Kilkenny GAA Thread

Why aren't they Junior anyway? No ones first team gets relegated from Junior to Junior A as far as I can see. Is it just them and Carrigeen that have teams not in top 3 grades?

Carrigeen's second team are junior F.

I think their first team are in Junior C or maybe D

Ok. Thought they had a team in a higher grade.

I see on the website where they only won one game this year, against The Rower Inistioge's 4th team. They gave a walkover in one game. Really struggling so by the looks of it

They only won junior C 2 years ago. Never close to junior as long as I remember

KK v Wx in Dunmore U14 KK won by a point U16 in Ballyragget KK bet Limerick in the semifinal they await the winners of Cork or Westmeath

Does anyone have a master fixtures plan for the league finals and championship senior to junior?

Cork beat Kk 1-10 to 0-11 in the under 16 (2) cup final

Kilkenny beat Laois 6-15 to 1-05 in the shield in the u16 (1) shield final

I was at three games today,two U16 and the U 14 final whereas the U 14’s fielded the ball more times than the other two games combined.and the U14 teams only caught the ball at answer for us losing the skills of hurling.best a dozen times most of which led to a score,they all seem to want to bat it down for there opponents to win it . The clubs have to answer for the loss of skillls at underage level.

I said that here a few weeks ago that eddie was joining the backroom team a fowards coach. Niall corcoran obviously worked with eddie in laois and was with wexford hopefully he brings something different. A proper goalie coach is needed. Talks of scruff leaving although if glenmore win the county final he could be persuaded. Huw suppose to be going to Australia after the club campaign although hopefully he might go for a few months and come back. I was hoping they might go left field and bring in someone like kieran donahy. Henry supposed to be getting the 20s although he needs to carry himself better on the sideline instead of getting involved with opposition backroom teams and supporters. The county board need to go after more of that great crop. Brian hogan,richie power,taggy, mick fennelly,even richie hogan and paul murphy at underage.

Lost to Waterford by 10 points, 3-15 to 1-11 and that was in the shield, so they are a bit off for next year by the looks of it .

That is disappointing to hear. I thought we were turning the corner. I thought this years minors were going to be one of these great teams we produce once a generation but it turned out to be an average team again. Very hard to pinpoint where it is going wrong. Are the clubs doing enough underage ?

well Chaz I heard the Waterford team used their minor panellists is that what you were saying

who appointed Eddie Brennan and Niall Corcoran,if it wasn’t Derek Lyng who was it?Is there someone else in charge
