Another good win for Dr Crokes in the county league, this time against the county champions Causeway Causeway short the kerry senior hurlers, good win for Crokes all the same, they are the story of the county league so far They have good young players in Charlie Keating, Nathaniel Doncel, Brian O'Connor A great feile final at the weekend, Ballyduff beat Crotta after extra time. Crokes are coming along nicely so far this year. A win in the championship would be a big boost for thrm. They lost to Abbeydorney by only a point in the championship 2 years back in a match they could easily have won They have 2 wins on the trot now in the county league now and are at home to Ballyheigue in Lewis Road on Friday, should be enthusisiam for it around the club after recent results. Hopefully more kids up to watch adult hurling in lewis road which can only be a good thing

Another win for Crokes tonight in the County League this time over Abbeydorney
They really have spiced up the county league division 1
before it was really just a north kerry league

It's also good to see Abbeydorney top of the table. On course of two in a row now. I know they got a walkover in the final last but did they actually finish top?

Ridiculous no draw been made I am not sure how the county league semi finals went ahead last night Abbeydorney bt Causeway Ballyduff bt Kilmoyley How they went ahead is beyond me! only 8 rounds played not 10 rounds as there should be www.kerrygaa.ie/fixtures-results/?compID=189905&leagueTable=yfor instance Kilmoyley never played Dr Crokes or Ballyduff if Kilmpyely lost one of these matches and Crotta won 2 matches then Crotta could have got a semi final place anyways surely all 10 rounds should be played before the semi finals?!!

Very odd alright. But not a surprise either. Like with last year the CB attitude seems to be just get it done out of the way ASAP regardless of actually playing the games.

Draw for the championship was made last night.
Groups again this year.
Group A Ballyduff Lixnaw Ballyheigue
Group B Crotta Crokes Abbeydorney
Group C Causeway Kilmoyley Ardfert
Disappointing to see Kilgarvan choose to stay Intermediate. But at the same time difficult to see how a dawr would ho had they been there.
I think Abbeydorney could be the team to watch this year.

Abbeydorney beat Ballyduff in the Div 1 final last night. That's two in a row for them now.

Abbeydorney beat Ballyduff in the Div 1 final last night. That's two in a row for them now. If Michael and Brendan O'Leary are fit and on form, they could be a force in the championship The group they are in for the championship has the 3 clubs longest without a senior county title Abbeydorney (1974) Crotta (1968) Dr Crokes ( never, Killarney hurling club won in 1969 with a number of Crokes players on it) Dr Crokes could take a scalp in this group , still Abbeydorney and Crotta be favourites to advance The big question is will Barry Mahony be playing with Crotta, as he is never in the 26 for the Kerry footballers, his cub should have him for the hurling championship matches

You'd imagine Barry Mahony isn't part of Jack O'Connors plans for the rest of the season and shouldn't have any issues playing with Crotta.

John Mark Foley has transferred to Portlaoise for football and hurling. Donal Down is with the kerry footballers and wont be able to hurl until Kerry are finished. Kilgarvan be too weak for senior without them

Like Barry Mahony Donal O'Sullivan doesn't seem to be in Jack's plains for the championship so it's a bit of a waste having him not able to play hurling.

Parnells won Div 2 county league this evening beating Causeway in the final. Hopefully a step in the right direction for them going forward.

Abbeydorney won the North Kerry league yesterday evening to go with the county league title. Definitely one to watch for the championship.

Championship starting too early, some teams without key players doing Leaving Cert
not fair for the players either, too old for the minors and miss the senior hurling championship
championship should start a week or two later

First round should be last weekend in June and take it on from there. Wexford hurler Conor McDonald was on a podcast saying the same thing in Wexford, running the Senior hurling championship off in 6 and a half weeks.

I've said before it puts the winners at a huge disadvantage when it comes to Munster having to wait weeks before playing in it.

I agree that there has been too much haste in getting the hurling championship played. We laugh at Kilkenny playing their senior football championship in May, but we're not a lot better when it comes to hurling. Most of us agree that it is great to see Dr Crokes playing senior championship, but they are scheduled to play 2 matches, 6 days apart, in June & then pack up until next year. How does this help promote hurling in Killarney?
On a different topic, where are the championship match schedules published. Today, I see on the Fixtures page of the Kerry site that Ballyduff play Ballyheigue on June 16th. On June 17th, O'dorney play Crokes and Causeway play Kilmoyley. Then on 24th, Crokes play Crotta. However, I can't see any other matched scheduled for either Senior or Intermediate championships. We got the senior draw on Radio Kerry, but what is the draw for the Intermediate championship?

It is very easy understand it, just get the hurling out of the way before Kerry exit the all ireland football championshio so there is a clear run of if for the club football championships and county senior football championship simple as that

Senior Hurling championship kicks off tonight. It would be good to see something about it on the Kerry GAA website.
Predictions?
Hard to see an upset this weekend. I'd got for Ballyduff, Abbeydorney & Causeway. I'd tip these 3 to all be in the semis, along with the winner of the Kilmoyley vs St. Brendans match - depending on draw for quarter finals of course.
For the Intermediate championship, Parnells must start as favourites. I think we almost need them to win promotion for the sake of Kerry hurling and that's not meant in any way to disrespect the achievements of Kilgarvan.

No real shock as Ballyduff kick off the championship with a big win over Ballyheigue.

You think Kilmoyley beating Causeway would be an upset??? That is a fair statement by you. Kilmoyley who have 26 SHC titles and a two in a row in Kerry as recently 2020 & 2021 not to mention a Munster title. I’m not saying Kilmoyley will win, but they have been the kingpins of Kerry hurling for the last 20 years.

Very disappointing Ballyheigue performance last nyt after the good strides they made last year. Of course missing your two best players through injury in Mike leane and Colin Walsh were a massive blow. A lot of other fellas need to step up to the plate though. Just on a side note, outside referees I wonder at times. A Ballyheigue player got absolutely cleaned last nyt with a head high shoulder charge into the chest/head and a yellow card.. If that was rugby , straight red and the player that got hit would probably not come bak on after HIA check

Well Causeway are the current holders and have been in three of the last four finals so it's not too farfetched to say it wouldn't be a surprise.

Causeway are defending county champions beat Kilmoyley last year and Kilmoyley are short key men
Causeway definitely favourites but you couldnt rule out Kilmoyley either given the championship pedigree they have
Hurling in Ballyduff is in very good health, 36 players togged out last night
Have had big numbers and huge success underage in recent times

7 point win for Kilmoyley who played some excellent hurling against Causeway.
Could be between Kilmoyley and Ballyduff this year.
Big win for Odorney too.

Thank God for Kilmoyley this weekend. They were outstanding and well worth their win in a great game. Pressure now on Causeway to progress from what is clearly the toughtest group.
O'dorney were much too strong for Crokes. Let's hope for improvement for Ballyheigue & Crokes in their second match or they will be left wondering why they are playing senior championship. I was delighted to see Crokes opt to play senior, and their league form was encouraging, but now I think that both they & Ballyheigue would be better served playing intermediate championship where they could get a run of games.
Speaking of Intermediate, where can we find fixtures?
