Great to have club action back today in Division One of the County League
Tough on duals clubs who had district board football league and then hurling matches the following day but such is the life of a dual player
With a 10 team division 1, plenty of matches. Dr Crokes and Parnells faced off for the frst time ever in a division one league game today, Parnells won
Abbeydorney beat an understrength Kilmoyley , Barry Mahony got a load of scores for Crotta O'Neills in their win over St Brendans

not to be for Kilmoyley , so near but Naas were just bit more balanced a team over the hour an amazing season for Kilmoyley and it has really raised the profile of kerry club hurling can Kilmoyley or another club from Kerry land this all ireland title the coming season? certainly Kilmoyley;s journey adds spice to the 2022 county championship, Kilmoyley on a pedestal to be shot at and other clubs will fancy a cut off Munster Kilmoyley's run sgould show Kerry clubs they believe they can compete at this level and you'd hope an All-Ireland title can be won. I'm not sure what happens if Kilmoyley win the county championship this year can they play in Munster? As far as i know when an Intermediate/Junior team win a Munster title and if they were to not be promoted they can't play in the province the following year. Kilmoyley have set a standard now for the kerry county champions. Plenty within Kerry fancy their chances of beating them come the county championship and with good reason too Kilmoyley's achievement in winning Munster really was an amazing one, as far as I am aware kilmoyley can play in munster intermediate in 2022 again if they win Kerry, if they had won the all ireland, it would be different |

Good to seen Rathmore will have a team in Div 3 this season. yep. as posted previously, plenty of under age hurling in Rathmore for a long time now Rathmore have had adult hurling teams at different stages in their history , 1930s senior and 1980s junior I just hope St Pats East Kerry can survive now Rathmore gone solo It is possible 4 adult hurling teams will field in east kerry in 2022 ( Dr Crokes with 2 teams, Rathmore and St Pats) Firies also have good numbers last few years at juvenile and may field in under 17 in 2022 |

Barry Mahony would be some addition to the Kerry team for the upcoming Joe McDonagh cup. His own choice at the end of the day I suppose. |

Rathmore fielded an adult hurling team for the first time in near 40 years last night, beat St Pats, had 25 plus players togged
Fielded a minor hurling team in 2021 too for the first time ever, wonder have they a minor team in 2022?
All encouraging
Bit disappointing too Dr Crokes and St Pats not fielding at under 15 and under 17 , surely Killarney town, Kilcummin , Listry, Fossa etc would have enough numbers at this age group to have teams?

We dont know what kind of team Ballyduff had out, but great to see Dr Crokes get first win against a North Kerry senior team today. A fillip for those promoting hurling in the club and those that the brave decision to play senior
Rathmore fielding a minor team for a second year in a row is another positive
Crotta o'Neills are flying in the county senior league, watch out for them

Disappointed to see Crotta gave a walkover in the county league final last week. Anyone has any idea why it happened?

Anyone has any idea why it happened? seems bizarre, Crotta havent won the county league in over 20 years I reckon and were absolutely flying in this year's league Abbeydorney have never won the county league! They were also in great form and it would have made for a great final on the eve of the county championship. I am sure Abbeydorney would have wanted to win the final on the field rather than be awarded the final A shame really as I thought this years competition was ran very well, 10 teams with 9 rounds of matches , the fact that Parnells and Crokes are now in division one facilitates a 10 team league. not a good news story this , I was looking forward to this final |

If needed be I'm sure it could have been refixed for another date. |

Are you sure Darragh O'Connell is back with Abbeydorney as in Darragh O'Connell that was with Cuala and Dublin?? I heard the Abbeydorney chairman on the radio and he mentioned a Darragh O'Connell but I thought it was part of bunch of players coming through off last years minor team rather than the former kerry senior and dublin senior hurler! tomorrow night will tell I suppoise |

Vet
Barry was in flying form for Crotta o'Neills all spring and early summer
No injury as far as I am aware. In the USA for the summer like so many others of his age
He will be back in Crotta\Senans\Kerry colours in the not too distant future

Crotta 2-16, Ballyheigue 1-10
Nolan was superb and showing what a loss he was to Kerry. Ballyheigue only getting 1-1 from play is worrying for them. It's a very long time now since they've had a championship win.

It's a very long time now since they've had a championship win. must be 10 years since Ballyheigue won a championship match, at one stage they should really have regraded to intermediate. Not now though, they have some good young players , they are gaining competitiveness at senior and have a strong juvenile section. It will still be 5 years before they are a serious force again I reckon |

Tonight's matches will be interesting
Both St Brendans and Causeway are short players owing to summer travels
With Ben O'Connor at the helm, St Brendans seem to really mean business so I slighty fancy them
In the other match, Kilmoyley are short two key players through injury Flor McCarthy and Daniel Collins. This leaves them vulnerable, watch out for two additions to last years team though
Robert Monahan kerry under u17 football midfielder in 2021 and half forward for the Kerry under 20 hurlers in 2022. Also former Kerry footballer Barry O'Sullivan from Dingle is reported to be back hurling with Kilmoyley in recent weeks. Both will be a boost to Kilmoyley's challenge
Abbeydorney will fancy a chance on an upset tonight though. Good league form and Michael & Brendan O'Leary back is a huge boost for them. Lots of talent in Abbeydorney. Kilmoyley to win, but just about

Abbeydorney getting a draw is a good result for them this evening.
Causeway getting a win without a lot of requlers is a very good result for them as well.

Tralee Parnells won the Div 3 Féile title yesterday. Won all their games along the way as well. Won some of them matches handy too which suggests they could have operated a division higher which is a good sign of them and the Kerry Feile standard The rise of Parnells continues, all kinds of milestones reached North Kerry under 21 title in 2021 Kerry Feile title 2022 National Feile title 2022 Fielding 2 adult hurling teams The Kerry intermediate championship is the next one to tick off the list. will not be so easily annexed, Kilgarvan will have eyes on it too and St Brendans have big numbers at adult level so their 2nd team will fancy it. If Kenmare could mobilise a full team , they have capacity to be competitive as well, football seems so strong in the club though, hurling is suffering but it was good to see them fulfilling all their fixtures in the county league this year This Feile success will attract the headlines but what pleases me most about them is that they are fielding a team in every age group year in year out. It is fair to say hurling in Tralee has not been in such a good place since back to the early part of the last century when Tralee clubs were winning the senior county championship well done to all in Parnells and also the county board and munster council who promoted\assisted the Parnells project |

Great win for Tralee Parnells & for Kerry underage hurling.
Ballyduff must be wondering what they could have achieved, as they were very unlucky to lose to Parnells in the Kerry qualifier final.
Presume next year the Kerry representatives will play in Div 2.

County championship never easy to predict, but one thing is clear from the weekend - ignore the league form.
Didn't see the Crotta win, but no surprise in the result. By all accounts, Crotta eased up in the 2nd half and could have won by more.
Brendans were disappointing, but the conditions were poor. Never write Causeway off, despite being down a large number of players.
I thought O'Dorney were lucky to get a draw at the end. Kilmoyley were marginally the better team. I fear the draw was a bad result for Dr Crokes, as both teams will be trying to up a big score against them to top the group.
Finally, given that the inter county championships have been compressed, why is there such a hurry to run off the county hurling championship & county league. Some team will probably be finished next week. No wonder so many players have headed off for the summer. With this structure, a 2 week break between group matches would be the least that a team could expect.

Can someone confirm the Kerry hurling championship format for me please? 3 Groups of 3. 2 of the Group winners go thru to semi-final. - decided by an open draw, I believe. 3rd Group winner & three 2nd placed teams play in 2 quarter finals. Three 3rd placed teams exit the championship. |

Three 3rd placed teams exit the championship. It is actually a good format, brought about by Dr Crokes going senior, the co board have done well coming up with it I know the clubs are not too happy about the timing of the competition in that it is over too early in the year, final was to be end of July , now 1st week in August owing to kerry progress to Joe McDonagh final. The Clubs really had damn all access to the county players until about 2 weeks before the competition started, also bit more of a gap between games when it gets to knock stages would be better. ideally start the competition a week later and final the end of August. But look putting togther a fixtures schedule to cater for everything is near impossible |

hopefully the weather is better for this weekend's matches
you may as well have been hurling in November so bad was last weekend!
Barry Sullivan from Dingle is a good addition to Kilmoyley's team based on last weekend but they looked a bit sluggish but could ignite yet especially when Daniel Collins returns
Crotta continued their good league form and will fancy their chances against Lixnaw this weekend, Lixnaw have a good trainer in Conor Gleeson Tipperary and the fact that this is his 2nd season , he will be more familiar with them and the competition now, Crotta to shade it this weekend but Lixnaw to improve as the competition goes on
A lot of interest in Ballyduff v Causeway as Ballyduff have such young talent coming through and Causeway made light of their absentees last week in beating St Brendans, slight prefence for Ballyduff in his one
