Club Championships 2025

[From the Bunker]

Anyone hear anything with the Hollymount Carramore game yet? Surely they can put in an appeal against that decision. My question would be where is the line drawn?

Would imagine they've grounds for appeal, wasn't there similar in Fermanagh a few weeks ago?

I would imagine that what ever was decided on the day was decided on the day. Mistakes are made all the time in real time in matches. Balls called out that are not and vice versa, Square balls incorrectly called, over-carrying. If you went on Video evidence for a borderline decision - jez, every decision would have to be scrutinised.

Nothing more to see here....

But it wasn't close to borderline at all. It was worse than the Fermanagh decisions. He shot the ball from the original D. https://x.com/cormacpro/status/1964050781809553880?t=Lepm8HYi3vW1-NUvuuTQ8A&s=19

I have sympathy with H/mount- C/More but it happened in the 1st half. If it happened in the dying moments - maybe - and even then these things are hard overturn. Life is not fair - People make mistakes. Sometimes you just have to suck up these decisions.

All well and good saying that. Wonder how that would go down if you said it to the players that trained all year for championship to then be screwed over with something like that. If it was in an All Ireland final there would be uproar and rightfully so. Should be no different for any club game. I do agree though that there has to be a line drawn somewhere. But the precedent has been set with the league final in Fermanagh

Officiating Sport is not perfect. Wrong decisions are made in every game. You'll rarely get anything near a perfectly officiated game. I've seen dodgy frees giving in the last minute to draw or even win games and these have gone for and against the teams we played. That's just sport- trying to correct this will only leave the game open to other issues down the line. The result is the result.

You bring this in at this level and County boards will get tied up and tied up with appeals and objections, whenever a team feels hard done by - and the losing team always feels hard done by.

There is a line drawn. It's officials not seeing it that's the issue.

[Wildweasel74]

Dodgy frees, that ref need been blind not to see how far inside the line that kid was!

Kerry Club Championships are at the semifinal stage.  I have added where each club finished in the County League for reference.  The County Championship starts weekend of 21 September.

Senior Club semifinals

Na Gaeil (div 3 - 4th)  v Rathmore (div 1 - 9th)
Dr. Crokes (div 1 - 3rd) v Kenmare Shamrocks (div 2 - winners)

Intermediate Club semifinals:

Kilcummin (div 1 - 8th) v Fossa (div 2 - 11th relegated)
Killarney Legion (div 1 - 4th) v An Ghaeltacht (div 2 - 9th)

Premier Junior semifinals:

Keel (div 2 - 8th) v St. Senan's (div 3 - 8th)
Listry (div 3 - 5th) v Ballymacelligott (div 1 - 11th relegated)

So will Fossa be back to Junior championship next year (if they don't win intermediate?) Or are leagues not linked at all?

Na Gaeil 0-16 Rathmore 2-9

County League completely independent of club and county championships.

As number of senior clubs is being moved from 8 to 10, there is no relegation in 2024 or 2025.

Two of previous years' divisional sides, Feale Rangers and Shannon Rangers, have combined to form one divisional side, North Kerry.

Three of the intermediate semi-finalists, namely Kilcummin, Fossa and Killarney Legion, will be the backbone of divisional side East Kerry.  Add junior semi-finalist Listry, Glenflesk (intermediate team, finished 7th in div 1) and Firies (intermediate team, finished 5th in div2) and its easy to see why East Kerry should win the County Championship.  Maybe a limit on the number of intermediate teams in any divisional team should be considered.

Doesn't seem to be too many people watching Dublin club football. Is that Parnell park? Is all the crowd on the camera side?

[gallsman]

Fossa win their semi final by 3. Kilcummin could have scored 3 goals in the last 90 seconds and hit the post with the last kick of the game after Paudie Clifford got turned over on his own 45.

Have been impressed with Fossa number 12 in the 3 games I've seen this year

Looks like Hollymount Carramore's appeal fell on deaf ears.

[Captain Scarlet]

Naas finally beaten in Kildare - SARSFIELDS 0-19 NAAS 1-7

1,820 days and 31 games have passed since Naas last tasted Championship defeat in Kildare, that against Celbridge in 2020, but they were very much second best on the day as Sarsfields turned on the style.

It only means the finish second in the group but it was a big win for the Sash who lost to them badly in the Div 1 Final a few weeks back.

Armagh SFC at knockout stage. 4 group winners are straight through to the QFs:
Maghery
Cullyhanna
Crossmaglen
Clann Éireann

QF play-offs are as follows, my picks highlighted in bold:
Culloville v St Peter's
Carrickcruppen v Granemore
Armagh Harps v Madden
Killeavy v Mullaghbawn

[bennydorano]

£12 into the Junior B final 2moro night   and coincidentally no live Armagh TV coverage, only deferred, eventho there's nothing else on- i have paid £90 for a pass. Sticking the arm in there big time. If it was labelled the Reserve or B final as in previous years - i think it has been £5 entry

[imtommygunn]

Letterkenny going out a surprise in Donegal? Glenties down by five too but still early.

How many steps that lad Gray take for his goal, Ridiculous
