'Baltinglass have great history but that’s all it is’

Jason Kennedy is a man keen to make up for lost time and, more to the point with the AIB Leinster club football championship in mind, lost opportunities.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, his club, Baltinglass, simply couldn’t be beaten in the Wicklow championship, and went on to win the All-Ireland outright in 1990.

Those days are long gone though and on the one occasion since 1994 that Baltinglass did add to their county haul, in 2007, they were unable to take their place in the Leinster championship.
