I think their club Kanturk are intermediate as they are more demographically a football area.

Ah I see. Bit like Mick Fitzsimons in Dublin who has played for UCD and his own club in the same year in Dublin Championships because his club aren't senior

How does that work? Would the Cork lads not have played for their clubs in the competition already making them ineligible?

No, the C.I.T. lads play for intermediate or down.

Deise 2012

Tallow are into the County Final for the first time since 1985 in Waterford after they beat Ballyduff Upper in the first semi final yesterday. Final score 0-13 to 0-10. De La Salle play Ballgunner today in the second semi final.

Next weekend in Football it's The Nire V Stradbally in one semi final and Kilrossanty V Ballinacouirty in the second.

Is it Carraigtwohill that will play in the Munster Club Championship this year regardless of the result today, or will CIT be allowed play.

True, but I cannot see anything other than a CIT win - weather will spoil it a fair bit though, under foot conditions will be crap.

Just to prove me wrong - Carrig turned in a brilliant performance of pressure and passion to beat CIT in a tightly fought Cork final by 0-15 V 1-11

Wexford SFC final will be Castletown vs. Horeswood

Hammer Archer

Meath SFC Final between Dunshaughlin and Summerhill finished in a draw, 10 points apiece.
Now the winners will have less of a wait until their Leinster game.

The Galway SHC is still motoring along, despite the fact that the Seniors have been out of competitive action since the end of July. :rolleyes:

TAD 0-11 v St Thomas' 2-09

Also Corofin are into another county Senior Football final. They beat Milltown while Mountbellew/Moylough and Tuam Stars drew and will have to replay their 1/4 final to see who will meet Salthill/Knocknacarra in the other semi-final.

Clonoulty v Drom/Inch on October 16th to decide who are the Premier team in the Premier county for 2011.

Sars were dethroned by a spirited Clonoulty today and Drom beat Mullinahone without any real pressure. Interesting final ahead.

Genuine question, are the big guns on the Kerry team not playing well for their club?

Can only speak for KOR. David Moran is injured obv, Micheál Quirke playing fantastically as he always does at club level, Barry John Walsh is out for the rest of the season, Barry John Keane and Tommy Walsh were lacklustre, despite playing fairly well against An Ghaeltacht the week before in the County League.

KOR, Crokes and Rathmore are all playing County Championship QFs this weekend coming, so it's possible that some of the teams were less interested in the club games than usual.

I read today that Crokes lined out without Gooch,probably minding him for the big game next weekend against Austin Stacks in the County Championship,still thought they would be too strong for Rathmore,good win for Rathmore ahead of their game against Mid Kerry next weekend

Can somebody please explain the Kerry County Championship format?I know regions play in it but the champions don't seem to be the representative club for Kerry.

There are two competitions, the Club Championship & the County Championship.

The Club Championship is a knockout competition played between individual clubs only, while the County Championship is participated in by standalone clubs as well as amalgamations of clubs based on the divisional Championships within the county (i.e. East Kerry Championship, South Kerry Championship etc.).

Certain clubs who feel equipped to compete successfully on their own in the County Championship will at times leave their Divisional side and enter the County Championship separately, an example of which is Dingle going out on their own instead of playing with West Kerry this year.

Participation in the AI Club competition is dependant on how clubs do in the County Championship, in that an individual club winning the County Championship will obv represent Kerry, while a Divisional team winning will be rightly disallowed. In the case of a Divisional side winning the County Championship, Kerry's representative will usually be the winner of the Club Championship, or a losing club finalist of the County Championship depending on the dates.

The County Championship is orders of magnitude more prestigious than the Club Championship.

Birr 2-9 St Rynaghs 1-5
Coolderry 3-14 Kilcormac/Killoughey 1-9

Bad Weather and bad Games.
of the 4 teams i can't think of one forward that had a good game.
but should be noted at St Rynaghs had i thinks 7 or 8 players in there first semi-final and are a very young light team. but the birr backs were very good.
as for the second match, K/K didn't turn up on the day and Coolderry sent some bad wides.

Also note that hurling in offaly is hoping to be back in it home ground of Birr next year for the Semi and final.

Kilkenny results this past weekend

Quarter Final Replay :-

Ballyhale 2-18 Carrickshock 1-17


Quarter Final:

O'Loughlin Gaels 2-11 Dicksboro 1-10

Was at this one, truly one of the worst games i've seen in many a year, mainly due to the terrible conditions. Dicksboro looked the better team for a long time particularly the start of the second half. Then OLG scored a goal direct from a 65 and Dickboro kind fell apart at that point, with OLG going on to a convincing win, the Dickboro goal was a consolation right at the end.

Upcoming games:

Relegation Final

Clara v Tullaroan

Semi Finals:

James Stephens v St. Martins
Ballyhale v O'Loughlin Gaels

Looks like a James Stephens/Ballyhale final, but I suppose you never know what might happen.

May have to head to this. Father is a Drom man, his brother-in-law is Clonoulty. Will be a fun day.

Carlow senior football semi final replay was on Saturday, and last years champions Old Leighlin beat Eire Og 2-7 to 1-6. Good game, Eire Og went 1-2 to 0-1 up, but a well taken goal on ht brought OL back to a pt behind. Scored a second early in 2nd half, and were from then on by far the better team. Eire Og only managed 2 pts in 2nd half.

Sets up a final against Tinryland who are in their 1st final in 20 years.


Yesterday we had the Senior Hurling final, a poor enough game really. Naomh Eoin & Mount Leinster Rangers drew 0-10 to 1-7. It was a hard hitting game with good defensive work. Conditions were brutal for hurling, but yet again the lack of scoring forwards in Carlow was very obvious.
Replay next Sunday so hopefully we get a better day & much better game.

Reigning champs Dr.Crokes beat Austin Stacks 1 14 to 1 13 , bit of controversy Stacks were 7 points down with 18 minutes left brought it back to level Crokes got 1 in front back to level Crokes 1 in front and game is blown up about 30 seconds over time despite a number of stoppages in the 2nd half including 1 for an injury to the Crokes goal keeper that took at least 3 minutes, also the goalie was off the field and i felt the game should have continued.

In the second Tipp sfc 1/4 final today the combo team from north tipp, Thomas Mcdonaghs beat JK Brackens by 4 points. Granted its a combo team but its an achievement for any north tipp team to be involved at this stage of the competition.

Crokes Mid Kerry final

who is in the club decider in the event that one of the divisional teams wins it?

i think Rathmore is there..

regardless, if a club team reaches the final against a divisional team, they should automatically be put forward to the munster championship, as they are the best club team in the county and crokes should now, already be deemed to be kerrys representitives.

Hammer Archer

Kildalkey won their third Meath Senior hurling championship in a row by beating Navan O'Mahony's 3-11 to 10 points in the final. Though to be fair, their real final was in the semi final where they beat Kilmessan after extra time.

The replay of the football final is on Sunday.

Padraig Pearses won the Roscommon Intermediate championship, man of the match was Niall Daly who having starred for our u21's on Friday night headed back to Cork and played centre back on the winning UCC team in yesterday's final!

Sept 25th Senior Hurling Championship Semi-Finals:
Four Roads vs Padraig Pearses (Four Roads red hot favourites to win championship)
Oran vs Athleague (Athleague Favourites)

Four Roads defeated Athleague in the final, 1-14 to 0-6. Athleague were prob the favs going after an fairly easy victory over oran. Four Roads were very lucky and needed a replay to beat Padraig Pearses, a shane curley free in injury time earned them the replay. The score was Four Roads 0-5 Athleague 0-3 at half time, but Four Roads prove too much in the second half. This is 4 in a row for Four Roads, and they look stronger than ever, the average age of the team yesterday in the final was just 22.

Hammer Archer

Summerhill won the Meath SFC after beating Dunshaughlin by 14 points to 1-9 after extra time in the replay of their drawn game two weeks ago.The teams were tied 10 points to 1-7 at the end of normal time.
Dunshaughlin can count themselves unlucky not to have won it as they were two points up going into injury time and possibly should have had a free straight in front of the posts when they were a point up. Also the free that drew Summerhill level was very soft.
In extra time, Summerhill scored 4 points in the first half and held Dunshaughlin scoreless and that was enough for them to pull through.

Drom & Inch beat Clonoulty by 2 points in the Tipperary SHC final yesterday.

Kerrydude1981

Dr Crokes and Mid Kerry are in the Kerry County final,semi finals were played on Saturday.Kerry legend Seamus Moynihan came on for East Kerry and was outstanding by all accounts.

Dr Crokes 0-13 vs 1-9 West Kerry
Mid Kerry 1-12 vs 1-7 East Kerry

The Hurling final was played as well yesterday,Ballyduff beat Crotta o Neills by 2 points,new Antrim boss Jerry Wallis trains Ballyduff

g'wan the townies!

Old Leighlin won the Carlow SFC for 2nd year in a row yesterday. Beat Tinryland who were in their 1st final since 1992, and haven't won one since 1981.

Tinryland got off to a great start 2 pts in 2 mins...but then OL took over and dominated rest of half, led by 1-4 to 0-3 at ht. Tinryland had great start to 2nd half and levelled it up 1-4 to 7. But OL kicked up a gear and went 1-8 to 7 ahead and had complete control.
Till a disaster of a free kick in the backs went straight to a Tinryland man, who put together a fantastic quick passing move to leave the full fwd Evan Doyle with an empty net to tap into.
In injury time Tinryland burst through the middle, and everyone was waiting for the handy free by the ref to get another big crowd back next week, but OL didn't foul and cleanly won the ball back. Whistle went then a few seconds later.

Not the best quality game, but very exciting. Old Leighlin are a strange team, have great defenders, really hard to get scores against, have 1 great midfielder and 1 average one. Seriously lack quality forwards, have only 1 really.
But always seem to win close low scoring games. Defensive system is excellent and in Joe Murphy a former Eire Og and Carlow player have a very talented manager. He's a certainty to be the next Carlow boss after Luke Dempsey.

was at the kerry final yesterday, Shane Nolan is some hurler. scored some of the best points ive ever seen. only 20 years old and under 21 again next year.

potentially the best talent ever in kerry. anybody else there? crotta threw it away, had 6 chances to extend their 6 point lead at the start of the 2nd half, including one guilt edge goal chance and blew it.

Ya went to the final yesterday,hurling county final day in Kerry is a great day out,the football county final doesnt come near it for atmosphere and colour.

Didn't see a mention of the Limerick hurling final.


Na Piarsaigh beat Ahane fairly well with Shane Dowling scoring a pretty incredible 1-10. He's an exceptional talent and they have some other very good players too and I think they'll have give the Munster title a good shot anyway. Kevin Downes scored 1-1 that day too.


And Monaleen won the football final yesterday against Newcastlewest in what was apparently an awful game.

I watched that final on Tg4,great win for Na Piarsaigh,Shane Dowling was on fire that day,I dont think he missed any free,I think Na Piarsaigh had 4 or 5 of the Limerick under 21 team that won the Munster Final,should give the Munster club a right rattle now,Limerick hurling is on the way back which is great to see
