All-Ireland replay puts squeeze on Kerry county championship plans

The All-Ireland final requiring a replay has meant the entire Kerry senior football championship will be squeezed into a seven-week period, but county board chairman Tim Murphy is confident they will have a representative in time for the Munster club semi-final on November 17.

Win or lose at Croke Park this Saturday, Kerry players will line out with their clubs the weekend after next. And for the two teams who go all the way to the county final, there is the strong possibility they’ll play six games across eight weekends.
