The Kerry minors take on Laois on Saturday. Beat Carlow in Round 1 and have Kildare in Round 2. The top 2 go through along with the top 2 in the other Tier 2 group to the Leinster Preliminary quarter-finals. The quarter-finals is where Tier 2 counties will come up against Tier 1 counties.

Some lovely skilful hurlers on the Kerry minor team. Laois minors teams have beaten Kilkenny & Wexford in recent years so I am surprised they are in Tier 2, but it might show Kerry where they are at. I think this is a very good Kerry minor hurling team. |

U20s beaten 4-15 to 6 points today. Wouldn’t have thought Kildare would be that strong. Is that the end of the season now for the 20s?

13 of Kildare team from 3 clubs, just a weak Kerry team this year yep but 3 of them clubs are strong vibrant town clubs - Naas, Maynooth and Celbridge all towns with huge populations a lot of folks from hurling counties have settled in them. hurling is strong in all 3 clubs Naas will win a Leinster senior club hurling title in the not too distant future Kerry havent the colour of 3 strong hurling clubs in towns, tralee parnells making great strides but a long way off the above Kildare clubs. underage hurling is practically non existent in Killarney after under 13 Kerry were short a half dozen or so players who are either playing aussie rules or football at present and injuries took a few more plus 1 or 2 didnt commmit Then again I am sure Kildare were short a few as well because of football, injury etc so the 21 point hammering is really alarming |

Have Crokes anything going on at underage? Going back to the mid 2010s or so they always had lads on minor panels but none seemed to make the step up after. |

Underage is gone backwards not forwards on the hurling side of Dr Crokes They have an under 13 team and no teams any higher than this. good numbers at under 11 and 13 so hopefully they can bring them forward but on the round Crokes were stronger under age a few years back Firies are the only club from East Kerry that are in the under 15 Feile team and will have a minor hurling team again this year A few from Crokes play with them at under 15 and minor Firies are the strongest underage hurling club in East Kerry presently is the bottom line. |

Interesting how Kerry are 14/1 to win joe mcdonagh and are 11/2 to win up in westmeath a team we were beating regularly up until lately. Anyone know if Luke Crowley will be involved now that hes fit again

Hazarding a guess that the hurlers will have to concede. |

Not ideal in terms of training for each code I will agree. |

If he’s looking at it rationally the hurlers aren’t going to do anything in the Joe McDonagh while it’s his last year of u20 football

After returning from a long layoff through injury? Not prudent to undertake such a work load in that situation I imagine , regardless of age. |

Molomphy has said Conway out for mcdonagh cup . Luke Crowley likely to feature with Brandon Barrett and couple of other injured players to return also.

It's a long time since I've been this underwhelmed before thr hurlers play championship.
I'd always be hopeful of at least being competitive but I think this year avoiding relegation is the best case scenario.

Him and Barry Mahony would be a huge asset to the forwards at the moment. Barry Mahony - 24 Jack Goulding - 25 Daniel Collins - 29 Podge Boyle - 30 Donal Down O Sullivan - 24 Michael O Leary - 26 Jordan Conway - 25 Jason Diggins - 26 Them 8 hurlers would go a long way to winning the Joe McDonagh cup. Kerry are producing hurlers as good if not better than any of the other Joe Mc teams, the problem is getting them to commit all at the one time. Or finding out the reason they won’t commit….. |

Few interesting pieces in kerryman today talking to Mackessy and Molomphy who made a great point saying theres no point talking about lads that would be great if they trained its the lads with there shoulder to the wheel we want.Fionan said league and championship different ball game and kerry wont fear anyone. Hopefully things click for Kerry and win at least two rounds

Interesting to see Luke Crowley is named to start at the weekend. It’s a weak team for Joe McDonagh level. Not in anyway knocking the lads who are in with Kerry as I’ve great admiration for them but I could possibly name a starting 15 from the current Kerry club hurling county leagues that would at least match or beat that 15. And that is very sad to say. |
