Tánaiste lends backing to Kilkenny as Kennedy Cup Quarter-Final place secured

Tanaiste and Minister for Finance, Simon Harris took time out of his busy schedule to pose for a picture with the Kilkenny under-14 soccer squad.

Both Mr Harris and the local side, who are taking part in this week’s Kennedy Cup, cross paths while at the Barrack Obama Plaza on Monday.

“Great to bump into The Kilkenny U14 Kennedy Cup squad on my way to Limerick this morning,” Mr Harris said.

On the pitch, Kilkenny recorded three wins on Tuesday at the annual tournament held in the University of Limerick.

Conal Kelly found the target as Kilkenny beat Roscommon (2-1), Mayo (3-0) and Donegal (2-0).

Kilkenny will play Galway in the Kennedy Cup Quarter-Finals on Wednesday afternoon at 4pm.
