Why was it cancelled, have Kerry thrown up the competition now? I would imagine it was driven by Kildare - Kildare had lost all 3 games and probably didn't want to lose a 4th - Kerry had already agreed to move the game to Thurles from a Kerry venue. Also Kerry would have had lads playing 3 games in 8 days and the panel already has a number of lads injured so I could see why Kerry management went along with calling the game off. |

What's the point in entering a competition if you decide to not complete the fixtures.

What's the point in entering a competition if you decide to not complete the fixtures. Which is exactly what will happen if Tier 2 goes to a league format. |

This development league is really nothing but organised rounds of challenge matches for the benefit of management teams to bring lads back in together after a few years, before the championship starts. Even though Kildare were going bad you'd imagine they'd fulfill the fixture anyway to see if there is anything they could take from it. They'll learn nothing staying at home.

I'd say Kerry were under pressure from the clubs..Having 3 U20 games in the same week as 2 County league games put some players under too much pressure and someone had to pull the brakes..really is time that clubs and county board and managers sat down and thrashed it out.Its getting to the stage where having a county player is a disadvantage to both club and player but if a county wants to compete at the highest level does having a player being expected to play 5 games in a week fair.Discussion needed

Problem is the final is on Thursday 18th.
I assume both management teams would want more than 3 full days to prepare for the final.

I'm surprised Paul O'Shea and Eddie Horan aren't starting, I would have had them down as 2 of our best players. Surely Jack has picked the strongest team considering this is our only game before the probable Munster Final against a good Cork side and the team would need a game to gel? Brian Friel's injury mustn't be as bad as feared which is a huge positive, we will need him as the forward line isn't what I'd called lethal. I was also expecting to see Darragh Rahilly at least on the 24, I rate him highly. The back line is very small, Potts, McCarthy and Sean O'Leary are all what I would consider very small. After seeing the team now I think we will greatly struggle to win our long-awaited u21 All Ireland, Munster will also be tough to win. But to be fair any team wouldn't look great on paper when it is without their 2 best players.

In a game which at best could be described as mediocre, Kerry ran out easy winners on a final scoreline of 0-18 to 1-03.
Limerick played with wind advantage in the first half ( attacking the Dunnes end) but showed no ambition often having 11/12 players behind the ball in an attempt to stymie/block any Kerry forward movement - at times we played into their hands by attempting to run the ball through the middle resulting in loss of possession and a breakdown in our play but the trend would start all over again as Limerick did not have sufficient numbers up front to trouble us.
Seán Horan was industrious up front and was ably assisted by Donal O'Sullivan; too often our corner forwards Fiachra Clifford and Cathal Ferriter tried to go it alone resulting in turn overs or losing possession. We lead at half time by 0-10 to 0-02 with Donal O'Sullivan being the pick of our forwards; the game was no real test of our defence but Pa Warren covered intelligently intercepting well on occasions.
The final score was indicative of a sub standard game with little learned in advance of next week's Munster final.

Cork/Waterford semifinal pushed back to tomorrow night (Friday) in Clonakilty. Seems Waterford have something like 8 players on both hurling and football panels - the hurlers lost on Tuesday night v Tipp.

To be fair, Limerick put up a lot better fight than this time last year even if it mostly involved parking the bus. Never really gave Kerry a sniff of a goal chance tonight and the home side had to work hard for most of their points too. The visitors kept going to the end as well, credit to them.
Kerry were too much in control to properly assess the form but Donal O'Sullivan was outstanding at full forward. Won almost every ball that came at him (and there were plenty) while standing up to a fair bit of battering and scoring some lovely points. Midfielders O'Connor and O'Mahony won their sector easily, against smaller men, it must be said.
Strange as it may seem, given Kerry's dominance, it was the defence that gave most cause for cheer imo. Limerick sought to break at speed at every opportunity, mixing the long ball into James Molyneaux with a running game starring the livewire no.13, Noel Callanan. The defence stood firm and while no one individual stood put, there was a heartening cohesion about their defensive plan (seniors take note). The Limerick goal, however, was terribly soft and the only real blip on the night.
And yes, those jerseys again ffs. They're actually a little hard to see when it gets gloomy, as it did towards the end tonight. Are we going to see green and gold at all this year?

I seen that online alright, haven't seen him play. Would he be cut out to play senior intercounty next year or would it still be a bit too soon for him?. Any thoughts? |

Hard to tell from U20 v Limerick but he looked the part tonight, certainly. Fine strong lad who won his battle against another fine strong lad from Limerick. One particular moment from the first half stands out, where he cleanly won a high ball into the the penalty area against 3 Limerick men. Lovely striker of the football too. |

One particular moment from the first half stands out, where he cleanly won a high ball into the the penalty area against 3 Limerick men. Lovely striker of the football too. He's also very fast which could make him a nice partner inside with Clifford in the future as Pat Spillane made a point which might be valid that Clifford would benefit from playing with someone faster than Geaney next to him. I remember him being a very good minor. We will need him to really perform in this u20 championship because he is our go to man in the forward line and I think if he is shackled we will greatly struggle. He is u20 again next year so I would leave him with them next year as we have plenty of quality options in the full forward line. This group have quality options in midfield even without the services of Diarmuid O'Connor in Joe O'Connor, Barry Mahony and Paul O'Shea. This is very welcome since we are so short of options there at Senior. Hopefully they can come through although I think Barry Mahony might be better suited to a wing forward position at Senior and Paul O'Shea is probably 2 or 3 years away. |

Sounds exciting, could be Kerry's answer for a big target man. Even though David Clifford is capable but never used as a full forward, which should be experimented in my opinion. I will be watch Donal's career for sure after a display like this. |
