Mark Doran who's curently with Slaughtneil. What will the Glen boys think?

Doran was a coach with Clare around 2023.

Well done to Pearses. Crazy Brigids bringing Bobby Nugent when he clearly looked injured coming back onto pitch.

Pearses gone into panic mode.

Are Meath people happy with Brennan, Corey and McMahon?

Is Brennan a Meath man or Dublin. Sounds like a Dub but have it in my head that he's Rathoath or Dunboyne or somewhere like that?

Brennan is from Dublin but has lived in Dunboyne for last 20 plus years. He played with Dunboyne after transferring from Crokes.

Mark Fitzgerald resigned as Clare manager to take a role with kerry u20s.

Dingle v Dr Crokes in Kerry Senior club final Sunday, live on TG4 also. Should be a decent game.

Castlehaven are moving very well in Cork and will probably win the county there and be favourites to win Munster. Former Brigids manager Jerome Stack is coaching them. A rematch with Dingle in better conditions would be a great battle.

Castlehaven won't get near Dr Crokes. Eire Og Ennis should win the Clare championship easily. Have a strong panel but can never beat kerry/Cork opposition.

Kevin Maguire Westmeath retired.

Liverpool 1-0 already. That game over.

Who will tg4 show this weekend could they show Crossmaglen again how many games tg4 allowed to show per week they should show friday games too.

TG4 showing Clonlara and Eire Og in Clare senior hurling championship this Sunday.

[Kerry's "club" championship is at the semi final stage in Senior but hard to know if that's worth watching when the county one featuring East Kerry has not started yet.]

Would be unprecedented to go intermediate but Kerry intermediate is at knockout this weekend.
Fossa lost the final last year by a point in their first year up from junior, I would say Fossa v 2022 Munster Champions Kerin's O'Rahillys is arguably one of the games of the weekend in terms of importance anyway. It's a quarter final after all.

Kerry's "club" championship is at the semi final stage in Senior but hard to know if that's worth watching when the county one featuring East Kerry has not started yet.

Other than that it's group stages all around - think Waterford hurling also at knockout but it's a formality so why give it air time.

It seems Clubber is where Kerry club games will be carried this year.

If East Kerry win the County Championship, the Senior Club winners go forward to Munster...and with East Kerry as strong as they are, the senior clubs see the path to representing the county.  Dingle (beaten by Castlehaven on penalties in Munster Final last year) host Kenmare in one semi-final, while Rathmore (All-Ireland intermediate champions in 2023) will have Killarney's Dr. Crokes visiting their patch on Sunday.

East Kerry's Rd 1 opponent in the County Championship is Rathmore on the weekend of 15 September, by the way.  They might be caught cold, although there is a back-door this year.  Rd 2A will be the following weekend where the 8 winners of Rd 1 will play against each other for a quarter-final spot, while the 8 losers will be drawn in Rd 2B and the losers of that will be done.  Losers of 2A will then play winners of 2B for the other 4 quarter-final places. 

Three weekends in a row to get to quarter-final stage (15, 22, 29 Sept), a week off (6 Oct), the quarters and semis in consecutive weekends (13 and 20 Oct), then a week off before the final on 3 Nov.  That's the plan anyway.

What Distract will the Kerin O'Rahilly and Austin Stacks lads play with?

2022 Munster JFC Champions Fossa knock out 2022 Munster SFC Champions Kerins O'Rahillys in the 2024 Kerry IFC 1/4 Finals.

And? Much like Cavan, the Kerry set up allows for senior standard clubs in their lower grades.

Austin Stacks lost Munster final in 2021 also in intermediate championship. They should win AI inter championship easily enough now.

Shane McPartland having an excellent game.

No real standout MOTM for me

McKay, Grimley, Crealey, Conaty, Conroy, Galway no 11 All had  their moments

Conaty might get it.

McCambridge must be favourite.
