Desperate unfair on the two club players that aren't with mid Kerry and Brendan's to wait that long
Should the final have gone to penalties then? I'm inclined to say a week should have been made available for a replay before the County Championship...even if that meant no week off between semifinal and final.
The competition had 5 consecutive weekends (from 27 July to 25 Aug) to hold 3 group games, quarterfinal and semifinal. A week off between semifinal and final (1 Sept) and final on 8 Sept.
Would the finalists have preferred to have the final on 1 Sept, with replay if needed on 8 Sept...meaning six weekends in a row (seven when replay added)?
On the other hand, the eventual winner should be well primed for Munster Club v Cork or Limerick representatives two weeks after the replay on weekend of 24 Nov.
Trying to fit two championships into the same space that most other counties have just the one is Kerry's dilemma. How to get to quarterfinal stage in 2 games rather than 3 is the question...open draw with seedings based on county league standings (top 8 in bowl 1, bottom 8 in bowl 2) would get us to quarterfinal stage after one round. Maybe an intermediate shield for the first round losers should be considered in order to keep players active till county championship. Same setup for junior premier and junior I suppose.
Would there have been any wriggle room to put it on next Sunday and put back 1st round for Brendan's and mid Kerry. It might have meant the whole thing being held up a week but don't think anyone would complain.

I believe the County Championship has the first 3 rounds on consecutive weekends, namely 15, 22 and 29 Sept. There is a week off on 6 Oct, followed by quarterfinals on 13 Oct and semifinals on 20 Oct. Week off on 27 Oct and Final set for 3 Nov.
10 Nov sees Munster Senior Club start, with Kerry v Cork representatives at a Kerry venue. This could be awkward if two club sides get to the final and Dr. Crokes is not one of them (say any 2 from Dingle, Kenmare or Rathmore) as any postponement/delay to the County Championship would see Dr. Crokes sent forward as the Kerry representative.
You also have to remember that a team that wins in both Round 1 and Round 2 do not play in Round 3, as they would have a bye to the quarterfinal stage. Also, a team that loses both Round 1 and Round 2 are out of the competition.
If I had a vote, and I certainly do not, I'd be deferring all County Championship games a week and losing the open weekend of 6 Oct, thus allowing the intermediate replay be on this coming weekend, 15 Sept.
Postponing just the St. Brendan's and Mid Kerry games will create an imbalance down the line unless both win or lose their 2 initial Rounds, but that would be second choice.
Teams that lose their first round fixture will be very anxious to avoid the losers of Kenmare/Dr. Crokes and Rathmore/East Kerry in Round 2B.

Surely the game could be played mid week under lights in ASP. Seem unbelievable that lads will wait 2 months for a replay.
