Best of luck to the nire today, shouldve beaten stacks couple of years ago, would be great if they could manage it today

[Horse Box]

Hopefully Carberry  will give Crokes a decent munster final. Will need a tough game when facing Corofin/Castlebar

Still laughing at this      . . .

[twohands!!!]

Nire struggling to make any impression.

[Zulu]

Impressive from Crokes so far and like the Connacht final it looks like one team is far superior to their opponents. Not sure about that penalty though.

[From the Bunker]

Embarrassing stuff! 

[twohands!!!]

Corofin v Crokes in the semi should be a good game at least.

[Cunny Funt]

More of a blow out game than the Connacht final.

[From the Bunker]

I see Kenmare Shamrocks are hockeying all before and after them only adds to the Joke that Kerry can enter the team just below their Top eight into the Intermediate Championship. The Bookies already have them at 4/11 to win the AI title. Kerry's abuse of the system has to be one of the greatest jokes in Club football!

Westport will give them bags of it.

I've had lengthy discussions on other threads regarding this. I think the Kerry Championship system is completely corrupt.

Such rubbish!

Every county board is entitled to set up their own championships in whatever format they like.

If a county thinks that by putting less clubs in the senior club championship that they will win more intermediate and junior club all irelands then there is nothing to stop them from doing it!

In addition, the kerry county championship has had divisional sides in it long before the all ireland club series for intermediate and junior teams was introduced. It's not as if Kerry saw the inter and junior all ireland championships introduced and thought how can we restructure our championships to win more of these!

I completely agree that the Kerry system improves that standard of players in kerry because EVERY player in the county gets an opportunity to play senior club championship.
BUT, I believe MORE counties should adopt this format!
Shouldn't the objective in every club/county be to get players playing at as high a level as possible to improve the standard as much as possible?
