They’ve 5 starters from last year’s team as well. Their number 11 looks a real player from what I saw of the Tipperary game. It seems to be the best minor team Clare have produced in recent years, next Tuesday will be very close I would say.

I suppose that might depend on what restrictions come in after Christmas week.

Team named for the game tomorrow. Will be on YouTube. Throw-in at 7pm. Clare looked good in their two games so far so I would be surprised if this wasn't a tight encounter.

I notice that Eoghan Hassett has been added to the subs. I have a vague memory that he may have been a member of the team/panel last year. If so m it is surprising that he is just at the tail end of the subs this year. Perhaps he is carrying an injury. In any case , I presume he is a member or that dynasty.

Veteran, you are thinking of Eoghan's older brother Gearoid. Both are sons of Adrian Hassett of the famous Laune Rangers footballers and both are serious forward talents. I am almost certain that Eoghan will be underage again next year,but I stress the 'almost'. Clare look like a very serious outfit. I saw a good few of that Clare team the day that St. Flannans hockeyed a hotly fancied Sem in the Moran Cup Final in Abbeyfeale, and it wasn't complacency. They were excellent - very good Frewen side last year as well but couldn't quite get the scores. However, I expect a much improved Kerry side after that hard battle against Cork (in all honesty, I know we won it on merit in the end, but Cork should never have left us back into it; that one will sting them on reflection) and I think that we should come through this. Best of luck to all involved.

Himself thanks for that. I thought we were feeble enough for long stages against Cork . Very likely they have improved. Two years ago we beat Clare in the Munster final and they had two Ruaines playing. I notice they had two Ruaines against Limerick as well. Surely they are not the same lads as it would mean they were just fifteen in 2018. In the the notorious 1992 senior final there were a couple of Ruaines on that Clare team. Presumably , these young lads are of the same lineage. Not a good omen!
I am old enough to remember back to 1964 when a fancied Kerry minor team , we were All-Ireland champions in 1962 and 1963, went across to Clare and were sensationally beaten. They were subsequently beaten by Cork who were subsequently beaten by Offaly in the final which I attended because Kerry played Galway in the senior final, sadly beaten. That minor final is memorable because it featured Tony McTeague who went to become a star senior, That Offaly team also had Willie Bryans and a host of others who formed the nucleus of the senior team who won All-Irelands in 1971 and 1972. Offaly certainly got value out of that minor team.
Going back to 1964, there was great commotion underneath me in the Hogan stand at half time. It was only on our lonesome journey back in the train that we found out what happened. Mick Donnellan , a sitting T.D. In Galway , dropped dead. The poignancy of that tragedy was heightened by the fact that two of his sons were playing for Galway, John and Pat. Of course they were not told about their father’s death until after the match. John stood in the ensuing election and replaced his father in the Dail.
A generation later , another Donnellan starred for Galway, Michael. I am not sure if John or Pat was his father. Three generations doing their duty for the Galway cause. Black cats, black kittens are not confined to Kerry.
I nearly forgot. Good luck to the lads this evening. I don’t want to revisit 1964.

Tipp winning the senior and Clare winning the minor. Some sensational year that would be for the weaker counties in Munster.

Clare captain Brendie Rouine is son of Brendan, a 19 Yr old sub in 92. Corner back Dara is a cousin. The Rouines that played 2 years ago are not the same boys they are there cousins however.

We were very poor up to the last five minutes or so. Then Clare fell foul to one of these awful slapped goals. One of the blights of football. We are flattered to be two goals up but I feel we will that lead and more judging by the way the referee is going about his business. Baby frees galore for Clare and three yellow cards for us. We will do well to finish with fourteen on the field of this bucko continues in this vein.

Camera positioning is terrible. View blocked at both ends.
Ref taking up where he left off at the interval, 4 yellows to 0 now.
Our shooting aint helping here either.
Only one side trying to play football though, Clare just throwing it around and waiting for frees.

Very composed in the 2nd half - three half backs excelled - ref was brutal, most frees were followed by a yellow card, Burke man of the match.

The anticipated Clare challenge never really materialised in the end. Which was just as well given the atrocious refereeing; we could have been in for a hairy ride there. Kerry playing some nice fast direct football at times, mixed in with some wayward shooting now and again. Totally dominant in the air. An unanswered 1-9 either side of the break put the game to bed.
Not too bad of a performance at all though it's hard to know where Clare are at. Hopefully the lads get to progress after Christmas; it's all up in the air now of course.

Much improved in the second half. It would appear that our basketball goal before halftime demoralised Clare. Seemingly, the Connaught final , Sligo/Roscommon , is brought forward to St. Stephen’s Day to beat the lockdown. We are scheduled to meet the winners. The worry is that this competition may be aborted. At least our lads got two opportunities to wear the green and gold. They will never forget that experience if indeed it transpires that some of them may never again get a chance to savior that sensation. Therefore , congratulations to all.
Of course the dominant figure in the match was the referee. On a miserable, wet night when the pitch was not unlike a skating rink and seventeen year olds had to contend with a bar of soap, he decided to blow for minimal contact when there was not a hint of malice and flash cards yellow cards right , left and centre culminating inevitably in two reds. Knows the rules backwards I suspect but no feeling for the game and no concession made for conditions or for youthful naivety. In his defence he was a little more even handed in dispensing justice in the second half, but really it is no defence of his performance. I suppose he too is inexperienced and may improve but surely he has played the game at some level and therefore should be more insightful and more appreciative of the variables which obtain from gams to game.

Not too bad of a performance at all though it's hard to know where Clare are at. Hopefully the lads get to progress after Christmas; it's all up in the air now of course. Kerry did really well around the middle eight in terms of winning our own kickouts and putting pressure on the Clare kickout. Great to get the win given the conditions on the night and overall general conditions. Sligo Roscommon in the Connacht Final on the 26th brought forward from the 29th .
Ulster GAA has yet to play their semifinals.At the moment Derry are due to play Tyrone on the 3rd of January in Clones and Fermanagh are due to play Monaghan in Breffni the same day. Hard to imagine they will go ahead as scheduled.
In Leinster it's Meath v Offaly and that's was fixed for the 3rd of January as well.
I'm not sure how the proposed calendar for 2021 will impact on whether this competition does get finished. Would be a shame for young lads at minor level to miss out, especially given the small number of games that would be required to finish off this competition. If the GAA had to wait 3/4/5 months to play it off, it would hardly affect things overall too badly.

I didnt see tonights game yet. I only watched the Kerry v Cork game yesterday.
If the ref was hard on Kerry tonight then i have say that Kerry got a few home town decisions at crucial stages v Cork when the game was on a knife edge. Cork could easily have won that game.

I agree with you . I said in my comments after the Cork game that the referee was “kind” to us.
