Replying To Stmunnsriver: "DJ takes on Kilkenny u14 football team. Good man yourself DJ best of luck!" That should be some game. Think DJ will still be able to beat them all the same.... Offside_Rule (Antrim) - Posts: 4058 - 01/07/2016 08:53:43 1874519 Link
"A couple of weeks ago, and this doesn't get much publicity, Kilkenny had two teams, East and West, along with teams from Carlow, Laois and Wicklow in a competition. The two Kilkenny teams met in the final. "Nobody realises but there is no hurling in primary school in Kilkenny between the months of September and March. It's all football, 100 per cent football. And then Nicky Brennan says this: link keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 01/07/2016 11:29:55 1874585 Link
In fairness keeper there are lies, damn lies and statistics. Football may be played during those months, but that doesnt mean its being taken seriously, or being played in large numbers. joncarter (Galway) - Posts: 2692 - 01/07/2016 11:43:22 1874598 Link
Poor form from Brennan, is this what the top level of the GAA really think about weaker teams in both codes? seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2141 - 01/07/2016 11:57:04 1874605 Link

The bizarre thing is that Nicky Brennan actually managed the Kilkenny footballers at one stage. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 01/07/2016 12:53:38 1874644 Link
Replying To seadog54: "Poor form from Brennan, is this what the top level of the GAA really think about weaker teams in both codes?" It doesn't matter what DJ does with these U-14s, it is all propaganda by the Kilkenny Co Board. There are no football leagues in KK after U-14, just straight knockout championship played in depth of winter. Most clubs for some reason enter teams and then don't both turning up, meaning little or no football for players that are interested from u-14 on footballcat (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1 - 01/07/2016 13:13:39 1874649 Link

In Longford, there's only 2 clubs left fielding at underage so you can imagine how many games our hurlers will be getting after U14.... keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 01/07/2016 14:10:25 1874674 Link
Fair play to the guy for stepping in no airs and graces about him. And willing to work with the grassroots. At the very least his profile might bring a bit more interest to Kilkenny football. gormdubhgorm (Dublin) - Posts: 990 - 01/07/2016 16:13:36 1874751 Link

He is no longer muzzled by role as president and is now free to speak the truth however unpalatable it may be to some. liner (Mayo) - Posts: 756 - 01/07/2016 23:56:06 1874891 Link

Would it be possible for Longford teams to enter into Westmeath. Could the likes of Longford, Cavan, Monaghan, Leitrim, Sligo join together to get better competitions for those wanting to play hurling in their counties. Kilkenny could do something similar to join up with their neighbours. I don't know much about the club structure in Carlow, Waterford and Wexford but they're all division 4 counties, could they benefit from linking up more.

"Would it be possible for Longford teams to enter into Westmeath." We do...whenever we can. We get no home games with that arrangement. "Could the likes of Longford, Cavan, Monaghan, Leitrim, Sligo join together to get better competitions for those wanting to play hurling in their counties." Good idea. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 03/07/2016 21:42:47 1875674 Link
