I only ask cos divisional teams are really dominating these two competitions and is it only a matter of time before it starts at Senior level. Would a thought be to make the County Championship be either all Club or all Divisional teams. I know the split season is new but I see some problems coming down the line in Kerry with fixtures. Plus are our County players playing more football( too much) than any counties. Would a hectic club season schedule have a knock on effect with injuries and freshness of inter county players for the following year. you could have a point with injuries and freshness, round robin in the club championship, round robin in the county championship, then district board championship, it is never ending for them. the round robin in the club and county has really made the itenary more challenging |

Round robin format could deliver dead rubbers in game 3 but the old format did not. |

Dingle v Spa – Championship experience to give Dingle the advantage
Austin Stacks v Na Gaeil - Stacks by a couple of points in a low scoring game

Programme for Stacks V Na Gael is online - a couple of interesting selections by Stacks and some interesting names on their bench including the one and only Kieran Donaghy. Good to see Dylan Casey on the comeback trail.
Na Gael name Andrew Barry at wing forward - another unusual one but good to see Andrew return from injury also.

Ya, looked at the programme earlier, strong Rockie brench, Donaghy, Casey and Brendan Sull as an example.
See on twitter that Joe O'Conner left the pitch on crutches at HT.
What happened?

Half time.
Stacks 0.07
Na Gaeil 1.03.
Na Gaeil dominated the first 15 minutes and left 3 or 4 points after them. Jack Sheehan scored a brilliant goal when he fetched a high one into the corner, decided not to take the mark but took on his man and buried it.
Joe oConnor went off injured after about 15 minutes and Brendan oSullivan came on.
Stacks came into the game as the half went on and they started to kick great long points especially from Shane oCallaghan and Conor Horan.
Facing into the second half it has the look of a game where Na Gaeil will regret wasted chances. Stacks are better at taking scores. Na Gaeil might need another goal.
Perfect picture and sound. I am casting the game from my phone to the big TV via chromecast. Its ideal.
Diarmaid oConnor had a fine first half as had Dan Goggin.

Stacks 14 points
Na Gaeil 1.08.
David Mannix kicked 3 super points in the second half
Na Gaeil lacked scoring power.
A strange think happened in the second half...the Stacks keeper got a black card about 15 mins into the second half so Wayne Guttrie came on and went into goal....and didnt go off again after 10 mins. Is that allowed.
Diarmaid was brilliant. Damien Burke was good too....what age is he. Stacks subs were stronger.
Donaghy came on a looks fit and mad for road.
Injuries to Jack oShea and Joe oConnor will be a concern for Stacks.

When Guthrie came on, stacks must have made a sub at that stage so one player on and two were off. Once the sin bin was over, stacks brought donaghy on for the sin binned keeper and they were back to 15
Stacks were deserved winners and were more clinical. NaGaeil just missing a bit of quality and rely on Diarmaid too much to create.
However Stacks are a hard team to like, fouled a lot and were lucky to have only got one black card.
Not sure how fit Donaghy is and probably not a good sign for Stacks to be relying on him
The quality of the stream was excellent although Marc is a hard listen

Nothing strange about it. Seán Quilter was withdrawn to allow Guthrie take his place between the posts - think the officials were wrong in allowing the substitution to take place before the next break in play. Na Gaeil were wasteful in possession & left a lot of scores behind them particularly in the first half. Thought ref was lenient on a few occasions - yellow carded Mannix for an off the ball incident & took no action against Dylan Casey who over carried but refused to release the ball to allow the free to take place - Casey was already on a yellow at that stage. |

Nothing dramatic, in fact it looked quite innocuous in the moment. He just laid off a pass, then went down. Not sure if he clashed knees with his challenger or just caught his studs in the turf. Seemed to be in some distress and looked very unhappy as he reached the dugout. Not good, I'd say. Perfect evening for football in Tralee. Mild but not muggy, dry, no breeze at all. Pitch in great nick. Game didn't quite live up to it but the second half was okay. |

you could have a point with injuries and freshness, round robin in the club championship, round robin in the county championship, then district board championship, it is never ending for them. the round robin in the club and county has really made the itenary more challenging The round robin in the Co Championship is not adding many games (and no extra games for R1 losers in old format) - the old format took three rounds before we had 8 teams in the QF stage - round robin has three games before two sides emerge from each group. Round robin format could deliver dead rubbers in game 3 but the old format did not. Point taken but before the Club Championship never ran into the County championship ..the new split season creates a new dynamic. |

Appeared late on to see out the game and he did well. His fielding ability and experience made for a reassuring presence in the backline in the closing stages. Good to see Dylan Casey back - looked fit and strong when he came on. |

Stacks won by converting more of their chances - Na Gael had some (too many in the end) bad wides and had little scoring threat from play relying on frees for most of their scores. Think the wides were 9 (NaG) to 3/4
Na Gael probably played better but lacked scoring ability.
Two big injuries for Stacks that could be telling with games coming thick and fast.
Mixed views on Stacks springing Donaghy from the bench for his first game of the season - what message does this send to the plethora of minor and u20/21 players that Stacks have had over the years. We trust a 39 year old who has played no football all year ahead of you is basically what management is saying. I appreciate he is a big character but the fact he has not played all year puts his case in a different class to those aging warriors others may cite who keep playing into their 40's - anyway its Stacks managements call.

Strange decision to leave Jack O'Shea on for so long. He was going down repeatedly from early on in the game. Even came out for the second half strapped up. They might regret that. |

Austin Stacks 0-14 Na Gaeil 1-8 HT 0-7 1-3
A fine crowd turned out to see a game of moderate quality. There is no doubt the return of Sam will ensure big crowds for all the games. Austin Stacks had to work hard to ensure what was deserved victory at the end, helped by Na Gaeil profligacy, in the opening half particularly.
Na Gaeil, aided by a very vocal support, started in whirlwind fashion and had the opening score from a Diarmuid O'Connor free for a foul on self. In all, I think he scored six from frees. I did not realise that was a noteworthy facet of his game. Not too long afterwards a long delivery reached Jack Sheehan, a lively full forward in the opening period. and after some trickery he belted home. Stacks replied with two points scored by ? . In my defence, depending on where I am seated, there is always a blind spot under lights for me. Last night it was on the terrace side at the Mitchells end. Paul O'Sullivan, a conspicuous performer, scored one but then Joseph O'Connor went off with a knee injury. At half time he crossed the field with the right knee heavily ice bandaged. Not sure if it is a recurrence of the injury he sustained against St. Finbarrs in the club championship. Around this time also it was noticeable that Jack O'Shea was limping. He reappeared in the second half,with a knee bandaged, but not for long. It looked as if Na Gaeil had got through for another goal but Ben Quilter made a crucial close range save. The closing part of the opening half featured a great point from the ever threatening Shane O'Callaghan and two fine efforts from Conor Horan. Diarmuid clocked two further frees, one for a foul on Jack Barry who had minimal impact on the game.
Damien Bourke, a solid character at CHB for Na Gaeil, opened the second half scoring. This was followed by a point from Mick O'Donnell after a galloping run when he blazed over and, with more composure, might have blazed under. Then the O'Sullivan brothers from Valentia played their part for their adopted parish. Brendan, he replaced Joseph O'Connor, put a beautiful ball through to David Mannix who turned instantly and slung over. Not too long afterwards Paul delivered a similar ball to the same man who turned instantly and slung over. David got three from play and was a big handful. Diarmuid tacked on a couple of more frees. More drama was to follow when the Stacks keeper was black carded for a deliberate pull down. Wayne Guthrie came on and Sean Quilter was sacrificed at the other end. Shane O'Callaghan got a great point after he had previously been fouled for which David Mannix exacted revenge. This steadied the nerves of the Rockies after the black card setback. Mike O'Donnell kicked another point after being supplied by that dinosaur, KD. He came on instead of Sean Quilter after expiry of the black card. Towards the end he made a key interception in front of his own goal when Na Gaeil were fighting for their lives. Still a wily old fox and could yet be a key man if injuries threaten to upscuttle Stacks.
Ovarall, Stacks were good and slick at times but too often looked vulnerable when Na Gaeil ran at them. Disappointingly, they resorted to fouling too often in the second half when under pressure at the back and I felt perhaps another black card or two could have been issued to improve their manners. They will worry about the seriousness of the injuries to Joseph and Jack O'Shea but will be reassured by the second half coming of Dylan Casey who seemed to be running freely. As already stated, the sighting of the old warhorse gambolling about will be a source of consolation as well.
Na Gaeil threatened more than they achieved which is reflected on a total of nine scores, as against fourteen. They would have been expecting more from the likes Jack and Andrew Barry. Diarmuid was effective but I felt the best midfielder on view was Mike O'Donnell who was ably assisted by Michael O'Gara who switched out there to replace Joseph O'Connor.
