Richie leahy must still have the hamstring complaint.
Nice to see lester and Pat lyng back on the panel. Bergin getting on the panel for the 1st time this year.
Will need big effort to come away with a win but we are well capable

Lads can someone tell me what conor martin gives to the team.he has had plenty of chances but I just dont see what he adds.

I don't know really either what he adds... But i wouldn't say that he's had loads of chances... Played the full game against Cork and a couple of minutes against Waterford at the end of the match.

Definitely lucky to be near the panel let alone team but who are we to judge the management they seem to like him so it's hard to complain.
Conor delaney and sean morrissey drop out of the match squad
Aylward,lennon,leahy,kevin kelly,richie reid must be all still injured
I'm suprised there's only one change from the tipp match but with such a good performance the last day maybe I shouldn't be suprised.
It's good to see lester,lyng and bergin return from injury

**** off you idiot

What's wrong frank?

Didn't expect conor martin to get a start tomorrow but he must be making an impression in training. Would not be surprised if bergin got a run in the half or full forward line at some stage.
Pat lyng may also figure at some stage along with James maher

It should be a good battle tomorrow. All to play for in Div. 1A. Important to get the 2 points and show the same hunger as in Thurles. Good to see Lester back on the bench.

Another game for Cleere, Conor and Deegan will do them the world of good. Hopefully we get more from the other forwards outwith T.J. and Richie.

Should be a decent crowd also if the weather keeps good. Is it on TG4?

Templemore 1pt down at half-time in Thurles. They got a goal right on half time although Templemore looking decent.

This match is some goal festival. Kierans full back line has been very porous. McGrath has been great for templemore. Very impressed with mullen for us.

Hard luck to kierans and well done templemore

Very entertaining match I thought, better team won, they should have been further ahead at half time but we had a knack for getting goals at crucial times. Was it Brennan put that goal in from about a five degree angle into the top corner? If a player did it at senior inter county they'd be collecting an all star that winter.

Just to get a bit of a moan in, TG4 have been great for the gaa, but to show a run of the mill rugby match instead of the principal schools hurling match of the year is a bit dissapointing.

Seen a few clips ciarian brennan looks a lovely hurler think his only 16 but will probably end up going to play soccer.
Mullen didn't have his best day according to kclr he missed a few frees but a great effort from Kierans and templemore were the better team.Them Kierans lads will have good days in the future.Is mullen minor next year?

I knew he was captain this year just wondering is he underage nxt year...I think the minors playing Westmeath on the 8th of april in the first round.hopefully the minors have a better year than last year

They were showing it online in fairness.
Great game of hurling I thought, commiserations to Kierans

Yeah, thats why I said it was a moan, just think it was much better viewing than a half hearted rugby match

Fair play to templemore, id imagine this is their best team ever but despite some negative commentary over recent years Kierans continue to be major contributors to Kilkenny hurling, and I say that as somebody who went to the tech in Kilkenny city
