Eire Og 1-6

Kilkenny made it two-out-of-two on Sunday in the Leinster League when they defeated Ashbourne in Foulkstown. They needed to improve on the previous Sunday’s performance if they were to beat the visitors and this they duly did. A bigger level of commitment was the difference between the two teams and it was Kilkenny who had that little bit extra. It was still a very close game and the result was in doubt right to the very end. Kilkenny led 18 to 8 at half time and it appeared to be a comfortable lead but Ashbourne upped the pace in the second half and as the final whistle approached, the visitors looked as if they might snatch it. Kilkenny must be given credit for holding out and with the disadvantage of being a man down for much of the closing stages, it was all the more rewarding.

Kilkenny won by a landslide in Sunday’s clash in Foulkstown against visitors Edenderry.

Fresh from their county title win seven days previously, Eire Óg senior footballers advanced to the quarter final of the AIB Leinster club championship. They defeated Kiltegan at Dr Cullen Park on Sunday in a highly entertaining game.

Gaelic football, played at its brilliant best, excites me. It is a game that provides heroes and role models, moments of glory, and great sporting occasions, with the potential to lift the spirits of whole communities and providing a focus for local loyalty and a real sense of community. Unfortunately this year’s championship hasn’t yet done any of that and has provided only one game of real quality so far, that of Cork v Kerry.
