Kerry's Championship hopes were dealt a significant blow after confirmation last night that All Star Kieran Donaghy has been ruled out for at least ten weeks. Reports in today's Irish Examiner suggest the Austin Stacks man will undergo an operation today on the stress fracture of the foot picked up in the National League final victory over Derry at Croke Park. He is definitely out of the Kingdom's Munster Championship opener against Cork on 7 June and the provincial decider on 5 July, should Kerry beat the Rebels. He is expected to be available should Kerry advance to the quarter-final stage in August, but this latest setback is perhaps the worst in a long list of casualties, with Killian Young (shoulder), Tommy Walsh (hamstring), Paul Galvin (groin), Tadhg Kennelly (hand), and Eoin Brosnan (hamstring) all on the treatment table.

They will be some force in the future but definitely not for a few years to come. Good match but don't think either side took much away from it.

mystic86 wrote: » Hi, Anyone very familiar with fitzgerald stadium on here? Picture attached....The O'Connor terrace is divided into 3 sections reg, green and blue. But can anyone tell me which section is in which part? I think the Red section is the section normally for cork supporters behind the goals at the dressing room end, is that right? And what about the other two sections, where do they start and end? Also, what about the numbers then, how do they work? Like Blue 6 etc...basically im trying to find out the best tickets to get the get close as possible to middle of field but also not to be right down near the fence at the bottom of the terrace. thanks.
