had the pleasure of attending the armagh county final today and cross are some team but armagh harps if thats the best of the rest my god. cross won at a canter but im sure the boys in the jeans could have given them a better game than a woeful harps mckenna and the goalie apart. cross will walk ulster despit their lack of armagh competition a fullback line and a mobile midfield.

Having watched the Limerick, Cork and Clare county hurling finals in the last few weeks, looks like the standard in Limerick is above the rest

St Galls beat Cargin in the Antrim senior football final and I believe they have real intent on going for Ulster and All Ireland success this year. They are very good footballers and probably the only team in Ulster who could give Crossmaglen a game.

Good stuff Ulsterman I love seeing Antrim teams do well, just wish the senior inter county teams would make the breakthrough aswell.

Low enough crowd for the Limerick hurling final: 2,910

Kilmallock beat Limerick and Munster champions Na Piarsaigh.

Dr Crokes won the Senior Club final yesterday. If Mid Kerry beat Austin Stacks in next weekend's County final, Dr Crokes will be in the Munster Championship!

You'd be better off picking a name out of a hat or something ;-)

How is it ridiculous? As long as Divisional teams are not allowed represent counties in provincial championships then some other way of picking a representative club has to be found.
All senior clubs in Kerry enter the club championship and it gives that competition added meaning if the winners have a chance of going on to Munster cship.

The only other option would be to put through the last club team standing in the county cship - Austin Stacks this year- but that would get messy if say 2 club teams lost to divisional teams at the semifinal stage and you would need a playoff.

Spot on Westfester. Some get it. Some don't.

When you look at the situation in other counties like Armagh, Galway and Roscommon, with one club dominating and terribly one sided finals, maybe more counties should consider having divisional teams. I think the competitive club scene is a major reason for Kerrys intercounty success.

Are there 2 championships in Kerry?

Playing for a small junior club should not prevent a talented footballer from playing in their county's premier championship. I think it's a positive. It's a positive then that the senior clubs have their own championship as well. Both have run smoothly and on time.

Yes could someone please explain the structure of the Kerry Championships. Is there Two different championships?

Great result for Clontibret in Ulster yesterday beating a fancied kilcoo team who were hell bent on trying to give a bit of black and blue colouring to Conor McManus' body. Played from the 14 minute with 14 players and 2 points down in injury time and up pops the best half back in Ireland this year (Dessie Mone) to palm to the net to secure victory. McManus finished with 8 points out 1-9 all from frees but that was down to pure panic in the kilcoo defence everytime he got the ball. Conor finished the game with blood caked on his face but what a credit he is to be battered black and blue and not react once.

Dr Crokes have been knocked out months ago in there senior championship but can still somehow represent kerry in the Munster club championship even doh there not champs in there own county.

There's the County Championship with the senior clubs and divisional clubs. There's also the Senior Club Championship with the clubs only. Dr Crokes won the Senior Club Championship yesterday. Austin Stacks and Mid Kerry will compete in the County Championship final next Sunday.
