Club Championships 2025/2026

They have just 1 score with 47 minutes played.

They increased it to 10 last year. But its still low when there is over 60 clubs in total. The fact they have many divisional teams means less senior teams.

It’s great listening to that natural Irish. I will end up getting a Kerry accent if I am not careful.

Wonder what it feels like to lose a game in that manner. To lose without ever really having a go.

I didnt think Gaeltacht played particularly well and they had some really awful efforts at scores, but they were allowed have so much of the ball, they would have found it hard not to win the game. In fairness they defended well when they had to.

Gave up on the 2nd game after 10 minutes, like being in a time warp going back to watch that awful muck of yester year. Only thing missing was one of the An Ghaeltacht boys to do keepy uppies to draw Derry lads out!!

Youd wonder what the players will be feeling this week, a chance of a lifetime and their managemnt team had them playing in straitjackets. I'd imagine a few rows up there this week. Even in the last 10 minutes they were happy to tap over a pont rather than tryand create a goal chance, bizarre stuff

There is 16 teams in the Kerry County championship, including 7 divisional teams and 9 in the separate club championship. If a divisional team wins the County, the Club champions represent the County in Munster.

Given there are two competitions, it's probably quite difficult to have anymore teams and still finish the competitions on time. I doubt it's a case of deliberately keeping the numbers small at Senior to win more Intermediates/Juniors.

If anyone has 1 spare ticket for Sunday they won't use, I would be grateful if you pm me it.

Why doesn't every county just do senior, intermidiate junior like it used to be? This senior b, intermidiate A, is a load of boll**. Not to mind totally confusing.

Takes two to tango in a poor watch of a match as yesterday's Intermediate final was.

Still surprised a Kerry team played that way which was a big focus on stopping Glenullin scoring than playing the Kerry way of attacking football and lots of kick passing. Glenullin had scored 30 goals in 10 games coming into the final so how do we stop that? By not letting them have the ball.

That sustained hand passing game isn't easy to counter react, your own Roscommon playing a similar way drew and could easily have beaten a Dublin in Croke Park three years ago. Roscommon after that draw against the odds got a lot of criticism in national media for those tactics yet was mainly ignored that Dublin like Glenullin yesterday weren't engaging.

Unless more tweaks are brought in more county and club teams will use the Gaeltacht tactics from yesterday.

Dublins system is Senior 1, Senior 2 - intermediate. I think it is very easy to understand. Plus the Dublin championship has gone from strength to strength since they got rid of the open draw. Bringing in a league system for each level prior to the knockouts. Used to be some very lobsided games before the restructuring.

I suppose each county has to do best for its county depending on the strength of clubs, number of clubs etc. The system that works in one county might not work in another.

Kerry’s system the most confusing system of all seems to be working for them.

Wonder would a timer clock like in basketball work? Force teams to take a shot. Or would it make it even worse? Teams keeping the ball until the timer nearly up - just under a minute.

They tried limiting hand passes already didn’t they? But the players hated it. And the refs found it very difficult to police. So it was quickly scrapped.

I think it is more that poor quality players are more likely going to produce a poor quality game. Irregardless of what rules you have.
