Kilkenny GAA Thread

A bord na nOg delegate meeting called tonight on the back of an email from Mooncoin. Anyone able to shed some light on that?

In fairness some of the ball Ritchie Reid hit into Cody in the second half was criminal, made for a corner back.

As said before, Cody should have been moved into a central position and I don’t think Hogan would of liked it.

Kilkennys tactics worked a great for Clare’s back, made heroes out of Conlon etc in the second half when they were there for the taking.

Comer minors beat Dunnamaggin by 6 points the other evening, maybe there was a reason why the few were on the panel after all and one even making the team of the year eh!

What bearing would beating Dunnamaggin have making the team of the year or making the minor panel for that matter? I recall a Dunnamaggin player making the minor team of the year and I don't think they needed to beat comer to do that ?

In fairness to ye both your minor and U16 team are very good. Best of luck in the championship

If it was the minors it was Noah Cahill and the other was cathal Buckley

what happened

Christ is that the same lad that got ye relegated in 15 as manager. And has your minor team playing in Roinn D.lucky he is on the ballygunner fun bus.

Half our U16's are the minor team too, the joys of a country club, one minor came on as a sub for the seniors last week and probably hurled better than most of the seniors 🙄

ye black card I’ve been saying it for years, but I think the huge work is going into these towns now.Look at the difference between Urlingford and Johnstown,A few big estates built in Urlingford and absolutely nothing built in Johnstown who have a primary and a secondary school in the parish. A lot of this is down to the local county council who won’t build the houses or won’t give locals permission to build.

Heard the same thing, great news about Tommy shefflin anyway think he'll bring something to the set up. Don't know much about what Mick kavanagh has done, friend was saying he was involved in meath as a selector and was in with fennelly in Offaly? Has he been involved locally?

Interesting experience with underage both in hurling and Camogie. Some clubs with two teams are dropping down top players to play with second team even though they have more than enough players to have two distinct panels. These players playing at both grades while fringe players on both panels getting very limited playing time. Don't understand the logic. Surely it should be fringe players at top grade getting extra playing time at lower grade. Have experienced other clubs who seem to be doing the right thing. I don't understand the logic and just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Can never understand this obsession adult coaches have with winning at underage. It's nice to win matches obviously but I've always hated this approach that leads to so many kids giving it up. Like if you were benched from the b panel so that a lad who was already getting game time for the a panel could get even more playing time, you wouldn't be long finding another sport to play. Shouldn't be allowed do it unless the second team literally couldn't field without extra players, or you were solely playing lads who were subs for the a panel. But that's not how the GAA works.

Are ballycallan or mullinavat in the shield final? Both finished on 7 points each and drew with each other on head to head.

Apologies, scrap my previous message. Mullinvat 2nd of score difference. Misread the table
