That's a fair point.

But the key thing is every game is played on it's own merits. One game at a time. There is no such thing as picking up form i.e. winning one game by 2pts, then the next game by 5pts etc. 

Just get over the line. Every game is different and there's no comparsion between the game that went before.

Look at Galway and Mayo - just win each game. Who cares how and by how much? Then move on to the next game.

Didn't Mayo lose to Cork recently? Couldn't move on when Derry dumped them out of the championship last year before the All-Ireland quarter finals.

They win 1 game, move on to the next - treat it as a single game.

If they win, they move on, if not, they're out etc.

Has to be winners and losers.

What I'm saying is treat each game on it's own merits. If a team beats Leitrim by 1 pt, then the s"&t hits the fan and it's constant criticism until the next game. Beat Leitrim by 25 pts and it's...sure it's only Leitrim. You can't win either way. Haters will hate.

I'm sure Kerry will be delighted they're into Munster Final. A tight match will bring them on. In a week's time, I'm sure Jack O'Connor will be secretly delighted. Lots of learnings from that game last night for them.

Beat Clare by 1pt and they're Munster Champions again.

It's a sad day when Kerry players are faking injury like soccer players.

See highlights there, what's Joe O'connor going down holding his head there for? Gaelic going the same way as soccer.

Just watched it there. Pathetic bit of rolling about.

Marty Morrisey was terrible on commentary in that Kerry game
Didn't name the goalscorer for O'Connor's cracker despite about 3 replays

Half time in the Munster U20 final Cork 0-3 Kerry 1-8. Awful mess in how Cork gave away the goal a few minutes before the break. Game live on TG4.

Cork look a poor team - by all accounts Tipp were robbed not to get into the final ahead of them
- an amount of skill and handling errors but the goal was the worst - an absolute gift to Kerry.
Kerry looking good in patches but a bit wasteful. Only looks like one winner here.

Kerry 2-15 to 1-10 winners. Cork poor compared to their 2022 Munster U17 winning team and I'm not sure how many of that team played tonight. How good Kerry are will been seen against Tyrone or Donegal next.

Kerry will walk this u20 championship. Two former inter county as selectors with O'Se.

Kerry should should just receive a bye into All Ireland series. No competition. The second and third best teams in Munster are kerry b and c teams. Cricket score today.

Opening 8 minutes couldn't have gone much better for Kerry and much worse for Clare.  Kerry 2-3 Clare 0-1

Is that square ball or does his heel being on the line mean he's outside?

A few points back for Clare now undone with a black card. Sean O'Shea knocks over the two pointer free after 17 mins 2-7 to 0-4.

3rd Kerry goal and the crossbar saved Clare from a 4th goal.  25 mins  3-7 to 0-5.  A 4th goal for Kerry,  Clare with consolation goal from a penalty? no blazed over the bar.  4-7 to 0-6.

Half time Kerry 4-10 Clare 0-7.
