Congratulations to Eoin Delahunty, Stephen Keoghan and Oisín Egan on winning the Junior A Leinster Final with St. Kieran’s College last week. They beat Good Counsel on a scoreline of 3-12 to 3-4. They now play Gort of Galway in the All Ireland Semi Final this Saturday.

The Annual Family Fun Day which was postponed recently due to inclement weather took place on Saturday evening last 02/09/2017. Despite the postponement, a large crowd turned up in Tom Ryall Park, Kilmanagh to support the club’s fund-raiser. The club had been busy since early morning as the first ever Billy Malone Memorial U17 Camogie Tournament was in progress. The tournament has been established to honour the memory of Billy, a great supporter of camogie in Kilkenny and who was also a trustee of the hurling club.
