Kilkenny GAA Thread

thank god that’s over, I think I got away with that one.

Anyway what about the two Waterford guys, yet another county board messed up. I assumed on Sunday that the chap of the Kirwans was big Franks other son, he scored a nice point and if the two of them get to gel with the rest of the Glenmore team they will be a serious addition.

you would want blood hounds to find them chaps in Glenmore.

Basically they wanted to go and play senior hurling with Clonea. Waterford County Board wouldn't allow it on the back of a new club after being set up in their area for hurling that takes in the catchment of their 2 clubs and County said they have to join there. Probably only a junior club.

They obviously then had a few contacts or someone approached them from Glenmore and a few properties were found and Croke Park signed off on the inter County transfer.

I can appreciate the players position in wanting to play at the highest level to their ability and also the county boards side of it in trying to promote and support and new local club in a football dominated area

You're spot on. Has already happened in soccer in KK pretty much. 1 club really with a chasing pack of 2 at best.

I suppose the main point here is Waterford CB probably did the right thing here and stuck to their guns. DRA then sided with players. Croke Park then approve an Inter County transfer probably without very little investigation into living circumstances etc. Very easy to get a few bills moved around to prove an address.

Dicksboro need the points today to make them safe, another game where it’s hard to call.

That one was 862 Marooned 😁

yer man must have falling asleep at the wheel, he’s awake now

I was thinking that myself, we have an awful lot of smart asses on this channel 😀😀😀

Yeah looking good, anyone know the odds on them winning the championship and club all Ireland?

Mullinavat beat the Shamrocks 3-20 to 2-16, didn’t see that coming.

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

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?

Bridge and Tullaroan playing off for a quarter final place

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

ye I agree with what you say
