Molomphy needs to do all he can to get Barry Mahony on board provided he interested was he in with Jack this year on extended panel? He was for the McGrath cup and the early stages of the league, saw no league action though I dont know if he was cut from the panel or if he saw the writing on the wall Not much point is sitting number 34 on the panel and missing club hurling |

Well it was a heartbreaking defeat at our home away from home on Sunday. Granted there was a fierce wind but we played exceptionally in that first half and the two goals were sublime, skill, opportunism and guile abound. Even though we were second best then after the restart we showed great heart and fitness to force extra-time but just seemed to run out of steam in the second period. Agree with sentiments expressed above Barry was a colossus for us on Sunday and how I would dearly love to see him in the green and gold with the hurlers seeing as he can't seem to make an impression on Jack. He's too good to note be on one of our inter-county teams. As disappointing as Sunday was its been an incredible year for our village we're rightly the number one club side in Kerry right now having won the championship the hard way after so long. And the last two weeks have proven we can mix it with the best of what's there at a very high level of club hurling in Munster. I really hope this exciting and brilliantly coached Crotta team have a few more county titles in them and I hope we get another chance to make our mark in Munster. It was brilliant seeing Kilmoyley make the break through a couple of years ago and I dearly wish I'll get to see the red and green represent Kerry hurling in a Munster final before too long. 11 years ago the agony of a county final defeat was added to by the ignominy of relegation to intermediate status as the great recession bleed us dry of so many of our young players. 11 years on and the sky's the limit! Special times  |

Assuming he'd have been available and wanted to play with the hurlers it was a complete waste. Same with Donal O'Sullivan. |

According to the Kerry's eye Donal O Sullivan isn't part of the Kerry football panel next year. If both him and Barry Mahony were on board with the hurlers it would be a huge boost.

The 2025 National Hurling League will have 5 divisions of 7 teams. 1A, 1B, 2, 3 and 4. 2 teams will be promoted and relegated between all divisions. Kerry will have to make the 2A final in 2024 to earn promotion to Division 1B (for teams 8 to 14). Division 1B will more or less consist of 4 McCarthy Cup and 3 McDonagh Cup counties.

I read that the Kerry hurlers played Wexford recently in a challenge match.
Anyone know how the match went?

If Kerry make the 2A final, they will be in Division 1B in 2025. Finishing 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th will bring Division 2 hurling. If Kerry are in Division 2 in 2025, the expectation will be to make the Division 2 final and get promoted at that stage. Kerry will be better off getting promoted in 2024. Division 1B in 2025 will more than like have 8th and 9th of the top 9 counties. Division 1B the year after will more than likely have 6th and 7th of the top 9 counties, as two are promoted and two are relegated.

I was told they played MTU cork fitzgibbon cup team yesterday in currans score 1-20-0-22 to cork Kerry being up 16-2 at half time made 6 or 7 changes but had a fairly strong young side out with Shane Conway standing out as far as I know very weak cork side with only 18 players and only 4 or 5 potential starters for the fitzgibbon cup in January. Strong wind for Kerry in the first that settled down and all in all a poor result

Daniel Collins, Mikey Boyle, Pádraig Boyle, Seán ‘Beans’ Weir, and Eoin Ross either retired or not available to Moloumphy in 2024.
14 new players added to the Kerry hurling squad.
Sone of newcomers are Ronan Walsh, Felim O’Sullivan, Darragh Kearney and Seamie Foran, with Rathmore’s Luke Crowley stepping up to the senior ranks for the first time.
Average age of the panel will be below 23 years of age.
Seems a very new and young squad, good for long term progress but it could be a tough year if they are not up to speed in 2024.

Kerry could struggle to retain Joe McDonagh status A lot of experience has gone, we are now in a transition phase in my view Retaining Joe McDonagh status is key. We have good young players coming through but expecting them to backbone a challenge for silverware in 2024 might be a bit ambitious |

MUNSTER HURLING LEAGUE GROUP B
Kerry 3-12
Waterford 3-23
Not a bad loss against a Tier 1 county.
"Division 2 in 2025 will consist of;
• The teams that finish 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th in Division 2a (4)
• The teams that finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd in Division 2b (3)"
Kerry cannot be relegated from Division 2A as they are guaranteed Division 2 hurling at least. The 2024 National Hurling League is a good opportunity to build ahead of the McDonagh Cup.

The 2024 National Hurling League is a good opportunity to build ahead of the McDonagh Cup. With a young squad there would be no better time to be in 1b in 2025 and get them used to a high standard of hurling against the likes of Wexford, Dublin, Antrim, Waterford, Offaly etc. Promotion won’t be easy in 2024, you’d imagine Laois, Carlow, Kerry and Westmeath will fight it out for the top 3 places. |

Waterford were good value for their win, we did keep the score respectable against a tier 1 county which is encouraging
some real touches of class from Shane Conway

Luke got about 25 mins had a shot drop short after a good run. Shane Conway probably best player on pitch. We look a bit light in forwards but a good performance all round

Fair point. It will be a big ask though for a young squad to make the 2A final this year. Both 2A finalists will be promoted to Division 1B. |

Co Op Superstores
Munster Senior Hurling League
Full time
Tipperary 1.28 (HT 0.17)
Kerry 1.14 (HT 1.11)
Kerry seem to have competed well against Waterford and Tipperary in both their Munster League games. Hopefully an encouraging sign ahead of the 2A campaign.

Co Op Superstores Munster Senior Hurling League Full time Tipperary 1.28 (HT 0.17) Kerry 1.14 (HT 1.11) Kerry seem to have competed well against Waterford and Tipperary in both their Munster League games. Hopefully an encouraging sign ahead of the 2A campaign. Yes indeed and its good for confidence but did Waterford and Tipp have weak teams out?Even if they did Kerry were competitive according to the scoreline but I dont think we can read too much into it until we see how they get on in the league.Id really love of we could get our best players involved like Barry Mahony etc. Kerry were very competitive and indeed impressive in the first half, trailing by only 3 points. Shane Conway was conducting affairs with real class and inside forwards Luke Crowley and Dan Goggin were causing Tipp plenty of bother Kerry 2 greats points from Crowley and Brandon Barrett but after that Tipp just smothered kerry pushed up on the Kerry puck out meaning that Kerry couldnt work it through the lines. They also put the shackles on Conway. The last 25mins, Tipp were completely on top and Kerry had virtually no foothold in the game On a positive note Kerry looked impressive in the first half and Luke Crowley looks a serious hurling prospect - 3 points from play and he won 4 frees which Shane Conway converted. Great to see Rathmore\Glenflesk represented on a kerry senior hurling team, ditto Dr Crokes, dual player Tom Doyle was in the starting 15 The munster league has served Kerry well anyway in terms of preparing for the league |

Disappointing news for his club and county is that Barry Mahony is due to head to the U.S in late spring. Pity because he has been one of the few dual players to shine in more recent times but I suppose everyone is entitled to take whatever oppertunity comes their way so i wish him all the best.

Is there a full panel published anywhere? Is there a reason why Cillian Trant isn’t involved?
