SO you’ve seen the first episode of Sky Sports’ Jeff Stelling and Chris Kamara’s visit to Kerry where they arrived at Kerry Airport.
Now the lads make their way to Dingle where they get some commentating advice from the master, Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh. Watch it below…
THIS should be good craic.
Sky Sports soccer presenters Chris Kamara and Jeff Stelling are in Kerry for a special engagement out west.
The two lads also enjoyed a drink in Sean Og’s Pub on Bridge Street last night where they posed with locals for photos.
It’s part of a AIB sponsored tour of the country where the two lads will be immersed in the GAA.
They commentated on an Under 16 game in Dingle this afternoon between Dingle and the Gaeltacht in Páirc an Ághasaigh, apparently getting a bit of help from legendary GAA commentator Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh so that should be a good laugh. However funny it is, it’ll never match this clip involving Jeff and Chris…
DUE to a clash of matches, there is a chance Saturday week’s Munster Final replay between Kerry and Cork in Killarney may not be televised.
The Munster Council have announced a throw-in of 7pm, which is the same time Sky Sports are scheduled to show one of the Round 3B qualifiers.
RTE are interested in showing the Munster Final replay, but due to an agreement they have with Sky where both networks won’t show GAA matches at the same time puts screening the Kerry v Cork clash is in jeopardy.
Continued below…
It is reported that all parties are currently trying to come to an agreement, so all may not lost yet.
The reason for scheduling the match at 7pm is due to traffic issues. Both the Munster Council and Gardai want an evening throw-in to ensure people have plenty of time to get to the match.
If the match isn’t televised, this is expected to provide a big boost the attendance figures with fans hoping for a rematch as thrilling as the first game where over 35,000 paid in.
There also could be an issue with lighting. If, on Saturday week, it’s a dull day and the goes into extra-time, the fact that Fitzgerald Stadium does not have floodlight system could cause problems for players.
The Munster SFC Final replay between Cork & Kerry will take place on Saturday July 18th at 7pm at Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney
