Kilkenny GAA Thread

From what I’ve seen this year he is a sweeper he was on a mountain of ball the last day in portlaoise not as obvious as maybe neary last year but he’s definitely free more often than not

He maybe just doesn’t try run the ball out as much as neary last year though

Fingers crossed 🤞

I realise he was two years younger but he was on so much ball in the 2024 minor all Ireland final as he was one of the free men when Tipp lost a couple of players and he just didn’t use the ball well that evening at all … did a little solo and then hit long ball into the forwards when the game was crying out for us to carry the ball into contact, draw the man and make the pitch as big as possible. He’s a fine hurler with a good first touch and I’m sure he’s learned from that whole experience. I expect to see him in black and amber for many years to come.

I don't mind speaking out once or twice but he's getting too gobby now.

Kilkenny levelling goal as I type, going to be another tight one!

Galways ability to catch, control a ball or read a break is so so far ahead of us

Our first touch is so poor… how many attempts to rise a ball? Galway far more aggressive and first to every break.

Its A throw fest,something really has to be done

Publicity for the chipper.

Dollard having an absolute mare here. Needs to get the curly finger

Galway man coming out with the ball out of every ruck…

God we are so poor. Whatever about the minors, they were actually decent, but these u20s are way off the pace of what is required. How many on the team from last years u20 final team?

They can't keep up with the pace of the Galway lads at all.

Galway are getting some distance on the throw balls.

How they decided to put Barcoe back at 3 is madness. Cleaned for every ball and inevitable a second yellow would eventually arrive.

That was a humiliating night

To be fair to Garrett and Barcoe when there’s an endless supply of very good ball coming in there’s only so much you can do… they weren’t the problem.

another humiliation, what does is take for an absolute root and branch review of the failures over the last decade or are the county board just going to let the rot continue, because it can and it will get worse.
