Photo: Kerry’s Eye Kerry fancied to get back to winning ways By MURT MURPHY fancying their chances coming down to Tralee. Two or Kerry begins their quest to win the Joe McDonagh three years ago they caught us in the first round up Cup this season with a home game against Meath in Meath and they absolutely out hurled us for twenty at the Austin Stack Park on Sunday. Kerry will need minutes and it was game over. So, we have to be aware to bounce back from last Sunday’s disappointment of that and cognizant of the fact that they are coming of losing the Div. 2A League Final to Antrim down to try and lower our colours on Sunday.” in Tullamore. It was a useful game though in Fintan, while admitting there were positives to be had comparison to Meath’s preparation providing it out of the Antrim defeat, maintained that losing a hasn’t left any mental or physical scars. final is always hard to take and that lads were hurting But Kerry’s long serving boss Fintan O’Connor was after it. “Look losing a league final is not easy to take because its big game for the lads and one that they not sure of who will be fit to play against Meath or who exactly will be available “I would say injury wise wanted to win. Then there was the huge a carrot of there are a few of them very sore and I would say we promotion to play the big boys next year and that was will have to reassess things during the week. Shane a big deal for the lads. Conway took four or five very heavy knocks and he willSo they are coming down off a major disappointment do well to be fit. I knew at the start of the week that andwe that has to be factored in. So the lads could react would have to be right for Meath no matter how weeither of two ways but knowing them I think they will got on today. Meath will have an eye on us and theybe up for the game and ready to go again. There were will be waiting in the long grass. They probably had apositives from the game and I think you could not fault challenge match over the weekend and they will be the lads on work rate and a never say die attitude.” 4 2020 JOE MCDONAGH CUP ROUND 1 CIARRAÍ v AN MHÍ So after what has been a strange and in many ways a Mackessy and that would be a very strong platform disconcerting week for players and managers all over to launch attacks from. Evan Murphy could join his the country with squads being hit by Covid cases and brother in the full back line with James O’Connor or close contacts, it must have been very hard to prepare possibly Eric Leen. teams for the weekend. John Buckley might join Brendan O’Leary at midfield But Kerry will be hoping to be near enough full with Shane Nolan moving to the attack. Shane Conway, if strength and the defence played very well last Sunday. fit, will be Kerry’s chief scoring threat, while Mikey Boyle Tomás O’Connor could move to the half back line and Michael Leane could be joined by Michael Slattery to join Jason Diggins and man of the match Fionan who excelled with the Kerry U-20’s on Monday night while Dan Goggin could also be hunting for a place. Meath always play well against Kerry but it is also difficult to know who they will have available as there were reports two weeks ago that the squad were having Covid problems. However on the basis that they will have a strong squad coming to Tralee, Kerry can take nothing for granted. Meath’s keeper Colm O’Riordan is a good shot stopper while Jack Regan is the main attacking threat while free taker Padraig O’Hanrahan does not miss too many. Kerry gave Meath a right hammering in the league two years ago but this year in Trim Kerry won 0-13 to 0-8 on a terrible afternoon for hurling.

Ba mhaith liom fáilte speisialta a chur roimh na fóirne agus tá súil agam go mbeidh cluichí iontacha agus sportúla againn arís inniu. Today’s final is somewhat unusual in that we are all now living in a vastly changed world with only 200 Spectators attending the game - something unimaginable only a few short months ago. Notwithstanding this, and on behalf of all involved in Kerry CLG we extend a warm welcome to the patrons here today who were fortunate enough to get a ticket. I think it is fair to say that nobody in their wildest dreams would ever have countenanced such an extraordinary unfolding of events over the past seven months. The Garvey’s SuperValu Senior Hurling Final is always a unique day in Kerry’s hurling calendar and today is no different albeit with a substantially reduced crowd. It is a particularly special occasion for the Clubs and parishes involved – Causeway & Kilmoyley in the Senior Final and Tralee Parnells & Dr. Crokes in the Intermediate Final. Each Club comes here today in the confidence that they can win the senior or intermediate championship respectively for their clubs and parishes.

It is difficult for people to stay away from games particularly when it comes to the Garvey’s Senior Hurling Championship. However we have endeavoured to provide opportunities for you to support your team through the streaming initiative and social media updates. I want to wish the players and management from all four teams the very best this weekend. I am confident that the lack of supporters in the Stand or on the Terrace will in no way impact on your performance. Your focus will be to make the final and bring great joy and excitement to your respective parishes. It is a challenging situation but the GAA has risen to every challenge so far this year. We should be proud of ourselves and our clubs. I wish to sincerely thank the Garvey Group for their continued sponsorship of this great Championship. I wish to thank Ger O’Mahony and the team at Austin Stack Park for having the grounds in immaculate condition.

Tá súil agam go mbainfidh sibh an taitneamh as an cluiche Iomána seo inniu. I wish to extend a warm welcome to both sets of players, Management teams, officials and supporters in this the opening round of the Allianz National Hurling League Div 2A game here at Austin Stack Park Tralee. Down travel to Kerry today for the first competitive match of 2021 while Kerry’s last competitive match goes back to the Joe McDonagh Final in 2020. We look forward to a good game of hurling which will no doubt be a further step in the development of the game in Kerry. The compressed nature of this year’s competition means that injury and injury management for all teams will be a key consideration. A win for the home team today would set up the year nicely for this team who want to go another step further than last year. The level of certainty and continuity within Inter county senior hurling in Kerry has developed organically over the last three years and will provide stability and permanence which was needed in order for the game to advance in the County.
