Fair play Ball Hopper.

Fwiw I would predict that Castlehaven come through Cork and win Munster Senior again, although 2 of the Cahalane's are serious doubts for their semi final Sunday I believe.

I think the winner of Austin Stacks v Laune Rangers replay in Kerry has a good shot at winning Munster Inter. The winner of Kilshannig v Iveleary should win Cork and will be a decent test for whoever comes through.

Ardfert or Firies will be favourites to win Junior but Canovee or Buttevant both have some quality players and would put it up to them.

Cork having winners of Tier 1, 3 and 5 really doesn't help the competitiveness of the lower grades.

Crokes v Castlehaven in Killarney in 2 weeks will be a good game now. Winner of that should win Munster and have a crack off the All Ireland.
There were some excellent games in Cork and Kerry at the weekend. The Cork Premier Intermediate final was an outstanding fast game between Kilshannig and Aghabullogue which ended in a draw. The winners of the replay will give the winners of the Kerry replay a good game.
The Kerry Premier Junior final wasn't as high quality but had an epic comeback by Firies to rescue a draw in normal time and then win it well in extra time.
Kilmurry will contest Munster with Firies now having overcome Canovee (a club in the same parish!) in the Cork Premier Junior Final.
They've been in Munster Junior club 3 years in a row bizarrely due to the circumstances. 2 years ago they won the Cork Junior A football - lost the Munster final to Fossa.
Last season they lost the final of the new Premier Junior final to St Finbarrs second team, but as second teams can't contest Munster Kilmurry went through and again lost the Munster final to Listowel. So this season they have a third tilt but will be up to Intermediate A in Cork.

Elsewhere Éire Óg had a comfortable win in the Clare final over Kilmurry-Ibrickane and I think they have a good chance of reaching the Munster final. Loughmore-Castleliney, having won the double in Tipp, will find it tough to keep winning you'd imagine. Adare or Fr Caseys from Abbeyfeale are in the Limerick final. Fr Caseys pitch is in Kerry interestingly.

I must say it's refreshing to see a humble Division 3 team come out of Kerry JFC this year! And a Division 2 team no less (albeit the mighty Stacks) in the Intermediate! Some of the Ulster counties could learn a thing or two.

Yeah great to see it.

Just shows how little league football means when Division 1 Ballymacelliot (Finished top 4 last year) haven't been able to win it the last couple of years.

Ah it just gives the Ulster chip on the shoulder lads something to keep them happily moaning about in mid Winter.

We'll just have to content ourselves with near enough every football title on offer being in Ulster for the winter

Aye maybe next year the Ulster teams could set out to win every competition available

I was just thinking that 

[Ciarrai_thuaidh]

4 out of last 5 winners of Kerry Junior have been division 3 teams. But of course League has nothing to do with Championship as any sensible person knows.
