Nemo scored 2 quick goals v Duhallow and looked to have finished them off early in the 2nd half in the Cork Final. They held on to win by 4 in the end. They seem to found a few new faces to blend with the seasoned campaigners and will have their sights on the Munster Club at the very least.

Would hate to see a final decided on a penalty shootout to be fair.
Seems to be a story of make it up as you go along with a lot of competitions, at least leading up to the final.
Does the South Kerry v Crokes replay have to end on the day i wonder?
Meanwhile, it should be a lively night in Glenties as Naomh Conaill beat Gaoth Dobhair this evening in Ballybofey in the 2nd replay by 0-8 to 0-7.
Gaoth Dobhair had Eamonn McGee sent off at half time for an incident as the teams left the field.
Another man got the road near the end as they finished with 13.
Naomh Conaill might have to end the celebrations sometime before the weekend though, as they're out again in Ulster on Sunday against Castlerahan (Cavan).

I see the dreaded shootout made it's first appearance in the club championships today with Derrygonnelly Harps (Fermanagh) beating Trillick (Tyrone) 6-5 on pens after extra time in the Ulster senior club quarter final.
Just the usual 10 minutes each way of extra time played before the spot kicks. Only variation I can see from a soccer shootout is that when it goes to sudden death you start back with your first taker again, instead of going down through the rest of the team.
Some amateur footage from the scene..

Both replays of the Donegal County final were keenly contested, Gaoth Dobar had plenty of football in 'em but Glenties/Naomh Conaill toughened it out and the 1 point margin at the 3rd staging was a representative enough result. I think the margin only broke 2 pts once or twice, Glenties/Naomh Conaill would be a solid, business like brigade and an even enough team, 4th favourites I think they were in the semis stage, a dark horse type team in many respects.
Exciting or what, a 3rd game @ 8pm KO under lights in Ballybofey will be long remembered, shortens the winter a biteen too, eases the withdrawal symptoms,
And then Glenties/Naomh Conaill prevailed v Cavan champs after over 200 mins of football in a few weeks. They will cause lots of teams problems and belief is growing.
One of the most entertaining conclusions to the year I have experienced, then again 3 stagings would be!

Draw will do for Dr Crokes
Draw will do for Dr Crokes
By Eoghan Cormican
Staff writer

Dr Crokes do not need to win the Kerry SFC final to earn the right to represent the county in Munster - a draw will suffice.
Four-in-a-row chasing Crokes play East Kerry in the county decider this Sunday (Austin Stack Park, 3pm), with the Kerry champions due out in the Munster club championship on Sunday week.
Divisional teams are not permitted to compete in the provincial or All-Ireland club series so East Kerry, irrespective of how they fare at Austin Stack Park, will not be going forward to represent Kerry in Munster. Crokes, however, are not guaranteed Munster involvement by virtue of being the last remaining club team in the county championship.
Unlike in Cork where Glen Rovers have been sent forward to represent the county in the Munster club hurling championship despite coming up short to Imokilly in the Cork decider, Kerry operate a system whereby if a club team does not come out on top in the county championship, then the winners of the Kerry club championship, a separate competition run off earlier in the year, go forward to Munster.
The match protocols for this Sunday, however, are not winner on the day so as to determine whether it is Crokes or club champions Austin Stacks competing in the Munster semi-final on Sunday week. If the Kerry county final is deadlocked at the end of normal time, no extra-time will be played or penalties taken. Instead, Crokes will look forward to a Munster semi-final against either Nemo Rangers or Newcastle West, with the replay of the county final taking place once Crokes’ Munster campaign is at an end.
When the Kerry CCC decided back in early September that the county final would be staged one week before the Kerry champions were due out in Munster, it was intimated the county final would be winner on the day, and certainly would have been had two clubs reached the decider.
In 2015, the Kerry county final between Legion and South Kerry ended level first day out. But instead of playing the replay 24 hours before the Kerry representatives were scheduled to face Nemo Rangers in the Munster semi-final, the county board nominated Legion, as opposed to club championship winners Dingle, to represent the county. The replay between Legion and South Kerry was then fixed for a later date.

Vagaries of Kerry system breathe new life into Stacks' season
Donnchadh Boyle
When Austin Stacks swept to the club championship title in Kerry back in April, it was a win that suggested they could be in line for a long and fruitful year.
It has been long alright. We are deep into November and the senior footballers are still in action. It hasn't been fruitful, however. The momentum gathered in the win over Dr Crokes in April - who just six weeks earlier had played in the All-Ireland club final - quickly fell away.
Two games in the county championship saw defeat to last year's beaten finalists Dingle and would-be champions East Kerry. With that their hopes fell to dust.
"We did (expect more from ourselves) and at the end of the day if you don't expect things from yourself you will never win," Stacks manager Wayne Quillinan says.
"Like every team out there, we put a hell of a lot of work into the county championship and for our bubble to be burst early it was very hard to take, you know? You have to believe in yourself and have confidence in the work you are doing and the quality of player you have, and we do. But again, you have to learn from the bad days and when your performance isn't where it should be that's where the learning process should be."
And while defeat to East Kerry seemed to kill their season, it was a win for the divisional side in last Sunday's final over Dr Crokes that has resuscitated their campaign. A change in rule last winter meant that the winners of the club championship, rather than the club team that went furthest in the county championship, would represent Kerry in Munster.
And when there was just one club team still standing at the semi-final stage (Dr Crokes), Stacks got back to training in case they were called upon.
"It only really became a possibility when you looked at the county championship semi-finals down here. You'd only one club team left then - albeit that being Crokes who have been a formidable force in Kerry football for the last ten years.
"So when you got to the stage where there were three divisional teams, the reality of the situation was that it got closer to home as the competition progressed."
Tomorrow, they'll take on Nemo Rangers in Páirc Uí Rinn. It's a second chance of sorts against one of club football's major powerhouses.
This is Quillinan's second stint in charge of Stacks, although most of the team that won a county championship in 2015 has moved on. Kieran Donaghy is a survivor, but he might be asked to double-job this weekend with his basketball side in action tonight in Galway.
However, around the club there is great faith in the young team they are building.
"We are developing a new team. A lot of the team from 2014 are gone and we would have gone out in the championship with six or seven U-20s. So what we are trying to do is be as successful as we possibly can while developing a young team as well.
"Inconsistency comes into it a small bit when fellas are so young and only learning their trade. Now we have very good young fellas who really apply themselves and have a great attitude, but you are going to have good days and bad days when you are transitioning your team.
"It's how you learn from your bad days that makes the character of the team and hopefully the things we have learned from our disappointment in the local championship might stand to us against Nemo. It will have to stand to us."

The senior club championship in April will take on even more importance and intensity in the next few years due to the likely stranglehold that East Kerry will have on the Bishop Moynihan cup.

As I said, Naomh Conaills/Glenties just doing enough in each game, deceiving to watch as they work in a kinda understated mode, County Final went to 3 fixtures and they were rank outsiders of last 4 standing, not good for the heart if you follow them, full marks for originality anyway and though only just getting over the line nothing has beaten em yet.
My concern is how good are the opposition -Clontibret say they didn't play up to scratch or was it that Dgal champs didn't allow them to? Time will tell!

Stacks unsurprisingly were destroyed. The county board need to look at the selection method. I don’t know what else they can do though. The old system was flawed too in that if 2 clubs got to semi’s and both lost to divisional teams, no 1 team has technically gone the furthest. At least this system means the Senior club championship will be of a good standard |

This system sent forward a team that hadn’t won a county championship game this season and that hadn’t played well in a batch of note in a good while.
They duly got hammered - it looks a bit farcical to be honest

At least this system means the Senior club championship will be of a good standard The county board have a system of taking past performances into account when deciding on the divisional teams who take part in the preliminary round of the county championship - easy to apply same if two clubs are eliminated at semi final stage - Crokes should have represented Kerry today - any count back on previous performances would have selected them - as they are the reigning Munster champions they should have been allowed to defend their title. Stacks were poor in this year’s championship & have lost Greg Horan & Conor Jordan to injury - their season effectively ended when beaten by EK weeks ago. |

Stacks unsurprisingly were destroyed. The county board need to look at the selection method. It's easy be wise after the event.At quarter final stage there were 4 clubs and 4 divisional teams left in the County championship.What happens if none of that 4 even make a semi final.The long lay off doesn't seem to have any effect on the junior and Intermediate winners, who tho to be fair, know that there in and can compare accordingly. I see where Stacks said they took a month off after County Championship exit.Was that wise?Should have kept training in the hope that they'd be Kerry representatives. Weve an awful habit of looking for hindsightical(is that even a word?)solutions after things dont go well. I think the current system is more than fair!!! |

At least this system means the Senior club championship will be of a good standardAssuming the system changed back to the club team that goes the furthest in the county championship (if two club teams end up going the same distance, maybe use whoever is the highest in the county leage) and the "prize" of being the club team going forward to the Munster club in the case of a divisional side, would the club championship suffer all that must in terms of competiveness? I think the potential relegation aspect of the club championship would ensure it remains seriously competitive no matter whether the prize of entry into Munster was there or not. If no change is made, it means that there is every chance of something similar happening again down the road. The final of the club championship was the 28th of April. That's 29 weeks or just short of 7 months from today. With that kind of gap, there is always going to be a reasonable chance of the team that wins the club championship losing form/picking up injuries. I think the current system is less than optimal for Kerry football and think a change should be made. |

Apart from Crokes no senior club in Kerry has come come remotely near being good enough to win the Andy Merrigan Cup in a very long time, certainly none in the mould of a Crossmaglen or Corofin as multiple winners. Crokes '92, Laune Rangers '96, Desmonds '85 tells its own story. It is doubtful Crokes in 2019 would have been strong enough to contest this time. The results at senior club are in stark contrast to Kerry clubs in the junior & intermediate All-Ireland club championships for some reason. Take Crokes away and senior club teams in Kerry look run of the mill at national level.
