The news I heard out of Kilkenny was kind of mixed over the weekend.
Some good, some bad, some scary.
Henry Shefflin was taken off the frees by his club in their championship match against Clara.
TJ Reid took over but his form has been quite poor too. Cha is meant to be playing some excellent stuff these days as is Michael Fennelly.
Eoin Larkin has been very much struggling for form as of late.
A couple of weeks ago against Comer he was a pile of dung. He was missing easy frees and hitting a number of wides from play.
This week he started slowly against Fenians. Was porr in the first half hitting a couple of wides.
In the second half when put on JJ Delaney he suddenly burst in to life as did the rest of the Village with him as they put Fenians to the sword, the team scoring 4-8 in the last quarter. As I posted on another thread Larkin went down late on with what looked like a knee injury.
Hopefully he will be ok to face Dublin. JJ was good but for the while Larkin was on him. PJ Ryan could do little about the goals.
I heard that Gorta and Brian Hogan were good for Loughlins against Muckalee.
John Mulhall was a sub for Muckalee. Bizarre.
Richie Power was not expected to play against Tullaroan for Carrickshock but did and they won.
