Cry for help follows football cat-astrophe

KILKENNY senior football coach Dick Mullins has called for more help for his team following Sunday’s drubbing by Offaly in the O’Byrne Cup.

“We are out of our depth competing in the senior grade. Kilkenny football needs to be playing at a level where we stand at least a 50/50 chance of winning,” he said.

“Twelve months ago we played Athlone IT in the O’Byrne Cup and won by two points which was a huge confidence booster going into the next round against Laois.
