Aussie-bound tyro Kilkenny available for Castleknock

Aussie Rules-bound Ciaran Kilkenny will play at least one more game of Gaelic football before he links up with the Hawthorn club next month.

Last Sunday, the former Dublin minor, U21 and senior ace helped Castleknock to victory in their initial football sortie into Leinster fare, blitzing Carlow’s Ballinabranna by 5-15 to 0-7 in their junior provincial clash at Bagenalstown.

The 19-year-old, who featured in the Dublin starting line-up in the All-Ireland semi-final loss to Mayo, lined out at wing-forward in the first half and subsequently at midfield in the comprehensive demolition of the Barrowside outfit.
