Cats' drive for five rekindles memories of the darkest day
THIS Sunday will arguably be the defining sporting moment of the year as the Kilkenny hurlers aim to do what Kerry failed to do in 1982 and win five consecutive All-Ireland titles ina-row. The run-up to this Sunday's Hurling final will bring back bittersweet memories for a lot of Kerry fans of that day when Seamus Darby denied the Kingdom what seemed to be their moment in history and the intriguing thing about Sunday's battle between the Cats and Tipperary is indeed whether history repeats itself or will Kilkenny heed the warnings of times past?
Sheehan inspires champs to easy win over Kierans
IF there's a team out there that is serious about relieving South Kerry of their county championship title they are going to have to come up something much better than what St Kierans brought to Cahersiveen on Sunday. St Kierans came with a sound looking team – on paper – laden with senior, junior and minor intercounty players, and seemed intent on making life difficult for the champions, but ultimately their challenge reflected the nature of the three district boards they draw their players from – disjointed.
Will it be third time lucky for Southerners?
HEADING into their third consecutive Minor final, South Kerry will be considered the favourites ahead of tonight's clash with Kilcummin in JP O'Sullivan Park, however after coming up short in the last two years, their manager John O'Dwyer is not taking anything for granted following their defeats to West Kerry and St Kierans in the last two final encounters.
O'Rahillys rally to see off St Brendans
AS anticipated Kerins O'Rahillys progressed to the quarter-final stage of the AIB sponsored County Senior Football Championship at the Austin Stack Park last Sunday evening with a performance, which was well below par, in a game, which never really scaled any real heights and generally lacked the fervour and the quality one normally associates with championship encounters.
O'Connor back for three-year term as Diarmuid Murphy comes on board as team selector
JACK O'Connor is back in charge of the Kerry senior football team for a third term, after the Dromid Pearses club man's re-appointment for a three-year term was ratified by club delegates on Monday.
Kenmare choked by Crokes
DR CROKES sent out another strong signal of intent as to their championship credentials with a demolition of a Kenmare district side that will be hugely disappointed with their own sub-standard performance.
Paidí keen for second crack at classy Crokes
ACCEPTING that his side would not be any opposition for a decent team in the competition so far, Paidi Ó Sé was relieved to get over the line in Killorglin last Sunday. " We put in a good bit of work early on in the year and really didn't do ourselves justice against Dr Crokes the first day.
'We're where we want to be' admits O'Rahillys Walsh
THERE may be criticisms of the game and of Kerins O'Rahillys performance in it, but coming just eight days after winning a county title maybe a little bit of a fall-off in performance was to be expected. Whether or not you agree with that critique of the game the simple fact of the matter is that Kerins O'Rahillys have won and are through to the quarter-finals.
Rockies boss hails Stacks' calm
KEEPING expectations dampened and keeping hype at the minimum would seem to be Austin Stacks boss Wayne Quillinan's main task over the next couple of weeks. After a very impressive performance and victory over Feale Rangers in Listowel the talk around Tralee will be that the Rockies are back in the big time. They are, but as Quillinan knows only too well they've won nothing save for a round three game as of yet.
Southern management vindicated in starting O'Driscoll
SOUTH Kerry manager John Galvin was confident that the decision to start Gary O'Driscoll at midfield was vindicated. O'Driscoll only returned from a summer in America the day before this match but Galvin said they felt they needed to start O'Driscoll.
