    The main concern at present seems to be getting the club back into action by late August/September,that would mean one of three options for intercounty 1. Not payed at all. 2. played October/ November 3. played early 2021. I was looking at the age profile of the Kilkenny team. Lads like TJ/ Riche Hogan will be 33/32 this year, Paul Murphy and Colin Fennelly 31, Conor Fogarty and Eoin Murphy 30. Kilkennys age profile is pushing up. This stop is not ideal for Kilkenny at present with an ageing team

    I'm disappointed to hear this. Not so much about the delay to inter county, but the lack of activity for another 10 weeks or so. Especially when the health experts advised that small group training was OK.
    It's kids who are suffering the most. Adults can get on with their own fitness and s & c stuff. But we're going to have to get used to living with this thing. And we're going to have to start getting creative about working around it.
    If we're holding out for a vaccine, we'll be waiting....

    Its a year none of us are going to forget for a long time , as regards sport is it a major priority at the moment peoples lives and business have been reefed to bits the last seven weeks families have not seen one another in that time and it will be longer. The gaa would be great if it was back we should have been starting sunday week , these gaa players have lives to make sure get everything right first.

    Coln O Rourke talking a lot of sense here, both in relation to schools and sports. I think we will really look back on this as a mistake. Locking kids up at home, away from school for almost 6 months and sports activities (excl. golf, tennis, any others?) for 4 months+, is over the top. Especially when all the numbers are consistently going in the right direction.
    As regards the GAA, I take the points that Mr Horan made on Sunday Game last week. But we're going to have to get used to living with this thing. And that means getting ourselves organised and start adapting at every level, be that individual, business, sports club, whatever.

    Any chance if they are going to go ahead with the county championships that they'd be tweaked? I know a lot will depend on whether there's going to be any inter-county played, but with a limit on crowd numbers I'm not sure that will be possible.If they were to cancel the inter-county season, and the clubs were free to go ahead with matches starting the first week in August, we'd probably get a full championship done, all we'd need would be 12 weeks which would take us until the end of October.

    Personally, I'd love to see them tweak the championship structure anyway. Get rid of the league & shield finals, and have only the top 4 from each group go straight to the Quarter finals (1st v 4th of opposite group, 2nd v 3rd of opposite group). Have the bottom two team into relegation SF's (5th v 6th of opposite group).

    It would make the group phase a bit more cut-throat knowing you'd have to win a few games to avoid possible relegation, and remove one round from the calendar.

    One of the cornerstones of club hurling at all ages and grades in Kilkenny is that every team plays a knockout championship game and long May that continue imo

    The numbers are going in the right direction. But ask yourself the question as why the numbers are going that way... is it because of the restrictions in the first place

    I see where you're coming from but it's a bit ridiculous that if you finish 5th in your group you play the worst team in the opposite group but if you finish 4th in your group you have to play the 3rd best. I know there's a built in risk with the first round doubling as a relegation semi final but it doesn't make up for the fact that the competition has a fundamental flaw

    Just keep an eye on whatever we are doing or planning here in the states, ...& just do the opposite. You've done great as a country so far from what I know & have been told. Just keep it up. & hopefully we'll get some GAA action. Stay safe all

    They'd still be getting a knockout game, only it would be to avoid relegation.

    As an aside, I'd love to see a world cup style tournament (the Kilkenny Super Cup!!) set up for the club player and played in Kilkenny every year going forward.

    A 32 team tournament, we have 12 senior teams, 12 Intermediate teams, and the other 8 teams could be made up of the best 8 Junior clubs (or possibly the 4 best junior clubs and the 4 Carlow senior clubs?). Open draw, 8 groups of 4, all knockout games finish on the day.

    We could put forward prize money to give the competition a bit of a kick, €1k for the quarter finalists, €2k for the semi finalists and runners up and €3k for the champions.

    The competition would pretty much go hand in hand with the inter-county round robin, except we wouldn't be playing games on the days that Kilkenny teams (senior, U20 or minor) are playing, and would be played without the county players.

    The tournament would be run off like the World Cup only with 4 days between games over the course of a month (say the month of June).

    The main purpose would give club players s a genuine tournament to look forward to, and to give the teams from the lower grades access to better quality opposition to help improve the standard at those levels.

    John Kiely came across very well last night on the Sunday Game. Great perspective on things. Really enjoyed his answer to the question about the Limerick hurlers dancing to raise funds. Really lets the players express themselves and great to see. Other managers have there players cocooned from any type of coverage like this.


  • Posts: 0 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Cody will have to organise a dance at the crossroad, I say Danesfort cross would be best it would be in the 5 kilometre radius. As regards fundraising I remember a kilkenny hurler been ripped to pieces by somebody here about holding a horse was told he should be concentrating on getting himself ready for the championship so you are fecked if you do and fecked if you don't.

    We already have this no? The all county league. Nobody takes it in any way seriously. Years back the the prize was a pair of Puma Kings for each players on the panel. It was known as the boots league.

    Or have I made that up? Anyone else remember that?

    I'd love to see a local 7s hurling tournament. Easy to organise during the summer.
    4 clubs at each venue one Saturday.
    Winners move on to the next weekend until you get to a finals weekend or a semi final, shield final and main final. 3 or 4 weekends would so it.

    That was a week before a must win championship match if my memory serves me right, and Murphy was after getting a few run arounds leading up to it. Limerick case is different, done completely during downtime.

    It's one thing getting involved in petty tit for tats with other counties about what happens between the white lines, but to be having a go at fellas for raising money for hospice is a level of spite that's really breaking new ground.

    Shameful stuff.

    Good to hear that KK Seniors are taking the common sense approach. Back training in small groups, complying with Phase 1 relaxation of restrictions. It really is a pity that juveniles aren't being allowed bsck on the field. Between school and sporting activities they really are being deprived. Especially when we see how things are progressing in other countries.

    On the second thought I did misread the above, thought there was a slight that they were acting irresponsibly during the pandemic. I'll go out and get some fresh air tomorrow! Apologies to both posters.

    Hard to know what approach is the best for Seniors, very unlikely the 2020 championship will take place in 2020. Croke Park has regularly stated since the pandemic occurred that Club championship will be played first. This will leave little room in the calendar year for inter-county. The crowds for inter-county also a massive concern going forward.

    7/8 players starting or very close on the Kilkenny senior team at present who were knocked out by Westmeath in the u21 championship.

    in fairness i don't think 1 underage game should define a fella, my own county lost an u21 all Ireland semi final to antrim in 2013 when the players have openly admitted complacency cost them,i also remember reading Kerry lost an u21 Munster football final to cork in 2011 something like 2-21 0-6, then in 2014 6 of the team were starting when they beat Donegal in the Senior final.

    I remember that, the Antrim manager had so much faith in his team that he'd booked a holiday in America when the all Ireland would be on, and half his team weren't even on the field

    I hadnt heard that before, but as far as I remember there was actually supposed to be someone else over the 21s and Ryan had to take it when he pulled out a month before they played Clare.

    https://www.bbc.com/sport/northern-ireland/24073264

    Two years later, he had an interview about how he couldn't get a dozen players training. I guess there a lot more historically going on there that makes it an additional challenge, but I do recall Laois being in a similar position with their Seniors 10-12 years ago prior to Cheddar taking over.

    Even now I know Brennan has mentioned it that some of their better lads won't commit.

    Antrim only togged 19 players and Wexford were 1/80 to win. Must go down as the biggest shock in recent hurling history.

    Yeah he was talking about it in very diplomatic language on the Sunday game the other week alright, hoping the Dublin win might persuade more lads to join the panel, and that they'd be welcome if they did

    Is it true Kilkenny got a slap in the wrists for having collective sessions. Croke Park got wind of this and are investigating at present.

    A lot of these lads see playing with the club as the priority as they see little chance of making an impact at inter-county. Can't blame them to be honest.

    From what I heard their training is within the Government and GAA regulations, ie in Groups of 4, and not using GAA facilities. A first step.

    Good to hear the GAA announce today the possibility of reopening pitches and group training in Phase 3, 29th June. I note that they're still hopeful of running Cul Camps. We really need to start getting kids back into activity and social contact. Even to get them to the field for training. matches can wait. Much more of a priority than county or adult club action.

    And wouldn't it be ironic if the GAA manages to organise activities for groups of small kids, while our Dept Education can't get them back into school.

    Why are they allowed to train at all? And aren't all pitches closed? This can't be true

    I believe that they are using school pitches, not Co Board or GAA club facilities. In groups of 4, so within regulations.
    And if the GAA were inclined they could allow clubs to do this too. And really should be doing all in their powers to get our kids back into action.
