Poor match in the park. Carrickshock by far the better team. How Tullogher managed to get this far is hard to fathom. Heavily reliant on Wally they were woefully deficient in the forwards. They were given a lifeline when Tennyson got the line for a pull on Wallys head halfway through the second half. Their inability to capitalise was characterised by two scores they conceded from quick frees to unmarked Shock players.
Rice was the best player on the pitch. Very impressive with great energy. Wally was very involved all game with some good moments. He was also heavily outnumbered at times. John Power wasn't as prominent as you'd expect for a player of his calibre. Richie was brought on early in the second half and got on some good ball. As per the semi final, if he'd somebody running off his shoulder Shock could've gone to town.

6 pts in a county final is completely shocking. How did they beat Glenmore?

How many from play?

2 from play according to an earlier report from Twitter.

1 from Wally Walsh and the other from a lad called Liam Barron.

Wally was playing in the backs for most of the first half .
Only moved centre forward in the 2nd .

Not great over 60+ mins in fairness. You'll not win many games with a point every 30mins from play.

Is Tennyson banned for the game against Kilteale now? If so that's going to be a very tough game for Carrickshock on Saturday week in Trim.

Yea tennyson will be a big loss kilteale really put it up to the bridge last year.They beat the wexford champions easy enough at the weekend so they'll certainly fancy their chances.

Played them off the field, that's how.

But they had a complete meltdown in the final. It was their first ever intermediate final, and they just couldn't handle the occasion in any way, played no-where near what they're capable of playing to be honest. Absolutely bottled the occasion.

Sad that when they had their chance to play in a final they never turned up at all because they've been a good intermediate team the last few years.

Heard there will be changes to the Kilkenny management for 2017. James McGarry is gone and there could be additional changes as well.

minty81 · 07-11-2016 10:58PM

Dempsey gone too i heard?
Any word on replacements?

Heard Dempsey was gone a couple of weeks ago alright, but the McGarry one is news to me.

dastardly00 · 08-11-2016 12:12AM

Maybe those changes are exactly what we need.

Although Mick Dempsey is a legend by all accounts.

The rumours of the selectors and michael dempsey finishing have being circling the county for a few weeks.Michael in particular will be a huge blow to the players.he had them peaking at the right time for over a decade.He will be a huge loss if it's true

He will be a huge loss especially with his knowledge of the game, wonder who could replace him? Any word on who may be cut from the team and call ups? Seen dublin hurlers could some big names this week.

Canice Maher has been called up to the Dublin panel.

Rumours of changes to both Kilkenny minors and under 21 set ups also...

I've heard pat hoban stepped down from a few people.when are the managers and selectors usually appointed?cody usually confirms his appointment around this time of the year

A very quick Google throws up these dates for when previous reappointments were announced to the media: 10 Nov 2015, 14 Nov 2011, 10 Nov 2009.

So based on that trend it should be announced during the next week or so.

Cornerback1 · 08-11-2016 09:43PM

Just a quick question - Do these lads 'go' themselves or are they asked to move on? Just wondering is it a root and branch change and who will come in.

As someone else said, MD has the lads at the top level for so long and he knows the players best.

On the all stars felt chin should have got 1 instead of bonner maher.the rest was straightforward imo.

That comes as a huge shock, and you have always been such a big fan of the Bonner

Well he only really marked him directly in 2014 from what i recall and yes he won the battle that day and kept Tipp's biggest threat from the drawn game out but he also got brilliant support from his teammates in terms of being able to crowd out Bonnar and mop up the breaks likewise Bonner got brilliant support from his teammates back in September when putting Joyce under pressure. There is no doubting Joyce is a super player but he was swamped in the final.

For you to say Lee Chin should have got the All star over Bonnar is beyond strange to be honest. Bonnar was part of a team who beat all around them (granted the only instance victory was in doubt was versus Galway)

I am giving a honest opinion.I felt chins performances for wexford were outstanding.his performance v cork was better than anything produced by bonner this season.as for the final he scored 2pts out of 2-29.hardly ripped it up.

Your dislike of Maher and your inability to recognise his skills is pretty embarrassing to be honest.

Dont dislike him.just feel he is overated. Scored 2pts in the final and didnt score at all in the semi v galway and only got 1pt v waterford in the munster final.all high scoring games and he got a total of 3pts.must be lowest scoring forward all star ever.

It isnt as simple as what he scores. Bonnar was never a high scorer. Bonnar wins ball and opens up the attack. Walter Walsh doesnt always shoot the lights out but there is no doubt he is very very useful.

Its not all about scoring. Its about making them every bit as much.

He got a goal in the final v Clare as far as I remember. I think it was Shefflin that squared a ball from under the Cusack and Comerford got a slight touch to direct it past Davy Fitz.

There's a county board meeting next Monday night where 2017 management teams are being ratified, doubt there will be an announcement before then

Chin won ball made scores and took them.he went to the all stars instead of playing for wexford youths because he thought he was in with a shout of a all star.my original point was he did more than bonner imo to warrant one.I dont have anything against bonner .he does a job for tipp but we are talking about the all star selections.
