Cats tear woeful Wexford apart

ON RTÉ ONE yesterday morning they were discussing the history of cricket in Ireland and how strong it was in Kilkenny in the 19th century.

Had that state of affairs continued, Kilkenny would have been declaring at half-time in this National Hurling League semi-final in Thurles yesterday, at which point they led a hapless, hopelessly-outclassed Wexford by 2-10 to 1-3.

Certainly by the 17th minute of the second half, when they’d extended the lead to 2-17 to 1-4, team captain James ‘Cha’ Fitzpatrick would have been for calling it an innings, and put us all out of our misery.
