Crokes will have a say but may have their eyes on other competitions. Spa definitely won't have a say. |

Crokes will have a say but may have their eyes on other competitions. Spa definitely won't have a say. I'd agree thay Spa almost definitely won't win it but you'd probably be looking at Rathmore, Legion, Spa & Crokes in last 4. And depending on the draw I wouldn't be surprised if Spa got a win against either Rathmore or Legion in a Semi. That's what I was getting at, as for winning it. Hard to look past Crokes even if they have a Munster Championship to concentrate on, they'll have a strong enough panel to still be unbackable favourites for this competition in my book. |

Rathmore won't want to finish the season empty handed, neither will Glenflesk. Spa have lost players to travel I believe. It could be quite competitive this year.

Rathmore v Kenmare should be close . Could go either way.
Legion , Glenflesk , Gneeveguilla to win the other games.
A lot depends on if Crokes beat Dingle . If they win and are involved in the club championship they won’t put out a full strength team.
If they lose I think they’ll go out to win it .
I don’t expect Spa to be there . I think the winner comes from Rathmore Kenmare Crokes with Legion also having a chance.

I'd be very surprised if they turned over rathmore. I don't fancy legion and I think crokes will only win this competition this year if they lose to dingle, hence why I say rathmore favorites for me |

No Seanie O'Shea or Paul Murphy on Kenmare or Rathmore teams this evening. Shane Ryan does line out for Rathmore. Interesting to see which Kerry players choose to or choose not to line out for their clubs in district championships over the next few weekends.

O Donoghue Cup 1st Round:
Fossa 2-08 Legion 1-19
Cliffords not togged out for Fossa, as expected. Tight enough first half, went in 0-08 to 0-06 at half time in favour of Legion.
Legion started the 2nd half brightly and a great solo goal from Darragh Lyne (my motm on the day) put them in the driving seat. Fossa scored a goal immediately themselves from a free that dropped short that Brian Kelly will be disappointed with in the Legion goal. Fossa got the game back to 2 points but Legion kicked on with James O Donoghue and Darragh Lyne especially helping them extend their lead. Fossa added a 2nd goal before the end but Legion deserving winners on the day.

Interesting to see which Kerry players choose to or choose not to line out for their clubs in district championships over the next few weekends. Not in favour of Inter county players not playing with club. Club should always come first. I understand the break but surely they can give 3 or 4 games to their clubs they’ll be playing in-house games with Kerry training anyway. Fair play to Shane Ryan |

I’m with you on that kerrylad38.
At the heart of every club is the idea that everybody is in it together – that’s why they are called clubs. And no player wants to be perceived in the local community as the reason why a club/team failed. I understand also that any criticism of certain players on this forum is blasphemous to some people’s ears.

I understand also that any criticism of certain players on this forum is blasphemous to some people’s ears. Nearly all Kerry players have played bar Clifford's, seanie se. Paul Murphy will be back the next day for rathmore. Crokes will rest all there first team players because of big game weekend after next. So much talk about only one or two players. Fossa were never going to be winning o donoghue cup anyway |

While I am not a member of either Fossa or Kenmare Clubs, I was at the Fossa Game. The game was close enough at halftime. The expectation was that the two county players would come on at some stage in the second half and could give Fossa a good chance of winning the game. One was actually stripped and on the bench with the subs. What were supporters to make of that? I can tell you that they were not well pleased and were not shy about expressing their frustration.
Regarding your final sentence “Fossa were never going to be winning o donoghue cup anyway” - are you suggesting this should be the criteria for players making themselves available for games or not?

It's up to the players whether they play or not. The county board had there say but up to each player individually.i didn't realise that one of the Clifford's togged off, they could have thrown him on so. No one could have stopped them.

Don't really get the criticism of county lads not playing in the regional competitions myself and find some of the criticism a bit mad tbh.
These lads get flogged all year (I understand by the county) and if they chose not to play championship either club or county I'd understand the criticism but regional competitions in October/November I can't understand

Final 2 O'Donoghue cup quarter finals:
Legion 1-14 Glenflesk 2-16
Spa 1-10 Kilcummin 1-14
2 surprises in a sense that both favourites had home advantage and both were beaten. Spa down a few bodies but Legion beaten with a largely full pick by a Glenflesk team who looked to have some good promising young players.
Legion up 6 points 5 minutes into 2nd half, but conceded 2-02 in the following 3 minutes and ended up losing by 5. Completely deserved win by Glenflesk.
Semi-Final Fixtures:
Saturday November 16th in Fitzgerald Stadium @ 2pm
Dr.Crokes v Kilcummin
Sunday November 17th in Fitzgerald Stadium @ 2pm
Glenflesk vs Rathmore

What’s Luke Crowley’s story with Glenflesk? He hasn’t lined out for them in any Senior game this year to my knowledge and wasn’t even listed as a sub in the programme today.

Heard he lined out in a friendly for Kerry a few weeks ago in a reserve type Kerry team, not sure about how true it is though. I wouldn't be happy if I was glenflesk anyway, maybe he's injured. Mightn't be training at all with them though as no sign of him on the bench either |

Result: Kilcummin 0-10 Dr. Crokes 1-6 in the first semifinal. Massive for Kilcummin, I would have expected Crokes to still be favourites despite having a largely 2nd string team out. They still had some quality on the pitch. Delighted for Kilcummin, only their 2nd O'Donoghue cup final since 2008 and they haven't won the competition in over 50 years. |
