Joe McDonagh Cup starts today at home to Meath. No sign of a team being named on on the main site. Stream is available so that's at least something. If last week however is anything to go by if you can't get the stream you'll have to rely on the Meath county board for updates. To the same itself. Will have to prick themselves up after last week but should have enough to get over the line. Will need t hit the ground running as one loss is a huge setback in this. Every single score and substitution was tweeted from last weekend’s League final. Same today ....so no need to rely on Meath for updates! It was the Kerry County Board that arranged to have the game streamed today as neither TV nor GAAGO are showing it! Also the match programme has been uploaded to the Kerry GAA website! |

Radio Kerry who are broadcasting the game didn't even have the team! Would you have left the same thing happen had it been any Kerry football team? |

Kerry impressive but sterner opposition to come
Brandon Barrett prominent early on but faded a bit
The two O'Leary's and Fionan Mackessy in the thick of the action. Shane Nolan roamed the field to good effect, John Buckley good at corner back
Good to see Padraig Boyle and Daniel Collins come off the bench, will need them when stronger opposition comes, Colm Harty was lively when he came on.

All media outlets got the team at 10am this morning and all media personnel in attendance were provided with printed programmes. It was widely known on Friday that the hurling team would be announced this morning. Hurlingman you are invited to join the communications team - new members are always welcome! |

Great display by Kerry today but of course one must be cognisant of the opposition.
I felt Kerry played a very satisfactory standard of hurling with the backs much much more confident and commanding than last Sunday. Shane Nolan at midfield was much improved. All the forwards impressed at times with Mikey as always a warrior at FF. Interestingly, Shane Conway wasn’t as prominent as usual but the other players stepped up.
It was reassuring that Daniel Collins and Podge returned. They won’t weaken the side!
I was surprised that Michael Slattery was replaced . I felt he was a threat against the wind. I know Michael plays his hurling with Abbeydorney but I thought he played his football with Austin Stacks . However , somebody said he plays his football with Ballyduff.
P.S. Hurlingman, there seems to be no satisfying you regarding coverage of hurling. I feel Kerry hurling are well looked after by the county board and also receive generous coverage from all local media outlets. You should also be mindful, whether you find it palatable or not, that football is the game in Kerry.

Ye were able to tweet about the U20 footballers, granted not the full game, yet the only ''updates'' from the other two hurling games came from the Munster GAA Twitter page and came at completely random parts of the game. Why were ye able to find time to write out tweets about football games, in the U20 not the full game, yet couldn't be bothered with the hurling games? The U20 hurling game was on in Tralee with no other games yet still nothing? |

I'm not disputing the fast football is and will alway be the main game in Kerry, however the coverage hurling gets had improved, yet things still happen that would never happen if it was football, Even today Radio Kerry taking brakes in the middle of the game to give updates on other sports! Anyway back to the game itself. Good to get a win on the board ahead of tougher clashes to come. I see no reason as to why Kerry can't make the final, getting a result against either Carlow or Antrim should put them in a good place to make the final. |

I agree Veteran, I think hurling gets good coverage in the kerry media outlets, ultimately the sad fact of the matter is that there are vast tracts of the county where the game is not played at all football is played near everywhere, inevitable it will get more coverage |

Hurling in Dublin was traditionally only popular in a few small pockets of the city.
Serious investment of time was put into the game in the last number of years. When I started playing with Clontarf we had no hurling teams of any description. Now we are possibly more successful in hurling, certainly at underage level. We even have a Dublin senior hurler in Paddy Smith.
At underage level every age group has to give parity to football and hurling and it has paid off hugely.
I never played a game of hurling in my life but it's my sons No 1 sport, followed by Cricket and then football.
Hurling has become fashionable in the capital amongst GAA members. It will never be the most popular sport among the non GAA members who support the Dubs as Soccer is mainly their sport.
I dont know how much hurling is encouraged in clubs in Kerry amongst kids. But for the game to have a longterm future it has to achieve parity. And it wong happen overnight. Kerry are probably lucky in that there are areas where hurling is strong.

I work with a few Southside mums who tell me that on Sunday mornings they is a mad dash to collect kids "from regby and drop them to hareling". These would have been Rugby heartlands

Kilmacud and Cuala would be the heart of rugby territory. Clontarf would have been similar but GAA is much more dominant of late.

One disadvantage that Kerry has with hurling is that while it is only played in a small number of clubs, those clubs are generally dedicated hurling clubs, and so a hotbed. If those players were spread out around the county then the game would die as none of 'em would have a team. This aforementioned situation of course also means that success in hurling shouldn't threaten the football.
Such is the peerless skill of hurling I sense that there may come a time when the world wakes up to it and an Irish county may not even win the AI final, if ya with me? I had that experience at last years League Final, first time I had a good seat for a hurling match, i.e. Hurling final was on before us vs Mayo, and boy did I catch the bug. In business this is known as 'cross-selling', i.e. get customers of one product to buy another from the same stable. Maybe an unintended consequence that hopefully won't go unnoticed at HQ, and what was evn better I have our own Jackiel to thank for it all, an amazin' gal!

The Kerry hurlers played very well as a team unit today
The skill of Conway was sublime yet again and his scoring return huge
The team and panel has been strengthened by the 3 Kilmoyley players, Padraig Boyle scored 3 points off the bench are notable points from the match.
all in all great spirit and team performance in windy conditions

That was a great win. Played cerebral hurling early on, short game against the gale . We were excellent in that opening quarter and of course Shane Conway’s goal was great for the nerves. Inevitably Westmeath came more into it in the second quarter but our backs were resolute, indeed more or less impregnable all through, of course easier as the second half advanced when an opposition forward was red carded.
When the second half resumed I was a little agitated that we played a lot of short ball out from the back , often to a player who was covered , rather than using the wind to get out faster and further. In any case , we began to dominate and of course the introduction of Podge was masterful. Three successive points from three strikes . That broke Westmeath’s resistance. Shane Nolan’s goal was merely added misery for Westmeath.
One gets the impression that these lads are being smartly coached. Could it be that Kerry will be in Croke Park on senior All-Ireland Final day but it will be the small ball practitioners who will be there rather than the usual suspects!
It would be remiss not to say that the Westmeath commentators were admirably complimentary about Kerry hurling in general and about Shane Conway in particular.

Another good win today on the road. Antrim and Carlow game ending in a draw is also a good result. A win over one of them should see us into the final.

Westmeath and Kerry are usually evenly matched, both drawing from 9 or 10 rural clubs.
At the start of the second half the Westmeath corner forward decided to exact retribution on Eric Leen for an incident in the first half. The red card flashed and such stupidity cost his team dearly.
Westmeath were now playing into a gale and Kerrys extra man swept up and also provided an option for the Kerry puckout.
Still with 50 mins gone Westmeath were still in it but only just. The cavalry in the shape of Padraigh Boyle and Mossie oConnor arrived and the Westmeath keeper spent the last part of the game looking up at the sliothar flying over his crossbar.
Kerry are a bigger team than Westmesth too with Macesssy,Barrett, Nolan,OLeary and the Boyles all able to dominate physically.
Of course the artist from Lixnaw is something else.

Very much so and one of them started talking about good hurlers from Kerry that he played against. He referenced "Martin John Brick from Caherciveen". John Martin Brick from Kilmoyley is who he meant I am sure but he got a laugh out of me. Very passionate even handed commentators they were. |

Very passionate even handed commentators they were. he invented a hurler from Cahirciveen for * sake that didnt even exist! He stressed several times , hurling not played in Caherciveen but Martin John was very good! As a matter of interest , I wonder hurling ever played in Cahirciveen, Iveragh had a team way back so some few may been from Cahirciveen |

Is it where someone has come up with a convuluted system where none is needed or what? Joe McDonagh cup is a round-robin with a group of 5. The top two qualify for final. I have not seen RTE tables, but that may be the Lory Meagher cup. |

I saw the RTÉ tables for McDonagh. It looked like a separate table for each week. The first table was the layout of the four teams in week 1 and the second table was the make up of four teams thqt played week 2 based on week 2 results only. No wonder RTÊ don't mention the competition as they don't understand the layout.
As mentioned above me, one table of five and top two in final. Whoever wins gets promoted to Leinster championship, unless Kerry win then they have to beat the worst hurling county in Munster to progress.

KERRY HURLINGHurlers prepare for their annual championship trip Northwards by Donal Barry11th November 2020
Kerry prepare for annual championship trip North
Having enjoyed a week off from Joe McDonagh Cup action, Fintan O’Connor’s Kerry senior hurlers will head northwards to Belfast this Friday afternoon for what has become their annual Joe McDonagh joust with Antrim in the North.
Kerry will overnight at Newry on Friday evening before tackling the last leg of their journey to Corrigan Park in Belfast on Saturday (1.30pm) – A trip of 441Km from Lixnaw.
Kerry have become no strangers to the men in Saffron over the last number of years in both league and championship, having lost out twice this season to Antrim in the league including their Division 2A final meeting.
They also have become no strangers to tackling the long road Northwards with this their third trip to Antrim in championship over the last three years. In fact, it is true to say that, all of the round games in the Joe McDonagh since its inception with Antrim has seen the Kingdom make the journey. A journey, which they fared badly with last year in which the home side defeated them convincingly 3-19 to 0-14.
With the top, two team progressing to a final, which will be played in Croke Park, it already looks like a three horse race with Kerry in the hunt with Antrim and Carlow as Meath and Westmeath even at this stage looking to have fallen away.
Carlow and Antrim drew last time out as Antrim grabbed a late goal to share the spoils. Carlow will be visitors to Austin Stack Park in Kerry’s final game.
So Kerry will know that at least one solid result in their next two games will be enough to push them into the top two.

EOGHAN CORMICAN
Kerry hurling manager Fintan O’Connor wants his players to grab the “unbelievable opportunity” in front of them as the Kingdom stand just two victories from involvement in the 2021 All-Ireland SHC.
O’Connor’s charges are away to Antrim in Round 3 of the Joe McDonagh Cup this Saturday and should Kerry come out on top at Corrigan Park, Belfast, they’ll progress to the second-tier final with a game to spare.
GAA regulations concerning the Joe McDonagh Cup, pre-pandemic, stated that if Kerry were crowned second-tier champions, they would then have to play a promotion/relegation clash against the bottom-placed team in the Munster SHC round-robin.
Such a play-off fixture did not exist for any of the Leinster counties in the Joe McDonagh Cup or indeed Antrim.
But when Croke Park unveiled their restructured 2020 championships at the end of June, it was stated that the “issue of what happens for [the] 2021 MacCarthy Championship should Kerry win the McDonagh Cup will be dealt with in final competition regulations”.
The subsequent final decision removed the play-off clause and it was music to Fintan O’Connor’s ears when Kerry County Board secretary Peter Twiss informed him that Joe McDonagh Cup success for Kerry in 2020 would mean involvement in the Leinster SHC — rather than Munster — and the All-Ireland SHC next year.
O’Connor is not sure if this is a once-off tweaking of the rulebook and so wants his players to capitalise on the “unbelievable opportunity” which has come about as a result of Covid disrupting the initial 2020 GAA calendar.
Kerry, having won their opening two games against Meath and Westmeath, currently sit top of the Joe McDonagh Cup round-robin table. Victory over Antrim would be sufficient to book them a spot in the December 13 decider ahead of their final outing at home to Carlow next weekend.
“I was aware of [the rule change] before we started playing. They couldn't leave it that if anyone else won, they'd be in Leinster, and if Kerry won, they'd be nowhere,” O’Connor began.
“I would have impressed on the players that this was there for them. It is an unbelievable opportunity for us.
Playing the bottom team in Munster is not as big an opportunity as going straight into a competition. It is an ill-wind. Covid is after giving us something that we wouldn't normally have a chance to do.
“I hope [this isn’t a once-off]. I would have always felt that it was strange that one team be treated differently to the others.”
On first securing final involvement, which Kerry did not manage in either 2018 or 2019, O’Connor said: “It is in our own hands.”
“If we are good enough to get to the final, we have to win one of our last two games. If we are not good enough, we won't win one of the two games and it'll end up being Carlow and Antrim in the final. We played Antrim in the league final and earlier in the league. They beat us both times. We have a fair mountain to climb on Saturday.”
Kerry players will drive separately to and from Antrim this weekend, overnighting in Newry on Friday.
