Any thoughts on this evenings game between Borris-Kilcotton and Ballinakill?

A few absentees on both sides.

I would concur with lads saying players should not be named. If posters really need to know they can pm other forum members.

The drinking would have to be put in context and is it really about drinking?? That's is just a symptom of the malaise in senior football it's not the cause

Under 17s this evening in Portlaoise. Free admission and a grand dry evening. No excuse not to bring kids etc and give them a bit of support. Big test against the Dubs!

He should be brought in as a GDO alongside Colm Begley even if it means moving someone elsewhere. The kids really look up to him and he has a great work ethic.

In the last round Carlow ran Kildare to 5 points and Meath beat the Dubs so it's on the day. It would be a great boost for football in the county if we could get the win.

Drawn against Dublin in the semi final. Game in O'Moore Park next Tuesday evening.

Big win for them again tonight.

Sure that was tried and clubs because of their own self interest turned it down. When you have underage amalgamations there will always be players like Daly wanting to make the move.

What was the point of a play off if the top 2 are already promoted?

FOr those who have the time to read it here is the last review for 2009 to 2015. I haven't time to go through it right now but it will be interesting to see what was acted upon.

This will be very important for the county going forward. The last review covered 2009 to 2015 however we are in a very different place now than we were in 2009.

Now is the time to speak with the people involved so voices are heard and subjects debated.

You're right about Chris. I don't think he will get involved in any high profile management until he hangs up the Arles boots!

Anyone read the Leinster Express article. A lot of the stuff in the article has been debated on here before. There needs to be change and it's going to have to come from the CB so a shake up there is needed. Are there any young, ambitious club men willing to get involved at CB level and try and drive things?

With all the discussion on Creedon and the footballers I was just wondering what the general feelings with regard to Eamon Kelly.

Are supporters happy with his years work? Has he done a good job in trying circumstances with injuries etc

Was he tactically aware during games?

Is there any reason for him not staying on with the hurlers?

Personally I think it was a good job for the year and with a full panel to pick from it will be in the second year that we really see what he's made of. Very hard to judge progress this year with all the changes etc but next years league and championship should give us a clearer picture. I would like to see more put into the U21 grade as we've been very poor in this grade in recent times.
