Good win for Rathmore heard they were up against it and could of easily went to Ek. East Kerry v Mid Kerry be an interesting game. Interesting game allright. Clifford came on, touched the ball twice including flicking the ball onto the post in injury time that would have won it for East Kerry. Mahony came on too half way through the 2nd half

Senior Football Championship Round 1 – Replays Sat May 20 @ 6.30pm – Extra Time St Kierans v Austin Stacks in Scartaglin Sun May 21 @ 2.30pm – Extra Time Kenmare Shamrocks v Killarney Legion in Kenmare Senior Football Championship - Round 2A Sat May 20 @ 6.30pm – Extra Time Dr Crokes v St Brendans in Lewis Rd Rathmore v Feale Rgs in Rathmore Sun May 21 @ 2.30pm – Extra Time Dingle v Kerins O Rahillys in Dingle Date & Venue TBC Austin Stacks or St Kierans v Killarney Legion or Kenmare Shamrocks Senior Football Championship - Round 2B Sun May 21 @ 2pm – Extra Time Kilcummin v South Kerry in Lewis Rd Sun May 21 @ 3.45pm – Extra Time East Kerry v Mid Kerry in Lewis Rd Date & Venue TBC Kenmare District v Killarney Legion or Kenmare Shamrocks West Kerry v Austin Stacks or St Kierans Was at the crokes game today , I reckon they will win it again this year,they just seem to have more gears if needed, seen the rathmore game before hand east kerry could of taken them but didn't. I had great hope for East kerry this year with all clubs involved doing reasonable well, we got a though draw in losses Rd against mid kerry who will have learnt a lot from there defeat to Crokes. Who were South kerry missing today ?? Sheehan and Young missing for SK who got the perfect start with two early goals but were pegged back by KOR who lost Tommy Walsh in the first half to injury and also started without their no1 full back. KOR well worth their win and probably should have won by more as SK scored the last few scores to make score closer than the game seemed.

Interesting that out of the 30 man Kerry senior panel over a quarter of them were "injured" for the weekends games

Shane Ryan and Darra Roche were both superb for their respective teams. East Kerry were very strong and should beat mid Kerry, after that who knows.

Senior Championship is becoming like the Europa league. Gets a little exciting at semi final stage at best....
The senior management team and players don't get too fussed by it. It used to be the barometer for getting into the senior squad. Now a lot of them don't even play in it.

I see Dublin championship going ahead full steam, with all the Dublin panelists taking part. Is it straight knockout?

County players have little or no interest in their clubs until the county team is out of the championship,Everyone needs to cop onto that fact.

I would not agree with this; the 8 senior clubs in the county championship had their county players in action and whilst Star did not start for Stacks he came in at h/t and rescued them; the chance to play with your club and win a county are a huge incentive for all players at all levels - the honour of captaining Kerry should your club win the senior championship is a huge added bonus. Players start and finish their careers with their clubs - they are only " on loan" to the county!

Out of the 26 that togged v Dublin 8 didnt play championship and another 5 didnt finish their or start their respective games. Thats a massive percentage,County is king and there are numerous other examples,Probably effects district teams alot more than club but its still an awful blight on our games

Perhaps some players have that attitude, maybe it depends on the club they play for! But that is a very bold statement to come out with especially with no proof!!!

Dara O Sé eluded to it in his newspaper column this week,County players do excellent work with their own clubs and are never ever found wanting for their clubs when there is no conflict with the county. They all want to play for Kerry and will not put that at risk,Once Kerry are out of the championship they come back and lead their clubs.But when the two seasons overlap there is only one winner

I think the overlap is an important point - most players are very committed to their clubs. However when they have competing demands it becomes very difficult and the county normally takes precedence. This is the workload period for the county training but key match period for the clubs - asking players to put miles in their legs at county training and be at their best for the club is an unfair demand and again begs questions of the GAA calendar. Club fixtures are being plugged into the calendar to get the competitions progressed but the county players are still dancing to the call of the county manager - an unsatisfactory situation where the player is in a no win situation.

This is 100% true & I don't blame them,Of course you are going to put playing for Kerry in a Munster Final or All Ireland Semi or Final ahead of playing with your club. It's terribly unfair on both the county and club player for games to be shoehorned into the calender that neither want to play. Look at the farcical situation where we have rounds of county championship fixed for Friday night in Templenoe and Gallarus. It has been well documented over the past year or two how many Templenoe players are based outside the county and i imagine it's the same for the other 3 competing teams,But these games are wedged in because Kerry have a training weekend planned. Now what goes through a county players mind when he is trying to impress Fitzmaurice and co. during the weekend break,Does he go hell for leather the night before? The situation is very unfair on the county management,The county players and ultimately the club players

I presume that next year SF Championship will not start until Kerry exit All Ireland, which will be August 28th at the latest barring a drawn All Ireland Final.

With regard to the missing intercounty players it is also worth noting that at least two of them were doing exams - May is the main month for College exams and some colleges run the exams six days a week. Club matches must take second place in such situations I think all would agree.

I'm hearing some of the teams involved on Sunday in replays aren't best pleased to be out again the following Friday in Round 2 action..factor in Kerry went up the country midweek to play a challenge game and you could be talking about some players having 4 games in 12 days.

Really tough one for the Stacks. A hard place to go win. Kenmare v Legion game will be close again maybe Legion to shade it. Crokes to beat Brendans. Rathmore over Feale Rangers. Dingle to beat O'Rahilly's. South Kerry should beat Kilcummin. East Kerry v Mid Kerry could be a draw hard to call it.
