What is the logic of starting this competition this coming weekend when the competition cannot be completed until the 2020 Intermediate competition is completed.
Intercounty players have been away from their clubs all year and now are expected to drop back into the club scene with the minimum of preparation time. I get it that the schedule is tight but there is nothing to be gained from playing 3 of the four games this weekend as Crokes opponents are still unknown.
As well as being disrespectful and inconsiderate towards our intercounty panel it gives two fingers to supporters who will not be able to attend as the 200 spectator rule will still apply this weekend.

If the junior, intermediate and senior championships weren't finished on time and Kerry clubs couldn't enter the Munster club championships ye would also think that was a disgrace.

Your missing the point - playing some games this weekend does not bring forward the completion date for the 2021 competition - If Crokes can't play this weekend as their opponents are dependent on the completion of the 2020 intermediate competition what is the benefit/point in playing the other group games. Crokes back games will need to take place before the competition can be completed. Desmonds play Spa and Na Gaeil play Beaufort this weekend - the winners meet in the 2020 Intermediate final and the winners then take their place in the 2021 Senior competition with three games to be played before a group winner in known. Even if teams go out every weekend the group phase will not finish before Oct 2/3 with two weekends of no games for the seven teams being press ganged into action this weekend.

ya would be interesting to see who didnt line out yesterday with their clubs that played against Tyrone, more to the point on telling us how many injuries occurred in that game and how many were tactical or if we had gotten over the line, who potentially wouldnt have played next weekend - i assume for example Clifford would have missed a potential reply or all ireland final if that was a normal year that went to replay
while of course injurys tend to clear up quicker and more majsiticaly the weeks before a final, it would tell something all the same.

Moran didn’t line out. Dingle are a good solid unit and should have won by more. At this early moment the club is between them crokes and stacks.

How about Cormac Coffey and jack savage? Anyone from dingle putting their hand up for Kerry service? Yeah I think Tommy has been done for a few years now to be honest

A lot of these lads seem to be missing (Jack Morgan, Ferdia O Brien, Ciaran O Reilly, Michael Slattery, Donagh Mc Mahon, Adam Curran) - one would expect them to be the backbone of the seniors at this stage. Anyone know the whys and wherefores of the missing players - always a massive challenge to keep underage talent playing and for me this is a huge issue for the GAA that seems to be overlooked/ignored.

Jack Savage opened the scoring with a point from play,Followed up by a point from Brendan O Sullivan from distance,Jack Savage and Shane O Callaghan Exchanged 2 Frees each,a short kickout was excellently turned over near the sideline by jack savage and fouled by Conor Jordan leading to a wonder free from the sideline By Savage Put Rahillys ahead going into the water break
Water Break-Stacks 2 KOR 3
Straight off the water break Tommy Walsh rose highest for the kickout and played a ball into savage taking on 3 of them and beat the 3 and kicked a wonder score shooting on sight, stacks responded quickly with O Callaghan swinging the ball over the bar with his left leg from distance,following this quilter and savage traded point for point from play.
A outside of the right boot kick from brendan O Sullivan on the clubhouse side from 40 yards put stacks ahead going in at half time.
Half Time-Stacks 6 KOR 5
Rahillys started the better of the two sides after the half time whistle with savage scoring a free off the ground and point with his left leg from play.Michael O Donnell Who was introduced at half time scored a free from 13 yards to put the sides level again.Yet Again savage scored a point from play after some great defensive work by rahillys . Conor Jordan then was through for goal but drove his shot over the bar for a point. Jack Savage slotted another point over the bar this time a placed ball.A wonder score By Tommy Walsh On the right side put Rahillys ahead by 2 points going into the second half water break
Second Water Break-Stacks 8 KOR 10
Stacks introduced Dara O Brien who scored straight off the water break with a free from 21 yards,another point from play this time by o Brien put sides at 10 points a piece ,Then the crucial moment in the game came a break at pace after a turnover by the rockies put stacks through and a high tackle by buckley left Donal casey the referee no choice put to give a penalty to the home side, O Brien sent Foley the wrong way and put it in the top right corner. Dara O Brien Again Scored a point this time from 40 yards off the ground.Stacks in total control now A loop off of The Star with O Callaghan receiving and finishing it over the bar to put 5 between the sides. Rahillys Then got forward and Conor Hayes Was Away for goal but pulled out and was fouled and Savage was on hand to put the ball over the bar from the free .
A Brawl Broke Out then between both sides which only costed Rahillys as their was time still left on the clock which went on for 4-5 minutes. Rahillys Scored in the return of play with their last point of the day being a point from the main man jack savage from play.
Stacks broke Rahillys down the wing again a goal was on but Casey fisted it over the bar and referee Donal casey blew the game up
Final Score-Stacks 1-13 KOR 0-12
In terms of Kerry standard players
Savage could get a run but his lack of preforming when he got the opportunity would hold him back and attitude problems
Joe O Connor was very poor for a Kerry player Hanging off Tommy Walsh not able for him at all at midfield Tommy had a good game in all fairness

Apologies for the following question which just shows my ignorance. The Kerry club championship seem to operate differently from all the other counties, what with the divisional sides etc. Can anyone give me a short idiots guide to the structure of the Kerry Championship. Apologies again for my ignorance.

The Kerry club championship seem to operate differently from all the other counties, what with the divisional sides etc. Can anyone give me a short idiots guide to the structure of the Kerry Championship. Apologies again for my ignorance. There's a Club Championship and County Championship.. Club Championship are ranked into 4 divisions: •Senior •Intermediate •Junior Premier •Junior You win that Division,you get promoted to the Division above for the following season. There is also relegation play offs in each Division to determine who gets relegated into the Division below for the following campaign. County Championship: The 8 Senior clubs from the Club Championship play on their own (not as part of a Divisional side) in that years County Championship. Any club who is not a Senior club joins up with their local Divisional side such as East Kerry/Mid Kerry or Feale Rangers and so on. The Divisions' management picks the best players from the clubs they have available to them. The winning Club/Division get to select the Kerry captain for the following season, usually a player from that respective Club/Division. County Championship is played on a knockout basis apart from the 1st round where after the losers play off against each other and from there in it is knockout. The County Champions are determined from the County Championships, if a Divisional side wins the County Championship then the winning club from the Club Championship goes on to represent Kerry in the Munster and All Ireland Club Championships. If a Club wins the County Championship, then that club gets the honour of representing Kerry.

The crucial point, implied by the previous post, is that every player in every club has the opportunity to play in the County Championship, be it for the club itself but more commonly the local divisional side.

It sounds a good system. Most other counties, if you are playing for a small club you don’t get tho play elite level football and lots of good players just don’t get the exposure or experience needed to be considered for the county

Group 1 decided today with Stacks coming from 8 points down in the 2nd half to beat Dingle and take top spot ahead of the home side.
Rahillys secured their senior status by beating Legion who are headed for the relegation playoff now.
Group 2 wide open after excellent wins for Templenoe over Crokes and Spa away to Kenmare.
All teams level on 2 points heading in to the final round.
Crokes and Kenmare - who've had some great contests in the last few years - go head to head in the last round.
A draw would be enough for Crokes to progress.

Format has been changed this year from what i've read in a couple of places - so instead of winner only to the final it's now top 2 in each group in to the semi finals.
If Crokes/Kenmare drew, they would be level on head to head and then go to points difference which would put Crokes through with winner of Spa/Templenoe.
My only doubt would be if both games were draws.
Head to head couldn't be used with everyone on 3 points, so my assumption was it would be points difference which would leave Crokes on top rather than having a 4 way playoff.

Stacks club notes mention semi finals anyway. austinstacks.ie/senior-club-notes-21st-september-2021/SENIOR FOOTBALL: We travel to Dingle on this Sunday afternoon (26th Sept) to play the home side in the 3rd and final round of the Club Championship. Throw in at 2.30pm. With both sides already through to the next round after their two wins in the opening rounds the result of this third round game will just determine who tops the group. There will then be two semi finals (Winner Group 1.v 2nd placed Group 2; Winner Group 2 .v. 2nd placed Group 1) and a Club Championship Final on a date to be finalised.

Thanks Diego...I've deleted previous post with wrong scenarios. So Top 2 from each group in Senior play a semi-final. Relegation is bottom club from each group.
Semi-finals are: Austin Stacks v Group 2 second, and Group 2 winner v Dingle - I presume Group winners at home for semi-final and final at neutral venue.
Relegation: Killarney Legion v Group 2 fourth placed team at neutral venue.

Strand Road Had A Good Win Over Legion Today Securing Their Senior Status For Another Year.
It was a game where Rahillys could have scored atleast 2 more goals and about 5 or 6 points but weren’t clinical enough
Standout preformers
Jack Savage David Moran Barry John Keane Darragh Mcelligott Tommy Walsh Donagh Buckley Cormac Coffey Con Barrett Gavin O Brien Shane Foley Very good for strand road
In terms of legion Peter O Sullivan,Eoghan O Sullivan,Danny Sheehan
Buckley has a been a great find for us this year as a corner back has done excellent jobs on top class corner forwards all year
Shane Foley Made 4 Point blank saves and is a very young goalie and has a amazing kickout on him.
I only took track of our scores and they where
Jack Savage 1-4(1P))(2F) Barry John Keane 0-2 Cormac Coffey 1-0 Tommy Walsh 0-2(1M Gavin O Brien 0-1 Shane Mcelligott 0-1
Jack Savage And Young Conor Hayes Dropped an awful lot of ball short
Strand road played some beautiful football today in bad conditions but the last pass let us down a lot
Cian Gammell struggled with savage big time in the first half and Peter O Sullivan was switched onto him in the second half and did well enough limiting him to no score from play
Some Deep Runs By Gavin O Brien Con Barrett And Cormac Coffey guided us to victory aswell
Wouldn’t be getting too carried away as a strand road man as legion where missing a two main players Lyne and O Donoghue
I think jack savage is worth another go with kerry some of the preformances he’s put in with us this year have been absolutely out of this world mainly the stacks game which comes to mind first
Cormac Coffey is potentially worth another look as a half back often when he was played with kerry he was put into the corner which isn’t his position at all
Be interesting to see how we fare in the championship we need to do alot better then last year as last year was the most disappointing seasons for the narries since 2014
