Kilkenny GAA Thread

Watched the u21 game on clubber, really like the look of Matthew Kelliher, he might be one to offer something with Kilkenny, he is a big man and can bag a score. Good boro team.

Cillian Hackett looked in good shape and was very dangerous. Boro starting to hoover up titles.

Tommy Hackett did bring the boro love in to extreme levels, it was hard to listen to, shouldn't be let near another boro match on clubber.

Clubber has been great this year, credit to them for their coverage.

very good publican he looked after us all Sunday night

Any news from Bord na Nog convention last night are the same old heads back in position

Who is the new PRO

I was told that the manager and the trainer new noting about the change they had decided to leave player on who I was told got injection before game and they were checking how he was and a 2 selectors made the change sure if that’s true it’s a joke and today I was told them 2 are suppose to be taking over the team if that happens I could not see much hope for the Boro

Not familiar with her

Declan Wall (M’vat) gone in as selector and coach with the senior hurlers

Should be a good game today between lisdowney and rathnure. Both impressive so far. Wexford park should be a slight advantage to rathnure but I think lisdowney have more physicality and that might possibly give them the edge.

Watergrasshill won munster last night so they should get to the all ireland with an antrim team to play in the semi

We have a good record against the wexford champions at most levels compared to inter county but it will be tough down there. Best of luck to Lisdowney though looking forward to watching it.

Have to say can't understand the fixture arrangements, can't remember other years but last year Thomastown played away in Enniscorthy, Navan and Aughrim in Leinster and now Lisdowney have had two away and one home. How is that happening, 5 away to one home in two years in Leinster! Something wrong there, that being said if Lisdowney focus on their performance they can do it. I think they will be well hardened after last week and think they will win by 4 or 5.

Very entertaining game so far between Rathnure and Lisdowney, nothing to separate them.

Two good teams going at it.

Great physicality and bite to it.

Enjoyable game, physical and competitive and some nice scores in it. Unlucky to lisdowney and well done on a great year for ye.

Can anyone tell me if Lachtain's have any current or recent county men?

My nerves are shot ahead of next week.

Brian Kennedy was for a number of years as well but gone of panel for a while.

Rathnure should be senior, Skippy Ruth has done a fine job with them this year to get back their senior status in Wexford.

Looking at the Lisdowney team below, would anyone else be worth a run in with the KK seniors winter panel?
