Kilkenny Club Minor League Cup Final

Dunnamaggin and Kilkenny City meet in the Club Minor League Cup Final on Monday 10 August 2026 at MW Hire Dunmore, throw-in 7pm. The Minor League Cup gives Kilkenny’s underage ladies footballers a knockout trophy to play for alongside the county league proper, and a final between these two sides caps off a summer campaign for both clubs’ minor panels.

What to expect

This is a straight cup final, one game to decide the title, refereed by Eamon Mansfield. Kilkenny’s ladies football scene has grown steadily in recent years, with the county fielding sides across multiple age grades and Division 4 status in the national league at senior level, and finals like this one are where the pathway for future senior players is built. Expect a competitive, well-supported evening with both clubs bringing plenty of family and club support to Dunmore. Minor grade in ladies football typically covers players in their mid-teens, so this is a showcase for some of the county’s emerging talent as much as it is a straightforward cup decider.

Getting there

MW Hire Dunmore is on the southern edge of Kilkenny city, easily reached from the ring road and with parking available at the grounds. It is one of the county’s regular venues for ladies football fixtures at club and representative level.

While you’re in Kilkenny

Dunmore is only a few minutes from Kilkenny city centre, so the final pairs easily with an evening in the city afterwards, taking in the castle grounds or one of the city’s many pubs. There is more to see in Kilkenny and across Co. Kilkenny.
