District Finale?
UNLESS matters down South this weekend in Waterville require another day out, this weekend will mark the finish of all the district championships in Kerry by the end of the month of November. This is something fairly significant at a time when district championships are under the microscope in the current calendar and a report on them is due to be published at County Committee level in the New Year.
North Kerry heads for Ballylongford this weekend to settle matters left over from Brosna as Knocknagoshel’s dramatic comeback last Sunday means that both Listowel Emmets and Knocknagoshel have to do it all again this Sunday at 2pm at O’Rahilly Park. There has to be a winner on the day this Sunday meaning both extra-time and penalties are a possibility if there still is no separating the sides.
South Kerry gets the weekend underway however with St Marys and Skellig Rangers heading to Waterville for a repeat of the 2016 final on Saturday at 3pm in a match that will go to a replay if level after normal time. Bryan Sheehan bids for his 16th South Kerry medal and St Marys as a club bid for a 40th title overall against a Skellig side seeking their first Jack Murphy Cup since 2006.
