Kilkenny GAA Thread

The scoreboard stopped before half time and the boro stopped hurling around this time also.The boro started well and plenty of movement from their attack. Bunching and breaking.Bill sheehan got a few nice points while the bridge were reliant on nickey cleeres frees. The boro will be extremely dissapointed with the 2nd half the bridge got a goal and it just sucked the life out of them. David and Liam blanchfield were good.

Tullaron pulled away from comer In the last 20 mins. Mossy got a goal in the first half and himself and delaney had a good tussle. Comer lacked any real threat again up front with mostly defenders converted.Young Tommy was good at full back.Tom brophy isn't the comer goalie anymore.He must of gave 25 years service to comer.

Alot of clubs missing players for different reasons. Stephen Murphy got married for olg.Cian loy is on army duty. Ballyhale are down a lot of lads. Richie and tj on holiday. Colin and joey are gone travelling and expected to miss the full campaign.

Richie Hogan on holidays.Conditions were very greasy today but €5 for a match and €2 for a programme its great value.

I didn't attend the olg match and I know gbc were outplayed but I was talking to a few lads In clara who were at it and think the only place for him is up the field and away from the defence. I know its a huge difference between Club and county but I remember last year the first time Andy comerford put him in the attack was against Vegas in ballyhale but he improved every match last year.i wonder will new management try him up the field further.New management could entice Liam blanchfield back and maybe the break will have gave him a fresh hunger. He was dangerous today and caught a few good balls

Niall rigney over comer. The dunne Chap marking conor tonight hit him some shoulder underneath the shed. Conor got two nice points but his man was also involved and got a point.Mossy is a good target man for them

The €2 programme has all the managers and backroom teams listed. Excellent value with every fixture for the weekend and teams.

City cat opened his big mouth too soon another two gone from the championship, only one left.

Yea shamrocks will be dissapointed to lose that despite missing so many. Kevin nolan made a few good saves in the clara goal.They led for most of the match and were about 6 or 7 up in the last 10 but a conor o shea goal woke clara up. They moved jack Langton up also who made a difference. Eoin cody had a handy enough free at the end to level it but missed it. The shamrocks still had a very solid team and will take alot of beating even if they're missing Colin and joey. Darragh corcoran,mullen at 11 and cody at 14 is a very good spine. They've a few young lads coming aswell. They had a shortall chap corner foward who was good.

Alot of teams who thought they were going well got bet and lads who were going poor won. There was no form going into the weekend.This weekend should bring on teams and teams will know more about themselves.

Boro looked a bit clueless at times. Not goal threat bar a Timmy Clifford effort that was well saved and another well blocked by enda Morrissey at fb. Bridge have a nice style that suits their players and outworked the boro.... They have nice training tops thou

You ok hon?

I genuinely thought he was involved with Rigney. As for Paddy Deegan, some lads here obviously no very little about the game. I can name 4/5 forwards that have destroyed Deegan at the highest level when stakes are at the highest. One sided, slow, poor in the air, no recovery. Yes he tries hard and battles but if I want to see that ill go to a local club match and see a lad give it his all and battle to the end, doesn't mean he is any good though.

County board meeting brought forward to this Thursday night, are we about to ratify a new manager?

Yeah nothing on the agenda just thought it was interesting that it was brought forward! The rumours on who the new man will br seems to have gone quiet the last few days which probably isn’t a bad thing either

Wonder if Martin Fogarty will be involved. Also, there might be a position for Michael Fennelly.

This seems to be the talk anyway. Don't think fogarty will be involved. It will be last years back room team. I wouldn't mind who we got but our puckouts have being atrocious for a few years. A goalkeeping coach like herity would be an addition.

Not too sure. That's why I expected Martin Fogarty in.

I wondered if Fennelly might be involved. Hope Conor Phelan is there.
