IRISH MIDFIELDER ALAN Judge continued his remarkable run in the Championship yesterday, as he scored a penalty in Brentfordโs 2-2 draw with Fulham.
The goal means the 27-year-old keeps up his incredible record of being involved in 50% of Brentfordโs goals this season.
Of the 28 goals the Championship club have managed, Judge has now scored eight and assisted six.
Despite being capped numerous times at youth level, the Dubliner has yet to win a senior cap for Ireland.
Judgeโs fine form saw him win Championship Player of the Month for October, while he has been linked with a move to Premier League clubs, including Leicester and Bournemouth of late.
Speaking to The42 back in October, Judge played down rumours of a Premier League move, saying: โTo be honest with you, I just laugh it offโฆ Iโve had a good two or three weeks and had a decent start to the season as well, but Iโve got to continue this form to make sure things happen. But Iโm really enjoying life at Brentford at the moment and Iโd like to go places with them.โ
While Judge has yet to play for Ireland at senior level, he remains a strong contender to be part of the 23-man Euro 2016 panel, having featured regularly in the last few squads.
This was an epic entertaining game tbh, youโd feel sorry for any team that loses but to come out the wrong side of a cracking game is wicked tough, 2 cracking teams did themselves and club proud.
@Now or Never: Watched most of it on You Tube. Tullaroan were a bit better although Father O Neills never gave up. The 2nd half was unreal. Some high scoring and some top drawer scores. Maybe the 2 boys suspended was the difference, but saying that Tullaroan are worthy champions. Delighted for Tommy Walsh. Club is king.
@Decko49: ah I was hoping for a draw after 62nd min, but what a way to win and lose aswel. Youโll do well to see a better game all year tbh. Tullaroan worthy winners and Walsh is just a joy to watch. Some game!!
@Now or Never: hi let me tell you, a DRAW would have been a fair Result !!!!
@Tom Harrington: as is a one point win for Tullaroan, game was there to be won for either side. But another day out would have been great,just to see them go at it again.
Mandatory Viewing for any Squad โฆ
Phenomenal ! like a Rocky movie
Had it all folks -certainly feel for the loser
Refree contributed greatly by letting Game flow
Have to say & this is a Big Statement
That Was thee most Entertaining
Hurling Match Iโve seen in yearsโฆ
& I was extremely Neutralโฆ
Hurling is a gift from the Almighty
Thatโs some win. After 10 mins I thought Fr O Neills were going to walk it. Itโs mad 2 Tommy Walshโs on the team and the refs name was Thomas Walsh.
Great day for Kilkenny clubs. Hope Ballyhale complete the treble tomorrow.
@Jason Pierce: itโd be a brave man who would hit a Walsh on that team, youโd have 7 others after you!
@John S: even the ref was Tommy Walsh
One of the best games ever to grace Croker. Gutted as a FON man but the lads gave it everything and more
@James Irwin: Ye were unlucky. Ye beat us in Kilfinane this year and it was a great game in difficult conditions. But today was an unbelievable game. It had everything. The 2 boys missing were a big loss. Overall the year was a great one for ye so you should be extremely proud of your team which Iโm sure you are. Hope ye do great this coming year too
A cork team (male) really needed to get over the line at Croke Park in any division. Cork teams in the habit of losing big hurling games of recent times.
@Johnsinker: Father O Neills done themselves and Cork proud today. Yes they lost but they died with their boots on. The boys suspended were a huge loss. Itโs tough to lose the way they did. I think they will be very competitive at senior level next year In Cork
@Johnsinker: Quite a stretch to claim a Fr OโNeills win at Croker would have had any relevance to the Cork senior hurlers later in the year. Ridiculous, in fact. What a game of hurling. Well done to both sides.
@Decko49: I think they will only be playing Senior 2 in Cork next year with the new set up.
The best thing to happen to Cork hurling was Fr O Neills winning intermediate championship to split up Imokilly.
@Jason Pierce: Yes you are correct about Senior 2 but they will be competitive. As for Imokilly, I agree with you about splitting them up. I think Father O Neills had 5 members of that panel.
@Decko49: they will Be competitive. I think some of those lower tier senior teams are poor enough. Fr O Neillโs should be way to strong for some of them. They will have a huge start on the others with fitness too.
Sounded unreal. I always think in a game that tight with one team having scored 2 goals more, if the other team can beat them by a point or two itโs well deserved
I read the whole article and still donโt know if it was football or hurling
@Scoozie: the fact it involved a kilkenny club was a big give away
@Breanainn Buggy: and the high scoring!
@Scoozie: obv dont recognise Tommy Walsh as a hurler then eh
