Kilkenny GAA thread

What time?

Not sure, just heard it was moved. Will update if I find out.

Seen on social media it’s cancelled. Not on at all sol I presume

All very true. Fine pitches even if the dressing rooms are quite cramped. I meant that it’s ironic that a club who play no hurling at any level (even underage) have become a boutique venue for the Box Office Industries challenge match circuit. They obviously have the 65 line marked anyway.

Match off anyway. They obviously scrimped on the undersoil heating.

A great honour. Let’s hope we can do the business.

Great honour and a top lad I’d say. That said, surely to fucking god it’s time to do away with this nonsense.

A worthy recipient of the armband, can’t imagine he’d be one for rousing speeches in the dressing room but will do his talking on the pitch.

Especially with Mcdonald vice -captain who probably won’t be a starter

It’s ridiculous

Hypothetically if Dicksboro won the KK championship would I be right in saying they haven’t a likely starter, just a few young lads who could potentially push for place like Shine or Moylan?

I’m fairly sure that’s true, they would then nominate a captain from another club who is a starter.
It happened with OLG a few years back, there’s was a particular match where they had no starter and they nominated Padraig Walsh as captain because of his Mum’s family links to OLG
I think Clara nominated JJ when Lester was the captain but did not start

Kilkenny won the camogie all ireland in 2020 with lucinda Gahan from dicksboro captain. She didn’t start, can’t remember if she even came on.

I thought/heard Donnelly would be back for this one.
Plenty of Thomastown lads around alright…

Jesus that was one bad half from KK.

That was more than a 3 points defeat. Galway on top all over, hungerier, used the ball better. Only for mossy last 2 games we’ve been average enough. He’d be hoty if they were giving it out now.
Still these games won’t matter when championship gets under way. Mullen, Donnelly and tj to come back. Peter Mcdonald only newcomer who could be a starter come April.

What exact role has Katie o Farrell got With the Kilkenny underage squads?

She rode a couple of big winners for Willie Mullins.

Never heard of her…

But a google tells me she’s from Kilmaganny, gave up the saddle, went back to college and is now a sports phycologist, initially working with jockeys.

I suppose she’ll be able to help them keep down their weight. :rollseyes:

No clue but fair play to her. A tough cookie.
