JJ. Cabana's Daily Airport Service sponsors Talk Sport on Community Radio Kilkenny City.

Pat Treacy (0:13)

Very good evening, you're very welcome to Friday Evening Talk Sport. We're here till 7 o'clock. As we look back and look forward, we look left and look right.

On my right is Nicky Brennan, on my left is Paddy the Dub Kelly.

Paddy Kelly (0:27)

Pat, how are you?

Pat Treacy (0:29)

It's dangerous times. You weren't in Killene Hill the other night, no?

Paddy Kelly (0:32)

No, no, no, no, no.

Pat Treacy (0:34)

You look like two lads could have been.

Paddy Kelly (0:37)

I went there, I'd never come back.

Pat Treacy (0:40)

Well, I thought you had a couple of new chairs there, so. Oh, it's all right.

Anyway, you're all welcome. And Under-21 Action this weekend, of course, the Under-16A final replay is on also. And we'll be having a look at all that. Look back at Colleges match yesterday, and CBS, I find it hard to say the CBC, do you?

Gerry Murphy (1:06)

Yeah.

Pat Treacy (1:07)

Yeah.

Nicky Brennan (1:07)

I just have to get used to it.

Pat Treacy (1:08)

Ah, it doesn't roll off the tongue. Is it that Christian Brothers Community School?

Gerry Murphy (1:14)

Yeah.

Nicky Brennan (1:15)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_7 (1:15)

Yeah. Yeah.

Nicky Brennan (1:16)

Yeah.

Pat Treacy (1:17)

Yeah. OK. A rather Christian Brothers School. Yeah.

Nicky Brennan (1:20)

OK.

Pat Treacy (1:21)

And I suppose the CBC, they were too strong all over the field.

Nicky Brennan (1:29)

I saw a bit of a pattern clubber I had in an appointment yesterday that I couldn't get out of, and they were quite dominant. I mean, Ciaran's got the early goal, and maybe gave an impression that it was going to be a game, but to be quite frank about it, CBC were by far the better team. Oli Donovan hit a few bad wide, so I know Ciaran's hit a few in the second half as well, but I just felt that Ciaran's attack just made no headway against an exceptionally strong defense there, you know. So, look, there's a number, though. I mean, Josh Dowling was playing centre back for the CBS. He played senior for Comer this year.

And I'm trying to remember the team now, because I saw it in a report, but I didn't can't remember all that. But a lot of the, actually, yeah, David McGee was full back now. He played senior for... So you were the guy playing full back, and another guy center back, that played senior club hurling in Kilkenny this year. Now, that is a serious, serious, you know, strength of a team, you know. And they were, now, there was a lot more besides young Lacey at the Borough of Chapman, went back, he seemed to be, thought he was very dominant.

I was listening to, I wasn't listening to it now because I was in company and I had to just leave the sound down. So, but certainly at number seven, he was quite dominant. But look all over the field, they were very strong. And just Kieran Smith, no impression at all up front.

Pat Treacy (2:46)

Yeah, yeah.

I was very impressed with Chapman McGee's full back. He has the real crush of a full back now.

Nicky Brennan (2:55)

And if you're after playing a full year, Pat Penn, senior hurling in Kilkenny as those two chaps are, I mean, God, that's big development for those guys.

SPEAKER_7 (3:01)

Yeah, huge development for those guys.

Nicky Brennan (3:03)

Obviously those two guys were going to be very much on the reckoning for Brian Hogan this year, I imagine.

Pat Treacy (3:09)

And I came in there from Conaghy, and he's a fine strapping lad, and I thought he had a better impression.

Nicky Brennan (3:15)

Paddy Kendi, yeah.

And his club mate, Jack Rattingham, was playing on the opposite side. I thought Jack had on a fair bit of ball, but look at those guys are after it. They're bloody murdered, Pat. They've been playing a minor and junior with Conaghy, and then they come in to play with their school as well. Jeez, they're getting it hard at the moment. I feel really firm now.

Pat Treacy (3:33)

Yeah, and a few of them might be on squads.

Nicky Brennan (3:36)

Well, the lads will be playing on the 21 for Conaghy on Sunday. You know, and that's just the reality.

It's tough going out.

Pat Treacy (3:44)

Yeah, it's a tough turnaround now for Calan lads. There are a few Calan lads playing and the Borough lads. You know, and that's straight after a county final, you know.
