Wexford Echo — You have to feel sorry for Kilkenny’s Minor Football team after this score

Saturday, April 16, 2016

We all know that the Cats of Kilkenny are masters at hurling, but their football leaves much to be desired.

This was amply shown in the result of today’s Leinster Minor Football Championship game at Nowlan Park between Kilkenny and Wexford.

Yes, you read that right, Wexford’s Minor Footballers won 17-20 to 0-00, a whopping 71-point win.

Wexford’s score was so much that the scoreboard didn’t have the space to record all their goals. So they had to use part of Kilkenny’s space.

There was an overwhelming feeling of symapthy for Kilkenny’s youngsters.

Can anyone explain to me the point of that Wexford/Kilkenny minor match today apart from making the Kilkenny lads never want to play again?

@Raftastico @OfficialWexGAA not fair on those poor Kilkenny kids or the Wexford lads either.... Where are the resources for football in Kil.

Ouch. That hammering of the Kilkenny minor footballers does not read well. Bad for the young lads confidence too.

Young lads basically abandoned by their county board

Scandalous. No youngster should be subjected to beating like that. Kilkenny county board need to look at themselves https://t.co/JwvuqcfY6q
