Stephen Kenny blasts John Caulfield as penalty row rumbles on

Dundalk manager Stephen Kenny has hit out at his Cork City counterpart John Caulfield as tensions escalate between the League of Ireland’s top two clubs.

Last week Kenny released a hard-hitting statement on the club’s website bemoaning the fact his side hadn’t won a penalty in the league in a year.

He also pointed out that league leaders Cork, who head the Premier Division by nine points after nine wins from nine, had won 13 spot-kicks in the same period.
