Kilkenny U19s v Yatton Colts; Easter Sunday, April 4th at 2pm

Please do your best to support our lads in the above game. Yatton is a small village in Somerset, where the "Zoider" apples grow, and they assure me that they are bringing some authentic Somerset apple juice for the post-match festivities. The bar will be open and Bruce is organising a barbecue. The Colts are 4 months older than our U19s, so our team will be bolstered by some of our most recent exports to college and metropolitan clubs, as well as players from Kilkenny College such as Peter Lydon, Patrick O' Driscoll and John McGuinness. Our exports to Kilkenny J1, Liam Phelan and Gareth Hayes will also be playing. We hope to combine a goodbye to our youth players in their final year, and a welcome back to our ex youth players to make this a special social occasion for them.
