Kilkenny GAA Thread

That’s the biggest reason lyng needed to move on this year fresh slate for everyone anyone that felt they were messed around before or on the fence before going in would have maybe given it a go if there was new management Ticket not just 2 new coaches

Yeah i agree the dreaded cruciate is probably 8 months before back playing but 11 months before your back to proper championship pace and back to your best physically.

It was a bit of an anti climax in fairness on Sunday after 2 brilliant finals at junior and intermediate. I honestly thought all year OLG would get it done but you have to hand it to Ballyhale, they fully deserved it. I think given the deteriorating conditions, they might have a right crack at the club AI now. Paddy Mullen did some job on Sunday, he rattled nearly every OLG defender and played on the edge all day.

I don't know if the Village are good enough to come back up either. I think if Gowran were set up right from the start they would have pushed them very hard in the semi. Gowran will improve more in the next year give their young players coming through and the experience the last few years have given them.

Kilkenny as already stated need to rebuild and the 2 lads going travelling will force Derek's hand. Again if new management were in maybe we would have a few more returning also. People saying Corcoran too slow but I think he's the best option for 6 at the minute. The bigger question is who's going to fill the number 3 jersey??

I’d agree trying Carey full back, but I would also be trying Moylan there at some stage just to cover ourselves. There are lots of options out there, the trouble is all theses players need time some might gel straight away while others will take time. I heard there were trials for minor and U20 while the minor is a good thing ,surely it gets in the way of the U20 championship?

everything and anything should be tried and tested at this stage.

On another subject I see Tipp have introduced new sponsorship and not afraid to move on where our sponsors are guaranteed there position just like some of our players no healthy competition.

The important point is we don't get enough money from our sponsors and the cb still act like glanbia are doing us a big favour sponsoring us.

To be fair any poster criticizing the cb for sticking with Glanbia/Tirlan when there are numerous other options available to them are dead right. The fact that KK don't have at least one proper 5g or 4g pitch in the county is crazy. There should be at least 3…..1 in city, 1 up north and 1 down south. Yes it costs money which they don't have but when you're turning down multiples (1 sponsor is rumored to have offered 5 times what current sponsors offer…..let that sink in) of what's already on the table I think it's fair enough to have a pop at them. They have a seriously marketable product which has been left go stale over the last 20 years when they should have been creaming it off sponsors. Some small clubs are better run than one of the top 4 counties in the country. Rant over:(

I see Tommy Shefflin is officially finished with the Camogie set up. He has given a fair amount to them over the past few years including being with Brian Dowling. It will be interesting to see how Jimmy Meagher gets on. Will he give them the 3 or 4 years that they need to rebuild?

Again like above the Camogie Board need to get their act together and drive it on a bit. Interesting time ahead.

Unfortunately I agree. A few lean years ahead…….something like the hurling perhaps??

Absolutley....

Co. Board do very little to promote the game, and as little to support it.

I think the senior camogie team and county board are a few years ahead of where our senior hurling team and county board could be in a few years if the finger isn’t pulled out and the right development and people aren’t put in place in various roles

The senior camogie team amd Co board all seem very stale like our senior hurling equivalent
