They didn't speak Irish in Kilkenny for a very long time.
they were too busy playinghurlingcricket.
Henry and Walter are both very common names in South Kilkenny. Its no different from other parts of the country that have common names, such as Fergus in Clare, Jarlath in Galway, etc.
Lots of Walters in Waterford too.
fixed that for ya BT
fair play to KK on Sunday, better team won in the end and Shefflin really is a super player. Just watched it again on Setanta and the tackling from KK was just ferocious, pity we couldn't kick on when we got it back to two points of a difference but in fairness this is a fantastic KK team. possibly the best ever so no shame in losing to them. Probably Tony Browne's last game at this level but despite losing he can leave intercounty hurling with his head held high after last years disappointment / collapse. Still we have a bit of hope for next year after this and you never know....
forever the optimist I suppose...
