Tyrrell blasts ‘slipping’ Kilkenny’s ‘worst performance’

ALL STAR defender Jackie Tyrrell has delivered a damning verdict on Kilkenny’s Allianz National Hurling League final display, describing it as “the worst performance I was ever involved in with Kilkenny.”

The James Stephens powerhouse, who joined the Cats’ senior panel in 2003, was left devastated by a crushing 12-point defeat against Dublin at Croke Park in the Division One decider.

And Tyrrell, speaking in Limerick IT yesterday, admitted Kilkenny’s standards are “slipping”.
