Kilkenny is in action on Saturday in the Leinster League Division 1A.
They’re away to Ashbourne in a must-win game that kicks off at 2 pm.
Kilkenny is coming off two defeats to table-toppers Bective Rangers and Ashbourne themselves will want to avoid a loss to keep themselves away from the bottom.
It’s been an up and down season for the Foulkstown men, having lots of disruption to their season with covid-19 and other factors meaning games were called off for them and their opposition, injuries have played a part too.
Kilkenny’s seconds play at 12.30 pm.
