Hogan hopeful Cats won’t be caught napping

ALL these weeks later, it still hurts.

Anyone thinking that Kilkenny’s league final defeat at the hands of Dublin had been long forgotten is wrong, frankly. Just ask Cats captain Brian Hogan.

“You never want to lose a game but the days of taking Dublin for granted are long gone, they’ve been getting stronger and stronger — there’s a good core of lads there and they have plenty of good minors and U21s coming through,” he said.
