Dr Crokes (Kerry) 1-12 Loughmore-Castleiney (Tipperary) 0-9: No energy, no urgency, no composure, poor decision-making, sloppy with ball in hand and wasteful in front of goal.

Dr Crokes 2-16 Kenmare District 1-12: They’re back. The famine on Lewis Road, although brief, is no more. 

Kerry SFC Round 2A - Dr Crokes 2-16 St Kieran’s 3-12: After a facile passage to Round 2 the previous weekend, Dr Crokes were given a much sterner examination of their Kerry SFC credentials as they just sneaked past a dogged St Kieran’s side in Cordal on Saturday.

Rathmore 2-15 Dr Crokes 1-13: A third victory for Rathmore over Dr Crokes in the last two years, but without question the most significant as they ended the Killarney side’s Kerry SFC aspirations for 2015 yesterday in Killarney. They also qualified for the semi- finals of the SFC for the first time in the club’s history.

Dr Crokes 1-11 Austin Stacks 1-10: Experience was what Martin Byrnes cited at the finish.

The red and white brigade came in their thousands with quiet intent to defy the pundits and the bookmakers.

There he is in typical pose, tearing out of defence at full stretch, about to hop the leather from his left hand and God help anyone blocking his path.

Dank Sundays in December aren’t the stage for a carnival, but there was the faintest sense of a football freak show at Páirc Uí Chaoimh yesterday.

Dr Crokes 0-19 Castlehaven 0-12

Dr. Crokes (Kerry) 0-19 Castlehaven (Cork) 0-12

Different season but it’s the same old 2012 that Dr Crokes started as they didn’t mean to go on.

Kerry champions Dr Crokes will be at full strength for Sunday’s Munster Club SFC final with Castlehaven.

Beaten Clonmel Commercials were well beaten, but even Dr Crokes joint manager Vince Casey was impressed with the manner in which the Tipp side approached yesterday’s provincial club semi final in Killarney.

Clonmel Commercials star forward Colman Kennedy could miss this weekend’s Munster Club SFC semi-final due to a Cork City U19 game.

John Egan was hailed as one of the ‘unsung heroes’ of Kerry football yesterday as former team-mates, GAA officials and admirers joined in paying tribute to the player credited with “terrorising defences”, for an innate ability to get “vital scores at vital times” and for perfecting the role of the corner-forward.

Crossmaglen are all but certain to contest captain Stephen Kernan’s second-half dismissal, which threatens to rule him out of their second successive All-Ireland final on St Patrick’s Day.

Dr Crokes captain Luke Quinn is adamant the Kerry champions will not struggle in the physicality stakes when they face Crossmaglen Rangers in Saturday’s All-Ireland Club SFC semi-final.

Crossmaglen’s three-time All-Ireland winning manager Joe Kernan has warned that separation or segregation of supporters would spell the death knell for the GAA.

Dr Crokes have called on the GAA to segregate supporters and ensure proper safety procedures are in place for next month’s All-Ireland senior semi-final against Crossmaglen Rangers at Portlaoise.

LOOK at the scoreline and ponder the date.

KERRY senior champions Dr Crokes face their toughest examination of the season when they face UCC in a novel Munster club senior football decider at Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney.

DR CROKES midfielder Ambrose O’Donovan is fit for Sunday’s Munster Club SFC semi-final against Kilmurry-Ibrickane after missing their quarter-final win over Ballinacourty with a back injury.

DR CROKES’ manager Harry O’Neill has said he reshaped his team to contain Ballinacourty star Gary Hurney last Sunday in the Munster club championship.

THE Ballinacourty footballers are an experienced bunch who’ve dealt with plenty of heartbreak in recent years.

THERE must have been times in recent years when Dr Crokes pondered if their luckless streak in Kerry deciders would ever cease.
