Its a joke that the 2 boys are allowed play for Glenmore

Cody went off near the end, looked in a good bit of discomfort with his ankle.

Really interesting few weeks ahead in the KK senior championship after todays results.

Glenmore back to form with a win over Thomastown and a great chance now of escaping bottom 2 on final day. The Bridge seeing off the Boro in a game that never really took off. Boro form gone worryingly poor. Village looking good for 40 mins but then Tullaroan took over and won comfortably sending Village into a mouthwatering 1st round v The Shamrocks.

Clara came good against Comer in last 15 to keep their momentum going. Comer look doomed unless they can find something quick. OLG looking unstoppable in dismantling GBC. Question is are they having things too easy. Guaranteed league final for them now. Dead rubber v Shamrocks in the final game. Mullinavat having a good win over the Shamrocks despite the return of TJ and Paddy Mullen in 2nd half only to lose Eoin Cody then.

Relegation matches almost nailed down. Village v Shams and Comer v Boro/Glenmore.

Will Village being in possibly the tougher group stand to then and are the Shamrocks getting lads back too late this year? No matter what going to a heavyweight of KK hurling fighting for survival in a few weeks.

Can the Boro find something to overcome Thomastown in final game to avoid getting dragged into the relegation side of things. Will Glenmores good form continue to put pressure on the Boro.

Will likes of Loughs, Shams, Village and Comer now rest a lot next week considering they all know their faith?

why? Every else would do it if they had the opportunity fair play to them I say they didn’t take them off a local club.

I heard Billy Reid was good again today, Kevin Blanchfield and Cillian Hackett might all be brought in. Anyone else standout lads?

Billy Reid has been good now at club level last few seasons. Definitely worth a look along with Cathal Beirne. Kevin Blanchfield was in this year and didn't get a look in. Hackett has potential but where is his best position. Modern intercounty hurling his size may go against him.

ye I agree with what you say

Billy Reid, Paul Cody, Luke Connellan for me. I'd like to see Diarmuid Galway from Thomastown get a craic in the league, his puckouts are far better than any keeper we have, not sure on rest of his game yet, but he is putting Thomastown on front foot with puckouts and his distribution.

Marty Murphy seems to be going in the right direction also, has looked a bit more mobile.

Liam Blanch is human wrecking ball for the bridge but it is strange how it doesn't happen at inter county.

Another thing is besides Harry Shine we might not see many with Dicksboro players from all the great underage teams the last few years make it with Kilkenny which is baffling.
