All Ireland club hurling and football finals are on the same day. Dual clubs are rightly catered for at county level.

Dingle comfortably through to the Munster final to take on Barrs. Terrible decision to have a double header in Healy Park.

That's only for this year as no teams can be in both a Football and Hurling final as this year has panned out.
With the weather forecast it was absolutely a terrible decision to have a double header there.

Thurles seems an odd venue choice for Dingle v Barrs. Though Fitzgerald Stadium is in Kerry obviously, it is an hours drive from Dingle and also an hours drive from Togher in Cork.

Re Ryan O'Toole, how can a half of fooball be regarded as a one game suspension served?

Petty enough complaint from Daingean. Who i hope win, which i think they will, and win All Ireland.

Should of put the 3 finals on the same day at a closer venue to all cork / kerry clubs. Would make for better crowds at the games

I would be surprised if the Munster winners are not the weakest of the 4 semi finalist.

You'd want some surface to be able to withstand 3 games on the same pitch and same day, at this time of year.
The double-header in Healy Park last weekend was a big factor in the second game being abandoned.
It'd be a massive risk to try play 3, unless it's Croke Park.

Daingean ran out of road last year. Played some ridiculous amount of games over a three month period. Ironically, the theoretically tougher path via county championship has benefitted them. Lost mad game v Killarney Crokes from strong position.

Will take a really good team to beat them and don't think that be the Barrs, Nor anyone else in my humble opinion.

One Kerry team in the last 30 years has won the Senior club All-Ireland title and that was back in 2017. Last final appearance was 2017 losing by 12 points.

Won't be surprised if Barrs beat them and if not I'd expect Ballyboden will.

Mods can edit that to last final appearance 2019.

Odd comment. Thurles is a million miles from Dingle. Terrible venue choice. Bizarre that Gaelic Grounds Limerick wasn't selected when flipping a coin for Killarney or Cork wasn't being entertained.

Comfortable wins for Athy and Boden. Hard to see Boden being stopped.

RTE Radio 1 abandoned the Ulster semi final at the end of extra time - before the penalties! Absolutely crazy stuff. It would hardly hurt to delay subsequent scheduling.
Great football this weekend anyway, in contrast with hurling. Story of the year.

Did they switch over to breathless commentary on City or Villa or Town?

Wouldn't be first time.

Supercharged with Anna Geary!

I was supercharged for the wrong reasons that they weren't staying on for the penalties, as I was driving along. Absolutely ridiculous!

Couldn't believe it, makes you wonder what RTÉ thinks our national game is.

What a marathon with extra time and penalties. Pity throw in wasn't at 3.30pm to allow completion before 6pm. Was driving and missed coverage of penalty shoot out, fortunately RnaG returned for an update and a report after 'an nuacht' .
