castlemaine always give Crokes a tough game. Surprising Stacks going down. I would not have predicted that. Marys had a big game with An Ghaeltacht left.

Rahillys lost Dave Murphy, Con Barrett, John Ferguson, Gavin O'Brien, Cormac Coffey to the states. The first 3 were back on Sat night which was a big boost with Con having an outstanding game @ midfield.

Bit of a token gesture to have county players for the last round, might be too late for some clubs plus many county players won't show up or care anyway, might as well bite the bullet and play the last round out of the way asap .

Sad that the co.players will only play one round of the co.lge,It's a competition that holds alot of value in Kerry,That will diminish if this practice continues.

Milltown' s loss to Crokes tonight see them 2 points adrift of St Mary's in relegation fight - Mary's play Gaeltacht in last game with Milltown away to Mitchels.

Could see Milltown beating Mitchels who have nothing to play for, but with the Mary's needing a point to stay up and Gaeltacht needing a point to make the final, the odds on a draw in Cahersiveen must be short.

How short do you reckon? I wouldn't be going beyond 5/2, but would quickly suspend the market if any significant bets came in! I wouldn't blame the clubs involved if it was a draw either. They earned the position they have by results on the field. No need to go to war with each other now, especially with a big intermediate semi final between them coming up as well.

Fair play to Gaeltacht. Having no mercy for anyone lately. Sent the Stacks in to D2 in the last round, and sent the Marys to a relegation playoff today.
Could make a good league final with Crokes.

What is the point on having a fixture schedule and then changing it with little notice. Round 11 of league played this weekend but lots of players unavailable as they took the break in the schedule to take a holiday break (including Electic Picnic).
Fixture schedule is a good thing but it should carry some weight to facilitate players having a life - changes should not be made unless absolutely necessary.
This is a prime example of the club players being held to ransom by the county team being wrapped in cotton wool.

In this years case the SF replay meant R11 was played on an unlikely weekend as if Kerry lost the SF first day out it would have been played a week earlier. Makes planning impossible for the "ordinary" club player which only re-enforces my point on a definite fixture list that is stuck with.

We have Legion , Beaufort and Spa joining the division next year. Anyone think these teams could survive or even potentially do a Gaeltacht?
