This has got plenty of publicity, glad for the lad that it has worked out well for him, he clearly has a love for the hurling |

any truth in the rumour that Dr Crokes are contemplating going senior in hurling?
They certainly have some good young home grown hurlers and picked up a few good players from other counties in 2020.
would need all this year panel on board again in 2021 to make the step up

They may not to on the same level as the likes of Ballyduff etc but the only way they'll improve is by making the step up. At the moment i would ay they wouldn't be too far off Ballyheigue at the moment. When Kilgarvin were going well about 12 or so years ago they should have made the step up themselves, you can't wait around forever. |

I think Dr Crokes could be competitive at senior with their present team but would need their full squad, if a few were not available or a few dual lads decided to play football only, they would lose competitiveness very quick |

Causeway B, Tralee Parnell’s B, Dr. Crokes B, Duagh and St. Pat’s East Kerry will take part in the county junior hurling championship for year. This is very good imo. For the last few years there's only be 3 team in the Junior championship and really wasn't doing anyone any good. This can only be good.

Common trait is small-ball land ancestry, The Banner Ingredient in Matthew's case! Now where's that TCD genetics professor, professor my arse! Ballythefireside quote of the day - Every person who has mastered a profession is a sceptic concerning it; but to be a poet is a condition, not a professionP.S. Credit auld pals Frost and Shaw! |

Causeway B surely are intermediate, strong B team actually, I expect that it may be a typo and Causeway are entering a third team in the Junior? great to see Tralee and Killarney clubs fielding 2 adult hurling teams each though |

I would say they would have the numbers for a third team so you could be right. |

Any more on Crokes going into the senior championship? I'd love to see them have a hop off it, they'd get a few trimmings but it's the only way to kick on really for them.

They are 100% playing in the senior championship. They will have a senior and a junior team this year - I wonder is this the frist time Crokes have fielded 2 hurling teams ? |

Div 1 of the county league kicked off last night. While the newcomer didn't get a win they all put in a good shift. Parnells were well beaten but for their first game at that level they did alright for a long time. Crokes well beaten by Crotta but again for their first game at that level it'll take them time, plu had a lot injured afaik. Kilgarvin lost out to Ballyheigue in a far closer game but i'd expect them to be able to hild their own being more experienced.
Ballyduff and Causeway drew and Kilmoyley bear Lixnaw.

Kilgarvin lost out to Ballyheigue in a far closer game but i'd expect them to be able to hild their own being more experienced. Ballyduff and Causeway drew and Kilmoyley bear Lixnaw. Reading the Crokes line up, they were short Michael Lenihan, Tom Doyle and Chris Doncel. The 3 of them would make a huge difference, were short 1 or 2 others as well. Crotta were short 3 or 4 kerry seniors too. Crokes had a few names in the team , looked to have picked up at least 2 new players , always likely to be a few from other counties floating around Killarney Not a bad start for Crokes at senior. Kilgarvan were short John Mark Foley, Donal Sullivan, Daniel Casey and Gearoid Fennessy, so a great showing by them. Parnells well beaten in the end, great to see clubs from outside North Kerry in Divison 1 of the county hurling league. unless you have teams from outside north kerry you may as well call it the north kerry league I expect a great senior hurling championship this year, very open though Kilmoyley will fancy their chances again under John Meyler, Kilmoyley rarely in their history win a championship on its own, usually do back to backs |

Encouraging to see Rathmore fielding a minor hurling team in 2021
Must be a first ??
They have fielding consistently at juvenile for a good few years now but not at minor
Rathmore played Tralee Parnells in minor hurling in Keel today ! Truly novel
Firies have good under 13 and under 15 teams too, all encouraging
Bit disappointing Dr Crokes\St Pats werent able to field at under 17 and under 15 . Means no Killarney town team, in the past players from outside the town would have fallen in with them, so maybe the strength of other clubs fielding on their own caught them a bit, I believe they have numbers at younger ages though
A cracking league match in the senior league between Dr Crokes and Kilgarvan today by all accounts, Crokes won by a point. Both clubs seem to be enjoying Division One even if some matches will be a bit hot for them.

These figures are taken from the GAA annual accounts. adult hurling teams will have grown in 2021 as Dr Crokes and Parnells now field two teams each , Abbeydorney , Causeway and Crotta are also fielding 3 adult teams each. COVID has meant less travelling the world so young lads are around and a few auld lads like a gallop with teams where the standard drops a bit. Still it is amazing for rural hurling clubs in NK to be able to field 3 teams. Bigger numbers hurling in East Kerry overall too with Crokes having 2 adult teams and St Pats also having an adult team and numbers at underage in Firies and Rathmore growing. There is big population base in East Kerry and Killarney to promote hurling though football is king and so strong In the past Kenmare and Kilgarvan would have occasionally fielded 2 teams but not at present, Kilgarvan have the makings of a senior championship team shortly I feel, have serious talent and decent numbers Overall positive, the early 1990s was the best era really, you had 3 south kerry teams in the senior championship St Pats East Kerry, Kenmare\Kilgarvan, and Austin Stacks. I can recall St Pats winning a match , Kenmare \Kilgarvan getting to a senior final. Austin Stacks won a minor championship in 1986 and were a force in the senior championship in the early 1990s arising from that team , recall them at senior championship beating Kilmoyley, drawing with Ballyheigue when Ballyheigue were a force at senior |

Question to Kerry GAA Officer: will the club hurling championship games be shown on "pay per fiver" again this year. The 2020 set up was excellent.

Any word on this Mickmack? how many are actually allowed to attend the matches? I wonder might the county hurling be held in Fitzgerald stadium in 2021? It would allow all supporters to attend it |

Well , one weekend of three down
Causeway look the sharpest so far, and odds have shortened with the bookies
Kilmoyley took a while to shake off Ballyheigue but when they did, they looked impressive and ran up a big score. Ballyheigue despite the heavy defeat on the scoreboard are a team heading the right direction.
Abbeydorney fell over the line against Dr Crokes by a point, injuries are hurting them. Crokes took a bit too long to get into their rythmn in this match and it cost them at the end. They could easily have got the draw or even a win. An encouraging start for them at this level. Bohane, Heffernan and Carroll impressive for them along with Shane Lyne at wing back and Milner at 3. They might not come as close v Crotta but who knows.
Be interesting to get a look at Ballyduff, Crotta and Lixnaw next weekend

After a few very bad years Ballyheigue look to be getting back on track. It's still quite a few years since they last won a championship game afaik. |
