Not from Kerry but was watching the U20 this year.Wiliam Shine was impressive, is he not making East Kerry Team.
He was on the bench but got no game time in any game. He was excellent with the u20s but had a poor enough intermediate campaign with Legion. He’s one of these players when he’s playing well he’s brilliant like with the u20s and with the Sem but when he’s not playing well he’ll give the ball away a lot and kick a lot of wides. Hopefully he’ll kick on again because he has loads of ability and we’ve a shortage of real quality inside forwards.
Parnells unlucky at the weekend in Munster. Crotta play at the weekend against Ferrybank from Waterford. Crotta favorites with th bookies and 28/1 to win the All-Ireland.
New jersey is fairly decent.
Happy for David. Well deserved again.
Obviously players tend to retire earlier in the modern era, but given he's capable of continuing for another decade, no reason he couldn't equal Jack O'Shea's record if he stays fit and reaches finals every few years.
I was surprised he got it I think he was a bit surprised himself.
He even looked surprised at getting the All Star 😅
Think he would swap it for an all Ireland winner's medal.
These awards are pointless
It’s not like he didn’t have the opportunity…
Yeah definitely. Hopefully a few more ahead for him.
It's funny in Kerry we remember more the ones we lost than the ones we won, football is in a bad place right and has spread in to the club games was talking to a cousin from Mayo he was at some club game up there and they left at half time couldn't stomach any more of it. Pure muck turned off it completely myself, we live in hope for some kind of a saviour to come and rescue it.
I'm pretty sure it's not pointless for the players who win them 🙄
Great thing about todays result is the Cliffords will get a break. Also fantastic that we finally have another top class prospect coming through in Cillian Burke.
Downside is that it makes an already uncompetitive county championship even worse without it being tweaked.
Mid Kerry were closest to East Kerry and without the MC lads now, their goose is cooked.
Unless something changes then EK will sleepwalk to another one next year.
I'm from an EK club and while it's nice to see them win, I'd prefer it to be competitive. What needs to change? I dunno. Hopefully they can come up with something sensible.
I thought Jack O'Connor was from.Dromid Pearses?
He is
Is there a suggestion here that he's not?
Because his sons are playing with Miltown. Pretty easy to see why someone might be confused.
I think it's his son singular. His son was abroad and is working near where he plays at present
I think a second son also plays with Milltown Castlemaine, Shane maybe, I think he was a sub Sunday.
Anyway yeah the reason Eanna O'Connor plays with Milltown Castlemaine is because he's living there now.
To confuse things even more he played inter county for Kildare a few years ago.
Jack played for Dromid and owned a pub there. He sold off the pub sometime around when he stopped playing club football and moved to the Glen which is in between Portmagee and Ballinskelligs. Both his kids were young so ended up playing with St Michaels/Foilmore. Im nearly sure Cian won an all Ireland intermediate with St Michaels/Foilmore, Both Eanna and Cian were later working up in Kildare so both moved to and played with Moorefield.
Then they both relocated back home and went back to St Michaels/Foilmore 3 or 4 years ago, relocated once again and now both line out for Milltown.
A lot of travelling and moving so its hard to keep track
Thanks i knew one went to Kildare ,wasnt totally sure on the club front.
Cian he came on as a sub near the end.
He was full forward when they won that All-Ireland. I think he may have been Man of the Match. I think he was on the Kerry minor panel at one point.
Strange that he got such little game time considering he was on the Kildare panel for a while. I know he’s had injury problems but he was coming on in the quarter and semi pre county championship so he’s been injury free for a few months.
Also did Jack have a falling out with Dromid because surely he’d have brought his children down to his own club when it’s not too far away?
It was only Eanna who played with Kildare. He'd be in his mid 30s now i'd say so might not have the legs anymore for a full game.
more clubs than Tiger Woods...
i lived 200 miles away from my club for nearly 10 yrs and it never even entered my head to transfer... i have to say the whole thing with Jacks sons is odd... they played with michaels/foilmore... fine.. both got teaching jobs in kildare... both transferred to moorefield... ok tis a bit of a spin to portmagee from kildare so fair enough... both are now back in kerry... and both of them are now playing with Milltown/castlemaine... even tho their home club is only 40mins away for training... whole thing is bizarre tbh
Ah to be fair the Glen to Dromid is a bit of a trek and they were going to school out that direction so it made sense for them to play club football with Bally/Foilmore. They would ever have played with Dromid at any age level.
Jack was actually manager of BallyFoilmore when they beat Dromid in the sk final a few years back, Eanna got motm that day as I recall
On the subject of them moving up to Milltown, id suspect there was some form of a fallout there when they left BallyF. Im nearly sure Mark Griffin left around the same time
Everyones different I guess, I never moved away from my club either despite moving away for a spell. Some fellas transfer at the drop of a hat, others would travel from anywhere to play.
A few people from Foilmore told me they weren't over worried about them leaving . Take what you want from that.
On the county championship structures, a review committee will examine the four proposed motions and report back by March - so unlikely any change will be implemented before 2025:
