Dramatic finish to the senior county hurling final yesterday between Kilmoyley and Lixnaw

Lixnaw two points up in injury time,Kilmoyley won a long range free which they dropped into the square,the ball broke to Daniel Collins who was fouled referee Fergal Horgan awarded a penalty

Last puck of the game,Collins stepped up to take the penalty,didnt hit it too cleanly I thought and Martin Stackpoole saved it,Kilmoyley scored the rebound but it didnt count as the final whistle had gone

And then all hell broke loose,Lixnaw players celebrating in the corner and the Kilmoyley players and management surrounded the ref,the gardai had to escort the ref off the pitch

Final score

Lixnaw 1-16 Kilmoyley 2-11

Examiner reporting that the referee was assaulted?

I’m surprised Daniel Collins has been able to play at all, Shane Brick said he has to take an injection into his back before every match he is in that much pain.

Shane Conway was the difference, no defender was able to contain him all year really in the Kerry SHC.

Seems a bit farcical to blow the whistle as the ball is being pucked into an empty net

A ref will often tell a player this is the last puck or kick of a ball. TBF he gave them there penalty. They failed to score it. He blew the whistle. The chances of saving a penalty in hurling is slim enough

Stephen Rochford for the Kerry job!:D:D:D:D:D

Yeah I get that but its a bad position to be in, better to wait for the ball to go dead or something.

He told the taker that it was the last puck of the game, its pretty black and white. Tough way to lose but it was 100% correct from the ref.

Many the frowned brow was there wondering how Donie Buckle was lost to Mayo these last few years, no harm in welcoming him back into the fold in some capacity.

Peter Keane & Donnie Buckley seems to be the new management team

Seem to be is a strange term to use. Did you catch them making business cards?

I did, yeah. I caught them making business cards.

I'm part of the making business cards police- its usually a boring job as very few people make business cards these days but when you get a scoop like this- you have to share

The_Honeybadger

The rumours have been flying since Eamon left, first Diarmuid Murphy had the job, then Jack etc. Hard to know what to believe.

If it is Keane he would need a strong and experienced team around him as he will be facing a gigantic step up from minor, just watch on Sunday the time and space those lads will have on the ball and compare it to the senior game that follows. That said, I think most people would be happy to see him get the job, especially if Buckley is part of the setup.

Is Buckley the messiah that everyone seems to think he is though? The main reason people want him involved is that he had Mayo going so well and had them defending and tackling brilliantly, probably our weakest area. Look at the players he had in that defence though, Boyle, Higgins, Keegan, Barrett etc. Brilliant footballers and hard men, we don’t have players that compare at the moment. Perhaps in time Foley, O’Sullivan, O’Beaglaoich, White and others can reach that kind of level but they are a good bit away yet.

It's not that I'm advocating that managerial team- it's just what I have been told by a few people whose opinion/knowledge I trust.

It would be a big step up for Keane and I know little of him to be honest but Buckley comes with a good rep and I do agree with you that his skills are in areas that we are deficient so it would seem a natural fit

Yeah I know where you’re coming from. Tbh Keane should have gotten the U20 job when the thing was shaken up if he was seen as a successor. I don’t think it’s a good idea for Jack to come back again to the senior job, he is a terrific manager but people seem to be sick of the sight of him and I could see people turning on him very quickly if he doesn’t work miracles.

Pat O’Shea is the logical choice but if he doesn’t want it Keane probably should get it. If Buckley is in there as coach and selector you’ll probably see Tommy Griffin involved and Maurice presumably kept on.This appointment is a very important one given all the young lads currently coming through.

Best of luck to the minors on Sunday.

Pat won’t be taking it- I’ve been told!
Keane & Buckley are a cert, as the story goes!

I genuinely like jack but he’d be a horrendous appointment for mayo.

Ye guys have a history of shooting yourselves in the foot with odd internal decisions and Jack is the kind of person who’d start a fight with an empty crisp packet

I wonder was Pat asked and not interested do you know? I’d have him in a heartbeat, it was shameful the way he was treated in 2008 and I don’t blame him for not wanting anything to do with it ever again.

I would love to see Jack go to Mayo for the pure entertainment value. There is only one way that could possibly end! He’d be a good fit for the likes of Kildare, Roscommon or Cork but there are too many big personalities in that Mayo dressing room, there’d be skin and hair flying in no time.

Some awful wides in this first half

DDC1990

Galway a far better team. Dominating the midfield battle and have fantastic footpassing. They are really tight defenders as well and every Kerry score has come under serious pressure.

Still 4 points isn't much.

Can't see them winning unless Galway tire seriously around the middle.

The_Honeybadger

In big trouble here, Galway are far better around the middle and oddly look like they want it more, we lost several 60/40’s throughout the first half. Perhaps the occasion has gotten to a few of our lads, hopefully they can get a grip around midfield in the second half and maybe get a goal. Not looking good at the minute though

dobman88

That's a great response from Kerry. 5 without reply start of the half.

DDC1990

Great fight from the lads no matter what the final result.

All square now.

The_Honeybadger

Serious effort and Galway look to be tiring, all to play for
