‘Point-less’ Cats at lowest ebb

KILKENNY football has endured many dispiriting days, but none so demoralising as yesterday’s Allianz League Division 4 defeat at home to lowly Leitrim.

Bad enough that the country’s inter-county outfit were hammered once more, this time by 28 points. What made it worse was the history-making fact that the Dick Mullins-managed Cats failed to register a single score, battered 3-19 to 0-0 in Ballyragget.

GAA historians last night suggested it’s the first time in living memory that a full-scale competitive GAA inter-county fixture has resulted in either side being held scoreless.
