Kerry defender Shane Enright has been ruled out of next weekend’s Munster SFC final.

Dr Crokes 1-18 Dingle 1-8: Dr Crokes claimed a fifth senior club championship crown in seven seasons when crushing Dingle at a windswept Austin Stack Park, yesterday.

What is it with Mayo and their management? They continue to display an incredible propensity for making things as difficult as they can for themselves.

At the moment Munster finals aren’t even full stops on Kerry’s road. Éamonn Fitzmaurice has yet to postmortem a loss in the province as manager, but for the best part of yesterday’s 11-point defeat of Cork.

The major takeaways from Kerry’s 10-point win over Tipperary...

Such is the way of these things now Munster finals wins, even four of them in a row, are viewed through the prism and in the context of August and September.

Colm Cooper is among a number of players who are likely to be available to Eamonn Fitzmaurice for Kerry’s Division 1 trip to Down on Sunday week.

John Fogarty runs the rule over the Division 1 contenders.

Eamonn Fitzmaurice has challenged growing assertions that the demands placed on inter-county footballers are both unreasonable and unsustainable.

McGrath Cup - Clare 0-12 Kerry 0-9: Paul Galvin will not be returning to the Kerry football set-up for the season ahead, manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice confirmed yesterday evening.

James O’Donoghue is facing a second major shoulder operation that will rule him out of action for Kerry for up to six months.

Boss Eamon Fitzmaurice has confirmed that Kerry have a clean bill of health ahead of the All-Ireland final apart from long-term absentees Kieran O’Leary and Mikey Geaney, who will not play again this season.

Whatever happens in Croke Park tomorrow, Kerry will be nourished by its western extremities for the foreseeable future. Dingle and An Ghaeltacht are fertile breeding grounds for the nascent talent coming through the system. Who’s responsible is less important than facilitating the unimpeded movement of the conveyor belt. Five-time All-Ireland winner Tommy Griffin is better-placed than most to look back and forward...

Good afternoon. Here’s all the news you need to know this lunchtime.

Footballer of the year James O’Donoghue is a long shot to be fit for Kerry’s All-Ireland semi final against Tyrone on Sunday week - but his fellow attacker Mikey Geaney’s season is already over, manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice revealed last night.

Dingle 2-4 Milltown-Castlemaine 1-4: Every bit as dogged and dour as the scoreline indicates, Dingle were forced to dig deep to overcome a tough challenge from Milltown-Castlemaine in this Kerry SFC Round 1 replay at Páirc an Aghasaigh on Saturday.

Milltown-Castlemaine 1-13 Dingle 1-13 (AET): There was stalemate in Milltown in this Kerry SFC first-round game as the hosts recovered from five points down with 15 minutes left of normal time, to claw themselves back into contention.

MY brother Brian was corner back for the Galway minors in 1986 when they beat Cork in the All-Ireland final. Later that afternoon Kerry beat Tyrone in the senior game. Brian is 45 now and in the intervening 28 years Kerry have since failed to defeat an Ulster team in an All-Ireland senior final.

Donaghy starts, Kerry predictable?

Kerry star Declan O’Sullivan, despite a leg injury, rescued Dromid Pearses (0-16 to 1-13) in a thrilling Kerry JFC quarter-final at Churchill yesterday.
