Hard luck to the Kerry ladies, Unfortunately we just met a very good Meath team. I will say its great seeing passion back in Meath here and they really love this team. Great to see female sports get this exposure and hopefully it encourages more participation form girls all over the country. The standard of women's sport is much higher than ten years ago in my opinion. I am sure coverage is important but when I sit down and watch women's games I find them very enjoyable with good scores etc. Absolutely just watched the euro finals and the skill level is incredible. You don't have the same cynicism either which is refreshing too. |

It used to drop off after U16 but this year we have 3 adult men's teams and 4 ladies. I had the pleasure of being involved with a girls team from under 13 to minor. We won a fair bit especially at U16 and I know a few of the girls will go on to play intercounty. The standard is massive and very enjoyable to watch. I just love seeing the girls still involved. |

they did the county proud and hopefully will be back quickly.
small margins at key points turned it into a very unfair final score, however Meath were deserving winners.

Hopefully Kerry can learn from this. A couple of things were the difference in my opinion.
1) Kick Outs. When Meath were on top in the 1st half we continued to give Meath back the ball from our restarts. We learned from Shane Ryan that it is vital to secure your own ball when the pressure comes on.
2) Physicality. Meath were much more physical in the tackle than our ladies were and turned over ball much faster than our ladies. They hunted in packs and did not allow for any space for any Kerry forwards once they reached the Meath 'D'. Compare this to the first goal Meath scored when a forward was allowed through before passing off to the Meath half back who finished.
3) Time on the ball. I felt on a couple of occasions there wasn't enough quick hands and fast lay offs in the forward line and girls were carrying the ball into the tackle a bit too much. This played into Meaths defensive set up and meant a lot of our attacks broke down without really testing the Meath defence at times.
Might seem a bit negative this analysis, but it's what I thought were the definitive factors in winning/losing this game. There is a strong core of players there with many still quite young and inexperienced a good management in Long & Quill. Hopefully they can take these learnings and start having Kerry ladies consistently at the top table of ladies football once again.

The issues to be addressed are very similar to those that Kerry had v Tyrone in 2021 mens semi. The knowhow is there now to rectify these and it would be great to see the ladies management sitting down with Jack and co to share experiences and knowhow etc |

They got plenty of bodies around the D' while Kerry weren't tracking much at all. Maybe Paddy Tally can mix it with the women next season if he stays on. |

While I agree Meath totally deserved to win I was disappointed with the standard of the refree. It was refreed like an u12 game. Compared to the semi finals it was totally different. It seemed like the refree wanted to be the star .

I hope the team can move forward and learn from this loss. Meath are worhty champions. Great welcome in Killarney last night despite the pouring rain. I think Louise Ni Mhuircheartaigh was the last person getting back on the bus, such was the demand for photos and autographs. Credit too to Elaine Kinsella (Radio Kerry) who was a proper MC on the night.

I wonder why the senior county final had to be finished on the day.
Maybe there was a reason,
surley a replay would have been been a better option.

From the radio Kerry website....
Southern Gaels are through to a Munster Senior semi-final against Mournabbey or Ballymacarbery over the weekend of October 21st to 23rd.
Finuge/St Senans are to play Fermoy or Clonmel Commercials in the Munster Senior Plate semi-final over the weekend of October 14th-16th.
I think that answers the 'plate' question.
As far as my own question, why shootout rather than replay,
Its a very tight schedule....
I don't think a senior county final should be decided by a shootout.
Just my opinion, obviously as the world progresses there seems to be less and less time.

I notice that there is a lot of moaning about the unfairness of finishing a match on a point kicking competition. What is unfair about asking a senior player to kick a ball ,unchallenged , twenty five meters out in front of the goal. Surely any senior player worth her salt should be able to perform that feat, regardless of the amount of energy she expended during the game,
Do they not repeatedly practice that skill , while being tackled , during their training sessions? If they did one would expect them to effortlessly convert those free shots. The suspicion is that they not spend much time shooting for points while training , rather pass the parcel is the “skill” being executed.
If the men folk were tasked with kicking a free in front of the posts from say thirty five meters out , the worry is that we would see the same pathetic results and the same moaning about the unfairness of it all.
Practice your point kicking ladies and gentlemen and quit the moaning.

Practice your point kicking ladies and gentlemen and quit the moaning. That is being a bit harsh Veteran. They do practice point kicking in training. but you are not allowing for the unbelievable tension and pressure involved in a shootout, after about 90 minutes of a super fast, super competitive football match, tired bodies, tired minds and enormous mental pressure that makes it harder to kick which should be - in theory - an easy kick |

they could take a run up if the wanted. two white flags placed 25 metres from goal (roughly 10 metres apart)and the ball had to be kicked on or before the virtual line between them.

I heard that was Kerry's 12th League, when was the last one?
Yes they played some great football and tore Galway apart.
It would be fantastic to see the Kerry ladies regain the AI after so long. It's actually incredible how long we are without a ladies AI given our extreme domination of the sport in it's first decade.

Kerry last won Division 1 in 1991, almost as long ago as the last All Ireland (1993) - hopefully both of these will read (2023) by year end! |
