Replying To letsgetgoing: "Can anyone explain the changes to the championship structure for 2026? What are the advantages and possible disadvantages? What implications will it have for teams and supporters? Will there be more time between matches?. Will there be a gap between the finish of the league and the start of the championship? Will it suit the stronger teams or give teams trying to make the breakthrough a better chance?" Every County has its own separate Club Championship format. Can we not get 2025 over before we start mentioning 2026? Scenicparish (Donegal) - Posts: 737 - 04/08/2025 22:29:23 2630081 Link

If you win your first two games, you're straight into the 1/4s. So I guess it's one fewer game for the stronger teams. HolyGhost (Kerry) - Posts: 17 - 04/08/2025 23:41:04 2630089 Link

Just noticed that I entered this post on the wrong thread. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 790 - 05/08/2025 07:08:28 2630097 Link
Errigal Ciarán v Ardboe to launch 2025 Tyrone SFC. Tyrone remarkably in this day and age run their championship in straight knockout. Errigal Ciarán have a high national profile after winning Ulster last year and getting to the All Ireland final. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 9165 - 05/08/2025 16:01:05 2630181 Link
Donegal championships underway this week. St Eunans and Naomh Conaill will be the big favourites, both have many county men. Hoping my own club can surprise a few people in the Intermediate and get us back to Senior. Really enjoy this time of year after inter county, back to the grassroots!

Errigal should be unstoppable in Tyrone, maybe Trillick to give them a scare. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2402 - 05/08/2025 17:00:23 2630190 Link
Replying To tirawleybaron: "IS that your pitch to have the Kerry Championship on? With only 8/9 senior clubs and a bunch of well organised divisional teams, it probably is the best standard along side Dublins "super club" model. Outside of that, the odd clash of a counties main rivals might get some interest ( Stephanites v Castlebar, Corofin v Moycullen, Nemo v Castlehaven etc" I wouldn't mind inter-county going that route - 8/9 strong counties and "a bunch of well organised divisional teams" covering all others. omahant (USA) - Posts: 3345 - 05/08/2025 18:14:14 2630196 Link

Another update from Sligo. Shamrock Gaels recover from slow start to beat county and Connacht champions Coolera Strandhill Coolera Strandhill 1-13 Shamrock Gaels 0-17. Some shock there! legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 9165 - 07/08/2025 16:52:03 2630455 Link
Seánie Shea's Kenmare v Paul Geaney's Dingle is probably the higher profile opening round game of the Kerry Senior Club Championship. Dr Crokes and Dingle the favourites to be battling it out. The Kerry representative will take on the Limerick representative in the Munster semi final. The Kerry representative to be determined after the Senior County Championship. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 9165 - 08/08/2025 07:40:12 2630502 Link
