Kenny rejects Royal stalwarts’ work ethic criticisms

THERE’S a part of Seamus Kenny that understands why former Meath players, former All-Ireland winning Meath players that is, have been lining up to take pot-shots.

One win from six Allianz FL Division 2 games, losing the last four of them... it’s not as if they lack material. But Kenny, as captain, has taken exception to the level of criticism directed at them by ex-Royals in print and on the airwaves recently.

“There are two ways of looking at it. The lads who have been criticising us are the reasons why I play football in the first place. The boys from the ’87 and ’88 teams are people I look up to and admire,” he said.
