Cats rocked as Fogarty suffers leg fracture

KILKENNY’s injury crisis has worsened ahead of Sunday week’s Allianz Hurling League decider against Dublin with Aidan Fogarty, Michael Fennelly and John Dalton all the latest additions to the treatment room after their victory over Offaly in Nowlan Park last weekend.

Fogarty is the biggest casualty with confirmation yesterday that he broke his leg in two places in a clash towards the end of the tie. The Emeralds attacker looks set to miss the entire Leinster championship campaign.

All Star midfielder Fennelly fractured a bone in his hand and was withdrawn at half-time while defender John Dalton suffered ligament damage to his ankle in the second-half of the 1-27 to 1-19 win and his participation in the showdown with Anthony Daly’s side is in doubt.
