Kilkenny chairman backing players
Members of the Kilkenny panel found themselves racing around a greyhound track in the city last week in a bid to raise money for a team holiday. They are also unhappy the 60,000 euro received from Central Council and the Leinster Council actually includes 30,000 euro set aside by Guinness for the All Ireland winner’s holiday fund.
Chairman Ned Quinn last night agreed that the incident has cast the Association in a bad light and left a sour taste amongst the champions, given the crowds who witnessed their achievements this year.
