Bonnar primed for Cats’ backlash

IF Wexford and Kilkenny have ever played a senior Leinster Championship game in Wexford Park before then no-one alive in the south-east seems to have any recollection of it.

Local journalists, some recognised as oracles of the game in these parts, scratched their heads when asked to come up with a date when these two neighbours have done battle anywhere outside of Croke Park.

It’s a remarkable situation given the history between these two counties, the frequency with which they have faced each other in hurling combat since the GAA was formed over a century and a quarter ago.
