KCLR's Big Game Live

The final round of the St Canice’s Credit Union Kilkenny Senior Hurling League takes place this Saturday at half past 1 with six games throwing in at the same time.

One of the biggest games of the weekend takes place in Callan where county champions Ballyhale Shamrocks will be hoping to avoid a relegation semi-final when they face James Stephens in a repeat of last year’s final.

This promises to be an absolute cracker with reports from the five other games going ahead across the county.

It was the final game of the weekend in the second round of the Michael Lyng Motors Hyundai Carlow Senior Football Championship as Old Leighlin face county champions Palatine on Sunday evening.

Both teams suffered defeats in their opening games as Palatine fell to Rathvilly, while Old Leighlin were narrowly defeated by Eire Og.

It was one of the biggest games in the second round of the Carlow senior football championship as Rathvilly and Eire Og meet  in Netwatch Cullen Park.

Both sides claimed opening day victories and will be hoping to return to the lofty heights of recent years when both teams faced off in county finals.

Two teams who currently sit on three points after their opening three games meet when Bennettsbridge and Ballyhale Shamrocks go head-to-head in Thomastown.

The Shamrocks were be hoping to build on their first win of the campaign against Graigue Ballycallan in the previous round, while Bennettsbridge were going for a first victory since their opening night win over Erin’s Own.

The fourth round of the St Canice’s Credit Union Kilkenny Senior Hurling League continued when Tullaroan and Danesfort go head-to-head in Castlecomer.

Could Tullaroan claim a third victory in-a-row or would Danesfort get their first points of the year?

The St Canice’s Credit Union Kilkenny Senior Hurling League returned this weekend after a two-week break.

It has reached its penultimate round and no team had confirmed their position in the table yet. Dicksboro took on Mullinavat in Dunamaggin in a cracking affai.

Friday night brought with yet another game in the Michael Lyng Motors Hyundai Carlow senior football championship as Bagenalstown Gaels take on Tinryland.

Eddie Scally’s Bagenalstown Gaels team sit top of the group after a two-goal victory against Fenagh last weekend, while Tinryland played out a draw with Mount Leinster Rangers.

The St Canice’s Credit Union Kilkenny Senior Hurling League recommences and it came to Muckalee for the first time this year for the meeting of James Stephens and Erin’s Own.

Coming off the back of a hard-earned point against Bennettsbridge last time out, Brian Cody’s James Stephens side will be hoping to claim their second victory of the season, while Sean Dempsey’s Erin’s Own charges have another tough test after their recent defeat to Glenmore.

The first game of the week in the second round of the Michael Lyng Motors Hyundai Carlow Senior Football Championship took placewhen Fenagh face Mount Leinster Rangers.

Last year’s intermediate champions Fenagh were hoping to bounce back from their opening-day defeat to Bagenalstown Gaels, while 2022 semi-finalists can claim their first win of the group after a hard-fought draw with Tinryland last time out.

Steven Farrell’s St Lachtain’s side went into this game off the back of two wins and a draw in their opening three games, while Graignamanagh have two points from their first two outings.

Adrian Ronan and Brian Dowling were calling all the action for KCLR live from Bennettsbridge with thanks to The Duiske Inn Bar and Restaurant, Graiguenamanagh.
