13-man Kilkenny succumb to ravenous Dublin

Tipperary last week and now Kilkenny.

Kilkenny 3-11 Dublin 0-25:  It’s been quite the start to the league for Ger Cunningham’s new troops, even if this result will have any number of holes poked in it due to some of the mitigating factors on Kilkenny’s side.

Brian Cody had used the word “transition” even before this league campaign began and it looked a lot more appropriate yesterday than it had the week before, when his side took a deserved two-point haul home from Cork.
