Kingpins Kieran’s add to CBS tale of woe

St Kieran's 2-16 Kilkenny CBS 0-13

This wasn’t just any old loss – this one cut deep.

It wasn’t just that it was an All-Ireland final, bad as that is all on its own. This was the third All-Ireland final in a row lost by CBS, several players involved in at least two of those defeats; this was also a loss to their old rivals from across the river but, compounding it all, this was a loss against a Kieran’s team CBS had already well beaten in the Leinster final.
