Battle for Premier Division title continues as Thomastown United A and Evergreen A collide in Kilkenny & District League
Titles and title hopes will be in the mix this weekend as the Kilkenny & District League prepares for a bumper round of important games.
Silverware will be up for grabs from Friday, when East End United and Freshford Town meet in a playoff to determine the winners of the Brogmaker Division Three league title. The sides, who finished their regular campaign level on points and goals scored, will face-off at Evergreen's Kells Road base at 6.45pm.
Across the way in Derdimus another title will be contested for at the same time on Friday. Freebooters will play Deen Celtic, with the winners taking the Under-19 Henderson Shield home.
Saturday promises to be a big day for two young clubs from the Kilkenny & District League. Evergreen travel to Curracloe to play in the under-16 SFAI Skechers Cup regional final against North End United at 3pm. That game folllows hot on the heels of the under-12 SFAI Skechers Cup regional final, when Evergreen and Thomastown United meet in Curracloe at 11am.
The big games continue on Sunday with a crunch game in the St Canice's Credit Union Premier Division down for decision. Champions Evergreen A travel to United Park for a meeting with title contenders Thomastown United A. The sides are currently joint first in the table on 27 points apiece, with Freebooters A not far behind. With only two regular season games left, both Evergreen and Thomastown know a win could be a big indicator of where the title will go this year.
The Bank Holiday Weekend will draw to a close with two more finals in Derdimus on Monday. The under-18 girls' teams from Evergreen and Freebooters kick things off with their Cup final at 3pm. The Under-17 Con Downey Shield final between Callan United and Freebooters follows at 5pm.
