Easy wins for the KerrySenior BIntermediate Champions (the county's second level) in the Munster Intermediate Championship and Kerryintermediate BJunior Premier Champions (the county's third level) in the Munster Junior Championship.
Fossa put the game to bed as a contest by half-time, leading 1-11 to a single point.
In the Rathmore Kanturk game the home-county side scored only once more before the break and trailed 1-10 to 0-2 at the turnaround.

I think Kerry is the most interesting one
In the early years of the GAA the dominant team in kerry was Tralee John Mitchel's, the only team in Tralee. In 1927 the team was broken into 3 for competition purposes- Mitchels, Austin Stacks and Kerins O'Rahillys. Kerry also has teams amalgamated from a few parishes, called Divisional teams, which also boost competitiveness. What you end up with is a fair spread of competitiveness across the county. And that is what you need to win all Irelands.
The top 7 teams have between 9 and 13 titles.
Very different to the Cross model. If Cross are weak Armagh probably won't come up with a replacement.

Well folks, I'm delighted to provide an update that was a long time coming - recent test show no sign of any suspicious activity and the medics now consider me to be a member of the public presenting for screening tests only and not as a cancer patient.
Had CT and colonoscopy in the last 10 days and all biopsies negative and healing is continuing nicely.
CT and colonoscopy frequency moves to annually now until summer 2025 (so three more), subject to each one's findings.
No restrictions on diet, just trial and error on what effects me - I'd say the tougher to digest items like steak, lamb, brisket, and raw vegetables will be off my menu for a while, but all cooked veggies and salad leaves are back on (small amounts to start). Won't have a spicy Chinese for a while either. Still can't process wine for some reason and a pint of cider is barely manageable - not necessarily a bad thing.
Delighted with everything.
It's been a long battle since initial diagnosis in October/November 2019, but the amazing support I've felt has got me through it step by step.
This board has been huge for me - a great place to write down my treatment plans and to soak up the support from complete strangers. You will never know how much of a difference the posters here made, especially when I kinda struggled to meet my commitments to posting on a regular basis.
I can say now that I see no need in providing any more updates, so I'll end up with the scoreline:
Ball Hopper 1, Cancer didn't.

Good man....BH
Your story, in part,, inspired me to have my first colonoscopy just a week ago.

Deborah James, or bowel babe as she was known through her podcast died yesterday, for me this strikes a chord due to my own father dying of bowel cancer and my sister a bowel cancer survivor...
Some cancer's are easily treated if caught early, I say easily treated but that's from my perspective of doing the hospital runs not actually taking the treatment, my sister had the signs but didn't act until the week of my dads funeral, the tumor was large and aggressive, but luckily for her was contained in the bowel and had breached the walls, one more week or two and I'd be posting a different post..
The treatment of chemo is horrible for most, but until something else is found its the only way to get most cancers, that and radiotherapy, the amount of times my sister told me to f**k off when I said you've only a few more to do you can do this was plenty, we laugh now but it was a horrible time for her and others going through it.
Check your pooh, if your are noticing something different about your body, get it checked out, prolonged niggles or coughs, few friends recently caught throat cancer, non smokers and fit guys late 40's..thankfully for them and their families they have come out the other end after doing something about it.. one of them is doing marathons now!!
Deborah James took some much time to reply to people who messaged her on social media, my sister even got a reply to her last year and listening to 5 live on the way in was a tough listen as she was a regular on that show in the evenings
