Oisin Maunsell netted twice as Abbeydorney completed a Kerry SHC three-in-a-row with a 3-16 to 1-12 victory over St Brendan's. Abbeydorney will hope to make an impression on the Munster intermediate championship later in the year.

Replying To TheBishop:  "Good to see James McLaughlin playing so well over the weekend, lets hope he can stay fit as he's such a talented lad.

Thought McGlinchey was excellent for Tuam, either caught or broke a lot of kickouts.

Ross Coen struggled to make a huge impact for Corofin although showed glimpses of what he can do but didn't need to, the 2nd half was far too easy for them. Liam Silke had a brilliant first half.

Good to hear Patrick Kelly was back for MM after his injury woes.

Anyone at the Dunmore & Caltra games comment on how Colm Costello & Mikey Mulryan got on?"
Stayed to watch the Dunmore/Monivea Abbey game after Brendans/Caherlistrane. Glenn Kelly was very impressive off the deck. McDaid was also handful for Dunmore and looks to be playing injury free. Dunmore were poor from their standards, look very light in the full back line, Trevor Mullins bullied them in second half at 14. First half Colm Costello was quite but had a great 2nd, ended up scoring the winning goal on the last play, finished with 2-03. Shane McGrath was very good, looked like he was playing midfield, finished with 1-03

Hopefully we have an open senior championship like last year and continue having a different winner. Neigbbouring counties which have the same winner every year is just not high quality

To get this thread back on topic...
Kerry claimed their first Dalata Hotel Group All-Ireland U20 title since 2008 when they routed holders Tyrone at Croke Park with a dominant second half display on May 30th. Ciarraí abú!"
I think we just need to change the title to:

""Kerry All Ireland Champions 2027?"

Kerry will have it handy enough next year as Mayo will be on the beer for the year.

Replying To Dothesimplethingswell:  "Its all really superficial anyway.. While Mayo were arguably the best team on the day there was still just one kick of a ball between them and Kerry which would have brought extra time. Had Kerry won either at full time or after extra time (which they could easily have) the whole narrative would be completely different and the focus would be on all Mayos wides and how the naive high risk game was always going to lose them an All Ireland final and how Kerry fired on the day that mattered most. Anyone can point to a screen and draw boxes on it after the game and pick the parts that won or lost it and basically state the plane obvious without daring to cause a stair. Post analysis is heading down the same road as soccer with screens.
Fair play to Mayo they seized their opportunity but its much more likely that Kerry will be in the final next year than Mayo."
Neither of them might be in next year's final. That Kerry team has played in four All Ireland finals in five years winning two and losing two. That's a lot of road for a team. With so many matches now in a compressed championship, are a team better off not winning their province. Only one of the All Ireland semi finalists this year Kerry won their province. I think a lot of counties will reassess after this season. The key is to peak going down the stretch as Kerry did last year and Mayo this year.

You can give that narrative for any big game.
Jim Gavin is regarded as a genius but looks at all those one point wins against Mayo…

Sport at the highest level is a knife edge. The champions write the narrative and take the plaudits. Thank god and at last it's us this time.

I did say give it a week and people will try to find a way to pick holes in our win. Changes nothing though.
