Kilkenny GAA Thread

Go back and read years of discussion and thoughts. Tis club time now.

A decent win for the Boro they looked a bit rusty and will need to be sharper the next day. Lisdowney fought hard and Evan McEvoy made a big impact when introduced scoring 1-3 in the second half. I assume he isn't fit or something, I don't know why he wouldn't start otherwise. A tower of man he fought fierce hard when he came on. Cillian Hackett caused Lisdowney trouble everytime the ball went in to the Boro FF line he got a couple of goals and a few points as well and only for the holding of the Lisdowney FB he could have got more.

Young Paddy Lacey did well from greed and took his points well, when he got the chance of the goal he rifled it home from a very tight angle. Tallis brought of some good saves to keep it tight, tighter than it probably should have been. A good first outing for the Boro but bigger and tougher tests lie ahead. Lisdowney fought hard but in this group of death it's hard to see how they stay out of a relegation semi. Hopefully they will be battle hardened from this group and manage to stay up.

Surely is club time now but as a wise man once said,"There's something rotten in the state of Denmark"

We have exceptional people holding court at pivotal positions in the CB and indeed on the Senior team.The polar opposite is also true.Unfortunately.

Time to clean house and get rid of the weak and lets not have groundhog day in '26.

11 years without Liam isn't acceptable for us as a county.We arent a watery breed of people, historically.

The fine weather helped but 10 of the 12 senior clubs scored over 20 points not including goals. The nest of 3 matches I attended was Thomastown against Tullaroan. The latter led by 1-13 to 11 points at half time before Thomastown hit a purple patch to lead by 5. Tullaroan fought back only to have a pass intercepted by Stephen Donnelly who goaled. Stephen and John Donnelly played well. Zack Bay was the best athlete on show but not the best hurler. Diarmuid Galway was back in goal, his puckouts were landing on the 20 metre line. I expect him to be playing for Kilkenny next year. Tullaroan's goalkeeper, Niall Holland, scored 3 frees.

Shane Walsh scored 1-1 from play before getting injured early. Mossy did well. Gearoid Dunne played wing back, scored 4 points but lacks pace

Did the 2 eds, McDermott and lauhoff play for the village yesterday?

Lauhoff didn't start. Came on with 15/20 to go

Does anyone know the results from all the KK academy games yesterday I do know that KK were beating LK in the Arrabawn QF by six points at one stage .

I was in at the U15 Arrabawn match. Great performance by KK, beating Limerick by 10pts. Some lovely hurlers on the team and very big and powerful in plenty of positions too

Not 100% but I think Tipp defeated Cork as far as I know

Both U14 teams topped their group of 3. Beaten both Galway teams, Wexford and Dublin. Leinster teams not in Tony Forristal/Sony Walsh tournament this year. Different stories as to why not

Thanks for the info, that’s brutal about non participation in the Tony Forristal although we seldom won it. I wonder what the reason is?

That's a serious result by danesfort and a bit worrying for st lachtains. Expecting a close one in that. Is James Maher around? Didn't see his name on the programme.

Carrickshock had a good win too with a few minors playing. Blacks and whites look in for another difficult season.

At half time, Danesfort had scored 2-16 with only 2 wides. I was impressed with Daire O'Neill at wing back. He had scored 1-2 when I left with 5 minutes to go

don’t know where you’re coming from with this , with only two posts you seem to be around a long time ago, have you some sort of agenda. The person I refer to beside me is a friend of mine not that it’s any of your business.

I’m struggling to understand what you’re on about.If it’s something personal you can use the mail box to sort it out.
