Tommy Fit but Cha is laid low

TWO of Kilkenny’s bravest hurlers are getting their kit off for a very worthy appeal.

Last weekend’s game between Kilkenny and Waterford was far from a classic, it was one of those start stop encounters that just never got going. Cork referee Sexton was whistle happy but in his defence having watched the match again on TV a lot of his calls were justified.

It has been a long hard winter in Kilkenny and I'm not just talking about the weather. The disappointment of not achieving the illusive five-in-a-row has been well and truly trashed out since last September.

Henry Shefflin and John Tennyson will miss Kilkenny's entire NHL campaign as both suffered knee ligaments injuries in the latter stages of the 2010 championship.

Kilkenny hurling star John Tennyson has picked up an infection in his injured knee, putting his participation in Kilkenny’s 2011 Championship campaign in major doubt.

A well balanced and skilful display helped O’Loughlin Gaels land their third Kilkenny senior hurling county title on Sunday last.

A crowd of 11,000 turned up at a bright but very cold Nowlan Park last Sunday to witness O'Loughlin Gaels claiming their third Kilkenny senior county title. The bookies had made Carrickshock favourites, it was a tag that surprised many locals, one can only assume that the odds compiler wasn't aware of the city men's experience and fighting spirit. OK the ‘Shocks had five intercounty players in their ranks but it was widely accepted in Kilkenny that it was O'Loughlin Gaels that had the more balanced outfit.

This coming Sunday at around 5.30pm we should know who the Kilkenny Senior Hurling champions are for 2010. O'Loughlin Gaels from Kilkenny City will play star-studded Carrickshock from south Kilkenny.

This Sunday at 3.30pm Nowlan Park is the place to be when O’Loughlin Gaels and Carrickshock will contest the highly anticipated senior county final and set out to win the Tom Walsh Cup. This exciting showdown comes from two exciting and nailbiting semi-finals. O’Loughlin’s joint manager Mick Nolan is excited about this Sunday’s showdown. “We can’t wait now, we’re really looking forward to it,” he said. “We’ve put in all the hard work to get here and now we’re just ready.” As for the opposition, Mr Nolan has plenty of respect for them. “They are powered by five county men and have a fine side, however we have our stars too and it should make for a very good and enjoyable final.” Having suffered injuries earlier in the year O’Loughlin’s are back on track. “We are now injury free and have Martin [Comerford] and Brian [Hogan] back to full strength and we are just ready for battle.”
