How will that go down? There’ll be a lot more of it with the escalating trend of rural de-population.

Not that type of a situation at all. There are rakes of numbers in the parish of Mooncoin.

Carrigeen are broke, after taking on an ill advised loan a few years ago. Croke Park would not assist them financially because they do not have a juvenile section. A half arsed attempt was made to construct a juvenile section but the effort died a death, because the ‘plan’ was too divisive in certain families. So the unthinkable was thought.

Another factor, in my view, is the expansion of Junior, on a non divisional basis, into Junior C and Junior D. The carry on of certain Carrigeen mentors and certain Carrigeen players has been disgraceful for a long time. Their true home would have been the nether regions of South Tipperary Junior hurling. Which or whether, Carrigeen’s carry on was confined previously to a narrow circuit of South Kilkenny clubs, places well used to their favoured approach – and inured to it, in truth.

Last year, far more clubs, including ones from North Kilkenny, were introduced to this approach. These clubs not impressed. I believe the Gardaí were called to the Threecastles pitch after Carrigeen’s visit last summer. The idea of ‘plucky little Carrigeen, keeping the flame burning’ got extinguished.

Carrigeen is a distinct part of Mooncoin Parish, a bit nearer Waterford than the village and environs. The historical source of Carrigeen GAA Club lies in its status as a Fine Gael-orientated outfit. The founding belief was that a counterbalance was needed to the supposedly Fianna Fáil-orientated Mooncoin club. This afflatus is now largely lost in the mists of time and survives largely as crankery and pettiness. Normally you would like to see a club keep going but few people would lament Carrigeen’s demise.

There are two other Kilkenny parishes with two clubs. Threecastles, which lies in the parish of Freshford, simply want to keep the club afloat because it was one of Kilkenny GAA’s founder clubs. Threecastles have 23 or 24 adult players. I guess their logic is that they might as well be hurling Junior C with Threecastles as with anyone else. Besides, their notably talented lads generally go and hurl with St Lachtain’s and there is, best of my knowledge, no particular tension between the two clubs.

Blacks and Whites and Graiguenamanagh is different. Blacks and Whites consider their club the pivot of a rural identity in Skeoughvosteen. Graiguenamanagh would amalgamate in the morning but Skeough’ are not for turning. I once had the honour of refereeing an U12 match between Blacks and Whites and Graiguenamanagh. Quite an experience…

You really can’t help yourself can you, wanker.

If the cap fits.

He does not want to say that John Leahy is the current Carrigeen manager.

The previous manager was a tramp from somewhere in South Tipp.

Not the Junior Championship per se. The equivalent of Junior C (DIvision 6) and Junior D (Division 7) in Kilkenny. Hence the adjective ‘nether’.

Would he be getting a few quid for that or is it all part of a plan to gain experience for the big job in tipp when sheedy retires with his reputation in tatters

I can give you a few contact numbers in Carrigeen…

[Aristotle]

Why would Leahy manage a Junior C team in another county? Would he be getting paid well (presumably not if they have financial trouble?)? Or does he have family from the area?

Wouldn’t be much of a spin from where he lives, he has Kilkenny breeding also.
