'We were delighted. We put a lot into it'
That was an encouraging way for the season to end, coming back from ten points down?
Kerry strike back from ten down
David Mohan A stirring comeback saw Kerry's hurlers turn a 10-point deficit into a fully deserved four-point victory over Antrim at a sunny Cushendall in Saturday as Fintan O'Connor's side rounded off their Joe McDonagh Cup campaign in perfect style.
Pride and passion make for a compelling competition
As a competition it stands alone in terms of the passion and the rivalry which it generates, and with four different clubs having won it since 2013, choosing the eventual champions is never straight forward, given the many imponderable elements which are inbuilt in the competition.
Keane strikes late to seal title
Over the years Killarney Celtic have made a habit of rescuing or winning games with late goals and it was deja vu at Mouthawk Park on Friday evening when they were crowned Premier A Champions with an 89th minute goal clinching the game.
'We're capable of doing very well'
A long wait to get going is about to end! However, maybe it's the discussion about who can't be involved with the Kerry Under 20s in the revamped competition that has dominated the build-up with 2016 and 2017 All-Ireland Minor winning captains David Clifford and Seán O'Shea securing senior panel berths meaning they can't be involved in this Under 20 campaign at any stage.
League form points to a Kilmoyley win
Damian Stack While Sunday's clash between Causeway and St Brendans is probably the pick of the first round bunch, Saturday's clash between Kilmoyley and Lixnaw goes pretty close in terms of interest and excitement.
Ballyduff's firepower to see them through
Damian Stack Here we go again, for the second year in succession Abbeydorney and Ballyduff meet in the first round of the championship.
Crotta should have too much for Ballyheigue
Damian Stack Probably neither side would have been too disappointed when the other was drawn from the hat to face them.
High-flying Causeway are slight favourites
Damian Stack This is probably the pick of the bunch so the fixtures planners were saving the best 'til last.
