Kilkenny gets all-clear to play for Castleknock

Dublin tyro Ciarán Kilkenny is eligible to line out for Castleknock in this weekend’s All-Ireland junior club football semi-final against Kenmare in Mitchelstown on Sunday.

There had been some doubts about the 19-year-old’s involvement in the game due to a release clause in his previous contract with AFL club Hawthorn Tigers.

The dual player missed out on Castleknock’s Leinster JFC final win over St Fintan’s of Wexford and All-Ireland quarter-final victory over St Peter’s of Manchester having began his rookie deal in Melbourne.
