Maher Shield champions Evergreen A will start their title defence against Deen Celtic
Junior soccer is coming back to Kilkenny on Sunday, August 20.
The opening games of the new Kilkenny & District League campaign will see Evergreen A start with the defence of their Maher Shield title.

It is expected that the first round proper will be held on the weekend of August 27, with the leagues to begin in September.
