One player turns up for county training!

Four coaches for one player

Kilkenny football reached a new low last weekend...

The county minor selectors organised a training session to try to get some preparatory work in ahead of this year's Leinster MFC, but only one player showed up.

Four coaches were present, hoping to put the players through their paces.

Two clubs made contact with the organisers saying they would be unable to participate but the rest didn't even bother.

Brendan O'Sullivan from the Development Squads told Monday night's County Board meeting: "Heads go down when you mention football in the county.

"Clubs actively discourage lads from coming in. What happened was insulting to the lads involved, the other team officials and myself, and to the county.

"Give some chance to the youngsters or we can actually forget about football altogether."

They're playing Kildare in the 1st round, will do neither team any benefit.

Especially with that silly system ye have in Leinster where if you lose Round 1 you get back in but if you lose in Round 2 it's out ya go

Does anything else exist in Kilkenny besides Hurling. Cavan don't have a Senior Hurling team, but put in a great effort under age from u14 to Minor level to at least compete.

Kilkenny City use to have a team in the League of Ireland First Division, until 2008, one of the reasons for pulling out along with poor finance, was shite attendances - all attending Hurling possibly.

True, although the Kildare minors have never got a second chance in Leinster. You had the farcical situation three year ago where they beat Dublin in round 1 and then again after 2 replays in the quarter-finals.

Never thought of it like that but you're absolutely right.

Football is an alien game in Kilkenny. They're right not to bother with it.

[muppet]

In some places the 4 coaches would be paid to shout and run the crap out of the one player.

I hope he learned something.

Yeah, he learned not to bother his f**king hole the next time!

Ah, Kilkenny and their county football teams.    Just because it's a county, does not mean they have to enter a team into competition to get hammered. If there is a player/players good enough they should be able to throw their lot in with another neighbouring county. But throwing together a team for the sake of it, does nobody any good.

I agree completely.

We sent a group of lads over the Warwickshire last weekend......
