Surely Tyrone would be a better bet if they're straight knock out? Armagh definitely the wrong county to be showcasing at this stage given most if the top players have been ehm enjoying themselves for a few weeks there and regardless it's only group games.

We're atill a few weeks away from the championship in Tyrone. Few league games left which will probably have a bit more bite than some of these round robin championship games.

Aidan Forker didn't feature for Maghery tonight. You wouldn't be surprised to see similar in the Cross game.

Forker on holidays I think. Rian only home, I'd say he'll get 10 or 15 minutes.

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.

Last year's county finalists in the reigning AI champions SFC is probably the thinking here. Agree though it's a nothing match, both teams will progress regardless so expect some shadow boxing

Bit tight from the final to expect great things in fairness.

Jarlath usually gets the Bridge on Tg4 most years lol

People complain about lack of  jeopardy in the all ireland do we get the same complaints about some club championships.

Davy's given us a dream to cling to

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

Watchable game, fair few sneaky digs going about, expect Cross to pull away in 2nd half with that wind behind them.

Gael85

Shane McPartland having an excellent game.

tonto1888

Cross a poor team. Clans fully deserved that

bennydorano

Mentioned it numerous times last year but Cross never seemed to gel as a team, it was alwsys talented individualism getting them through some sticky games. They didn't look at themselves today at all tho, they were more interested in getting digs in, fair bit of malice in it for a nothing group game. A good win for Clans and great for confidence, but not a lot to he read into it in the grand scheme. Clans need a keeper.
