It was a rather low key start to the Kerry Club Football Championships over the Bank Holiday Weekend in the wake of the county’s All-Ireland SFC title win the previous Sunday.
No matches involving players on the Kerry senior panel took place as only one Intermediate match went ahead that being the meeting of East Kerry sides Kilcummin and Firies on Saturday evening in Fitzgerald Stadium. Firies were making their Intermediate debut as last year’s Junior Premier winners in the county and made a good start in going into a 0-6 to 0-3 lead after 10 minutes. Firies missed a scoreable free to go further ahead though as Kilcummin got motoring in the second quarter through Paul O’Shea.
