I heard it and asked a couple of days ago. No one came back. Could well have happened, not sure tbh.
It was meant to happen but word got out and it was canned last minute. Media had it on the Sunday but didn’t name Kilkenny.
They must be shitting themselves about facing Wexford this year. Davy was totally zen on the Sunday Game last night.
If Kilkenny won the AI this year would it be the biggest asterisk of all time?

I think Kilkenny and all their mullockers will go well in a Winter Championship.
Nobody better than Brian Cody to turn these games into complete dogfights and drag teams down to their level.
Assume Intermediate will take the same format.
It is. Decent format. Do you know when the draw is?
Junior is loaded

Nice n concise, be August at least till we see a match obviously.
Any good straight junior clubs ?
Tullogher, Conahy and Piltown would be the main ones looking in from the outside.
Kk junior clubs seem to reasonably regularly win junior, then intermediate and end up senior.
Conahy won the All Irekand last year. I’ve a feeling they won it years back also. However they lost the county final to OLGs 2nd team so they are still junior.
The all Ireland junior championships are usually won by Cork or KK teams 80% of the time I’d wager.
Bennetsbridge have done that recently. They have a decent senior team now with good young lads coming through.

Conahy Shamrocks won the club all Ireland this year, after losing the county final so they’re still junior.
O’Loughlins won the county but couldn’t represent Kilkenny as they have a senior team as well.
Tullogher are just down from intermediate and will fancy going straight back up.
Mooncoin were relegated from intermediate 2 years ago and on paper should be winning junior but they’re not as good as they like to think they are. Conahy hammered them in the QF last year.
There is 2 or 3 other teams that could go close if things fell their way.
Never saw a bad kk junior team.
Did thomastown not end up senior?
And Fifi s boys?
No, lost the county final to Tullaroan last year. One of the favourites for the intermediate.

No lost the intermediate final to Tullaroan last year, Tullaroan went onto win the AI.
Thomastown would have gone close again this year in normal circumstances.
Hard to know what way the truncated season will affect teams now.
