After a really disappointing run recently this game has a huge significance for the club. Only a few months ago we were hoping the club might push on and finish as high as sixth, we were only about 5 or 6 points off it. Instead ourselves and Kilkenny have been cast adrift at the bottom. Performances don't seem to have deteriorated, if anything they might have improved, but results have stopped coming. Now we face into a game that will most likely decide who finishes bottom.
We've already beaten Kilkenny well at senior and under 21 this year so they certainly hold no fear. This is a team we know we can beat. Kilkenny went down to Limerick and pulled off a victory where we suffered our worst defeat of the season, their new manager is settling in, so they're more confident now than ever.
I still think the Youths will raise their game for this one and take a win. We've been a little unlucky in front of goal recently and it's time for that to end. My prediction 3-1 to the Youths. Bradley, Sinnott, O'Loughlin with the goals.
