The lads should be left alone to play Fitzgibbon for the college, there is 60 lads on the panel, surely they can field a strong team without them. Issues like this cause burn out and injury

Well that's a whole other debate.

I doubt if conor delaney or john donnelly will be on the panel this weekend as DCU are playing on monday.It will be interesting to see the full back line on saturday.It is the line that gives me the biggest concerns for the year ahead.

The reason the game was switched from Sunday to Saturday was because of the Fitzgibbon so I very much doubt BC will be leaving off Delaney and Donnelly because of their college commitments on Monday and ditto Richie Leahy and Jason Cleere who will be involved with Carlow IT on Sunday. Though Cleere hasn't appeared in any of the 3 matches so far,does anyone know if he's injured?

Nearly certain cleere got a operation for his hip

Carlow IT getting value for money there for a guy they have on a scholarship.

Id say they'll show the tipp match live as well when it's on.
Does anyone know are they announcing a team tonight?

Doubt it very much. When you get the programme tomorrow and even then probably best to have a pen at the ready for the changes.

Tomorrow is the last run out before the league commences.With fitzgibbon matches coming thick and fast the younger panel members will see plenty of action.Hopefully we can iron out the frailties that seem to be in the full back line because you'd expect them to be exposed in the next week if not.
It's expected wally and tj are returning to offer more strength up front and get gametime
Team I'd like to see
Brennan
Delaney,alyward deegan
Walsh,buckley,browne
Maher,fogarty
Leahy,richie reid,wally
Donnelly,tj,bolger
If tom alyward is still injured id try delaney at 3 with bergin corner back.

Yep Jason Cleere had a hip operation back in November I think he won't be back until April. Tom Aylward has a dead leg apparently so unlikely to see him out today but should be ready soon.

Yes, Wexford's nine is between the full back and half back line.

FCIM

Wexford coming back into it as the half progressed. 1-13 v 0-11 half time.

I'm at it but I have a Wexford radio station commentary because KCLR have the Bennetsbridge match on one wavelength and Leinster on the other.

Strange decision seeing as KK conceded the 3 goals last week

FCIM

Decent performance in second half by 14 man Kilkenny (Richie Reid sent off for second yellow and Cody sent to the stand too in the aftermath).

FCIM

Referee (is it Barry Kelly?) making an utter hames of it.

Doltanian

Absolute thuggery by Kilkenny here today what I've seen is a disgrace so far.

Are you for real? Lee Chin wore his hurl off a Kilkenny player and got a yellow card for it.

1-21 v 1-21 at full time. Extra time. Kilkenny back up to 15 men so only the one less than Wexford then...

mullinr2

Level 1-21 to 1-22. Extra time. Would be disappointed to lose to Wexford for a third time in a row

The video shows otherwise, and Cody sent to the stands, the most cynical team to play the game expose themselves early this year.

Its all over social media already. If right was right then Kilkenny would be missing several talismen for the rest of the year, it was like something out of ancient sparta.

FCIM

KK 1-22 v WX 1-23 at half time in extra time. Both sides look sluggish now, not surprising given the time of year and the weather.

So why did poor Lee get the yellow?

Cos Cody the bogeyman said boo :rolleyes:.

History being made with the first ever free taking competition to finish a hurling match. 1-24 v 1-24 at the end of extra time. Fairness to both teams, given the time of year and weather it was an entertaining match.

Should be no free like this without Hawkeye technology.

FCIM

Wexford win 3-2 on frees. Some woeful shots by both.

It's only the Walsh Cup. I'd agree with you if it was a competition with any level of gravity.

Lol... I'll have whatever you're drinking. Now go celebrate that Walsh Cup win like you're after winning the All Ireland like a good man now.

Another loss to Wexford. How times are changing

Comerman

Game is on YouTube if anyone is interested

Cornerback1

It was on live on YouTube. I just caught 2nd period of extra time and shoot out. I'm not sure if it can be watched back.

A late free for KK drew it after Conor Mc Donald put Wexford ahead with 1min left. Shoot out is a lottery. Wexford missed their first 2 but then won.

3 losses to Wexford in a row - only Walsh Cup but still a good workout.

Realt Dearg Sec

Seeing as how blatant trolling is now apparently fine on this thread (as evidenced by rebelside being allowed free rein the last week), I presume they've also suspended the rules about accusing people of trolling as well. With that in mind, fcuk off Doltanian you sad troll.

Topcat32

Always annoying to lose to your neighbours but wouldnt be that bothered about the result, we all forgot that we won the 2017 Walsh cup by the end of the year, interesting things to come out of it were Lester Ryan being on the panel despite reports that he had dropped himself off it and Cody not bringing on TJ even in such a tight game.

Realt Dearg Sec

How did they respond to the sweeper?

TJ wasn't there.

The sensation

Tj not togged. Also can you mute people on this ?

I guess that explains that then, he was listed on the program.

What was Reid sent off for?despite losing on frees and considering the team out you'd have to pleased with some of the lads.Joey was excellent apart from the goal.mossy tried hard wally got better as it went on.
We slipped after the sending off but showed good character to keep it going.

Pulling the helmet off Hanlon.
