    Yeah, great result, hopefully the new lads will keep up the good work and put pressure on the regulars for starting places, which should maintain high standards.

    I felt one of the problems with last year was that having so many injuries lads maybe weren't pushed as hard as they could have been, which might explain why there was a lethargy in some games. Lads would hurl better in my view if they knew they really earned their place on the team in place of 5/6 challengers in training and the confidence that would give them, and if there was 5/6 lads there to take their place if they dropped their standard. We never really had that level of competition for places last year.


    I agree with you regarding the level of competition. The injuries last year derailed everything. Cody knows he has to build up the panel this year. Great if we don't have the same number of injuries but the new lads will have been blooded and ready to challenge the regulars.

    Interesting to see Michael Walsh getting so much game time at full back. Very little is known about him but he's doing fine up to now. Two other Kilkenny players line out at full back for their Fitzgibbon Cup teams and to my knowledge haven't been considered - Pauric Gahan for WIT and David Glynn for UCC. In fact Glynn was picked at full back for the Fitzgibbon Team of the year 2013. It was reported in a daily newspaper that Gahan dealt very capably with none other than Cork County star Conor Lehane. We do need cover for JJ and Brian Hogan.

    16th - Sunday week.

    I've seen him in four games now and find it difficult to assess him. I suppose if you don't notice your full back he must be doing his job! Also we've conceded just two goals since he slotted in there - one of which was from a twenty one yard free and the other was a dodgy goal against DIT when Herity was clearly fouled. As was said, we'll know more in the league. Similarly with Brian Kennedy, Padraig Walsh, Mark Kelly,, JJ Farrell, Joey Holden, Joe Brennan etc.

    Doesn't seem to work no matter what they do with it. They should play it off over a weekend and open up the gates to the public. Also send out passes to all the schools in the area.

    Regarding the Kilkenny contingent, seems like Tommy, Larkin and Colin Fen can't get enough of the action. Fen is on a roll at present so hopefully it continues throughout the year.

    Tommy can never get enough. He always seems to play the Inter-pros and the hurling-shinty matches. Fair play to him.
