Mayo lose yet another final. There was plenty talk about them ahead of this one too but Galway played the match and not the occasion. Galway are deserving winners being the far better side on the evening and build yet another room in the house of pain for poor Mayo. Well done Galway! Great brand of football and scored some fine points.

Galway clearly the better team. Kerry were set up terribly yet weren’t far away from beating Mayo. 5 or 6 very good players in that Galway team. It’s a mystery how they lost to Mayo twice and also lost to Leitrim in Connacht!

Don't agree that it was a great game. Mayo showed that they can't play against a packed defence just as their seniors. Galway got very soft frees in the first half and got to build a head of steam. Mayo couldn't buy a free. Their goalie kept kicking to a crowded midfield until late on whereas Galway went short. Thought Mayo might have learnt from Kerry game but very stupid in possession.

A lot of one sided matches in the minor county championship yesterday evening. North Kerry, Mid Kerry and South Kerry had impressive victories. East Kerry are in action this evening so we'll have an idea what they're like. These seem to be the 4 teams who'll be competing for honours again. Once again, the club teams are out of their dept playing against the big divisional sides.

Rathmore for example, were obliterated yesterday, they won division two of the county league. Surely there should be some stipulation, at the very least that club teams have to be division one.

I always thought that club teams have to be in division 1 of the county league to be eligible for the championship, but apparently not looking at Rathmore. Even the teams in division 1 aren't strong enough to compete though. 3 club teams are in 1 group this year, so there could be 2, possibly all 3 of them in the quarter finals. From there on, they'll struggle against divisional sides who'll have played 3 competitive matches by then. The only club team that I can possibly see being anyway competitive over the next few years will be Austin Stacks in 2024! That's a long wait! When Shannon Rangers and Feale Rangers combined to make a North Kerry team last year, Tousist and Templenoe joined South Kerry and Kilgarvan joined East Kerry this year, it made it even more lopsided in favour of the divisional sides. This has to be looked at again by the county board.

The big question is why was this North Kerry amalgamation allowed happen thought the idea of county championship especially at minor level was to give players especially from smaller clubs a chance to play at a higher level and there are just too many clubs in this amalgamation for this to happen .The other divisional teams are especially poor this year west Kerry Kieran’s Brendan’s and even east Kerry ..The only exception is my own division south Kerry . Was at the game v laune rangers last might and while Laune rangers were really really poor but in my opinion even though north Kerry should stroll home with the number of clubs and players involved in this northern amalgamation South Kerry might give them a bit of a game can’t see any of the other teams coming close and yes county board need to look at this going forward for the benefit of Kerry football the ideal should be more players not less getting an opportunity to play at this level

NK very poor tonight vs Brendans who pushed them hard, some 'star' players are very individualistic which may be punished further down the track... I won't post programme as it was all over the place with loads of number changed and missing players listed or listed twice.
Oh, and if your lucky enough, on the back of tonight's programme there was a competition to win Kerry vs Galway tickets... seriously.... 😂

But the same problem persists for them, lack of scoring power. Did well to level it midway through the second half, but N Kerry pushed on and Cormac Dillon kicked some mighty scores to close it out

It must be difficult to pick an under 17 team from all of the North Kerry clubs. I haven't seen a lot of minor football over the past couple of years but I was surprised looking at the team sheet that not a single player from Beale or Ballylongford made the squad of 36. There was a time when both of these clubs were the beating heart of North Kerry football........

As regards North Kerry, surely there are lads not getting a run in the championship who might prove good enough down the line for county football. Its mad to have up to 13 clubs together. South kerry got Tuosist and Templenoe in with them..players getting lost down there too. At least Kilgarvans lads being in with kenmarw Shamrocks gives them a good crack at getting game time.

It's mad altogether. East Kerry had 49 players listed on their teamsheet. You would think that the aim is to give more players competitive outings at that grade. At u15, East Kerry are split into 2 and that should likely happen at minor level as well. Same with South Kerry. I kind of understand the North Kerry scenario, given the low level they were at with Shannon and Feale Rangers, and you could live with them as a single unit for a few years, to lift them up and make them competitive, but again only for a few years before it's reviewed. It's really something that needs to be monitored and changes made every few years to ensure a relatively competitive competition and not these super-divisions. Realistically, any division should have max 5-6 clubs. Any more defeats the purpose.

Even if Divisional sides had B teams. That wouldn't be right... but it at least given lads a chance.

From what I heard in the crowd at the Brendans game every lad who showed an interest and showed up for East kerry since they got together was listed against Brendans for some reason. Loads of them were on holidays or injured on the night tho. They're not the force they were no matter how many fellas they put on a lost. No kerry minor and Rathmore saw the writing on the wall and pulled the plug...and they had 4 or 5 at county standard.

Apparently Tomás not stepping up in Offaly... It’s like silly season and any 2+2 will be a four or a twenty two…. The rumour mill has started for the minor and U21 posts, if Fitzmaurice who is linked to his Sunday Game colleagues ticket in a Meath doesn’t venture that direction he would be a great addition to the underage structure in Kerry, Personally, I think the commute from Tralee to Dingle back to Navan with the addition of a young family isn’t feasible, whereas with underage in Kerry he could still keep his gig with the Sunday game and his articles in the examiner. To set the rumour mill even further, seeing as Fitz was the one who gave Tommy Griffin his first gig with Dingle secondary school, they would be in my opinion a nice fit for the U20 grade,

Tomás to Kerry underage is not in the same ballpark in terms of credulity.
