    How so? They have already beaten Rahillys and Templenoe. Kenmare will be a big test for them.

    They kind of fell over the line in both games and I'm not sure how great either of them are. Basically Crokes are totally beatable now where before they were in the habit of steamrolling most teams.

    As if to prove your point, Kenmare beat them by a point this evening to qualify for the club final, and that even after having a penalty saved by Shane Ryan with two minutes remaining.

    I agree they have gone backwards but so have most of the other club sides & crokes are still the best club side

    KOR have gone backwards and are way too reliant on Moran & Savage - especially now that Tommy is injured.
    KOR should have beaten Kenmare & were very close against Crokes and this is, imo, a very weak KOR team

    Stacks havent kicked on at all after all their strong underage teams while Kenmare & Templenoe are only ok really.

    I know Kenmare just beat Crokes but I still think Crokes are better overall.

    No club team will beat East Kerry this year

    Or even saved by Shane Murphy.

    Correct on all counts for me.

    Massive result from Kenmare last night, came from 6 down also. 2 down in last few mins. Helps when you have Seanie Shea in your team I guess!

    I would agree on sentiment above re: Crokes.

    With the likes of Tony Brosnan up front they will cause problems for anyone BUT some of the same names on the team sheet wouldn’t exactly strike fear into opposing teams for a while now. Some glaring weaknesses there and they haven’t had the sort of revamp I expected.

    With the 2 lads from Valentia on board (a fairly sickening transfer it must be said) I expected Stacks to be a force this year but they were shocking against Kilcummin apparently and got out of jail.

    Dingle look strong on paper, forward line could do wreck given the right ball. Conor Geaney is one to watch.

    Barring any disruption though are any of those getting near East Kerry though - probably not.

    That’s 3 games that kenmare have won whereby they have been behind goin into injury time- some balls in fairness. Sign of great character.

    On the stacks transfers- I agree it was fairly sickening & what makes it worse is that stacks easily have the biggest pick of all the Tralee sides & have been very strong at underage level for a few years now.

    They should be developing players like Michael o gara into a good midfielder rather than helping close down valentia gaa club

    Outside of O Shea, who from Kenmare is standing out? Surely Paul O Connor cannot be considered for inter county again?

    Are the two Valentia lads living in Tralee? In fairness it's a long trek down to Valentia if they are.

    Valentina v Cordal off today due to Valentia unable to field. Was always going to happen. I was surprised they put a team in at all but i suppose they wanted to try and keep the club going. Not sure if that just means they'll pull out or not now.

    Word is they are going to amalgamate with Skellig Rangers from next year

    A grand idea which makes sense to keep lads playing ball and the club somewhat alive

    Legion, Brendan's, South Kerry and East Kerry all win fairly comfortably in the minor QFs, with the last-named still firm favourites to retain their title.

    That story has been doing the rounds for 5 or 6 years at this stage. Valentia always seem to find a way, Portmagee have probably the biggest squad in South Kerry (according to the match programmes lately anyway)

    They just gave a walkover in the Junior Championship, so they are struggling more than ever to find a way.

    There is only 200/match so about 100/ club including players and coaches. I say all tickets are distributed through clubs.

    My club has been doing a members only draw. Anyone interested puts their name in. Seems fair enough way of doing it.

    Cant see them being on general sale, would be rotten form if they were tbf.

    Our own club allows players on the match day panel to buy a ticket for a family member, rest are drawn

    Quinlinan has made Stacks masters of off the ball handbags & late hits.

    I said it on here a couple of years ago and it still stands - constant off the ball & cheap shots from them

    Fitzgerald must have said something fairly low. Some anger in Donaghys eyes there in that incident. You wouldn’t react to a former teammate like that for no reason

    Crokes can be quite bad - Payne especially but Stacks take the biscuit.
