A busy end to 2016 and a bumper start to 2017 are in store for the schoolboys’ and schoolgirls’ divisions in the Kilkenny & District League.
The League has announced two rounds of fixtures for some of their younger competitions to be held over the festive period.
The games, which will be held on New Year’s Eve and Monday, January 2, cover teams at several levels - the Glanbia Under-12 League, the Kilkenny People Under-13 League Division Two, Under-14 Bennettsbridge Parts League Divisions One and Two, the Under-15 St Canice’s Credit Union League Divisions One and Two, TC Tyres Under-16 League Division Two and the TC Tyres Under-17 League, as well as the Under-12, 14 and 16 schoolgirls’ competitions.
The decision to play the games during the Christmas break was taken at the League’s last Council meeting in December. The move will help to reduce the backlog of outstanding fixtures.
