Kilkenny GAA Thread

Or agree with any criticism of a 17 year old who plays with your own club either, as I'm sure you will agree

If the Village win Junior can they have two teams at Intermediate next year?

A quick summary after the match is all, Comer are a poor poor side, i wrote a post on this last week stating that the match Sunday will tell us who on the Boro side is good enough for Kilkenny seniors. As for the match Saturday, Village were very poor also and will struggle to get out of Intermediate going off there performances all year, Diarmuid Cody was a shambles full back.

The county board pondering to Cody again, rescheduling the remainder of the Junior championship to accommodate the village minors!!

In my opinion No One from the boro deserves a place on the county senior team except maybe Harry Shine. The Boro lost a game to a 13 man team yesterday unbelievable. Congratulations O Loughlins ye are a fine team

Down for Saturday 19th October on Kilkenny GAA

Semi-finals gone to the 19th Oct and Final for the 2nd/3rd November.

this was the original schedule

Senior Camogie final 'could' be played in Nowlan Park on 27 Oct.

Was originally fixed for the 20th in a club ground.

If its on the 27th , the winners will then be out the following sunday for the first round of Leinster championship.

I was told by an OLG supporter at the match that 7/8 of their squad had lived in the Weir/Weir View at some stage which shows the effect that a housing development can have on a club. Dicksboro will benefit from the new housing estates out the Tullaroan Road, also Crokers Hill? Not sure if Breagagh Valley is within their area too. There are other large developments planned also. Is it James Stephens that will gain from the housing estates out the Callan Road such as Margaretsfield, College Park and Nyne Park where there are over 500 houses? I don't think there are many housing estates planned for the likes of Lisdowney or Tullaroan but the likes of Castlecomer, Thomastown and Callan will probably do okay. No doubt it will be harder for rural clubs to compete at Roinn A underage levels but also it will be harder for kids in the city to get games. Not sure if anything can be done such as reducing the extent to which the city parishes extend?

I’d love to know where your from?

Huge drops out rates in City clubs after minor aswel so nothing is guaranteed.

OLG seem to have a great club, Mick Galway the Kerryman always speaks fondly of how welcome they were to him as an outsider and I think he was involved in getting Fionan Mackessy into the club who seems to have settled in very quickly.

I would imagine in general the majority of Kilkenny clubs are very well run, the standard of club hurling has been excellent this year.

I would love to see Thomastown win it out, they have played a beautiful brand of hurling this last 18 months.

Moving the u17 back to u18 has been an excellent move. Loads of game time for that age group in an unsettling time for kids that age.

Both suspensions upheld on appeal. Meeting took place last night.

I am a bit surprised that the Mark Bergin decision is upheld given I can't ever remember him getting a yellow card previously. I suppose the difficulty was getting evidence to overturn it as none of the other officials may have seen it or they may have been no video evidence. Anyway, you would expect the rest of the team to win it for them. Interesting to see will Mackessy to be on frees or will they start Conor Kelly
