It was a bad weekend for three established big three clubs in Tralee, as they all failed to land a glove on their respective championship opponents. 

Following Austin Stacks' defeat to Na Gaeil on Friday night, John Mitchels were expected to lose to Kilcummin, but while some would have thought that Gneeveguilla would test Kerins O’Rahilly’s in Strand Road, nobody could have predicted a 19-point humiliation as Gneeveguilla shredded the home defence at times to record a 5-16 to 0-12 victory and are now back in the battle for the two qualifying places.
