Cats may quit league

Kilkenny are expected to consider withdrawing from the Allianz Football League and the Leinster U21 FC later this year.

In the wake of embarrassing 50 and 46-point defeats respectively to Louth’s U21s last Wednesday and Fermanagh in Division 4 on Sunday, the Cats are reeling and plan on undertaking a root-and-branch study of the game in the county.

Speaking on RTÉ on Saturday, county secretary Ned Quinn admitted they would rethink their participation in the Leinster U21 competition following the 6-34 to 0-2 humiliation.
