Aren’t Threecastles and St. Lachtains (Freshford) the same parish??

[Piles_Hussain]

Oh god no

[iron_mike]

Threecastles would be in the parish of Tulla.

From The Indo…

Elsewhere, former All-Ireland winning captain Lester Ryan has left the KIlkenny squad.

The Clara man led the Cats to All-Ireland glory in 2014 but has struggled for game time under Brian Cody of late.

With the influx of new players into the squad, Ryan has fallen down the pecking order. Ryan started the win over Offaly in the Leinster SHC round robin series but has since found himself out in the cold and wasn’t part of the squad for the county’s final round robin game against Wexford.

And it’s understood that the four time All-Ireland winner made the decision to step away during the week as the Cats prepare for their Leinster SHC final clash with Galway on July 1.

Sorry didn’t see that or missed it in other threads.

Any concerts this year?

It’s not seen much action in recent years. No wonder the surface is good.

Great win for Callan over the knuckledraggers from Mooncoin last night, 2-14 to 1-13. Revenge is sweet.

Tullaroan hammered Graigue in their derby with Tullogher accounting for Glenmore with a handy 7 point win scoring 4 goals in the process.

More games today in round 3 of the Intermediate league.

KK hurling, back at the top table

[Piles_Hussain]

Another tight one won today buh. The better team and deservedly won 0-19 to 2-12 agin Lisdowney.
Tight group though, 3 teams on 5 points after 4 games. Mooncoin the only pointless team in it on the bottom and if Fenians beat them this evening it will leave 4 teams on 5 points and 1 on 4 points going into the last round.
Last game v Fenians will be real squeaky bum stuff.

[Fat_Pox]

I think the other group in the inter is loaded. Ye are on the soft side. I wouldn’t be surprised if the 4 semi finalists came from it. GBC, TT, TR and Tullaroan would be my semi finalist predictions

[Piles_Hussain]

Inclined to agree with you. Other group is going as you’d expect a group to go - clear cut stuff.
All we’re worried about is staying up to be honest.

[Locke]

The ‘Downey were top, that was an important win and let there be now doubt. With 19 points I’ll have to assume young Power was on song with the frees

[Midshipman_Asha]

The Fenians won. They are actually scoring this year

KK intermediate hurling is box office

Rang the auld bouy to get the load down on the game v Lisdowney yesterday, the big man was inside in Larchfield at a Specials game v Ballyragget. After saying yesterday’s game was “a right good game” and “the group is fair tight” he went silent while Callan rattled a goal in to put two points in it v St Pats. Told me then he’d ring me back later, which he won’t! Jaysus the man loves the ‘Lockes

[Locke]

The Lockes were playing the Emeralds at the Specials grade, they SMASHED it for a finish 3-22 to 4-12. The auld boy got the jerseys mixed up
