The Ulster champions’ county board said that it could not field a side after receiving expert medical opinion on the health of their players.

There has been a Covid outbreak in the setup that has caused the county to play without some players n the Ulster Senior Football Championship and the game to be rescheduled once previously.

The updated schedule also sees the All-Ireland get pushed back another week to Sunday, September 11th.

The winner of the semi-final between the Munster and Ulster champions will face Mayo in the final after they beat defending champions Dublin in extra time in their semi-final.

The GAA say the revised schedule has been finalised with the integrity of the championship in mind and to ensure that Kerry were not denied a semi-final outing.

Tyrone’s county board have welcomed the decision made by the CCCC to postpone their fixture for a second time.

Rachaidh Baile Átha Cliath ceann ar cheann le Maigh Eo í bPáirc a Chrócaigh í mBaile Átha Cliath ar 14 Lúnasa ag 6.00in sa chéad bhabhta leathcheannais den Chraobh Peile Sinsearach Uile-Éireann beo ar RTÉ.

Cluichí Cúige

Tá an dá fhoireann ag teacht isteach sa chluiche seo, ag buachan a dteidil cúige.

Tháinig Maigh Eo ar ais ó chéad leath neamhleor i gcoinne na Gaillimhe i gcluiche ceannais Chonnacht chun teideal Chonnacht eile a bhuachan le scórlíne 2-14 (20) go 2-08 (14).

Ar an láimh eile, d’ardaigh Baile Átha Cliath a 11ú as a chéile trófaí Laighean tar éis dóibh Cill Dara a bhualadh 0-20 (20) go 1-09 (12) i bPáirc an Chrócaigh.

Anois, beidh Craobh Peile Sinsearach na hÉireann (Baile Átha Cliath v Maigh Eo) ina gcéad bhabhta leathcheannais d’Fheachtas Craobh 2021.

Maigh Eo an séasúr seo

Ag féachaint ar léirithe an dá fhoireann san fheachtas seo, d’fhéach Maigh Eo ar an taobh níos fearr ar an iomlán.

Le linn a bhfeachtais sraithe, bhí Maigh Eo ar an mbarr, tar éis dóibh atógáil a dhéanamh. Phreab siad ar ais go Roinn 1 i stíl.

Sula mbuaileann siad le Sligeach agus Liatroim ar a beach chun aghaidh a thabhairt ar Ghaillimh.

Le linn an chéad leath dá gcluiche i gcoinne na Gaillimhe, d’fhéach Maigh Eo as áit ar feadh cuid mhaith den chéad 30 nóiméad.

Chomh luath agus a thosaigh an dara leath, tháinig siad amach le cluiche reatha gan staonadh, beart daingean, le Padraig O ‘Hora agus Aidan O’Shea ag déanamh trí láimhdeachas eisceachtúla.

Thaispeáin an cluiche féin Maigh Eo ar a ndícheall agus is measa ag breathnú níos mó agus níos mó cosúil le foireann sa dara leath.

Tháinig athrú suntasach ar imeachtaí, áfach, tar éis an tsosa. Tháinig Maigh Eo amach agus bhuail siad Gaillimh ar neamhní a n-ionsaí, choinnigh siad gan scór iad go dtí an 61ú nóiméad saor.

Bhí cuma láidir ar a líne tosaigh, le Ryan O’Donoghue ag seasamh amach. Ag Scóráil 1-03.

Níor bhuail Maigh Eo Baile Átha Cliath ó 2012, i gcluiche leathcheannais na hÉireann.

Ó shin i leith, thug siad aghaidh ar Bhaile Átha Cliath in 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019 agus 2020.

Chaill siad ceithre chluiche ceannais Uile-Éireann agus dhá chluiche leathcheannais, agus tarraingtí dhá cheann acu.

Bhí na cluichí go léir an-dlúth, agus i mbabhtaí ceannais 2016 agus 2017, tháinig Maigh Eo gar do Bhaile Átha Cliath a bhualadh.

Tionóladh siad a gcruinniú deireanach i gcluiche ceannais Uile-Éireann 2020 ar ais i mí na Nollag, áit ar chaill siad le foireann i bhfad níos fearr i mBaile Átha Cliath.

Baile Átha Cliath an séasúr seo

Go dtí an séasúr seo, bhí cuma an-neamh ar Bhaile Átha Cliath ar Bhaile Átha Cliath. Ar fud Laighean, d’éalaigh siad go cúng.

Cé gur bhuaigh siad a gcluiche i gcoinne Loch Garman, coinníodh gan sprioc iad, gan ach 8 bpointe buaite acu (an corrlach a scóráil is ísle i gcluiche i mBaile Átha Cliath i gCúige Laighean le blianta).

I gcluiche ceannais Laighean, d’fhéach Baile Átha Cliath te agus fuar i gcoinne Chill Dara. Bhí an ráithe tosaigh anonn is anall, agus na Lilywhites i mbun conspóide i rith an chéad leath.

Mar sin féin, tháinig taithí agus folláine na Dubs chun iad a fháil thar an líne.

Tá taobh Dessie Farrell buailte go mór le gortuithe agus le scor le séasúir anuas.

D’fhág go leor d’imreoirí tionchair Bhaile Átha Cliath an painéal an séasúr seo, Cian O’Sullivan, Eric Lowndes, Paul Mannion, Paddy Andrews agus b’fhéidir Stephen Cluxton,ag fágáil poll ollmhór sa phainéal.

Tá imreoirí eile cosúil le Ciaran Kilkenny, Philly McMahon, James McCarthy, Jonny Cooper agus Dean Rock ag dul í dtreo dheireadh a ngairmeacha bheatha.

Láidreachtaí agus Laigí

Cosúil le go leor uaireanta roimhe seo i bPáirc an Chrócaigh, ghéill Maigh Eo 2 chúilín ó Shane Walsh agus Damien Comer i gCluiche Ceannais Chonnacht.

Tá sé seo tábhachtach mar, i gcoinne Bhaile Átha Cliath, chaill siad a gcluichí móra go léir mar gheall ar spriocanna neamhriachtanacha a sceitheadh.

Bhí Maigh Eo ceithre phointe chun tosaigh in 2015, sa trajectory le haghaidh bua agus ag géilleadh 3 phointe i gceann 15 nóiméad

In 2016, nuair a thit an liathróid ón gcúl báire Robbie Hennelly, tugadh pionós do Bhaile Átha Cliath. Agus an sprioc an difríocht.

In 2017 rith Con O’Callaghan díreach trí chosaint Mhaigh Eo sa nóiméad tosaigh chun sliotán abhaile, rud a d’fhág go gcaillfeadh Maigh Eo pointe arís.

Scóráil Dean Rock an sprioc is gasta i stair dheiridh na hÉireann ag 13 soicind i gcluiche ceannais Uile-Éireann na bliana seo caite, ag marú an chluiche sular thosaigh sé fiú.

Tá go leor déanta de bhinse Bhaile Átha Cliath chomh déanach, le hiar-bhainisteoir Chiarraí Eamonn Fitzmaurice ag ceistiú an bhfuil binse Bhaile Átha Cliath cumasach go leor.

Is é an rud a bhuaigh Baile Átha Cliath an oiread sin ar fud na hÉireann le 10 mbliana anuas ná an leibhéal cáilíochta atá ag teacht ón mbinse, cosúil leis na deartháireacha Alan agus Bernard Brogan agus Cormac Costello.

Conclúid

Ag iarraidh fanacht chomh neamhchlaonta agus is féidir, creidim go sáróidh Maigh Eo a nemesis sa deireadh, juggernaut Bhaile Átha Cliath.

Beidh roghnú foirne Mhaigh Eo tábhachtach, má imscaradh James Horan Aidan O’Shea i lár na páirce, rithfidh Brian Fenton agus James McCarthy isteach sa talamh é.

Is imreoir lár páirce iontach é O’Shea, ach tá a cháilíochtaí sa líne Full-Forward, áit a bhfuil sé ina núis sa liathróid ard agus ar cheann de na cáilíochtaí is fearr atá aige.

Má thosaíonn captaen Mhaigh Eo chun tosaigh, ba bhreá liom a sheans a fheiceáil i gcoinne Jonny Cooper agus a fhoireann.

Ar an iomlán, tá foireann níos láidre ag Baile Átha Cliath, ach níor fhéach siad ar a ngnáthshéasúr an séasúr seo.

Ó na cluichí a bhí acu roimhe seo, ba iad Maigh Eo an t-aon fhoireann a d’fhéadfadh neart na Dubs a mheaitseáil le neart.

Is féidir leis dul ar bhealach ar bith agus is é Baile Átha Cliath na Favorites. Mar sin féin, tá Maigh Eo ag cur deireadh le rith Bhaile Átha Cliath.

Cluichí Cúige

Rachaidh Ciarraí ceann ar cheann le hiomaitheoirí Uladh Thír Eoghain i bPáirc an Chrócaigh i mBaile Átha Cliath ar an 15 Lúnasa ag 3.30 in sa dara cluiche leathcheannais de Chraobh Peile Sinsearach na hÉireann a thaispeántar beo ar RTÉ.

Cluichí Cúige

Tá an dá fhoireann ag teacht isteach sa chluiche seo, ag buachan a dteidil cúige.

Throid Tír Eoghain go crua i gcluiche dlúth i gcoinne Mhuineacháin chun a gcéad teideal Uladh a éileamh ó 2017, agus bhuaigh siad an Corn Angla-Cheilteach le scórlíne 0-16 go 0-15, ag cur an dara háit le Muineachán ag 16 teideal Uladh.

D’éiligh Ciarraí Corn na Mumhan le bua thar Corcaigh i gCill Airne le bua 4-22 (34) go 1-09 (12).

Agus an Ríocht ag éileamh a 82ú teideal cúige agus 16ú Corn na Mumhan ó 2000.

Beidh Craobh Peile Sinsearach Uile-Éireann (Ciarraí v Tír Eoghain) sa dara cluiche leathcheannais d’fheachtas Chraobh 2021.

Ciarraí an séasúr seo

Ó cuireadh tús le feachtas Allianz League, tá an Ríocht tar éis breathnú agus imirt mar an bhfoireann is fearr sa tír.

Ag roinnt teideal na sraithe le Baile Átha Cliath, gan cur chun cinn sa phróiseas.

Le linn dóibh éalú ó Chúige Mumhan, bhuaigh siad go héasca ar Clare sna babhtaí ceathrú ceannais, ag buachan 3-22 (31) go 1-11 (14). Cluiche a chonaic Seán O’Shea (1-07) agus David Clifford (1-06) círéib.

Sháraigh siad Tiobraid Árann sna babhtaí leathcheannais le scór 1-19 (22) go 1-08 (11) sular díchóimeáil siad Corcaigh.

Tabharfaidh siad aghaidh ar shean-iomaitheoirí Thír Eoghain ar an 15 Lúnasa chun a fháil amach cé a dhéanfaidh cluiche ceannais na hÉireann.

Ba é cluiche ceannais leathcheannais Roinn 1 Sraith Peile Allianz an uair dheireanach a thug an bheirt seo aghaidh ar a chéile nuair a scartáil Ciarraí Tír Eoghain i gCill Airne.

A dteideal sraithe a choinneáil le scórlíne 6-15 (33) go 1-14 (17).

Tír Eoghain an séasúr seo

Ag tús fheachtas na bliana seo, bhí cuma ar Thír Eoghain ar neamhní foirne a bhí ar neamhní, ag rith folamh.

Ag críochnú sa dara háit ina ngrúpa.

Tá scóráil iomlán 4-72 (84) do chontae cosúil le Tír Eoghain go dona i dtírdhreach peile an lae inniu.

Cosanta, ghéill siad 8-57 (81).

Ní rabhthas ag súil le mórán ó Thír Eoghain faoin am a tháinig cluiche ceannais Uladh thart.

Sna cluichí ceathrú ceannais, bhuaigh siad Seaimpíní Uladh ar an gCabhán.

Faoin am a tháinig cluiche leathcheannais Uladh thart, bhí pundits agus lucht leanúna ag gáire le Tír Eoghain.

Dumpáladh Dún na nGall as an gcraobh, áfach, le feidhmíocht a spreag The Red Hand County, ag buachan 0-23 (23) go 1-14 (17) chun cluiche ceannais Uladh a bhunú le Muineachán.

Ag glacadh a 16ú teideal sa phróiseas.

Láidreachtaí agus Laigí

Tá cuid de na buanna is fearr ar fáil ag an mbainisteoir Peter Keane mar bhainisteoir Chiarraí.

Is féidir a rá go bhfuil sé ar bharr na n-imreoirí óga is fearr sa tír a raibh anáil an aeir úr acu sa chontae a chuaigh trí aistriú tar éis do roinnt imreoirí veteranacha imeacht.

Tá David Clifford ar cheann de na cinn is fearr sa tír agus ag 22 bliana d’aois, tá 3 theideal na Mumhan agus dhá All-Stars aige cheana féin.

Ar an iomlán, is é príomh-neart Chiarraí a bpríomhfhoireann le himreoirí mar Stephen O’Brien, Paul Geaney agus Paudie Clifford ag barr a gcluiche agus le méadú na réalta Sean O’Shea, beidh siad ina n-iomaitheoirí láidre go ceann blianta. teacht.

Tá lár na páirce láidir ag na bainisteoirí Feargal Logan agus Brian Dooher mar chroílár a gcuid foirne, agus is é Mattie Donnelly príomhfhócas a scuad.

Gan Donnelly, is beag béim a bheidh ar an taobh seo de Thír Eoghain mar iomaitheoirí móra.

Má tá imreoirí atá ag filleadh ar nós Conor McShane agus Conor McKenna oiriúnach go leor chun tosú, cuirfidh siad cosaint Chiarraí faoi bhrú.

Conclúid

Go luath sna 2000idí, ní raibh cluichí níos mó ann ná Ciarraí v Tír Eoghain.

Nuair a thug siad aghaidh ar a chéile, bhí siad os coinne. Tá idé-eolaíochtaí peile éagsúla acu, le Ciarraí ag imirt peile ag ionsaí le himreoirí oilte.

Cé gur imir Tír Eoghain peil dhiúltach, ba throid chrua agus an chosaint blaincéad a chuir go leor foirne i bhfeidhm tar éis do Thír Eoghain é a dhéanamh foirfe.

Ó 2003 go 2008, d’imir siad. Rialaigh Ciarraí Tír Eoghain.

B’fhéidir go bhfuil go leor ag díospóireacht cé a bhí mar “fhoireann na ndeich mbliana” nár bhuail Ciarraí Tír Eoghain i gcluiche ceannais ag an am sin.

Ag breathnú siar ar an dá thaobh ina iomláine anois, tá Ciarraí i bhfad níos láidre i ngach rannán, níos láidre faoi ionsaí, níos mó éagsúlachta ina gcuid roghanna scórála, cé gur féidir le Tír Eoghain a gcosaint a ghortú.

Tá an móiminteam ag Ciarraí agus ag dul tríd na 3 chluiche craobhchomórtais a bhí acu roimhe seo, bhuaigh Ciarraí ar Thír Eoghain, in 2012, 2015 agus 2019, agus ba bhabhtaí leathcheannais dhá cheann acu.

NOTE: THIS GAME HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK TO AN UNCONFIRMED DATE DUE TO COVID-19 FEARS

Kerry will go head to head with Ulster rivals Tyrone at Croke Park in Dublin on the 28th of August at 3.30 pm in the second All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-final shown live on RTÉ.

The game was scheduled for the 15th of August, but due to high covid numbers in the Tyrone panel, the game was pushed back to the 28th of August.

Provincial Outings

Both teams are coming into this game, winning their provincial titles.

Tyrone fought hard in a thrilling and close-knit affair against Monaghan to claim their first Ulster title since 2017, winning the Anglo-Celt Cup with a 0-16 to 0-15 scoreline, putting them joint second with Monaghan on 16 Ulster titles.

All-Ireland challengers Kerry re-claimed the Munster Cup with a demolition job of old rivals Cork in Killarney with a 4-22 (34) to 1-09 (12) victory.

With the Kingdom claiming their 82nd provincial title and their 16th Munster Cup since 2000.

Now, The All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (Kerry v Tyrone) will be the second semi-final of the 2021 Championship campaign.

Kerry Retrospective

Since the start of the Allianz League campaign, the Kingdom has looked and played like the best team in the country.

Sharing the league title with Dublin, remaining unbeaten in the process.

During their Munster escapades, they defeated Clare in the quarter-finals easily, winning 3-22 (31) to 1-11 (14). A match that saw Sean O’Shea (1-07) and David Clifford (1-06) run riot.

They overcame Tipperary in the semi-finals with a score of 1-19 (22) to 1-08 (11) before dismantling Cork.

They face off against old rivals Tyrone on the 15th of August to determine who will make the All-Ireland final.

The last time these two faced off with one another was in the Allianz Football League Division 1 semi-final where Kerry demolished Tyrone in Killarney.

Retaining their league title with a scoreline of 6-15 (33) to 1-14 (17).

Tyrone Retrospective

At the start of this years campaign, Tyrone looked like a team void of idea’s, running on empty and in desperate need of a facelift.

Finishing second in their group, but, looking unconvincing throughout.

Scoring a combined total of 4-72 (84) for a county like Tyrone is relatively poor in today’s football landscape.

Defensively, they conceded 8-57 (81).

Not much was expected from Tyrone by the time the Ulster championship came around.

In the quarter-finals, they defeated reigning Ulster champions, Cavan.

By the time the Ulster semi-final came around, pundits and fans alike already had Donegal steamrolling Tyrone.

However, Donegal was dumped out of the championship with a motivated performance by The Red Hand County, winning 0-23 (23) to 1-14 (17) to set up an Ulster final clash with Monaghan.

Capturing their 16th title in the process.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Manager Peter Keane has some of the best talents at his disposal as Kerry manager.

Arguably boasting the best young crop of players in the country that have been a breath of fresh air to the county that went through a transitional period after some veteran players departed in recent years.

Full-forward David Clifford is one of the best forwards in the country and at the age of 22, he already has 3 Munster titles and two All-Stars to his name.

All in all, Kerry’s main strength is the starting 15, players such as Stephen O’Brien, Paul Geaney and Paudie Clifford are on top of their game and with the rise of star Seán O’Shea, they will be strong contenders for years to come.

Managers Feargal Logan and Brian Dooher have a strong midfield as the core of their team, while Mattie Donnelly is the main focus of their squad.

Without Donnelly, not much emphasis will be put on this Tyrone side as major contenders.

If returning players such as Conor McShane and Conor McKenna are fit enough to start, they will cause problems for a leaky Kerry defence.

Conclusion

Throughout the early 2000s, there was no greater rivalry than Kerry v Tyrone.

When they faced off against one another, they were the total opposite of each other. Boasting different football ideologies, with Kerry being the free-flowing, skilful and attacking team that everyone admired.

Mickey Harte’s Tyrone side was lambasted for their negative style, hard tackling and the infamous ”blanket defence” that many teams implemented after Tyrone perfected it.

From 2003 to 2008, they faced off in three All-Ireland finals, with Tyrone prevailing in each one.

Debated by many on who were the ”team of decade” Kerry may have not beaten them in a final but they did accomplish consecutive All-Ireland wins on more than one occasion, unlike Tyrone.

History does mean something when it comes to this fixture, for years, Tyrone, under Mickey Harte was Kerry’s bogey team. Tyrone were to Kerry, to what Kerry was to Cork during that era.

Looking back on the two sides overall now, Kerry is much stronger in all departments, stronger in attack, more variety in their scoring options, while Tyrone can get at their full-backs, and will have much to prove after their league encounter, Kerry is just superior.

Pyscholigally, Kerry have the momentum and going by their past 3 championship encounters, Kerry has defeated Tyrone, in 2012, 2015 and 201, two of which were semi-finals.

The winner will face off against Mayo on September 11th 2021

Ulster champions Tyrone announced on Saturday that ”a number of players” within the team are self-isolating due to a strain.

Players who got tested for Covid-19 are awaiting test results.

It has been reported that Tyrone GAA is working alongside the Public Health Authority (PHA) with Croke Park representatives confirming that testing, and if needed, re-testing of players and backroom staff will take place.

Tyrone hit with further Covid complications. Breaking news: https://t.co/Jj1jNM6ZLw #GAA

— John Fogarty (@JohnFogartyIrl) August 7, 2021

There were a number of squad withdrawals before Tyrone’s Ulster final win over Monaghan a little over a week ago.

Shortly after, the Tyrone county board decided to have all panellists and management tested for Covid-19.

With much media speculation of further cases and the possible threat of Tyrone’s All-Ireland semi-final clash with Kerry being moved back.

Tyrone GAA released a statement confirming that all members of the playing panel and mentors have been tested and are awaiting results.

”Further to a number of positive Covid19 tests with members of the Tyrone senior football panel and management, prior to last weekend’s successful Ulster Championship final in Croke Park, it was decided to have all panellists and management tested for the virus.

While outcomes from these tests are awaited a number of players are self-isolating; it is anticipated that all outcomes will be known by Monday and preparations can then be made for the forthcoming All-Ireland semi-final with Kerry.

During the past week, Tyrone GAA has continued to comply, fully, with the guidelines and directives that have been issued by the Public Health Authority and by Croke Park.”

Were the Kerry match to be rescheduled, it would have a knock-on effect for the remainder of the championship season. A deferred semi-final fixture could be played a day ahead of the All-Ireland hurling final (set for 22nd August).
