I was wondering last week why duggan wasn't on the goal for the boro,I know today,3 brilliant saves from holohan

FCIM · 15-10-2017 05:06PM

It is worrying for Kilkenny when the senior semis are that awful.

Dicksboro 1-14 O'Loughlins 0-14

Realt Dearg Sec · 15-10-2017 05:13PM

Thanks for all the updates lads. Worrying to hear the standard is lot, but as a boro man that is just an absolutely eye watering exciting county final match up. Will be a huge occasion for both clubs.

Don't agree that the matches were as bad as some people are making out.

Second one was, understandably, a tense enough affair. O'Loughlins were poor, but if it wasn't for an absolute wonder save they might just have got over the line. You'd think Brian Hogan might call time on things now, he was woeful. Mark Kelly was worse. Dicksboro had fine performers in Evan Cody, Conor Doheny and Shane Stapleton who landed some crucial frees and stood up to be counted when required.

Ballyhale weren't great. They had plenty of warning signs in the first half with The Village slicing them open a number of times and getting nothing from it. Totally changed in the second half, Davy Walton gave a tremendous pass to Eoin Larkin for a well taken goal and The Village had a real purple patch for the next 10-15 minutes. Tadhgh Dwyer took his two goals excellently and during this period Luke Scanlon started to dominate around the middle.

Couldn't call the final to be honest, it'll be whoever performs best on the day. Very little between the teams.

brookville · 15-10-2017 08:15PM

Mark bergin was lively today but agree with the kelly comment he made a mess of a tap in after bergin done well,I thought holohan made a few brillant saves and if one of these went in who knows what could of happened
While alot of lads giving out bout the ballyhale full back line today the fowards will have to take some of the blame,4 points in the 2nd half is a terrible return

Good st pats of palmerstown.man helping out the boro.

Luke Scanlon excellent second half performance when moved to midfield. Thought Jackie did an excellent man marking job on TJ Reid throughout the game. Complete nullified him.

You obviously missed that little pirouette in the first half. Probably score of the year. Jackie got a reminder of what it's like to mark a top inter county hurler today.

Village87 · 16-10-2017 08:43AM

Great win yesterday, Shamrocks completely folded in the 2nd half. things dont look good in there camp, they didn't seem to work hard enough and wanted give out to each other when things were going wrong. People talking of Richie Reid at Inter County level, he was way off the pace yesterday, not fast, imposing or aggressive enough, great strike of the ball though, Joey Holden way off too. TJ looks to have lost a bit of pace, struggled to get away from Jackie and he is 31 next year. Colin is off on his travels soon, he will need plenty of hurling when he is back.

Happy to be in final after fears of relegation only a few weeks back, Big under dogs for the final as Boro are undefeated all year and Shamrocks terrible display yesterday.

The Ballyhale management have alot to answer for here in my opinion. The village came out all guns blazing second half and Ballyhale made no attempt to counter act and just assumed as usual the fire power up front would dig them out again.

Think your a bit harsh on Richie Reid. He got on a good bit of ball and always looked to find a spare man. Probably not physically dominant enough for inter county at centre back but definitely see him doing a job at wing back or if we ever play a team that uses a sweeper he be ideal man to operate as the kk spare man. I
Was really dissapointed with Adrian Mullen and to be honest bar a few nice scores in one or two games he defintekynno where near ready for senior county. He has serious skill and potential but I have a serious disliking for his work rate and demeanour on the pitch

I agree things didn't seem all that right in the ballyhale camp and a change probably needed.
I wouldn't be too critical of adrian mullen he has a lot to learn but still only 17 it'll take time.He does seem a bit greedy
Luke scanlon has being very good in the last 2 games,it's good that he got the u21 match out of his system.he could make it on the half back line if he bulks up.
I thought richie reid struck a good bit of ball but just wasn't as effective as the last 2 days.I still think he could be as good as conor o shea or joe lyng both who played league this year.Darragh holohan was excellent for the boro yesterday

Very honest from dj,I hope it goes well for him,his son mikey looks a good prospect,I heard richie power and nigel skehan will be part of his backroom team

Just a question for boroman where have lads like enda malone,oisin walsh and shane maher gone?none of the 3 on the panel yesterday,I think malone played junior,surely his good enough to tog out for senior

minty81 · 16-10-2017 06:50PM

Who would the village put forward as captain if they win?

They were all around at the start of the year and hurling wise they all have it. I'm fairly sure they all had some form of injury last year or earlier this year. I don't think any of them got to the new higher required level of fitness the new management were looking for.

I'm fairly sure some lads lost their place on the team at different times from not turning up to training or matches without giving management the proper and agreed upon notice. Very impressed with the management team and the difference they have made with the players both physically and mentally.

Who's involved?mark dowling is manager I think,who else is there?who would the boro lads like to see called to the county set up?cody is improving,is robbie fitzpatrick good enough?he was good the last day but not as good yesterday.

Is Evan Cody worth a try ?. I would like to see him and Conor Delaney tried at full back. If Luke Scanlon bulked up, he might fill a midfield slot but probably 2019 rather than next year

The management team is Mark Dowling as manager, David Carroll and Thos Farrell selectors and Liam Egan is the trainer.

There's probably a few I would say are worth a try given their consistency and level of performance all year. The problem would be that most are very un-Cody-like players. The two that fit the mould are Buckley and Cody and I definitely think Evan should get game time next year as he has got better and stronger for the Boro all year after two poor to average years. Tbh I wonder did he struggle to adjust when first called in to train with the county set up a few years ago? I think he's grown into it now and is blossoming this year for the club.
Ollie Walsh is already there as we saw last year but I don't think he's the type of player Cody traditionally picks. It's not that he's afraid of the physical stuff (as anyone who saw him last Sunday can tell) but he reads the game and he doesn't just barrel into everything and I think that counts against him. For me he has much better distribution of the ball than P Deegan but Paddy played Championship most of the summer and Ollie didn't get a look in.

After that the new lads at the top of the list I would expect a few of the following to get a call.
Conor Doheny, he was in with the seniors for some training last year early, he's a very good player is better on the wing but is covering the corner as we have two good lads on the wings and are struggling for a corner back. personally I prefer him wing back but needs must at club level.
Aidan Nolan & Tom Kenny, both are hurling very well and would be worth a trial, both are raw and young but they're strong lads who deliver nice ball forward and are fast if they get turned.
Robbie Fitzpatrick, is definitely a Cody type player and is very tigerish but his size may count against. Tbh I'm surprised he hasn't been called in before now. He could do a good job at number 4 but is playing well in midfield doubt Cody would use him there though.

Up front there's not a whole lot that I can see Cody picking.
Murt Gaffney, has never been called in as far as I know and don't see it happening now but he's playing his best stuff this year I think the management have got him believing in himself. Murt was very strong at minor but faded away since then and never seemed to believe in himself.
Andy Gaffney has all the talent but I'd be worried that he couldn't make the U21 team this year but he has another year I think but could be wrong there. If Andy applied himself totally he would be a Cody type player- big, strong, physical and loads of skill and vision.
Bill Sheehan, is a real bright spark and has been a consistent pain in defences back side with his pace and shooting. Probably too small for Cody but I'd like to see him get a trial I think he would bring something different to our attack.
Kevin Kenny, has the skill and is a player Cody likes but he's had a tough few years and is only starting to get back to what he can be.
Eoin Gough, a big strong lad, tall with a nice touch he works until theres nothing left. He's only back after a year and half on the sideline he used to be a CB before the injury. I think he's a Cody type player but there are lads ahead of him in the pecking order I would say might be worth a look at in defence.
Oisin Gough, a real nice hurler didn't really work out for him in the semi would be a Cody type but still very young would probably be too young to call him in.

Village87 · 17-10-2017 10:51AM

Lot of promising players mentioned above, but one requirement they are lacking is sheer physicality, strength and and aggression. It is also lacking in our senior players last year Limerick bullied us in u21 last year, Kilkenny were playing this short passing and little flicks while Limerick just overpowered us with running and winning hard ball.

Same can be said for the seniors v Wexford & Waterford, we lost in the physical department, aside from that the lack of skill level from some players like Colin, Wally, Paul Murphy, Conor Fogarty, Liam Blanchfield basic skill leve added to our downfall, also Michael Fennelly will not be back next year going on his performances for Ballyhale, 33 in a few months and mobility is not there, TJ run of bad form continues.

Sorry about the rant, but after watching plenty of club matches over the last few weeks i cant see to many players to change our fortunes next year.

I would disagree with you about the Boro lads anyway. They have done serious training this year and while they may not be ready for intercounty level physicality they definitely have not been bullied by anyone in the club scene. We've played the two most physical teams in Kilkenny- Clara and O'Loughlins and come out on top in all three encounters. The thing the Boro lads have is their able for the physical if a team wants to go down that route but the lads are using a game plan thats about speed and good delivery which negates a lot of the physicality. Most of the players mentioned above by me would need lots of S&C to get up to the required fitness levels at intercounty no doubt but they won't be lacking in strength if someone wants to go toe to toe with them, weather they'd last would be the problem at this stage.

Garyp88 · 17-10-2017 12:39PM

From another perspective instead of having the same prototype of players to fit a certain regime would it be wise to adapt the regime to the players available. There's some talented individuals at club level yet they dont get a look in at county level regardless of form or performance and use the league as an opportunity to field new blood and build for the future

The under 21s were certainly way off Limerick physically this year, I think the influence of the Limerick collages and the facilities and expertise which overflows from the rugby academy down there has had an impact on the teams doing well at under 21 in the last few years. Its fair to say some of the Kilkenny under 21s look no bigger or quicker than they did 3 years ago. I still think there is a good few talented players on that team that have the potential to make it at senior level.

At the moment it is hard to see Kilkenny winning anything next year but on the basis that they shouldnt be as flat physically this year I would expect at least some improvement in performances.

Is Evan Cody worth a try ?. I would like to see him and Conor Delaney tried at full back. If Luke Scanlon bulked up, he might fill a midfield slot but probably 2019 rather than next year

Evan Cody a son of Brian? Related?
