Kilkenny GAA Thread

Galway have a very strong minor team this year, they absolutely trounced Dublin today and will be red hot favourites for the final.

But as mentioned above great to get to the final and another chance to take on Galway.

Supposedly 8 of that Wexford team are minor again next year, I thought their forwards were very weak physically today.

Think it is a good cohort but not sure if its 8, heard it was something like 5 of the starting 15 myself, no coincidence all 4 of Wexford subs were in the forwards.

I thought the minor half back line looked good yesterday, Aherne had a great second half got back to stop a certain goal near the end too. As was previously said good to get to a final and get another shot at Galway, hopefully they'll up there performance from the last game. I thought Ed McDermott and Greg Kelly looked good in the forwards, is Greg Kelly a brother of Mark Kelly who used to play with the seniors?

Young Ahearne was outstanding for the minors, keeping it simple and very effective.

The minors should throw caution to the wind the next day tear into them from the start ,show them no respect and see where it takes us threw in the towel from the start a few times under Mulrooney in the pre match interview he said it’s all about development, not a good way to be going into a final. When they started to hurl in the second half they could have bet them. John Walsh destroyed an unbeatable Galway team.

just saying give it a right good go.

Well going by the results in the minor championship they have actually been the best Leinster minor team in the Leinster Championship and have improved on their results on the way up through earlier age groups, so if we are going to rip into 17 year old or younger kids for being beaten by Laois last year at least some credit is due to a team who have actually played some decent hurling this year, middle aged lads like me remember that the minor team that was beaten for the first time in 10 years in Leinster in the late 90s went on to be one of the most successful underage teams in terms of senior all irelands won ever.

Why is the Antrim v Kilkenny put back to 1pm next Sunday.

For what it matters, I have been at them all, including their many challenge matches. That's partly why I totally agree with the post.

Must catch up at the next one

Well, I'll definitely be there!!!

Any link please

I presume it's that but I don't think he's saying anything too interesting there. He's basically just saying these lads were getting well beat before so there should be no expectations

I wonder when the announcement for the Performance Manager position they advertised and interviewed for will be made! It was last Oct/Nov they interviewed from memory. You'd wonder what the hold up is and why there has been no announcement. This is a pretty crucial roll for County board to fill and resource properly and professionally.

What is Patrick OFlynns role

Were Michael Comerford and Michael Fennelly not offered the role in a joint capacity. Thats the last I heard of it and I assume it just happened.

Probably all hear'say
