Never doubt Kilkenny’s contribution to hurling or love of the MacCarthy Cup

While I always enjoyed the hurling column of Tony Considine over the years I have to say that he went way over the top in his analysis of last Sundays hurling All-Ireland between Kilkenny and Galway (Irish Examiner September 8)

He most definitely should not have said the following... “Whether they (the Galway hurlers) took sleeping tablets underneath the Hogan Stand, I dont know. They definitely took something. They were a completely different team upon the change of ends”

How dare he state as fact that the Galway players “definitely took something”.
