Kilkenny drawn at home in opening round of Provincial Towns Cup
The Noresiders face Enniscorthy 2nds in the first game
The draw was made for the opening round of the Towns Cup earlier this week and Kilkenny were granted a home fixture with Enniscorthy set to visit Foulkstown.
The Cats will be hopeful of a cup run after a disappointing start to the season that sees them second from bottom in Division 1B of the Leinster League.
All of the opening round fixtures will take place on the final weekend of January.
