Congratulations to Naas - very well deserved. Kildare football needs a strong Naas team. They seemed to get a little bit jittery towards the end but came through it well and were much deserved winners. There's a good profile in the team with experienced county men ably supported by excellent young players. I hope they can enjoy the celebrations but then knuckle down for a decent tilt at Leinster. I believe this year's Naas team is among the best club teams we've seen in Kildare. brianb (Kildare) - Posts: 331 - 08/11/2021 14:01:14 2388769 Link 1 |

I didn't make it to the game but by all accounts Naas were very lucky to come through and setup an interesting clash against Blessington. Its almost a derby game!

You could say they were lucky but yet deserved the win. I was at it and thought it was a good game. Naas had about 5 goal chances and scored two. I thought they had about 60% possession. I really like the attacking play of Naas and hope they keep going to the final. I know absolutely nothing about Blessington but they certainly won't be easy at this stage. Looking forward to the next round

That was a good win for Naas over the weekend although the scoreline made it look a little bit easier than it was. They were a lot more clinical. Its good to see all our clubs still standing in Leinster. Next up is Shelmaliers of Wexford. As always its very hard to read any line of form in these games but its bound to be tight. brianb (Kildare) - Posts: 331 - 07/12/2021 09:47:09 2391937 Link 1 |
Have to say, really enjoyed the game last Sunday.The Naas guys work so hard and always make options for the runners.. some pluses and minuses but overall a great performance. Where did Luke Griffin come from ?? Scored 2.03 !! I don't remember him at any of the underage games. With the possibility of it being on tv I might decide to take it easy and let the Naas supporters travel :) . Btw , nice to hear a few sash lads cheering Naas on. For club and county.

Fantastic win by Naas hurlers. Tore into Glenmore from the off and never let them settle from start to finish. Glenmore were lucky to get out with a six point margin. St.Conleth (Kildare) - Posts: 1701 - 11/12/2021 16:06:22 2392410 Link 2 |
100% agree. Great to see and congratulations to all involved. Reading in the papers today that Kilkenny teams have practically owned the Leinster Intermediate Club title. Fair play as well to Kilkenny in general. They've been very open to including teams from other counties in their championships at under age level. It really brought up the standard of club hurling in Carlow with their clubs benefiting massively and now the same appears to be happening for Naas. brianb (Kildare) - Posts: 331 - 13/12/2021 13:44:44 2392676 Link 1 |
I concur. Naas have made great strides over the years as regards hurling. I hope they win Leinster. My heart is with Courcey Rovers for the All-Ireland. Hurling at this time of the year does not help skillful sides like Naas or Glenmore.

Great photo going around after the game of Eoin Murphy on the pitch signing autographs. A class act.

Great performance by Naas once it went to extra time on Saturday, doubt many would have been tipping them to go beyond the semi final stage of the county championship at the start of the season never mind get this far. if_in_doubt (Kildare) - Posts: 3685 - 21/12/2021 19:12:22 2393438 Link 1 |
Fair play to Naas - got out of jail against Tullamore but have made the most of their second chance. A great achievement too for Kilcullen to reach a Leinster Final. They will be up against it in the final but are a tough, hard working team so you never know...

Does anyone know what the capacity in Newbridge will be set to? The ground already has a capacity drop from 13,000 to 8,200 for health and safety. Does the covid capacity cut come from the headline (13,000) rate or the already cut rate? To me 5,000 should be allowed attend in line with the regulations rather than 4,100. brianb (Kildare) - Posts: 331 - 05/01/2022 12:54:39 2393660 Link 0 |
I take it that season ticket holders will be looked after first.

What's the story with Kildare captain Mick O Grady wielding a St Brigids cross before the match? Seen a photo on Twitter. Id imagine St Conleth mightnt be happy with it. summerof09 (Meath) - Posts: 322 - 01/02/2022 07:51:04 2397618 Link 0 |
Such a thing to dig up a month old thread for… St Brigid is the patron saint of Kildare. Her monastery is here, she did all her work here and the Kildare GAA crest is modelled off that same cross. I'd say he's more annoyed about the state of the grounds named after him to be honest Sweetspot (Kildare) - Posts: 323 - 01/02/2022 10:15:19 2397635 Link 0 |
