At present the Marys match is fixed for Saturday. So that would appear a no go.
Should be easy enough to move it back to Sunday?
You’d have thought the same about Stradbally’s game with Nemo last Saturday, but that didn’t move for some reason.
Another great example this Monday lunchtime.
It’s a disgrace.
And it’s tremendous fun.
Ah its absolutely superb to be fair. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
Thats why so many decent people leave it.
Imagine the strength of the gaa if they sorted this rubbish out.
Nah, maybe they could just separate the intercounty and club, but its good and grand for the most part.
You claimed St Marys would be competitive in most Senior Championships, yet they struggled to beat the Tipperary Intermediate Champions, the 17th ranked football team in Tipperary.

or maybe they could just call a halt to these ridiculous provincial championships. End it at the county final stage.
Ah no, the provincial championships are massive fun. They’ve given us some absolutely fantastic rows over the years, and even more so since they introduced the Junior and Intermediate.
St. Mary’s would beat a St. Vincent’s/Crossmaglen Rangers dream team.
A 46 year old Maurice Fitzgerald and a 58 year old Jacko would come on for the last 15 minutes and swing it. Maurice would score the winning goal in the last minute from a sideline ball from 100 yards, and everybody would know he meant it.
The greatest shot you never saw.
A one off game in November is hardly a yardstick now is it. I would say a couple of years league results and competing with Crokes et al is a better barometer to be honest.
Intermediate champions in isolation (or Junior) can actually be very good. Just a bunch come thru or they are already senior in the other sport and there is a physical carryover.
Thats without ever going near the preperatio Marys had for that game.
Paul Fitzmaurice outlined the explanation given to Dingle.
“When provided with the rule as stated, if a district wins the county championship, the club champions will go ahead to represent the county but if the competition has not yet been completed, the longest standing member in the county championship will represent Kerry. That’s what we were provided with last night.

Why? scrap minor and 21s and start a under 19 comp. Players underage can’t play for inter county adult teams.
Scrap the these silly provincial championships and a lot of your fixture problems are solved.
Mickee praised the family for their decision. Though it may not have been phrased quite as genuinely as that.
