Kerry Minor Football 2022

[horsebox77]

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.... 😂

Much better performance from St Brendans compared to their first game against E Kerry. 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........

[mack21]

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.

[Annascaultilidie]

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

[mack21]

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.

[mack21]

put on a list I meant

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,

Fitz to Meath makes no sense and is hard to credit.

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

Any news on the change from u17 to u18 for minor? Heard a few whispers that it could be happening but not too sure

John Prenty, the Connacht Council secretary said this on the 13th of July......

A leading GAA official has told The Mayo News that proposed changes to the minor grade at inter-county level could see the football and hurling championships return to the Under-18 age-grade next season.
Connacht GAA Council Secretary, John Prenty told The Mayo News last night that while last Friday evening’s All-Ireland Under-17 final in Hyde Park was ‘a huge success’, there is growing momentum for a change to the age-grade next season.
“I think everyone sees the need for change. There is merit in the Under-17 grade but, personally, I feel the players are probably too young for such intense championship competition.
“There was a motion at February’s Congress (which was held in Bekan) looking to change the grade to Under-19. That got 55 percent support. Now, there’s a review taking place to see look at this and other proposals and it’s expected there will be a Special Congress in October to deal with the matter,” Prenty explained.
The proposal at the GAA Congress in Mayo earlier this year would have seen the end of the Under-17 and Under-20 championships, but it didn’t receive the required 60 percent support from delegates on the floor.
There were also three motions from clubs calling for the old Under-18 grade to apply to minor again. Now, the review committee is looking at all aspects of the matter and Prenty feels they may revisit the Under-18 grade proposal.
“Personally, I think the minor grade should be at Under-18,” he said.
“There’s a huge difference between Under-17 and Under-18 football and hurling and there seems to be a growing sense of this throughout the association,” he added.

However, Sean Kelly came out with this on the 3rd of August.....

Former GAA president Sean Kelly has described the deferral of deliberations on inter-county age grades as a "good decision".

Speculation had been growing that the minor grade would return to U18 next year. However, the Kerry man revealed in a tweet that there will be no Special Congress this autumn and that the Croke Park working group would present proposals to next year's Congress instead.

Time will tell i suppose!

Seems the feature that should prevent viewing posts from posters under 25 posts and on probation is broken.

Hence a bunch of silliness from the teenagers. Deleting posts and accounts as I see them, but I'm not here 24 hours a day.

Thanks, you're doing a great job 👍

Have to laugh at the uniquely named Mohammad Buckley attached to no club who is expected by one poster to start midfield next year.

Using a county minor selectors name as a username did make me smile though.

In fairness there is a tight ship hrre, fair dues.
