There genuinely aren’t enough * in the world to cover the swearing that would allow me to evaluate that match. Game was very poor fare- some of the individual performances were of such poor standard that I don’t even want to comment on them. Bryan Sheehan lorded it at midfield- enough said

Not often I get to see 4 club teams in action on the 1 day.
Thanks Eir Sport.
Great stuff from analysts BJ Padden Marc O Sé and Star.
The fact that Bryan Sheehan got MOM in the first game and Gooch in the second says a lot.
Few on show for a shout in the NFL next year?
Brendan O Sullivan, Brian O Beaglaoich, Young Brosnan for Crokes, O Conchubair Eanna? I hope to God we find a full back during the League and release the beast that is Mark Griffin.
Crokes Keeper Shane Murphy STOOD OUT A MILE TODAY What a belt of a ball this young man has.
Crokes impressive today no matter what way you look at it.
Pat O Shea has the Crokes youngsters primed and ready and fair play to him.

That was my read anyway?

No way did Sheehan lord midfield. He actually had a poor game today in my book. How he got man of the match was a mystery to everyone near me in the stand. Moran was by far the best midfielder on view. Crokes to win the final by 8 or 9 points.

But David was anonymous for the first 30.
Yes he came in to it in the second half but for a County Midfielder you would expect more surely?

My MOTM was probably Paul O’Sullivan who had Jack Savage in his pocket.

Sheehan integral part in most things South Kerry did well. Obviously his free taking was unusually bad (injury he had coming in to the game must have been a factor). Surprised it took so long for Paulie Donoghue to get a chance at one. Paul O'Sullivan excellent as you say, he epitomised the tenacity and spirit that South Kerry have shown for years now in these big games.

Sheehan is probably still the most valuable player in Kerry club football. Crokes are light years ahead of a very poor chasing pack at senior level in Kerry. Moran and Sheehan apart the county players didn't look interested today. Probably harsh but none of them stood out. TW obviously carried a heavily strapped hamstring into the game.

The first game was not good. Lots of individual mistakes, poor passing, poor handling, poor shooting. Did the fact the game was live on TV get to a few players perhaps?
South Kerrys backs were well able to get a handle (literally a lot of the time it has to be said) on the Rahillys forwards. Paul O Sullivan is a sticky back. Rob Wharton was not as good as he was the last day out. They have top quality subs who have all played for Kerry to come on - Niall Shea, Oran Clifford and Ian Galvin all made impacts.
David Moran came into the game in the second half. If Sheehan had his kicking boots on he would have scored 8 or 9 points. Rahillys had the wrong man on him, I would have stuck Cormac Coffey on Sheehan.
People on here calling for Jack Savage to be centre forward for Kerry will have their eyes opened today. Barry John, well he was Barry John. Missed a 20m free in the first half in front of the posts, kicked a brilliant point from play in the 2nd half. His free in injury time that he scored, he kicked it off the outside of his boot. He got a free from the exact same position to level it and shaped up totally differently and tried to curl it over off the inside of his boot.
All in all there was very little between the two starting 15s but South Kerry had players to come and make a difference while Rahillys didnt (incidentally, it was the same for Rathmore 2 weeks ago).
The second game failed to catch fire. Once Tomas O Se went off the game swung totally Crokes way. When Hickson was sent off it was always going to be a case of Crokes playing champagne football as they had oceans of space in the last 20 minutes.
Crokes were generally very sharp and didnt waste many chances. The gulf between themselves and the other club and district teams was summed up today. West Kerry brought on a young fella who was a sub for the Kerry minors this year (in fairness to him, he did fine when he came on). After this sub was made Crokes brought on Jordan Kiely, Shane Dolan, Ambrose, Paul Clarke and gave David Shaw a run out. Chris Brady and Leary werent available.
Eanna O Connor was probably West Kerrys best players and could be worth a look next year with Kerry. Begley marked Gooch in the first half and tried to drive up the field as much as possible. He is needed in the Kerry full back line next year. Gavin White has to get game time on the league. Daithi Casey is worth another look too.

I too thought Moran was the best of the midfielders on view as he was being fouled a lot of the time when going for the ball without getting frees; he was quiet in the first half but had a fine second half - Sheehan was involved a lot but failed to deliver - 3 wides from play and two "50"s off target - not MOTM.

I’d have to agreed with the lads here regarding Moran, I thought that he was the best midfielder on view followed by Sheehan in the second half. I thought Moran was away ahead of BOS, maybe he was nursing a knock that he picked up in the first minute but Moran was miles ahead of him. South kerry wouldn’t have won without Sheehan but he was far from MOTM for me anyway. The strand road stars were kept well under wraps by a more physical sth kerry side. In fairness it was a terrible game of football for a semi final. The second game was of a higher standard, the crokes were always in control & once it went to 14 v 15 it was curtains. Eanna o conchubhair looked impressive & should get a run in the league, crokes were playing with them at the end with half their first team in the stand. It’s frightening for the rest but it looks like it’s crokes to lose that is unless killian young & Denis Daly are going to add 50% improvement to sth kerry.

Moran fielded well but I thought he didnt contribute as much from open play. Sheehan unusually left the shooting boots at home but he was good from general play and set up alot of attacks. He seemed to glide past players at times. I think Rahillys forwards did well considering they were living off scraps. Dont think they have the strength in dept to challenge though. Huge amount of turnovers and heavy tackles today, thought the ref could have easily shown 3 or 4 black cards. I cant see SK coming near the Crokes in the final. The Crokes were in second or third gear today, they have such an amazing understanding between their players and their keeper is excellent at pinging balls around. Maybe the Gaeltacht players lost their focus a bit with the intermediate final coming up.

I just can’t accept the missing of the 21 yard free- that’s the second championship game in a row where it has happened. Like all jokes aside- you’d castigate an under 14 for it- it’s inexcusable

On todays performance Jack Savage would not be an integral part of the Kerry set up Buck02.
But lets be fair he was singled out and marked accordingly. Kudos Sth Kerry.
But for me he is one of the few that put a lámha suas during this years Snr Championship so I wouldn't be knocking him too much for his performance today.
Put Jack in a team of winners and I am confident that he will be a part of that.
For me he is a deffo during the NFL next year .All he can do is play himself OFF the team.

For me definitely one for the future . And I don't say that lightly in his case. His attitude is decent too." I might look small but be aware I am NOIT small" Bring it on Jack...

if KOR were to play like that against the crokes they’d be beaten by 15 + points. At least south kerry potentially have 2 kerry players to come back on that team but I think that’s as good as KOR can do team wise. Even with the two lads I still don’t think they’ll come within 6 points of the crokes but they do have big players in main positions that may curb the crokes for a while. As someone said already it looked like the crokes were in second gear, I wouldn’t go as far as that but being able to bring the likes of Clarke & Kiely off the bench shows the strength in depth that they have. KOR were very disappointing, I thought they were going to be the team to put it up to the crokes this year, Tommy Walsh’s injury has had a massive effect on them as they’re a different team when he’s fit,

Jack Savage will be in the frame for Kerry looking to step up. South Kerry have players to frustrate Crokes if they set up defensively but they won't out score them at the other end. Crokes all the way.

Moran was very dominant from restarts especially those of Gary Kissane. Why Kissane decided to go short at one stage in 2nd half was confusing considering Moran had won almost all of his restarts, he fluffed his lines ending up costing his team a point in the process. Bjk missed free from the 21 is hard to excuse. Jack Savage tries to do too much at times and ends up over complicating things, he got dispossessed too many times in my opinion and one time in particular he had a chance to put the ball over the bar or set up a handy score but ended up getting turned over and SK went up the field and scored......two point swing. Con Barrett looked good at times but drifted in and out of the game but ultimately KOR are carrying too many passengers and like a poster said already they lack the depth in panel. I was surprised when Sheehan got motm, he kicked 6 wides/short but in fairness most of SK scores do go through him in some sort. SK are definitely in a better position to dethrone Crokes as they possess some very good defenders that are capable of nullifying the Crokes to some extent. They will need a lot more from some of their forwards and might need to start Niall O Shea instead of Ronan Hussey perhaps.
The second game had 2 major turning points. One was the injury to Tomas Se who had started very brightly and was causing Crokes some early problems. The other was obviously the sending off of Jason Hickson. WK were naive on the sideline, Crokes had so much space in front of their full forward line and WK played into their hands I would say Pat Shea couldnt believe his luck. Crokes have many options especially in the forward line to have the luxury of not having to risk Kieran O Leary and Chris Brady who had knocks. Fitzmaurice could do worse to thoroughly examine this weekends games and look at players worth taking a punt on. I would say.....Shane Murphy, Paul O Sullivan, Rob Wharton, Gavin White, Tomas Se and Eanna Conchuir deserve to get a chance in the league. Shane Murphy's ability to set up scores from his kick outs is unbelievable and he's not too shabby of a shot stopper either.
Crokes to win final by 3.
