Christ lads I'm actually bewildered at some peoples prediction on this game. Even some fellow kerry fans saying it's going to be tight. I'm sorry but if kerry dont win this one by 6+ points i will be worried. Yes galway are a decent team and probably have the best footballer in the country at the moment in shane walsh but i feel paul murphy will do a good man marking job on him. Take him out of it and Galway are a bit toothless. Galways midfield is nowhere near the level required to win an all ireland neither is their defence. Kyne and bradshaw are just waiting to be taken to the cleaners. Big Croke park field will show up their flaws.

Now to the people questioning kerry on their recent wins over cork and clare

2017 we beat clare by 6 points
2018 we beat clare by 22 points

2017 we beat cork by 11 points
2018 we beat cork by 17 points

Now lads not only is the points diff impressive but the performance, intensity in the tackle, and fast kick passing has gone up a level... Tbh if i was galwegian id be happy and hopeful to lose by less than10 points. That would be success.
Screenshot this and whatever but im telling ye watch this space. Up the kingdom

Really looking forward to this game and this is the game I'll be watching, world cup final is usually a borefest anyway, I fancy Kerry to shade it by a few points but I wouldn't be surprised either if Galway beat them. This will tell us just how good Kerry are, impossible to judge anything by the standard in Munster now, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Kerry are the real deal now and the biggest threat to the Dubs 4 in a row.

So it's almost upon us. Can't wait for it now and to see how our young team do against the first proper test we have faced all summer.

Call it, Kerry or Galway?

I'm going to go for a slight Kerry win, hoping that our forward talent will see us through.

It's big test for Galway and will give us a good idea if we are contenders or not that's a serious looking Kerry team on paper. Our u21 went out last year and beat a very fanciied Kerry team in the semi final it should be a cracker

Galway by 2 points, Galway to bag three goals today, that Kerry defense has still not been sorted, a very poor Cork team exposed them particularly down the left wing. Similar game to Galway/Kerry U21 game last year with similar result. Galway need to be let play, if the game plan does not allow an attacking outlet of one targetman & two runners off him for quick ball over the top then no doubt Kerry will edge it. Attacking game plan similar to second half of Hyde Park game vital from the start otherwise curtains.

Hopefully Galway will get stuck into and soften up these young upstarts from kerry.... ;o)

But I cant see the tribesman winning this game.

This game is a big test fot both teams, is this Kerry team ready or is it year too early for them. Can Galway produce the form their league form promised?
