If you can get him fit and healthy James is miles ahead of everyone bar Clifford and Geaney.

The likes of Tomás Ó Sé, Killian Spillane, Conor Geaney etc are unlikely to ever be as good as him. With Paul Geaney struggling the last couple of seasons (is that something we're ready to mention yet by the way?) I think the idea of cutting loose someone like JOD is a bit cavalier. You only need to have him right for one or two games a year.

Who knows what impact training under new coaches will have on guys also. If we are dispensing with anyone who looked off the pace in some games last year we'll have to all bring our boots along tomorrow.

Travelled to Belfast during the week and played Sigerson with I.T Tralee, so wise call to not start him. Gavin Crowley picked up a bad enough injury in that game and is out for a while too. James O'Donoghue also picked up another injury in training and may be gone for a few weeks. Some amount of injuries for him last 3 years. :rolleyes:

Looks like another tight, dogged affair Sunday I would think. 2 wins from 2 would be a great start to lead into the Dublin game which should be feisty.

Just my view but is it time the management cut theirs losses with him? Since 2014 have he even played 20 games between legue and championship? He's missed at least 2 full league campaigns i think and last year just didn't seem up to pace in some games. I know he's had injuries etc but he's not the only player to have had and i think their could be better options

This year muct have been a record for Kerry players playing Fitzgibbon. Shane Conway with UCC, Jordon Conway with LIT, Jack Goluding is with UL, Brandon Barrett was playing with WIT. and Billy Lyons from Causeway on CIT panel.

Shane Conway is the best hurler I have seen down here, I thought Shane Brick was class but Conway is ahead of Brick, I just think Conway's skill level is ahead of Brick's at his prime

Hopefully he is on form again tomorrow against Westmeath

His own teammate in UCC Shane Kingston (Cork Senior), said Conway is one of the most gifted hurlers he has ever played with

I'm from Cork and living in Kerry. Whenever hurling comes into conversation with my Cork friends his name comes up. I know a few lads followed the Kerry senior club championship just to see how he was getting on.

Conway is getting quite the name for himself. A lovely hurler. He'd walk on to the teams of the big hurling counties.

Aside from giving Dara Moynihan a rest, essentially the same team for Breffni Park:

Was impressed with the defending on Sunday,we were patient when Tyrone had the ball and then when Tyrone did make a mistake the lads were quick to get on it turnover possession and get forward

I though we should have won by more,Stephen O Brien should have finished that chance in the first half and Tom O Sullivan picked the wrong option a few times in the second half but good start 2 points on board

Cavan will be tough next Sunday

shown but not mentioned in the analysis. not much about the game was mentioned really with brolly taking off and Cantwell trying to reign him in.

Watch Sean O'Shea's sideline to go 3 points up.

Maurice Fitz-esque. Unreal.

Same As

Today was the kind of match I've grown used to us losing. Well done to the lads, nice start to the campaign.

a good start, fair play to the young lads no real panic at all in um. 2 pts on the board takes a bit of pressure off them.

No, will have to wait for League Sunday tonight. Both sides appear to have adopted the Ulster style, going by the first quarter hour.

Not on TG4 anyway, its Dublin v Monaghan. With some deferred coverage of a hurling match.

I dont have BT or Eir etc so dont know if they're showing it. Doubtful

Good win for the hurlers. One of the toughest games they'll have.

I'm another note re coverage. No coverage on counrty boards social media sites apart from re twittering the Antrim account. Begging the question, had they not been able to do that would they have had any?

I think the biggest pity is the the rest of the country wont see how good Shane Conway is.

Be no highlights or anything of the games in Division 2 and the Joe Mcdonagh Cup

Could well prove a critical win, even if Kerry were clinging on by the end!

Tightening up now, midway through the second half:
