Kilkenny GAA Thread

An absolute trimming

A very sobering result for Kilkenny hurling today.

The best in Westmeath absolutely hammering the best In Kilkenny.

Thomastown were the best thing since sliced bread a month ago now there an embarrassment to kk hurling kk is in a dark place etc 🤣

There’s no in between on here it’s either boom or bust

God forbid a team had a bad day probaly thomastowns worst performance in 18-24 months

Sometimes the other team are just better

Hard luck to piltown camogie, beaten by a point after extra time

Piltown threw that away today in normal time

Absolutely on the ball there, some supporters on here love to see their rivals beaten when they’re representing Kilkenny through their club. The only positive from today is that the thomastown lads who are good enough to make the Kk senior panel can get going and integrated for the league campaign. Thomastown still achieved way more than they probably set out to at the start of the season.

Don't agree on the embarrassment but each to their own, it can be a one off and teams get turned over. We were beaten fair and square and even if shamrocks hammered them that was 2 years ago so is irrelevant.

We are far from embarassed after beating Ballyhale, Mullinavat and O Loughlins to win our first county final in 78 years. The clubs have been doing very well in the club championships and some lads are enjoying a bad period in Kilkenny hurling and constantly trying to add fuel to the fire. If Kilkenny were to win an all ireland at this stage lads wouldn't be happy and say we should be winning by more.

Just Rory Connellan, hard to make sense of it, no excuses better team won. These things happen and we move on.

I know a few of ye don’t want to hear it but the Boro had a good win today with Harry Shine being motm and Timmy Clifford a close second. Boro also in the roinn C final against Tullaroan which might cause fixture problems with elegebility for some players.

Kilkenny have dominated All three grades of the Leinster and All Ireland club championships more than any other county over the past half dozen years or so. Today doesn't define anything. Well done to Castletowngeoghegan , well deserving winners. Thomastown had a no show and tough on them . They will still be amongst the favourites in KK next year. Hard to see Ballygunner stopped . They gave another exhibition today.

ye I’d agree with that

they were a point up when they got the red card just after half time. Weren’t playing too well at the time but that was the end of it. Started giving away stupid frees and leaving players free everywhere. Would have done well to win it with 15 the way they were playing

ttown have had an unbelievable 15/16 months so fair play, they will be disappointed it ended like that yesterday..

its important our towns produce more players for the county in my view, i include the city teams and the larger towns like ttown, callan, comer in this

in fairness OLG have produced a fair number the last few years

not jumping on the anti boro bandwagon but its a worry that two of their strong 4 in a row minors have been in and let go from kk already by age 21

village are a funny one, relegated but they probably have more coming than any time since the early 90s

ttown rising to it now

comer coming strong underage and producing forwards for the first time in a few years

callan coming too at underage but a long way to go from junior to get through the grades, hard produce county players in junior unfortunately

Hard luck to Thomastown yesterday. Disappointing way for their year to end but the Leinster Championship in a different ball game and the likes of Castletown, St Mullins, Naas, Kilcormac are all regulars in this competition and this experience counts. Thomastown no doubt a better hurling team but fell flat on the day and were beaten by a hungrier and well drilled Castletown. Credit to them and they should take great confidence from this.

They'll have every chance against kilcormac who are without cillian kiely and ter guinan and would prefer summer ground than current conditions.
