Dear Noel,
We’re a hurling club, but with all the talk of promoting Gaelic football by Nickey Brennan, there’s a move on to enter a team in the Kilkenny junior football championship this year. We stuck a penknife in the football in 1982 and one hasn’t been seen in the field since. I’m the chairman. What should I do?

 Noel replies – These are more enlightened times, Caoimhin. Things have moved on. The old bigotry is a thing of the past. Enter the team. Send out your best lads. Win the junior championship. Maybe even take a scalp or two in the Leinster championship. That’ll soon concentrate minds in the club, and someone (it won’t even have to be you) will get the pen-knife out again. You can say you tried your best.

Knowledgeable Noel has no agenda other than to help the long-neglected ordinary club person. His website www.knowledgeablenoel.com is a repository of key club information. Email him on This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
