Ireland football

Kilkenny will meet London in the semi-finals of the 2022 All-Ireland junior football championship this July.

Kilkenny have previously won the British junior championship and will be familiar enough with London and Warwickshire though they won’t have meet since pre-pandemic times. The format of the competition was changed in recent years to include Kilkenny as the Irish-based county, along with the representation from England and the US. Draw details were confirmed over the bank holiday for this year’s All-Ireland junior football championship semi-finals, which brings together the top two sides from the British junior championships (where Kilkenny have previously played) along with New York and Kilkenny as the sole Irish county represented.
