    As it stands, it cannot be financially viable for Tralee right?

    It's not financially viable for half the teams in the League already so I can't see why Tralee wouldn't give it a go at least.

    There's no better time for them to join the league if you ask me. They'd be potentially joining with 3 or 4 more clubs.

    They surely won't be rejected now as a 7 team first division is an absolute joke. The league needs a further geographical spread of teams and so a team from Tralee would be welcomed .

    As well as the finances, Tralee would of course be at the top of the Kerry soccer pyramid if accepted, so if they are serious about giving licensing a second shot, they have to make sure they've a realistic long-term plan, even if in real terms, all clubs will be trying to survive on a weekly basis.

    Hmm, doesn't appear as though Dynamos have held any meeting, or if they did, no details were released - when is the deadline for clubs to make a final decision?

    Interview with Maurice O'Rahilly of Tralee Dynamos in today's Kerry's Eye - basically says that the club were frustrated with how the whole application process finished in the spring, and that they're focused on returning to the Kerry top flight, so that pretty much confirms they haven't applied this year.

    What's the status of the LoI First Division now? Is it capped at 8 clubs for the foreseeable future or are potential new clubs welcome to apply every year?

    Goddamit man, don't you know, this is the League of Ireland. We'll need a few new teams again yet.

    I'd imagine the FAI want to get back to 10 First Division teams if at all possible, but as for Kerry, you basically need some independent group following Cork and GUST's lead, before then getting everyone in Kerry soccer round the table. And even if that long shot came off, you need someone with sufficient clout to convince the general public to subscribe to the project. It all sounds very pie-in-the-sky, I'll admit, but no-one seems willing to break the current stalemate.

    Yeah, it's a shame really. With the way the game has progressed in the county, it's a pity there is not a club for the county on the national stage to promote the game more.

    For now Dynamos seem to be doing the right thing to focus on the KDL.

    "Capped" implies the number could go up as well as down. We only go one direction in this league.

    Have you been following the reports of the FAI setting up a Connaught Senior League? An Ulster Senior League either has been set-up or is in the process of being set-up as well!

    Dynamos will have some grounds to be frustrated at this. The Munster Senior League is effectively the Cork Senior League. It's surprising really that there is'nt an intermediate league with one or two clubs from each of Limerick, Waterford, Tipperary, Clare and Kerry along the lines of a Munster District League or something like that. Throw in a one or two reserve sides from the provinces LoI teams and you'd be looking at a 10-12 team league. With the A Championship vanished and LoI football being fallacy, it would seem the only way forward?

    Oh right. What was the story with Sligo Rovers being approached to field a reserve side in it?

    The league was short of teams so they asked Harps and Sligo to join. Harps have done so. Unfortunately they lost another club in the mean time as Buncrana Hearts had to withdraw citing a number of players emigrating or at college and unavailable.

    Limerick's top junior clubs have zero interest in a Munster Senior League.
    The ball is round and has many surprises.

    I'd imagine most clubs are happy as they are. The intermediate leagues aren't run much better than the senior leagues here.

    The whole football system from top to bottom needs re-worked in this country.

    If clubs are happy where they are, is there a need for the system to be re-worked? I was musing over whether a CSL type league was possible in Munster aside from the Cork centric Munster Senior League. If what sadloserkid says it the case, that answers that.

    Not to mention that neither Dynamos nor Killarney Celtic will have pleasant memories of their last spell in the MSL - granted, a structure similar to that proposed in Connacht would be radically different, but it's strange that Tralee seemed to adjust better to national football than provincial level.
