South Kerry are poor this year but South Kerry have been the most consistent divisional side since around 2003 up to the last year or so. South Kerry take the county championship extremely serious, and train accordingly. They just happen to be poor at the moment but they contested a final only 4-5 years ago and they still out in a big effort. Your point about Shannon Rangers, maybe they need to merge with Feale Rangers like they are doing at underage level. My overall point is the divisional system will fall on its face if the divisions don’t have a sense of Identity. Id argue that one north Kerry team might have a greater sense of identity than the current Feale and Shannon rangers. The county board needs to push for St Kieran’s to create a district championship. Take Desmond’s, Brosna, Knock out of North Kerry, take Currow and Scart out of East Kerry and Put in Ballymac. They would be a worthwhile champion that would only help the identity of St Kieran’s. Imagine being the Kieran’s manager and being able to go watch and scout players in that championship just like the East, Mid And South Kerry managers can. The county board need to likewise merge the Brendans and Tralee town championship. Again this would make for a more meaningful comp all round. I've never understood why there's no St Kierans League and Championship. I think at one point it was tried. The teams who play in East Kerry, Cordal, Scart and Currow, I would think aren't benefiting from being there. Brosna and Castleisland are competitive in North Kerry so maybe they wouldn't want to move. Ballymac are the ones who really miss out as the Tralee District Championships etc don't really do anything for anyone. Yep good idea, just call it the Castleisland District Championship

The eoghan rougha idea is a no brainer for me amalgamate the 2 northern districts and you still have the 8/8 split. Kenmare getting relegated would they go with eoghan ruadh aswell or go with kenmare district?

Feale Rangers beat St Brendans 15 to 13. Go North Kerry! - first Co Championship win around these parts for a few years. Encouraging. Martin Stack from Moyvane kicked 11 points. Was not expecting the win, Brendan's have been more affected by Na Gael's departure than I reckoned.
Great result for Feale and sounds like Barry O'Mahoney had a fine game too, a good smattering of Senan's lads on the panel which is great to see.
Green shoots for North Kerry football this year. Not expecting Shannon Rangers to do much but still, onwards and upwards!

Traditionally East Kerry is 10 clubs with 3 or 4 in the senior ranks, leaving 6 or 7 to form East Kerry team. This year that number is 8 with Legion getting relegated and none promoted. Highly likely Rathmore or Legion win Intermediate this year. Standard of senior clubs very poor at the moment, nothing to touch Dr Crokes of 10 years ago, Mitchells of 1960s, Stacks of 1970s or Laune Rangers of 1990s

Really disappointing from Radio Kerry today, no live coverage of any of the three games currently on just updates and bloody music in between. What's the point of not even doing live commentary of one game.
It's often they'd have full commentary of an East Kerry or South Kerry championship game when they're on but nothing for the actually County Championship!! Bizarre.

I had RK on in the car today. To say some of the reporting from around the grounds was poor is being kind.

Especially with no Premier league fixtures in England you'd think it would have been a perfect way to fill up the time.

Anybody think that the jerseys were very similar last night between EK and KOR. Surely the red one would have been more appropriate than both wearing blue.

Their news coverage seems to consist mostly of - "Tralee woman says something about being entitled to something", or "Councillor states the bleedin obvious to keep his name in the media" Seems like they don't have any reporters at all and are just depending on people ringing in their soundbites. There's rarely any actual news. No surprise that the sports coverage is patchy too. I know it's only local radio but I'm sure it used to be better. Still though, they did give us this, which sort of puts them in credit forever really...

EK must have forgotten their jerseys and this made it hard to differentiate the players. I’d prob give KOR a retrospective walkover due to the on pitch confusion caused by EK bringing the wrong kit

Were the jerseys East Kerry were wearing Glenflesk jerseys? It looked like a mish mash of a number of jerseys with Glenflesks bit at the top. Similar in style to the Thing St Brendans Wear.

The goal is credited to Aidan Crowley (No 14) but I think it was Brian Crowley (No 4) who got it.

Anyone at any game other than the 2 highest profile games of Stacks Na Gaeil and East Kerry Rahillys give a small report on who impressed?

Rathmore or Legion might win the intermediate and that would weaken EK for next year. Also, if Stacks reach the county final, Kemmare are relegated. Of if Stacks win the play off, Kenmare are relegated. If it comes to pass that Kenmare get relegated, would Donal oSullivan and Kilgarvan be in with Seanie oShea next year under Kenmare District? I would love to see Kenmare Shamrocks and Kilgarvan come together in adult hurling and play as Kenmare District in the hurling championship! Kilgarvan panel is not big or strong enough to go senior in my view but mix in kenmare with them and you have a strong panel. They play together at underage so I dont see why they couldnt do it at adult getting back to the football, Kilgarvan have a few players who be good enough to play senior county championship in football as part of a district team, at least 4, have Tousist anyone ? If kenmare shamrocks go down, I think the district team should come back in.I d see a starting 15 of 10 kenmare shamrocks, 4 kilgarvan, 1 tousist

Not sure if anyone noticed but St Brendan's had lads whos clubs were listed as Kilmoyley and Ballyheigue at the weekend. Thought it was interesting to see.

Don't forget the regular classic - ' Insert name of TD as appropriate - claims Government/ Bord Pleanala/TII/ Tidy Towns Judges' are totally out of touch with rural Ireland'. Aisling O'Brien was a huge loss to the Radio Kerry news room and they seem to be trying to run sports on a part-time basis these days.
